Roots drive oligogalacturonide‐induced systemic immunity in tomato
Authors: Gamir Jordi , Minchev Zhivko , Berrio Estefanía , García Juan M. , De Lorenzo Giulia , Pozo Maria J. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractOligogalacturonides (OGs) are fragments of pectin released from the plant cell wall during insect or pathogen attack. They can be perceived by the plant as damage signals, triggering local and systemic defence responses. Here, we analyse the dynamics of local and systemic responses to OG perception in tomato roots or shoots, exploring their impact across the plant and their relevance in pathogen resistance. Targeted and untargeted metabolomics and gene expression analysis in plants treated with purified OGs revealed that local responses were transient, while distal responses were stronger and more sustained. Remarkably, changes were more conspicuous in roots, even upon foliar application of the OGs. The treatments differentially activated the synthesis of defence‐related hormones and secondary metabolites including flavonoids, alkaloids and lignans, some of them exclusively synthetized in roots. Finally, the biological relevance of the systemic defence responses activated upon OG perception was confirmed, as the treatment induced systemic resistance to Botrytis cinerea. Overall, this study shows the differential regulation of tomato defences upon OGs perception in roots and shoots and reveals the key role of roots in the coordination of the plant responses to damage sensing.
Accuracy of shorter respiratory rate measurement times in the pediatric population
Authors: Atsumi Yukari , Morikawa Yoshihiko , Hataya Hiroshi 
Published: October 2020

AbstractBackgroundAs one of the vital signs, the respiratory rate is an important index of general health in an initial examination. The duration of respiratory rate measurements is known to influence the results in adults. We examined the difference in respiratory rate measurements between two measurement durations in a pediatric population.MethodsThe prospective, cross‐sectional study was conducted from November 2017 through March 2018 at Tokyo Metropolitan Children’s Medical Center and analyzed differences in the respiratory rate in a 1 min group and 30 s group using the Bland–Altman plot.ResultsNinety‐five patients were enrolled. The median age was 0.99 years, and 50 patients were male. The correlation between the results of the 30 s and 1 min measurement durations was good (r2 = 0.970, P < 0.001; Spearman’s rank correlation). The mean difference between the 30 s and 1 min measurement results was 0.86 (95% confidence interval: 0.27–1.45).ConclusionsThe shorter measurement duration may result in overestimation of the respiratory rate, especially in young children or children with tachypnea. Nonetheless, the shorter measurement times correlated well with the 1 min measurement, and the difference was less than one per minute compared with the 1 min measurement. Thus, this method may be able to detect life‐threatening conditions earlier than longer measurement times.
Reproductive hormones monthly variation in free‐ranging European wildcats: Lack of association with faecal marking

Published: October 2020

AbstractIntegrating ecophysiological and behavioural discoveries in conservation and management plans is essential to preserve scarce and elusive species such as the European wildcat (Felis silvestris). The purpose of this study was to characterize the monthly variation in the steroid reproductive hormone metabolite levels (oestradiol, progesterone and testosterone) in this species and to test its possible association with a monthly pattern of faecal marking. By collecting fresh faecal samples in Montes do Invernadeiro Natural Park (Galicia, Northwest Spain) each month, we obtained a total of 110 samples belonging to 25 different individuals. We conducted enzyme immunoassays which allowed us to track the annual variation in reproductive hormone excretion patterns in wildcat scats. Furthermore, we also evaluated the possible relation between the faeces used as marks and the reproductive hormone levels. We found that oestradiol and progesterone metabolite levels exhibited a distinct pattern, both increasing during the breeding months. Oestradiol metabolite larger peaks were found during March and April, whereas the highest concentration of progesterone metabolites appeared in July. On the contrary, testosterone metabolite levels did not significantly change depending on the month. Moreover, we did not find any evidence that the faecal marking behaviour pattern was associated with reproductive hormone metabolite levels. It seems that other factors related to habitat and food resources could be more important in the performance of this behaviour.
Adoption of a Data‐Driven Bayesian Belief Network Investigating Organizational Factors that Influence Patient Safety
Authors: Simsekler Mecit Can Emre , Qazi Abroon 
Published: October 2020

AbstractMedical errors pose high risks to patients. Several organizational factors may impact the high rate of medical errors in complex and dynamic healthcare systems. However, limited research is available regarding probabilistic interdependencies between the organizational factors and patient safety errors. To explore this, we adopt a data‐driven Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) model to represent a class of probabilistic models, using the hospital‐level aggregate survey data from U.K. hospitals. Leveraging the use of probabilistic dependence models and visual features in the BBN model, the results shed new light on relationships existing among eight organizational factors and patient safety errors. With the high prediction capability, the data‐driven approach results suggest that “health and well‐being” and “bullying and harassment in the work environment” are the two leading factors influencing the number of reported errors and near misses affecting patient safety. This study provides significant insights to understand organizational factors’ role and their relative importance in supporting decision‐making and safety improvements.
Adolescent narcissism and interpersonal trust: A cross‐lagged study
Authors: Fang Yuan , Dong Yan , Wang Hongfei 
Published: October 2020

In recent years, narcissism has been attracting considerable interest by researchers because of its enigmatic constructs. To enhance our understanding of narcissists’ psychosocial functioning, considering the relationship between narcissism and interpersonal trust is crucial. This study aimed to investigate how narcissistic admiration and rivalry are associated with interpersonal trust. To gain a more nuanced understanding, a cross‐lagged design was conducted at two time points that were six months apart. In total, 357 adolescents (Mage = 16.33 years) completed the Narcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Questionnaire (NARQ) and the Interpersonal Trust Scale. The results showed that narcissistic admiration positively predicted interpersonal trust while narcissistic rivalry negatively predicted interpersonal trust at the second time point. However, interpersonal trust did not predict subsequent levels of narcissistic admiration and rivalry. These findings enhanced our understanding by showing that narcissistic admiration and rivalry have different effects on interpersonal trust, and that they remain relatively stable during a six‐month period.

Published: October 2020

AbstractPurposeTo demonstrate the effect of different probe‐cornea distances during intraocular pressure (IOP) data acquisition in dogs and rats.Animals studiedTwenty‐four conscious dogs and 15 anesthetized Wistar rats.MethodsThree interchangeable three‐dimensional printed polylactide plastic spacer collars were used in place of the original Icare TonoVet® collar piece, which provided different distances (4, 6, and 8 mm) between the instrument's probe and the corneal surface. IOP values were obtained in sequence by a single observer, with the tonometer probe at a 4‐, 6‐, and 8‐mm distance from the corneal surface. The dogs were gently restrained, and the rats were anesthetized with isoflurane.ResultsIntraocular pressure values obtained at 4, 6, and 8 mm from the TonoVet® probe to corneal surface distance in both dogs and rats were significantly different (P < .01). There was a small positive correlation between IOP (mm Hg) and probe‐cornea distance (mm) (rs = 0.39 for dogs and rs = 0.51 for rats). In dogs, the mean IOP (± SD mm Hg) obtained at different distances were 16.2 ± 3.0 at 4 mm; 17.6 ± 3.4 at 6 mm; and 19.8 ± 3.8 at 8 mm. In rats, IOP values were 8.2 ± 1.5 at 4‐mm; 9.4 ± 1.8 at 6‐mm; and 10.5 ± 1.5 mm Hg at 8‐mm distance.ConclusionsProbe‐cornea distance of the Icare TonoVet® significantly affects IOP readings, even within the 4‐ to 8‐mm range recommended by the manufacturer.
Timing of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity in healthy women and newborns during the postnatal period: a systematic review protocol
Authors: Dol Justine , Richardson Brianna , Bonet Mercedes , Langlois Etienne V. , Parker Robin , Scott Heather , Curran Janet 
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To determine the timing of overall and cause-specific maternal and neonatal mortality and severe morbidity in healthy women and newborns during the postnatal period.

Introduction:
Despite significant focus on improving maternal and neonatal outcomes, many women and newborns continue to die or suffer negative health outcomes within the postnatal period. While the maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity rates and causes are regularly updated, less is known on when they occur during the postnatal period.

Inclusion criteria:
This review will consider studies that include healthy women and newborns after birth to six weeks’ and four weeks’ postnatally, respectively, and includes data regarding time to death or complications. Studies that report solely on high risk women (eg, antenatal complications) or preterm or high-risk newborns will not be included in this review.

Methods:
The search strategy will aim to locate both published and unpublished studies. After the initial search and removal of duplicates, titles and abstracts of all retrieved studies will be screened and the full text of selected reports will be assessed against the eligibility criteria. The reference list of all studies selected for critical appraisal will be screened for additional relevant studies/reports. Screening, critical appraisal, and data extraction will be completed by two independent reviewers. Findings from the studies/reports will be pooled in statistical meta-analysis or presented in narrative form including tables and figures.

Terminology and frameworks used for the classification of voice disorders: a scoping review protocol
Authors: Payten Christopher L. , Chiapello Greg , Weir Kelly A. , Madill Catherine J. 
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT

Objective:
This review aims to examine the literature on the terminology and descriptions for the broad classification of voice disorders, and outline the criteria described to guide clinicians in differential classification.

Introduction:
The process of classifying the etiology of voice disorders is complex. A key challenge for clinicians and researchers is a lack of consensus on agreed terminology to define umbrella terms commonly used in the published literature. Consistency in the terminology for voice disorder classification, and well-defined conditions within those groups, will provide greater clarity for clinicians and researchers.

Inclusion criteria:
Published and unpublished literature that include participants (adults and children) diagnosed with a voice disorder using any criteria or framework will be considered. Studies will be included provided they give a descriptive detail of the structure of the classification system and describe a methodological approach to determine classification criteria. Studies will be excluded if they include animal models or participants with alaryngeal speech, elective mutism, or resonance disorders.

Methods:
The following databases will be searched: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Web of Science. Studies will be limited to those published in English from 1940 to present. Two independent reviewers will screen the retrieved articles against the eligibility criteria. A narrative synthesis of the main concepts will include classification terminology, classification criteria, commonly described specific diagnoses within the groups, test measures used to determine criteria, critical appraisal items, and gaps in research.
Effects of whole globe enucleation versus in situ corneoscleral excision on donor cornea tissue quality: a systematic review protocol
Authors: Ting Darren Shu Jeng , Chen Yunzi , Figueiredo Francisco C. 
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The objective of this review is to systemically compare the effects of whole globe enucleation versus in situ corneoscleral excision on donor cornea tissue quality.

Introduction:
Corneal transplantation serves as a sight-restoring surgery for corneal diseases, but the treatment is limited by the persistent shortage of donor corneas globally. Whole globe enucleation and in situ corneoscleral excision are the two methods for eye retrieval. Although studies have reported a higher acceptance rate for corneal donation among donors’ relatives with in situ corneoscleral excision than whole globe enucleation, there are concerns regarding the impact on donor cornea tissue quality with in situ corneoscleral excision. Currently, there is limited high-quality evidence comparing the two methods.

Inclusion criteria:
We will consider prospective and retrospective comparative studies that examine the effects of whole globe enucleation and in situ corneoscleral excision on donor cornea tissue quality. There will be no restrictions on the recipients’ characteristics, including age, sex, ocular comorbidities, or potential visual acuity after corneal transplantation.

Methods:
Electronic databases, including (but not limited to) MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials,gov, and ISRCTN registry will be searched, with no restriction to the language used or date of publication. Retrieval of full-text studies, assessment of methodological quality, and data extraction will be performed independently by two reviewers. A meta-analysis, using fixed or random effects, will be performed for the included randomized controlled trials when there are sufficient similarities in the reporting of outcome measures. If meta-analysis is not possible, the pre-specified outcomes will be narratively synthesized.

Authors: Pollock Danielle , Cooper Megan , McArthur Alexa , Barker Timothy , Munn Zachary 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Objective:
The objective of the review is to explore and evaluate women's experiences of interactions with health care providers during their postnatal period.

Introduction:
The postnatal period is a transformative time for women. Women experience significant change and adaptation, which could impact upon parenting confidence, health, and psychological outcomes during this time. The interaction women have with their health care providers during the postnatal period plays an integral role in improving these health outcomes.

Inclusion criteria:
This qualitative review will explore the experiences of primiparous and multiparous women during the postnatal period with a key focus on evaluating the interactions they have with health care providers. It will include all studies that utilize qualitative methods (such as interviews and focus groups). Articles that explore the postnatal care experiences of women who have endured a pregnancy loss, given birth to a baby with complex needs, or those that solely focus on describing the neonatal and intensive care experiences, will not be included.

Methods:
PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Emcare, and PsycINFO will be searched. Studies published from 2000 onwards and written in English will be assessed for inclusion. Studies that are selected initially will be assessed for methodological quality by two independent reviewers utilizing the JBI critical appraisal instrument for qualitative research.

Authors: Burton Ian , Cooper Kay , Alexander Lyndsay , Swinton Paul Alan 
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The objective of this review is to synthesize the best available evidence on the effectiveness of interventions that have used a combination of extracorporeal shockwave therapy and plantar fascia–specific stretching to treat plantar heel pain compared to any other non-surgical intervention.

Introduction:
Recent evidence suggests combining shockwave therapy and plantar fascia stretching may be more effective than other treatments for plantar heel pain. However, no systematic reviews have been conducted on the topic and optimal treatment protocols and clinical recommendations are lacking.

Inclusion criteria:
Randomized controlled trials assessing the effectiveness of combined shockwave therapy and plantar stretching for plantar heel pain in adults will be included.

Methods:
The authors will search a wide range of sources to identify both published and unpublished studies via EBSCOhost, including, but not limited to MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Allied and Complementary Medicine Database (AMED). Studies published in a language other than English will only be considered if a translation is available. The JBI systematic review methodology will be followed when conducting the review. Data synthesis will be conducted using meta-analysis or narrative synthesis, where appropriate.

Authors: Jefferies Keisha , Martin-Misener Ruth , Murphy Gail Tomblin , Helwig Melissa , Bernard Wanda Thomas , Gahagan Jacqueline 
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The objective of this review is to synthesize the evidence on African Canadian nurses in the nursing profession in Canada.

Introduction:
With approximately 1.2 million people of African descent, Canada has committed to addressing the United Nations’ decade for people of African descent. Intergenerational racism continues to result in multisectoral discrimination against African Canadians. Studies suggest that African Canadians are under-represented in nursing, and encountering systemic barriers to entering and advancing in the profession. Additionally, African Canadian nurses experience racism from patients and colleagues, as well as systemic racism through hiring and promotion.

Inclusion criteria:
This review will consider sources that include African Canadian nurses who identify as Black or as of African descent. All levels of professional nursing practice will be included (practical nurses, registered nurses, and advanced practice nurses, including nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists). Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies and gray literature will be searched.

Methods:
This review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology. Databases to be searched from inception to the present include CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, Sociological Abstracts, Gender Studies Database, America: History and Life, PsycINFO, Academic Search Premier, and Scopus. Studies published in English and French will be included. A comprehensive search strategy developed with a librarian will be used to retrieve relevant sources. Two independent screeners will screen titles and abstracts as well as full texts of relevant sources. Data will be extracted by two independent extractors then presented narratively, using appropriate tables and figures.

Role of Phytohormones and Light in De-etiolation
Authors: Kusnetsov V. V. , Doroshenko A. S. , Kudryakova N. V. , Danilova M. N. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
De-etiolation or transition from etiolated growth (skotomorphogenesis) to photomorphogenesis is one of the most intriguing and intricate stages of plant ontogenesis. It comprises reprogramming of plant cell metabolism, reorganizing the operation of the hormonal system, and altering plant morphology. Dark growth in the soil mainly depends on phytohormones with gibberellins and brassinosteroids playing the leading role; on the soil surface, light as a major exogenous agent starts operating. It inhibits activity of the main repressor of photomorphogenesis (COP1) and regulators of transcription, which govern realization of gibberellin (DELLA) and brassinosteroid (BZR1/BES1) signals and activates trans-factors initiating transition to autotrophic nutrition (for instance, HY5). The strategy of etiolated growth consists in achieving a quick exposure to sunlight at the expense of active elongation of the stem. For transition to autotrophic nutrition, a plant must form a photosynthetic apparatus and protect itself from possible light injury. This review deals with the role of the main regulatory components ensuring etiolated growth and transition to photomorphogenic development.
Experimental investigation on steam bubble interfacial heat transfer in large range Reynolds number and water subcooling
Authors: Yang Qingchuan , Qiu Binbin , Du Bowen , Li Yanna 
Published: October 2020

An experimental study on the heat transfer characteristics of the steam bubbles generated by steam injection was performed. The bubble Nusselt number and Reynolds number were calculated based on the visual observation. The steam bubble Reynolds number and water subcooling were 600–360,000 and 15–60 K, respectively. In the large range of steam bubble Reynolds number, it was found that the heat transfer correlation in previous literatures cannot accurately predict the heat transfer coefficient of steam bubble. Based on the experimental results, the steam bubble Reynolds range was divided into three sections, namely 600–3000, 3000–22,000 and 22,000–360,000, to analyze the bubble heat transfer coefficient. Three experimental correlation formulas were obtained to calculate the steam bubble interfacial heat transfer coefficient, with deviations within ±30%. By comparing these three correlations, it was found that with the increase of Re[Formula: see text], the exponential coefficient of Re[Formula: see text] term in the correlation of Nu[Formula: see text] increased, and the absolute value of Ja term exponential coefficient decreased. The results indicated that with the increase of Re[Formula: see text], the influence of Re[Formula: see text] on bubble heat transfer increased, and the influence of water subcooling on bubble heat transfer decreased.
