Fighting the Good Fight Around the World
Authors: Borum Caty , Conrad-Pérez David 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The journey of the book begins with a firm positioning of its major themes, situating the contemporary moment for independent documentary storytelling around the world. Chapter 1 provides the necessary foundation to explain the broad functions of documentary storytelling as a mechanism for social change—as a monitor, creatively artistic interpreter of events and issues, form of counternarrative that reveals realities often marginalized in broader news media systems, mobilizer of people and communities, and force that strengthens civil society in pursuit of social good and justice. This chapter introduces the chief questions and preoccupations of the book: What roles do independent documentary stories play around the world in a social justice context, against a backdrop of commercial media consolidation, technology platform dominance, and government repression? How do documentaries fight for justice and freedom of expression around the globe, alongside and bolstering the work of civil society? The first chapter provides a clear articulation of the book’s major claims, and it sets up a roadmap overview of the full volume, chapter by chapter.
Confronting Government Power
Authors: Borum Caty , Conrad-Pérez David 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
“Confronting Government Power” showcases social-issue documentaries around the world that speak often-inconvenient truths to systems of power, from government to corporate. Across the globe, populism often facilitates political order through repression and control of publics and media, posing threats even in democratic forms of government. Through observational, intimate, expansive storytelling, the documentary stories in this chapter showcase and push back on repressive institutions of power, offering cautionary historical lessons and warning bells for a range of contests, including All In: The Fight for Democracy (United States) and The Silence of Others (Spain).
Introduction
Authors: Gawne Lauren 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to Gesture Studies, and to the aims of this book. Gesture is an integral part of human communication, but one that does not always receive a lot of attention in academic research. The growth of the field of Gesture Studies has resulted in research from a range of disciplines that highlights the important role that gesture plays in human interaction. An understanding of gesture is relevant to anyone who has an interest in human communication. Gesture Studies is a highly interdisciplinary field that includes work from researchers in psychology, anthropology, linguistics, primatology, and more, and touches on interaction in varied domains including first and second language acquisition, artistic performance, and online interaction.
Gesture categorization
Authors: Gawne Lauren 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of major gesture categories identified in the Gesture Studies literature, including their features and implications for our understanding of human communication. We begin with an overview of the history of gesture categorization, and the way gesture categorization draws on both form and function to distinguish between types of gestures. We then look at five major categories of gesture; iconic, metaphoric, deictic, beat, and recurrent, and additionally look at emblems. For each category there is a definition, examples, a history of terminology, and a discussion of key literature. This chapter also includes discussion of the complexities of applying a category approach to gesture.
Gesture acquisition and use
Authors: Gawne Lauren 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this chapter, we look at gesture use in a wide variety of contexts. We start with an exploration of the role gesture plays in interaction for both the speaker and the addressee. People will vary their use of gesture depending on their audience, but gesture may also be useful for the speaker as well. We then look at the role of gesture in language development, from our earliest acquisition of language, through later childhood. We also look at the role gesture plays for children who are raised in a ‘homesign’ context and for village and local sign languages. Finally, we look at gesture in multilingual contexts, and specifically for second language learners.
The past and future
Authors: Gawne Lauren 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter looks back to the role of gesture in the origins of human language, and then looks at the current and future role of gesture in modern digital communication. The chapter outlines some of the main arguments in the debate about the role of gesture in the development of modern human language. It also considers the evidence for gesture-like behaviour in other animals, including primates and non-primates before turning to the future of human gesture. Gesture Studies is informing the way we communicate with digital devices, and shaping how those devices and avatars are gesturing to us in return. Finally, the chapter examines the ways we continue to gesture to each other in digital formats, and how online communication is returning to centring gesture as part of human communication.
Synchronising anti-predator behaviour in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
Authors: Matsumura Kentarou 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In many animals, a phenomenon is often observed in which behaviour depends on population density and many individuals within the group synchronise their state of behaviour to some extent, and theoretical studies have suggested that this synchronisation phenomenon is adaptive for predation avoidance. Moreover, death-feigning behaviour (DF) has been observed as an anti-predator strategy in many animals. There are large individual differences in the duration of DF, and the optimal duration of DF often varies depending on the situation. Therefore, although it is expected that prey may synchronise with others around them for an optimal DF duration, there are few experimental studies testing this hypothesis. This study investigated whether DF duration varies with and without other individuals, and whether it synchronised with the DF duration of other individuals, in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. This study used populations with genetically longer (L-population) and shorter (S-population) DF duration and measured DF duration when maintained alone and cohabitated with individuals from the L- and S-populations, respectively. The results showed that the DF duration of individuals living alone increased significantly compared to pre-treatment. Moreover, individuals that cohabitated with S populations were significantly shorter after cohabitation, but the presence of the L population did not cause any changes in how individuals synchronised their activities. When many individuals had shorter DF durations, DF was synchronised towards shorter durations. This is the first study to illustrate the synchronisation of anti-predator behaviour in terms of DF behaviour.
Management of an asymptomatic pulmonary arteriovenous fistula diagnosed prenatally by detachable balloon embolization: a case report
Authors: Li Wenjuan , Zhao Pengjun , Chen Sun 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (PAVFs) are abnormal vascular malformations that connect pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins, resulting in a right-to-left shunt. This anatomical shunt leads to a decrease in arterial oxygen saturation. Patients with PAVFs are usually treated with embolization or surgical procedures.

Case summary
A 15-month-old child was diagnosed with PAVF in utero at 36 weeks’ gestational age. The patient had no history of dyspnoea, repeated haemoptysis, or pneumonia, and there was no relevant family history. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed a bilobed opacity located in the inferior lobe of the right lung, and an echocardiogram detected a small atrial septal defect with positive contrast echocardiography. The patient underwent successful embolization using a detachable balloon catheter due to the relatively large diameter of the fistula. After the surgery, a significant decrease in flow was observed in the fistula, and the contrast is no longer visible.

Discussion
Here, we report a case of a paediatric patient with congenital asymptomatic PAVF, diagnosed prenatally, and successfully treated with detachable balloon embolization. The case illustrates the detachable occlusion balloons appear to be an effective tool for embolization of PAVF in children, especially in cases involving large feeding vessels.
Joining Forces: A Complex Cardio-Obstetrics Case Report of Severe Ergometrine-Induced Vasospasm
Authors: Radhakrishna Avinash , Burke Cathy , Barry Patrick , Cawley Christian , Cronin Heather 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Ergometrine is part of the current guideline-directed management of post-partum haemorrhage (PPH). However, it is also a potent vasoconstrictor capable of causing significant coronary artery vasospasm in susceptible individuals.

Case Summary
A 31-year-old primigravida suffered from post-partum haemorrhagic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation following vaginal delivery. She was urgently resuscitated with intravenous fluids and blood products. Intramuscular ergometrine was administered and surgery was required due to retained placenta. Two days later upon extubation, she demonstrated symptoms of speech apraxia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed extensive cerebral and cerebellar infarction with subcortical sparring. Her electrocardiogram showed diffuse T-wave inversions and a high-sensitivity troponin-I peaked at 37,000 ng/L. Echocardiography showed severe left ventricular (LV) failure, apical akinesia and thrombi formation. One week later, she suffered a middle cerebral artery stroke causing aphasia and right-sided hemiparesis, necessitating emergency thrombectomy. Cardiovascular MRI showed moderate LV systolic impairment and focal apical infarction. Coronary angiography was unremarkable. The most likely unifying diagnosis was severe ergotamine-induced coronary vasospasm causing acute myocardial infarction in the setting of life-threatening PPH. Following three weeks of multi-disciplinary care, her speech and motor abilities improved. She was discharged on long-acting nitrates, oral anticoagulation and heart failure therapy with close outpatient monitoring. Subsequent echocardiograms showed marked improvement in LV ejection fraction (45-50%).

Conclusion
This case highlights the potential life-threatening complications of ergometrine and the importance of recognising pregnancy-associated myocardial infarction as a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. The cardio-obstetrics team plays a pivotal role in improving patient outcomes.
Sense of coherence and quality of life in the recovery of women and men with myocardial infarction: A 10-year follow-up study
Authors: Malm Dan , Mårtensson Jan , Årestedt Kristofer 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim
Sense of coherence (SOC) allows individuals to be more resilient to adverse life events and it is associated with quality of life (QoL), but its long-term effects are unknown in patients with myocardial infarction. This study aimed to examine longitudinal variations of SOC and associations between SOC at baseline and QoL at a 10-year follow-up in relation to gender.

Method and results
This longitudinal study included 61 patients, 16 women and 45 men with a mean age of 57.1 ± 6.5 years, who completed a questionnaire package in relation to hospital discharge, two years, five years, and 10 years later. The questionnaire package included the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-13), 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), and Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). Data were analysed with repeated measure ANOVA and linear regression. Overall, SOC was stable over the 10-year follow-up, but Comprehensibility improved significantly (p = 0.003). A significant main effect for gender was shown regarding SOC total (p = 0.032) and Comprehensibility (p = 0.034); women reported lower SOC compared to men. An interaction effect between gender and time was shown in Comprehensibility (p = 0.007), as the differences between genders decreased over time. SOC-13 was significantly associated with all dimensions of QoL; three significant interaction effects showed that the associations was true for women but not men.

Conclusion
SOC is an important aspect to consider in the care of patients with myocardial infarction, as it is associated with long-term QoL, particularly for women. This means that SOC can also be used to identify patients who are at risk for poor QoL after a myocardial infarction.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aims
Risk estimation of different types of cardiovascular events (CVE) following a hospitalisation for exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (exCOPD) is warranted to consider prevention.

Methods
A case-crossover study was conducted using the French exhaustive hospital discharge database (2013-2019). Case-patients had a diagnosis of COPD, hospitalised for a CVE in France in 2018-2019 (admission date was index date) with no other CVE in ≤12 months, and had ≥1 hospitalisation for exCOPD ≤24 weeks before index CVE. The key exposure was hospitalisation for exCOPD (overall and according to levels of care intensity) ≤1-4 weeks versus 9-24 weeks preceding the CVE. Conditional logistic regression models estimated odds ratios (OR) for the association between hospitalisation for exCOPD and different types of CVE.

Results
Among 9,840 case-patients, the most frequent CVE was decompensated heart failure (5,888 case-patients, 59.8%). The CVE risk was greater ≤4 weeks after a hospitalisation for any exCOPD (OR, 3.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.90–3.16) and 7 times greater if mechanical ventilation was necessary (OR, 6.99; 95% CI, 6.09–8.03). The risk of NSTEMI (OR, 5.33; 95% CI, 4.47–6.34) was the highest among CVE. The risk was also significantly increased (p&lt;0.05) for many other CVE: STEMI (OR, 4.24), resuscitated cardiac arrest (OR, 4.33), pulmonary embolism (OR, 4.02), atrial fibrillation/flutter (OR, 3.03), ischaemic stroke (OR, 1.93) and limb events (1.34). Ten percent of CVE were fatal.

Conclusion
Following hospitalisation for exCOPD, the risk of cardiovascular complications is increased. These patients require close and sustained monitoring to mitigate CVE risk.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

OBJECTIVES
Cognitive change is a complex phenomenon encompassing both retest-related performance gains and potential cognitive decline. Disentangling these dynamics is necessary for effective tracking of subtle cognitive change and risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD).

METHOD
We applied a computational cognitive model of learning and forgetting to data from Einstein Aging Study (EAS; n = 316). EAS participants completed multiple bursts of ultra-brief, high-frequency cognitive assessments on smartphones. Analyzing response time data from a measure of visual short-term working memory, the Color Shapes task, and from a measure of processing speed, the Symbol Search task, we extracted several key cognitive markers: short-term intraindividual variability in performance, within-burst retest learning and asymptotic (peak) performance, across-burst change in asymptote and forgetting of retest gains.

RESULTS
Asymptotic performance was related to both mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and age, and there was evidence of asymptotic slowing over time. Long-term forgetting, learning rate, and within-person variability uniquely signified MCI, irrespective of age.

DISCUSSION
Computational cognitive markers hold promise as sensitive and specific indicators of preclinical cognitive change, aiding risk identification and targeted interventions.
How often and why do people manage their emotions in older adulthood?
Authors: Springstein Tabea , English Tammy 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objectives
Prominent theories of adult development suggest individuals increasingly prioritize emotional goals and social relationships as they age. Accordingly, older adults are expected to invest more in maintaining their emotional well-being compared to younger adults. Prior work suggests older adults may accomplish this goal by structuring their lives in ways that reduce the need to actively manage unwanted emotion. We tested the hypotheses that (1) older adults regulate their emotions less often in daily life compared to younger adults, and (2) when emotion regulation occurs, older adults are more motivated than younger adults by pro-hedonic and social concerns.

Method
Using experience sampling (7x/day for 9 days), we assessed emotion regulation frequency and motives in younger adults (n=75), cognitively normal older adults (n=93), and older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI; n=63).

Results
Emotion regulation was less frequent for older adults with MCI (16%) and without MCI (18%) compared to younger adults (43%), even when controlling for emotional experience. However, few differences in emotion regulation motives emerged and they were not robust to controlling for age group differences in emotion.

Discussion
These findings extend previous work on emotion regulation in aging, which largely has focused on strategies, by documenting age differences in how often, but not why, people regulate. Future work is needed to explore how age-related differences in life contexts might result in less need for emotion regulation in older adults. Conserving effort directed towards emotion regulation could be particularly beneficial among older adults with more limited cognitive resources.
The impact of TRPV4 pathogenic mutations on barrier integrity
Authors: Sampaio Gabriela , Ismaili Taylor , Torkamani Ali , Breckenridge David G , Katana Ashley , Goldstein David B , Sahdeo Sunil 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Pathogenic mutations in the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) gene cause two classes of rare autosomal dominant disorders: peripheral neuropathies and skeletal dysplasias. Although most TRPV4 pathogenic mutations increase ion flux, it remains unclear how different mutations in TRPV4 cause such distinct disease presentations. Through an in vitro cell impedance platform, we showed that TRPV4 overactivity leads to cell barrier disruption, while pharmacological or genetic inhibition of TRPV4 activity protects against barrier disruption. Unexpectedly, we find that mutations causing peripheral neuropathies and metatropic dysplasias are more likely to cause barrier disruption than mutations causing non-metatropic skeletal dysplasia presentations. Finally, we show that a novel TRPV4 inhibitor (ABS-0872) protects cell-barrier disruption and promotes recovery of barrier integrity after damage caused by TRPV4 mutations.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Chronic immunosuppressive therapies are crucial in organ transplantation but can increase the risk of opportunistic infections and cancer over time. We investigated immune status changes in 10 kidney transplant patients and 11 age-matched healthy adults using broad in vitro stimulation of subject-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells followed by mass cytometry by time of flight over 6 mo. Overall, the immune cells of transplant patients exhibited increased CD8+ T cell activation and differentiation compared with healthy donors, with elevated CD8+ CD57+, MIP-1β, and interferon γ production (P &lt; 0.05, P &lt; 0.05, and P &lt; 0.01, respectively). CD107a and granzyme B expression were increased in CD8+ T cells and CD56bright natural killer cells (P &lt; 0.05 and P &lt; 0.01, respectively), while T regulatory cells had decreased interleukin-10 production (P &lt; 0.05). These changes indicated a proinflammatory environment influenced by induction therapy and ongoing maintenance drugs. Additionally, transplant recipients displayed signs of immune modulation, including decreased tumor necrosis factor α, interferon γ, and MIP-1β expression in γδT cells (P &lt; 0.05 and P &lt; 0.01), and reduced interleukin-17 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor expression in CD8+ T memory cell subsets (P &lt; 0.05). The diverse functional changes underscore the importance of comprehensive immune status profiling for optimizing individual treatment strategies and developing better immunosuppressants that specifically target activated cell populations.
Optimizing Salmonella Detection in Beijing’s Surface Water: Unveiling Rare Serotypes with a Modified Moore Swab (MMS) Method
Authors: Wang Xueshuo , Dou Yue , Li Jingyun , Bai Yao , Cui Shenghui 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Salmonella, a notorious foodborne pathogen with a wide range of hosts, poses a significant public health concern globally. Contaminated surface water acts as a potential source of Salmonella transmission.

Objective
To optimize a Salmonella detection method from large-volume water and analyze surface water samples in Beijing and characterize Salmonella isolates from these samples by whole genome sequencing.

Methods
A microbial enrichment device based on the modified Moore swab (MMS) design was optimized and validated. Thirty-five water samples were collected and analyzed for Salmonella from 11 park lakes, two rivers, and two farms. Multiple characteristics of isolates were analyzed using antibiotic antimicrobial testing and whole genome sequencing.

Results
The optimized MMS unit showed high efficiency (over 80% recovery) and a low detection limit (100 cells) for enriching and isolating Salmonella from large-volume water (10 liters). Compared to the conventional method, the MMS device significantly improved Salmonella detection efficiency (62.86 versus 8.57%) in Beijing’s surface water. Most of the Salmonella isolates from surface water belonged to rare serotypes from water wildlife susceptible to all the tested antimicrbials.

Conclusion
The study demonstrates the optimized MMS’s effectiveness for on-site enrichment of pathogens from large-volume water, validates the accuracy and sensitivity of a Salmonella detection method for surface water, and reveals previously unknown information about Salmonella contamination in Beijing’s public water system.

Highlights
Salmonella concentrations in water are typically very low: implementation of this method would successfully realize large-volume water sampling and on-site pathogen enrichment, and significantly improve Salmonella detection efficiency in surface water.
