Authors: Pham Minhhieu , Tuan Do Van , Kien Nguyen Trung , Hung Chu Duc , Long Le Duy 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Electric vehicles are gradually replacing traditional cars because of their superiority in not emitting exhaust gases into the environment during operation. The most essential and heat-sensitive part of an EV is the battery. It is therefore essential to construct a temperature control mechanism for the battery module. This study employs a liquid cooling system for the research of lithium-ion battery modules. The simulation investigates how variations in the cooling channel’s width, height, and inflow velocity impact the thermal performance of a 24-cell battery configuration with surrounding cooling channels. The cooling channel’s maximum temperature and temperature differential are maintained below 302 K and 5 K when the inflow velocity is greater than 0.15 m/s. The channel diameter is 3 mm, which optimizes space utilization while ensuring optimal cooling. Furthermore, a channel height of 62 mm provides consistent cooling across all areas of the cell. With the increase of the inlet velocity, channel width, and height, the heat dissipation performance of the battery module has improved quite a lot, but the impact on pump consumption has not been considered.

Authors: Fan Yu , Huang Weian , Liu Yang , Zhang Ying , Zhao Yunhai 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
To address the insufficient temperature resistance of key additives in oil-based drilling fluids, a high-temperature resistant modified oxidized asphalt filtrate reducer was prepared using asphalt as the main raw material. The structure of the modified product was characterized by FTIR and SEM. The filtrate reduction effect of the modified asphalt was evaluated under different dosages and temperatures. The results showed that with an increase in modified asphalt dosage, the HTHP filtrate loss decreased from 5.6 mL to 2.7 mL. Although the HTHP filtrate loss increased from 3.8 mL to 5.6 mL with an increasing temperature at the same concentration, the growth rate under high-temperature conditions was only 12%, demonstrating excellent filtrate loss reduction performance.

Abstract
Global land cover has changed during the past decades, influencing biogeochemical cycles and the global climate system. This study aimed to improve understanding of global land cover dynamics to enable more effective future land management practices and conservation actions. This study quantified interannual changes in global land cover types from 2001 to 2020 and distinguished intermittent transitions from stable gains and losses. From the interannual perspective, we found that global barren lands, forests, shrublands, and snow-covered areas decreased by 5281, 1804, 952, and 188 kha yr−1, respectively. In contrast, grasslands, croplands, urban areas, and water bodies increased at 6529, 1407, 237, and 51 kha yr−1, respectively, from 2001 to 2020. According to the definitions provided in this paper, of the global forest areas, 75% was Stable (no change), 4% was Gain, 5% was Loss, and 16% was Unstable. Of the cropland areas, 56% was Stable, 9% was Gain, 9% was Loss, and 26% was Unstable. Hotspots for forest loss were Brazil, the Rest of South America, and Sub-Saharan Africa, and grassland was the most common land cover classification following forest loss. The global cropland expansion hotspots were Brazil, Canada, China, India, and the Rest of South America. The cropland gains were mainly converted from grasslands. On the other hand, barren areas in China and Middle Eastern and North Africa were changed to grasslands. A certain amount of shrublands were changed to forest in temperate regions. This paper provided land cover changes at a 500 m spatial resolution as a benchmark for future assessments. The findings showed that unstable pixels play an important role in determining the sources of uncertainty when assessing land cover changes using satellite data. Land cover assessments are sensitive to the time steps used for analysis and the definition of changes.

Abstract

AIM
The aim was to advance the development of a conceptual model derived from findings of a research study that articulated how nurse educators translate and transfer nursing knowledge into experiential teaching strategies.

BACKGROUND
Brain science teaching and learning is successful because the learning encounter is focused on guiding learners on how to use content. Educator preparation grounded in neuroscience strategies facilitates a shift from teaching in mind to learning in mind.

METHOD
Conceptual model development included blending evidence from research and principles from educational theory, resulting in the Nurse Educator Teaching for Learning in Mind model.

RESULTS
Preparing educators to teach requires a clear understanding of coming to the learning space with learning in mind. Creation of a safe learning space included communication, shared vulnerability, transparency, and intentionality.

CONCLUSION
This evidence-based conceptual model offers direction for next steps in operationalizing best educational practices in nurse educator preparation and development.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE
To estimate the increase in length of stay and cost of illness of pressure injuries (PIs) in the inpatient area of a socio-health center.

METHODS
This was a retrospective cohort study that included a consecutive sampling of patients admitted to the inpatient programs of a socio-healthcare center between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2018. Data were retrospectively extracted from patients’ electronic health records.

RESULTS
During the study period 4,062 patients were admitted to the different hospitalization programs. The patients’ mean age was 75.34 ± 13.69 years, and 51.2% of them were men. Of these, 1,421 patients had PIs, and 318 patients had to prolong their hospital stay due to PIs. These 318 patients were admitted 12,089 days longer (mean of 38.01 ± 41.49 days per patient) than patients without a PI, representing an expense of €1,381,006 (US $1,430,722). The cost of illness in the period under study was estimated at €1,922,049 (US $1,991,212). The average cost of PI treatment per patient was €1,352.60 ± €3,351.43 (US $1,401.29 ± $3,472.08), and the average cost of treatment until complete resolution of a PI was €2,064.65 ± €4,282.48 (US $1,470.79 ± $4,436.65). The cost of treatment ranged from €1,419.68 ± €3,100.47 (US $2,138.98 ± $3,212.09) for stage 1 PIs to €6,299.31 ± €10,000.57 (US $6,526.08 ± $10,360.59) for stage 4 PIs.

CONCLUSIONS
This study highlights the significant health and economic impacts of PIs in the inpatient area of a socio-health center. The findings emphasize the necessity of effective prevention strategies to mitigate the occurrence of PIs and their associated costs. By understanding the financial burden of PIs, healthcare providers and policymakers can make informed decisions to improve resource allocation, enhance patient care, and reduce financial strain on the healthcare system.
The True Cost of Late Presentation in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A 5-Year Follow-up Study
Authors: Nadler Emma B. , Kim Dorothy J. , Lebel David E. , Dermott Jennifer A. 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most prevalent pediatric spinal condition. During growth, moderate scoliosis is treated with a brace to minimize the risk of progression to the surgical range. However, a minority of patients meet brace indications, with a greater number presenting late, already appropriate for surgery. This study determines the treatment cost differential between brace candidates and late-presenting patients within a public health care setting.

Methods:
This is a retrospective review of 373 consecutive AIS patients seen for initial consultation in 2014 and followed for 5 years, with a cost-analysis of the 166 patients that either met brace indications (n=63) or presented late (n=103). Patients meeting the Scoliosis Research Society’s brace indications presented with a coronal curve magnitude between 25 and 40 degrees inclusive and were skeletally immature with a Risser ≤2. Late-presenting patients had coronal curve magnitudes of ≥50 degrees (n=73) or were presented with coronal curve magnitudes of >40 degrees and were skeletally immature with Risser ≤2 (n=30). Total treatment cost was estimated for 3 scenarios: (1) use of predetermined cut points for treatment prescription, (2) real-world approximation reflecting actual, nuanced clinical decision-making, and (3) the ideal situation, such that all late patients were instead seen as brace candidates.

Results:
Each patient who was prescribed a brace and avoided progression to the surgical range saved $23,000 in treatment costs. Eliminating late presentation of AIS would save at least $2 to $3 million per year at a single institution.

Conclusion:
Significant cost savings can be found by optimizing the number of patients treated with a brace and minimizing the number of patients that present late as likely surgical candidates. This study provides financial impetus for early AIS detection, decreasing the number of avoidable surgeries. Scoliosis screening recommendations in primary care should be re-examined, alongside the development of educational tools, equipping primary care providers, and youth and their caregivers with appropriate knowledge on how to identify AIS.

Level of Evidence:
Level III—retrospective comparative study.
Correction of upper eyelid retraction following ptosis surgery using Hering’s law: A case report
Authors: Pang Runhui , Liu Zhaochuan , Wang Huixing , Wang Juan , Shi Junhu , Xiao Li , Bai Ping 
Published: February 2025

Rationale:
Blepharoptosis is a common disorder characterized by abnormal eyelid position that affects both visual function and esthetics. Postoperative upper eyelid retraction, which is often due to overcorrection, is a major problem. Under normal circumstances, the operation is usually performed on the overcorrected eye. Here, we present the case of a patient who had previously undergone surgery to correct right upper blepharoplasty, which resulted in asymmetry. Utilizing Hering’s law, we decided to correct only the left eye, resulting in remarkable bilateral symmetry after surgery. This proves that for patients with ptosis after upper eyelid surgery, a comprehensive approach should be considered rather than just one treatment method.

Patient concerns:
Here, we report a case of overcorrection of ptosis in a male patient who underwent corrective surgery.

Diagnoses:
Based on the patient’s ocular examination, appearance, medical history, measurement of levator muscle strength, and MRD1 measurement, the diagnosis was postoperative overcorrection of ptosis of the right upper eyelid.

Interventions:
In this case, preoperative examination revealed a reduction in the size of the right eye when the left eyelid was lifted, which was in accordance with Hering’s law. Consequently, surgical intervention was limited to the left eye, resulting in excellent bilateral symmetry after surgery.

Outcomes:
The surgery was successful and resulted in symmetry between both eyes. We followed up with the patient for a year and he was extremely satisfied with the surgical results. The outpatient follow-up revealed no discomfort.

Lessons:
Postoperative upper eyelid retraction following monocular ptosis correction is a rare condition. The conventional treatment approach typically involves reoperation on the affected eye. However, considering the importance of Hering’s law in the management of ptosis, excellent outcomes were achieved in this case through surgery on the contralateral, unaffected eye. When treating a patient, the operation should be tailored to their specific condition.
The role of thiol/disulfide homeostasis in unexplained primary infertile patients: A prospective cohort study
Authors: Aksin Şerif , Yilmaz Mehmet 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Our study aims to investigate whether there is a relationship by measuring the total oxidant/antioxidant load with the thiol/disulfide method in patients with unexplained infertility.

Methods:
A total of 82 participants were enrolled, consisting of 41 women with unexplained infertility and 41 fertile controls matched for age and body mass index (BMI). Hormonal profiles, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin, were assessed using the chemiluminescence immunoassay method. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis was evaluated using a validated automated spectrophotometric method, which measured native thiol (NT), total thiol (TT), and disulfide levels. Detailed quality control measures ensured the reliability of the results.

Results:
In the study, no significant difference was found between the infertile and fertile groups’ demographic (age) and clinical variables in terms of height, weight, BMI, FSH, LH, E2, TSH, prolactin, antral follicle count, TT, NT, and disulfide values (P > .05). The rates were found to be greater in the infertile group in disulfide/NT ratio and disulfide/TT ratio compared to the fertile group, even though there was no statistically significant difference between the groups’ disulfide/NT ratio, disulfide/TT ratio, and NT/TT ratio values. The fertile group, however, had a higher NT/TT ratio rate.

Conclusion:
Although the unexplained infertility and fertile groups in the study did not differ in serum thiol and disulfide levels, the infertile group was found to have a relatively high disulfide/thiol ratio. More prospective studies on thiol/disulfide balance related to unexplained infertility may help to understand the relationship.

Authors: Yalçin Onur , Açak Mahmut , Kurtoğlu Ahmet , Eken Özgür , Bayer Ramazan , Aldhahi Monira I. 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Basketball is an important sport that utilizes a variety of biomotor skills. Diverse training programs are employed to enhance the biomotor attributes and elevate the performance levels of basketball players. Plyometric training (PT) is frequently used to improve athlete performance. However, different models of PT can yield varying effects on athletic performance.

Methods:
This study aimed to determine the impact of a PT program named “Air Alert” on athletes’ biomotor skills. Twenty-four basketball players aged 15 to 16 years voluntarily participated in the study. The participants were randomly assigned to 2 groups: the Air Alert plyometric training group (AIR) (n = 12) and the plyometric training group (n = 12). The AIR was trained 3 days a week, while the plyometric training group was trained 2 days a week for 15 weeks. Pre- and posttest measurements of height (cm), body weight (kg), vertical jump, line agility, 20 m sprint, Illinois agility, repeated sprint, and flamingo balance tests were performed for all participants.

Results:
There were no significant differences in height (cm) (F = 1.035, P = .320, ηp2 = .045), weight (F = 1.735, P = .201, ηp2 = .073), and BMI measurements (F = 1.376, P = .253, ηp2 = .059) within and between groups. However, significant differences were observed between the groups in vertical jump (F = 14.343, P = .001, ηp2 = .395), line agility (F = 75.366, P = .000, ηp2 = .774), 20 m sprint (F = 93.001, P = .000, ηp2 = .809), balance (F = 59.513, P = .000, ηp2 = .730), Illinois agility test (F = 143.243, P = .000, ηp2 = .867), and repeated sprint test (F = 140.986, P = .000, ηp2 = .865).

Conclusion:
The results of this study indicate that the AIR program is more effective in enhancing the biomotor skills of basketball players than other plyometric training programs. Based on these results, it is recommended that coaches who aim to develop training strategies to enhance athletic performance should consider incorporating an Air Alert program.
Disputing and challenging academic procrastination behaviors in students using REBT approach
Authors: Amoke Chijioke Virgilus , Ede Moses Onyemaechi , Mawila-Chauke Daphney , Obeagu Ifeanyi Emmanuel 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Procrastination consists of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive components. It is behavioral when someone frequently delays starting or finishing a task. The cognitive aspect of procrastination involves the difference between goals and behavior. Students often postpone completing tasks that they are required to finish, which negatively impacts their academic performance. The goal of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) is to address the dysfunctional behavioral, emotional, and cognitive components of procrastination. This study was conducted based on that premise.

Methods:
The study utilized a quasi-experimental design. A sample size of 128 students from secondary schools participated using the Gpower method and were assigned to 2 groups. Academic procrastination behaviors and irrational beliefs associated with these behaviors were assessed using procrastination and irrational beliefs scales. After an initial screening, a 12-session intervention program was implemented.

Results:
The study found that the REBT intervention significantly reduced participants’ academic procrastination behaviors. Furthermore, 3 months after the intervention, the participants’ academic procrastination remained significantly lower. Participants who received REBT had lower mean academic procrastination ratings posttreatment compared to the control group.

Conclusion:
These results indicate that rational emotive behavioral therapy effectively reduces procrastination in educational settings. Future research should focus on investigating the clinical significance of rational emotive behavioral therapy across different cultures using larger and more diverse populations. Additionally, future studies should examine the therapeutic benefits of rational emotive behavioral therapy across cultural boundaries.

Published: February 2025

Objectives:
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a pancreatic manifestation of IgG4-related disease which is complicated by extra-pancreatic lesions such as IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis. The appropriate biliary drainage method and period for type 1 AIP remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the usefulness and safety of endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) for type 1 AIP in patients with jaundice.

Methods:
This study enrolled 83 patients with type 1 AIP who underwent steroid therapy who underwent evaluation of contrast material outflow to the jejunum using cholangiography. The ENBD was removed when the contrast material outflowed into the duodenum; an endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS) was performed if it did not outflow.

Results:
Cholangiography and pancreatography were achieved in 83 (100%) and 77 (93%) patients, respectively. Liver function parameters were significantly decreased after ENBD. Bile juice cytology using ENBD revealed no evidence of malignancy. Two (2%) patients developed mild pancreatitis following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed in 56 (67%) patients. ENBD was removed in 75 (90%) patients; EBS was performed in 8 (10%). Multivariate regression analysis showed pancreatic focal enlargement (OR=12.06, 95% CI: 1.28–113.62, P=0.03) as an independent risk factor for EBS.

Conclusions:
Although ENBD causes discomfort and the risk of self-removal, it differentiates AIP from malignant tumors, evaluates steroid effects using real-time cholangiography, and reduces the number of required ERCP procedures. ENBD could be one of the drainage options for type 1 AIP, depending on patients’ background.

SIGNIFICANCE
Significant associations in the epidemiologic and clinical features between migraine and dry eye syndrome suggest that both conditions are comorbid. A potentially overlapping pathophysiological mechanism further indicates a connection between the two conditions. This study highlights the clinical implications of treating dry eye disease on migraine.

PURPOSE
This study aimed to investigate the impact on migraine severity of treating dry eye disease in migraine patients using ocular lubricants.

METHODS
A randomized, double-masked, crossover trial was conducted on 24 participants with both migraine and dry eye disease. They received either Systane Hydration UD (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX) or saline eye drops (NeilMed, Santa Rosa, CA) four times per day for 4 weeks each, with a 2-week washout period between treatments. Migraine severity was assessed using the Headache Impact Test 6 (HIT-6) and Migraine Disability Assessment questionnaires. Dry eye disease was evaluated using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), Dry Eye Questionnaire 5 (DEQ-5), tear breakup time, tear osmolarity, and corneal surface integrity. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after using the first and then second drops.

RESULTS
Ocular lubrication was significantly associated with reduced migraine severity and dry eye disease. The HIT-6 score was reduced from baseline when using Systane Hydration UD (mean change, ∆ = −3.0, p=0.01) and saline (∆ = −3.9, p=0.002). Dry eye disease symptoms and corneal staining were reduced when using Systane Hydration UD (OSDI ∆ = −8.3, p=0.004; DEQ-5 ∆ = −2.1, p=0.004; corneal staining ∆ = −2.2, p=0.001) and saline (OSDI ∆ = −6.4, p=0.03; DEQ-5 ∆ = −1.5, p=0.03; corneal staining ∆ = −1.5, p=0.005).

CONCLUSIONS
When migraine and dry eye disease coexist, successfully treating dry eye disease reduces the severity of migraine, as measured by HIT-6.
