Low-Resolution Spectrum of the Diffuse Galactic Light and 3.3μm PAH Emission with the AKARI InfraRed Camera

We first obtained the spectrum of the diffuse Galactic light (DGL) at general interstellar space in 1.8-5.3 um wavelength region with the low-resolution prism spectroscopy mode of the AKARI Infra-Red Camera (IRC) NIR channel. The 3.3 um PAH band is detected in the DGL spectrum at Galactic latitude |b| < 15 deg, and its correlations with the Galactic dust and gas are confirmed. The correlation between the 3.3 um PAH band and the thermal emission from the Galactic dust is expressed not by a simple linear correlation but by a relation with extinction. Using this correlation, the spectral shape of DGL at optically thin region (5 deg < |b| < 15 deg) was derived as a template spectrum. Assuming that the spectral shape of this template spectrum is uniform at any position, DGL spectrum can be estimated by scaling this template spectrum using the correlation between the 3.3 um PAH band and the thermal emission from the Galactic dust.

Optical-NIR spectroscopy of the puzzling gamma-ray source 3FGL 1603.9-4903/PMN J1603-4904 with X-shooter

The Fermi/LAT instrument has detected about two thousands Extragalactic High Energy (E > 100 MeV) gamma-ray sources. One of the brightest is 3FGL 1603.9-4903, associated to the radio source PMN J1603-4904. Its nature is not yet clear, it could be either a very peculiar BL Lac or a CSO (Compact Symmetric Object) radio source, considered as the early stage of a radio galaxy. The latter, if confirmed, would be the first detection in gamma-rays for this class of objects. Recently a redshift z=0.18 +/- 0.01 has been claimed on the basis of the detection of a single X-ray line at 5.44 +/- 0.05 keV interpreted as a 6.4 keV (rest frame) fluorescent line. We aim to investigate the nature of 3FGL 1603.9-4903/PMN J1603-4904 using optical to NIR spectroscopy. We observed PMN J1603-4904 with the UV-NIR VLT/X-shooter spectrograph for two hours. We extracted spectra in the VIS and NIR range that we calibrated in flux and corrected for telluric absorption and we systematically searched for absorption and emission features. The source was detected starting from ~6300 Ang down to 24000 Ang with an intensity comparable to the one of its 2MASS counterpart and a mostly featureless spectrum. The continuum lacks absorption features and thus is non-stellar in origin and likely non-thermal. On top of this spectrum we detected three emission lines that we interpret as the Halpha-[NII] complex, the [SII] 6716,6731 doublet and the [SIII] 9530 line, obtaining a redshift estimate of z= 0.2321 +/- 0.0004. The equivalent width of the Halpha-[NII] complex implies that PMN J1603-4904 does not follow the observational definition of BL Lac, the line ratios suggest that a LINER/Seyfert nucleus is powering the emission. This new redshift measurement implies that the X-ray line previously detected should be interpreted as a 6.7 keV line which is very peculiar.
RELATIVISTIC EQUATION OF STATE FOR CORE-COLLAPSE SUPERNOVA SIMULATIONS

We construct the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter covering a wide range of temperature, proton fraction, and density for the use of core-collapse supernova simulations. The study is based on the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory, which can provide an excellent description of nuclear matter and finite nuclei. The Thomas–Fermi approximation in combination with assumed nucleon distribution functions and a free energy minimization is adopted to describe the non-uniform matter, which is composed of a lattice of heavy nuclei. We treat the uniform matter and non-uniform matter consistently using the same RMF theory. We present two sets of EOS tables, namely EOS2 and EOS3. EOS2 is an update of our earlier work published in 1998 (EOS1), where only the nucleon degree of freedom is taken into account. EOS3 includes additional contributions from Λ hyperons. The effect of Λ hyperons on the EOS is negligible in the low-temperature and low-density region, whereas it tends to soften the EOS at high density. In comparison with EOS1, EOS2 and EOS3 have an improved design of ranges and grids, which covers the temperature range T = 0.1–102.6 MeV with the logarithmic grid spacing Δlog10(T/[MeV]) = 0.04 (92 points including T = 0), the proton fraction range Yp = 0–0.65 with the linear grid spacing ΔYp = 0.01 (66 points), and the density range ρB = 105.1–1016 g cm−3 with the logarithmic grid spacing Δlog10(ρB/[g cm−3]) = 0.1 (110 points).
Benefits of topical hyaluronic acid for skin quality and signs of skin aging: From literature review to clinical evidence

Skin aging goes beyond a chronological process and also results from extrinsic factors referred to as the exposome. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an important component of the extracellular matrix, with loss starting at 25 years old. While many studies of HA concern topical use, few literature reviews only address the use of topical HA in dermatology. This review describes the different characteristics of HA‐containing cosmeceuticals, with a focus on skin aging and the impact of exposome factors on HA synthesis and degradation. A review was performed using the terms HA, hyaluronan, topical, dermatology, cosmetic, aging treatment, exposome, and cosmeceuticals. Results are also presented from a recent randomized controlled trial (RCT), which investigated the additional benefit of using a HA epidermic filler (HA‐filler serum) combined with Botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) to treat signs of skin aging. Subjects were randomized to two groups: HA‐filler serum starting 24 h after the BoNTA injection then twice daily for 24 weeks, or the control group, which received BoNTA. HA is a key ingredient used in cosmeceuticals for its hydration/antiaging properties (hygroscopic, rheological, and viscoelastic). Several clinical studies indicate that HA is both well tolerated and effective, adjuvant to both post‐surgical and facial rejuvenation procedures. In the RCT, one of few studies to combine BoNTA and HA with a 6‐month follow‐up, the HA‐filler serum lengthened the duration of BoNTA's effect in reducing wrinkles. Numerous studies support HA‐based cosmeceuticals as a noninvasive, effective solution for improving skin hydration and rejuvenation.
Shrunken pore syndrome in childhood cancer survivors treated with potentially nephrotoxic therapy

Abstract Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at risk of kidney dysfunction. Recently, the shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) has been described, which is characterized by selectively impaired filtration of larger molecules like cystatin C, while filtration of smaller molecules like creatinine is unaltered. It has been associated with increased mortality, even in the presence of a normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of SPS in CCS exposed to potentially nephrotoxic therapy. In the Dutch Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (DCCSS)-LATER 2 Renal study, a nationwide cross-sectional cohort study, 1024 CCS ≥5 years after diagnosis, aged ≥18 years at study, treated between 1963-2001 with nephrectomy, abdominal radiotherapy, total body irradiation, cisplatin, carboplatin, ifosfamide, high-dose cyclophosphamide or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation participated, and 500 age- and sex-matched controls form Lifelines. SPS was defined as an eGFRcys/eGFRcr ratio <0.6 in the absence of non-GFR determinants of cystatin C and creatinine metabolism (i.e. hyperthyroidism, corticosteroids, underweight). Three pairs of eGFR-equations were used; CKD-EPIcys/CKD-EPIcr, CAPA/LMR, and FAScys/FASage. Median age was 32 years. Although an eGFRcys/eGFRcr ratio <0.6 was more common in CCS (1.0%) than controls (0%) based on the CKD-EPI equations, most cases were explained by non-GFR determinants. The prevalence of SPS in CCS was 0.3% (CKD-EPI equations), 0.2% (CAPA/LMR) and 0.1% (FAS equations), and not increased compared to controls. CCS treated with nephrotoxic therapy are not at increased risk for SPS compared to controls. Yet, non-GFR determinants are more common and should be taken into account when estimating GFR.
A Novel Domain Adversarial Networks Based on 3D-LSTM and Local Domain Discriminator for Hearing-Impaired Emotion Recognition

Recent research on emotion recognition suggests that deep network-based adversarial learning has an ability to solve the cross-subject problem of emotion recognition. This study constructed a hearing-impaired electroencephalography (EEG) emotion dataset containing three emotions (positive, neutral, and negative) in 15 subjects. The emotional domain adversarial neural network (EDANN) was carried out to identify hearing-impaired subjects’ emotions by learning hidden emotion information between the labeled data and the data with no-label. For the input data, we propose a spatial filter matrix to reduce the overfitting of the training data. A feature extraction network 3DLSTM-ConvNET was used to extract comprehensive emotional information from the time, frequency, and spatial dimensions. Moreover, emotion local domain discriminator and emotion film group local domain discriminator were added to reduce the distribution distance between the same kinds of emotions and different film groups, respectively. According to the experimental results, the average accuracy of subject-dependent is 0.984 (STD: 0.011), and that of subject-independent is 0.679 (STD: 0.140). In addition, by analyzing the discrimination characteristics, we found that the brain regions with emotional recognition in the hearing-impaired are distributed in the wider areas of the parietal and occipital lobes, which may be caused by visual processing.
The Impact of Cytogenetic Aberrations in the Clonal Evolution of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: A Single-Center Experience Among 450 Turkish Patients (Cohort Study)

Objective: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal hematologic disorder characterized by t(9;22) translocation, in which cytogenetic aberrations can occur in Ph(+) and (-) clones. These aberrations develop due to clonal evolution as well as treatment and they have prognostic significance. They are grouped as major and minor route anomalies in terms of their effects on prognostic parameters, such as treatment response, overall survival (OS), disease stage, complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), and major molecular response (MMR). It is stated that major route anomalies have unfavorable prognostic effects compared to minor route anomalies. We aimed to investigate the frequency and prognostic effects of cytogenetic anomalies detected in Ph(+) and (-) clones. Materials and Methods: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the cytogenetic results of 450 patients diagnosed with CML between 2005 and 2020. Results: We detected cytogenetic aberrations in Ph-positive and negative clones in 41 of 450 patients. The most common anomalies were trisomy 8 (+8), additional Ph chromosome (+Ph), and loss of chromosome Y. Rarely, aneuploidy of the Y chromosome, dup (22), +11, and +6 were seen in CML patients. We observed that these identified aberrations negatively affected MMR and CCyR, and generally resulted in changing imatinib treatment for second-generation tyrosine kinase activity inhibitors. Our results are compatible with the literature. Conclusion: We suggest that cytogenetic aberrations detected in Ph(+) and (-) clones should be a warning sign in terms of treatment and require close observation. The use of cytogenetic methods for the identification of these anomalies is also important.
The influence of BMI in asthma. Which traits are due to obesity and which to asthma and obesity phenotype?

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Characteristics of the asthma and obesity phenotype have been described by cluster studies, but they have not been subsequently confirmed. Specific characteristics of this phenotype have not been differentiated from those inherent to the patient's body mass index (BMI). This study aims to assess the effect of BMI on asthma. This will allow to identify which traits could define the asthma and obesity phenotype, and which are inherent to the patient´s BMI. METHODS A real-life retrospective observational study was conducted with a 2,514 patients database. Data was collected on the first visit to the Allergy clinic of all patients who underwent a correct spirometry maneuver due to suspected asthma between November 2014 and November 2017. All BMI, sex and age groups were represented. RESULTS BMI influence over asthma differed in different age groups and genders. All spirometric results and FeNO were influenced by BMI. Concerning asthma characteristics only a later asthma onset with higher BMI values was observed. No other differences were found between different BMI groups. CONCLUSIONS The effect of BMI on asthma is age dependent, so it should be corrected for age. The most important variations are on FeNO and spirometric results. The specific characteristics of the asthma and obesity phenotype are a greater perception of symptoms with fewer alterations in respiratory function tests and a lower prevalence of atopy, rhinitis and allergy, including allergic asthma. Other characteristics of this phenotype, such as a higher women prevalence or being late-onset or non-eosinophilic asthma, are non-specific for this phenotype.
Dust within the nuclear star cluster in the Milky Way

The mean absolute extinction towards the central parsec of the Milky Way is A_K~3 mag, including both foreground and Galactic center dust. Here we present a measurement of dust extinction within the Galactic old nuclear star cluster (NSC), based on combining differential extinctions of NSC stars with their u_l proper motions along Galactic longitude. Extinction within the NSC preferentially affects stars at its far side, and because the NSC rotates, this causes higher extinctions for NSC stars with negative u_l, as well as an asymmetry in the u_l-histograms. We model these effects using an axisymmetric dynamical model of the NSC in combination with simple models for the dust distribution. Comparing the predicted asymmetry to data for ~7100 stars in several NSC fields, we find that dust associated with the Galactic center mini-spiral with extinction A_K~=0.15-0.8 mag explains most of the data. The largest extinction A_K~=0.8 mag is found in the region of the Western arm of the mini-spiral. Comparing with total A_K determined from stellar colors, we determine the extinction in front of the NSC. Finally, we estimate that for a typical extinction of A_K~=0.4 the statistical parallax of the NSC changes by ~0.4%.
Method Effects Associated to Item Valence: Evidence From the 10-Item Big-Five Inventory in Older Adults

The objective of this study is to analyze the factor structure of the BFI-10 considering item valence effects when applied to measure older adults. Likewise, this study aims to estimate the factorial structure, internal consistency of the scale, to assess the nomological validity, and the association of the Big Five traits with age. 75,078 participants with mean age of 68.27 from the 7th Wave of the SHARE study were included. Confirmatory Factor Analyses, omega coefficients and Pearson correlations were estimated. The best-fit model identified a five-factor structure with two valence effects, internal consistency ranged from . 26 to . 64, the nomological network showed that loneliness is negatively associated to neuroticism and positively with the other four traits, and the opposite direction in the associations with the five traits and satisfaction and quality of life. Consciousness, Extraversion and Openness have been found as dimensions that tend to decrease with age.
High magnetic field evolution of ferroelectricity in CuCrO 2

CuCrO2 offers insights into the different types of spiral magnetic orderings that can form spontaneously due to frustration in triangular-lattice antiferromagnets. We explore the magnetic phase diagram up to 65 T along all the principle axes, and also use electric polarization to probe changes in the spiral order at high magnetic fields. It is known that at zero magnetic field a proper-screw spiral of the Cr S = 3/2 spins forms that in turn induces electric polarization with six possible orientations ab-plane. Applied magnetic fields in the (hard) ab-plane have been shown to induce a transition to cycloidal spiral magnetic order above 5.3 T in those domains that have spins perpendicular to the applied magnetic field. We show that the cycloidal order remains unchanged all the way up to 65 T, which is one quarter of the extrapolated saturation magnetization. On the other hand for magnetic fields along the (easy) c-axis, we observe a transition in the electric polarization near 45 T, and it is followed by a series of steps and/or oscillations in the electric polarization. The data is consistent with the a proper-screw-to-cycloidal transition that is pushed from 5.3 to 45 T by easy-axis anisotropy, and is in turn followed by stretching of the magnetic spiral through commensurate and incommensurate wave vectors. This work also highlights the ability of the magnetically-induced electric polarization to probe complex magnetic orders in regimes of phase space that are difficult to reach with neutron diffraction.
Significant Others and Not Family or Friend Support Mediate Between Stigma and Discrimination Among People Living With HIV in Lagos State, Nigeria: A Cross-sectional Study

Abstract Approximately 70% of the 37.7 million people living with HIV (PLWH) globally reside in sub-Saharan Africa and 10% of the global HIV burden is in Nigeria. PLWH encounter stigma and discrimination. Limited support from family, friends, and significant others increases stigma and discrimination among PLWH. This study sought to understand how support from family, friends, and significant others mediates stigma and discrimination in the Nigerian context. This descriptive cross-sectional study enrolled 396 PLWH from six health facilities between June and July 2021 in Lagos State, Nigeria. Stigma, discrimination, and social support were assessed. On average, participants were 32 years of age and female. Increased social support was associated with reduced stigma and discrimination. Support from participants' significant others was found to mediate the relationship between stigma and discrimination.
The fall of the summer truffle: Recurring hot, dry summers result in declining fruitbody production of Tuber aestivum in Central Europe

Global warming is pushing populations outside their range of physiological tolerance. According to the environmental envelope framework, the most vulnerable populations occur near the climatic edge of their species' distributions. In contrast, populations from the climatic center of the species range should be relatively buffered against climate warming. We tested this latter prediction using a combination of linear mixed effects and machine learning algorithms on an extensive, citizen‐scientist generated dataset on the fruitbody productivity of the Burgundy (aka summer) truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittad.), a keystone, ectomycorrhizal tree‐symbiont occurring on a wide range of temperate climates. T. aestivum's fruitbody productivity was monitored at 3‐week resolution over up to 8 continuous years at 20 sites distributed in the climatic center of its European distribution in southwest Germany and Switzerland. We found that T. aestivum fruitbody production is more sensitive to summer drought than would be expected from the breadth of its species' climatic niche. The monitored populations occurring nearly 5°C colder than the edge of their species' climatic distribution. However, interannual fruitbody productivity (truffle mass year−1) fell by a median loss of 22% for every 1°C increase in summer temperature over a site's 30‐year mean. Among the most productive monitored populations, the temperature sensitivity was even higher, with single summer temperature anomalies of 3°C sufficient to stop fruitbody production altogether. Interannual truffle productivity was also related to the phenology of host trees, with ~22 g less truffle mass for each 1‐day reduction in the length of the tree growing season. Increasing summer drought extremes are therefore likely to reduce fruiting among summer truffle populations throughout Central Europe. Our results suggest that European T. aestivum may be a mosaic of vulnerable populations, sensitive to climate‐driven declines at lower thresholds than implied by its species distribution model.
Impact of iron supplementation on gestational diabetes mellitus: A literature review

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication of pregnancy, affecting 14% of pregnancies worldwide, and the prevention of pathological hyperglycaemia during pregnancy is meaningful for global public health. The role of iron supplementation in the progression of GDM has been of significant interest in recent years. Iron is a micronutrient that is vital during pregnancy; however, given the toxic properties of excess iron, it is probable that prophylactic iron supplementation will increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including GDM. It is critical to clarify the effect of iron supplementation on the risk of GDM. Therefore, in this review, we comprehensively assess the role of iron in pregnancy. This review aimed to analyse the necessity of iron supplementation and maintenance of iron homeostasis during pregnancy, particularly reviewing the role and function of iron in beta cells and examining the mechanisms of excess iron contributing to the pathogenesis of GDM. Moreover, we aimed to discuss the association of haemoglobin and ferritin with GDM and identify priority areas for research.
Implementation of a Pediatric Neurocritical Care Program for Children With Status Epilepticus: Adherence to Continuous Electroencephalogram Monitoring

OBJECTIVES: To describe adherence to continuous electroencephalogram (cEEG) monitoring as part of a pediatric neurocritical care (PNCC) program for status epilepticus (SE). DESIGN: Retrospective review of pre- and postintervention cohorts. SETTING: A pediatric referral hospital. PATIENTS: Children admitted to the PICU for SE. INTERVENTIONS: We restructured the care delivery model to include a pediatric neurointensive care unit (neuro-ICU) and expanded the cEEG capacity. We created a criteria-based cEEG pathway. We provided education to all providers including the nursing staff. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The main outcomes were: 1) the percentages of children meeting American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) criteria who underwent cEEG monitoring and 2) the time interval between PICU arrival and cEEG initiation. PICU admissions with the diagnosis of SE from May 2017 to December 2017 served as the baseline, which was compared with the same periods in 2018 to 2020 (PNCC era). There were 60 admissions in the pre-PNCC period (2017), 111 in 2018, 118 in 2019, and 108 in 2020. The percentages of admissions from each period that met ACNS criteria for cEEG monitoring were between 84% and 97%. In the pre-PNCC era, 22 of 52 (42%) admissions meeting ACNS criteria underwent cEEG monitoring. In the PNCC era, greater than or equal to 80% of the qualified admissions underwent cEEG monitoring (74/93 [80%] in 2018, 94/115 [82%] in 2019, and 87/101 [86%] in 2020). Compared with the pre-PNCC era, the neuro-ICU had a shorter interval between PICU arrival and cEEG initiation (216 min [141–1,444 min] vs 138 min [103–211 min]). CONCLUSIONS: The implementation of a PNCC program with initiatives in care delivery, allocation of resources, and education was associated with increased adherence to best care practices for the management of SE.
