Crossmodal semantic congruence and rarity improve episodic memory
Authors: Packard Pau Alexander , Soto-Faraco Salvador 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Semantic congruence across sensory modalities at encoding of information has been shown to improve memory performance over a short time span. However, the beneficial effect of crossmodal congruence is less well established when it comes to episodic memories over longer retention periods. This gap in knowledge is particularly wide for cross-modal semantic congruence under incidental encoding conditions, a process that is especially relevant in everyday life. Here, we present the results of a series of four experiments (total N = 232) using the dual-process signal detection model to examine crossmodal semantic effects on recollection and familiarity. In Experiment 1, we established the beneficial effects of crossmodal semantics in younger adults: hearing congruent compared with incongruent object sounds during the incidental encoding of object images increased recollection and familiarity after 48 h. In Experiment 2 we reproduced and extended the finding to a sample of older participants (50–65 years old): older people displayed a commensurable crossmodal congruence effect, despite a selective decline in recollection compared with younger adults. In Experiment 3, we showed that crossmodal facilitation is resilient to large imbalances between the frequency of congruent versus incongruent events (from 10 to 90%): Albeit rare events are more memorable than frequent ones overall, the impact of this rarity effect on the crossmodal benefit was small, and only affected familiarity. Collectively, these findings reveal a robust crossmodal semantic congruence effect for incidentally encoded visual stimuli over a long retention span, bearing the hallmarks of episodic memory enhancement.
Secondary Prevention of Osteoporotic Fracture with IV Zoledronate
Authors: Ng James , Ong Tze Ying 
Published: February 2025

Osteoporotic fractures are a significant global public health concern, particularly in aging populations. They contribute to substantial morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs, with over 300,000 fragility fractures annually in the UK, costing approximately £4.4 billion. Hip fractures are the most severe, with a one-year mortality rate of 20–30%. Effective secondary prevention strategies are essential to reduce the burden on healthcare systems.
Zoledronate, a third-generation bisphosphonate, effectively reduces recurrent fracture risk, improves bone mineral density, and lowers mortality, with the advantage of annual dosing for better adherence.
This quality improvement initiative was aimed to enhance secondary prevention through a local protocol promoting intravenous (IV) zoledronate post-hip fracture, in line with the National Osteoporosis Guideline Group (NOGG). Retrospective analysis of 64 patients (mean age 73 years) revealed a significant increase in IV zoledronate prescriptions from 14% to 61% after protocol implementation.
This study demonstrates that local protocols, supported by multidisciplinary team (MDT) education and tools such as Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) and the National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD), have improved osteoporosis management across NHS hospitals. However, challenges persist, including limited FLS coverage, suboptimal treatment adherence, and resource constraints. Addressing these barriers is critical to optimising care for elderly patients at risk of recurrent fractures.
Light Streak Photometry and Streaktools
Authors: Goodeve Joshua L. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The accuracy of photometric calibration has gradually become a limiting factor in various fields of astronomy, limiting the scientific output of a host of research. Calibration using artificial light sources in low Earth orbit remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that photometric calibration using light sources in low Earth orbit is a viable and competitive alternative/complement to current calibration techniques, and explore the associated ideas and basic theory. We present the publicly available Python code Streaktools as a means to simulate and perform photometric calibration using real and simulated light streaks. Using Streaktools, we perform “pill” aperture photometry on 131 simulated streaks, and Markov chain Monte Carlo based point-spread-function (PSF) model-fitting photometry on 425 simulated streaks in an attempt to recover the magnitude zeropoint of a real exposure of the Dark Energy Camera instrument on the Blanco 4 m telescope. Our results show that calibration using pill photometry is too inaccurate to be useful, but that PSF photometry is able to produce unbiased and accurate (1σ error = 3.4 mmag) estimates of the zeropoint of a real image in a realistic scenario, with a reasonable light source. This demonstrates that light-streak photometry is a promising alternative and complement to established techniques, which should be explored and tested further.
Alfvén Wave Conversion to Low Frequency Fast Magnetosonic Waves in Magnetar Magnetospheres
Authors: Bernardi Dominic , Yuan Yajie , Chen Alexander Y. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Rapid shear motion of magnetar crust can launch Alfvén waves into the magnetosphere. The dissipation of the Alfvén waves has been theorized to power the X-ray bursts characteristic of magnetars. However, the process by which Alfvén waves convert their energy to X-rays is unclear. Recent work has suggested that energetic fast magnetosonic (fast) waves can be produced as a byproduct of Alfvén waves propagating on curved magnetic field lines; their subsequent dissipation may power X-ray bursts. In this work, we investigate the production of fast waves by performing axisymmetric force-free simulations of Alfvén waves propagating in a dipolar magnetosphere. For Alfvén wave trains that do not completely fill the flux tube confining them, we find a fast wave dominated by a low frequency component with a wavelength defined by the bouncing time of the Alfvén waves. In contrast, when the wave train is long enough to completely fill the flux tube, and the Alfvén waves overlap significantly, the energy is quickly converted into a fast wave with a higher frequency that corresponds to twice the Alfvén wave frequency. We investigate how the energy, duration, and wavelength of the initial Alfvén wave train affect the conversion efficiency to fast waves. For modestly energetic star quakes, we see that the fast waves that are produced will become nonlinear well within the magnetosphere, and we comment on the X-ray emission that one may expect from such events.

Abstract
We present a study of the effects of ultraviolet (UV) emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) on the atmospheric composition of planets and potential impact on life. It is expected that all supermassive black holes, which reside at galactic centers, have gone through periods of high AGN activity in order to reach their current masses. We examine potential damaging effects on lifeforms on planets with different atmosphere types and receiving different levels of AGN flux, using data on the sensitivity of various species’ cells to UV radiation to determine when radiation becomes “dangerous.” We also consider potential chemical changes to planetary atmospheres as a result of UV radiation from AGN, using the Platform for Atmosphere, Land, Earth, and Ocean photochemical model. We find that the presence of sufficient initial oxygen (surface mixing ratio ≥10−3 mol mol−1) in the planet’s atmosphere allows a thicker ozone layer to form in response to AGN radiation, which reduces the level of dangerous UV radiation incident on the planetary surface from what it was in absence of an AGN. We estimate the fraction of solar systems in galaxies that would be affected by substantial AGN UV radiation, and find that the impact is most pronounced in compact galaxies such as “red nugget relics,” as compared to typical present-day ellipticals and spirals (using M87 and the Milky Way as examples).

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The present study aimed to ascertain the prevalence of refractive errors in school going adolescents in the Dewas district of Madhya Pradesh, India. This secondary data analysis utilized data from school based vision screenings conducted in 2021–2022 in 33 schools in rural and urban regions of Dewas district under the National Program for Control of Blindness and Visual Impairment (NPCBVI). Refractive error was considered as unaided distant visual acuity of 6/9 or less which improved with a pinhole. Screening data of adolescents aged 10–19 years were analyzed using the STATA software, version 15.1. Among the 8071 adolescents studied, 601 (7.44%, 95% CI: 6.88%–8.04%) had refractive errors. Myopia was the most prevalent refractive error seen in adolescents (5.87%, 95% CI: 5.36%–6.40%). The prevalence of refractive errors was higher in females (8.76%) than in male adolescents (5.27%). No significant difference in the prevalence of refractive error was noted between rural and urban regions. In conclusion, a significant burden of refractive errors was observed among school going adolescents in a district of a central Indian state, with 7.44% affected, predominantly by myopia (5.87%), indicative of the need to strengthen cost effective vision screening programs. Future research should focus on identifying barriers and exploring strategies to enhance program delivery, ensure enhanced coverage, monitor adherence to wearing of spectacles, and evaluate outcomes for adolescent eye health.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
Atrioventricular heart block (AVHB) following pediatric cardiac surgery has a remarkable concern in postoperative days, sometimes manifesting a transient event resolving in 14 days. The prevalence of this issue has been evidenced to range from 1% to 4% across multiple studies. This study was conducted to find the incidence and outcome of transient and permanent AVHB after heart surgery in children.

Subjects and Methods:
A collection of data was made on patients ranging in age from 0 to 15 years old who had heart block. Twelve-lead electrocardiograms were performed every other day following cardiac surgical intensive care unit policy postoperatively. Patient data were originally analyzed by comparing two cohorts: those with permanent AV block and those with transitory AV block.

Results:
Out of the total of 4920 open heart surgeries, a subset of 146 individuals experienced third-degree AV block for a duration of at least 12 h, representing a prevalence of 2.9%. Within this group, 116 patients exhibited transient AV block, accounting for 2.3% of the total surgeries, while the remaining 30 patients suffered from a permanent form of third-degree AV block, constituting 0.6% of the surgeries. The average duration for the recovery of AV conduction was found to be 6.65 ± 2.8 days. While, weight at time of operation, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and re-intervention at same admission are related with high risk of AVHB.

Conclusions:
AVHB is a notable complication of pediatric heart surgery. It is associated with low weight, longer bypass times, and redo surgery in the same admission.

Authors: Loh Andre Jin Wei , Ting Ee Lynn , Kwan Yu Heng , Woon Ting Hui , Phang Jie Kie , Ng Chin Teck , Fong Warren 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Studies have shown that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have lower levels of physical activity (PA) than healthy controls, despite the benefits of PA in reducing pain and stiffness. We aimed to compare the levels of PA in patients with RA with that of the general population and identify factors associated with meeting the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for PA.

Methods:
Consecutive patients with RA were recruited from an outpatient rheumatology clinic in a tertiary hospital in Singapore. Data for the general population were obtained from the Singapore Health 2012 study. To obtain comparable controls from the general population, we performed propensity score matching based on age and gender.

Results:
Sixty patients with RA were recruited. The proportions of patients with RA and controls who met WHO recommendations for PA were similar (78.3% vs. 80.0%, P = 0.82). After propensity matching, patients with RA spent significantly less time on work-related PA compared to controls (54.3 ± 147.4 min vs. 73.0 ± 132.6 min, P < 0.01). Disease activity was insignificant in determining whether WHO recommendations for PA were met in patients with RA. In the multivariable logistic regression, being employed (odds ratio 4.72, 95% confidence interval 1.20–18.59) was associated with meeting WHO recommendations.

Conclusions:
In this study, the proportion of patients with RA who met the recommendations for PA was similar to that of controls after propensity score matching. Among patients with RA, being employed was associated with meeting WHO recommendations for PA.

With the development of photography, it has become possible to capture sequences of images that reveal details of human movement that are not visible to the naked eye. In archery, it is important that the archer is able to withstand the bow's draw force isometrically when released. The number of movement errors from the draw results in a reduction in arrow speed and this causes the arrow to move too slowly towards the target. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a difference in the recurve rounde single in the top and sagittal views in the drawing, aiming and release stages. Descriptive research methods with the basic causal-comparative designs were used in this study. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the recurve rounde single in the top and sagittal views in the drawing, aiming and release stages.
