| Abstract | Background: Joint range of motion (ROM) is an important assessment to aid diagnostic and clinical decision-making for persons with a wide variety of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. The current clinical standard for assessing ROM is the standard goniometer (SG). Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity, reliability and time required to assess ROM using a standard goniometer (SG), medical inclinometer (MI), and builder's digital inclinometer (BI). Study design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Fifty participants with no current shoulder, elbow, or forearm pain limiting movement were assessed by a single tester. The tester measured three repetitions of passive forearm and shoulder rotation with an SG, MI, and BI. Device order was randomized. Time to complete assessment with each device was measured. Results: BI and MI were significantly faster than the SG (p < 0.001) for all motions. Inclinometer measurements were more reliable (average ICC = 0.933 for MI and 0.919 for BI) than SG measurements (average ICC = 0.822). There was good correlation between MI and BI and mean differences between devices was less than 2°. Correlations between the SG and the inclinometers ranged from poor to fair and mean differences between devices was 4°. Conclusion: The BI and MI were reliable for measuring forearm and shoulder rotation. The poor correlation between the SG and inclinometers indicates that clinicians should utilize the same device for testing. Because time can be a barrier to clinician assessment, the greater efficiency and reliability of inclinometers warrants consideration as the new measurement standard. Standard patient and inclinometer positioning is recommended to enhance reliability. Level of evidence: 2©The Author(s). |

| Abstract | Purpose of review: To review what is currently known about the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of acute rejection (AR) in lung transplantation. Recent findings: Epigenomic and transcriptomic methods are gaining traction as tools for earlier detection of AR, which still remains primarily a histopathologic diagnosis. Summary: Acute rejection is a common cause of early posttransplant lung graft dysfunction and increases the risk of chronic rejection. Detection and diagnosis of AR is primarily based on histopathology, but noninvasive molecular methods are undergoing investigation. Two subtypes of AR exist: acute cellular rejection (ACR) and antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). Both can have varied clinical presentation, ranging from asymptomatic to fulminant ARDS, and can present simultaneously. Diagnosis of ACR requires transbronchial biopsy; AMR requires the additional measuring of circulating donor-specific antibody (DSA) levels. First-line treatment in ACR is increased immunosuppression (pulse-dose or tapered dose glucocorticoids); refractory cases may need antibody-based lymphodepletion therapy. First line treatment in AMR focuses on circulating DSA removal with B and plasma cell depletion; plasmapheresis, intravenous human immunoglobulin (IVIG), bortezomib, and rituximab are often employed. |

| Abstract | Dairy farmers do not recoup the rearing costs incurred from birth to first calving until second lactation but varying proportions of first lactation cows are removed from the herd before second calving. Herein, we used milk recording data to examine the outcomes and performance of first lactation cows to gain insight into farmer decisions to keep or remove them from the herd. An InterHerd+ dataset derived from 500 milk recording dairy herds in UK was used to examine first lactation cows which calved in 2020. Of 29,128 first lactation cows that calved in 2020, 82.6% remained within the herd and re-calved, 4.9% conceived but exited the herd before re-calving, 6.0% were served but exited the herd after failing to conceive and 6.6% exited the herd without being served. The fertility data on these cows support the logical conclusion that farmers retain cows that are served and conceive sooner, possibly in order to keep within a broadly seasonal calving pattern. Cows which were served but not conceived had a median AFC 16-20 days greater than the median AFC for those that conceived. Farmers may also be retaining cows with relatively high milk yields and lower somatic cell counts, or these parameters may be an indicator of a range of attributes affecting the farmer's decision. The data also suggest that farmers are rearing more replacements than required, because over one third of the cows removed in first lactation are never served, and 70% of these are sold within 120 days post-partum. These cows had a significantly older median age at first calving of 818 days, but their early removal without serving suggests there is an oversupply of replacements forcing farmers to dispose of these cows early in lactation. In order to develop a deeper understanding of herd turnover and replacement, future work could examine cow removals in lactation 2 onwards. |

| Abstract | This retrospective chart review examined care coordination among pediatric patients with varying levels of medical complexity who received care in a rural-urban health system. Care coordination utilization across patient acuity levels was examined for meaningful differences in frequency and duration of care coordination services. Results indicated that patients with more severe medical complexity had increased frequency and duration of care coordination services, as well as different patterns of care coordination activity utilization. This model of pediatric outpatient care coordination provides a flexible and highly targeted approach for stratification of care and services based on the needs of the individual patient. |

| Abstract | Children and youth with special health care needs often undergo a higher frequency of sedated procedures, increasing their risk for complications, prolonged hospitalizations, as well as increased time and cost burdens. By consolidating multiple procedures requiring anesthetic sedation, the risk and cost can be reduced for both families and health care systems. In this paper, we discuss an innovative model to coordinate procedures across internal and external providers to improve quality of care for this vulnerable patient population. Although preliminary, our findings suggest this approach may be beneficial to both the patient, family, and health system. |

| Abstract | This field observational study describes the seasonal pattern of small lungworm infections under different grazing managements from August 2018 to March 2019. Live weight, lungworm and gastrointestinal nematode infection, as well as pasture type grazed and snail density, were measured at 5 farm visits. Across all visits and mobs, about one quarter to one half of sheep were positive for small lungworm, although prevalence was as low as 0% and as high as 78%. The density of the intermediate host molluscs was greater than 1600 snails/m² in irrigated perennial lucerne pasture when it was grazed (‘Pasture A’), but was low (<300) in non‐irrigated perennial pasture (‘Pasture B’) and non‐irrigated forage crop (‘Pasture C’). Overall, non‐infected lambs had a similar live weight compared with the small lungworm infected lambs (mean difference −0.6 kg; 95% CI −1.6 to 0.2; P = 0.1). The odds ratio of small lungworm infection associated with a twofold increase in worm egg count was 1.7 (95% CI 1.1 to 2.7; P = 0.02). Rather than a distinct seasonal pattern of infection, we found that small lungworm can occur throughout the year, with prevalence most influenced by pasture type (irrigated vs dryland), grazing management and the population density of the intermediate hosts. Importantly, this study suggested that small lungworm infection did not reduce lamb live weights. It reinforced that to improve sheep productivity, well‐established determinants of production, such as correct grazing management to optimise pasture quality and strategies to reduce infections with gastrointestinal nematodes, should be the priority of farm managers. |

| Abstract | Fertility preferences have long played a key role in models of fertility differentials and change. We examine the stability of preferences over time using rich panel data on Kenyan women's fertility desires, expectations, actual fertility, and recall of desires in three waves over a nine-year period, when respondents were in their 20s. We find that although desired fertility is quite unstable, most women perceive their desires to be stable. Under hypothetical future scenarios, few expect their desired fertility to increase over time but, in fact, such increases in fertility desires are common. Moreover, when asked to recall past desires, most respondents report previously wanting exactly as many children as they desire today. These patterns of bias are consistent with the emerging view that fertility desires are contextual, emotionally laden, and structured by identity. |
