    Abstract We propose a design for an efficient spin-photon interface to a color center in a diamond microdisk. The design consists of a silicon oxynitride triangular lattice overlaid on a diamond microdisk without any aligmnent between the layers. This enables vertical emission from the microdisk into low-numerical aperture modes, with quantum efficiencies as high as 46% for a tin vacancy (SnV) center. Our design is robust to manufacturing errors, potentially enabling large scale fabrication of quantum emitters coupled to optical collection modes. We also introduce a novel approach for optimizing the free space performance of our device using a dipole model, achieving comparable results to full-wave finite difference time domain simulations with 7 · 10

    Abstract Background: Valgus knee deformity is observed in nearly 10% of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The degree of polyethylene constraint required to balance a valgus knee remains controversial, and historically, posterior-stabilized (PS) designs have been favored. This study evaluated the survivorship of TKA done in valgus knees based on implant design and specifically compared posterior-stabilized (PS) and ultracongruent (UC) liners.
    Methods: A total of 549 primary TKAs performed on valgus knees by fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons from 2013 to 2019 were reviewed. Demographics, comorbidities, degrees of preoperative deformity, implants used, and all-cause revisions until final follow-up were recorded. Cox regression analyses evaluated survival to all-cause revision in each cohort. The mean follow-up was 4.9 years (range, 2 to 9).
    Results: There were 403 UC liners compared to 146 PS liners. There was no difference in patient age (68 versus 67 years; P = .30), body mass index (30.9 versus 30.4; P = .36), or degree of deformity (8.6 versus 8.8 degrees; P = .75) between the cohorts. At final follow-up, there were 5 revisions in the PS cohort (3.4%) versus 11 revisions in the UC cohort (2.7%) (P = .90). The most common reason for revision in both cohorts was periprosthetic joint infection (4 PS; 8 UC). Multivariable regression analyses controlling for age, body mass index, Elixhauser comorbidity score, sex, and degree of deformity demonstrated UC polyethylene liners were not associated with revision (hazard ratio 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.26 to 2.21; P = .62). There was no difference in eight-year survivorship to all-cause revision, including aseptic and septic failure.
    Conclusions: Alternative polyethylene liners from the historically utilized PS liners for TKA for valgus deformity did not reduce survivorship. With modern polyethylene designs, UC inserts can be utilized for this deformity without increasing the risk of failure.

    Abstract Background: The clinical impact of the surgical approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been widely reviewed. This study evaluated the total encounter and 90-day costs of THA for 2 surgical approaches (posterior [P] and direct anterior [DA]) in 1 tertiary health system.
    Methods: This is a retrospective review of 2,101 THAs (1,092 P and 1,009 DA) by 4 surgeons (2 with the highest volume of DA and P, respectively) from 2017 to 2022 at 1 academic center. Demographics, comorbidities, operative time, length of hospital stay, 90-day hospital returns, and complications were compared. The total encounter cost and 90-day postoperative cost were itemized. Multivariable regression analyses evaluated associations with increased cost at each time point.
    Results: The DA cohort had a higher median encounter cost ($8,348.66 versus 7,332.42, P < .01), resulting from higher intraoperative (P < .01) and radiology (P < .01) expenses. Regression analyses demonstrated the DA was independently associated with increased encounter costs (odds ratio 1.1; 95% confidence interval 1.1 to 1.1; P < .01). There was a higher incidence of 90-day emergency department visits in the DA cohort (16 versus 12%, P = .02), with a trend toward increased readmissions. There was no difference in 90-day reoperations. Median 90-day cost was higher in the DA cohort ($126.99 versus 0.00, P < .01), and regression analyses demonstrated the DA had an association with increased 90-day cost (odds ratio 2.2; 95% confidence interval 1.5 to 3.0; P < .01).
    Conclusions: Despite a younger patient population, the DA was independently associated with increased encounter and 90-day costs in a single academic hospital system. This study may underestimate the cost difference, as capital costs such as specialized tables were not analyzed.

    Abstract Background: This study evaluated blood glucose (BG), creatinine levels, metabolic issues, length of stay (LOS), and early postoperative complications in diabetic primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. It examined those who continued home oral antidiabetic medications and those who switched to insulin postoperatively. The hypothesis was that continuing home medications would lead to lower BG levels without metabolic abnormalities.
    Methods: Patients who had diabetes who underwent primary TKA from 2013 to 2022 were evaluated retrospectively. Diabetic patients who were not on home oral antidiabetic medications or who were not managed as an inpatient postoperatively were excluded. Patient demographics and laboratory tests collected preoperatively and postoperatively as well as 90-day emergency department visits and 90-day readmissions, were pulled from electronic records. Patients were grouped based on inpatient diabetes management: continuation of home medications versus new insulin coverage. Acute postoperative BG control, creatinine levels, metabolic abnormalities, LOS, and early postoperative complications were compared between groups. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to measure associations.
    Results: A total of 867 primary TKAs were assessed; 703 (81.1%) patients continued their home oral antidiabetic medications. Continuing home antidiabetic medications demonstrated lower median maximum inpatient BG (180.0 mg/dL versus 250.0 mg/dL; P < .001) and median average inpatient BG (136.7 mg/dL versus 173.7 mg/dL; P < .001). Logistic regression analyses supported the presence of an association (odds ratio = 17.88 [8.66, 43.43]; P < .001). Proportions of acute kidney injury (13.5 versus 26.7%; P < .001) were also lower. There was no difference in relative proportions of metabolic acidosis (4.4 versus 3.7%; P = .831), LOS (2.0 versus 2.0 days; P = .259), or early postoperative complications.
    Conclusions: Continuing home oral antidiabetic medications after primary TKA was associated with lower BG levels without an associated worsening creatinine or increase in metabolic acidosis.

    Abstract A total of 1,170 pigs (PIC 800 × PIC, initially 38.6 kg) were used in a 98-d grow-finish study to determine the performance response of pigs fed increasing levels standardized ileal digestible (SID) Trp:Lys ratio in diets containing 40% dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). Five dietary treatments were fed and consisted of a corn-soybean meal (SBM) diet or diets containing 40% DDGS with SID Trp:Lys ratios of 15%, 18%, 21%, or 24%. Each treatment was replicated 9 times and pens contained 26 pigs with the equal number of gilts and barrows. Data was analyzed as a randomized complete block design with previous nursery treatment as a random blocking factor. Pair-wise comparisons were used to evaluate the impact of diets on performance and carcass traits; specifically to compare the corn-SBM dietary treatment against other dietary treatments. Single degree of freedom orthogonal polynomials were used to evaluate the dose-response of increasing the SID Trp:Lys ratio in 40% DDGS diets. Increasing the SID Trp:Lys ratio in diets containing 40% DDGS increased (linear, P ≤ 0.02) average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), final body weight (BW), hot carcass weight (HCW), carcass gain, and daily carcass gain. Increasing the SID Trp:Lys ratio in 40% DDGS diets did not impact (P ≥ 0.65) gain to feed (G:F) for the cumulative period. Pigs fed the corn-SBM diet had greater (P ≤ 0.01) ADG and a heavier (P ≤ 0.01) final BW compared to pigs fed 40% DDGS diets, regardless of the SID Trp:Lys ratio. Diets that contained 40% DDGS with a SID Trp:Lys ratio of 24% had no difference (P|t| = 0.25) in ADFI compared to the corn-SBM dietary treatment. The cumulative G:F of pigs did not differ (P = 0.32) between pigs fed corn-SBM diets and diets containing 40% DDGS regardless of the SID Trp:Lys ratio. However, pigs receiving the corn-SBM diets had heavier HCW, greater carcass yields, total carcass gain, and daily carcass gain (P < 0.01) compared to pigs fed the 40% DDGS diets regardless of SID Trp:Lys ratio. In conclusion, increasing the SID Trp:Lys ratio in 40% DDGS diets improved ADG and ADFI for the overall grow-finish period. However, when compared to a corn-SBM diet, increasing the SID Trp:Lys ratio in 40% DDGS diets did not correct the growth performance or carcass characteristics of pigs.
