Authors: Kim Beomjun , Moon Seok Woo
Published: October 2020

Objective The correlation among the thyroid-related hormones, Apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4) and cognitive function has been reported despite controversial results. This study was designed to investigate this correlation among cognitively-normal elderly dwellers.Methods This study assessed 507 cognitively normal individuals aged over 60 who underwent comprehensive hematological and neuropsychological assessments including the quantification of serum free thyroxine and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) as well as the Korean version of the Consortium Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s disease. The Korean version of Geriatric Depression Scale was also employed to evaluate the severity of depression. Age, gender, education, and the presence of APOE ε4 were taken into account as covariates.Results There was a significant positive association between verbal fluency test (VFT), Word List Memory Test (WLMT), and Word List Recall Test (WLRT) score and serum TSH levels (p=0.007, 0.031, and 0.023 respectively). The further analysis adding the interaction between APOE ε4 and TSH level, however, revealed only VFT score was significantly influenced by this interaction (p=0.026).Conclusion Lower serum TSH levels had impacts on both semantic memory (VFT) and episodic memory (WLMT, WLRT) among cognitively-normal elderly, whereas the interaction of TSH and APOE ε4 influenced only the task of semantic memory (VFT) in this group.

Authors: Gaafar Sh. , Hanafy T. , Morshedy S. El , Mansour H.
Published: October 2020

Purpose: This randomized controlled trial is aiming to compare the clinical pregnancy rate of immediate versus delayed post thawing embryo transfer in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 150 FET cycles in which embryos were vitrified on day 2 or 3. After thawing, cases with more than 50% blastomere loss were excluded as well as cases with recurrent implantation. The endometrium was prepared by programmed estrogen/progesterone method. After thawing, cases were randomized to immediate embryo transfer or extended culture for 18-72 hours before transfer. Results: Number of cryopreserved embryos and survival rates were similar in both groups. Survival rates was above 95% in both groups and in the extended culture group 72.1% of embryos resumed miosis. Clinical pregnancy rate was 50.7% in immediate transfer group and 41.3% in the extended culture group. Conclusion: Extended culture after thawing helps in embryo selection but does not increase clinical pregnancy rate.

Authors: Alqahtani Ali S.
Published: October 2020

Dengue virus (DENV) is one of the most serious arthropod-borne viruses. This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of the virus in Najran, a city in the south west of Saudi Arabia. Four hundred and ten paired maternal and umbilical serum samples were obtained from mothers and their newborn infants. The samples were tested for the presence of IgG antibodies by ELISA. Anti-DENV IgG antibodies were detected in 31 maternal samples (7.6%), while all newborn samples were negative. All maternal seropositive samples were negative when tested by PCR. These results are further indication that DENV is endemic in Saudi Arabia and enhanced DENV surveillance is necessary.
Bilateral borderline ovarian cystadenoma with migration of intrauterine device to right ovary accompanied with endometrial carcinoma in situ: a case report
Authors: Zhu G. , Liu S.J. , Lv W.
Published: October 2020

Synchronous bilateral borderline ovarian cystadenoma and endometrial cancer are rare in clinical practice which could easily cause some confusion in the diagnosis of primary tumor lesions. On the other hand, it is common for the intrauterine device (IUD) to migrate to the uterine muscle wall, pelvic cavity, abdominal cavity, intestinal canal and broad ligament etc. However, IUD migration to the ovary is rare. In this paper, a case of bilateral borderline ovarian cystadenoma with migration of IUD into the right ovary accompanied with endometrial carcinoma in situ is first reported.

Authors: Elmahdy M. , Elfourtia I. , Maghraby H.
Published: October 2020

Objective: To assess the management and outcome of office hysteroscopy in patients experiencing recurrent implantation failure (RIF) with two or more intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failures. Study design: The prospective study was conducted at Elshatby maternity university hospital and Misrata National Center for Infertility, Misrata, Libya. One hundred and seventy-five female patients aged below 40 years and with 2 or more previous ICSI failures, with ≥ 2 fresh embryos transferred per attempt were included in the study. Office hysteroscopy was done in all patients to assess the endometrial cavity for any abnormal uterine findings and clinical pregnancy rate after hysteroscopy was evaluated. At the end of hysteroscopy, endometrial biopsy was done to observe prevalence of any different inflammatory cells, plasma cells or lymphocytes. Results: Out of 175 patients, 135 had abnormal hysteroscopic findings with single and combined pathologies. Endometritis 43 (65%) and septum with endometritis 34 (49%) were the most common pathologies observed. After office hysteroscopy, 13 (19.6%) women with single pathology and 13 (18.8%) women with combined pathologies became pregnant. Of the 175 patients studied, pregnancies occurred in 33 (18.8%) women with two or more ICSI failures after corrected endometrial pathology by hysteroscopy. Conclusion: Office hysteroscopy is a good diagnostic and therapeutic tool in cases of recurrent implantation failure. It has the potential to improve pregnancy rate in these patients.
From ‘Nations’ to ‘Archontias’ (I) ‘Sclavinia’ and ‘Sclavoarchontia’: Terms and Chronology
Authors: Stoykov Stoyko
Published: October 2020

This article deals with the terms ‘Sclavinia’ and ‘Sclavoarchontia’, which are used in historiography in different and even contradictory ways, and aims to clarify a highly complicated topic, investigating the ways these terms were used by contemporaries, trying to define differences between them and connecting their use with the political changes of the time. Topics discussed include the chronology of the terms’ usage, different ways in which they were being used, relations of ‘Sclavinia’ and ‘Sclavoarchontia’ with the Empire, their appearance and disappearance and the political processes connected with it, as well as the analysis of the existing interpretations. The first part mostly discusses chronology and some existing hypotheses. The second (and the main) part analyses the way these terms were used and tries to define them.

The hypothesis presented connects these terms with the re-establishing of imperial authority in the Balkans, marked in the sources by replacing the term ‘Slavic nations’, which had been used until the late 8 century to denote the independent Balkan Slavic societies and their lands. The Empire lacked the capacity for direct subjugation of the independent Slavic communities and was forced to rely on complicated measures including colonization and ensuring Slav cooperation in the process. In the themes where the Empire had enough power, Slavic communities were organized as ‘Sclavoarchontias’, who received archons from the strategos, paid collective tribute and served as symahoi, but kept some inner autonomy. The Empire also tended to ensure the cooperation of Slavic communities around themes by granting titles and subsidies to some powerful Slavic leaders, which led to the creation of client states known as ‘Sclavinias’. They were not part of the thematic system, they had their native and hereditary leaders recognized and affirmed by the emperor by titles and seals and act as imperial allies. A prototype of both had appeared at the end of the 7th c., but only when relations of such types had multiplied after Stauracius’ expedition in 783, corresponding generic terms appeared and became regular.

Authors: Kerrigan Dennis J. , Brawner Clinton A. , Keteyian Steven J. , Murdy David C. , Ehrman Jonathan K.
Published: October 2020

Background: The objective of this analysis was to describe weight loss results at 12 months of a clinical weight management program in which patients selected their treatment preference.

Methods: 3,007 patients (mean ± SD; age = 50 ± 12 years, body mass index = 42 ± 8 kg·m−2, 80% female, 51% black) enrolled in the program at Henry Ford Hospital self-selected a 1,200 to 2,000 kcals hypocaloric, 1,000 to 1,500 kcals low calorie, or 500 to 900 kcals very low calorie meal plan. Meal plans were instructed by a dietitian and the low calorie and very low calorie meal plans incorporated the use of commercial meal replacements. Regular biweekly appointments were conducted by a clinical exercise physiologist. Program termination was at the patient's discretion. Change in body weight was analyzed at 12 months by linear mixed modeling and using the baseline observation carried forward method with repeated measure analysis of variance.

Results: Average program participation was 5 months. Based on an intent-to-treat linear mixed modeling, the very low calorie group had the greatest 12-month weight loss (−13.9 ± 1.0 kg), followed by the low calorie and hypocaloric groups (−9.5 ± 0.6 and −6.0 ± 0.4 kg, respectively; P < 0.05 for both low calorie and hypocaloric vs very low calorie plan). The baseline observation carried forward analysis also demonstrated significant weight loss in all groups at 12 months.

Conclusion: In this real-world weight management program setting of patients who self-selected a meal plan and length of participation, both very low calorie and low calorie plans resulted in more weight loss at 12 months than the hypocaloric plan.

Top-down inference in the auditory system: Potential roles for corticofugal projections
Authors: Asilador Alexander R. , Llano Daniel Adolfo
Published: October 2020

It has become widely accepted that humans use contextual information to infer the meaning of ambiguous acoustic signals. In speech, for example, high-level semantic, syntactic or lexical information shape our understanding of a phoneme buried in noise. Most current theories to explain this phenomenon rely on hierarchical predictive coding models involving a set of Bayesian priors emanating from high-level brain regions (e.g., prefrontal cortex) that are used to influence processing at lower-levels of the sensory hierarchy (e.g., auditory cortex). As such, virtually all proposed models to explain top-down facilitation are focused on the cerebral cortex, and consequently subcortical nuclei have scarcely been discussed in this context. However, subcortical auditory nuclei receive massive, heterogeneous and cascading descending projections at every level of the sensory hierarchy, and activation of these systems has been shown to improve speech recognition. It is not yet clear whether or how top-down modulation to resolve ambiguous sounds calls upon these corticofugal projections. Here, we review the literature on top-down modulation in the auditory system, primarily focused on humans and cortical imaging/recording methods, and attempt to relate these findings to a growing animal literature, which has primarily been focused on corticofugal projections. We argue that corticofugal pathways contain the requisite circuitry to implement predictive coding mechanisms to facilitate perception of complex sounds and that top-down modulation at early stages of processing complements modulation at later (i.e., cortical) stages of processing. Finally, we suggest experimental approaches for future studies on this topic.

We first introduce a game-theory infused understanding of norms and metanorms evolution and how agent-based models are used to simulate and analyze the emergency of normative phenomena. Then we argue that this method is in line with the cultural behavior analysis approach to the evolution of culture, offering a common framework for further theoretical and heuristic developments for researchers in the field. We proceed by outlining Axelrod´s Metanorms Model, followed by a tutorial on its implementation with NetLogo programming language. Finally, two experiments are carried out using this framework, and the implications of the results, along with future direction of research, are discussed from a Skinnerian perspective.
The effect of crowd removal on goal scoring in professional football
Authors: Harris David , Wilson Mark , Vine Samuel James
Published: October 2020

In the present work we sought to use the rare opportunity to compare professional sport without a crowd with typical performance from previous seasons. We focused on the English Premier League as, anecdotally, there appears to have been an increase in goal scoring. Our primary aims were to: 1) determine whether more goals are in fact being scored; and 2) if so, further explore whether any performance data can indicate why this might be the case.
Universality and cultural specificity in the emotion perception from touch
Authors: Oya Rika , Tanaka Akihiro
Published: October 2020

Can people communicate distinct emotions by touch? Previous studies in Western cultures have indicated that certain emotions could be perceived above the chance level when an encoder conveys emotions by touching a decoder's arm. However, the perception of emotions from touch has not been investigated in Japan, where it is uncommon to use touch as a method of daily communication. Therefore, we conducted an experiment with Japanese participants, which was nearly identical to previous studies with non-Japanese people. Results indicated that anger, love, and gratitude were categorized above chance, and fear, disgust, surprise, envy, and sympathy could also be accurately recognized above chance at a less detailed level such as pleasant or unpleasant, and aroused or non-aroused. These findings suggest universality and differences between Japanese and Westerners regarding the perception of emotions by touch.
Is baseline pupil size related to cognitive ability? Yes (under proper lighting conditions).
Authors: Tsukahara Jason S. , Engle Randall W
Published: October 2020

There has been some controversy as to whether baseline pupil size is related to individual differences in cognitive ability. Previously, we had shown that a larger baseline pupil size was associated with higher cognitive ability. Importantly, we had shown that the correlation to fluid intelligence was larger than that to working memory capacity (Tsukahara et al., 2016). However, other researchers have not been able to replicate our findings – though they only measured working memory capacity and not fluid intelligence. Many of the studies showing no relationship had major methodological issues, namely small baseline pupil size values – down to the physiological minimum – that resulted in reduced variability on baseline pupil size. We conducted two large-scale studies to investigate how different lighting conditions affects baseline pupil size values and the correlation with cognitive abilities. We found that fluid intelligence, working memory capacity, and attention control did correlate with baseline pupil size except in the brightest lighting conditions. We showed that a reduced variability in baseline pupil size values is due to the monitor settings being too bright. Overall, our findings demonstrated that the baseline pupil size – working memory capacity relationship was not as strong or robust as that with fluid intelligence or attention control. Our findings have strong methodological implications for researchers investigating individual differences in task-free or task-evoked pupil size. We conclude that fluid intelligence does correlate with baseline pupil size and that this is related to the functional organization of the resting-state brain through the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system.
Is This Going to Be on The Test? Test Expectancy Moderates the Disfluency Effect with Sans Forgetica
Authors: Geller Jason , Peterson Daniel
Published: October 2020

Presenting information in a perceptually disfluent format sometimes enhances memory. Recent work examining one type of perceptual disfluency manipulation, Sans Forgetica typeface, has yielded discrepant findings; some studies find support for the idea that the disfluent typeface improves memory while others do not. The current study examined a boundary condition that determines when disfluency is and is not beneficial to learning to explore this discrepancy. Specifically, we investigated whether knowledge about an upcoming test (high test expectancy) versus not (low test expectancy) helps clarify when mnemonic benefits arise for perceptually disfluent stimuli. In Experiment 1 (preregistered, N = 231), we found that Sans Forgetica is a memory-improving desirable difficulty, but only when there was no expectation of a final test. In Experiment 2 (preregistered N = 232), we conceptually replicated the Sans Forgetica effect using a cued recall test. In Experiment 3 (preregistered, N = 232), we ruled out a time-on-task explanation while replicating the results of Experiment 2. Though these data provide some evidence of San Forgetica’s mnemonic benefits, caution should be taken in interpreting these results. Not only were the effect sizes moderate, but low test expectancy may not be realistically achievable in actual educational contexts. Though more research is warranted, we echo our prior arguments (Geller et al., 2020) that students wanting to remember more and forget less should stick to other, more empirically supported desirable difficulties.
r2mlm: An R Package Calculating R-Squared Measures for Multilevel Models
Authors: Shaw Mairead , Rights Jason D. , Sterba Sonya K. , Flake Jessica Kay
Published: October 2020

Multilevel models are used ubiquitously in the social and behavioural sciences and effect sizes are critical for contextualizing results. A general framework of R-squared effect size measures for multilevel models has only recently been developed. Rights and Sterba (2019) distinguished each source of explained variance for each possible kind of outcome variance. Though researchers have long desired a comprehensive and coherent approach to computing R-squared measures for multilevel models, the use of this framework has a steep learning curve. The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce and demonstrate using a new R package – r2mlm – that automates the intensive computations involved in implementing the framework and provides accompanying graphics to visualize all multilevel R-squared measures together. We use accessible illustrations with open data and code to demonstrate how to use and interpret the R package output.
The Two Growth Rates of the Economy
Authors: Adamou Alexander , Berman Yonatan , Peters Ole
Published: October 2020

Economic growth is measured as the rate of relative change in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. Yet, when incomes follow random multiplicative growth, the ensemble-average (GDP per capita) growth rate is higher than the time-average growth rate achieved by each individual in the long run. This mathematical fact is the starting point of ergodicity economics. Using the atypically high ensemble-average growth rate as the principal growth measure creates an incomplete picture. Policymaking would be better informed by reporting both ensemble-average and time-average growth rates. We analyse rigorously these growth rates and describe their evolution in the United States and France over the last fifty years. The difference between the two growth rates gives rise to a natural measure of income inequality, equal to the mean logarithmic deviation. Despite being estimated as the average of individual income growth rates, the time-average growth rate is independent of income mobility. (Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality Working Paper)

Authors: Sigdel Brihaspati , Sapkota Shabal
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Frontonasal fracture and concomitant craniofacial injuries carry the significant potential for mortality and morbidity mainly in young adults. This study analyses the characteristics of frontonasal injuries and associated facial injuries, the management option, and its outcome.

Methods: This retrospective study was performed at the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery and Neurosurgery, Gandaki Medical College, Pokhara, Nepal. Patients who had undergone surgery for cranial and midline facial bone fracture between January 2018 to June 2020 were included in this study. The variable examined were age, sex, alcohol consumption, any chronic diseases, time from accident to surgery, duration of hospitalization, and postoperative complication. Continuous variables were expressed as mean± standard deviation, and categorical variables were expressed as number or percentage. All analyses were performed using SPSS software 26.0.

Results: The majority of patients were in the 3rd to 4th decade (67.1%). The most common cause was Road traffic accidents 45(59.2%). Twenty Five (32.9%) patients had consumed alcohol at the time of the accident. Among midline anterior fracture most common finding was nasal bone fracture 42(55.3%). Frontal bone fracture was seen in 9(11.8%) cases. Closed reduction of nasal bone was performed in 43(56.58%) cases. Craniotomy and elevation of depressed frontal bone was done in 10.53% of cases.

Conclusion: Road traffic accidents were found to be the commonest mode of frontonasal trauma and males in young adult age group were the most common victim. The most common injuries were nasal bone fracture which was managed by closed reduction.
