Authors: Amalia Sarah , Rochmawati Erna 
Published: December 2024

Background: The prevalence of patients requiring haemodialysis increases annually, highlighting the need for improved quality of care. Haemodialysis care involves several key aspects, including monitoring, education, and patient connectivity. The availability of mobile health (mHealth) technology enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of patient monitoring compared to conventional methods, ultimately improving patients’ quality of life.
Aims: To map the development, types, and impact of mHealth technologies on patients undergoing haemodialysis.
Methods: We conducted a scoping review following the Arksey and O’Malley methodological framework. We searched PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and Sage Journals to identify relevant studies describing integrated mobile health applications for monitoring patients with CKD undergoing haemodialysis. Two independent reviewers screened and categorised findings based on predefined synthesis questions. Eleven studies representing various mHealth technologies were included. The PRISMA-ScR guidelines for scoping reviews were followed to ensure comprehensive reporting of results.
Results: Out of 1,200 papers, 11 studies representing mHealth technologies were included. Most respondents were patients, though several articles also involved healthcare providers. We map our findings into three themes: the functionality of the applications, the types and features of mHealth technologies, and their impact.
Conclusion: mHealth can be implemented as web-based or application-based platforms, offering innovative solutions for monitoring, education, and enhanced connectivity between patients and healthcare providers.
Keywords: mHealth, haemodialysis, quality of life, monitoring, CKD

Considering justice as a planning principle helps navigate a diversity of future energy infrastructure designs
Authors: Sansavini Giovanni , Lonergan Katherine 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Energy decisions can be framed as questions of justice, given energy systems’ impact on climate change and communities. Researchers and policymakers have recently begun investigating how quantifying justice with metrics could be used to support decision-making; however, the implications of justice on large-scale energy infrastructure design are not yet understood. We close this gap and show that accounting for justice can support European energy system planning. Here, we assess candidate system designs according to a set of ten justice indicators and a weighted combination of the indicators informed by current European policy and Eurobarometer surveys. We find that pursuing narrow interpretations of justice may not lead to consistent infrastructure decisions, but adopting a wider perspective of justice that considers the variety of public opinion can address this shortfall. Remarkably, the most just system designs are not always accompanied by meaningful cost trade-offs. Our results advance the understanding of how to incorporate justice in energy systems planning, enabling a closer connection between the desire for a just transition and the decision-making processes required to achieve the transition in practice.

Abstract

Loss of ZIP13 causes Ehlers-Danlos syndrome spondylodysplastic type 3 involving connective tissue dysplasias associated with a reduction in muscular strength. However, ZIP13 role in skeletal muscle homeostasis, particularly for the regulation of muscle satellite cells (MuSCs), remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated Zip13-knockout (KO) mice and found a reduction in MuSCs of Zip13-KO mice, in which the quiescent and activated phase balances were disrupted. To clarify the physiological role and dynamics of ZIP13 expression in MuSCs, we generated Zip13-GFP knock-in (KI) mice encoding GFP at the Zip13 locus, which showed that ZIP13 contributes to the phase balance regulation of quiescent and activated MuSCs and their functions. Indeed, Zip13-KO mice exhibited delayed recovery from skeletal muscle injury, indicating ZIP13 requirement for proper skeletal muscle regeneration. Moreover, GFP expression was reduced in the MuSCs of homozygous Zip13-GFP KI mice whose intact ZIP13 expression was perturbed, suggesting that positive feedback mechanisms exist to maintain ZIP13 expression. Altogether, our results illustrate that ZIP13 might be positively involved in skeletal muscle regeneration by controlling the quiescent/activated phase balance of MuSCs through autoregulatory ZIP13 expression, and that newly generated Zip13-GFP KI mice would be useful for investigating the roles and dynamics of ZIP13-expressing cells.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

From the beginning of industrial development, people started to exploit and use natural resources beyond the limit in order to seek faster economic development, but this development model can no longer meet the needs of new forms of economic development in the future. At this time, the green development model was proposed, which is somewhat similar to the sustainable development model. At present, the relevant theoretical research of green development mode is becoming more and more perfect and more researchers begin to pay attention to the problem of how to harvest the highest economic benefits under the green development mode of enterprises. At the same time, the development of AI technology attracted the attention of researchers, who began to try to integrate the technology in AI into the green development model. This paper studied the digital marketing neural network model under the green development model of enterprise and used the artificial neural network to structure the digital marketing prediction model under the green development model of enterprise. It forecast the result value of digital marketing of enterprises through neural network algorithms such as linear regression in the artificial neural network, so as to improve the economic effect of enterprises under the green development mode. At the end of the article, the digital marketing neural network prediction model was used to analyze the improvement of the economic benefits of enterprises under the green development model. The experimental results showed that the digital marketing neural network prediction model can improve the sales performance of enterprises by 27.8% under the green development model.
Spatially dependent Raman gain by vortex beam in a four-level N-typed atomic system
Authors: Zhang Tong , Zhang Kai-Kai , Deng Xu , Shui Tao , Yang Wen-Xing 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

An efficient scheme for controlling the spatial Raman gain is proposed in a cold atomic ensemble with a four-level N-typed configuration. The cold atoms are driven by the Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) vortex beams. Using experimentally achievable parameters, we identify the condition under which the topological charge (TC) allows us to manipulate the spatial distribution of the Raman gain spectra. Furthermore, we find that the spatial Raman gain can be effectively controlled via adjusting the relevant optical parameters. Subsequently, we show interesting optical properties of vortex-induced transparency(VIT) and vortex-induced gain (VIG) by controlling the probe absorption spectrum. Our scheme may provide a feasible approach for constructing novel vortex beams based on cold atomic ensemble.
Barriers to and potential of remote consultations in general practice: Insights from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. A qualitative study in Austria
Authors: Stummer Florian Odilo , Mayrhofer Mira , Szabo Nathalie , Hoffmann Kathryn 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background
Remote consultation and teleconsultation have the potential to transform healthcare delivery by improving patient outcomes, reducing healthcare costs, and increasing patient access to care. However, teleconsultation uptake by Austrian general practitioners (GPs) is rare, even during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the factors behind this rare uptake by understanding the experiences, perspectives, challenges, and fears of GPs in terms of teleconsultations in general and video consultations in particular.
Method
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 GPs working in different organizational primary care areas in the public sector. We followed the qualitative content analysis approach for data analysis.
Results
Five super-categories and 19 related subcategories were identified from the interviews. The five super-categories involve aspects regarding methods of remote communication and consultation, topics for remote communication, concerns about telemedicine, and expectations regarding the support needed and potential/expectations of teleconsultations. The most noteworthy finding is that GPs overwhelmingly refer to telephone consultations when talking about remote/teleconsultations. Respondents only mentioned video consultations as a means of remote consultation upon prompting. Moreover, the lack of institutional support and infrastructure for video consultation implementation was a recurring theme, emphasizing the need for investments and resources. However, despite these barriers, GPs see the opportunities for teleconsultations in their daily work.
Conclusion
As GPs were at the forefront of healthcare provision during the pandemic, their insights shed important light on real-life challenges and opportunities regarding teleconsultations. It became clear that a safe, focused, and supportive environment is needed to implement new technologies such as video consultations, especially in a healthcare system where GPs are responsible for implementation as entrepreneurs themselves. Above all, clinicians and patients need to be involved in creating the necessary e-health strategy and related software development from the beginning.
Ultrasonography-Guided Catheter-Over-Needle Insertion for Caudal Epidural Catheter Placement in Adults: Technical Considerations

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background: Caudal epidural analgesia significantly reduces acute pain after anorectal surgery; however, caudal epidural catheter placement (CECP) remains challenging, and the safety of real-time ultrasonography-guided CECP is uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the success rate and related complications of real-time ultrasonography-guided CECP and describe the technical considerations.
Methods: This prospective, single-center observational study included 233 patients catheterized in the left lateral decubitus position. The sacral hiatus was manually determined and then confirmed using ultrasonography. A catheter-over-needlewas inserted through the sacrococcygeal ligament under real-time ultrasonographic guidance, the metallic needle was withdrawn through the outer sleeve, and the epidural catheter was placed through the outer sleeve into the sacral canal epidural space. The primary outcomewas the success rate of CECP; several surgical variables, the incidence of related complications, and improvement measures were also assessed.
Results: CECP through the sacral hiatus was successful in 231 patients. The sacral canal depth at the hiatus apex, the medial distance between the sacral cornua, and the distance from the skin to the inferior margin of the sacrococcygeal ligament were 5.07±1.38, 8.00±1.94, and 14.24±4.18 mm, respectively. The sacral canal depth was >3 mm in 94.4% of patients. No complications, such as epidural hematoma, dura puncture, and intraspinal infection during postoperative epidural catheter utilization, occurred.
Conclusion: Ultrasonography-guided CECP through the sacral hiatus is a simple, feasible, safe, and effective technique for postoperativeanorectal analgesia. Additionally, caudal epidural analgesia manages severe pain after anorectal surgery. Therefore, this technology merits comprehensive clinical application.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

The rapid growth of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) market has led to increased reliance on UAV technologies across various application domains such as aerial Internet of Things (IoT). However, the vulnerability of UAV infrastructures to security threats and attacks poses significant risks. The discovery of robust security measures is particularly crucial for UAVs operating in hostile environments. This paper proposes a Reputation-enhanced Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance Algorithm (RePA) to address node capture attacks on UAV networks in adversarial settings. RePA integrates a reputation system into the consensus process, assigning master and candidate nodes based on their reputation values, thereby reducing the likelihood of malicious nodes becoming decisive. RePA also introduces a replica node that serves as a backup to master candidacy, enhancing resilience against node capture attacks. This study advances UAV network security by demonstrating the effectiveness of combining reputation scores with PBFT as a defense mechanism against node capture attacks in hostile environments. An experimental study validates the efficacy, reliability, and performance of RePA.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Cognitive impairment is a recognized risk in patients with type 1 diabetes, yet its contributing factors and overall impact remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to explore the relationships between specific cognitive functions—namely memory, attention, and cognitive flexibility—and clinical characteristics, including age of onset and diabetes duration, as well as glycemic factors, such as glycemic control and extreme glycemic events, in a cohort of 331 patients with type 1 diabetes. Cognitive performance was assessed using the Wechsler Memory Scale, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, and the Sustained Attention to Response Task. Network analysis revealed that age of onset and diabetes duration were central nodes in the network, strongly influencing cognitive flexibility. Additionally, age of onset was associated with a history of severe hypoglycemia, while diabetes duration was linked to visual memory decline. Significant differences were observed between the network structures of the adult-onset and childhood-onset groups, with the childhood-onset group showing greater interconnectedness. These findings emphasize the critical impact of age of onset and disease duration on cognitive outcomes in type 1 diabetes and highlight the importance of personalized treatment strategies. Longitudinal studies are needed to further understand these relationships and guide targeted interventions to preserve cognitive function.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Social drivers of health (SDOH) can impact access to routine care, including annual screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Clinical practice guidelines recommend regular screening after diagnosis of hypertension (HTN) or type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We explore how SDOH are associated with annual CKD screening and CKD development among newly diagnosed HTN and/or T2DM patients. Electronic health records of 235,208 patients with a new HTN and/or T2DM diagnosis between 2015–2018 were extracted and followed for three years to assess CKD screening and development. Multivariable logistic regression models evaluated the associations between SDOH and screening and development. The odds of screening among patients with public insurance were 66% less compared to commercial patients while the odds of screening among retirees was 25% greater compared to employed patients. Black patients were over twice as likely to be screened and retirees twice as likely to develop CKD compared to White and employed patients, respectively. CKD incidence among Black and retired patients could be due to frequent screenings while lower screening rates among public health insurance highlight possible upstream factors impacting health care access.

Abstract

The expansion of irrigated cropland exacerbates water scarcity, while geopolitical environment further intensifies the spatial imbalance of water resources, particularly in transboundary rivers. However, little is known about the evolution of water stress in upstream and downstream regions within transboundary river basins and their potential interrelationships. Here, we find that 396 of 431 sub-basins (91.9%) experience increasing irrigation water stress (IWS) between 1901 and 2005, with the number of sub-basins facing irrigation water scarcity doubling from 51 to 118. Disparities in IWS between upstream and downstream regions widen in 92.4% of transboundary river basins, especially in South Asia, Central Asia, and Africa. The expansion of upstream irrigated areas (6 Mha·yr-1) and associated water withdrawals (20.4 km3·yr-1) exacerbate downstream IWS by 34.3 ± 3.5% from 1901 to 2005, with this spatial spillover effect projected to intensify through 2099. Our findings emphasize the urgent need for cooperative water management in transboundary basins.

Abstract

Purpose
To determine prognostic parameters, we extensively examined whether physical, biochemical, and histological factors were associated with clinical outcomes in metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) patients.
Methods
A total 822 mHSPC patients were retrospectively investigated and examined the associations between prognosis and clinicopathological parameters including BMI, initial PSA level, TNM classification, Hb, Alb, CRP, AST, ALT, LDH, ALP, Gleason grade group, and EOD score.
Results
According to the CHAARTED criteria, 339 (41.2%) and 483 (58.8%) patients were classified into low- and high-volume disease, respectively. In univariate and multivariate analyses, Gleason grade group, Alb, CRP, LDH, and ALP were determined as significant predictors for both PFS and OS. When mHSPC patients were classified into three group including favorable (none of risk factors), intermediate (one or two risk factors) and poor (more than three risk factors) according to these four parameters, the survival curves were significantly stratified according to the risk classification. When the risk classification was applied on the patients with low- or high-volume disease in CHAARTED criteria, worse prognosis was found in poor risk group patients with low-volume disease and favorable prognosis was found in favorable risk group patients with high-volume disease.
Conclusion
These results suggested that Gleason grade, CRP, LDH, and ALP were the independent predictors for mHSPC patients regardless of metastatic burden.
