Editorial: Moving forward

Accessible Summary Some of the papers in this issue focus on supporting people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour. One paper is about support during Covid‐19 times and some papers are about therapy support following difficult times in people’s lives, including (alleged) abuse. There are also papers about using mobile phones, learning to do research, and parents adjusting to advocate for their child with learning disabilities. In journal updates, the editors will be discussing accessibility of journal papers with the authors of the In Response papers.

A New Approach to Evidence Synthesis in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Living Systematic Review.

Living systematic reviews (LSRs) are online summaries of health care research that are updated as new research becomes available. This new development in evidence synthesis is being trialled as part of the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) project. We will develop and sustain an international TBI knowledge community that maintains up-to-date, high quality LSRs of the current state of knowledge in the most important questions in TBI. Automatic search updates will be run three-monthly, and newly identified studies incorporated into the review. Review teams will seek to publish journal updates at regular intervals, with abridged updates available more frequently online. Future project stages include the integration of LSR and other study findings into “living” clinical practice guidance. It is hoped these efforts will go some way to bridging current temporal disconnects between evidence, guidelines, and practice in TBI.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia: A neonatal disease?

In this volume of The Journal, Horani and Ferkol update our current understanding of primary ciliary dyskinesia and other ciliopathies. Although neonatologists may be tempted to bypass this article, it is relevant to newborn patients because ciliary function and diseases are of increasing importance in fetal development (eg, determination of body laterality) and neonatal illnesses. The authors report that the majority of infants with primary ciliary dyskinesia present with early and prolonged neonatal respiratory distress or with laterality disorders. Although laterality disorders are readily apparent on radiographs, it is not yet clear how neonatologists should think about these diseases in tachypneic infants because primary ciliopathies are rare diseases and tachypnea is a very common problem in newborn infants. Most neonatologists can recall unusual patients with prolonged tachypnea of undetermined etiology. These patients may be good candidates for further research so we can begin to identify distinguishing neonatal clinical characteristics that would allow for targeted follow up and early diagnosis of affected infants. Article page 15 ▸ Understanding Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia and Other CiliopathiesThe Journal of PediatricsVol. 230PreviewCiliopathies are a collection of disorders related to cilia dysfunction. Cilia are specialized organelles that project from the surface of most cells. Motile and primary (sensory) cilia are essential structures and have wide ranging functions. Our understanding of the genetics, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of motile ciliopathies, including primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), has rapidly advanced since the disease was linked to ciliary ultrastructural defects nearly 5 decades ago.

"I Cannot Do All of This Alone"

Instrumental support is critical for patients and family caregivers facing life-threatening illnesses, injuries, or chronic conditions (e.g., cancer). We partner with CaringBridge.org—a prominent online health community for journaling about health crises—to conduct a study of instrumental support in the following two phases: a content analysis of 641 journal updates; and a survey of 991 users. Quantitative results show that: (1) patients and family caregivers prefer to receive different types of support than their care networks prefer to provide; (2) people generally have more trust in their closest social connections than acquaintances or businesses to provide instrumental support; and (3) users rate “prayer support” as the most important support category to them. Building on these results, we discuss design implications to accommodate divergent preferences and to expand instrumental support networks. We also discuss the need for future work to empower family caregivers and to support spirituality, an understudied topic in HCI.

Optimizing File Systems with a Write-Efficient Journaling Scheme on Non-Volatile Memory

Modern file systems employ journaling techniques to guarantee data consistency in case of unexpected system crashes or power failures. However, journaling file systems usually suffer from performance decrease due to the extra journal writes. Moreover, the emerging non-volatile memory technologies (NVMs) have the potential capability to reduce the journaling overhead by being deployed as the journaling storage devices. However, traditional journaling techniques, which are designed for hard disks, fail to perform efficiently in NVMs. In order to address this problem, we propose an NVM-based journaling scheme, called NJS. The basic idea behind NJS is to reduce the journaling overhead of traditional file systems while fully exploiting the byte-accessibility characteristic of NVM, and alleviating the slow write and endurance limitation of NVM. Our NJS consists of four major contributions: (1) In order to decrease the amount of journal writes, NJS only needs to write the file system metadata and over-write data to NVM as write-ahead logging, thus alleviating the slow write and endurance limitation of NVM. (2) NJS adopts a wear aware strategy for NVM journal block allocation in which each block can be evenly worn out, thus further extending the lifetime of NVM. (3) We propose a novel journaling update scheme in which journal data blocks can be updated in the byte-granularity based on the difference of the old and new versions of journal blocks, thus fully exploiting the unique byte-accessibility characteristic of NVM. (4) NJS includes a garbage collection mechanism that absorbs the redundant journal updates, and actively delays the checkpointing to the file system. Evaluation results show the efficiency and efficacy of NJS. For example, compared with Ext4 with a ramdisk-based journaling device, the throughput improvement of Ext4 with our NJS is up to 131.4 percent.

Primary Eosinophilic Lung Diseases and the Therapeutic Role of Corticosteroids: A Case Report and Literature Review

A 17-year-old girl was seen and treated for eosinophilic pneumonia with underlying Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES), a rare disorder comprising of the triad: A persistently high eosinophil count, eosinophil-mediated organ damage and with no evidence of other causes of secondary eosinophilia. The diagnosis was subsequently changed to acute exacerbation of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia following reviews of journal updates. Pulmonary eosinophilia is a life-threatening condition which is treatable if detected early. Unfortunately, being a rare and poorly understood disease, its diagnosis is often missed and management delayed. The aim of this report is to consolidate the understanding of CEP diagnostics and the therapeutic role of steroids based on available literature.

Editorial: Microscopy and Microanalysis—Journal Updates, FAQs, and Some Random Thoughts from the Editor-in-Chief

It is difficult to believe that I have now completed five years as the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of Microscopy and Microanalysis (MAM) and that this issue, Volume 20(1), is the start of the 20th year of the journal. Time passes quickly when one enjoys their work, and I have certainly enjoyed interacting with the majority of the many authors, reviewers, and editors associated with MAM. During my five years as EIC, we have seen significant growth of the journal and have experienced some growing pains along the way. Despite some of these growing pains and associated problems, I believe (although obviously a biased opinion) that we have been able to significantly enhance the quality of the manuscripts we are publishing and the overall product that the members of the Microscopy Society of America (MSA) and other subscribers receive. The purpose of this editorial is to provide some details on how much MAM has grown, to describe some of the problems and solutions associated with the growth, and to provide information to prospective authors on how to improve their experience of publishing in MAM by discussing some common errors that occur during submission and review of manuscripts.

Times Change and So Do People

1. Susan J. Leclair 1. Editor-in-Chief The winter issue of the journal is the time when there is a change in the Editorial Board. This year we say goodbye to our Editor-in-Chief, Bunny Rodak. For those of you who know her, it will not be surprising to you to know that she has been a hard working, efficient leader of the Editorial Board and has infused the journal with her perceptions of the needs of an ever changing discipline and profession. For the past three years she has guided the journal through a number of updates and challenges. Recently she formulated a plan to assist first time authors as they dared the publication process. Besides adding writing mentors to the journal, she has made it possible for people to be assisted through the sometimes winding path to authorship. She created a stronger group of Consulting Editors who will help in not only providing assistance to authors but also to provide a sounding board for potential authors and to evaluate proposed journal updates or policies. Thank you, Bunny. David McGlasson is also stepping down as Research Section Editor. He agreed to stay longer than his designated term in order to provide a smooth transition for his successor, MariBeth Flaws. Since we can't let him just walk away, David will be serving as a Consulting Editor. Thanks to David, our research section has become more robust and addresses a wider range of topics. Thank you, David. Similarly, George Fritsma has handed his role as Focus Section Editor over…

Design of a 65 nm CMOS 8 GHz wideband: track-and-hold, for radio astronomy and cosmology applications

In modern millimeter and sub-millimeter communication systems, particle physics, neutrino astronomy, and for passive applications in radio astronomy or remote atmospheric sensing, the trend is to eliminate analog functional blocks, such as mixers and filters, by converting the signal into the digital domain as early as possible in the processing chain. Therefore, fast analog-to-digital converters (ADC) are needed. Track-and-hold (TAH) circuits can reduce time constraints by holding the analog input value while comparators are sampled, in order to minimize the aperture time errors. This article describes the design of a TAH using the 65 nm CMOS technology from STMicroelectronics. A fully differential architecture has been adopted. The circuit exhibits a −3 dB input bandwidth wider than 8 GHz. At 8 GHz, the maximum sampling frequency, the measured overall power consumption and gain are 178 mW and −2 dB, respectively. The TAH core dissipates around 40 mW. The measured total harmonic distortion (THD) at Nyquist sampling conditions is about −37 dB. The circuit die area is 1.1 mm². Page %P Loading...
