Authors: Reyes-Vélez Julián , Sweet Jill , MacLean MaryBeth , Poirier Alain , VanTil Linda D. 
Published: August 2021

LAY SUMMARY The objective of this research was to explore the association between demographic and service characteristics and mental health in Canadian Veterans of the Reserve Force. The Reserve Force Class C model showed that marital status, age, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and type of release were associated with mental health. The Reserve Force Class A/B model showed that age, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and type of release were associated with mental health. These results showed that similar factors were associated with the mental health score, with different degrees of association by reserve class. These results will help to better describe Reserve Force Veterans that may require mental health assistance.
Work-family conflict and subsequent depressive symptoms among war-exposed post-9/11 U.S. military Veterans

Published: August 2021

LAY SUMMARY Veterans may struggle with the conflicts that arise from juggling competing work and family demands after they leave military service. Over time, these feelings of conflict can have a negative impact on their mental health. The current study sought to explore the impact of conflict between work and family roles on war-zone-deployed U.S. Veterans’ depressive symptoms 1.5 years later. Men and women were examined separately. Results showed that when family responsibilities interfered with work responsibilities both men and women had higher levels of depressive symptoms 1.5 years later. However, when work responsibilities interfered with family responsibilities, only men reported higher levels of depressive symptoms 1.5 years later. The current findings support the importance of programs that can help both female and male Veterans readjust to changing life roles when they leave military service. Both types of conflict are modifiable, and these findings suggest the importance of workplace and Veterans Affairs programs that can help military Veterans manage changing responsibilities and demands upon reintegration.
Women Veterans: Examining identity through an intersectional lens
Authors: Dallocchio Michelle 
Published: August 2021

LAY SUMMARYAs the United States’ ethnic and racial demographics continue to reflect a nation of diversity, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) must also be mindful of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Currently, the DoD appears to be highlighting not only the ethical but also the strategic importance of diversity initiatives, but it must also strive to put theory into action to adequately lead and for Veterans to get proper medical and mental health care. Women, ethnic minorities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning individuals continue to enlist and face struggles to obtain adequate health care. Thus, this article discusses the need for intersectionality theory and critical race theory to be incorporated into ongoing discussions related to U.S. military and Veteran care. Although diverse backgrounds and experiences offer DoD the added benefit of diverse skill sets and innovation, it must also examine its own fighting force with a diverse lens, and in turn, the Department of Veterans Affairs should follow suit.
Rigid versus flexible neuroendoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of endoscopic third ventriculostomy for the management of pediatric hydrocephalus
Authors: Li Daphne , Ravindra Vijay M. , Lam Sandi K. 
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVE
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), with or without choroid plexus cauterization (±CPC), is a technique used for the treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus. Rigid or flexible neuroendoscopy can be used, but few studies directly compare the two techniques. Here, the authors sought to compare these methods in treating pediatric hydrocephalus.

METHODS
A systematic MEDLINE search was conducted using combinations of keywords: “flexible,” “rigid,” “endoscope/endoscopic,” “ETV,” and “hydrocephalus.” Inclusion criteria were as follows: English-language studies with patients 2 years of age and younger who had undergone ETV±CPC using rigid or flexible endoscopy for hydrocephalus. The primary outcome was ETV success (i.e., without the need for further CSF diversion procedures). Secondary outcomes included ETV-related and other complications. Statistical significance was determined via independent t-tests and Mood’s median tests.

RESULTS
Forty-eight articles met the study inclusion criteria: 37 involving rigid endoscopy, 10 involving flexible endoscopy, and 1 propensity scored–matched comparison. A cumulative 560 patients had undergone 578 rigid ETV±CPC, and 661 patients had undergone 672 flexible ETV±CPC. The flexible endoscopy cohort had a significantly lower average age at the time of the procedure (0.33 vs 0.53 years, p = 0.001) and a lower preoperatively predicted ETV success score (median 40, IQR 32.5–57.5 vs 62.5, IQR 50–70; p = 0.033). Average ETV success rates in the rigid versus flexible groups were 54.98% and 59.65% (p = 0.63), respectively. ETV-related complication rates did not differ significantly at 0.63% for flexible endoscopy and 3.46% for rigid endoscopy (p = 0.30). There was no significant difference in ETV success or complication rate in comparing ETV, ETV+CPC, and ETV with other concurrent procedures.

CONCLUSIONS
Despite the lower expected ETV success scores for patients treated with flexible endoscopy, the authors found similar ETV success and complication rates for ETV±CPC with flexible versus rigid endoscopy, as reported in the literature. Further direct comparison between the techniques is necessary.

This article explains the typology of instructional video styles in Universitas Terbuka TV (UT TV) as a learning medium in open and distance higher education. Instructional video styles are an essential aspect of learning media because they relate to student involvement in the learning process. This research used a descriptive content analysis method to obtain and determine the style of communication in each video studied. The result indicates that the instructional video style on UT TV tends to be consistent across subjects and disciplines. The style used by most instructional videos on UT TV is slide style, both as the main style and as a secondary style. The slide style is identical to the presentation format in conventional lectures, where slides are positioned as teaching aids so learning material can easily be understood.

The health threat from Sudan red dyes has been the subject of much attention in recent years and is crucial to design and establish reliable measurement technologies. In the present study, a new magnetic nanomaterial, polyamidoamine dendrimer-modified magnetic nanoparticles (Gn-MNPs), was synthesized and characterized. The nanomaterials had good adsorption capacity for Sudan dyes from natural waters. G1.5-MNPs possessed excellent adsorption capacity and a linear adsorption relationship over the range from 0.02 to 300 μg L−1 of Sudan dyes with relative coefficients all larger than 0.996. The sensitivity of the proposed method was excellent with detection limits over the range from 1.8 to 5.5 ng L−1 and the precision was less than 3.0%. G1.5-MNPs showed a remarkable application potential for the enrichment of trace environment pollutants in aqueous samples and the developed method based on this nanomaterial could be a robust and reliable alternative tool for routine monitoring of such pollutants.
West Pacific Earthquake Forecasting Using NOAA Electron Bursts With Independent L-Shells and Ground-Based Magnetic Correlations
Authors: Fidani Cristiano 
Published: August 2021

Recent advances in statistical correlations between strong earthquakes and several non-seismic phenomena have opened the possibility of formulating warnings within days or even hours. The retrieved correlations have been discovered for those ionospheric physical observations which lasted a long time and realized using the same instruments, including multi-satellite recordings. One of those regarded the electron burst phenomena detected by NOAA, for which the conditional probability of a seismic event was calculated. Then an earthquake probability greater than its frequency was assigned when a satellite realized such a phenomenological observation. This approach refers to the correlations obtained between high-energy electrons detected using the NOAA POES and strong Indonesian and Philippine earthquakes. It is reformulated here to realize a test of earthquake forecasting. The fundamental step is obtained by using a unique electron L-shell interval of 1.21 ≤ L ≤ 1.31, which decouples the electron parameters from the earthquake parameters. Then, the optimized correlation was recalculated to be 1.5–3.5 h early, between electron bursts and an increased number of seismic events with M ≥ 6, therein improving the significance too. Moreover, this methodology is reconnected to the frequency theory, and to Molchan’s error diagram, by the probability gain, where a comparison among the significances of various methods is given. The previously proposed physical link between the crust and the ionosphere through magnetic interaction, presumably operating 4–6 h before strong earthquakes, is examined quantitatively on the basis of recent magnetic pulse measurements. Consequently, the probability gain of earthquake forecasting is hypothetically calculated for both the dependent measurements of electron bursts using NOAA satellites and possible ground-based magnetic pulse detection. This method of combining probability gains for earthquake forecasting is general enough that it can be applied to any pair of observables from space and the ground.

Published: August 2021

BackgroundTranslocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 17A (TIMM17A) is overexpressed in breast cancer (BRCA), and upregulation can increase the aggressiveness of BRCA cells. This study examined the influence of the TIMM17A gene network on BRCA outcome.MethodsExpression levels of TIMM17A were compared between normal and tumor tissues from the OncomineTM database, and the association with patient survival was analyzed using Kaplan–Meier Plotter. Clinical factors influencing TIMM17A expression were studied by UALCAN. cBioPotal was then used to identify genes interacting with TIMM17A, and network relationships were assessed using the R clusterProfiler package. The association between TIMM17A mutation and mRNA expression in BRCA was examined using the LinkFinder application in LinkedOmics, and coexpressed genes were assessed for functional enrichment using the LinkInterpreter application. Furthermore, TIMM17A expression correlation with cell cycle phase distribution was performed by flow cytometry. Finally, the target networks of kinases, microRNAs (miRNAs), and transcription factors were identified using GeneMANIA. The expression and correlation of potential miRNAs and targets were further validated in BRCA cell lines by qRT-PCR.ResultsExpression of TIMM17A was significantly elevated in BRCA compared with normal tissue (p &lt; 0.05), and overexpression was associated with both poor overall survival (OS) and shorter distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) (p &lt; 0.05). Expression of TIMM17A was not associated with age, sex, BRCA subclass, clinical stage, or patient ethnicity. The coexpressed TIMM17A network was enriched in genes targeted by cell cycle regulators such as CDK1, miR-331, and E2F family transcription factors (FDR &lt; 0.001). Furthermore, flow cytometry revealed a strong association between higher TIMM17A expression and faster cell cycle progression in these BRCA cell lines. In addition, expression of TIMM17A protein was correlated with CDK1 protein expression in BRCA cell lines as measured by western blotting.ConclusionElevated TIMM17A expression accelerates the progression of BRCA, thereby reducing OS and DMFS. The TIMM17A-associated networks identified here provide clues to the molecular pathogenesis of BRCA and potential targets for BRCA treatment.

Emerging evidences have highlighted the crucial role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the liver cirrhosis, but the relationship between miR-130a-3p and liver cirrhosis is not entirely clear. As we all know, schistosomiasis, as one of the zoonoses, can lead to liver cirrhosis when it advances. In this study, we investigated the biological functions of miR-130a-3p on the liver fibrosis of schistosomiasisin vivoandin vitro. The mice infected withSchistosoma japonicum(S. japonicum)were treated with lentivirus vector (LV)-miR-130a-3p by hydrodynamic injection through the tail vein. Our findings showed significantly decreased expression of miR-130a-3p both in the serum of patients with cirrhosis and in the liver of mice infected withS. japonicum. The results showed that LV-miR-130a-3p could effectively enter into the liver and alleviate liver granulomatous inflammation and collagen deposition. Simultaneously, LV-miR-130a-3p-promoted macrophages presented the Ly6Clophenotype, concomitant with the decreased expression of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) 1, and increased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2, which contributed to the dissolution of collagen. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-130a-3p not only inhibited the activation and proliferation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) but also induced the apoptosis of HSCs. In addition, we also confirmed that miR-130a-3p enables to bind with mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) 1 and transforming growth factor-beta receptors (TGFBR) 1 and TGFBR2 genes and inhibit the expressions of these genes. Our findings suggested that miR-130a-3p might represent as the potential candidate biomarker and therapeutic target for the prognosis identification and treatment of schistosomiasis liver fibrosis.

Authors: Kraft Anna Kristina , Berger Klaus 
Published: August 2021

Background: The care of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) calls for a lifelong guidance and treatment and results in a high resource utilization. Therefore, strategies for the assessment and improvement of the care process are crucial. Quality indicators have become a widely used instrument to determine quality in many areas of the healthcare system. The currently available sets of indicators for the quality of MS care are summarized in this review.Methods: A literature search was conducted for reports that include statements on quality indicators for the care of people with MS. For the determination of the strength of the underlying evidence of the identified publications appropriate criteria of the PRISMA and AGREE-Statements were used. A further prioritization of the eligible indicators was based on the internal grading by the initial authors.Results: Of the 465 included records in the search, 6 sources were finally identified, 3 demonstrating a high and the others a medium strength of evidence. In total, these six reports described 226 quality indicators for the treatment of MS. Of them, 147 were further included in the assessment due to the scope of this article. Among the 101 indicators that originated from reports with a high strength of evidence, 6 also had a high initial internal grading. These six identified quality indicators describe five important characteristics of a high-quality care of MS.Conclusion: The search led to a scientifically evident set of six quality indicators for the assessment of care for patients with MS. These should be seen as starting points in the development of comprehensive sets of quality indicators in MS that addresses the individual objective of their use.

Purpose: Maternal diabetes mellitus and the resulting adverse fetal outcomes including stillbirth in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are high. Thus, setting specific evidence is pivotal to plan, evaluate, and improve national preventive measures and to achieve international sustainable development goals. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis was the first of its kind to estimate the pooled prevalence of stillbirth and its determinants among diabetic mothers in Ethiopia.Methods: Primary studies were exhaustively searched using PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar databases, and gray literature found in Addis Ababa and Haramaya University online repositories was accessed. Eligible studies were selected and critically appraised for quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) quality appraisal checklist. The overall prevalence of stillbirth among diabetic mothers was estimated using a weighted inverse random-effect model. I2 statistic was used for evidence of heterogeneity. Egger's test and funnel plot were used to check the presence of publication bias.Results: The pooled prevalence of stillbirth among diabetic mothers was 2.39 [95% confidence interval (CI): −0.20, 4.97]. Being a housewife [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.25; 95% CI: 1.26, 3.23], maternal age of &lt;30 years [AOR = 2.08 (95% CI: 1.02, 3.13)], and gestational age of &lt;37 completed weeks [AOR = 9.76 (95% CI: 7.83, 11.70)] increased the risk of stillbirth among diabetic mothers.Conclusions: The national pooled prevalence of stillbirth among diabetic mothers was 2.39%. Maternal age of &lt;30 years, gestational age of &lt;37 completed weeks, and being a housewife were significantly associated with stillbirth.Trial registration: PROSPERO 2020: CRD4202016774.
