Stochastic inversion of seismic PP and PS data for reservoir parameter estimation | We have investigated the value of isotropic seismic converted-wave (i.e., PS) data for reservoir parameter estimation using stochastic approaches based on a floating-grain rock-physics model. We first performed statistical analysis on a simple two-layer model built on actual borehole logs and compared the relative value of PS data versus amplitude-variation-with-offset (AVO) gradient data for estimating the floating-grain fraction. We found that PS data were significantly more informative than AVO gradient data in terms of likelihood functions, and the combination of PS and AVO gradient data together with PP data provided the maximal value for the reservoir parameter estimation. To evaluate the value of PS data under complex situations, we developed a hierarchical Bayesian model to combine seismic PP and PS data and their associated time registration. We extended a model-based Bayesian method developed previously for inverting seismic PP data only, by including PS responses and time registration as additional data and PS traveltime and reflectivity as additional variables. We applied the method to a synthetic six-layer model that closely mimics real field scenarios. We found that PS data provided more information than AVO gradient data for estimating the floating-grain fraction, porosity, net-to-gross, and layer thicknesses when their corresponding priors were weak. | [

Two‐Pore K + Channel TREK‐1 Regulates Sinoatrial Node Membrane Excitability | Background Two‐pore K + channels have emerged as potential targets to selectively regulate cardiac cell membrane excitability; however, lack of specific inhibitors and relevant animal models has impeded the effort to understand the role of 2‐pore K + channels in the heart and their potential as a therapeutic target. The objective of this study was to determine the role of mechanosensitive 2‐pore K + channel family member TREK ‐1 in control of cardiac excitability. Methods and Results Cardiac‐specific TREK ‐1–deficient mice (α MHC ‐ Kcnk f/f ) were generated and found to have a prevalent sinoatrial phenotype characterized by bradycardia with frequent episodes of sinus pause following stress. Action potential measurements from isolated α MHC ‐ Kcnk2 f/f sinoatrial node cells demonstrated decreased background K + current and abnormal sinoatrial cell membrane excitability. To identify novel pathways for regulating TREK ‐1 activity and sinoatrial node excitability, mice expressing a truncated allele of the TREK ‐1–associated cytoskeletal protein β IV ‐spectrin ( qv 4J mice) were analyzed and found to display defects in cell electrophysiology as well as loss of normal TREK ‐1 membrane localization. Finally, the β IV ‐spectrin/ TREK ‐1 complex was found to be downregulated in the right atrium from a canine model of sinoatrial node dysfunction and in human cardiac disease. Conclusions These findings identify a TREK ‐1–dependent pathway essential for normal sinoatrial node cell excitability that serves as a potential target for selectively regulating sinoatrial node cell function. | [

Abstract 116: Cortical Thickness Estimation From Clinical T1 Weighted Magnetic Resonance Images To Predict Functional Outcomes After Mechanical Thrombectomy | Background: Endovascular treatment (EVT) is the standard of care for acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, successful EVT does not result in functional independence in many patients. This may be due to pre-existing cortical atrophy that might reduce compensatory plasticity and attenuate recovery. Identifying patients who will most benefit from EVT may be possible using baseline cortical thickness measures as a marker of brain health and providing additional prognostic utility for clinical T1-weighted (T1w) MRI. Objective: Estimate hemispheric and regional cortical thickness from clinical T1w-MRI and determine its influence on functional outcomes post successful EVT. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (n=602), collected between 2015 - 2021. We selected 213 patients (mean age 67.5 ± 14.6, 49.3% female) who had adequate quality MRI within 14 days of EVT and a record of the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 90 days post EVT. Clinical T1w images were transformed into high-resolution images using the convolutional neural network SynthSR. Then, FreeSurfer was used to estimate hemispheric and regional mean cortical thickness from the side contralateral to the stroke, to avoid local lesion effects. In addition to hemispheric cortical thickness, we selected the insula, superior frontal gyrus (SFG), and superior temporal gyrus (STG) for the analysis due to their importance in sensorimotor processing, self-awareness, and social cognition respectively which are important during rehabilitation. Results: In an ordinal regression model adjusted for baseline mRS, the cortical thickness of the SFG and the STG was significantly predictive of 90-day mRS (p=0.005 and p=0.003 respectively), while hemispheric and insular cortical thickness were not. After adjusting for confounders and comorbidities, SFG and STG cortical thickness remained significant predictors of 90-day mRS (p Conclusions: The correlation between decreased cortical thickness in specific regions and worse functional outcomes elucidates the effects of pre-existing cortical atrophy in key areas of the brain that may be more important than others during recovery. | [

Immediate effects of two attention strategies on trunk control on patients after stroke. A randomized controlled pilot trial | Objective: To compare the immediate effects of an external focus to enhance lateral body weight shift after stroke. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation hospital. Subjects: Twenty patients after stroke (11 males; mean (SD) age 72.2 (7.4) years; duration of illness 56 (14) days; there were 9 (45%) left-sided strokes) with impaired sitting balance were randomly allocated into two groups either external focus ( n = 10) or internal focus ( n = 10). Intervention: Patients in the external focus group, while sitting, were instructed to shift as much weight as they could sidewards to an external point next to their hip. Patients in the internal focus group were instructed to shift as much weight as they could sidewards to their hip. Main outcome measures: Immediate lateral body weight shift as well as anterior–posterior deviation was measured in centimetres with a sensor mat. Results: Patients in the external focus group achieved greater lateral body weight shift than those in the internal focus group (mean shift (SD) 8.7 (2.6) cm vs. 4.5 (3.3) cm, respectively; P = 0.006). However, there were no significant differences in anterior–posterior deviation (mean shift (SD) 2.3 (1.3) cm vs. 1.2 (1.2) cm, respectively; P = 0.08). Conclusion: Using an external focus may lead immediately to an enhanced lateral body weight shift while sitting, without increasing anterior–posterior deviation. | Clinical Rehabilitation | [

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in testicular cancer survivors (TCS): Do unmet needs resolve with routine care? | 56 Background: Unmet needs for intervention are common among cancer survivors, but may go unidentified and unaddressed in routine care, leading to poorer outcomes. PROs are becoming the standard of care at many treatment facilities and have been shown to be feasible and to potentially improve outcomes. However, communication of PROs to providers may be a necessary step in this process. We examined the prevalence and stability of unmet needs over a one-year time period in a sample of TCS to determine whether these resolve over time in routine care. As well, we examined the relationship of unmet needs to symptoms of anxiety and depression. Methods: Ninety-nine consecutive TCS were recruited from an ongoing survivorship clinic. Participants completed assessments of demographics, unmet needs, and anxiety and depression (HADS) prior to their visit and at a one year interval. To ensure routine care, providers were unaware of the results of unmet need screening. Results: Participants were primarily white (94%), early middle aged (M = 40 yrs), married (71%), and college educated (79%). Most participants were diagnosed with Stage I disease (73%) an average of 7 years previously. The number of unmet needs was generally low (M 2 > 8.12, all p 0.05). Number of unmet needs was associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety at both time points (all r > 0.23 and | [

Rank-Based Inference for Survey Sampling Data | Abstract For regression models where data are obtained from sampling surveies, the statistical analysis is often based on approaches that are either non-robust or inefficient. The handling of survey data requires more appropriate techniques, as the classical methods usually result in biased and inefficient estimates of the underlying model parameters. This article is concerned with the development of a new approach of obtaining robust and efficient estimates of regression model parameters when dealing with survey sampling data. Asymptotic properties of such estimators are established under mild regularity conditions. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, Monte Carlo simulation experiments are carried out and show that the estimators obtained from the proposed methodology are robust and more efficient than many of those obtained from existing approaches, mainly if the survey data tend to result in residuals with heavy-tailed or skewed distributions and/or when there are few gross outliers. Finally, the proposed approach is illustrated with a real data example. | Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology | [

Screwdriver Bit Head Design – Effect of Phillips, Straight, and a Hybrid Design on Torque, Axial Force, and Effort Ratio | Advancements in fastener technology have been complemented by the development of new types of screwdriver bits. While designs may vary, so may the force application requirements placed on the tool user. The primary objective of this experiment was to analyze the relationship between user applied torque and screwdriver bit design. A further objective was to utilize the results to develop an effort metric by which bits of different designs can be compared. Three types of screwdriver bit designs (straight, Phillips, and combination of straight/Phillips (ECXTM)) were tested to determine how the design affects the amount and type of force applied by the user when performing a fastening task. The designs were tested to simulate fastener tightening and loosening operations. Sixteen participants were tested in this study. The data suggest there is no difference in user torque exertion between the ECXTM bit, Phillips, and the straight bit designs in either direction, 2.61-2.97 Nm for pronation and 2.63 -2.85 for supination. Mean axial force was significantly less for the Phillips (67 N) than the other 2 bits (72 and 80N). Although there was no significant effect of bit head design on maximal torque and axial force, the data suggest that the Phillips bit design may allow subjects to exert less axial force, which would result in a higher biomechanical effort ratio. A greater effort ratio would produce greater torque for the same axial force or the same torque for a lower axial force. Mean effort ratio for the Phillips bit was 3.6 N/N (Sup) and 4 N/N (Pro) and approximately 3.0 for the other two combinations of bits and directions. Subjective assessment indicated that users overwhelmingly preferred the Phillips bit design | Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting | [

Knowledge management, response ability, and the agile enterprise | This paper defines the agile enterprise as one which is able to both manage and apply knowledge effectively, and suggests that value from either capability is impeded if they are not in balance. It looks at the application of knowledge as requiring a change, and overviews a body of analytical work on change proficiency in business systems and processes. It looks at knowledge management as a strategic portfolio management responsibility based on learning functionality, and shares knowledge and experience in organizational collaborative learning mechanisms. It introduces the concept of plug‐compatible knowledge packaging as a means for increasing the velocity of knowledge diffusion and the likelihood of knowledge understood at the depth of insight. Finally, it reviews a knowledge portfolio management and collaborative knowledge development architecture used successfully in a sizable cross‐industry informal‐consortia activity, and suggests that it is a good model for a corporate university architecture. | Journal of Knowledge Management | [

A Case Study of the Typical Issues Involved in Quality Improvement | Work carried out to develop a quality improvement programme in a customised manufacturing situation is reported on. There were many influences on the host company that made quality improvement desirable. These included initiatives such as the United Kingdom′s National Quality Campaign, the “quality knock‐on effect” of companies which have made quality their number one priority, various examples of quality problems within the organisation, influences of other companies within the group of which the host company is part, and quality initiatives taken by individual managers. The main steps in developing the process are described along with the problems encountered. | [

Photoionization of Atomic Systems Using the Random-Phase Approximation Including Relativistic Interactions | Approximation methods are unavoidable in solving a many-electron problem. One of the most successful approximations is the random-phase approximation (RPA). Miron Amusia showed that it can be used successfully to describe atomic photoionization processes of many-electron atomic systems. In this article, the historical reasons behind the term “random-phase approximation” are revisited. A brief introduction to the relativistic RPA (RRPA) developed by Walter Johnson and colleagues is provided and some of its illustrative applications are presented. | [

Mourning Balliceaux: Towards a biography of a Caribbean island of death, grief and memory | This contribution considers how a small Caribbean island (Balliceaux, St Vincent and the Grenadines) holds up a mirror to the wider experiences of the Garifuna (‘Black Carib’) peoples who live on the neighbouring island of St Vincent, and in diasporic communities through the Americas. In the late-18th Century Balliceaux was the scene of a genocide orchestrated by the British colonial authorities on the Garifuna, and as a consequence it has become an important place of memory for them, yet it also provokes other emotional responses. We start by taking a broadly phenomenological approach to the analysis of islandscape, emphasising its qualities as an embodied as well as physical entity, and then build upon the notion of embodiment using perspectives drawn from psychological studies of grief and grieving through the lens of grief and death studies. We argue that it is only through deploying such a phenomenological perspective to the study of this Caribbean island that we can discern the metaphors employed by the Garifuna in making sense of this island of death, grief and memory. By drawing on their own understandings of Balliceaux as a base for our theorisations, we offer an original theoretical and decolonised approach to thinking about the character, or sense of place, of a small, yet emotionally significant, Caribbean island. | [

Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder of the Nasopharynx | Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a serious complication of organ transplantation. Although the precise etiology is unknown, the Epstein-Barr virus and immunosuppressive agents appear to be risk factors. The presentation PTLD is diverse, including many patients with symptoms of the head and neck, which may make diagnosis difficult. We present a patient who had undergone renal transplantation referred for recurrent sinusitis. She was found to have PTLD of the nasopharynx. Three cases of head and neck PTLD treated at our institution are described. Although PTLD is uncommon in the general community, the incidence has continued to increase as more patients undergo transplants and clinical presentations of PTLD should be familiar to the otolaryngologist. | American Journal of Rhinology | [

Abstract P3-13-07: Are there patients with T1-T2, node-negative breast cancer who are high-risk for locoregional recurrence? | Abstract Background: Indications for post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) in T1-T2, node negative (N0) breast cancer patients with “high-risk” features are controversial based on lack of consensus as to what constitutes “high-risk”, and variable results of small retrospective studies. The EORTC 22922 and MA20 trials reporting improved 10-year disease-free survival with nodal irradiation included high-risk N0 patients but these patients were not analyzed separately and did not receive modern systemic therapy. We sought to evaluate long-term locoregional control in T1-T2N0 patients with high-risk features undergoing mastectomy in the contemporary era. Methods: We retrospectively identified patients with T1-T2N0 breast cancer with ≥1 high-risk feature treated with mastectomy from 1/2006-12/2011. High-risk features were defined as age <40 years, multifocal/multicentric disease, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), medial or central tumor location, and high nuclear grade. The primary outcome of interest was rate of LRR. Results: Among 672 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 187 (28%) had 1 risk factor: 21 (3%) were age <40 years, 132 (20%) were multifocal/multicentric, and 34 (5%) had LVI; 449 (67%) patients had ≥2 high-risk features, and 36 patients with unknown grade were excluded from risk analysis. PMRT was received by only 15 (2%) patients. Clinicopathologic characteristics of the 657 patients treated without PMRT are shown in Table 1. Table 1: Clinicopathologic characteristics, n = 657 Median (Range)Age, years49 (24-89)Tumor size, cm1.4 (<0.1-5.0) n (%)Ductal histology566 (86%)High nuclear grade*266 (40%)LVI232 (35%)Multifocal/multicentric447 (68%)Medial/central tumor226 (34%)Receptor status** ER+/HER2-438 (67%)HER2+123 (19%)ER-/HER2-70 (11%) n (%)Rate of LRR# of risk factors* 1183 (28%)3.8%2265 (40%)5.3%3143 (22%)4.9%4 or 532 (5%)9.4%*Unknown grade in 34 cases, excluded from risk analysis **Unknown receptor status in 26 cases Sentinel node biopsy alone was performed in 98% of these patients. A median of 4 lymph nodes were retrieved (range 1-15). Adjuvant systemic therapy was received by 86% of patients. At median 5.6 years of follow-up, overall LRR rate was 4.7% (n = 31), with the majority (55%) of events involving the chest wall. Increasing tumor size was associated with LRR (HR 1.70, 95% CI 1.26–2.29, p = 0.006), while age, histology, grade, subtype, LVI, multifocality/multicentricity, and tumor location were not (all p > 0.05). Although rate of LRR increased from 3.8% to 9.4% with 1 vs. ≥4 high-risk features, a comparison of 1 vs. 2 vs. 3 vs. ≥4 risk factors was not significant by Kaplan-Meier estimation (p = 0.54). Conclusions: A low LRR rate of 4.7% was seen in this large unselected cohort of T1-T2N0 cancers with "high-risk" features treated by mastectomy and systemic therapy without PMRT. While increasing tumor size was predictive, other features did not confer a higher risk of LRR either independently or together, and do not by themselves mandate the use of PMRT in this population.

Mindfulness – en religionssociologisk analyse af et moderne fænomen | ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Mindfulness is a phenomenon increasingly attracting interest in Denmark. It is offered by many different types of providers. This research categorizes in a complete sample of mindfulness providers in Aarhus the way in which these providers communicate their affiliation with mindfulness as respectively Buddhism, spirituality or a-religious technique. This is done using the criteria’s authorization, text reference and visual reference. The article's research shows that mindfulness is offered as a-religious technique, but claims simultaneously, based on Hornborg and Durkheim, that even this alleged a-religiosity can be considered religious.DANSK RESUMÉ: Mindfulness er et fænomen i vækst. Den udbydes af mange forskellige typer af udbydere. Denne undersøgelse kategoriserer i et komplet sample af mindfulness-udbydere i Aarhus måden hvorpå disse udbydere kommunikerer deres tilhørsforhold til mindfulness som henholdsvis buddhisme, spiritualitet eller a-religiøs teknik. Dette gøres ved hjælp af kriterier inden for autorisation, tekst- og visuelle referencer. Artiklens undersøgelse viser, at mindfulness udbydes som a-religiøs teknik, men hævder samtidigt med udgangspunkt i Hornborg og Durkheim, at selv denne påståede a-religiøsitet kan kaldes religiøs. | [

Strategies to Improve the Quality of Team-Based Care for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome | BACKGROUND Prioritizing nonpharmacologic care for neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) requires a team-based care (TBC) approach to facilitate staff and family engagement. We aimed to identify the important structures and processes of care for TBC of infants with NAS and quality of care outcomes that are meaningful to care team members (including parents). METHODS Using a Donabedian framework, we conducted semistructured interviews from May to October 2019 with care team members at 3 community hospitals, including parents, nurses, social workers, physicians, lactation nurses, child protective services, volunteers, and hospital administrators. We used thematic analysis to identify important structures, processes of care, and outcomes. RESULTS We interviewed 45 interprofessional care team members: 35 providers and 10 parents. Structures critical to providing TBC included (1) building a comprehensive network of interprofessional team members and (2) creating an NAS specialized unit. Necessary processes of care included (1) prioritizing early involvement of interprofessional team members, (2) emphasizing nonjudgmental incorporation of previous experience with addiction, (3) establishing clear roles and expectations, and (4) maintaining transparency with social services. Lastly, we identified 9 outcomes resulting from these identified structures and processes that are meaningful to care team members to assess the quality of care for infants with NAS. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we identify important structures, processes of care, and meaningful outcomes to enhance and evaluate TBC for infants with NAS. Hospitals that adopt and implement these structures and processes have the potential to improve the quality of care for infants, caregivers, and providers who care for these infants. | [
