Abstract

The rise of Fe magnetic moment, changes in Al electronic structure and a variation of Al magnetic polarization in thin films of transition metal aluminide Fe _60 Al _40 have been probed through the order-disorder phase transition by soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity in the extreme ultraviolet regime. In a course of the transition induced by 20 keV Ne ^+ irradiation with low fluences (∼10 ^14 ions cm ^−2 ), x-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectra taken at the Fe L $_{2,3}$ absorption edges at room and low temperatures revealed a pronounced increase of Fe $3\textit{d}$ states spin-polarization. X-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity applied to the Al L $_{2,3}$ and Fe M $_{2,3}$ edges allowed to detect the magnetic polarization of Al atoms in the films. The changes in Al electronic structure have been seen by alteration of Al K edge x-ray absorption near edge structure. A difference in anisotropy fields for films before and after irradiation has been observed by element-specific hysteresis loops recorded at low temperatures in absorption and reflection geometries at the Fe L $_{2,3}$ and M $_{2,3}$ edges, respectively. An attempt to reduce the top oxide layer by an inductively coupled hydrogen plasma has shown a possibility to recover the chemically ordered phase.

Abstract

Background and purpose: The EQ-5D is a patientreported outcome measure (PROM). To make priorities and allocate resources between patients and surgical procedures it is necessary to evaluate outcome differences, which is why comparing PROMs between registers is important. We compared EQ-5D data and the follow-up rate for selected diagnoses reported to Swedish orthopedic registers before and 1 year after surgery. Patients and methods: Patients from 5 orthopedic registers (Swespine, Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register, Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register, Swedankle, and Swefoot) who, in 2014–2018, underwent surgery in southern Sweden were included in the study. Data on the EQ-5D index, individual questions, and the EQ-VAS at baseline and at the 1-year follow-up was compared. Results: 17,648 patients had completed the EQ-5D pre- and 1-year postoperatively. The follow-up rate ranged from 32% to 88%. All registers showed a statistical and clinically relevant improvement in the EQ-5D index (mean improvement 0.29–0.39), where patients who underwent hip arthroplasties experienced the largest improvement. The EQ-5D index improvements in patients with foot and ankle surgeries were larger than for patients with knee arthroplasties and spinal surgeries. The dimensions “self-care” and “usual activities” had the largest change in patients reporting “some problems.” Conclusion: All 5 registers showed a clinically relevant improvement 1 year postoperatively regarding the EQ-5D index, supporting continuous resource allocation to these groups of patients and surgical procedures. However, using PROM data to present register differences was challenged by the high number of non-responders.

Abstract

Background and purpose — Hallux rigidus (HR) may cause decreased range of motion, joint pain, and gait disturbances. There is a lack of evidence regarding the outcome of different surgical procedures for moderate HR. We report patient-reported outcomes after joint-preserving surgical procedures for moderate HR. Patients and methods — We included 296 patients registered in Swefoot (Swedish national registry of foot and ankle surgery) who underwent primary surgery for moderate HR 2014 through 2018. We extracted information on anthropometrics, grading of HR, chosen surgical procedure, and patient-reported data including the PROMs SEFAS (summary score 0–48) and EQ-5D-3L (index 0–1) preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Results — 115 patients underwent metatarsal decompression (i.e., Youngswick) osteotomy (YOT) and 181 underwent cheilectomy. The mean improvement in SEFAS score 1 year after surgery was 12 points (95% CI 10 − 13) for YOT and 10 points (CI 9 − 12) for cheilectomy. Also, EQ-5D improved in both groups. Patients who underwent YOT were more satisfied with the procedure (84% vs. 70% for cheilectomy, p = 0.02). Interpretation — Surgically treated patients with moderate HR improved after both YOT and cheilectomy, according to patient-reported data from Swefoot. Patients who underwent a YOT were more satisfied with their procedure. One possible explanation may be that more patients in the YOT group had a concomitant hallux valgus; however, we have no information on this.

Abstract

Objective To study the prevalence of foot pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and whether including a 12‐joint foot count in addition to the 28‐joint count (from the Disease Activity Score 28 [DAS28]) improved detection of foot or ankle pain. In addition, the association between the self‐reported foot and ankle score (SEFAS), patient‐reported function, and disease‐specific factors was studied. Methods Physician‐reported data (swollen/tender 12‐joint foot count, DAS28, and medication) and patient‐reported data (foot/ankle pain, physical function, global health, and SEFAS) were assessed during a clinical visit. Data were analyzed with t test, χ2 tests, and regression analysis. Results A total of 320 patients with RA were included (mean age 63 years, SD 13 years; 73% women), of whom 69% reported foot or ankle pain. Patients who reported foot or ankle pain had a lower mean age and worse disease activity, general pain, function, and global health (P ≤ 0.016), and fewer were in remission (50% versus 75%; P < 0.001) compared with patients without foot pain. The 12‐joint foot count identified 3.2% and 9.5% additional patients with swollen and tender joints, respectively, compared with the 28‐joint count. The SEFAS was associated with walking problems (β = −2.733; 95% confidence interval [CI] = −3.963 to −1.503) and worse function (β = −3.634; 95% CI = −5.681 to −1.587) but not with joint inflammation severity. Conclusion The prevalence of foot or ankle pain in patients with RA is high. The 12‐joint foot count had minor effects on detecting patients with foot pain. However, the SEFAS contributed additional information on foot problems that was not identified by joint examinations alone.

Abstract

The multi-parent-advanced-generation-intercross (MAGIC) population WM-800 was developed by intercrossing eight modern winter wheat cultivars to enhance the genetic diversity present in breeding populations. We cultivated WM-800 during two seasons in seven environments under two contrasting nitrogen fertilization treatments. WM-800 lines exhibited highly significant differences between treatments, as well as high heritabilities among the seven agronomic traits studied. The highest-yielding WM-line achieved an average yield increase of 4.40 dt/ha (5.2%) compared to the best founder cultivar Tobak. The subsequent genome-wide-association-study (GWAS), which was based on haplotypes, located QTL for seven agronomic traits including grain yield. In total, 40, 51, and 46 QTL were detected under low, high, and across nitrogen treatments, respectively. For example, the effect of QYLD_3A could be associated with the haplotype allele of cultivar Julius increasing yield by an average of 4.47 dt/ha (5.2%). A novel QTL on chromosome 2B exhibited pleiotropic effects, acting simultaneously on three-grain yield components (ears-per-square-meter, grains-per-ear, and thousand-grain-weight) and plant-height. These effects may be explained by a member of the nitrate-transporter-1 (NRT1)/peptide-family, TaNPF5.34, located 1.05 Mb apart. The WM-800 lines and favorable QTL haplotypes, associated with yield improvements, are currently implemented in wheat breeding programs to develop advanced nitrogen-use efficient wheat cultivars.

Abstract

Abstract Background Multi-parent advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) populations are a newly established tool to dissect quantitative traits. We developed the high resolution MAGIC wheat population WM-800, consisting of 910 F4:6 lines derived from intercrossing eight recently released European winter wheat cultivars. Results Genotyping WM-800 with 7849 SNPs revealed a low mean genetic similarity of 59.7% between MAGIC lines. WM-800 harbours distinct genomic regions exposed to segregation distortion. These are mainly located on chromosomes 2 to 6 of the wheat B genome where founder specific DNA segments were positively or negatively selected. This suggests adaptive selection of individual founder alleles during population development. The application of a genome-wide association study identified 14 quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling plant height in WM-800, including the known semi-dwarf genes Rht-B1 and Rht-D1 and a potentially novel QTL on chromosome 5A. Additionally, epistatic effects controlled plant height. For example, two loci on chromosomes 2B and 7B gave rise to an additive epistatic effect of 13.7 cm. Conclusion The present study demonstrates that plant height in the MAGIC-WHEAT population WM-800 is mainly determined by large-effect QTL and di-genic epistatic interactions. As a proof of concept, our study confirms that WM-800 is a valuable tool to dissect the genetic architecture of important agronomic traits.

Abstract

Background and purpose — Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to evaluate results in orthopedic surgery. To enhance good responsiveness with a PROM, the minimally important change (MIC) should be established. MIC reflects the smallest measured change in score that is perceived as being relevant by the patients. We assessed MIC for the Self-reported Foot and Ankle Score (SEFAS) used in Swedish national registries. Patients and methods — Patients with forefoot disorders (n = 83) or hindfoot/ankle disorders (n = 80) completed the SEFAS before surgery and 6 months after surgery. At 6 months also, a patient global assessment (PGA) scale—as external criterion—was completed. Measurement error was expressed as the standard error of a single determination. MIC was calculated by (1) median change scores in improved patients on the PGA scale, and (2) the best cutoff point (BCP) and area under the curve (AUC) using analysis of receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs). Results — The change in mean summary score was the same, 9 (SD 9), in patients with forefoot disorders and in patients with hindfoot/ankle disorders. MIC for SEFAS in the total sample was 5 score points (IQR: 2–8) and the measurement error was 2.4. BCP was 5 and AUC was 0.8 (95% CI: 0.7–0.9). Interpretation — As previously shown, SEFAS has good responsiveness. The score change in SEFAS 6 months after surgery should exceed 5 score points in both forefoot patients and hindfoot/ankle patients to be considered as being clinically relevant.

Abstract

Category: Basic Sciences/Biologics Introduction/Purpose: A scientifically sound validated foot and ankle specific outcome measure for different European languages is still missing. Indeed, language-specific cross cultural validation in other languages than English is largely absent. Some outcome measures were validated for specific pathologies such as hallux valgus, ankle arthritis or flatfoot. The European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS) established in 2013 a Score Committee to develop, validate, and publish a new score, the “EFAS Score”, which is not specific for single pathologies for different European languages. The principal aim of this project was to develop and validate the EFAS Score simultaneously for different European languages. Methods: The EFAS Score was developed and validated in three stages: 1) item (question) identification, 2) item reduction and scale exploration, 3) confirmatory analyses and responsiveness. The following score specifications were chosen: scale/subscale (Likert 0-4), questionnaire based, outcome measure, patient related outcome measurement. For stage 3, data were collected pre- operatively and post-operatively at a minimum follow-up of 3 months and mean follow-up of 6 months. Item reduction, scale exploration, confirmatory analyses and responsiveness were executed using analyses from classical test theory and item response theory. Results: Stage 1 resulted in 31 general and 7 sports related questions. In Stage 2, a 6-item general EFAS Score was constructed using English, German, French and Swedish language data. In Stage 3, internal consistency of the scale was confirmed in seven languages: the original four languages, plus Dutch, Italian and Polish (Cronbach’s Alpha >0.86 in all language versions). Responsiveness was good, with moderate to large effect sizes in all languages, and significant positive association between the EFAS Score and patient-reported improvement. No sound EFAS Sports Score could be constructed. Conclusion: The multi-language EFAS Score has been successfully validated for orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery populations incorporating a wide variety of foot and ankle pathologies, including language-specific validation in seven languages so far (English, German, French, Swedish, Dutch, Italian, Polish). Validation for other languages (Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish) is in progress. All validated score versions are freely available at www.efas.co .

Abstract

Physical activity (PA) may improve brain development, cognition, concentration and academic performance. In this prospective controlled intervention study, we increased the level of PA in 338 children aged 6–8 years at study start, from the Swedish standard of 60 min per week to 200 min per week (40 min daily). The intervention continued in all nine compulsory school years until the students graduated between 2007–2012. All other 689,881 Swedish children who graduated the same years were included as a control group. We registered at graduation eligibility rate for upper secondary school and the final grade score (from 0 to 320 grade points). We also registered the same end points in the 295 students in the index school and in all other 471,926 Swedish students who graduated in 2003–2006, that is, those who graduated before the intervention study started. Before the intervention, academic performance was similar among children in the index school as for all other Swedish boys and girls. With the intervention, the eligibility rate increased for boys in the index school by 7.3 percentage points and the mean grade scores by 13.3 points. This should be compared with a decrease of 0.8 percentage points in eligibility rate and an increase by 2.7 points in grade score in other Swedish boys. No changes were seen for intervention girls, neither in eligibility rates or grade scores. By introducing daily school-based PA in compulsory school, more boys would probably reach the eligibility rate for higher education.
