    Abstract Medical social workers are essential members of healthcare teams, especially during a pandemic. Their scope of practice includes conducting psychological assessments, coordinating social services, connecting patients to resources that address social determinants of health, discharge planning, and patient advocacy. Social workers' experiences of psychological distress were unique even before the COVID-19 pandemic; their work demands a high amount of emotional investment as they frequently witness others' pain and suffering and navigate various daily challenges and crises. This study explores psychological distress experienced by medical social workers and the coping strategies used by these professionals during the pandemic prior to the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Faced with conflicting information from state and federal agencies, social workers dealt with resource shortages, took on additional roles and responsibilities, and contended with regular value conflicts and ethical dilemmas. Our findings indicate that medical social workers are not sufficiently protected or prioritized in their workplaces and that infrastructure to support social workers' emotional wellbeing is lacking. Distinct themes that emerged from the data under the umbrella of psychological distress include feeling unprotected, overburdened, and undervalued. We discuss a need for targeted policy and sustainability-oriented solutions to improve coping and resilience, mitigate psychological distress, and prevent burnout among medical social workers.

    Abstract Background: Elliptical shape humeral head prostheses have been recently proposed to reflect a more anatomic shoulder replacement. However, its effect on obligate glenohumeral translation during axial rotation compared to a standard spherical head is still not well understood. The purpose of the study was to compare obligate humeral translation during axial rotation using spherical and elliptical shaped humeral head prostheses. It was hypothesized that the spherical head design would show significantly more obligate translation when compared to the elliptical design.
    Methods: Six fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were utilized for biomechanical testing of internal (IR) and external (ER) rotation at various levels of abduction (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°) with lines of pull along each of the rotator cuff muscles. Each specimen underwent the following three conditions: (1) native; total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) using (2) an elliptical and (3) spherical humeral head implant. Obligate translation during IR and ER was quantified using a 3-dimensional digitizer. The radius of curvature of the superoinferior and anteroposterior dimensions of the implants was calculated across each condition.
    Results: Posterior and inferior translation as well as compound motion of spherical and elliptical heads during ER was similar at all abduction angles (P > 0.05, respectively). Compared to the native humeral head, both implants demonstrated significantly decreased posterior translation at 45° (elliptical: P = 0.003; spherical: P = 0.004) and 60° of abduction (elliptical: P < 0.001; spherical: P < 0.001). During internal rotation at 0° abduction, the spherical head showed significantly more compound motion (P = 0.042) compared to the elliptical head. The spherical implant also demonstrated increased anterior translation and compound motion during internal rotation at 60° abduction (P < 0.001) compared to the resting state. This difference was not significant for the native or elliptical head design at this angle (P > 0.05).
    Conclusion: In the setting of TSA, elliptical and spherical head implants showed similar obligate translation and overall compound motion during axial rotation. A gained understanding of the consequences of implant head shape in TSA may guide future surgical implant choice for better recreation of native shoulder kinematics and potentially improved patient outcomes.

    Abstract Gait generation for soft robots is challenging due to the nonlinear dynamics and high dimensional input spaces of soft actuators. Limitations in soft robotic control and perception force researchers to hand-craft open loop controllers for gait sequences, which is a non-trivial process. Moreover, short soft actuator lifespans and natural variations in actuator behavior limit machine learning techniques to settings that can be learned on the same time scales as robot deployment. Lastly, simulation is not always possible, due to heterogeneity and nonlinearity in soft robotic materials and their dynamics change due to wear. We present a sample-efficient, simulation free, method for self-generating soft robot gaits, using very minimal computation. This technique is demonstrated on a motorized soft robotic quadruped that walks using four legs constructed from 16 "handed shearing auxetic" (HSA) actuators. To manage the dimension of the search space, gaits are composed of two sequential sets of leg motions selected from 7 possible primitives. Pairs of primitives are executed on one leg at a time; we then select the best-performing pair to execute while moving on to subsequent legs. This method -- which uses no simulation, sophisticated computation, or user input -- consistently generates good translation and rotation gaits in as low as 4 minutes of hardware experimentation, outperforming hand-crafted gaits. This is the first demonstration of completely autonomous gait generation in a soft robot.

    Abstract Robots have components that work together to accomplish a task. Colloids are particles, usually less than 100 µm, that are small enough that they do not settle out of solution. Colloidal robots are particles capable of functions such as sensing, computation, communication, locomotion and energy management that are all controlled by the particle itself. Their design and synthesis is an emerging area of interdisciplinary research drawing from materials science, colloid science, self-assembly, robophysics and control theory. Many colloidal robot systems approach synthetic versions of biological cells in autonomy and may find ultimate utility in bringing these specialized functions to previously inaccessible locations. This Perspective examines the emerging literature and highlights certain design principles and strategies towards the realization of colloidal robots.

    Abstract Motivated by the complex and multifactorial etiologies of osteoarthritis, here we use a comprehensive approach evaluating knee joint health after unilateral lower limb loss. Thirty-eight male Service members with traumatic, unilateral lower limb loss (mean age = 38 yr) participated in a prospective, two-year longitudinal study comprehensively evaluating contralateral knee joint health (i.e., clinical imaging, gait biomechanics, physiological biomarkers, and patient-reported outcomes); seventeen subsequently returned for a two-year follow-up visit. For this subset with baseline and follow-up data, outcomes were compared between timepoints, and associations evaluated between values at baseline with two-year changes in tri-compartmental joint space. Upon follow-up, knee joint health worsened, particularly among seven Service members who presented at baseline with no joint degeneration (KL = 0) but returned with evidence of degeneration (KL ≥ 1). Joint space narrowing was associated with greater patellar tilt (r[12] = 0.71, p = 0.01), external knee adduction moment (r[13] = 0.64, p = 0.02), knee adduction moment impulse (r[13] = 0.61, p = 0.03), and CTX-1 concentration (r[11] = 0.83, p = 0.001), as well as lesser KOOS

    Abstract Aim: To review the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of spindle cell lipoma (SCL) with emphasis on the location of these tumours and the spectrum of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) appearances.
    Materials and methods: The MRI and CT findings of 27 histopathologically proven SCLs were evaluated retrospectively. Imaging features evaluated included margins, percentage visible fat, MRI signal characteristics, oedema, and contrast enhancement patterns.
    Results: Patient ages ranged from 18 to 80 years with an average age of 56.5 years. Men were affected twice as frequently as women (M=18, F=9). SCLs ranged in size from 2 to 10 cm, with an average greatest dimension of 5.5 cm. Five lesions (19%) contained no visible fat on CT or MRI, and the leading differential diagnosis of high-grade soft-tissue sarcoma diagnosis was suggested by referring surgeons. Five lesions (19%) had <50% fatty areas, nine lesions (52%) demonstrated >50% but <90% fat at MRI or CT. Only three of 25 lesions (12%) had an appearance of a typical lipoma on unenhanced MRI sequences. All SCLs that were imaged with contrast medium (n = 18) demonstrated some degree of enhancement, with eight (44%) showing marked enhancement, four (22%) showing moderate, and six (33%) minimal enhancement.
    Conclusion: SCLs have considerably variable imaging appearances and may have minimal or no visible fat at MRI or CT. Imaging features may make it difficult to distinguish this benign tumour from a potentially higher-grade malignant tumour.

    Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data on 2346 adults who underwent first-time LT between January 1, 1999 and June 30, 2020 and who had donor DNA samples available at five large Transplant Immunology Laboratories in Texas, USA, were obtained from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). Duplicates, patients with insufficient donor DNA for genotyping, those who were <18 years of age at the time of transplant, had had a previous transplant or had missing genotype data were excluded. The primary outcomes were patient and graft survival after LT. The association between donor genotype and post-LT survival was examined using Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models.
    Findings: Median age of LT recipients was 57 [interquartile range (IQR), 50-62] years; 837 (35.7%) were women; 1362 (58.1%) White, 713 (30.4%) Hispanic, 182 (7.8%) Black/African-American. Median follow-up time was 3.95 years. Post-LT survival was not affected by donor
