Published: August 2020

Aquatic habitats in the Canadian Arctic are expected to come under increasing stress due to projected effects of climate change. There is a need for community-based biomonitoring programs to observe and understand the effects of these stressors on the environment. Here we present results from a 5 year annual sampling program of benthic invertebrates from lakes in the Mackenzie Delta, Northwest Territories, using a rapid bioassessment protocol. Connectivity between the deltaic lakes and main channels is a major driver of lake function and is expected to be substantially impacted by climate change. Lakes were selected along a gradient of connectivity based on sill elevation above the river. Using multivariate analyses of community structure, we determined that benthic assemblages responded to differences in connection time among lakes. This response was detected using a coarse taxonomic level that could be applied by community groups or volunteers but was stronger when invertebrates were identified to the family and genus levels. A secondary gradient was observed that corresponded to productivity gradients in lakes that are isolated from the river during summer. We show that benthic assemblages have potential use as sensitive indicators of climate-mediated changes to the hydrology of lakes in the Mackenzie Delta.
Mental Health and Suicide: At the Crossroad of a Static Law
Authors: Aderibigbe Titilayo 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Historically, mental health has been clothed in secrecy in Nigeria. The mentally ill were sequestrated, disregarding their rights. Often victimized, they become suicidal without societal empathy and legal protection. Mental health law remains static, a Colonial legacy. Changing needs of society, socio-economic vicissitudes/depression affected the mental state of many Nigerians, which subsequently drove some to attempt suicide. Under the moribund Lunacy Act 1958, the Criminal and Penal Codes 2004, attempted suicide is criminalised, further exacerbating the psychological state of the suicidal. Government is reluctant to amend the Lunacy Act, along extant societal reality. This article examines the historical and social antecedents of the Lunacy Act, its relevance to mental healthcare; the socio-cultural factors impeding its amendment; and the Mental Health Act Bill. It concludes that these laws do not secure constitutionally guaranteed social responsibility of government. Nigeria has reached a crossroad. Citizens must demand that Government ensure reform of the mental health law.

AbstractAdenosine monophosphate deaminase 3 (Ampd3) encodes the erythrocyte isoform of the adenosine monophosphate (AMP) deaminase gene family. Mutations in this gene have been reported in humans, leading to autosomal-recessive erythrocyte AMP deaminase deficiency. However, the mutation is considered clinically asymptomatic. Using N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis to find mutations that affect peripheral lymphocyte populations, we identified 5 Ampd3 mutations (Ampd3guangdong, Ampd3carson, Ampd3penasco, Ampd3taos, and Ampd3commanche) that strongly correlated with a reduction in naive CD4+ T and naive CD8+ T-cell populations. Causation was confirmed by targeted ablation of Ampd3. Knockout mice had reduced frequencies of CD62LhiCD44lo CD4+ naive and CD8+ naive T cells. Interestingly, these phenotypes were restricted to T cells circulating in peripheral blood and were not seen in T cells from secondary lymphoid organs (lymph nodes and spleen). We found that reduction of naive T cells in the peripheral blood of Ampd3−/− mice was caused by T-cell–extrinsic factor(s), which we hypothesize to be elevated levels of adenosine triphosphate released by Ampd3-deficient erythrocytes. These findings provide an example in which disruption of an erythrocyte-specific protein can affect the physiological status of lymphocytes in peripheral blood.
Effect of low-dose exogenous surfactant on infants with acute respiratory distress syndrome after cardiac surgery: a retrospective analysis
Authors: Zhang Rongyuan , Wang Xu , Li Shoujun , Yan Jun 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Background
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in infants undergoing cardiac surgery is associated with significant mortality and prolonged ventilation; surfactant administration may be a useful therapy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of low-dose exogenous surfactant therapy on infants suffering ARDS after cardiac surgery.

Methods
We conducted a case-control study of infants diagnosed with moderate-to-severe ARDS (PaO2/FiO2 < 150) after cardiac surgery. A case was defined as a patient that received surfactant and standard therapy, while a control was defined as a patient that underwent standard therapy. The primary endpoint was the improvement in oxygenation index (OI) after 24-h of surfactant treatment; and secondary endpoints were the ventilator time and PICU time.

Results
Twenty-two infants treated with surfactant were matched with 22 controls. Early low-dose (20 mg/kg) surfactant treatment was associated with improved outcomes. After surfactant administration for 24-h, the surfactant group was much better compared with the control group at the 24-h in OI (difference in average change from baseline, − 6.7 [95% CI, − 9.3 to − 4.1]) (P < 0.01) and ventilation index (VI, mean difference, − 11.9 [95% CI, − 18.1 to − 5.7]) (P < 0.01). Ventilation time and PICU time were significantly shorter in the surfactant group compared with the control group (133.6 h ± 27.2 vs 218.4 h ± 28.7, P < 0.01; 10.7d ± 5.1 vs 17.5d ± 6.8, P < 0.01). Infants in the surfactant group under 3 months benefit more from OI and VI than the infants over 3 months in a preliminary exploratory analysis.

Conclusions
In infants with moderate-to-severe ARDS after cardiac surgery, early low-dose exogenous surfactant treatment could prominently improve oxygenation and reduce mechanical ventilation time and PICU time. Infants younger than 3 months may get more benefit of oxygenation than the older ones. Randomized controlled trials are needed to explore the effect of surfactant to ARDS of cardiac surgical infants.

Abstract
Background
Submucosal tumors (SMTs) of different etiologies exist from esophagus to rectum. Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is one of the known difficult locations for tumor resection. Although minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a well-established approach for gastrointestinal surgery, there is no consensus that MIS for resection of SMTs around EGJ is superior to laparotomy. We tried to clarify the factors that determine the surgeons’ choices between these two approaches.

Methods
From January 2002 to June 2016, 909 patients with SMTs underwent resection in our department. Among them, 119 patients (13%) had SMTs around EGJ were enrolled by retrospective review. The clinicopathological features and tumor-related parameters were reviewed and analyzed.

Results
The cohort was stratified into three groups according to the extent of gastrectomy and surgical approaches. The three groups are as following: major gastrectomy (n = 13), minor gastrectomy by laparotomy (n = 51), and minor gastrectomy with MIS (n = 55). The average tumor size was significantly larger in the major gastrectomy group than in the two minor gastrectomy groups; however, there was no difference between the two minor gastrectomy groups (5.33 cm, 4.07 cm, and 3.69 cm, respectively). The minor gastrectomy with MIS required least hospital stay and operation duration also. We re-stratify the two minor gastrectomy groups (n = 106) according to the orientation of SMTs around the EGJ into 4 zones. Most of SMTs located on the greater curvature side of the EGJ were resected with MIS (82% versus 18%), whereas SMTs in the other zones were resected more often by laparotomy (59% versus 41%). There was no surgical mortality within the cohort, while minor gastrectomy with MIS yielded least number of leakages among the three groups.

Conclusions
For SMTs around the EGJ, larger tumors (diameter of more than 5 cm) are more likely to be resected with major gastrectomy. To resect SMTs around the EGJ in a wedge-like (minor gastrectomy) fashion, tumors located other than the greater curvature side were more often resected by laparotomy. However, MIS yielded acceptable safety and surgical outcomes compared to conventional laparotomy for SMTs around the EGJ of the same size.

Published: August 2020

Abstract
Objective
There is no consensus on the best choice between high- and low-viscosity bone cement for percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes and leakage between three cements with different viscosities in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Methods
This is a prospective study comparing patients who were treated with PVP under local anesthesia: group A (n = 99, 107 vertebrae) with high-viscosity OSTEOPAL V cement, group B (n = 79, 100 vertebrae) with low-viscosity OSTEOPAL V cement, and group C (n = 88, 102 vertebrae) with low-viscosity Eurofix VTP cement. Postoperative pain severity was evaluated using the visual analog scale. Cement leakage was evaluated using radiography and computed tomography.

Results
There was no significant difference in the incidence of cement leakage between the three groups (group A 20.6%, group B 24.2%, group C 20.6%, P = 0.767). All three groups showed significant reduction in postoperative pain scores but did not differ significantly in pain scores at postoperative 2 days (group A 2.01 ± 0.62, group B 2.15 ± 0.33, group C 1.92 ± 0.71, P = 0.646). During the 6 months after cement implantation, significantly less reduction in the fractured vertebral body height was noticed in group B and group C than in group A (group A 19.0%, group B 8.1%, group C 7.3%, P = 0.009).

Conclusions
Low-viscosity cement has comparable incidence of leakage compared to high-viscosity cement in PVP for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. It also can better prevent postoperative loss of fractured vertebral body’s height.

PURPOSE: Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is common in advanced GI cancer, and MBO management, including drainage percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (dPEG), is palliative. How patients understand the goals of dPEG and its impact on disease is inadequately understood in the literature. Therefore, we analyzed these issues in patients with GI cancer. METHODS: Demographics, clinical variables, and patient outcomes were abstracted from the medical record. Illness understanding and future expectations were retrieved from palliative care notes. We described additional treatment and outcomes after dPEG and estimated overall survival (OS). RESULTS: From January 2015 to June 2017, 125 admitted patients with metastatic GI cancer underwent dPEG for MBO. Cancers were most commonly colorectal (34%) and pancreatic/ampullary (25%). During the dPEG admission, 32% (40 of 125) of patients had a palliative care consultation, and 22% (28 of 125) were asked about illness understanding and future expectations. All (28 of 28) reported good understanding of the advanced nature of their disease, but few were accurate about prognosis given their stage IV disease (10 of 28). Of the 117 (94%) discharged, 13% (15 of 117) received additional chemotherapy, which rarely prevented progression; half (63 of 117) had a do-not-resuscitate order; and most (101 of 117) were enrolled in hospice at death. Median time to death was 37 days (95% CI, 29 to 45 days); 6-month OS was 3.7% (95% CI, 1.2% to 8.4%). CONCLUSION: dPEGs are placed close to end of life in patients with advanced GI cancer. A minority of patients receive additional chemotherapy post-dPEG. Many have adequate disease understanding, but chemotherapy benefit is low, and future expectations vary. This may be an opportunity for improved communication regarding palliative procedures in advanced cancer.

Abstract
Physically active health care providers are more likely to provide physical activity (PA) counseling to their patients, but barriers in PA counseling exist. Common barriers include knowledge, time constraints, lack of reimbursement, as well as lack of personal habits. This article will summarize evidence-based knowledge regarding provider PA habits as a means of improving rapport, compliance, and empathy for patients when prescribing PA. Clinical pearls for successful PA counseling scenarios also will be discussed.
A Scoping Review of Multiple-modality Exercise and Cognition in Older Adults: Limitations and Future Directions
Authors: Boa Sorte Silva Narlon C. , Gill Dawn P. , Petrella Robert J. 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The effects of multiple-modality exercise (MME) on brain health warrants further elucidation. Our objectives were to report and discuss the current evidence regarding the influence of MME on cognition and neuroimaging outcomes in older adults without dementia. We searched the literature for studies investigating the effects of MME on measures of cognition, brain structure, and function in individuals 55 years or older without dementia. We include 33 eligible studies. Our findings suggested that MME improved global cognition, executive functioning, processing speed, and memory. MME also improved white and gray matter and hippocampal volumes. These findings were evident largely when compared with no-treatment control groups but not when compared with active (e.g., health education) or competing treatment groups (e.g., cognitive training). MME may improve brain health in older adults without dementia; however, because of possible confounding factors, more research is warranted.

About 85% of pollinating bees are solitary, but few are used for agricultural pollination. The Anthidiini tribe looks very promising in Brazil, in the light of ecosystem utility, but it is still a species with poorly scientific research[EdM1] . To fill this gap studies on the bionomics of this species may collaborate on future studies on use of Epanthidium tigrinum as pollinator. Presented research results aims to describe the bionomy and the biological cycle of the bee E. tigrinum (SCHROTTKY, 1905) in pre-existing cavities. Conventional trap-nests inserted in wooden blocks were placed in covered spaces and daily observations of spontaneous nesting as well as individually tagged bees and nests incubated in B.O.D. were carried out during 11 months in Fortaleza-CE. The results showed that the competition with other species of bees for the pre-existing cavities and the lack of food resources or nest building materials are limiting factors for the establishment of E. tigrinum populations. However, once these problems were remedied, the bees showed multivoltine behavior, nesting throughout the experimental period. Data from 16 nests studied showed that bee foraging began on average at 7:50 a.m., foragers collected pollen in the morning and resin in the afternoon, took on average 15 days to complete a nest and there was a negative correlation with the temperature for the number of nests and for the number of cells constructed. The offspring took 43 days for the emergency, presented sexual ratio of 1.2: 1 (n = 66 emerged bees) and a mortality rate of 18.5%. The number of nests constructed per female ranged from 1 to 4 with an average size of 7.97 mm. It is concluded that E. tigrinum shows potential to rational rearing in trap nests aiming crop pollination. [EdM1]

We examine the impact of illumination, aperture, and sample thickness on two division-of-focal-plane (DoFP) polarimeters, one created using a standard 3 T pixel and the other with a forward-biased, logarithmic pixel. Across all measured metrics the logarithmic DoFP polarimeter was better able to track real-time changes in collagen alignment than the standard DoFP polarimeter.
Función de la crítica inmediata

Published: August 2020

El presente artículo reflexiona sobre la crítica inmediata y generalista, aquella de los suplementos culturales de periódicos, con el afán de desvelar algunos de los distintos límites, funciones y deberes del crítico literario, entre otros, el lugar desde dónde se escribe, la identificación del público o su función periodística. Para ello se hace hincapié en una serie de condicionantes que gravitan sobre el crítico, en especial, el sentido y posibilidades de su propia crítica enmarcada ésta en una crisis crónica financiera y de modelo de la prensa escrita. La asunción de riesgo intelectual y la aceptación de una responsabilidad primordial por parte del crítico pasa por redefinir el panorama de lo contemporáneo.

This article aims to revitalize the phylosophy of Malay motif ornament in the design of woven gedebong. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with ethnographic approach. The data were collected through observation, interview and documentation. There were four motifs used to revitalize and develop philosophical of Malay culture in the design of woven gedebong, they were flora, fauna, natural and wajik motifs. Firstly, flora motifs ornaments are from lined up flower (bunga berjajar), reap flower (bunga tampuk manggis), single florets (kuntum bujang), gundur florets, cloudy florets (kuntum awan larat), eartquake motion flower (bunga gerak gempa) on the handicraft of pencil case, cake box, skewer, kleenex box. Secondly, fauna motifs ornaments are from dragon (naga-nagaan) ant (semut beriring), twinned pigeon (merpati sekawan), return home duckling (itik pulang petang) on the handicrafts of sandal, kleenex box, and hat. Thirdly, outer space buih selari on the handicraft of astray. And lastly, Wajik motif are from portion form wajik (wajik petak tabur) and similar title of princess wajik (wajik payung sekaki tajuk puteri) on the handicraft of bag and stationery box. The philosophical local wisdom values of Malay ornaments are the values of good behaviours, taqwa (faith) to Allah, harmony, wisdom, heroic, affection, fertility, self-knowing, fair, responsibility. The result showed that there are some Malay motif ornaments used to develop in the woven gedebong that can be useful to revitalize the Malay philosophical of local wisdom values.
