    Abstract This volume highlights writing development and its relation to other cognitive domains, such as language and reading, for individuals who struggle to acquire writing proficiency, including those with specific learning disorders (SLD; e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia, and specific language impairment) which affect writing skills (e.g., handwriting, composition). Writing and writing development are presented from a transnational perspective with an integrated focus on conceptualizing writing as a developmental process

    Abstract In wet environments a portion of ambient inorganic mercury (Hg) is transformed to methylmercury (MeHg); a neurotoxin that readily concentrates in fish. Public health entities monitor Hg levels in fish to inform consumers of the types and amounts of fish that are safe to eat. In this study, monitoring data collected from stream and lakes across Kansas were used to summarize fillet tissue total mercury (THg = MeHg + Hg) levels in 36 fish species and hybrids. Data associated with eleven food fish taxa (genus and species) were presented in detail and statewide risk-based monthly safe consumption limits (SCLs) protective of Hg sensitive individuals were calculated, including two size categories (< or ≥ 508 mm) for larger growing taxa. Linear mixed effects models (LMEMs) were used to generate least squares (LS) mean fish THg values for between habitat (lakes and streams) and within habitat (waterbody size, ecoregion, and major river basin) categorical variables, and for individual sample sites. Sample site LS means were used to identify potential fish THg hotspots among lakes (LS means ≥ 90ᵗʰ percentile) and streams (Getis-Ord Gi* statistic). Across all samples (n = 2,106) a more than 200-fold difference existed between the highest (2.1 mg/kg) and lowest THg (0.01 mg/kg) concentrations, but most samples were below the Kansas Department of Health and Environment's (KDHE) human health screening level (HSL) (0.23 mg/kg). Statewide safe consumption limits ranged from 1 meal/month in ≥ 508 mm flathead catfish to 8 meals/mo. in crappie spp. Least squares mean fish THg was significantly higher in streams than lakes, and significantly higher in small lakes (< 10 surface acres) than larger lakes. Stream size did not affect fish THg levels. In both lakes and streams, ecoregion and major river basin significantly affected fish THg levels with higher levels more prevalent in eastern geographic areas. Lakes identified as potential fish THg hotspots were widely distributed throughout the study area, but all stream hotspot sites were clustered in the southeast portion of the state.

    Abstract The presence of gas and free air in the extraluminal space of the intestines is known as pneumatosis intestinalis (PI). There are many different causes of this finding, including gastrointestinal, pulmonary, autoimmune, and many more. It is often difficult to differentiate the etiology and clinical importance of the radiographic evidence on pneumatosis intestinalis due to the unclear pathophysiology causing the disease. To complicate things further, the ominous sign of portal venous gas poses the question of whether surgical intervention is needed. We report two cases both with clinical and radiographic evidence of secondary pneumatosis intestinalis with an associated sinister finding of portal venous gas. The cases differ by urgent surgical intervention versus observation before surgery. In this case series, we emphasize the importance of recognizing the radiographic finding and stress the need for further research to standardize a plan of care, including indications for surgery. We encourage more cases like this to be reported to aid in diagnosing and treating this condition early on with the aim of improving the mortality associated with it.

    Abstract Percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement is typically performed under moderate sedation. However, some patients are not ideal candidates for moderate sedation because of respiratory compromise, difficult airways, or other factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate regional anesthesia as an alternative to moderate sedation. A retrospective review of patients who underwent percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement between March 2014 and September 2020 was performed. Data on patient demographics, anesthesia type, pain scores, and opiate usage were collected. A total of 189 patients were included in the study; 35 (18.5%) received regional anesthesia and 154 received moderate sedation. Patients in the regional anesthesia group tolerated the procedure well, with lower mean immediate postprocedural and maximal pain scores of 0.7 vs 2.2 (P = .011) and 4.3 vs 6.5 (P = .003), respectively. Regional anesthesia is effective at controlling perioperative pain and is an alternative with a low complication rate for patients who cannot tolerate moderate sedation.

    Abstract Background: Wildfire mitigation is becoming increasingly urgent, but despite the availability of mitigation tools, such as prescribed fire, managed wildfire, and mechanical thinning, the USA has been unable to scale up mitigation. Limited agency capacity, inability to work across jurisdictions, lack of public support, and procedural delays have all been cited as barriers to mitigation. But in the context of limited resources and increasing urgency, how should agencies prioritize investments to address these barriers?
    Results: To better understand different investments for scaling up mitigation, we examined how the wildfire problem is framed, building on existing social science demonstrating that agency approaches depend in part on how problems are framed. Using national-level policy documents and in-depth interviews, we found three ways of framing the barriers to scaling up mitigation, each emphasizing certain aspects of the problem and prioritizing different solutions or investments. The first framing, the
    Conclusions: This analysis reveals that investing in collaborative capacity to advance agency-agency partnerships and public engagement might not slow down mitigation, but rather enable agencies to "go slow to go fast" by building the support and mechanisms necessary to increase the pace and scale of mitigation work. Reframing the wildfire problem through a careful analysis of competing frames and the underlying assumptions that privilege particular solutions can reveal a broader suite of solutions that address the range of key barriers.

    Abstract Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome is a rare abnormality comprising a series of symptoms that make up a syndrome. It usually happens during pregnancy or right after delivery. We describe a case of a 31-year-old female G4P2A2 (Gravida 4 Para 2 Abortions 2) who presented to the hospital for normal vaginal delivery but immediately postpartum developed HELLP syndrome. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy was a differential that the patient also met the criteria for. Her condition improved after starting her on plasmapheresis without considering hepatic transplantation. We emphasize distinguishing the overlap of symptoms between HELLP syndrome vs. acute fatty liver of pregnancy and the outcomes of plasmapheresis in managing HELLP syndrome without needing hepatic transplantation.

    Abstract Esophageal cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Metachronous malignancies refer to multiple independent primary cancers diagnosed at least 6 months apart. The incidence of metachronous esophageal cancers with different histologic subtypes is extremely rare. This case presents an unprecedented occurrence of esophageal adenocarcinoma, followed by metachronous squamous cell carcinoma.

    Abstract Drug-induced liver injury is a serious adverse drug reaction that can result in acute liver injury or cholestatic injury affecting the bile ducts, known as cholangiopathic liver injury (CLI). Although CLI is not as familiar as the hepatocellular pattern, emerging evidence suggests that it may occur after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. This case report focuses on an 89-year-old woman who developed CLI after receiving the tozinameran COVID-19 vaccine. The main aim of this report was to raise awareness of the possibility of developing CLI after COVID-19 vaccination and to underscore the critical significance of promptly identifying and managing this infrequent but severe side effect.
