title: Ungulate Browsing and Foundation Tree Regeneration in Central New England 2010

description: Large herbivores are important forest disturbances capable of altering community composition, biodiversity, tree density, successional pathways, and nutrient cycling. The extent to which browsers exert important impacts on forests, however, depends on the intensity and duration of browsing, the palatability and tolerance of the vegetation, available resources to plants, and the scale at which these factors are being investigated. Few studies have examined ungulate impacts at the landscape scale. Since the late-1980s moose have recolonized their pre-historical range in southern New England, joined white-tailed deer to create a potentially important new driver of forest dynamics in the region. Few, if any, studies have looked at combined deer and moose impacts on temperate forests in eastern North America. In the summer of 2010, we initiated a landscape-scale observational study on ungulate habitat use and browsing on foundation tree species (Quercus spp. and Tsuga canadensis) in unlogged forests. Seventy-two forest plots were sampled across several ecoregions in central and western Massachusetts, southern Vermont and New Hampshire and northern Connecticut. Tree seedlings, overstory characteristics, browsing, pellet piles, and shrub densities were sampled; and site attributes such as mean annual temperature and forest fragmentation were examined.

title: Partitioning the Components of Soil Respiration in a Trenching Experiment at Harvard Forest 2009-2010

description: Total soil respiration (Rt) is a combination of autotrophic (Ra) and heterotrophic respiration (Rh). Several methods have been developed to tease out the components of Rt, such as isotopic analyses, and removing Ra input through tree girdling and root exclusion experiments. Trenching involves severing the rooting system surrounding a plot to remove the Ra component within the plot. This method has some potential limitations. Reduced water uptake in trenched plots could change soil water content, which is one of the environmental controllers of Rt in many ecosystems. Eliminating root inputs could reduce heterotrophic decomposition of SOM via lack of priming. On the other hand, the severed dead roots may temporarily increase available carbon substrate for Rh. We utilized the trenching method to partition the autotrophic and heterotrophic components of soil respiration in an oak dominated forest with the footprint of the LPH tower.

title: Ant Mesocosm Experiment in Harvard Forest Lath Houses 2011-2012

description: Direct and indirect consequences of global warming on ecosystem functions and processes mediated by invertebrates remain understudied but are likely to have major impacts on ecosystems in the future. Among animals, invertebrates are taxonomically diverse, responsive to temperature changes, and play major ecological roles which also respond to temperature changes. We used a mesocosm experiment to evaluate impacts of two warming treatments (+3.5 and + 5 °C, set points) and the presence and absence of the ant Formica subsericea (a major mediator of processes in north-temperate ecosystems) on decomposition rate, soil movement, soil respiration, and nitrogen availability. Replicate 19-Litre mesocosms were placed outdoors in lath houses and continuously warmed for 30 days in 2011 and 85 days in 2012. Warming treatments mimicked expected temperature increases for future climates in eastern North America. In both years, the amount of soil displaced and soil respiration increased in the warming and ant presence treatments (soil movement: 73 to 119%; soil respiration: 37 to 48% relative to the control treatments without ants). Decomposition rate and nitrogen availability tended to decrease in the warmest treatments (decomposition rate: -26 to -30%; nitrate availability: -11 to -42%). Path analyses indicated that ants had significant short term direct and indirect effects on the studied ecosystem processes. These results suggest that ants may be moving more soil and building deeper nests to escape increasing temperatures, but warming may also influence their direct and indirect effects on soil ecosystem processes.

title: Ocular Trauma in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom from 2001 to 2011: A Bayesian Network Analysis

description: To update the epidemiology of ocular injuries in soldiers admitted to Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) from 2001 to 2011 after sustaining combat injuries in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Data were collected in the Walter Reed Ocular Trauma Database. A Bayesian Network Analysis was completed to better understand the relationships between different ocular demographic variables, injuries, surgeries, ocular trauma scores (OTS) and visual outcomes. There were 890 consecutive globe or adnexal combat injuries, or both, sustained by 652 United States soldiers treated at WRAMC between 2001 and 2011.The primary mechanism of injury was improvised explosive device (62.47%). Many patients (62.0%) had final visual acuity (VA) grades of 1–2 (20/15 – 20/200), while 29.9% of patients had final VA grades of 3–5 (less than 20/200), and 8.1% had unknown final VA grades. Bayesian Network Analysis revealed that the injury variables of Retina (47.9%), Lens (44.6%), Posterior Segment (43.7%) and Anterior Segment (40.3%), and the surgical variables of Enucleation (97.6%) and cataract extraction and posterior capsule intraocular lens placement (CEPCIOL; 43.3%) all had probabilities greater than 40% for a poor final VA, while all other variables were less than 40%. Modern-day combat trauma results in complicated ocular injuries causing 30% of patients to be left legally blind in their injured eye. It is critical to maintain a wide variety of deployable, specialty trained ophthalmologists to ensure the best visual outcomes for wounded warriors and to maintain mission readiness.

title: Development and Validation of a Questionnaire Assessing Patient Distress from Preoperative Fasting in Cataract Surgery

description: <b>Purpose</b>: To develop and psychometrically validate a questionnaire to measure patient distress with preoperative fasting related to cataract surgery. <b>Methods</b>: In this single-centered cross-sectional study, consecutive sampling of cataract patients was undertaken immediately preoperatively from February to December 2019. A questionnaire evaluating patient distress with fasting was designed and administered. Questionnaire development occurred in an iterative process and was conducted with consultation from expert investigators and patients. Validation and psychometric evaluation of the questionnaire were performed with Rasch analysis. <b>Results</b>: A preliminary version of the questionnaire was developed by 10 study investigators. Across five iterations of development, the questionnaire was administered to 186 cataract patients. Psychometric evaluation of the 13-item questionnaire demonstrated ordered thresholds, acceptable item calibration and fit, adequate internal consistency, ability to discriminate between three levels of distress from preoperative fasting and no notable differential item functioning. However, issues with mistargeting, clustering of items on the person-item map and multidimensionality remained. Given these concerns, 13 separate re-analyses were conducted via removal of certain items. A 6-item subset was determined to be well targeted, unidimensional, did not display item clustering and was able to discriminate between patients with high and low distress from preoperative fasting. <b>Conclusion</b>: A 6-item questionnaire is a valid, psychometrically robust and reliable measure for the assessment of patient distress with preoperative fasting in cataract surgery. Items include hunger, thirst, hoarseness, weakness, anxiety and nausea. Future studies should seek to validate this questionnaire across a variety of sociodemographic contexts, languages and specialties.

title: Experience of telehealth in people with motor neurone disease using noninvasive ventilation

description: Evidence is emerging that telehealth provides timely and cost-effective support for individuals with motor neurone disease (MND). However, little is known about the subjective experience of using telehealth. This study was designed to examine the experiences of using telemonitoring in patients with MND on noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven patients (five males; mean age = 63 yrs; median illness duration = 14 m), who used a telemonitoring device for 24 weeks. Caregivers were present at five of the interviews; they supported communications and provided their feedback. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was conducted to find overarching themes. Five themes were identified: Benefits of Timely Intervention, Reducing the Unnecessary, Increased Self-Awareness, Taking Initiative, and Technical Challenges. Overall, timely interventions were observed as a result of regular monitoring, contributing to both physical and psychological well-being of the participants. The patient-caregiver dyads suggested that telemonitoring could reduce costs, save time and ameliorate hassles associated with attending hospital appointments. Participants articulated that telemonitoring enabled symptom awareness and interpretation; the device also enabled the participants to raise concerns and/or requests to the healthcare professionals via the messaging system. Participants confirmed that the telemonitoring device was easy to use, despite some technical issues. Telemonitoring was positively experienced. The findings suggest this approach is empowering and effective in promoting patients’ well-being, while potentially reducing unnecessary clinical contact.Implications for RehabilitationCare for people with MND demands a flexible approach to accommodate the diversity of clinical needs and relentless physical deterioration.Telehealth allows clinicians to provide person-centred care for everyone with MND through frequent monitoring.Holistic and rehabilitative service facilitated by telehealth is generally acceptable and preferred to routine appointments among MND NIV patients.Telehealth promotes time efficient engagement with professionals that leads to symptom awareness and interpretation, while benefiting physical and psychological well-being of MND NIV patients.

title: Face and content validity for the Wheelchair Satisfaction Questionnaire

description: Because outcomes studies are known to facilitate effective use of funds, economic realities in lower-resource countries increase the need for outcome measures for wheelchair effectiveness in these areas. Effective use of funds based on evidence is especially needed since the level of wheelchair provision is low, and many wheelchairs are inappropriate for their intended users. There are very few existing wheelchair specific assistive technology outcome measures. The Wheelchair Satisfaction Questionnaire (WSQ) was designed to be a snapshot of a wheelchair user’s level of satisfaction with their wheelchair. The current studies examined the development of the WSQ and its initial face and content validity. The WSQ is comprised of 16 visual analogue scale questions; each question includes a qualitative explanatory comment. In study 1, 15 adult users of manual wheelchairs completed the WSQ and then the completed a follow-up questionnaire which collected feedback on each question. In study 2, 15 secondary school student users of manual wheelchairs in Kenya completed the same procedure used in study 1. High mean satisfaction scores on the follow-up questionnaire support face and content validity in both studies. The WSQ has the potential to give wheelchair users a quantifiable voice on wheelchair function. Data obtained from the WSQ also has the potential to provide data from wheelchair users to wheelchair manufacturers and providers, leading to better design and provision.Implications for RehabilitationBased upon the score of a specific item, manufacturers could improve design of wheelchairs for use in lower-and-middle-income countries, and providers could be better-informed as to models sent to specific environments.The WSQ could provide evidence-based information to support improved provision and design.The WSQ could be used in a clinical setting over time to identify the most common interface problems in that particular setting.

title: Effectiveness of using assistive technology for time orientation and memory, in older adults with or without dementia

description: The purposes of this study were to reveal the effectiveness of an electric calendar, showing the date and schedule automatically for older people, and to prove the characteristics of appropriate users. The participants were 27 older adults with or without dementia (9 men and 18 women, mean age: 81.5 ± 6.9 years, range: 72–94 years). The study design was a cross-over randomized controlled trial, with 15 participants (55.6%) allocated to the first group to use the electric calendar, and 12 participants (44.4%) to the second intervention group. The outcome measures are daily behaviors and cognitive function assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination and Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Examination. Participants showed significant increase in total Mini-Mental State Examination score (<i>p</i> = 0.020, a paired <i>t</i>-test) after intervention period, whereas there was no significant difference after no intervention. Daily activities related healthcare were improved. The participants with positive outcomes showed higher motivations, and around 18 points in Mini-Mental State Examination. Most healthy older adults mentioned that electric calendars were useful, but unnecessary. Using the electric calendar was effective in improving global cognitive function and daily activities. The target users are older people, who (1) might have mild dementia, (2) have difficulties in daily activities, (3) can be supported by caregivers, and (4) have positive motivation to new technologies.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAn electric calendar is effective on grovel cognitive function, and activities of daily living related to healthcare in older adults, as well as reality orientation therapy.The electric calendar can be useful for older people with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment, having difficulties activities of daily living, supported by caregivers at regular intervals.
