Authors: AbiÃ§ Arzu , YÄ±lmaz Duygu VefikuluÃ§ay 
Published: July 2021

There are many known and unknown risk factors affecting fertility. Nowadays although infertility risk factors have been revealed with the researches carried out today, studies are still going on for many factors brought about by modern life. Nurses should be aware of risk factors that negatively affect fertility in order to prevent deterioration of fertility abilities of individuals. Infertility nurses should assess life-style behaviors in detail while taking anamnesis from couples who have fertility problems or apply for long-term and financially expensive treatment methods such as assisted reproductive techniques. In addition, nurses should do counseling to couples on lifestyles that have an impact on the fertility of individuals and follow the current literature on the subject. Especially risky lifestyle behaviors should be improved if there is no time problem for the couple. Otherwise, treatment strategies should be developed to change these behaviors and individual care plans should be provided to individuals about healthy lifestyle behaviors. In addition, nurses should train couples for risk factors. In this context, the risk factors causing the infertility and nursing roles will be discussed in our review.

Published: July 2021

Las funciones dadas por reordenaciones de -expansiones de un número suelen ser presentadas como ejemplos de variables aleatorias en la teoría de la probabilidad, sin embargo, no se realiza un estudio a profundidad de este tipo de funciones ni se suele presentar una demostración rigurosa de que, en efecto, son variables aleatorias. En el presente trabajo, se da una demostración del resultado original de que este tipo de funciones son continuas en casi todas partes, de lo cual se deduce que son variables aleatorias. Además, se presentan demostraciones originales y directas de algunas propiedades conocidas de las -expansiones de los números entre 0 y 1; entre estas, se establece condiciones para que un número tenga -expansión única y también se prueba que si dos números tienen -expansión única y son suficientemente cercanos, entonces sus -expansiones coinciden hasta cierto índice. Finalmente, se presenta una caracterización original sobre los puntos de continuidad de funciones dadas por reordenaciones estrictamente crecientes.

Published: July 2021

Case:
An 81-year-old man from the northeastern United States presented with an acute Borrelia burgdorferi prosthetic joint infection (PJI) 15 years after undergoing a right total knee arthroplasty. He had no complications until his recent presentation. He was treated with irrigation and debridement with implant retention. Synovial fluid Lyme polymerase chain reaction and serological tests were positive. Postoperatively, he received oral doxycycline and at 6 weeks was asymptomatic. Four months later, he died of neuroborreliosis vasculitis, a complication of Lyme.

Conclusion:
We recommend considering Lyme disease as a cause of culture-negative PJIs in endemic regions. Early surgical treatment may mitigate adverse outcomes of Lyme.

Abstract
The genetic underpinnings of cognitive resilience in aging remains unknown. Predicting an individual’s rate of cognitive decline—or cognitive resilience—using genetics will allow personalized intervention for cognitive enhancement and optimal selection of target samples in clinical trials. Here, using genome-wide polygenic scores(GPS) of cognitive capacity as the genomic indicators for variations of human intelligence, we examined the genetic liability of cognitive abilities in the behavioral/cognitive phenome to understand individual phenotypic differences over time. We analyzed the 18-year records of the cross-sectional and longitudinal sociogenomic data of 8,511 European-ancestry adults from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS), especially focusing on the cognitive assessments that were repeatedly administered to the participants at their average ages of 64.5 and 71.5. Our linear mixed-effects model identified a significant interaction effect between age and cognitive capacity GPS, which indicates that a higher cognitive capacity GPS significantly correlates with a slower cognitive decline in the domain of immediate memory recall (p-value = 1.79E-03, β = 1.86E-01). Also, the phenome-wide analysis identified several significant associations of cognitive capacity GPSs on the cognitive and behavioral phenome, such as Similarities task (p-value = 3.59E-74, β = 1.36, 95% CI=(1.22, 1.51)), Number Series task(p-value = 2.55E-78, β = 0.94, 95% CI=(0.85, 1.04)), IQ scores(p-value = 7.74E-179, β = 1.42, 95% CI=(1.32, 1.51)), high school class rank (p-value = 3.07E-101, β = 1.86, 95% CI=(1.69, 2.02), Openness from the BIG 5 personality factor(p-value = 2.19E-14, β = 0.57, 95% CI=(0.42, 0.71)), and social participation of reading books (p-value = 2.03E-21, β = 0.50, 95% CI=(0.40, 0.60)), attending cultural events, such as concerts, plays or museums (p-value = 2.06E-23, β = 0.60, 95% CI=(0.49, 0.72)), and watching TV (p-value = 4.16E-18, β=-0.48, 95% CI=(-0.59, -0.37)). As the first phenome-wide analysis of cognitive and behavioral phenotypes, this study presents the novel genetic protective effects of cognitive ability on the decline of memory recall in an aging population.
Exposure to Urban Heavy Metal Contamination Diminishes Bumble Bee Colony Growth
Authors: Scott Sarah Barbara , Sivakoff Frances S , Gardiner Mary M 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
1. As a result of their industrial past, legacy cites often have elevated concentrations of soil heavy metal contamination. Metal pollution can have negative and prolonged ecosystem impacts, and bees that forage in these urban ecosystems are at risk of exposure. Legacy cities are known to support species rich bee communities, which highlights the importance of determining the impact of heavy metal contamination on wild bee health. 2. We examined how oral exposure to concentrations of four heavy metals found within the provisions of urban bees influenced colony growth of Bombus impatiens Cresson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), a common species within legacy cities across the eastern United States. Colony weight and brood survivorship were compared among hives fed uncontaminated sucrose solution (hereafter nectar), nectar spiked with one metal (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, or lead), and nectar containing all metals, after 15 or 30 d of exposure within flight tents. 3. Across both exposure periods, we found a significantly higher proportion of dead brood in metal exposed hives. Additionally, colonies fed all four metals had a significantly higher proportion of dead brood than those fed a single metal. 4. Synthesis and applications. Our findings illustrate that even low, environmentally relevant concentrations of metals collected by B. impatiens in legacy cities can negatively influence bee colony fitness. We highlight the need to identify metal exposure routes for bees in contaminated landscapes to minimize risk and bolster conservation habitat initiative success.
False-Positive Findings on Bone Scintigraphy After MRI-Guided Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for Osseous Oligometastasis.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Radical radiation therapy for oligorecurrent prostate cancer is considered to improve both overall and disease-specific survival. Therefore, accurate diagnosis by imaging is important when considering the indications for radiation therapy. We present a case of marginal recurrence of bone metastases from castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with radical radiation therapy, which could not be detected by bone single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) but could be diagnosed by 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (68Ga-PSMA PET/CT). Bone SPECT/CT showed false-positive tracer uptake in the lesion previously irradiated. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan showed no abnormal uptake in the previously irradiated lesion, but showed intense uptake in the newly developed metastasis near the irradiated site. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan may be able to diagnose marginal recurrence after radiation therapy more accurately than bone SPECT/CT.
SyncoPE: A Rare Presentation of Pulmonary Embolism - A Case Report
Authors: Hasnie Ammar , Kahn Mauricio , Heudebert Gustavo 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Introduction: The S1Q3T3 pattern is neither sensitive nor specific for pulmonary embolisms; however, it can help guide clinical management in a patient with a vague presentation including syncope. Case Presentation: An elderly male presented to the hospital after an unwitnessed syncopal event. His initial EKG on admission revealed an S1Q3T3 pattern which prompted concern for a possible pulmonary embolism as the cause of his syncopal event. Further imaging confirmed the diagnosis.Conclusion: Syncope offers a long list of possible causes, but pulmonary embolism is commonly missed on the differential diagnosis. Our patients’ acute EKG findings ultimately helped guide our management to correctly diagnose our patient with a newfound pulmonary embolism as the cause of his syncopal event.
The Effects of the Nonnative Brittle Star Ophiothela Mirabilis Verrill, 1867 on the Feeding Performance of an Octocoral Host in a Southwestern Atlantic Rocky Shore
Authors: Derviche Patrick , Lana Paulo da Cunha 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The Pacific epizoic brittle star Ophiothela mirabilis Verrill, 1867 has widely spread and colonized hosts at high densities along the Western Atlantic. We assessed the impacts of O. mirabilis on the feeding performance of the preferred host Leptogorgia punicea (Milne Edwards & Haime, 1857) through in situ experiments using incubation chambers and estimated its putative effects on the benthic-pelagic coupling processes of a rocky shore system. The feeding rates and heterotrophic carbon inputs of L. punicea treatments with high colonization by O. mirabilis (5.4 ± 0.6 individuals cm− 2 of host area) were compared to host controls naturally without brittle stars. No significant differences in host feeding performance were observed between the control and treatments. Overall, L. punicea ingested 2,688,569 ± 1,627,948 particles g DW (dry weight)−1 hour− 1 (mean ± standard deviation), corresponding to 156.8 ± 207.5 µg of carbon (C) g DW− 1 hour− 1. Therefore, although octocorals hosting O. mirabilis may have impaired polyp opening and extension, their feeding performance remains similar. In this sense, the impact of O. mirabilis on the carbon flux of the rocky shore system driven by octocoral ingestion is minimal. The grazing rate of 67.4 ± 89.2 mg C m− 2 day− 1 highlights the significant role of L. punicea in such benthic-pelagic coupling processes. Notwithstanding, further laboratory and field experimental studies assessing the effects on host taxa with distinct morphological and functional features are needed to better understand the responses of the recipient hard-bottom systems along the Western Atlantic to increasing densities of O. mirabilis.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background: Few studies have reported the visual outcomes of small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and laser-assisted epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) for myopia correction. This study aims to compare the visual quality and corneal wavefront aberrations after SMILE and LASEK for low-myopia correction.Methods: In this prospective study, we included 29 eyes of 29 patients who received SMILE, and 23 eyes of 23 patients who received LASEK between June 2018 and January 2019. The following measurements were assessed: uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected (CDVA) distance visual acuity, manifest refraction, corneal wavefront aberrations, and subjective visual quality. All patients were followed up for two years.Results: All procedures were uneventful. An efficacy index of 1.19 ± 0.17 was established in the SMILE group and 1.23 ± 0.20 in the LASEK group. No eyes lost more than two lines of CDVA. We found that 93% (27/29) of the treated eyes in the SMILE group and 91% (21/23) in the LASEK group had spherical equivalent (SE) within ± 0.25D. The increases in the total corneal spherical aberration and the corneal front spherical aberration were lower in the SMILE group than in the LASEK group (P < 0.01). In contrast, the increases in the total corneal vertical coma and the corneal front vertical coma in the SMILE group were greater than those in the LASEK group (P < 0.01).Conclusion: Both SMILE and LASEK have good safety, stability, and patient-reported satisfaction for low myopia. SMILE induced less corneal spherical aberration but greater vertical coma than LASEK.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background

Mammography screening is the most sensitive and specific test that can be conducted along with the clinical examination for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. However, like other tests, mammography screening is not a perfect test and has some limitations. The purpose of the present study is to measure women’s willingness to pay for breast cancer screening with mammography by providing them with basic and more complete information.
Method:

In this study, 450 women aged 35–55 years were assigned into two groups of equal numbers. The first group was provided only with the basic information on 225 women, while the other group was provided with more complete information. The double bounded dichotomous choice method was used to extract women’s willingness to pay for mammography screening.
Result

The mean willingness to pay for breast cancer screening with mammography was estimated as 26.14$ in the group receiving basic information and 21.41$ in the group receiving complete information.The results of interval regression analysis reported age of woman at the time interview, her occupation status, her education status, whether or not she had complementary insurance, and her prior experience of mammography as correlates of willingness to pay for mammography screening.
Conclusion

The more women have knowledge about all aspects of mammography screening, the more they are ready to utilize it. The results suggest the women can balance the possible benefits of mammography screening against its demerits.

Abstract
Background
The platelet-to-hemoglobin ratio (PHR) has emerged as a prognostic biomarker in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients after PCI but not clear in CAD complicated with congestive heart failure (CHF). Hence, we aimed to assess the association between PHR and long-term all-cause mortality among CAD patients with CHF.
Methods
Based on the registry at Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital in China, we analyzed data of 2,599 hospitalized patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) and were diagnosed with CAD complicated by CHF from January 2007 to December 2018. Low PHR was defined as˂1.69 (group 1) and high PHR as ≥ 1.69 (group 2). Prognosis analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier methods. To assess the association between PHR and long-term all-cause mortality, a Cox-regression model was fitted.
Results
During a median follow-up of 5.2 (3.1–7.8) years, a total of 985 (37.9%) patients died. On the Kaplan-Meier analysis, patients in high PHR group had a worse prognosis than low PHR group (log-rank, p = 0.0011). After adjustment for confounders, high PHR was correlated with an increased risk of long-term all-cause mortality in CAD patients complicated with CHF. (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03–1.41, p = 0.02).
Conclusion
Elevated PHR is correlated with an increased risk of long-term all-cause mortality in CAD patients with CHF. These results indicate that PHR may be a useful prognostic biomarker for this population. Meanwhile, it is necessary to take effective preventive measures to regulate both hemoglobin levels and platelet counts in this population.

Abstract
Background: Streptozotocin is a classic drug used to induce diabetic animal models. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the liver transcriptome of diabetic Kunming mice induced by streptozotocin (STZ) or Non-STZ. Methods: Forty male mice were randomly assigned into 4 groups, namely Control (Ctr, standard diet), mHH (high fat and high carbohydrate diet), mHS (high fat and high carbohydrate diet for 4 weeks followed by 60 mg/kg STZ for 3 consecutive days) and mSH (60 mg/kg STZ for 3 consecutive days and then fed with high fat and high carbohydrate diet for 12 weeks). All mice injected with STZ were identified as diabetes despite the sequential feeding of high fat and high carbohydrate diet. Results: Only 7 of 13 mice in mHH group met the diagnostic criteria for diabetes. The FBG of mHH, mHS, mSH and Ctrl groups were 13.27 ± 1.14, 15.01 ± 2.59, 15.95 ± 4.38 and 6.28 ± 0.33 mmol/L at 12th week, respectively. Compared with mHH group, the transcriptions of 85 genes were elevated in liver of mHS mice while 21 genes were down-regulated, and 97 genes were shown to be up-regulated in mSH group while 35 genes were decreased. Total 43 co-expressed genes were identified in mHSvsmHH and mSHvsmHH groups. GO (Gene Ontology) and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) analyses showed that there were 2 corporate GO terms and 2 KEGG pathways significantly annotated in STZ-treated groups. Both the GO term and pathway were related to the metabolism mediated by p53. Conclusion: High fat and high carbohydrate diet combined with low dose of STZ can effectively induce diabetic models in Kunming mice despite the abnormal expressions of genes in the liver. The differentially expressed genes were related to the metabolism mediated by p53.
