    Abstract There are two models used in the literature to describe those who are d/Deaf: the medical and the cultural models. The medical model describes deafness as an unwanted disability that needs to be treated through the use of medical devices like cochlear implants (CIs). The cultural model describes the word "Deaf" (written with a capital) as a culture and membership of the Deaf community as a privilege. It also places emphasis on the importance of sign language in Deaf culture. Historically, the Deaf community has been opposed to cochlear implantation in children, but little is known about current attitudes, or the attitudes of the Deaf community in New Zealand. This research used an online questionnaire to ask deaf, hard-of-hearing (HoH) and culturally Deaf people in New Zealand about their views on paediatric cochlear implants. Culturally Deaf respondents were compared to those who were not. The study's findings were mixed, suggesting that there are still reservations about the benefits of CIs for children born deaf. It identified key areas for consideration: a bilingual/bicultural approach to CI habilitation in children, and the need to fully inform parents of all of their options. The study also highlighted the multitude of cultural and non-cultural factors that need to be considered in both the decision-making and habilitation processes for treatment of a deaf child. An understanding of how the Deaf community's perspective differs from that of health professions in New Zealand is important in considering what is best for deaf children.

    Abstract Aims: This paper explores Black women's perspectives on bladder health using a social-ecological conceptual framework and life course perspective.
    Methods: We conducted a directed content analysis of data from the Study of Habits, Attitudes, Realities, and Experiences (SHARE), a focus group study by the Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium. Analysis was conducted on data from five focus groups and a member-checking session where all participants self-identified as Black or African American.
    Results: Forty-two participants aged 11-14 or 45+ years reported life course experiences with their bladder. The intersection of race and gender was the lens through which participants viewed bladder health. Participants' accounts of their perspectives on bladder health explicitly and implicitly revealed structural racism as an explanatory overarching theme. Participants described (a) historically-rooted and still pervasive practices of discrimination and segregation, engendering inequitable access to quality medical care and public facilities, (b) institutional barriers to toileting autonomy in educational and occupational settings, promoting unhealthy voiding habits, (c) internalized expectations of Black women's stereotyped role as family caregiver, compromising caregiver health, (d) lack of reliable information on bladder health, leading to unhealthy bladder behaviors, and (e) potentially stress-related comorbid chronic conditions and associated medication use, causing or exacerbating bladder problems.
    Conclusions: Bladder health promotion interventions should address social-ecological and life course factors shaping Black women's bladder health, including social and structural barriers to accessing equitable health information and medical care.

    Abstract We report the synthesis of a series of symmetrical lipids composed of dihydroxyacetone and even‑carbon fatty acids (eight to sixteen carbons), both components of the human metabolome, and characterize their formulation into porous microparticles through spontaneous emulsification without the use of additional porogens. Lipid hydrolysis products were identified by ¹H NMR to validate lipid degradation into the parent metabolic synthons. Microparticle architecture, as determined by scanning electron microscopy, was lipid-length dependent, with shorter alkyl chains forming tight structures and longer alkyl chains forming larger pores with plate-like lipid architectures. In all cases, the lipids formed organized patterns, not irregular shapes. As a demonstration of the potential use of these solid lipid-based microparticles, the release kinetics of a model drug (piroxicam) was quantified showing that release was more greatly influenced by microparticle porosity, and hence surface area, than by hydrophobicity of the lipids.

    Abstract Background: The false profile radiograph assesses acetabular coverage in prearthritic hip conditions. Precise rotation of this radiograph is difficult to obtain, so the clinician must interpret radiographs with nonstandard pelvic rotation or tilt, despite limited evidence of how this may affect the anterior center edge angle measurement.
    Questions/purposes: (1) Does pelvic rotation alter the measurement of the anterior center edge angle on false profile views? (2) Does pelvic tilt alter the measurement of the anterior center edge angle on false profile views? (3) Is there an objective way to assess appropriate pelvic rotation for the false profile view?
    Methods: Eight cadaver hips (four female, four male; one hip randomly selected per pelvis) were included in the study. Hips with degenerative changes, evidence of previous fracture or trauma, or previous surgical intervention were excluded. Specimens were between 68 to 92 years of age (median, 76 years). The specimens were fixed to a custom jig, and radiographs were taken at 5° intervals of rotation (45-85°) and 5° intervals of pelvic tilt (+10° to -10°). The primary outcome variable, anterior center edge angle, was measured for each rotation and tilt.
    Results: Every degree increase in pelvic rotation toward a true lateral resulted in 0.18° increase in the anterior center edge angle (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.07-0.29; p = 0.002). For every degree increase in pelvic tilt, the anterior center edge angle increased 0.65° (95% CI, 0.5-0.8; p < 0.001). We verified that standard pelvic rotation of 65° for a false profile radiograph was present when the space between the femoral heads is 66% to 100% of the diameter of the femoral head being imaged.
    Conclusions: This study shows that the anterior center edge angle increases as pelvic tilt increases, with a 6° increase in anterior center edge angle for each 10° increase in pelvic tilt. Since the false profile radiograph is obtained standing, the patient should be counseled to avoid adopting a forced posture, ensuring the radiograph remains an accurate functional representation of the patient's anatomy. In contrast, pelvic rotation did not influence the anterior center edge angle by an important margin, and while we recommend that radiographs continue to be obtained with standardized pelvic rotation, aberrant pelvic rotation will likely not result in a clinically meaningful difference in anterior center edge angle measurements. In the future, studies to identify the specific regions of acetabular anatomy that constitute the radiographic measurement of the anterior center edge angle would enhance current understanding of the associated radiographic anatomy, and consequently improve the ability of the surgeon to treat the specific area of pathology.
    Clinical relevance: In practice, the clinician should pay close attention to pelvic tilt, as a 10° change in tilt may cause 6° of change in the anterior center edge angle. However, false profile radiographs obtained within ± 20° of the targeted 65° of rotation will result in less than 4° change in the anterior center edge angle.

    Abstract Objectives: To correlate domains of the Orthopaedic Trauma Association Open Fracture Classification (OTA-OFC) in open upper extremity injuries with type of definitive soft-tissue closure, complication rates, and unanticipated return to the operating room for complication.
    Design: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data.
    Setting: Level I trauma center.
    Patients: Two hundred thirty-four consecutive open upper extremity fractures.
    Intervention: Operative management of open upper extremity fractures.
    Main outcome measurements: Type of definitive closure, 90-day wound complication, and wound complication necessitating return to the operating room.
    Results: Two hundred eighty injuries were identified, and 234 had sufficient data for analysis. Eighty-four percent (196/234) of open wounds were closed primarily, 7% (16/234) required a skin graft, and 4% (9/234) required rotational or free flap. Thirteen percent (22/166) of those followed for 90 days had a wound complication, and 50% of those with complication required a return to the OR. All OTA-OFC classifications statistically significantly correlated with type of closure (P < 0.001), with skin having a high correlation (r = 0.79), muscle (r = 0.49) and contamination (r = 0.47) moderate correlations, and arterial (r = 0.32) and bone loss (r = 0.33) low correlations. OTA-OFC muscle classification was predictive of 90-day wound complication (OR 0.31, 95% confidence interval 0.07-0.21). OTA-OFC domains correlated variably with return to the OR.
    Conclusion: OTA-OFC clinically correlates with definitive wound management and 90-day wound complication in open upper extremity fractures. OTA-OFC skin classification has a high correlation with the type of definitive wound closure. OTA-OFC muscle was the only domain that correlated with 90-day wound complication and was predictive of 90-day wound complication.
    Level of evidence: Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
