AbstractBackground and purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of late onset (≥50 years) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (LO‐NMOSD), and compare them with those of early onset (<50 years) NMOSD (EO‐NMOSD) and NMOSD with various antibody serostatuses.MethodsFrom January 2015 to December 2020, 360 anti‐aquaporin 4 antibody (AQP4‐ab)‐positive and 130 anti‐myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG‐ab)‐positive patients presented to the Huashan Hospital, China. We retrospectively reviewed their medical records, including the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score at each visit and the annualized relapse rate (ARR). Prognostic outcomes included the time to first relapse, blindness, motor dysfunction, severe motor dysfunction, and death. Correlations between the age at onset, lesion location, and clinical parameters were analyzed.ResultsThis study included 122 (24.9%) patients with LO‐NMOSD, 101 with AQP4‐ab and 21 with MOG‐ab. Compared with EO‐NMOSD patients, those with LO‐NMOSD had higher EDSS scores and more frequent disease onset with transverse myelitis, blindness, motor dysfunction, and severe motor dysfunction. Compared with LO‐NMOSD patients with MOG‐ab, those with AQP4‐ab had a worse prognosis. Age at disease onset had a significantly positive correlation with EDSS score at the last follow‐up of all NMOSD patients, but a negative correlation with ARR‐1 (ARR excluding the first attack, calculated from disease onset to final follow‐up) in NMOSD patients with AQP4‐ab.ConclusionsPatients with LO‐NMOSD, especially those with AQP4‐ab, had a worse prognosis compared with patients with EO‐NMOSD. Age at disease onset and antibody serostatus predicted blindness and motor dysfunction.

Published: December 2021

AbstractThe development of knowledge sharing platforms, like scientific social networks encourages researchers to establish international collaboration in scientific projects. After reviewing the previous methods for collaborator detection in social networks, gaps in the earlier models are investigated, and the present study aims at filling the gaps by introducing a new scientific collaborator recommendation system. Accordingly, in the present paper, an integrated model is presented based on multilayer networks that can personalize the proposing scientific collaborators. Our proposed model involves various types of collaboration features based on researchers' needs. In our method a scientific social network is modelled as a multi‐relational network (MRN), in which collaborators are determined by a community detection algorithm. It provides us with an approach to integrate the personalized features into the collaborator detection model that is due to the essence of semi‐supervisory learning of our community detection algorithm. This MRN helps us prevent information loss in the network. We considered two techniques for examining the models. The first one was General Collaborator Recommendation, and the second one was a Collaborator with Personalization Ability. The proposed method is applied to the data of the ResearchGate (RG) social network and is evaluated by criteria, such as F index and NMI.

Published: December 2021

AbstractSuicide continues to impact rural and regional families and communities across Australia and has become a key focus of healthcare, research, and government policy in recent years. The challenge for healthcare organizations is to translate policy visions and research for clinicians to effectively embed in day to day practice when supporting people who experience suicidal crisis. This study explored the introduction of an evidence‐based Zero Suicide framework that includes a suicide prevention pathway and training package to a rural and regional community mental health team in Victoria, Australia. A qualitative semi‐structured interview technique was used to explore the perceptions of mental health clinicians of the Zero Suicide approach, the training package and the barriers to inform its implementation across a specialist mental health service. Clinicians were complimentary of the intent of Zero Suicide and the training package and felt they had increased confidence in delivering suicide safe care. Four major themes were identified through thematic analysis: (i) Minimizing risk with realistic expectations; (ii) A good approach to making a difference; (iii) Lessons learnt; and (iv) Barriers to implementation needing to change culture. Overall participants identified the importance of continued regular suicide prevention training for all staff but also in tailoring it to different consumer and clinician needs. In addition, organizational structure and adequate staff resourcing were important to participants as was working within a safety culture.

Published: December 2021

AbstractCommunity science projects offered in urban areas may be particularly effective at addressing environmental problems and engaging people in science, especially individuals whose identities have historically been underrepresented in the field. In this project, we worked with individuals from a racially diverse, low‐income community in San Diego, California to conduct community science to: 1) test a conceptual program model aimed at engaging diverse communities in science, and 2) contribute to scientific knowledge about the inputs and accumulations of trash in an urban watershed. While the program model did well at bolstering environmental stewardship, recruitment, and short‐term retention of community members as project participants, it was not as effective at building science understanding, interest in science, and awareness of doing science, indicating a need for a mindset approach. Despite this, the data collected by the community between 2014–2018 revealed in‐depth information about the spatial and temporal distributions of trash, including the identification of three main debris inputs: encampments, illegal dumping, and storm drain flows, as well as the validation of global trends of a predominance of plastics across waterways and through time. In a few instances, community stewards became community scientists—the quantity and quality of data collected improved, and community members presented results to authorities who responded with concordant management actions (e.g., help with cleanups, outreach to unhoused communities). Based on project outcomes, our revised community science program model includes a focus on strengthening a science mindset, in which even short‐term science interventions that improve the recognition of science, a sense of belonging, and access to mentorship may have meaningful long‐lasting effects on increased participation in science.

Published: December 2021

AbstractIt is important for stakeholders, scientists, industry, lawyers, and decision‐makers to understand the varying approaches to regulating drinking water contaminants. To increase awareness and understanding among stakeholder audiences of the legal framework for drinking water protection, the National Sea Grant Law Center (NSGLC) at the University of Mississippi School of Law has developed and implemented research and extension projects for lead, nitrates, and per‐and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS). The NSGLC's mission is to encourage a well‐informed constituency by providing legal information and analysis to the Sea Grant community, policy makers, and the general public through a variety of products and services. For each contaminant, the NSGLC conducted legal research to identify relevant laws, regulations, policies, and court decisions to gain an in‐depth understanding of the existing legal framework. The NSGLC then translated its information on the current legal framework, identified gaps, and potential solutions into a variety of outreach programming. For each of the relevant drinking water contaminants, the NSGLC has taken different outreach approaches. For lead, the NSGLC has worked with an interdisciplinary academic team to conduct community‐based research and outreach directly to families. With nitrates, the NSGLC has focused more on professional development for attorneys, natural resource managers, and other policy makers. With PFAS, the NSGLC is proposing a hybrid approach, drawing on lessons learned from its previous projects and the COVID‐19 pandemic, to disseminate information to both professionals and communities. This case study will synthesize key findings on the legal overview, potential legal issues, and outreach efforts for lead, nitrates, and PFAS.

Published: December 2021

AbstractMany of today's water resources challenges are wicked problems, demanding innovative solutions across the science‐policy‐management nexus. Simultaneously, early‐career researchers in water resources face a shifting professional landscape in which academic career paths are sparse but where versatile skill sets relevant to water resources issues in governments, non‐governmental organizations, and the private sector are in high demand. Here, we describe an adaptable fellowship model that has proven to be a “win‐win‐win” for early‐career researchers, government agencies, and universities tackling wicked water resources challenges in Wisconsin, USA. The fellowship program recruits post‐masters and post‐doctoral fellows to lead research on a water resources challenge identified as a high priority by a government agency partner. Fellows receive mentorship from both academic and agency mentors and co‐produce actionable knowledge. Costs and administrative responsibilities are shared by the university (Sea Grant/Water Resources Institute) and the host agency. Since its inception in 2015, this program has trained 24 fellows across 11 host programs on issues that range from highly quantitative water quality and hydrogeological questions to qualitative assessments of fisheries management and coastal hazards. In this arrangement, fellows receive collaborative and cross‐disciplinary training that prepares them well for diverse career paths, government agencies benefit from new knowledge targeted at pressing water resources management questions, and university institutions accomplish their missions of training researchers and developing actionable knowledge. We describe this model's applicability to other regions and institutions. Ultimately, this type of program benefits society by building long‐term capacity for collaboration which addresses wicked water problems.

AbstractTextured piezoelectric ceramics, such as textured Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3‐PbTiO3 (PMN‐PT) ceramics, have attracted considerable attention from both academia and industry, as they possess crystal‐like piezoelectric properties, high composition homogeneity, and low manufacturing cost. However, the main difficulty with the textured piezoelectric ceramics is the presence of BaTiO3 (BT) templates, which greatly reduces their piezoelectricity and phase transition temperature. Thus, it is highly recommended to fabricate textured piezoelectric ceramics using as few templates as possible. Here, we successfully fabricated high‐quality <001>‐textured PMN‐28PT ceramics (texturing degree of 99%) by using an extremely small amount of BT templates (1 vol.%) with the help of CuO/B2O3 sintering aids. The textured PMN‐28PT ceramic exhibits 80% piezoelectric coefficient (d33 ∼ 1200 pC/N), 96% electromechanical coefficient (k33 ∼ 88%) and the same temperature stability (Trt ∼ 100, Tc ∼ 150°C) when compared to its single crystal counterpart. In addition, by using an alternating current electric field poling (AC‐poling), the piezoelectric coefficient d33 and dielectric permittivity ε33 of the textured PMN‐28PT ceramics were further enhanced around 5–8%. It is believed that the advantages of high electromechanical properties, low cost, and easy mass production of textured PMN‐28PT ceramic will make it a promising candidate for advanced electromechanical devices.

AbstractThe development of electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials with lightweight, wide absorption bandwidth, thin thickness, and strong EMW absorption performance has become a hotspot. Herein, the morphology‐controlled preparation of α‐manganese dioxide (α‐MnO2) was successfully obtained via a facile hydrothermal method, and the EMW absorption performance of α‐MnO2 was investigated in detail. The results indicated the as‐obtained Mn‐1.0‐120 possessed the best EMW absorption performance with minimum reflection loss of −53.43 dB at about 5.2 GHz with a thickness of 4.1 mm originated from the synergistic effects of multiply scattering, dielectric loss, and magnetic loss. This contribution demonstrates that the MnO2 has promising candidates with a tunable EMW absorption performance for applications in the electromagnetic field in the future.

AbstractBackgroundHospitalized older adults have a high prevalence of polypharmacy and medication inaccuracies. Gathering the best possible medication history (BPMH) is necessary to accurately identify each medication for multimorbid older adults. The objective was to describe a multipronged approach to obtaining the BPMH for hospitalized older adults, quantify the medication discrepancies identified through these sources, and explore factors associated with these discrepancies.MethodsCross‐sectional analysis of 372 hospitalized older adults (age ≥ 50) transitioning to post‐acute care as part of a randomized controlled trial to reduce medication burden. We used four information sources to yield a BPMH. Medication discrepancies at hospital admission were categorized as omissions, additions, and dose discrepancies after comparing alternate sources with the electronic medical record (EMR). Multivariate regression analysis, including patient factors (e.g., age, prehospital medication count, number of pharmacies), was performed to identify factors associated with the total count of medication discrepancies.ResultsNinety percent of participants had at least one medication discrepancy and 46% used more than one pharmacy. The majority of discrepancies were omissions. Among the entire cohort, there was a median of two omitted medications per patient across two alternate sources—pharmacy refill history and bedside interview. Lower age, greater total number of prehospital medications, and admission from assisted living or skilled nursing facility were significantly associated with greater medication discrepancies.ConclusionA multipronged and consistent approach to obtain a BPMH during hospitalization for multimorbid older adults revealed medication discrepancies that should be addressed prior to hospital discharge to support safe prescribing practices.

Published: December 2021

AbstractBanks, life insurers, and commercial mortgage‐backed security (CMBS) lenders originate the vast majority of U.S. commercial real estate (CRE) loans. While these lenders compete in the same market, they differ in how they are funded and regulated, and therefore, specialize in loans with different characteristics. We harmonize loan‐level data across the lenders and review how their CRE portfolios differ. We then exploit cross‐sectional differences in loan portfolios to estimate a simple model of frictional substitution across lender types. The substitution patterns in the model match well the observed shift away from CMBS when spreads rose in late 2015 and early 2016. Counterfactuals suggest that the ability to substitute to other lenders offsets about 20% of the effect of a 25 basis point CMBS supply shock.
The Missing Inflation Puzzle: The Role of the Wage‐Price Pass‐Through

Published: December 2021

AbstractPrice inflation in the U.S. has been slow to pick up in the last two decades. We show that this missing inflation can be traced to a growing disconnect between unemployment and core goods inflation. We exploit rich industry‐level data to show that weakening pass‐through from wages to prices in the goods‐producing sector is an important source of the slow inflation pickup. We develop a theory where markups and pass‐through depend on firms' market shares and show that increased import competition and rising market concentration reduce pass‐through from wages to prices. We find strong empirical support for these predictions.
Catching hold of COVID‐19‐related encephalitis by tracking ANGPTL4 signature in blood
Authors: Chakraborty Surajit , Basu Anirban 
Published: December 2021

AbstractInfection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) in humans is characterized by a plethora of symptoms varying in intensity, such as non‐specific febrile illness, dry cough, dyspnea, hypoxemia to severe lung damage, and even death. In addition to pulmonary complications associated with coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19), perturbations in the physiology of multiple other organ systems have been reported, resulting in multiorgan failure (MoF) that is frequently observed in severe COVID‐19 cases. Central nervous system (CNS) infection by SARS‐CoV‐2 is characterized by neurological impairments in patients with COVID‐19, with the development of encephalopathy at the severe end of the spectrum. While mechanistic investigations of SARS‐CoV‐2‐related encephalitis may reveal promising therapeutic candidates for reducing COVID‐19‐associated disease morbidity, the discovery of biomarkers capable of diagnosing and predicting prognosis in patients with encephalitis upon SARS‐CoV‐2 infection will afford significant value for the rapid detection of encephalitis and predicting disease outcomes. This will ultimately enable appropriate modifications of therapeutic regimens aimed at reducing disease morbidity and mortality. In this editorial, we highlight a study by Le Guennec and colleagues, entitled “Endothelial cell biomarkers in critically ill COVID‐19‐patients with encephalitis”, reporting the association of increased serum angiopoietin‐like 4 (ANGPTL4) abundance with COVID‐19‐related encephalitis. The study highlights ANGPTL4 as a potential molecular marker for this disease. These novel findings may catalyze developments in the field of COVID‐19‐associated encephalitis by facilitating accurate and rapid diagnosis of encephalitis and timely treatment initiation, thus improving patient outcomes by ameliorating disease burden.

Published: December 2021

AbstractBackgroundFacial skin redness can have a negative impact on the quality of life. In this study, we investigated the skin biophysical parameters associated with facial skin redness as a function of aging.MethodsOur aims were as follows: (1) to understand the impact of non‐pathological facial skin redness on the quality of life of Korean women through a survey; and (2) compare skin biophysical properties between women with and without facial skin redness.ResultsWomen aged between 20 and 39 years perceived their own facial skin redness at a higher rate than those aged ≥40 years. In addition, in redness‐prone women, the intensity of skin redness and skin surface perfusion were higher, while skin hydration was lower regardless of age. In redness‐prone women aged ≥40 years, the values for transepidermal water loss, elasticity, and skin thickness were lower, and the mean pore depth was greater. Facial redness intensity was higher, and the distribution was wider in redness‐prone younger women, while only redness intensity increased in the older age group.ConclusionsOverall, redness‐prone women aged ≥40 years had weaker skin properties. Our study indicated the age‐related biophysical characteristics of non‐pathological facial skin redness. We believe that our findings will help improve its negative effects.

AbstractThis study was aimed to explore the effects of dietary plant essential oil (PEO) supplementation on growth performance and meat quality in finishing pigs. A total of eighteen Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire finishing barrows with an average initial body weight of 79.86 ± 1.94 kg were randomly assigned to CON group (fed with a basal diet) and PEO group (fed with the basal diet containing 200 mg/kg PEO) with 9 replicates per treatment. The trial lasted for 42 days. The results showed that dietary PEO supplementation significantly increased ADG during phase I (1–21 days) and the overall experimental period (p < 0.05), tended to increase ADFI in phase II (22–42 days) and the overall experimental period (p = 0.09), decreased F/G in phase I (p < 0.05) and tended to decrease F/G during the overall experimental period (p = 0.08). Meanwhile, compared to the CON group, the digestibility of DM, GE and EE in the PEO group was improved remarkably (p < 0.05). PEO supplementation also significantly improved T‐AOC and lowered MDA content in longissimus dorsi (p < 0.05), tended to increase the activity of T‐SOD (p = 0.06). A higher IMF content (p = 0.09) and a lower shear force (p = 0.08) of longissimus dorsi were found in the PEO group than that in CON group (p = 0.09). Furthermore, pigs fed the PEO diet showed higher mRNA abundances of GLUT4, LPL, CPT‐1, CD36, FABP and LDL‐R in the liver, and GLUT4 and FAS in the longissimus dorsi (p < 0.05). In conclusion, PEO fed to finishing pigs improved the growth performance and nutrient digestibility. Furthermore, PEO supplementation had the potential role to improve pork quality by increasing the antioxidant capacity and IMF content, and decreasing the shear force of longissimus dorsi to a certain extent.
