First record and extended distribution of Otothyropsis piribebuy (Loricariidae: Hypoptopomatinae) in Brazil
Authors: Hocama Guilherme Seiji , Martins Fernanda De Oliveira , Severo-Neto Francisco 
Published: June 2020

Cascudinhos are a group of small benthic fishes included in the Hypoptopomatinae subfamily, inhabiting small to moderate streams and rivers within the Neotropical region, from Venezuela to Northern Argentina. Until now, Otothyropsis piribebuy originally described from the rio Paraguay basin, in Paraguay, is the only species of the genus not recorded in Brazil. Recent samples in the rio Tererê, rio Paraguay basin, Brazil, revealed a population of Otothyropsis with uncertain taxonomic identity. Therefore, the study aimed to unveil the distribution of Otothyropsis within Brazilian territory. External morphology, osteology, measurements, and counts (plates, teeth, and rays) of these specimens from rio Tererê were compared to data from the original description of O. piribebuy, and also with specimens of O. piribebuy sampled in Paraguayan territory. Observations indicated no differences among the analyzed specimens. Furthermore, a Principal Component Analysis (PCA), carried out using log-transformed measures from Brazilian and Paraguayan specimens, showed no separation of these populations, also indicating that all analyzed specimens pertain to the same species. Based on this, a prediction map of distribution, using Maximum Entropy, was produced. The correct identification of spatial range of occurrence is an essential step to ensure the conservation of species, and the extended distribution of Otothyropsis piribebuy was confirmed, enhancing the list of neotropical fish from Brazil.

Published: June 2020

We assessed the current knowledge on non-avian reptile species composition in the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), southeastern Brazil. We used published data in indexed journals and verified voucher specimens housed in two herpetological collections of the Museu Nacional (UFRJ), and the Laboratory of Reptiles (ZUFRJ). We also confirmed vouchers from Instituto Vital Brazil (IVB) and from the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ). We compiled a list containing 149 species of reptiles, distributed among Testudines (N = 15), Crocodylia (N = 1) and Squamata (N = 133; six amphisbaenians, 38 lizards and 89 snakes). Our results add 20 species to the previous list known for the state. Four species recorded are endemic to the state of Rio de Janeiro (Anolis neglectus, Glaucomastix littoralis, Leposternon scutigerum, and Liolaemus lutzae). We identified that 21 reptile species recorded in RJ state (nearly 15% of the total) are included in some threat category either in the IUCN, Brazilian (ICMBio) or state lists of endangered species. We also report that seven of the reptiles recorded are non-indigenous to the state: Cnemidophorus aff. lemniscatus (= Cnemidophorus cryptus), Anolis sagrei, Trachemys scripta, Trachemys dorbigni, Hemidactylus mabouia, Crotalus durissus terrificus, and Rhinoclemmys punctularia. The checklist presented here provides a comprehensive database for further research on the herpetofauna of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.

Published: June 2020

Background
Significant variability in morbidity and mortality persists for children with functionally single ventricle congenital heart disease (SV‐CHD) despite standardization in medical and surgical care. We hypothesized that maternal health factors may be associated with an increased risk of poor outcomes in children with SV‐CHD.

Methods and Results

This retrospective, observational, cohort study included term maternal‐infant pairs with a diagnosis of SV‐CHD who underwent surgical palliation from 2006 to 2015 at Primary Children's Hospital. Pairs lacking maternal variables of interest or infant follow‐up data were excluded. The association of maternal risk factors of abnormal pre‐pregnancy body mass index, abnormal gestational weight gain (<7 or >20 kg), hypertensive disorders, and gestational diabetes mellitus with death/transplant and hemodynamics were analyzed using regression models. Of 190 infants, 135 (71%) maternal‐infant dyads had complete data for inclusion. Death or transplant occurred in 48 infants (36%) during an average follow‐up of 2.2 years (0.1–11.7 years). Abnormal gestational weight gain was associated with an increased risk of death and/or transplant in logistic regression (odds ratio, 3.22; 95% CI, 1.32–7.86;
P
=0.01), but not Cox regression (hazard ratio, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.0–3.7;
P
=0.055). Mean pulmonary artery pressures were higher in the setting of abnormal gestational weight gain (16.5±2.9 versus 14.7±3.0 mm Hg;
P
<0.001), and abnormal pre‐pregnancy body mass index (15.7±3.5 versus 14.2±2.1 mm Hg;
P
<0.001) in the systemic right ventricle group.

Conclusions
Abnormal gestational weight gain (excessive or inadequate) is a novel risk factor for worse outcomes in SV‐CHD. The fetoplacental environment may alter the trajectory of vascular development to impact outcomes in infants with SV‐CHD.
Survival estimates for the invasive American bullfrog

Published: June 2020

Abstract
American bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) are significant invaders in many places and can negatively impact native species. Despite their impact and wide distribution, little is known about their demography. We used five years of capture mark-recapture data to estimate annual apparent survival of post-metamorphic bullfrogs in a population on the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge in their invaded range in Arizona, U.S.A. This population is a potential source of colonists into breeding ponds used by the federally threatened Chiricahua leopard frog (L. chiricahuensis). Results from robust-design Cormack-Jolly-Seber models suggested that survival of bullfrogs was influenced by sex and precipitation but not body condition. Survival was higher for females (mean = 0.37; 95% , 0.72) than males (mean = 0.17; 95% , 0.49), and declined with reduced annual precipitation (mean = −0.36, 95% = −2.09, 0.84). These survival estimates can be incorporated into models of population dynamics and to help predict spread of bullfrogs.
The participle as a component of the verbal system in Biblical Hebrew
Authors: Joosten Jan 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
In Biblical Hebrew, the active participle has, as may be expected, a number of nominal and adjectival functions. However, it also, in certain contexts, exerts a verbal meaning. In the latter function, the participle is part of the verbal paradigm, expressing a range of nuances some of which—notably the expression of the “real present”—cannot be expressed by any other verbal form. The main verbal functions of the participle are exemplified in the paper. Also a diachronic trajectory of syntactic change is described leading from the “classical” Biblical Hebrew of the monarchic period (tenth to seventh centuries BCE) to early post-biblical Hebrew (first century BCE).

Published: June 2020

Background: Schizophrenia is one of the most complicated psychiatric disorders, and, although medication therapy continues to be the core treatment for schizophrenia, there is a need for psychotherapy that helps in providing patients comprehensive mental health care. Psychoeducation is one of the most recognized psychosocial interventions specific to schizophrenia. Further knowledge about the impact of this type of intervention on patients diagnosed with schizophrenia needs to be acquired. Aim: This review aimed to explore the effects of psychoeducational interventions on improving outcome measures for patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline was used in this systematic review. Two reviewers were involved in screening articles for inclusion and in the data extraction process. The selected studies were assessed for quality using the ‘Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trial (CONSORT)’ checklist. Out of the 441 records identified, 11 papers were considered for full review (from 2000 to 2018). Results: The psychoeducational interventions showed a consistent improvement in many outcome measures. Most of the reviewed studies focused on outpatients and the method of delivering the psychoeducational interventions was mostly in lecture format. Conclusion: This systematic review of randomized controlled trial studies emphasizes the positive impact of psychoeducational interventions for patients diagnosed with schizophrenia concerning various outcome measures. The findings of this review have important implications for both nursing practice and research, as the information presented can be used by the administrators and stakeholders of mental health facilities to increase their understanding and awareness of the importance of integrating psychoeducational interventions in the routine care of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Objectives Moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with decreased systemic lupus erythematosus risk, but the biologic basis for this association is unknown. We aimed to determine whether moderate alcohol consumption was associated with lower concentrations of systemic lupus erythematosus-associated chemokines/cytokines in an ongoing cohort of female nurses without systemic lupus erythematosus, and whether the association was modified by the presence of systemic lupus erythematosus-related autoantibodies. Methods About 25% of participants from the Nurses’ Health Study ( n = 121,700 women) and Nurses’ Health Study 2 ( n = 116,429) donated a blood sample; of these, 1177 women were without systemic lupus erythematosus at time of donation. Cumulative average and current (within 4 years) intakes of beer, wine or liquor were assessed from pre-blood draw questionnaires. Chemokine/cytokine concentrations (stem cell factor, B-lymphocyte stimulator, interferon-inducible protein-10, interferon-alpha, interleukin-10) and antibodies against dsDNA and extractable nuclear antigens were obtained using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Antinuclear antibodies were detected by indirect immunofluorescence on HEp-2 cells. Results At blood draw, the women’s mean age was 56 years and 22% were antinuclear antibody positive; 36% were African-American. About half (46%) reported consuming 0–5 g/day of alcohol. Stem cell factor levels were 0.5% lower ( p < 0.0001) for every gram per day increase in cumulative average alcohol consumption. Women who consumed >5 g/day had mean stem cell factor levels 7% lower ( p = 0.002) than non-drinkers. Other cytokines were not significantly associated with alcohol intake. Autoantibody status did not modify observed associations. Conclusion In this study of female nurses, moderate alcohol consumption was associated with lower stem cell factor levels, suggesting a plausible mechanism through which alcohol may lower systemic lupus erythematosus risk might be by decreasing circulating stem cell factor.

Published: June 2020

Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors are associated with unique autoimmune side effects that differ from traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy. Pharmacists may play an important role in providing key supportive care measures necessary to aid patients and oncologists through immune-related adverse events (irAEs). This study aims to evaluate the impact of a pharmacist-managed irAE protocol in an oncology clinic. Methods This study is a retrospective chart review of the implementation of a pilot irAE pharmacy protocol. Patients treated with an immune checkpoint inhibitor and subsequently identified to have dermatologic, gastrointestinal, hepatic, or thyroid toxicities and managed under the pilot irAE pharmacy protocol from 1 October 2018 to 28 February 2019 were enrolled. Study endpoints included number of pharmacist interventions and physician satisfaction. Additional endpoints included pharmacotherapy initiated, dose adjustments, and patient follow-ups. Results From 1 October 2018, to 28 February 2019, 17 patients were referred and approved by their primary oncologists for pharmacy management under the pilot irAE protocol. During the pilot period, pharmacists initiated 21 new medications for the treatment of irAEs, including thyroid hormone replacement in 7 patients (41%) and oral corticosteroids in 6 patients (35%) with a total of 28 dose adjustments. In addition, the pilot protocol included an assessment of physician satisfaction, which showed a reduced number of physician hours per month managing irAEs, increased physician confidence in irAE management, and a desire for continued pharmacist-management of irAEs. Conclusions Oncology pharmacists had an impact on management of toxicities in our oncology clinic as indicated by the pharmacist interventions and physician satisfaction.

Published: June 2020

Introduction Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) may affect adherence to planned chemotherapy treatments and compromise patients’ quality of life during the therapy. NEPA is an oral fixed combination of netupitant, a highly-selective NK1-RA and palonosetron, a 5HT3-RA, approved for the prevention of acute and delayed CINV. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NEPA with dexamethasone for CINV prophylaxis in the challenging setting of carboplatin and gemcitabine combination chemotherapy, after failure of prophylaxis with 5HT3 receptor antagonist. Methods Eligible patients were undergoing carboplatin and gemcitabine combination chemotherapy for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian cancer or urothelial cancer and experienced nausea and/or vomiting after the first cycle of chemotherapy, despite an antiemetic prophylaxis with a 5HT3-RA and dexamethasone. Primary efficacy endpoint was complete response (CR: no emesis, no rescue medication) obtained with NEPA, during the overall phase (0–120 h), after the start of chemotherapy. Results During the first cycle of chemotherapy, 15 out of 30 (50%) patients did not properly control CINV with a 5HT3-RA plus dexamethasone used as primary antiemetic prophylaxis and then were switched to NEPA from the subsequent cycle. During NEPA administration, 13 out of 15 patients (86.7%) achieved an overall CR (no emesis, no rescue medication). Antiemetic treatment with NEPA was very well tolerated with only two patients (13.3%) that experienced a grade 1 TEAE. Conclusions Our experience showed that NEPA has proven to be very effective and well tolerated in the prophylaxis of CINV induced by carboplatin-based chemotherapy.

Published: June 2020

Introduction Clinical indications of immune checkpoint inhibitors have expanded to a variety of malignancies. Approximately one in six patients with hepatocellular carcinoma respond to programmed death 1 inhibitors nivolumab and pembrolizumab. Case report We report herein a patient with synchronous metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma and advanced papillary thyroid carcinoma treated with nivolumab in the second-line therapy. Management and outcome: The hepatocellular carcinoma showed a durable response to the second-line agent nivolumab. Remarkably, the patient’s papillary thyroid carcinoma also responded to this programmed death 1 inhibitor. Discussion To our knowledge, this is the first case report showing the efficacy of nivolumab in the treatment of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma. Further studies with immune checkpoint inhibitors in papillary thyroid carcinoma seem warranted.

Sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder are prevalent and persistent but also treatable. Little is known about how and why parents of such children seek help for sleep disturbance. Via an online survey ( n = 244 respondents), we gathered information about parents’ attributions about children’s sleep problems and beliefs about causes and on sources of information about, and their decisions regarding, help-seeking. Eighty-two percent of parents reported seeking some kind of help for their child’s sleep disturbance, and the average parent had tried six different treatment strategies, most commonly medical. Alignment of parents’ treatment choices with empirical evidence about treatment efficacy was poor, but belief in effectiveness was closely related to frequency of use of a treatment. In a Principal Components Analysis, parental attributions loaded on two factors: one which suggests the sleep problems are viewed as intrinsic to autism and stable (factor one) and the other as located within the child, stable, and treatment resistant (factor two). These findings have important implications for parental education and clinical practice in the treatment of sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder. Lay abstract Sleep problems are commonly reported among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Without effective treatment, such problems are unlikely to resolve. To date, we know very little about how and why parents of children with ASD seek help for sleep disturbance. Via an online survey, we gathered information about how parents make sense of their children’s sleep problems, beliefs about their causes, sources of information, and help-seeking behavior. The analysis of responses from 244 parents revealed that parents commonly view sleep problems (a) as a consequence of their child’s ASD, and unlikely to change over time (stable), and (b) as located within the child (intrinsic), stable over time, and difficult to treat. Despite this, parents also rated sleep problems as being important to treat. Eighty-two percent of parents surveyed reported seeking some kind of help for their child’s sleep disturbance, and the average parent had tried six different treatment strategies, most commonly medical approaches (e.g. melatonin). The alignment between parents’ treatment choices and those strategies that are supported by research was poor, but belief in the effectiveness of treatments was closely related to how often the treatment was used. These findings have important implications for parental education and clinical practice in the treatment of sleep problems in children with ASD.

Summary Placement in a foster family by child welfare services is a crucial decision in the trajectory of a child. Nevertheless, the strategies and procedures underlying the decision to remove a child from his/her family for placement in foster care remain little studied. Based on 39 semi-directed individual interviews with social workers from child welfare services, the current study aims at highlighting how social workers come to the decision to remove a child from parental care, and how they choose a foster family. Findings The thematic analysis of the qualitative data collected reveals that four main components were raised by social workers to explain how they make their decisions regarding placement and what are the considerations associated with this process: (1) Professional consensus and collaboration, (2) Clinical and legal guidelines, (3) Risk assessment and clinical judgment, and (4) Personality and values of the social worker. The results of this study show that decisions surrounding the removal of a child from his/her family and the choice of a foster family are the result of multiples factors and strategies involving the social worker and other collaborating professionals, as well as their legal and administrative context. Application The findings suggest that additional efforts could be made in child protection organizations and agencies in order to develop supportive measures that take into account the collective and interactional aspect of the decision-making process regarding placement in foster care.
