    Abstract Viral modernity is a concept based upon the nature of viruses, the ancient and critical role they play in evolution and culture, and their basic application to understanding the role of information and forms of bioinformation in the social world. The concept draws a close association between viral biology on the one hand and information science on the other to understand ‘viral’ technologies, conspiracy theories and the nature of post-truth. The COVID-19 pandemic is a major occurrence and mom...

    Abstract Background: Same-day discharge (SDD) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is safe and cost effective. However, benefits may be offset by the potential cost of emergency department (ED) visits and readmissions. We identified risk factors for return to the ED and readmission in patients who underwent SDD and inpatient (IP) stays after TJA.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent primary TJA at an academic institution over the course of one year. There were 1,708 consecutive TJAs (721 THA [total hip arthroplasty] and 987 TKA [total knee arthroplasty]) included. A SDD occurred after 1,199 (70%) TJAs, 523 THAs, and 676 TKAs. We compared the demographics and comorbidities of patients who have SDD or IP who stayed following TJA. We documented rates of return to the ED or readmission within 90 days of surgery. Cohorts were compared using the Student's t-test or Chi-square test. Significant findings were those with P value < .05.
    Results: The SDD cohort had a significantly higher rate of young, non-White men who had a lower body mass index and fewer comorbidities than the IP cohort. Rates of return to ED and readmission were similar between SDD and IP cohorts after TJA and similar between THA and TKA. Factors that significantly influenced return to ED included a higher American Society of Anaesthesiologists score (SDD, IP), a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index score (SDD, IP), a lower body mass index (IP), and a psychological diagnosis (SDD, IP). Factors that significantly influenced readmission rates included a higher American Society of Anaesthesiologists score (SDD), older age (SDD), and psychological diagnosis (SDD, IP).
    Conclusions: Patients who discharged the same day after primary TJA have similar rates of return to the ED and readmission as those admitted as an IP. Patients who had a psychological diagnosis, and particularly a diagnosis of depression, are at higher risk for return to the ED and readmission after primary TJA, regardless of discharge the same-day or IP admission. Improved measures that attempt to further treat and optimize this patient population could reduce unnecessary postoperative ED visits.

    Abstract Background: Failed stemmed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) components present with varying degrees of bone loss and technical challenges. A classification system has been proposed based upon metaphyseal bone loss and diaphyseal cortical integrity. A validation study was performed to determine interobserver and intraobserver reliability at multiple institutions and with different levels of training.
    Methods: An online survey with digital anteroposterior and lateral radiographs was sent to 5 arthroplasty surgeons and 5 adult reconstruction fellows. The survey included 62 cases with stemmed femoral and tibial components, considered failures and pending revision, and scored by each reviewer independently using the classification system. Each case was scored in 2 separate sessions. Interobserver and intraobserver reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
    Results: Interobserver grading for both the femur (0.69) and tibia (0.72) showed strong reliability among the attendings and fellows, with slightly stronger reliability in tibia cases. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for attendings and fellows was similar overall, demonstrating consistency of the grading regardless of training level. Intraobserver comparisons showed a strong ICC for attendings and fellows in femoral cases, while fellows had near-perfect ICC in tibia cases. Across all reviewers there was on average 93% agreement within 1 grade per case with the majority of the discrepancy occurring at the metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction.
    Conclusion: This classification demonstrated overall strong interobserver and intraobserver reliability, with 93% agreement within 1 grade of bone loss. With further education, this classification system can ultimately be used to standardize the degree of bone loss in failed stemmed components and help with preoperative planning.

    Abstract In the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a lack of guidance on how to channel the unprecedented amount of health financing toward the pandemic response. We employed a multistep, interactive Delphi process to reach consensus on a "menu" of priority COVID-19 response interventions. In all, 27 health security experts-representing national governments, bilateral and multilateral organizations, academia, technical agencies, and nongovernmental organizations-participated in the exercise. The experts rated 11 technical investment areas and 37 interventions on a 5-point scale in terms of their importance to COVID-19 response. Initial findings were discussed at a virtual meeting where experts suggested modifications. A group of 19 experts then rated a revised list of 11 technical areas and 39 interventions. Consensus was defined as at least 80% of experts agreeing on the importance of a technical area or intervention; stability of scores across the rounds was identified using Wilcoxon matched-pairs and unpaired signed rank tests. Between the initial and final menu, 3 technical areas and 7 interventions were slightly modified, 3 interventions were added, and 1 intervention was removed. Consensus was reached on all 11 technical areas and 35 of the final 39 interventions, and between 34 and 37 interventions were stable across rounds depending on the test used. In this exercise, the health security experts agreed that COVID-19 response financing should prioritize interventions that enhance a country's capacity to test, trace, and treat high-risk populations. Simultaneously, supportive systems (eg, risk communication, community engagement, public health infrastructure, information systems, policy and coordination, workforce capacity, other social protections) should be developed to ensure that nonpharmaceutical and medical interventions can maximize the effectiveness of these systems.

    Abstract Background: Measurement of glomerular filtration rate from a single blood sample using filtration markers may be based on empirical or model-based formulae. The former do not require a whole body metric but are sample time-inflexible. The latter include time as a continuous variable but require a whole body metric to estimate extracellular fluid volume. This study describes a new empirical method that is time-flexible and requires no whole body metric.
    Methods: Data comprise 982 slope-intercept glomerular filtration rate measurements from a single institution in which the correlation coefficient of the three-sample fit was ≥0.999. In 582 measurements, samples were taken at 118-122, 144-148, 178-182, 202-206 or 238-242 minutes. Within each of these five sample time groups, slope, k(t), of the regression of apparent volume of distribution (Vt) against slope-intercept glomerular filtration rate was recorded following exclusion of outliers. The five sampling times correlated closely and exponentially with k(t) (=5.4.e), allowing calculation of k(t) for any sampling time. In a further 341 measurements, glomerular filtration rate from a single blood sample was calculated as [k(t).V(t)] and compared with slope-intercept glomerular filtration rate. Sample time for glomerular filtration rate from a single blood sample is critical, so the most appropriately timed sample was chosen according to slope-intercept glomerular filtration rate/1.73 m.
    Results: The current method compared favourably with three previously published model-based methods (Fleming et al., Jacobsson and Gref and Karp), showing better precision, and unlike the other three, no correlation between difference and average on Bland-Altman analysis.
    Conclusion: This completely time-flexible, empirically-derived approach to glomerular filtration rate from a single blood sample requires no whole body metric, is simple, equally applicable to children and adults and superior to three model-based methods.
