Published: December 2024

AbstractBackgroundIron deficiency anaemia (IDA) related to occult gastrointestinal tract (GIT) blood loss is associated with high rates of GIT malignancies. Major society guidelines recommend bidirectional endoscopic evaluation for all men and post‐menopausal women with newly diagnosed, unexplained IDA. However, in patients prescribed direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), the endoscopic yield, specifically the rate of high‐risk findings, including colorectal cancers (CRCs) and advanced adenomas (AAs), is unknown.AimOur aim is to determine the endoscopic yield, specifically the prevalence of these high‐risk findings in patients presenting with new‐onset unexplained IDA while on a DOAC.MethodsThis is a single‐centre, retrospective analysis performed at a tertiary hospital in Australia. Between January 2015 and July 2019, 178 consecutive patients underwent endoscopic evaluation for IDA while prescribed a DOAC. Patient demographics, laboratory data, medications and endoscopic findings were summarised and compared by diagnostic yield. Associations were explored using logistic regression analysis.ResultsCRCs were present in 2/178 (1.1% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.1–4.0)) patients. AAs were found in 35/178 (19.6% (95% CI: 14.1–26.3)) patients. The most common AAs were tubular adenomas (45.7%), tubulovillous (31.4%) and sessile serrated adenomas (14.2%). Older age (P = 0.013) and lower ferritin levels (P = 0.009) were associated with the presence of high‐risk findings.ConclusionIn patients presenting with new‐onset, unexplained IDA while on a DOAC, the prevalence of CRCs is lower than previously reported in studies involving populations not prescribed DOACs. Conversely, there is a higher incidence of AAs, including high‐risk histological features, such as tubulovillous adenomas and sessile serrated polyps.
Interaction Between Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Alcohol in the Development of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Authors: Poorolajal Jalal , Shadi Yahya , Heshmati Bahram 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTThe objective of this report is to provide clarification on the interaction among hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and alcohol in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases up to July 18, 2023. The inclusion criteria involved observational studies that examined the relationship between HBV, HCV, alcohol use and the development of HCC. To assess between‐study heterogeneity, the I2 statistics were employed. Publication bias was evaluated using the Begg and Egger tests. The effect sizes were estimated as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) utilising a random‐effects model. Among the initial pool of 31,021 studies identified, 28 studies involving 42,406 participants met the inclusion criteria. Through our meta‐analysis, we found that the combined effect of HBV and alcohol was associated with an OR of 14.56 (95% CI: 9.80, 21.65). The combined impact of HCV and alcohol showed an OR of 42.44 (95% CI: 20.11, 89.56). Coinfection with both HBV and HCV was associated with an OR of 32.58 (95% CI: 20.57, 51.60). These results emphasising the importance of reducing alcohol consumption and implementing effective viral hepatitis prevention and treatment.
Writing worlds: Exploring mentorship approaches supporting adolescents' authentic writing across a Canadian youth centre's programmes
Authors: Mannard Emily 
Published: December 2024

AbstractIn its diverse forms, authentic writing carries the potential to connect literacy practice to an author's ‘real world’. While contemporary approaches to authentic writing instruction—advocating writer‐centred, intertextual and culturally relevant productions—are most often explored in formal learning contexts like classrooms, this paper seeks to amplify the mentorship strategies employed within an informal youth centre learning space in Montreal, Canada. The following research questions have guided this work: (1) How do adult mentors leverage authentic writing principles to support adolescents' participation within two writing‐based programmes developed in a youth centre context? (2) How do the interests, perspectives and backgrounds of adult mentors shape the mentorship strategies they choose to employ? Data collected and analysed through participant‐focused ethnographic approaches assist the author in revealing how adult writing mentors draw from their own cultural, linguistic and embodied experiences to foster interest‐driven, culturally sustaining and community‐based writing opportunities for adolescents. The four key mentorship themes emerging through this research—centring the essential role of writing journeys, identities and communities while acknowledging several barriers to authentic writing—advocate drawing from the rich literacy practices thriving within informal contexts to inform contemporary writing curricula.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTBiochemical and evolutionary interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear genomes (‘mitonuclear interactions’) are proposed to underpin fundamental aspects of biology including evolution of sexual reproduction, adaptation and speciation. We investigated the role of pre‐mating isolation in maintaining functional mitonuclear interactions in wild populations bearing diverged, putatively co‐adapted mitonuclear genotypes. Two lineages of eastern yellow robin Eopsaltria australis—putatively climate‐adapted to ‘inland’ and ‘coastal’ climates—differ by ~7% of mitogenome nucleotides, whereas nuclear genome differences are concentrated into a sex‐linked region enriched with mitochondrial functions. Female‐specific selection and male‐mediated gene flow across the hybrid zone where the lineages coexist and interbreed can explain this pattern. It remains unknown whether lineage divergence is driven by intrinsic incompatibilities (particularly in females; Haldane's rule), extrinsic selection, both, or other drivers. We tested whether lineage divergence could be facilitated by non‐random mate‐pairing with respect to partners' mitolineage and/or mitonuclear genes encoded by the Z sex‐chromosome, which differ between the lineages. We used field‐, Z‐linked‐ and mitolineage data from two locations where lineages hybridise to test whether females mate disproportionately with (1) males of their own mitolineage and/or bearing similar Z‐linked variation, as might be expected if hybrids experience intrinsic incompatibilities, or (2) putatively locally‐adapted males, as might be expected under environmental selection. Comparing field observations with simulations provided no evidence of non‐random mating, thus drivers of observed population genetic patterns are consistent with reduced female gene flow likely acting post‐mating. Future tests of female‐biased mortality at different life stages and habitat selection may clarify mechanisms of selection.
Schenker against the Pack: Controversial Hypermetres in Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C major, The Well‐Tempered Clavier Book I
Authors: WAGNER NAPHTALI , REUVEN RAM 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTIs musical analysis meant to guide performance – or to be based on it? Can a Schenkerian analysis of a piece be corroborated by a performance or an arrangement? This article addresses these questions through a well‐known test case – the first prelude of the first book of Bach's Well‐Tempered Clavier, as analysed by Heinrich Schenker in Five Graphic Analyses. The emphasis is on the hypermetric aspect, which has direct implications for performance. The authors juxtapose Schenker's hypermetric perception of the Prelude with the performance instructions contributed by well‐known composers, pianists and musicologists to 37 historical instructive editions of WTC I. In addition, we compare Schenker's reading with works by composers who employed the Prelude as the basis for their works, with other music theorists who analysed the hypermetre of the Prelude and with Bach's preliminary versions of the piece. We consider arguments in support of Schenker's interpretation and ask whether one should follow one's musical intuition or the dictates of music theory.

ABSTRACTBackgroundAlthough cutaneous mycoses are a global public health problem, very few data are available in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).ObjectivesThis study aimed to describe the retrospective clinical epidemiology of dermatomycosis and their associated risk factors in dermatological consultations in Kinshasa, DRC.MethodsA retrospective study based on the medical records of patients seen in the departments of dermatology of 2 major hospitals in Kinshasa from March 2000 to August 2023 was carried out. The diagnosis of the various types of dermatomycoses was established based on the dermatologist's clinical examination. Patient demographic and clinical data were collected for study purposes.ResultsOf 27,439 patients consulted at the two sites, 1142 were diagnosed with dermatomycosis (4.16%). Young women aged 27 (17–43) were most affected. Diagnosed patients shared a history of skin mycoses (26%), use of skin‐lightening products (19%) and diabetes mellitus (9.6%). Among these patients, 59.3% suffered from dermatophytosis (tinea), 39.1% from malassesiosis and 1.2% from candidal dermatosis. While tinea was predominantly found in children (81.88%, p < 0.001), pruritus and pain in the lesions were preferentially reported by the dermatophytosis patients [65.25% (p < 0.001) and 79.1% (p < 0.001), respectively]. Tinea corporis (45.5%), tinea capitis (20.4%), tinea pedis (19.3%) and onychomycosis (10.2%) were the main nosological entities in the dermatophytosis group, and their distribution on the body surface depended on patients' age (p < 0.001) and sex (p = 0.012).ConclusionsDominated by dermatophytosis, dermatomycosis are frequent in dermatological consultations in Kinshasa. While clinical diagnosis remains an important element in the description of dermatomycosis, a better epidemiological understanding would also require biological identification of the fungi involved, which was lacking in this study.
Carboxylation and Oxygenation Kinetics and Large Subunit (rbcL) DNA Sequences for Rubisco From Two Ecotypes of Plantago lanceolata L. That Are Native to Sites Differing in Atmospheric CO2 Levels
Authors: Shi Xiaoxiao , Hannon Nathan M. , Bloom Arnold J. 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTRubisco, the most prevalent protein on Earth, catalysers both a reaction that initiates C3 carbon fixation, and a reaction that initiates photorespiration, which stimulates protein synthesis. Regulation of the balance between these reactions under atmospheric CO2 fluctuations remains poorly understood. We have hypothesised that vascular plants maintain organic carbon‐to‐nitrogen homoeostasis by adjusting the relative activities of magnesium and manganese in chloroplasts to balance carbon fixation and nitrate assimilation rates. The following examined the influence of magnesium and manganese on carboxylation and oxygenation for rubisco purified from two ecotypes of Plantago lanceolata L.: one adapted to the elevated CO2 atmospheres that occur near a natural CO2 spring and the other adapted to more typical CO2 atmospheres that occur nearby. The plastid DNA coding for the large unit of rubisco was similar in both ecotypes. The kinetics of rubiscos from the two ecotypes differed more when associated with manganese than magnesium. Specificity for CO2 over O2 (Sc/o) for rubisco from both ecotypes was higher when the enzymes were bound to magnesium than manganese. Differences in the responses of rubisco from P. lanceolata to the metals may account for the adaptation of this species to different CO2 environments.
Neural Reactivity to Emotional Stimuli in Children With and Without a History of Self‐Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors
Authors: Shankar Pooja , Gibb Brandon E. 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTSuicide is a significant public health concern and a leading cause of death for children in the United States. As such, there is a growing need to identify correlates of self‐injurious thoughts and behaviors in youth, particularly potentially modifiable factors that could be targeted by interventions. One potential factor is neural reactivity to emotional stimuli. Prior research has suggested that the late positive potential (LPP), an event‐related potential (ERP) component that indexes this reactivity, may be blunted in adults with a history of suicidality (i.e., ideation and/or suicidal behaviors). These findings have been interpreted in the context of cognitive models of risk, which focus on blunted reactivity to emotional stimuli broadly or to positive stimuli specifically (with perhaps heightened reactivity to negative stimuli). The goal of this study was to determine whether blunted patterns of neural reactivity toward emotional stimuli are observed in children with a history of self‐injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) and whether this may differ across emotional contexts (afraid, happy, sad) and intensities (low, medium, high). The study focused on 7‐11‐year‐old children (50.51% girls, 62.63% non‐Hispanic White) with (n = 16) and without (n = 83) a history of SITBs. LPP amplitudes were indexed during a Morphed Faces task, in which stimuli displaying a variety of emotional expressions (afraid, happy, and sad) were morphed to display low, medium, and high levels of each emotion. The strongest between‐group difference was observed for medium‐intensity positive emotional stimuli, with children with SITBs showing blunted responses. These findings provide some support for the positive attenuation hypothesis and suggest that blunted LPP response to ambiguous positive emotional stimuli may be useful as a marker of risk and potential target for intervention.
The Use of Single Pass Albumin Dialysis and Hemoadsorption in Management of Life‐Threatening Amlodipine Overdose

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTWe report the successful application of single pass albumin dialysis (SPAD) and hemoadsorption (HA) in two teenagers with amlodipine poisoning. A 16‐year‐old girl with amlodipine overdose developed refractory shock and lactic acidosis despite multiple inotropes, calcium, insulin, and glucagon infusion. SPAD was initiated 18 h after the incident for 21 h. She improved dramatically and was able to wean off all inotropes 54 h after admission. Another 16‐year‐old girl required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support after deliberate consumption of 1100‐mg amlodipine. SPAD was initiated 13 h after the incident for 38 h, followed by two more sessions of HA using the Cytosorb column. All inotropes were stopped 18 h after terminating the HA, and ECMO was weaned off 28 h later. There were no major complications during the therapy. Our cases demonstrated that early extracorporeal removal can be considered as an adjunctive therapy in children with life‐threatening amlodipine overdose.

Authors: Ojuekaiye Olusegun 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This research delves into the multifaceted realm of carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization and transportation, focusing on combatting the pressing global challenge of climate change. Through an extensive review of literature, this study offers a comprehensive overview of existing knowledge on CO2 utilization technologies and transportation methods, identifying critical gaps and establishing research objectives to address these voids. Various CO2 utilization technologies such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR), carbonation of minerals, and synthetic fuel production are examined, with case studies highlighting their applications, efficiency, and environmental impact. The economic viability and technical feasibility of these technologies are explored, considering their potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Simultaneously, the study evaluates CO2 transportation methods including pipelines, shipping, and trucking, analyzing safety considerations, infrastructure challenges, and environmental implications to optimize transportation logistics while minimizing environmental impact. Results drawn from quantitative data, case studies, and comparative analysis are presented, followed by a discussion interpreting these findings in the context of climate change mitigation and sustainable development. The research concludes with key findings, acknowledgment of limitations, and suggestions for future exploration, contributing to the essential knowledge base for effective strategies in combating climate change through innovative CO2 utilization and transportation practices.

This study aimed to determine the impact of cab noise when driving Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) on cut-point estimated moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) from wrist-worn accelerometers. First, we investigated the impact of cab noise on accelerometer output during HGV driving and then on cut-point estimated MVPA in HGV drivers. A GENEActiv accelerometer was located beneath the seat in six HGVs for 8 days. Acceleration recorded during driving lay predominantly (∼94%) within the sedentary range (<40mg). HGV drivers (N = 386, 47.9 ± 9.3 years) wore a wrist-worn GENEActiv and a thigh-worn activPAL simultaneously for 8 days covering workdays and nonworkdays. MVPA recorded by the activPAL excludes seated transport, thus provided the criterion. Wrist accelerometer MVPA was classified using two cut-points approximating 3 metabolic equivalents (MVPA100mg) and 4.3 metabolic equivalents (indicative of brisk walking, MVPABRISK_WALK). Acceleration classified as MVPA100mg or MVPABRISK_WALK during activPAL-determined seated transport was considered erroneous. Across all-days, activPAL MVPA was 15 (interquartile range: 9, 26) min/day. Compared with activPAL, MVPA100mg was 100 min/day higher (95% limits of agreement ±53 min), but MVPABRISK_WALK similar (mean bias = −2 min/day, 95% limits of agreement ±15). On workdays, 23 (interquartile range: 11, 52) min of MVPA100mg and 2 (1, 7) min of MVPABRISK_WALK were erroneous. However, on nonworkdays, only 4 (3, 14) and 0.4 (0, 1) min, respectively, were erroneous. In conclusion, MVPA may be erroneously captured using cut-point analyses of accelerometer data in HGV drivers. However, this was substantially reduced by using an MVPA cut-point indicative of brisk walking, which also approximated activPAL estimated MVPA.

ObjectiveTo examine existing literature regarding health literacy levels and their association with multimorbidity and the potential underlying mechanisms behind the said association.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesThe databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and Science Direct were searched for articles published between 1 January 2000 and 31 October 2023 using a systematic search strategy.Eligibility criteriaIncluded were all primary studies conducted in people over 18 years old with data on health literacy levels and the presence of multimorbidity. No language restrictions were used.Data extraction and synthesisTwo authors independently extracted data and assessed the bias using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools.ResultsWe included a total of 39 studies (36 quantitative, two qualitative and one mixed-method), representing 154 337 participants. We found a 32% proportion of limited health literacy among individuals with multimorbidity. Analysis of three articles using the Health Literacy Questionnaire tool (n=31 228) (Pooled OR 2.88 (95% CI 1.92 to 4.31)) and three articles using the Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire–European Union tool (n=35 358) (OR 1.16 (95% CI 1.07 to 1.25)) indicated that people with limited health literacy were likely to have multiple conditions. One of three articles studying underlying mechanisms reported that self-efficacy mediates the association between health literacy and multimorbidity. Additionally, substantial literature identified education and income as the most consistent determinants of health literacy among individuals with multimorbidity. Of the only two articles studying the effectiveness of health literacy-related interventions, both reported an improvement in clinical outcomes after the intervention.ConclusionsOur review demonstrated a consistent association between health literacy and multimorbidity, indicating that people with lower health literacy levels are more likely to have multimorbidity. More evidence is needed regarding the effect of health literacy interventions on multimorbidity.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42022301369.
