Waking rest during retention facilitates memory consolidation, but so does social media use
Authors: Quevedo Pütter Julian , Erdfelder Edgar 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
A short period of post-encoding waking rest has been shown to benefit subsequent memory performance. For example, past research suggests that waking rest after learning Icelandic-German word pairs boosts subsequent recall relative to an equally long period of social media use. Such findings are typically interpreted as evidence in favor of diversion retroactive interference. According to this account, non-specific cognitive processing inhibits consolidation and thus impairs storage of information encoded previously. However, the effect might alternatively be explained by similarity retroactive interference according to which retrieval is hampered by information processed during retention. Here, we report two experiments that shed light on the mechanisms underlying the waking rest effect. In both experiments, participants either wakefully rested, used social media, or engaged in additional Norwegian-German vocabulary learning after the original learning phase. We performed multinomial processing tree (MPT) analyses to disentangle latent storage and retrieval contributions to cued recall and recognition performance. We did not find any memory differences between the waking rest and social media conditions in either experiment. Moreover, storage, but not retrieval, was reliably impaired in the vocabulary condition. Thereby, the present research provides direct behavioral evidence for a dominant role of consolidation in the waking rest effect.

Abstract
Some medications are unsuitable for one-dose packaging due to issues such as moisture absorption. A survey of community pharmacists was conducted to understand the status of one-dose packaging and identify hygroscopic medications for stability testing. Stability was assessed using a moisture-suppression bag and clinical applications were investigated. Survey results were used to extract the medications that should be included in the one-dose package. Medications were stored with and without moisture-suppression bags, and quality was assessed using weight change and breaking force. Suvorexant, Telmisartan, Aspirin Dialuminate, Kampo extract formulations (Yokukansan and Daikenchu-tou), and Yokuinin extract tablets were selected for the stability test. Storage without moisture-suppression bags resulted in substantial changes in weight and breaking force for all tested medications; the use of moisture-suppression bags maintained the quality of some medications. Although there was a substantial difference in weight change from day 3, there was almost no change in appearance. Currently, the decision to include hygroscopic pharmaceuticals in a single package based on changes in appearance is insufficient. However, further research is necessary to justify the decision not to include hygroscopic pharmaceuticals in such packaging. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies should cultivate appropriate awareness and information literacy of pharmacists should be improved.

Abstract
Epidermoid lesions account for 1% of intracranial neoplasms. Surgical management is challenging due to their adhesion to critical neurovascular structures and tendency for recurrence. The current study examines surgical outcomes, extent of resection, and recurrence rates during long-term follow-up. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients treated for epidermoid lesions between 2000 and 2021, focusing on clinical and radiological outcome and long-term symptom development. Among 55 patients (56.4% male), the majority harbored lesions in the cerebellopontine angle (75.3%). The mean age at surgery was 41.3 years, with an average follow-up of 82 months. Total removal was achieved in 61% of cases, with 75% of them remaining recurrence-free. In comparison, 35% of near-total removal and 25% of subtotal removal remained recurrence-free. Immediate symptom improvement was similar after total and non-total removal (12.6% vs. 10.5%), but long-term improvement was higher after total removal (43% vs. 27%). Transient cranial nerve deficits occurred in 25% of total and in 32% of non-total removal cases, with similar rates of minor complications. Total removal provided better long-term symptom control and lower recurrence rates without significantly increasing neurological deficits, supporting it as the preferred surgical strategy while maintaining functional preservation.

Abstract
Tropical reef fishes exhibit a large disparity of organismal morphologies contributing to their astonishing biodiversity. Morphological disparity, scaling from differences among individuals within populations to differences among species, is governed by ecological and evolutionary processes. Here, we examined the relationship between intra- and interspecific disparity in 1111 individuals from 17 tropical reef fish species, representing 10 families with different dispersal abilities, across four Indian Ocean regions. We compared intraspecific measurements with species-level measures from a database of 1061 reef fish species. Species with high morphological disparity among individuals from distinct regions are found to be nested in families that display a high disparity among their genera. We show an association between the morphological disparity at the intra- and interspecific levels for several morphological ratios such as the caudal peduncle elongation. We evaluated the link between morphological disparity and genetic diversity with species dispersal ability. A structural equation model indicates that dispersal ability correlates positively with species genetic diversity, which is associated with morphological disparity. Our results suggest that traits associated with dispersal may foster gene flow and morphological evolution. Future works combining genomic, morphological and environmental data across more species is necessary to generalize these findings to other regions.
Audiologic Recovery in a Case of Neurosyphilis: A Case Report
Authors: Roman Aaron M. 
Published: February 2025

Purpose:
Syphilis is often called the “great imitator” as it can mask itself as a variety of other medical issues. Neurosyphilis is a subtype of syphilis that may occur at any stage of syphilis presentation. However, there is a substantial lack of literature on the presentation of hearing loss in this disease. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the presentation and outcomes related to a case of neurosyphilis.

Method:
This case report describes sudden aural fullness, tinnitus, and perceived hearing loss in a 30-year-old patient who was diagnosed with late-stage neurosyphilis. An initial audiometric evaluation identified a bilateral mild to moderately severe hearing loss that was found to be secondary to neurosyphilis. Following treatment of 2.4 million units of benzathine penicillin administered in three weekly shots, his hearing improved to normal levels.

Results:
This case details the audiometric assessment and subsequent follow-up of this patient's care. Behavioral hearing thresholds and distortion product otoacoustic emissions recovered substantially following treatment.

Conclusions:
Hearing assessment may be a beneficial tool when considering patients with neurosyphilis. Additionally, continuous audiologic monitoring in this population would prove beneficial when considering treatment.

Published: February 2025

Purpose:
The lack of appropriate assessments affects populations presumed to be most at risk for speech and language concerns, one of them being children with a history of preterm birth. This study aims to examine whether cultural bias is present in two currently available language tests for Black children under 3 years of age: the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (CSBS) and the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI).

Method:

This study uses data from the Early Development of NICU Graduates' Study, a National Institutes of Health–funded, ongoing prospective, multicenter cohort investigation of very preterm (VPT) infants. A total of 54 (18 Black, 36 White) children born VPT were included in this study. The outcome measures were the Black and White children's CSBS cluster scores and their CDI: Words and Gestures (WG) scores.
T
tests and a mixed-model approach were used to compare the scores of the CSBS and CDI:WG based on matched pairs. Spearman rank correlation was used to examine the relationship between the CSBS and CDI:WG scores.

Results:
There was no significant difference between CSBS scores of Black and White children. There were no significant differences between the Black and White children's total scores on the CDI:WG based on the parent responses. There was a weak correlation between the CSBS and the CDI:WG subtest scores for the total group and a moderate correlation for Black children.

Conclusions:
The comparison of scores on the CSBS and the CDI:WG showed no significant difference between the Black and White children, indicating that there may not be evidence to support cultural bias for the premature children in this study. The correlation between the gestural subtest of the CSBS and the CDI:WG showed that direct observation by clinicians was similar to the observations of the parents.
Hydroxyurea-resistente, primäre Erythrozytose bei einer juvenilen
Mischlingshündin
Authors: Graf Jessica , Buder Astrid 
Published: February 2025

ZusammenfassungDie primäre Erythrozytose, auch Polyzythämia vera gennant, ist eine
myeloproliferative Erkrankung, bei der es zu einer starken Vermehrung der
Erythrozyten und damit zu einem starken Hämatokritanstieg sowie einer Erhöhung
der Gesamterythrozytenzahl kommt. Hierdurch steigt das Thromboserisiko und die
Patienten zeigen eine erhöhte Blutungsneigung. Häufige Symptome sind Schwäche
und ZNS-Störungen. Klinisch auffällig sind vor allem dunkelrote Schleimhäute.
Bei der Diagnosestellung einer primären Erythrozytose handelt es sich um ein
Ausschlussverfahren, die die Bestimmung des Erythropoetin-Spiegels und die
Aufarbeitung von Ursachen von sekundären Erythrozytosen umfasst (z. B.
hypoxische Erkrankungen, Tumoren, Nierenerkrankungen). Die Therapie erfolgt
durch anfängliche Aderlässe, gegebenenfalls kombiniert mit einer Chemotherapie
mit Hydroxyurea. Patienten können mit dieser Therapie mitunter Jahre überleben.
Im hier dargestellten Fall einer 6 Monate alten
Berner-Sennen-Labrador-Mischlingshündin, welche mit Schwäche und dunkelroten
Schleimhäuten vorgestellt wurde, konnte eine primäre Erythrozytose
diagnostiziert werden. Die Hündin zeigte jedoch kein Ansprechen auf die
Chemotherapie. Zusätzlich traten Fieber, Diarrhö und Anorexie unter der Therapie
auf. Die Symptome waren nach Absetzen des Hydroxyureas vollständig reversibel.
Die Aderlässe mussten sehr frequent (im Abstand von 2 bis 3 Wochen) vorgenommen
werden, da der Hämatokritanstieg im Therapieverlauf unverändert rapide war. Der
Fall zeigt, dass bei Hunden auch bei ausschließlicher Therapie mit Aderlässen
eine vollständige Kontrolle der klinischen Symptome sowie eine Überlebenszeit
von über 30 Monaten erreicht werden kann.

Abstract
Background Type A aortic dissection as a highly lethal disease continues being a great challenge for cardiac surgeons worldwide. There are still unanswered questions regarding intraoperative decisions and their impact on the surgical outcomes. The aim of this study is to compare postoperative outcomes according to site of cannulation in patients with acute Type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).
Methods This was a retrospective cohort study. We included all ATAAD procedures from January 2002 to November 2023. We defined groups according to site of cannulation (aorta, axillary, femoral, innominate). Data from pre-, intra-, and postoperative variables were collected. Our main outcomes were spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke rate, and in-hospital mortality. Between-group comparisons were performed using standard statistical tests and post hoc tests adjusting for multiple comparisons were performed.
Results We identified 127 ATAAD procedures. Reoperation for bleeding was significantly higher in the femoral cannulation group (75%, p = 0.0006). There were no statistically significant differences in acute kidney injury rate (p = 0.012), SCI rate (p = 0.78), or in-hospital mortality (p = 0.75). Our data suggest that there is a lower stroke rate in the axillary cannulation group (3.6%, p = 0.4), which did not reach statistical significance.
Conclusion Choosing an adequate cannulation site is a critical step in TAAD surgery. In our series, axillary and innominate cannulation were the preferred methods with relatively low complication rates.
A Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Cloud-edge Collaboration Federated Transfer Learning

Published: February 2025

Abstract
To address the high cost of cloud communication in federated learning and the low diagnosis accuracy caused by the limited number of labeled rolling bearing samples with certain specifications, a new method is proposed. It utilizes cloud-edge collaboration federated transfer learning (CECFTL) for fault diagnosis in rolling bearings across different domains. A bearing fault diagnosis framework for multi-users is constructed by combining cloud-edge collaboration and federated learning. This is aimed at reducing the communication pressure of the cloud. First, the residual network is employed to capture the features of the vibration signal and construct a multi-user local model. Then, the shared model of the source domain built by cloud-edge collaboration is transmitted to the target domain users. An adaptive fine-tuning model transfer method is proposed, utilizing a personalized fine-tuning strategy to dynamically select the number of fine-tuning layers. Finally, the cross-domain fault diagnosis of rolling bearings under varying specifications is achieved while ensuring the privacy of multi-user island data. Through experimental validation, the proposed CECFTL saves an average of 69.1% of the time compared to the traditional federated learning. It effectively enhances fault diagnosis efficiency while reducing communication overhead and computational pressure in the cloud. Additionally, the accuracy of cross-domain fault diagnosis is improved by an average of 8.2%, demonstrating strong generalizability.
Correntropy weighted robust Kalman filter for integrated navigation system with time varying noise covariance
Authors: Zhang Feige , Gao Guangle , Xu Peng , Zhang Xiaotong 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
To handle the influence of historical data on state estimation, this study proposes a correntropy-weighted robust Kalman filter (CWRKF). The proposed method investigates the weight using the correntropy based on the current residual, thus suppressing the impact of historical data on system state estimation. In addition, an adaptive kernel bandwidth is defined for correntropy to avoid excessive use of the current residual and accuracy degradation. Further, the correntropy-weighted system noise covariance estimation is obtained and embedded into the Kalman filter. The proposed CWRKF is verified by simulations, and the results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed CWRKF in state estimation under time-varying system noise covariance conditions over the existing approaches.&#xD;

Abstract
This study investigates the synthesis, structural characterization, and dielectrophoretic alignment of potassium strontium niobate—KSN (KSr2Nb5O15) particles to develop textured 0–3 piezocomposites with enhanced dielectric and piezoelectric properties for tactile sensor applications. KSN particles were synthesized using a molten salt process. Anisometric needle-like morphology of the particles were confirmed by electron microscopy and their single crystalline nature by electron diffraction techniques. Dielectrophoretic alignment under an alternating current (AC) electric field facilitated particle orientation along the [001] c-axis of the tetragonal structure, as confirmed by x-ray diffraction and quantified using the Lotgering factor (f
(00l)). An f
(00l) = 0.83 was achieved for piezocomposite containing 5 vol% KSN particles and cured under an AC field of 2 kV mm−1 at 200 Hz. Electrical characterization revealed a strong correlation between particle alignment and properties. Compared to random piezocomposites prepared without AC field, increase in dielectric constant of up to two-folds, in polarization of up to ten folds, and in piezoelectric charge coefficient of up to 3 folds were observed in textured piezocomposites. A tactile sensor prototype developed using these textured piezocomposites exhibited voltage output proportional to particle orientation, demonstrating the importance of particle alignment in enhancing the functional properties of piezocomposites.
The study of adhesion layer in linear ultrasonic motors and its effect on output performance

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Frictional wear at the stator/mover contact interface can lead to changes in friction characteristics and instability in motor operation, limiting their application. This study focuses on the frictional properties of the stator/mover contact, exploring the mechanism of adhesive layer formation and its impact on motor operating characteristics. Firstly, the operating mechanism of the motor and the formation mechanism of the adhesive layer are analyzed. Subsequently, based on mixed lubrication tribology theory, a friction coefficient estimation model is established, and the influence of adhesive layer thickness on the friction coefficient is investigated. Simultaneously, a dynamic model of the linear ultrasonic motor is constructed to analyze the impact of the friction coefficient on motor operating characteristics. Finally, methods for measuring the thickness of the adhesive layer are proposed, and experimental studies on the variation of adhesive layer thickness over time and its impact on the friction coefficient and motor operating characteristics are conducted. Experimental results show that the thickness of the adhesive layer increases over time, while the friction coefficient, operating speed, and thrust initially decrease and then increase.
