What makes the bladder neck sling procedure a success in a selected population of children and adolescents? A STROBE-compliant investigation

-Achieving urinary continence while not placing the upper tract and renal function in jeopardy remains an important goal in the management of children with neurogenic bladder. In the select group of patients with outlet dysfunction, this usually entails a bladder outlet procedure which can be combined with an enterocystoplasty or not. The authors in this manuscript try to evaluate possible factors affecting the success of the bladder neck sling (BNS) procedure for patients with outlet dysfunction. They did a very good job in defining continence which can often be a problem with this type of manuscript. They also provide pre and post-procedure urodynamics as well as their criteria for proceeding with sling alone versus adding bladder augmentation or detrusorotomy. The number of patients and length of follow-up are also strengths of the paper. Yet, it is important to realize this is a very selective group of patients of whom most already failed bladder neck bulking agent with anticholinergic therapy and clean intermittent catheterization. Additionally, based on pre-operative UDS parameters, these patients had marginal bladder compliance and a median percentage of expected bladder capacity of only 57%. When added together, these factors would suggest that this patient population would not be considered from the start to be a good candidate for an outlet procedure alone. In contrast, the subjects of a study by Snodgrass et al. looking similarly at BNS alone had a median percentage of bladder capacity of 74% and 73% of them had bladder pressure below 25 cm H2O [1]. While this seems like a much better patient group in which to avoid augmentation, ultimately like the authors mentioned, a portion of this group did require augmentation but not all of them [2]. Thus, the conclusion that augmentation should be considered for all patients undergoing sling or any other outlet procedure to achieve the best outcomes needs to be interpreted with caution. As we continue to debate for the optimal way to safely achieve continence in these patients, the data presented here certainly can help aid in the decision as to when augmentation needs to be offered at the time of the outlet procedure.-Additionally, it may not be correct to assume that just because the patient's incontinence seems improved and they do not want another procedure equals true satisfaction. We must ensure that patients also agree to a definition of success that includes being improved but not completely dry through currently available standardized quality of life questionnaires (QOL). This may have been beyond the scope of this manuscript and is certainly a flaw of many manuscripts before it as the definition of continence is characterized by the surgeon and not the patients. Yet, as shown by Szymanski et al. any degree of urinary incontinence in patients with neurogenic bladder older than 10 years of age is associated with lower QOL scores [3]. I am certain that most surgeons reading our journal would not be satisfied being a bit wet and would prefer being completely dry.

Are highly ranked dental journals at risk of editorial bias? An examination of information on the reporting of peer-review practices

ABSTRACT The objective of the present study was to assess how clearly and transparently reported are the editorial policies of highly ranked dental journals regarding the handling of submitted manuscripts. A total of 92 dental journals classified by impact factor had their websites scrutinized between 22 July and 6 September 2021 for all information on their policies regarding the handling of submitted manuscripts by editors. The information included items that could indicate potential risk of editorial bias. A total of 49 (53.3%) of the selected journals allowed the submission of all types of manuscripts, while 26 (28.3%) journals did not allow some types of manuscripts to be submitted (some manuscripts are only commissioned). The criteria for the acceptance of submitted manuscripts were clearly reported in eight (8.7%) journals, and only one reported the criteria in a hierarchical fashion. Sixteen (17.4%) journals reported a policy for handling the submitted manuscript when an editor was the author of the manuscript. Nine (9.8%) journals reported the possibility of a rebuttal letter by authors after manuscript rejection, but for most (62%) journals this information was not reported. The reporting of editorial policies regarding the peer-review process in highly ranked dental journals should be improved.

Chinese herbal medicine treatment based on subgroup differentiation as adjunct therapy for Parkinson\u2019s disease: study protocol of a pilot add-on, randomised, controlled, pragmatic clinical trial

BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent and debilitating condition. Conventional medications cannot control all symptoms and may inflict adverse effects. A survey reported that Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) is frequently sought. Existing CHM trials were contradictory and often of poor quality due to lack of methodological rigor. A national clinical guideline was drafted in China with diagnostic criteria and treatment strategy of Chinese medicine (CM) patterns subgroups of PD. The suggested CHM were found to exhibit neuroprotective effect in in vitro and in vivo studies. This trial aims to preliminarily assess the effect of CHM prescribed based on pattern differentiation on PD symptoms and patients’ quality of life, and evaluate the feasibility of the trial design for a future large-scale trial.MethodsThis trial will be a pilot assessor- and data analyst blind, add-on, randomised, controlled, pragmatic clinical trial. 160 PD patients will be recruited and randomised into treatment or control groups in a 1:1 ratio. The trial will be conducted over 32 weeks. PD patients in the treatment group will be stratified into subgroups based on CM pattern and receive CHM accordingly in addition to conventional medication (ConM). The control group will receive ConM only. The primary outcome will be part II of the Movement Disorder Society Sponsored Revision of Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS). Secondary outcomes will include part and total scores of MDS-UPDRS, domain and total scores of Non-motor symptom scale (NMSS). Adverse events will be monitored by monthly follow-ups and questionnaires. Mixed models will be used to analyse data by Jamovi and R.Expected outcomesThe success of our trial will show that the pragmatic design with subgroup differentiation is feasible and can produce reliable results. It will also provide preliminary data of the effect of CHM on improving clinical outcomes and quality of PD patients. Data collected will be used to optimize study design of the future large-scale clinical study.Ethical clearanceEthical clearance of this study was given by the Research Ethics Committee of Hong Kong Baptist University (REC/20-21/0206).Trial registration This trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05001217, Date: 8/10/2021, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05001217). Type of manuscript: clinical trial protocol (date: 3rd November, 2021, version 1)

50 years in urinary incontinence: a bibliometric analysis of the top 100 cited articles of the last 50years.

A large body of literature has been published on urinary incontinence, ranging from medical treatment, epidemiology and surgical techniques. A bibliometric analysis is used to identify high-quality research papers using criteria such as citation rate and journal impact factor. To describe key themes and topics in urinary incontinence literature in the last 50years. Thomson Reuters Web of Science citation indexing database was used to identify the top 100 cited articles in urinary incontinence in the last 50years. Data sets were subdivided into manuscript type, theme, author, institution, country of origin, journal and citation rate. Mean number of citations in the top 100 group for manuscripts was 676, ranging between 2444 and 306. Most cited paper was by Irwin et al. The manuscript with the highest citation rate was by Dumoulin et al., citation rate of 470.7/year. The largest number of manuscripts was published between 2000 and 2009 (n = 47). The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) had the highest impact factor (74.67) and five manuscripts were published in this journal. Fifty-seven per cent of articles were published in journals with impact factor < 5. The vast majority of the articles focussed on epidemiology, followed by surgical treatment of urinary incontinence, 69% being original research studies. This is the first bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most influential papers in urinary incontinence. The key themes identified were epidemiology and surgical management, with most papers being original research studies.

Dunhuang was not isolated: examples such as ‘Master Yixing sets up earth-wheel lamps’ and others from Yunnan

ABSTRACT Buddhist ritual procedures such as the setting up of Sky-wheel Lamps 天輪燈 and Earth-wheel Lamps 地輪燈 were previously only seen in the Dunhuang manuscript (D2074, BD15147, G015, etc.) and its related materials. It turns out that these procedures can also be found in the ordinance and ritual (keyi 科儀) manuscript used by Azhali 阿吒力 monks in Dali 大理, as well as in Song text Shuilu yi 水陸儀 [Water-land Rituals], and in the Dali manuscript Zhufo pusa Jin’gang deng qiqing 諸佛菩薩金剛等啟請. Three different types of Choutian xiedi manuscripts collected recently from Yunnan all share similar contents and contain phrases such as ‘Master Yixing sets up earth-wheel lamp’ (一行禪師設地燈), which corresponds to the Dunhuang manuscript Yixing dashi shi shijie dilun dengfa. This chain of evidence demonstrates that the Dali Buddhist tradition in Nanzhao 南詔 as well as the Azhali tradition were all components of Chinese Buddhism. On the other hand, these findings provide new examples for the important reference value of Yunnan Chinese Buddhism as for the study of post-Tang Chinese Buddhism.

From The Editors Desk…

Our editorial team has always endeavoured not just to improve the quality of the manuscripts but also to help the authors improve their writing skills. Depending upon the type of manuscript we recommend standard guidelines like the CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE, CARE and STARD. We also recommend IMRaD format while writing the manuscript. The Introduction, which is around 3-4 paragraphs, should be structured from generalities to the specific elaborating what the shortcomings are in published literature and what void the current research would fill. The authors must understand that the “aim” is the broader intent, while the “objectives” are the more specific steps which one plans to achieve. The Material and Methods section needs to be detailed to such an extent that any researcher planning to replicate the study can do so with accuracy. In this section, the study design, the study setting, inclusion and exclusion criteria, sample size, interventions, outcome measures and statistics are elaborated. The results section provides outcome data about primary and secondary measures as well as the contrast between groups wherever applicable. Avoid presenting same result data in multiple formats as well as interpreting the results in this section. The discussion part compares the results with existing literature, analyses the strengths and limitations of the study and at the same time explain the practical implications as well as future research directions. Finally, at the end a summary of the concluding findings should be provided and whether they support your initial research hypothesis. Last but not the least, the author must remember the criticality of the abstract. Most reviewers and editors as well as readers base their initial judgement based on this short paragraph. Structured abstracts are preferred with relevant subsections. Authors must understand the significance of keywords, MeSH terms as well as how to do proper referencing. Writing medical literature is an art which needs to be groomed at an early stage. Competency develops as one writes more &amp; more. We hope this editorial will help authors understand how to ensure that their article is selected, printed, and finally appreciated by the readers. We end this editorial with a remembrance to a few of our dearest fellow Orthopaedicians whose demise shall leave a lasting void in Odisha Orthopaedics. Dr Prabhakar Mohanty, Dr Bijay Kumar Sadangi, Dr Binay Aggarwal and Dr Smarajit Pattnaik will always be in our cherished memories. Dr Satya Ranjan Patra Editor – In – Chief

How to Write and Publish Quality Articles? Insights for Early-Stage Researchers

How to write and publish quality papers and that too in a quality journal, is a puzzle that every scholar and researcher, particularly in their early careers, struggles to solve as early as possible. Here, I want to outline, in brief, how one can work toward writing and publishing a good paper. The writing style and structure of a paper depends on the type of manuscript, which can be broadly be categorised as empirical, and non-empirical. Empirical papers, which use empirical data to answer the research questions and/or testing hypotheses, are the most used form of published work in scientific journals. The types of non-empirical papers include conceptual, theoretical, review-based, case study, perspective, notes, commentary etc.

UTILIZATION OF EYE TRACKING TECHNOLOGY IN DESIGN AND MARKETING DECISION MAKING

Manuscript type: Original paper Research Aims: This study aims to reveal whether combination display affects fixation count and duration. Design/methodology/approach: This study used eye tracking methods in data collection and packaging design testing from the results of previous study. Respondents who participate were 40 people from teenagers and young adults. The collected data were analyzed quantitatively by the amount of fixation and processed by the Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) test. Research Findings: From the statistical data on Baba Nana Brand, the average duration of the respondents did not show any difference in the study. However, the number of variables showed differences in the whole study. In other words, the respondent's gaze is quite a lot and often looks at the Baba Nana. It was revealed that the Baba Nana as a brand that is not yet on the market turned out to be quite attractive to respondents. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: Utilization of eye tracking technology in design and marketing decision making. Practitioner/Policy Implication: Marketers can utilize eye tracking technology in making design and marketing decisions, mainly when launch a new product to the market. Research limitation/Implications:&nbsp; Further research can study whether the fixation count and duration variable duration affects the consumer's statement of product interest.

DETERMINANTS OF CUSTOMERS’ ADAPTATION TO INTERNET BANKING: EVIDENCE FROM GREATER JAKARTA AREA, INDONESIA

Manuscript type: Research Article Research Aims: This paper aims to analyze factors that affect customers&rsquo; adaptation to using Internet Banking among banks&rsquo; customers in Indonesia. The variables hypothesized to influence adaptation to using Internet Banking are Importance of Internet Banking Needs, Compatibility, Convenience, Communication, and Benefits of Internet Banking. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) on a sample of 215 Internet Banking customers from Greater Jakarta Area, Indonesia. Research Findings: This study found that Benefits of Internet Banking has a significant positive influence on Importance of Internet Banking Needs, which, however, does not influence customer adaptation. Similarly, Compatibility has no influence on customer adaptation. On the other hand, Convenience, and Communication are proven to have significant and positive influences on Customer Adaptation to Internet Banking in Indonesia. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This research uses the theory of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explain Indonesian customers&rsquo; adaptation to Internet Banking by combining the models from Ege Oru&ccedil; &amp; Tatar (2017) and Jahangir &amp; Parvez (2012). Practitioner/Policy Implication: The results of this study suggest that banks should provide easier, more attractive and secure facilities for users. Banks should invest more in promoting Internet Banking either internally through information by bank officers or spreading media brochures to customers in line at the back. Research limitation/Implications:&nbsp; There are some limitations of this research in terms of the number of respondents, geographical coverage, the model used, questionnaire design and respondent&rsquo;s perception. Further research might consider to address these issues.

BUILDING BRAND RESONANCE: OPTIMIZING SYMBOLIC BRAND REPUTATION AND CUSTOMERS’ EMOTIONAL VALUE

Manuscript type: Research Paper Research Aims: The objective of this research is to create a conceptual model that explains how the process of building and increasing brand resonance by constructing important factors regarding consumer perceptions of brands, such as brand love, brand attitude, emotional customer value, and symbolic brand reputation. Design/methodology/approach: The respondents were owners and users of Toyota Fortuner car in Indonesia. There was questionnaires distributed directly to the Toyota Fortuner car users in several big cities in Indonesia (Yogyakarta, Semarang, Bandung, Jakarta, and Surabaya). Research Findings: The acceptance of all proposed hypotheses shows the importance of brand love, brand attitude, emotional customer value, and symbolic brand reputation in increasing the success of building brand resonance, so that the company is able to make customers have a strong bond with the brand. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The theoretical model of this research could be utilized as an essential reference in developing a brand management model through the CBBE approach. The originality of this research is placed on the new conceptual model development, in order to build a strong brand resonance. Practitioner/Policy Implication: This research has distinctly indicated that there were three methods to drive increased brand resonance that companies could adopt in setting the brand policies. These three important things included increasing the symbolic brand reputation and customers&rsquo; emotional value, increasing the positive attitude of customers towards the brand (brand attitude), and increasing the consumer's affection for the brand. Research limitation/Implications:&nbsp; This research utilizes samples on only one automotive brand and company.

REVEALING PAST IDENTITY OF UPCYCLED PRODUCTS: HOW SIMPLE NARRATIVE IMPROVE PRODUCT PERCEPTION

Manuscript type: Research Article&nbsp; Research Aims: Telling a story about the past identity of a product is believed to help improve the positive perception towards the product. Certain product has gone through transformation from its past identity to new and more valuable product, known as upcycled product. This study aimed to investigate whether a simple narrative about repurposed products can generate higher perception of product biography, product appeal, felt specialness, and purchase intention of consumers.&nbsp;&nbsp; Design/methodology/approach: To test the hypotheses, a two-group between subject experiment involving 103 university students was conducted . Two upcycled products (pouch and bag) with simple narrative were used as stimulus.&nbsp; Research Findings: The result revealed that people who are aware of the past identity of the product perceived that the product has a story and feel more special, unique, and recognized if they use the product. Contrary to the previous research, this study found no difference in perception about product appeal and purchase intention between two groups.&nbsp;&nbsp; Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This research contribute in filling the gap of the impact of storytelling with simple narrative toward upcycled products especialy in Indonesia. Practitioner/Policy Implication: This study could provide some insights to business owners and marketers that building a story about the product or around the product can help build positive attitude toward the product and a simple or minimal narrative can function well. Research limitation/Implications: This research however has some limitations such as the variety of participants which limited to university students. Furthermore, this research did not take into account the prior knowledge and awareness of participants about repurposed products.

THE EFFECT OF VISUAL AND FUNCTIONAL CRITERIA OF PACKAGING: CONSUMER EXPECTATIONS OF ELEMENTS FOR DAIRY PRODUCT PACKAGING

Manuscript type: Research paper Research Aims: This study seeks to investigate the effect of visual and functional criteria on packaging and consumer expectations towards the packaging elements of dairy products for children. Design/methodology/approach: For this purpose a sample containing 334 children between 7- 12 years were used. Sampling method was random sampling and measuring tool was questionnaire. In order to data analysis and hypothesis testing, structured equations test by means of "Lisrel software" was used and the research results show that recyclability of product, easy to carry, packaging (product) form and illustrations on packaging variables haven't positive and significant effect on consumer's expectations toward packaging elements of product. Research Findings: On the other hand packaging (background) color and font style variables have positive and significant effect on consumer's expectations toward packaging elements of product. Thus, according to the results visual criteria have more effective role on packaging than functional criteria.&nbsp;&nbsp; Theoretical Contribution/Originality: As the general rule of all affecting factors in stimulating Visual and Functional Criteria of Packaging of customers, this is a rare study which investigates and provides insights to clarify the exact role of the factors in the field. Practitioner/Policy Implication: Scrutinizing the motivators of Visual and Functional Criteria of Packaging and their interrelationships would help professionals as well as scholars to understand its determinants, which will lead to more insightful decisions. Further, this understanding may be useful in shaping marketing policies and strategies for Iranian and the other&nbsp; firms al around the world.&nbsp; Research limitation/Implications: Lack of cooperation of some respondents; As well as the limited results to the respondents' perceptions of the questionnaire questions.

NO SUCH THING AS A FREE APP: A TAXONOMY OF FREEMIUM BUSINESS MODELS AND USER ARCHETYPES IN THE MOBILE GAME MARKET

Manuscript type: Research Paper Research Aims: The Freemium business model is becoming increasingly prominent in the current digital economy. In the mobile game market, total revenue from free to download apps is overtaking those from paid apps. The purpose of this article is to propose a taxonomy that examines and categorises the various types of Freemium business models. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses the qualitative approach of logical partitioning to generate a Freemium business model's taxonomy through systematic observation of the existing business models. Research Findings: The findings identify advertisement and microtransaction as two primary revenue sources for Freemium business models. The taxonomy also reveals different types of in-app purchases, the most dominant Freemium business model in the mobile game market. Further discussion connects the taxonomy to related issues such as user archetypes and 'user flows'.&nbsp; Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This paper conceptualises a novel taxonomy of business model integrating various research streams and differentiating types of freemium business model. This paper also extends the existing archetypes of Freemium users by adding new categories, namely Remoras and Barnacles, to differentiate free users. Finally, this paper proposes a framework of user flows between the free and the paying state, arguing for a nonlinear flow. Research limitation/Implications: The taxonomy addresses freemium business models in the mobile game market. Application of the taxonomy in a broader context will require further study.

Implementasi Metode Talaqqi dan Metode Bin-Nadhar dalam Pembelajaran Ekstrakurikuler Tahfidz

MTs Swasta Madani is one of the formal educational institutions that has a tahfidz Quran extracurricular program. Tahfidz teachers implement the talaqqi method and bin-nadhar method in tahfidz extracurricular learning. Talaqqi method and bin-nadhar method are considered easy to apply for private MTs students. The purpose of this study is explaining the application of talaqqi method and bin-nadhar method in tahfiz extracurricular activities ,explaining the obstacles faced and solution. The results of this study: The steps for applying the talaqqi method where the teacher reads the Quranic verses that will be memorized by students with the correct recitation of the rhythm of Imam Thoha Al-Junayd then followed by the students. Then it is continued by using the bin nadhar method which invites students to read verse by verse which will be memorized repeatedly until they are memorized, after that it gives time for students to memorize themselves and deposit the memorization to the teacher if they have really memorized it. Constraints: the ability of each student is different so the target of memorization is not achieved evenly, lack of support from parents who do not help their children repeat memorization at home and narrow classrooms and different types of Quran manuscripts. Solution: the teacher groups students who are not fluent in reading the Quran to take tahsin classes, invites parents to control children learning the Quran and repeat memorization at home and instruct students to use a similar Quran.
