    Abstract What is known and objective: Prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) is a plasma-derived concentrate used to replenish clotting factors. There are limited recommendations for treating coagulopathy induced by direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC). Data are limited regarding both total dose and repeated dosing with this population.
    Case summary: We describe a case of an adult patient anticoagulated with apixaban who received two 35 unit/kg doses of PCC resulting in suspected pulmonary embolism.
    What is new and conclusion: Treatment of DOAC-induced bleeding remains an "off-label" indication for PCC. Additional doses should be given with caution if given at all and patients monitored closely.

    Abstract Background: The length of stay (LOS) in the hospital for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been declining over recent decades. The purpose of this study was to determine if patients with an LOS for TKA that includes only 1 midnight have an increased odds of 90-day readmission compared with those with a 2-midnight LOS. We also sought to identify any predictors of 90-day hospital readmission among those readmitted during our period of analysis.
    Methods: A retrospective review of the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative (MARCQI) database was performed to identify patients with a 1-midnight or 2-midnight LOS for TKA during a 5-year period. The primary end point of this study was inpatient readmission within the 90-day postoperative period. A multiple logistic regression model and propensity score matching were used to compare the odds of 90-day readmission between 1-midnight and 2-midnight LOS. The secondary end points of this study were 90-day complications.
    Results: There were 96,250 TKA procedures identified in the database, and 46,709 met our inclusion criteria for LOS. No difference in 90-day-readmission odds between patients with a 1-midnight LOS and those with a 2-midnight LOS for primary TKA was identified. Male sex, single marital status, age of ≥80 years, type-I diabetes, previous smoking, narcotic use prior to surgery, and a higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores increased the odds of 90-day readmission. Patients in the age group of ≥50 to <65 years, those with a higher preoperative hemoglobin level, and those with a positive social history of alcohol use were found to have decreased odds of readmission.
    Conclusions: We found no association between the LOS for primary TKA (1 midnight compared with 2 midnights) and the 90-day readmission risk.
    Level of evidence: Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

    Abstract Optimization-based muscle force prediction models of the lumbar region are used in research and ergonomic practice, usually as a subroutine of a job analysis software package. Various optimization criteria have been put forward for use in rationally selecting a set of muscle forces to satisfy moment equilibrium, including the sum of cubed muscle contraction intensities and a double linear programming procedure for minimizing the spinal compression force and maximum muscle contraction intensity. A laboratory study was conducted to determine whether these two model formulations produce significantly different estimates of spinal forces for a dynamic asymmetric lift. Although statistically significant differences were found between the predictions of the two models, the difference in peak spinal compression force was only 1.1%.

    Abstract A small cross-sectional study of upper extremity disorders was conducted in two departments of a pulp and paper mill. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of upper extremity disorders and identify any associated work place risk factors in long cycle jobs with multiple tasks of varying duration. Physical exams and health status interviews were conducted on 23 employees (77%) in the paper machine department and on 17 employees (59%) of the power and recovery department. All participants completed questionnaires on physical and psychosocial job characteristics. There was a statistically significant difference in hand and wrist disorders between the two departments at the p < 0.05 level (34.8% in the power and recovery department, and 5.9% in the paper machine area). Multiple logistic regression models showed a significant relationship between the use of a steel lance and shoulder disorders. Elbow arthritis was also associated with lance usage. There was evidence that the job analysis was not able to fully describe the risk factors present in the paper machine department. Biomechanical exposures existing prior to the time of the study may not have been adequately characterized. An important aspect of this study is that the jobs studied were not typical repetitive jobs that are commonly studied.
