    Abstract Dense polymer membranes enable a diverse range of separations and clean energy technologies, including gas separation, water treatment, and renewable fuel production or conversion. The transport of small molecular and ionic solutes in the majority of these membranes is described by the same solution-diffusion mechanism, yet a comparison of membrane separation performance across applications is rare. A better understanding of how structure-property relationships and driving forces compare among applications would drive innovation in membrane development by identifying opportunities for cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer. Here, we aim to inspire such cross-pollination by evaluating the selectivity and electrochemical driving forces for 29 separations across nine different applications using a common framework grounded in the physicochemical characteristics of the permeating and rejected solutes. Our analysis shows that highly selective membranes usually exhibit high solute rejection, rather than fast solute permeation, and often exploit contrasts in the size and charge of solutes rather than a nonelectrostatic chemical property, polarizability. We also highlight the power of selective driving forces (e.g., the fact that applied electric potential acts on charged solutes but not on neutral ones) to enable effective separation processes, even when the membrane itself has poor selectivity. We conclude by proposing several research opportunities that are likely to impact multiple areas of membrane science. The high-level perspective of membrane separation across fields presented herein aims to promote cross-pollination and innovation by enabling comparisons of solute transport and driving forces among membrane separation applications.

    Abstract Purpose: Respiratory complications are common following neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) spinal fusion. Concern exists regarding the safety to perform complicated procedures in winter months when viral respiratory illness is common. The purpose of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes in children with NMS undergoing spinal fusion during peak (November-March) or non-peak (April-October) viral season.
    Methods: The Health Care and Utilization Project (HCUP) Kids' inpatient database (KID) from 2006 to 2012 was reviewed. Children 20 years or younger who underwent spinal fusion for NMS were included. Patients were grouped by date of surgery during peak or non-peak viral season. Continuous variables were compared using t tests and categorical variables were compared using the Rao-Scott Chi-square test. Weighted logistic regression models were performed.
    Results: This study identified 5082 records, including 1711 and 3371 patients who had surgery in peak and non-peak viral seasons, respectively. Patients who had spinal fusion during peak viral season were less likely to experience respiratory failure (p = 0.0008) and did not demonstrate an increased incidence of aspiration pneumonia (p = 0.26), respiratory complication (p = 0.43), or mortality (p = 0.68). Respiratory failure was associated with younger age (p = 0.0031), the presence of a tracheostomy (p < 0.0001), and the number of chronic conditions (p < 0.0001). Higher number of chronic medical conditions (mean of 5.0) was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality (p < 0.0001), aspiration pneumonia (p = 0.0009), and respiratory failure (p < 0.0001).
    Conclusion: Spinal fusion for NMS during peak viral season has a lower risk of respiratory failure without an increase in mortality or other complications compared to during non-peak viral season.

    Abstract Satellite cloud remote sensing provides us the opportunity to study the spatial and temporal distributions of marine boundary layer clouds, as well as their connections with environments on a global scale. However, cloud remote sensing is not without difficulties; retrievals require numerous simplifying assumptions, placing limits on our understanding of cloud processes. Passive remote sensing retrievals often assume that clouds are homogeneous slabs, when in reality, these clouds often have complex inhomogeneous vertical and horizontal structures. Enhancing our understanding of how cloud inhomogeneity influences passive cloud remote sensing requires comparison between cloud retrievals and the underlying cloud properties. In observational data-sets this can become problematic, as it is difficult to compare satellite and airborne measurements because they have both different observed spatial scales and sensitivities to cloud properties. To avoid these complications, this work is based on a satellite retrieval simulator – a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) cloud model coupled to radiative transfer and retrieval algorithms. The LES-satellite simulator can be used to study the source of retrieval biases. It provides the underlying realistic cloud structure as a reference, informing conclusions about its impact on various cloud retrieval methods. In the first step we focus on cloud vertical profile, finding that the selection of appropriate vertical profile assumptions for the retrieval of cloud liquid water path. Confirming previous studies, drizzle and cloud top entrainment of dry air are identified as physical features that bias liquid water path retrievals away from adiabatic and toward homogeneous profile assumptions. The mean bias induced by drizzle-influenced profiles was shown to be on the order of 5–10 grams per meter squared. In contrast, the influence of cloud top entrainment was found to be smaller by about a factor of 2. A theoretical framework is also developed to explain variability in LWP retrievals by introducing modifications to the adiabatic effective radius profile. The second step focuses on horizontal inhomogeneity and exploring a comparison of both the bispectral and polarimetric cloud retrieval techniques. Using the satellite retrieval simulator we are able to verify that at high spatial resolution (50 meters) the bispectral and polarimetric retrievals are indeed highly correlated with one another. The small differences at high spatial resolution can be attributed to different sensitivity limitations of the two retrievals. In contrast, a systematic difference between the two effective radius retrievals emerges at coarser resolution. This bias largely stems from differences related to sensitivity of the two retrievals to unresolved inhomogeneities in effective variance and optical thickness. The influence of coarse angular resolution is found to increase uncertainty in the polarimetric effective radius retrieval, but generally maintains a constant mean value. The third study focuses on 3-D radiative effects influencing both total and polarized reflectances and retrievals. Comparisons between the 1-D and 3-D reflectances are made in order to study horizontal photon transfer and radiative smoothing. We find noticeable differences between the total and polarized reflectance 3-D effects, with radiative smoothing and roughening occurring at different scales as well as viewing geometry dependence. Despite these apparently strong 3-D effects on polarized reflectances, the polarimetric retrieval is robust to the influence of 3-D effects – with only sub-micron biases in the retrieval of effective radius.

    Abstract Basilar artery dolichoectasia can lead to ischemic stroke through thrombosis of small perforating vessels of the brainstem. Here we report the case of a patient with transient paramedian pontine syndrome in the setting of a hypertensive crisis, finding a dolichoectasia basilar artery compressing on the ventral surface of the pons. The outcome was near-complete resolution of deficits after blood pressure control. We propose increased basilar artery pulse pressure as a novel mechanism of transient compression of the brainstem by a dolichoectasia artery.

    Abstract Background: Parental leave impacts family engagement, bonding, stress, and happiness. Because parental leave benefits are important to all surgeons regardless of sex, understanding parental leave practices in pediatric orthopaedic surgery is critical to promote equity within the profession and supporting balance in work and family life. The aim of this study was to survey pediatric orthopaedic surgeons about their knowledge of parental leave policies, attitudes towards parental leave, and their individual experiences taking leave.
    Methods: A 34-question anonymous survey was distributed to the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America membership. Eligible respondents were attending pediatric orthopaedic surgeons practicing in the United States or Canada. The survey gathered information about employer parental leave policies, perceptions about and experiences with parental leave while practicing as a surgeon, and demographic information about respondents.
    Results: A total of 77 responses were completed and used for analysis. Most respondents were men (59.7%), <50 years old (67.5%), married (90.9%), and in urban communities (75.3%). A large majority were practicing in the United States (97.4%). Most respondents were unfamiliar with employer parental leave policies (maternity: 53.3%; paternity: 67.5%; and adoption: 85.7%). Those familiar with policies reported that employers offered 7 to 12 weeks for maternity leave (45.7%) and <1 week for paternity leave (50%) and adoption leave (45.5%). Most respondents believed 7 to 12 weeks should be offered for maternity leave (66.2%), 1 to 6 weeks for paternity leave (54.6%), and 7 to 12 weeks for adoption leave (46.8%). Many respondents reported taking 1 to 6 weeks of parental leave as a surgeon (53.3%) and that their colleagues were supportive of their parental leave (40.3%).
    Conclusions: Most pediatric orthopaedic surgeons were unfamiliar with parental leave benefits provided by employers. Respondents who were familiar with these policies believed that more parental leave should be provided, especially for men who may feel social pressure to take less time for leave. Although respondents reported that their work environments were supportive, this study identified opportunities for improvement to support surgeons who wish to balance parental experiences with work responsibilities.
