Published: October 2020

AbstractCeramic materials are a potential medium to store thermal energy with a reasonable cost. Respective thermodynamic properties of ceramics generally depend on temperature, and the energy storage capacity significantly varies with microstructure and porosity of ceramics. In order to improve understanding on the correlation between microstructure change and energy storage capacity, two commercial grades of alumina specimens are characterized. Their thermo‐mechanical properties are measured and correlated with temperature‐dependent material phases (ie, α and γ phases) and porosity. Higher values of the γ phase fraction and the porosity result in a lower mass‐based specific heat capacity when the temperature changes from room temperature to 1200°C. On the other hand, lower values of the γ phase fraction and the porosity lead to higher values of thermal conductivity and diffusivity between room temperature and 900°C. While both alumina specimens exhibit a decrease in specific heat capacity with increasing temperature for temperatures above 590°C, largely due to the phase transformation from γ to α, they both exhibit a decrease in thermal conductivity with increasing temperature in the same range. Generally a sample with a higher fraction of α phase and a lower porosity possesses a higher thermal conductivity. Quantitative relations are derived from experimental data.

AbstractPernicious placenta previa with placenta percreta (PP) is a catastrophic condition during pregnancy. However, the underlying pathogenesis remains unclear. In the present study, the placental tissues of normal cases and PP tissues of pernicious placenta previa cases were collected to determine the expression profile of protein‐coding genes, miRNAs, and lncRNAs through sequencing. Weighted gene co‐expression network analysis (WGCNA), accompanied by miRNA target prediction and correlation analysis, were employed to select potential hub protein‐coding genes and lncRNAs. The expression levels of selected protein‐coding genes, Wnt5A and MAPK13, were determined by quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical staining, and lncRNA PTCHD1‐AS and PAPPA‐AS1 expression levels were determined by quantitative PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The results indicated that 790 protein‐coding genes, 382 miRNAs, and 541 lncRNAs were dysregulated in PP tissues, compared with normal tissues. WGCNA identified coding genes in the module (ME) black and ME turquoise modules that may be involved in the pathogenesis of PP. The selected potential hub protein‐coding genes, Wnt5A and MAPK13, were down‐regulated in PP tissues, and their expression levels were positively correlated with the expression levels of PTCHD1‐AS and PAPPA‐AS1. Further analysis demonstrated that PTCHD1‐AS and PAPPA‐AS1 regulated Wnt5A and MAPK13 expression by interacting with specific miRNAs. Collectively, our results provided multi‐omics data to better understand the pathogenesis of PP and help identify predictive biomarkers and therapeutic targets for PP.

AbstractThis study monitored post‐release movements of 20 wild Japanese eels (Anguilla japonica) [mean ± S.D. 520.8 ± 92.3 mm total length (TL), 217.9 ± 146.3 g body mass (BM)] in a brackish water lagoon in northeastern Japan using acoustic telemetry to elucidate how wild Japanese eels use different river, estuary and marine environments. In addition, 12 cultured Japanese eels (TL = 578.9 ± 18.0 mm, BM = 344.9 ± 25.5 g) were released to understand the comparative behaviours of wild and cultured eels. Both types of eels were simultaneously released in the southern inner part of the lagoon in September 2016 where there are freshwater influences from a river. Following release, eight of the wild eels (40%) were largely sedentary near the released point (river mouth) and stayed at the site for overwinter. Nonetheless, several individuals showed behavioural plasticity of habitat use: three wild eels moved towards the northern part of the lagoon with stronger influence from the sea during May–July 2017. Two wild eels showed clear repeated movements from the lagoon to a river at night and returned to the lagoon by dawn for more than a week every day, and one wild eel migrated upstream for overwintering. Signals from 55% of the wild eels could be detected for more than 6 months, whereas those from all of the cultured eels were lost by December 2016, indicating a short resident time of large cultured eels (BM > 200 g) released in a brackish water area. One wild silver eel migrated to the outer sea during the ebb tide at night in November 2016, probably triggered by the decrease in water temperature (from c. 20°C to c. 13°C), and seven cultured eels similarly moved to the outer sea during October–November 2016. The results revealed the similarities (e.g., nocturnal movements) and differences (e.g., stay period and seasonal movements) in the behavioural characteristics of wild and cultured eels and indicated that habitat connectivity among river, estuary and coastal waters is crucial for enabling eels to efficiently utilise these productive habitats through their behavioural plasticity.
Seasonality of procedures in dermatology: Insights for practice management

Published: October 2020

AbstractThis commentary examines the seasonality of various procedures in dermatology. With the rising demand of cosmetic procedures, it is important for physicians to understand seasonal trends of their services, which can offer insights to better forecast patient demand and optimize practice management. Although it has been anecdotally reported that the popularity of dermatologic procedures may peak during specific times of the year, available data on consumer behavior is limited. Our data fills this gap in the literature by examining the seasonality of dermatologic procedures and discussing the potential reasons for these findings. Physicians can utilize this information to optimize marketing strategies for particular procedures in order to capture greater market share and potentially increase practice revenues.

AbstractPregnancies complicated by congenital uterine anomalies (CUA) with a neocervix present a variety of challenges for the obstetrician. Abdominal cerclage can be utilized to help prevent preterm delivery in a patient with a neocervix. A 14‐year‐old female presented with right adnexal pain and was found to have a complex uterine anomaly resembling a noncommunicating unicornuate uterus with a cervix embedded in the rudimentary horn. A neocervix was created during surgical removal of the rudimentary horn. The patient became pregnant at age 24, and a transabdominal cerclage served an important role in the prevention of preterm delivery. Although limited data exists regarding the outcomes for the use of abdominal cerclage after the creation of a neocervix, term delivery is possible with said intervention.
Corporate Purpose Needs Democracy
Authors: Davis Gerald F. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe British Academy proposes that some of the manifest failures of shareholder capitalism can be addressed by requiring corporations to declare a purpose – a profitable solution to the problems of people and planet that does not cause additional problems – and creating a set of supporting mechanisms to ensure the pursuit of purpose. Shareholder capitalism has a lot to answer for, arguably including the opioid and obesity epidemics, the hazards to people and democracy posed by profit‐driven tech firms, and catastrophic climate change. Moreover, the forces that orient public corporations toward share price are powerful and pervasive, while public corporations are disappearing in the USA and the UK under the weight of outside pressures. If we want the corporations that remain to behave themselves, the surest path is more democracy: greater worker control from below, and more effective state regulation from above.

AbstractObjectivesThe study assessed the effectiveness of an oral health educational and behavioral intervention program in improving the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of refugee families.MethodsThis randomized 2‐arms, controlled, single site, clinical trial assessed the dental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to oral health at baseline and three times over the course of the 6 months of the intervention in recent refugee families. Participating families were educated on five topics in oral health in two 1‐hour sessions utilizing existing oral health education materials adapted to be linguistically and culturally appropriate for demonstration and instruction. Culturally competent techniques and motivational interviewing styles were also implemented during sessions. Pre/post surveys were used to assess changes to knowledge, attitudes, and behavior among refugee family participants.ResultsOut of the 66 families enrolled in the program, 52 (72 percent) completed visits over the course of 6 months. Differences between the intervention and control groups were not significant between baseline and 3 to 6 months later (P > 0.05).ConclusionsA short‐term, culturally informed oral health educational and behavioral intervention program did not improve oral health‐related knowledge, attitudes, or behaviors in a diverse group of recent refugee families.

Published: October 2020

Accessible summaryWhat is known on the subject

As‐needed medication is commonly used for psychiatric inpatients’ acute psychiatric and physical symptoms. Both patients and staff can initiate such medication.

Earlier studies have focused on what and how as‐needed medication has been used for psychiatric reasons. Little is known about how patients participate in planning, administration and evaluation of as‐needed medication and its alternatives. Nursing documentation provides an insight into these practices.

What this paper adds to existing knowledge

Long‐term inpatients have an active role in initiating as‐needed medication. However, patients and staff may have divergent opinions on the need for medication.

Alternatives to medication are mostly proposed by staff, and the feedback on as‐needed medication events is usually provided from nurses’ point of view.

What are the implications for practice

Patients’ views on decision‐making and evaluation should be noticed and documented more.

Patient participation can be promoted by planning as‐needed medication and its alternatives beforehand.

AbstractIntroductionPro re nata (PRN) medication is unscheduled and used for acute physical and psychiatric symptoms. Previous studies have focused on the what and how of psychotropic PRN administration. Initiators of PRN events and occasions in which PRN was denied have rarely been studied. Thus, knowledge of patient participation in PRN is fragmented.AimWe aimed to describe and explain long‐term psychiatric inpatients’ participation in relation to planning and initiation of, as well as decisions and feedback on their PRN medication treatment.MethodsWe retrieved data from patients’ (n = 67) nursing documentation in a Finnish forensic psychiatric hospital in 2018. Data were analysed using statistical methods.ResultsAll patients were prescribed PRN, and they initiated half of the 8,626 PRN events identified, in a 1‐year period. Non‐pharmacological strategies were rarely (6%) documented, and most of them were initiated by staff (76%). Feedback on PRN was usually from a nurse's viewpoint (71%). Nurses’ feedback was positive (80%) more often than patients’ (50%).DiscussionPatient participation needs to be recognized throughout the PRN process. Future research could continue to explore patient participation in planning and evaluating their PRN medication.Implications for practicePatients participate in PRN by requesting medication. Their participation can be developed by supporting patients to communicate their choice of non‐pharmacological methods, take the initiative for medication when needed and disclose their viewpoint on the effects of PRN.

AbstractDuring the 20th century, many lakes in the Northern Hemisphere were affected by increasing human population and urbanization along their shorelines and catchment, resulting in aquatic eutrophication. Ecosystem monitoring commenced only after the changes became apparent, precluding any examination of timing and dynamics of initial community change in the past and comparison of pre‐ and postimpact communities. Peri‐Alpine Lake Constance (Germany) underwent a mid‐century period of eutrophication followed by re‐oligotrophication since the 1980s and is now experiencing warm temperatures. We extended the period for which monitoring data of indicator organisms exist by analysing historical environmental DNA (eDNA) from a sediment core dating back some 110 years. Using three metabarcoding markers—for microbial eukaryotes, diatoms and cyanobacteria—we revealed two major breakpoints of community change, in the 1930s and the mid‐1990s. In our core, the latest response was exhibited by diatoms, which are classically used as palaeo‐bioindicators for the trophic state of lakes. Following re‐oligotrophication, overall diversity values reverted to similar ones of the early 20th century, but multivariate analysis indicated that the present community is substantially dissimilar. Community changes of all three groups were strongly correlated to phosphorus concentration changes, whereas significant relationships to temperature were only observed when we did not account for temporal autocorrelation. Our results indicate that each microbial group analysed exhibited a unique response, highlighting the particular strength of multimarker analysis of eDNA, which is not limited to organisms with visible remains and can therefore discover yet unknown responses and abiotic–biotic relationships.
Automatic modeling of prefabricated components with laser‐scanned data for virtual trial assembly

Published: October 2020

AbstractVirtual trial assembly (VTA) simulates the preassembly by verifying the correspondence of as‐built and as‐designed prefabricated component (PC) models in virtual reality. Notably, obtaining accurate as‐built PC models ensures the success of VTA. To accomplish it, current methods require matching the scanned PC data with the as‐designed model and manually modifying the model to approximate the actual dimensions, which is inefficient and leads to subjective errors. Therefore, it is desirable to develop an automatic modeling approach to obtain reliable as‐built PC models for further improving the efficiency of VTA. However, to the best of our knowledge, few studies have been done on the automatic modeling of as‐built PC models in VTA procedure. To this end, based on the prior knowledge of as‐designed model, this study proposes an approach to automatically reconstruct the primary structure via plane fitting and structural feature point calculation for geometric modeling. Then, two adaptive methods for inner boundary detection and round‐hole estimation are developed for the reconstruction of detailed structure. Finally, as‐built model visualization is realized based on the data extraction and modeling development of a building information modeling software. To verify the feasibility of the proposed approach, a validation experiment was conducted on a full‐scale precast concrete stair using two scanning resolutions (1/5 and 1/8). Experiment results show that the estimation of the dimensions consists of multifaceted corners that are stable and not affected by scanning resolution. Low scan resolution (1/8) may increase estimation errors of the edge, which has a single‐sided turning point. The experiment results also confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach for the automatic model reconstruction of as‐built PCs.
ALG3 contributes to the malignant properties of OSCC cells by regulating CDK‐Cyclin pathway

Published: October 2020

AbstractIn this study, we planned to investigate the function and potential mechanisms of Alpha‐1,3‐mannosyltransferase (ALG3) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Data from TCGA were used to analyze ALG3 expression and its effect on the prognosis of patients with OSCC. KEGG enrichment analysis was applied to explore the pathways related to ALG3. ALG3 expression was measured by qPCR and Western blot. Cell counting kit‐8, colony formation, and transwell assays were implemented to detect the effects of ALG3 on malignant biological properties of OSCC cells. The expression of key proteins related to CDK‐Cyclin pathway was detected by Western blot. The expression of ALG3 in OSCC samples was higher than that of the control samples, and the increase of ALG3 expression was related to unfavorable prognosis of OSCC patients. Additionally, the elevated expression of ALG3 was associated with pathological stage, lymph node metastasis, and primary lesion in OSCC patients. ALG3 depletion blocked the growth and movement of OSCC cells, while over‐expression ALG3 reversed these phenomena. Moreover, exhaustion of ALG3 resulted in decreased expression of MCM7/CCNB2/CDK1/PCNA, while these phenomena were inversed after ALG3 up‐regulation. The enhancement of ALG3 expression promoted the aggressive biological behaviors of OSCC cells probably by promoting CDK‐Cyclin pathway.
A hybrid endocardial‐epicardial biventricular implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator to circumvent the tricuspid valve

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe development of pacing and defibrillator systems that do not involve hardware traversing the tricuspid annulus can be desirable in order to minimize lead‐related complications such as tricuspid regurgitation. Occasionally, primary tricuspid valve pathology (ie, infectious endocarditis, nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis, and carcinoid disease) or congenital heart disease prohibits use of transvenous leads and alternative strategies are required to provide pacing or defibrillation. We describe such a case in which a biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator was implanted using a hybrid system involving endocardial and epicardial components.
Autoinflammatory disease mimicking acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy
Authors: Heck Emma , Johnson Nicole , Ramien Michele 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe autoinflammatory diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by early appearance of symptoms and characteristic flares of fever plus signs of internal inflammation, including various skin manifestations. We describe a 2.5‐year‐old boy who presented with fever, purpuric skin lesions, and edema, the classic clinical triad of acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI). Although AHEI was our initial leading diagnosis, additional history revealed that these episodes were recurrent, and further investigation lead to a diagnosis of tumor necrosis factor receptor–associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS). This case report affirms the broad clinical spectrum of the autoinflammatory diseases and reinforces the importance of obtaining a thorough history of previous episodes of skin and extracutaneous inflammation in patients with a clinical diagnosis of AHEI.

AbstractBackgroundNo previous paediatric study has evaluated the frequency of diagnostic disagreement between clinical standard histopathological assessment (CSHA) and retrospective, independent, histopathological assessment (RIHA) of gastrointestinal Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease (GI‐GVHD)MethodsIn a retrospective cohort study, based on gastrointestinal biopsies collected from allogeneic HSCT‐treated children (<18 years) with symptom‐based GI‐GVHD, we evaluated; disagreement of histopathology‐based GI‐GVHD diagnosis in CSHA vs RIHA, and potential clinical consequences of differences between the assessments. The CSHA‐based diagnoses were retrieved from histopathology reports. The RIHA was performed by one pathologist, blinded to the CSHA outcomes and based on the minimal criteria for histopathology‐based GI‐GVHD diagnosis by the NIH 2014.ResultsSeventy children with 92 endoscopic occasions (including 22 re‐endoscopies) were enrolled. GI‐GVHD was observed in 73% (67/92) of the endoscopies in the RIHA and in 54% (50/92) in the CSHA (P = .014). The RIHA confirmed 94% (47/50) with GI‐GVHD and 52% (22/42) with non‐GI‐GVHD diagnoses, established in the CSHA. Disagreement, that is endoscopic occasions with GI‐GVHD solely detected in RIHA or detection of GI‐GVHD in CSHA but not in RIHA, was observed in 20/42 (48%) and 3/50 (6%), respectively (McNemar's test, P = .0008). The risk of a subsequent re‐endoscopy was higher in endoscopic occasions with GI‐GVHD detected in RIHA but not in CSHA vs if non‐GI‐GVHD were detected in both readings (P = .005).ConclusionOur results suggest that in children with symptom‐based GI‐GVHD without histopathological confirmation in CSHA, a second, NIH 2014 based histopathological assessment should be considered before performing a re‐endoscopy.
