    Abstract Significance: Tattoo-associated uveitis describes simultaneous tattoo inflammation and uveitis. Multiple cases exist in the literature related to systemic sarcoidosis or a delayed hypersensitivity reaction; however, there is no consensus on etiology. Clinicians should consider new tattoos as an associated factor for patients presenting with a new uveitis.
    Purpose: In this retrospective review case series, two African American men with simultaneous tattoo inflammation and bilateral anterior uveitis were examined. Systemic sarcoidosis was suspected as the leading differential in both cases; however, laboratory evidence and imaging did not confirm a sarcoidosis diagnosis. Both patients were therefore suspected to have tattoo-associated uveitis.
    Case reports: Acute anterior uveitis was diagnosed in 24- and 42-year-old African American men who presented with bilateral uveitis and inflammation of tattoos received greater than 1 year before the onset of symptoms. One patient presented with granulomatous ocular signs, whereas the other did not. Both patients received skin biopsies of their tattoos confirming noncaseating granulomas. Both patients had unremarkable radiological chest scans and were treated with topical and oral corticosteroids but only had complete inflammatory resolution after removal of their tattoos. After tattoo removal, neither patient experienced recurrent inflammation.
    Conclusions: Simultaneous tattoo granuloma and uveitis is well supported by literature evidence. It is suspected that both patients either had a localized sarcoidosis reaction or had tattoo-associated uveitis due to a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by an unknown antigen in the tattoo ink.

    Abstract Heart failure, which is a clinical syndrome characterized by the heart's inability to maintain adequate cardiac output, is known to affect various organ systems in the body due to its ischemic nature and activation of the systemic immune response, but the resultant complications specifically on the gastrointestinal tract and the liver are not well discussed and poorly understood. Gastrointestinal-related phenomena are common symptoms experienced in patients with heart failure and frequently found to increase morbidity and mortality in these populations. The relationship between the gastrointestinal tract and heart failure are strongly linked and influence each other much so that the bidirectional association of the two is oftentimes referred to as cardiointestinal syndrome. Manifestations include gastrointestinal prodrome, bacterial translocation and protein-losing gastroenteropathy by gut wall edema, cardiac cachexia, hepatic insult and injury, and ischemic colitis. More attention is needed from a cardiology perspective to recognize these common presenting gastrointestinal phenomena that affect much of our patient population with heart failure. In this overview, we describe the association between heart failure and the gastrointestinal tract, the pathophysiology, lab findings, clinical manifestations and complications, and the management involved.

    Abstract A series of failed replications and frauds have raised questions regarding self-correction in science. Metascientific activists have advocated policies that incentivize replications and make them more diagnostically potent. We argue that current debates, as well as research in science and technology studies, have paid little heed to a key dimension of replication practice. Although it sometimes serves a diagnostic function, replication is commonly motivated by a practical desire to extend research interests. The resulting replication, which we label 'integrative', is characterized by a pragmatic flexibility toward protocols. The goal is to appropriate what is useful, not test for truth. Within many experimental cultures, however, integrative replications can produce replications of ambiguous diagnostic power.

    Abstract Background: Cardiac comorbidities are common in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While there is an abundance of research showing an association between cardiac abnormalities and poor postoperative outcomes, relatively little is published on specific pathologies. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of cardiac arrhythmias on postoperative outcomes in the setting of TKA.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all patients undergoing TKA from a national database, from 2016 to 2019. Patients who had cardiac arrhythmias were identified via International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, and Clinical Modification/Procedure Coding System codes and served as the cohort of interest. Multivariate regression was performed to compare postoperative outcomes. Gamma regression was performed to assess length of stay and total charges, while negative binomial regression was used to assess 30-day readmission and reoperation. Patient demographic variables and comorbidities, measured via the Elixhauser comorbidity index, were controlled in our regression analysis. Out of a total of 1,906,670 patients, 224,434 (11.76%) had a diagnosed arrhythmia and were included in our analyses.
    Results: Those who had arrhythmias had greater odds of both medical (odds ratio [OR] 1.52; P < .001) and surgical complications (OR 2.27; P < .001). They also had greater readmission (OR 2.49; P < .001) and reoperation (OR 1.93; P < .001) within 30 days, longer hospital stays (OR 1.07; P < .001), and greater total charges (OR 1.02; P < .001).
    Conclusions: Cardiac arrhythmia is a common comorbidity in the TKA population and is associated with worse postoperative outcomes. Patients who had arrhythmias had greater odds of both medical and surgical complications requiring readmission or reoperation.

    Abstract A proposal for the use of porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) to develop a mouse model of pulmonary emphysema raised concerns about introducing contaminating porcine viruses into our barrier facility. Porcine Circovirus (PCV) is a known contaminant of vaccines and cell cultures that have been exposed to porcine-derived reagents. Endemic infection of PCV3 in laboratory mice has been reported, and some evidence supports natural PCV infection in wild mice. PPE samples from 2 different vendors tested positive for DNA from both PCV2 and 3. To allow model development with these reagents to proceed, we developed a protocol that would meet scientific objectives, minimize exposure of mice, and provide information on the potential for the virus to spread. Five d after BALB/c mice received intralaryngeal administration of PPE, lungs were harvested and analyzed for evidence of disease. Tissues from other major organs were submitted to test for disseminated PCV2 and 3 DNA. Similarly, tissues (including lungs) from direct contact nude sentinel mice were analyzed for the presence of the virus. To evaluate the possibility of endemic PCV2/3 infection, we also surveyed non-porcine reagent exposed mice on other studies. PCV2 and 3 was not detected in any of the tissues submitted. Although this study provided no evidence of infection and transmission of PCV2/3 from the contaminated PPE sample over the 5 d study, further work is needed to understand the risks and impact of introducing PCV contaminated cells or reagents into barrier maintained rodent colonies.

    Abstract This paper probes deeper into the co-movement of Ghana's equity index and exchange rate with international equity markets and further determine whether these co-movements are driven by global uncertainties. Also, we sought to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic alters the dynamics of these relationships. We employ the wavelet technique to data from January 19, 2012 to March 1, 2021 to the split between pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 periods. The results reveal that the dynamics of co-movement or interconnectedness of exchange rate and Ghana Stock Exchange composite index has evolved over time and across frequencies. Besides, the cone of influence, as shown by the wavelet spectrum, does not cover the entire data frequency which suggests that long-term forecast of exchange rate and equity index in Ghana beyond four years could be misleading since significant levels of interdependences are concentrated around the mid-team scales. In addition, we found evidence to support low-medium term lead-lag connections between exchange rate and Ghana Stock Exchange Composite Index in 2013 to 2014 and 2016. Further, the co-movement between exchange rate or Ghana Stock Exchange Composite Index and international equity markets show similarly weak association at all scales. A closer scan of the interdependencies among these variables are more intense during COVID-19 than during the pre-COVID-19 period. Finally, we observe a strong co-movement between the rise in COVID-19 cases and exchange rate at higher frequency scales where exchange rate lags Ghana's equity index and they are out-of-phase.

    Abstract Introduction: Due to usability, feasibility, and acceptability concerns, observational treatment fidelity measures are often challenging to deploy in schools. Teacher self-report fidelity measures with specific design features might address some of these barriers. This case study outlines a community-engaged, iterative process to adapt the observational Treatment Integrity for Elementary Settings (TIES-O) to a teacher self-report version designed to assess the use of practices to support children's social-emotional competencies in elementary classrooms.
    Method: Cognitive walkthrough interviews were conducted with teachers to improve the usability of the teacher self-report measure, called the Treatment Integrity for Elementary Schools-Teacher Report (TIES-T). Qualitative content analysis was used to extract themes from the interviews and inform changes to the measure.
    Results: Increasing clarity and interactive elements in the measure training were the dominant themes, but suggestions for the measure format and jargon were also suggested.
    Conclusion: The suggested changes resulted in a brief measure, training, and feedback system designed to support the teacher's use of practices to support children's social-emotional competencies in elementary classrooms. Future research with the TIES-T will examine the score reliability and validity of the measure.

    Abstract Introduction: Virtual care utilization has increased in recent years bringing questions of how to best inform patients regarding their use. Decision aids (DAs) are tools created to assist patients in making informed decisions about their health care. This study seeks to determine whether a DA or previous experience could better educate and influence patient's preference on virtual care.
    Methods: One hundred fifty participants from an orthopedic clinic of a multi-hospital system were divided into three groups. Group 1 (Virtual Care Cohort) had at least one previous virtual care visit and was surveyed with the Telemedicine Satisfaction Questionnaire (TSQ). Group 2 (In-person with Decision Aid) and Group 3 (In-person without Decision Aid) had no virtual care experience. Group 2 received a validated virtual care DA with a knowledge test. Both groups were also administered the TSQ.
    Results: After the DA, patients improved their score on 3 of 4 virtual care knowledge questions. Each cohort demonstrated a positive perception of virtual care; however, the specific reasons for their favorable views varied. The DA cohort did not show increased preference toward virtual care compared with the non-DA group and only responded significantly higher regarding encounter comfort. Patients with previous experience in virtual care responded most favorably to the majority of survey questions regarding their virtual care preferences when compared with both virtual care naive cohorts.
    Discussion and conclusion: We found that patient experience was the most important factor in influencing patient preference toward virtual care. Although the DA increased their virtual care knowledge it did not increase their preference; therefore, efforts should be placed at encouraging patient to experience virtual care.
