Further Utilization of Emergency Department and Inpatient Psychiatric Services Among Young Adults Admitted at the Emergency Department With Clinical Alcohol Intoxication.

OBJECTIVES To assess in a cohort of young adults admitted with alcohol intoxication (AI) to the Emergency Department (ED): how many patients are readmitted to the ED or to a Psychiatric Department (PD) inpatient unit; and which characteristics are associated with further ED and PD inpatient admissions. METHODS In 630 patients aged 18 to 30 years admitted for AI in 2006 to 2007 to the ED of a Swiss tertiary hospital, further ED and PD inpatient admissions through 2013 were assessed. Patient characteristics at the index (initial) ED visit were assessed using administrative and medical records. MEASUREMENTS Proportion of subjects with at least 1 further ED admission, 1 further ED admission with AI, and any PD admission over the study period.Associations between patients' characteristics at index visit and readmissions were assessed using backward selection multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS Mean age was 24, 66% were male, 60% had any ED/PD admissions during the study period, 17.9% a PD admission, and 13.8% were re-admitted to ED with AI. Disruptive behavior at the index visit was associated with further ED (odds ratio [OR] 1.69 [1.13; 2.54]) and PD admissions (OR 2.41 [1.44; 4.05]). Psychiatric diagnosis was associated with any further ED admission (OR 2.07 [1.41; 3.05]), with further ED admission with AI (OR 4.56 [2.36; 8.81]) and with PD admission (OR 3.92 [2.40; 6.41]). Female sex predicted any further ED admission (OR 1.65 [1.14; 2.39]). CONCLUSIONS Young adults presenting with alcohol intoxication have high rates of subsequent inpatient emergency and psychiatric admissions. Being female, presenting with disruptive behavior, and having a psychiatric diagnosis at the ED visit were predictors of further admissions.
Evaluation of viability and germination of pollen grains of three local caprifig cultivars and their effect on some characteristics of fig fruits (Ficus carica L.)

This research was carried out in fig fields in the village of Kafar-Jales, in the north of Syria. The analyses were conducted in the laboratories of the Faculty of Agriculture at Idlib University during the 2022 farming season, to evaluate the viability and germination of three local varieties of Caprifig (Bunduqi, Azraq, Panjani). The morphological characteristics, the date of the exodus of insects (Blastophaga psenes) from male fruits, the quantity of pollen, and the percentage of germination and viability were studied on four nutritive media at a temperature of 27°C. The measurements were taken after 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. These three pollinators were used to pollinate three varieties of edible figs (white Satehi, Safrawi, and Habashi) to study the effect of pollen source on the productive characteristics of edible fig fruits. The result showed significant superiority of the Bunduqi cultivar over the rest of the cultivars in traits of the fruit’s early ripening, pollen quantity, and date of departure of insects. The Azraq cultivar is found to be superior to Bunduqi and Panjani cultivars in the germination rate of pollen at all stages of the experiment and in all used media. The addition of stigma flower extract in culture media increased germination percentage by 35% for all studied Caprifig cultivars. The addition of 10% sucrose in the cultivation environment increased the percentage of pollen germination by 20%. The cultivars that were inoculated with the Panjani pollinator outperformed the characteristics of the length, diameter, and weight, demonstrating that the fruit’s quality characteristics are affected by the genotype of the pollinator used. The results of this research can be beneficial for both fig growers and plant breeders, as they help to select the best pollinators and contribute to the development and improvement of the quality of the cultivated fig fruits.

Spatial prediction of flood susceptibility using random-forest and boosted-tree models in Seoul metropolitan city, Korea

ABSTRACT Since flood frequency increases with the impact of climate change, the damage that is emphasized on flood-risk maps is based on actual flooded area data; therefore, flood-susceptibility maps for the Seoul metropolitan area, for which random-forest and boosted-tree models are used in a geographic information system (GIS) environment, are created for this study. For the flood-susceptibility mapping, flooded-area, topography, geology, soil and land-use datasets were collected and entered into spatial datasets. From the spatial datasets, 12 factors were calculated and extracted as the input data for the models. The flooded area of 2010 was used to train the model, and the flooded area of 2011 was used for the validation. The importance of the factors of the flood-susceptibility maps was calculated and lastly, the maps were validated. As a result, the distance from the river, geology and digital elevation model showed a high importance among the factors. The random-forest model showed validation accuracies of 78.78% and 79.18% for the regression and classification algorithms, respectively, and boosted-tree model showed validation accuracies of 77.55% and 77.26% for the regression and classification algorithms, respectively. The flood-susceptibility maps provide meaningful information for decision-makers regarding the identification of priority areas for flood-mitigation management.
Controlling Phalaris minor with novel pyroxasulfone under conservation agriculture in the north-western Indo-Gangetic Plains

A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) seasons of 2021–22 and 2022–23 at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to evaluate the effectiveness of pyroxasulfone in controlling resistant Phalaris minor within the maize (Zea mays L.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system. The experiment consisted a split-plot design involving 3 crop establishment systems (Bed + R; ZT + R and CT + R) and 5 weed management strategies, viz. pyroxasulfone (W1); pyroxsulfone fb metsulfuron + carfentrazone (W2); Sulfosulfuron + metsulfuron (W3); UWC (W4); and WFC (W5), replicated thrice. The results from two-year analysis consistently favoured bed planting with residue, which exhibited the lowest P. minor density and total weed population compared to the other two methods with highest weed control efficiency. Among the various weed management options, the combination of pyroxasulfone fb metsulfuron + carfentrazone recorded significantly lowest P. minor density and higher weed control efficiency, similar to the weed-free check. Additionally, this treatment led to significantly higher dry matter accumulation (68.2 g/m2), ear length (12 cm), test weight (41 g) and grain yield (5.8 t/ha) compared to other herbicide treatments, underscoring its outstanding performance.
Low shear velocity in a normal fault system imaged by ambient noise cross correlation: The case of the Irpinia fault zone, Southern Italy

We extracted the Green's functions from cross correlation of ambient noise recorded at broadband stations located across the Apennine belt, Southern Italy. Continuous records at 26 seismic stations acquired for 3 years were analyzed. We found the emergence of surface waves in the whole range of the investigated distances (10–140 km) with energy confined in the frequency band 0.04–0.09 Hz. This phase reproduces Rayleigh waves generated by earthquakes in the same frequency range. Arrival time of Rayleigh waves was picked at all the couples of stations to obtain the average group velocity along the path connecting the two stations. The picks were inverted in separated frequency bands to get group velocity maps then used to obtain an S wave velocity model. Penetration depth of the model ranges between 12 and 25 km, depending on the velocity values and on the depth of the interfaces, here associated to strong velocity gradients. We found a low‐velocity anomaly in the region bounded by the two main faults that generated the 1980, M 6.9 Irpinia earthquake. A second anomaly was retrieved in the southeast part of the region and can be ascribed to a reminiscence of the Adria slab under the Apennine Chain.
Hypersensitivity Reactions to Local Anesthetics: A 5‐Year Observational Study in a Turkish Tertiary Referral Center

Objective: Local anesthetics are broadly used in various health care settings with high probability of lifetime exposure. The main aim of this study was to determine the characteristics and risk factors of the patients presenting to our allergy outpatient clinic due to suspected hypersensitivity to local anesthetics. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the clinical data and test results obtained from patients who had presented to our allergy outpatient clinic for allergological work-up of local anesthetics from 2015 to 2020. Results: A total of 289 subjects were included. The most common referral reason was a history of non-local anesthetic drug hypersensitivity reaction (65.7%, n=190). Twenty-five out of 289 (8.65%) patients had positivity for at least one of the tested drugs in skin prick test/ intradermal test/ subcutaneous drug provocation test. Of these 25 patients, 4 (16%) had a history of DHR to LA and 9 (36%) had a history of multiple drug hypersensitivity (MDH). Allergy to local anesthetics was observed in only 13 (18.6%) of 70 patients with a history of local anesthetic hypersensitivity reaction. Patients with atopy were 5.3 times more likely to have local anesthetic hypersensitivity (odds ratio: 5.254; 95% CI: 1.316-20.974; p=0.019). Cross-reactivity among amide-local anesthetics without a distinct predictive pattern has also been demonstrated in 3 patients. Conclusion: Most patients who report local anesthetic allergy can tolerate local anesthetics without having a hypersensitivity reaction. Atopic status is associated with increased risk of a hypersensitivity reaction to local anesthetics. Atopic patients are candidates for performing allergy tests to local anesthetics to enable appropriate counseling.
The Impact of Chronic Comorbidities on Outcomes in Acute Exacerbations of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Introduction: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic progressive lung disease of unknown cause with a high associated mortality. We aimed to compare the impact of chronic medical conditions on hospital outcomes of patients with acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF). Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using the NIS database from 2016 to 2018. We included patients aged 60 and older hospitalized in academic medical centers with the diagnoses of IPF and acute respiratory failure. We examined factors associated with hospital mortality and length of stay (LOS) using survey-weighted multivariate logistic and negative binomial regression. Results: Out of 4975 patients with AE-IPF, 665 (13.4%) did not survive hospitalization. There was no difference in the mean age between survivors and non-survivors. Patients were more likely to be male, predominantly white, and have Medicare coverage. Most non-survivors were from households with higher median income. Hospital LOS was longer among non-survivors than survivors (9.4 days vs. 9.8 days; p < 0.001). After multivariate-logistic regression, diabetes was found to be protective (aOR 0.62, 95% CI 0.50–0.77; p < 0.0001) while chronic kidney disease (CKD) conferred a significantly higher risk of death after AE-IPF (aOR 6.85, 95% CI 1.90–24.7; p = 0.00). Our multivariate adjusted negative binomial regression model for LOS identified obesity (IRR 0.85, 95% CI 0.76–0.94; p ≤ 0.00) and hypothyroidism (IRR 0.90, 95% CI 0.83–0.98; p = 0.02) to be associated with shorter hospital LOS. Conclusions: Our results suggest that CKD is a significant contributor to hospital mortality in AE-IPF, and diabetes mellitus may be protective. Obesity and hypothyroidism are linked with shorter hospital LOS among patients hospitalized with AE-IPF in US academic medical centers.
THE FRONTE CANDIDATE SECTION FOR THE UPPER PLEISTOCENE GSSP: A SHORT REPORT

We report new data regarding the environmental history of the Taranto Area since MIS 11, which possibly led to the peculiar sediment preservation characterizing the Fronte Section. This section is a very promising candidate for the Upper Pleistocene GSSP. Some preliminary results achieved after the multiple core drilling at the Fronte locality (Taranto, Italy) are reported as well.
Antibacterial profiling of endophytic fungi sourced from Justicia betonica, a medicinal plant from the secluded Western Ghats region

The present study focused on exploring the endophytic fungal diversity associated with an ethnomedicinally valued plant, Justicia betonica located in the Western Ghats region of Karnataka and evaluation of their antibacterial potential. A total of 210 endophytic fungal isolates were obtained from healthy leaf and stem tissues. The isolates were grouped into 17 distinct genera, including morphospecies. The Colletotrichum is one of the most predominant genera representing 18.1% of the total isolates, followed by Cladosporium (14.8%), Pestalotiopsis (7.14%), and Alternaria (6.7%). The Shannon-wiener diversity (H) showed that fungal diversity in both plant tissues does not have significant differences. The antibacterial potential of the isolates was evaluated using a primary agar plug diffusion technique in which 28 isolates showed prominent antibacterial activity. Nine isolates that showed the highest antibacterial activity were subjected to secondary antibacterial screening using ethyl acetate extracts. The extracts showed varying inhibitory activity against both the pathogens Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with inhibition zone ranging from 14 to 32 mm. A Xylaria sp. designated as PJJBLF53 displayed the maximum inhibition zone against both the pathogens tested when compared to the standard antibiotic, gentamicin. The study indicates that J. betonica harbors diverse endophytic fungi that possess potent antibacterial potential.
Bovine rabies: economic loss and its mitigation through antirabies vaccination

ABSTRACT: Rabies is among the most common neurological disease in cattle in Brazil, causing significant economic losses. Data on the economic impact of rabies in livestock are available in several countries. However, in Brazil, these data focus mainly on the public health point o view, emphasizing the costs related to the prevention of rabies in humans, in dogs, or wildlife. Specific studies carried out in different regions of Brazil indicate critical economic losses caused by rabies in cattle in this country. However, the studies on the losses caused by the disease in cattle lack a detailed analysis of the affected rural properties based on data from official disease control agencies. The objective of this work was to evaluate the economic impact of bovine rabies, and its mitigation through antirabies vaccination in rural properties in Mato Grosso do Sul, Midwestern Brazil.
Strengthening Dynamic Convolution With Attention and Residual Connection in Kernel Space

In this paper, we propose Dynamic Residual Convolution (DRConv), an efficient method for computing input-specific local features while addressing the limitations of dynamic convolution. DRConv utilizes global salient features calculated using efficient token attention, strengthening representation power and enabling the selection of appropriate kernels. To mitigate optimization difficulty, we divide the convolution kernel into an input-agnostic kernel and an input-dependent kernel, initializing the latter to zero. Experimental results demonstrate that DRConv improves optimization difficulty while achieving superior performance. We also introduce Dynamic Mobile-Former (DMF), inspired by parallel design, to validate the DRConv module. DMF achieves higher accuracy than the state-of-the-art MobileFormer-508M with reduced computations. Moreover, DMF outperforms ResNet101 in COCO detection while utilizing nearly half the computations. Our approach demonstrates a favorable trade-off between accuracy and FLOPs, making it suitable for various computer vision tasks. Code is available at https://github.com/ysj9909/DMF.
When Should Lymphadenectomy Be Performed in Non-Metastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors? A Population-Based Analysis of the German Clinical Cancer Registry Group

Simple Summary This population-based study of 1006 individuals diagnosed with non-metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) aimed to assess the significance of lymph node metastasis (LNM). The presence of LNM emerged as an independent prognostic factor associated with a reduced disease-free survival (DFS) in the multivariable analysis. Remarkably, LNM was identified in nearly 25% of surgically resected pNET cases, highlighting the pivotal role of lymphadenectomy in the management of pNETs. In conclusion, this study culminated in the development of a predictive model integrating variables linked to LNM. This model serves as a valuable tool for the preoperative identification of patients at risk of LNM, offering insights that can guide clinical decision-making and enhance patient care in the context of pNETs. Abstract Background: Patient selection for lymphadenectomy remains a controversial aspect in the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs), given the growing importance of parenchyma-sparing resections and minimally invasive procedures. Methods: This population-based analysis was derived from the German Cancer Registry Group during the period from 2000 to 2021. Patients with upfront resected non-functional non-metastatic pNETs were included. Results: Out of 5520 patients with pNET, 1006 patients met the inclusion criteria. Fifty-three percent of the patients were male. The median age was 64 ± 17 years. G1, G2, and G3 pNETs were found in 57%, 37%, and 7% of the patients, respectively. Lymph node metastasis (LNM) was present in 253 (24%) of all patients. LNM was an independent prognostic factor (HR 1.79, CI 95% 1.21–2.64, p = 0.001) for disease-free survival (DFS). The 3-, 5-, and 10-year disease-free survival in nodal negative tumors compared to nodal positive was 82% vs. 53%, 75% vs. 38%, and 48% vs. 16%. LNM was present in 5% of T1 tumors, 25% of T2 tumors, and 49% of T3–T4 tumors. In T1 tumors, G1 was the most predominant tumor grade (80%). However, in T2 tumors, G2 and G3 represented 44% and 5% of all tumors. LNM was associated with tumors located in the pancreatic head (p < 0.001), positive resection margin (p < 0.001), tumors larger than 2 cm (p < 0.001), and higher tumor grade (p < 0.001). The multivariable analysis showed that tumor size, tumor grade, and location were independent prognostic factors associated with LNM that could potentially be used to predict LNM preoperatively. Conclusion: LNM is an independent negative prognostic factor for DFS in pNETs. Due to the low incidence of LNM in T1 tumors (5%), parenchyma-sparing surgery seems oncologically adequate in small G1 pNETs, while regional lymphadenectomy should be recommended in T2 or G2/G3 pNETs.
Global dynamics of a predator-prey system with immigration in both species

In nature, the vast majority of species live in ecosystems that are not isolated, and the same is true for predator-prey ecological systems. With this work, we extend a predator-prey model by considering the inclusion of an immigration term in both species. From a biological point of view, that allows us to achieve a more realistic model. We consider a system with a Holling type Ⅰ functional response and study its global dynamics, which allows to not only determine the behavior in a region of the plane $ \mathbb{R}^2 $, but also to control the orbits that either go or come to infinity. First, we study the local dynamics of the system, by analyzing the singular points and their stability, as well as the possible behavior of the limit cycles when they exist. By using the Poincaré compactification, we determine the global dynamics by studying the global phase portraits in the positive quadrant of the Poincaré disk, which is the region where the system is of interest from a biological point of view.
rowd perception in prosopagnosia llison

Prosopagnosics, individuals who are impaired at recognizing single faces, often report increased difficulty when confronted with crowds. However, the discrimination of crowds has never been fully tested in the prosopagnosic population. Here we investigate whether developmental prosopagnosics can extract ensemble characteristics from groups of faces. DP and control participants viewed sets of faces varying in either identity or emotion, and were asked to estimate the average identity or emotion of each set. Face sets were displayed in two orientations (upright and inverted) to control for low-level visual features rosopagnosia nsemble coding during ensemble encoding. Control participants made more accurate estimates of the mean identity and emotion when faces were upright than inverted. In all conditions, DPs performed equivalently to controls. This finding demonstrates that integration across different faces in a crowd is possible in the prosopagnosic population and appears to be intact despite their face recognition deficits. Results also demonstrate that ensemble representations are derived differently for upright and inverted faces, and lowthe effects are not due to
Online shopping attitude and purchase intention of Nepalese consumers: Moderated mediation of social media

People's perception of online shopping grows day by day and becomes an essential part of the urban lifestyle. This study attempts to measure Nepalese consumers' online shopping attitudes and purchasing intention to this phase witnessing the social media moderation. The analysis uses a quantitative research-based descriptive and causal research design. To gather responses from sample respondents, structured questionnaires were used, and surveys were carried out. Two hundred cross-section data was gathered. For checking the psychometric and econometric components of the suggested causal model, partial least square structural equation modeling was used. Trust is important factor for purchase intention in online platform. The same case, product variety and country of origin did not support for purchase intention in online mode. Attitude successfully mediates product variety, country of origin and trust to online purchase intention. Moderated mediation is not possible for social media with attitude to online purchase intention. This research has led to the development of online marketing strategies for online shoppers in the virtual community.
