    Abstract Precise wound approximation during cutaneous suturing is of vital importance for optimal closure and long-term scar outcomes. Utilizing smartphone camera technology as a quality-control checkpoint for objective evaluation allows the dermatologic surgeon to scrutinize the wound edges and refine their surgical technique to improve scar outcomes.

    Abstract Background: The hair-bearing scalp is an underused donor site for split-thickness skin grafts (STSG).
    Objective: Evaluating the donor site scar outcomes, healing times, and complications associated with STSG harvested from the hair-bearing scalp.
    Materials and methods: During this prospective observational study, donor site healing was assessed on postoperative Days 8 and 30. Donor site scar outcomes were quantified at 1 month using the Vancouver Scar Scale. All postoperative complications were collected during the 30-day follow-up window.
    Results: 80% of donor sites was fully healed at 1-week follow-up. Vancouver Scar Scale score at the donor site was 0.26 at 1-month follow-up. All patients experienced full hair regrowth. Maximum pain scores were reported on the night of surgery (Vancouver Scar Scale 1.8), with quick resolution in days to follow. No major complications were reported. All STSG obtained from the scalp had full take and good texture and color match with the recipient site.
    Conclusion: The hair-bearing scalp is an excellent donor site for split-thickness skin graft harvesting.

    Abstract Background: Reconstruction of auricular defects after Mohs surgery is challenging given the prominence of the ear and its complex 3-dimensional architecture.
    Objective: Evaluation of postoperative pain, healing time, and postoperative complications of auricular defects after split-thickness skin graft (STSG) placement versus secondary intent healing (SIH).
    Materials and methods: During this prospective, observational study, 30 patients recorded their daily maximum postoperative pain using the numeric pain rating scale from postoperative days 0 to 8. Surgical site healing was assessed at postoperative day 8 and 30. All postoperative complications were collected during the 30-day follow-up window.
    Results: Patients undergoing STSG experienced significantly more pain during the first 3 postoperative days than patients in the SIH group. Maximum pain was experienced on the night of surgery, with a mean pain score of 3.6 in the STSG groups versus 0.8 in the SIH group. Healing was significantly faster in the STSG group, with 87% of patients fully healed at 1 week versus 21% in the SIH group. No major complications were experienced in either group.
    Conclusion: Split-thickness skin graft and SIH healing are well tolerated and provide excellent repair choices for auricular defects.

    Abstract Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic condition that can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Patients may present with a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain and distention, nausea, and vomiting that can rapidly progress to hemodynamic instability, renal failure, severe electrolyte derangements, thromboembolism, large-volume ascites, pleural effusion, and respiratory failure. We present a case of an 18-year-old woman who developed OHSS after egg donation with subsequent lower-extremity arterial thrombosis and compartment syndrome requiring fasciotomy and vascular intervention. Thus, knowledge and rapid recognition of OHSS are vital in improving patient outcomes.

    Abstract The analysis of perinatal studies is complicated by twins and other multiple births even when they are not the exposure, outcome, or a confounder of interest. Common approaches to handling multiples in studies of infant outcomes include restriction to singletons, counting outcomes at the pregnancy-level (i.e., by counting if at least one twin experienced a binary outcome), or infant-level analysis including all infants and, typically, accounting for clustering of outcomes by using generalised estimating equations or mixed effects models. Several healthcare administration databases only support restriction to singletons or pregnancy-level approaches. For example, in MarketScan insurance claims data, diagnoses in twins are often assigned to a single infant identifier, thereby preventing ascertainment of infant-level outcomes among multiples. Different approaches correspond to different causal questions, produce different estimands, and often rely on different assumptions. We demonstrate the differences that can arise from these different approaches using Monte Carlo simulations, algebraic formulas, and an applied example. Furthermore, we provide guidance on the handling of multiples in perinatal studies when using healthcare administration data.

    Abstract There has been heightened interest in identifying critical windows of exposure for adverse health outcomes; that is, time points during which exposures have the greatest impact on a person's health. Multiple informant models implemented using generalized estimating equations (MIM GEEs) have been applied to address this research question because they enable statistical comparisons of differences in associations across exposure windows. As interest rises in using MIMs, the feasibility and appropriateness of their application under settings of correlated exposures and partially missing exposure measurements requires further examination. We evaluated the impact of correlation between exposure measurements and missing exposure data on the power and differences in association estimated by the MIM GEE and an inverse probability weighted extension to account for informatively missing exposures. We assessed these operating characteristics under a variety of correlation structures, sample sizes, and missing data mechanisms considering various exposure-outcome scenarios. We showed that applying MIM GEEs maintains higher power when there is a single critical window of exposure and exposure measures are not highly correlated, but may result in low power and bias under other settings. We applied these methods to a study of pregnant women living with HIV to explore differences in association between trimester-specific viral load and infant neurodevelopment.

    Abstract In this review of the central tenets of hope theory, we examine the meta-theoretical, theoretical, and methodological foundations of the literature base. Our analysis moves from a broad examination of the research landscape in hope theory across disciplines, to a deeper investigation of the empirical literature in university students. This review highlights the significant impact of this body of research in advancing our understanding of aspects of thriving characterized by hope. However, we also evidence several limitations that may impede the advancement of the next wave of growth in this field. To address these limitations, we argue for an interdisciplinary approach to expanding the meta-theoretical, theoretical, and methodological horizons, enabling a more dynamic systems approach to the study of hope. Drawing on the intersection of positive psychology with systems thinking, we describe a methodological approach that enables a deeper examination of the processes and interactions through which hope emerges, using an analysis of the lived experience of young people. It is proposed that this research agenda will bring to life an alternate story about the resourcefulness of our youth through their own voice, enabling us to leverage this in the design of more effective strategies to facilitate hope in the future. This research agenda provides a roadmap that will provide alternative methodologies that address the current limitations in the field of hope research and, importantly, can provide fuel to spur on the acceleration of the next wave of research and practice in the field of positive psychology more broadly.
