Published: August 2021

AbstractThe role of personality traits in modulating the incidence and progression of medical disease conditions are well documented, however, there is a paucity of information for its effects on dental health conditions and specifically on the prognosis of restorative dental materials. This study aims to evaluate the clinical performance of Micro-hybrid and Nano-ceramic composite restorations among patients with different personality traits. A total of 323 patients, indicated to receive operative treatment at a University Dental College Hospital, were invited to participate in this study. Consenting patients were requested to complete the Big Five Inventory (BFI-44 Item) personality questionnaire and were evaluated by a psychiatrist for categorizing the participants based on their personality traits. Out of the recruited patients, 124 patients falling in to the dominant trait of Agreeableness (n = 62) and Neuroticism (n = 62) were included in the study for further investigation. Next, patients from the Agreeableness (Group A) and the Neuroticism personality trait group (Group N) were randomly divided into two subgroups each—sub group Am (n = 44) and Nm (n = 48) for Micro-hybrid composite restorations and Sub group An (n = 42) and Nn (n = 47) for Nano-ceramic composite restorations. Two trained and calibrated dentists prepared the cavities according to previously published methodology. The restorations were evaluated at baseline (immediately after restoration), 6-months, 12-months and 24-months intervals by two blinded independent dental professionals for anatomical form, secondary caries, color match, retention, marginal adaptation, surface texture, marginal discoloration and post-operative sensitivity. There is no statistically significant difference noted in various parameters of restoration performance between Micro-hybrid composite and Nano-ceramic composite compared among ‘agreeableness’ personality group and among ‘neuroticism’ personality group after controlling the personality trait factor. Higher ‘Neuroticism’ individuals had higher restoration deterioration in color matching and surface texture when compared to higher ‘Agreeableness’ trait individuals. Regression analysis showed no effect of gender or cavity size on the outcome of results. Assessment of personality traits may serve as a useful tool during treatment planning which would aid clinicians in choosing suitable restorative dental material and prosthesis design according to individual patient’s physiological and functional needs, thereby overall improving the quality of treatment provided.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate how the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores contribute to early recovery and 2-year mortality in elderly patients undergoing surgical treatment of inter-trochanteric fractures. 60 cases with unilateral intertrochanteric fracture were retrospectively analyzed and divided into Low-CCI group (CCI: 1–4) or high-CCI groups (CCI: 5–6). All the patients’ electronic hospital records were reviewed. The preoperative situations (demographic data, comorbidities and fracture conditions), perioperative situations (wait time, operation time, implant choice, blood loss, transfusion or not) and postoperative situations (complications, first time out of bed, function about 1-/2- week and 2-year mortality) were recorded. 51.67% were in low-CCI group and 48.33% in high-CCI group. The survival rates in low- and high-CCI group were 93.5% and 86.2% respectively. According to the functional results of 1- or 2- week after operation, no significant difference was found (P = 0.955, 0.140). Log-rank analysis showed that the main prognostic factors were blood loss, first time out of bed and complication (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed that complication and first time out of bed were significant factor on survival rate (P = 0.029, 0.010). Charlson comorbidity index maybe not the indicator of 2-year mortality in older patients with intertrochanteric fractures. In order to improve the prognosis, more attentions should be paid to reduce the complications and encourage postoperative earlier excise out of bed.

AbstractProviding accessible and effective healthcare solutions for people living in low- and middle-income countries, migrants, and indigenous people is central to reduce the global mental health treatment gap. Internet- and mobile-based interventions (IMI) are considered scalable psychological interventions to reduce the burden of mental disorders and are culturally adapted for implementation in these target groups. In October 2020, the databases PsycInfo, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science were systematically searched for studies that culturally adapted IMI for mental disorders. Among 9438 screened records, we identified 55 eligible articles. We extracted 17 content, methodological, and procedural components of culturally adapting IMI, aiming to consider specific situations and perspectives of the target populations. Adherence and effectiveness of the adapted IMI seemed similar to the original IMI; yet, no included study conducted a direct comparison. The presented taxonomy of cultural adaptation of IMI for mental disorders provides a basis for future studies investigating the relevance and necessity of their cultural adaptation.PROSPERO registration number: CRD42019142320.

AbstractTemperature and bioavailable energy control the distribution of life on Earth, and interact with each other due to the dependency of biological energy requirements on temperature. Here we analyze how temperature-energy interactions structure sediment microbial communities in two hydrothermally active areas of Guaymas Basin. Sites from one area experience advective input of thermogenically produced electron donors by seepage from deeper layers, whereas sites from the other area are diffusion-dominated and electron donor-depleted. In both locations, Archaea dominate at temperatures >45 °C and Bacteria at temperatures <10 °C. Yet, at the phylum level and below, there are clear differences. Hot seep sites have high proportions of typical hydrothermal vent and hot spring taxa. By contrast, high-temperature sites without seepage harbor mainly novel taxa belonging to phyla that are widespread in cold subseafloor sediment. Our results suggest that in hydrothermal sediments temperature determines domain-level dominance, whereas temperature-energy interactions structure microbial communities at the phylum-level and below.

Published: August 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate engagement in collaborative research (team science) and perceptions of related knowledge and skills to inform personnel preparation and workforce development efforts.

Method
A questionnaire was used to solicit information about the team science–related experiences of 220 doctoral students, faculty, and research scientists in speech-pathology and audiology. Additionally, the questionnaire surveyed participants' perceptions of readiness, benefits, and challenges to team science.

Results
Results demonstrated low percentages of respondents had received training in collaborative research (17%), and those with training were more likely to engage in cross-disciplinary collaborative research. Group differences were found with female researchers reporting lower psychological safety than male researchers. The most frequently cited advantages of team science included diverse perspectives, collective expertise, innovative ideas, and productivity. Conversely, common challenges included time constraints, finding collaborators, and differing expectations.

Implications
Because this study yielded group difference in psychological safety between groups that differed in gender and position, results suggest additional efforts may be necessary to ensure that imbalances in the power structure of members are not allowed to dissuade members from actively contributing to team activities. Additional training opportunities in team science could support the degree to which professionals in communication science and disorders engage in collaborative research.

Electron-proton co-acceleration on relativistic shocks in extreme-TeV blazars
Authors: Zech Andreas , Lemoine Martin 
Published: August 2021

Aims. The multi-wavelength emission from a newly identified population of ‘extreme-TeV’ blazars, with Compton peak frequencies around 1 TeV, is difficult to interpret with standard one-zone emission models. Large values of the minimum electron Lorentz factor and quite low magnetisation values seem to be required.
Methods. We propose a scenario where protons and electrons are co-accelerated on internal or recollimation shocks inside the relativistic jet. In this situation, energy is transferred from the protons to the electrons in the shock transition layer, leading naturally to a high minimum Lorentz factor for the latter. A low magnetisation favours the acceleration of particles in relativistic shocks.
Results. The shock co-acceleration scenario provides additional constraints on the set of parameters of a standard one-zone lepto-hadronic emission model, reducing its degeneracy. Values of the magnetic field strength of a few mG and minimum electron Lorentz factors of 103 to 104, required to provide a satisfactory description of the observed spectral energy distributions of extreme blazars, result here from first principles. While acceleration on a single standing shock is sufficient to reproduce the emission of most of the extreme-TeV sources we have examined, re-acceleration on a second shock appears needed for those objects with the hardest γ-ray spectra. Emission from the accelerated proton population, with the same number density as the electrons but in a lower range of Lorentz factors, is strongly suppressed. Satisfactory self-consistent representations were found for the most prominent representatives of this new blazar class.

Context. Radio halos are megaparsec-scale diffuse radio sources mostly located at the centres of merging galaxy clusters. The common mechanism invoked to explain their origin is the re-acceleration of relativistic particles caused by large-scale turbulence.
Aims. Current re-acceleration models predict that a significant number of halos at high redshift should be characterised by very steep spectra (α < −1.5) because of increasing inverse Compton energy losses. In this paper, we investigate the spectral index properties of a sample of nine clusters selected from the second Planck Sunyaev-Zel’dovich catalogue showing diffuse radio emission with the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) in the 120–168 MHz band. This is the first time that radio halos discovered at low frequencies are followed up at higher frequencies.
Methods. We analysed upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) observations in Bands 3 and 4, that is, 250–500 and 550–900 MHz respectively. These observations were combined with existing LOFAR data to obtain information on the spectral properties of the diffuse radio emission.
Results. We find diffuse radio emission in the uGMRT observations for five of the nine high-z radio halos previously discovered with LOFAR. For those, we measure spectral indices in the range of −1 to −1.4. For the uGMRT non-detections, we estimated that the halos should have a spectral index steeper than −1.5. We also confirm the presence of one candidate relic.
Conclusions. Despite the small number of clusters, we find evidence that about half of the massive and merging clusters at high redshift host radio halos with a very steep spectrum. This is in line with theoretical predictions, although larger statistical samples are necessary to test models.

Published: August 2021

AbstractThe objective was to investigate the effects of a 9-week elastic resistance band training within the regular handball training sessions compared to regular handball training only. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention (INT: n=16; age: 17.0 ± 0.7 years) or a control (CON: n=16; age: 16.9 ± 0.9 years) group. The INT-group performed elastic resistance band exercises (3/week) for 20–30 minutes while the CON-group conducted regular handball training only. Pre- and post-training assessments included measures of strength endurance (Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test [CKCUEST]), maximal isometric strength (MIS), and throwing velocity. Significant main effects of Test (i.e. pre- to post-training enhancements) were detected for the CKCUEST (p < 0.001, 0.54 ≤ ηp
2 ≤ 0.57) and throwing velocity (p = 0.001, ηp
2 = 0.34). We found a significant (throwing velocity: p = 0.004, ηp
2 = 0.25) and a tendency toward (MIS of the internal rotators, non-throwing arm: p = 0.068, ηp
2 = 0.12) a significant Test × Group interaction, both in favour of the INT-group. A 9-week strengthening program using elastic resistance bands combined with regular handball training is effective to improve upper extremity strength endurance, throwing velocity, and MIS of the internal rotators of the non-throwing arm.
Toxische epidermale Nekrolyse (TEN) – durch, verstärkt durch oder parallel zu einer SARS-CoV-2-Infektion?

Published: August 2021

ZusammenfassungDie Coronavirus-Pandemie ist auch im Alltag einer dermatologischen Praxis allgegenwärtig. Wir berichten über einen 55-jährigen Patienten, der sich mit einer toxisch-epidermalen Nekrolyse (TEN) vorstellte. Auf intensive Nachfrage ergab sich zunächst, dass er direkten Kontakt zu einer Person mit gesichertem Nachweis einer SARS-CoV-2-Infektion gehabt hatte, also K1-Kontakt war. Sein Corona-Test war zunächst jedoch 2-mal negativ. Dies veranlasste entsprechende Vorsichtsmaßnahmen bei der stationären Aufnahme des Patienten, die sich als richtig erwiesen, da der dritte PCR-Test nunmehr positiv war und die stattgehabte Infektion später in einem Antikörper-Test bei ihm und der Kontaktperson bestätigt wurde. Die TEN war möglicherweise durch Amoxicillin oder Metronidazol ausgelöst worden und wurde unter stationären Bedingungen erfolgreich mit hoch dosierten systemischen Steroiden und adäquater topischer Behandlung therapiert. Die Hauterkrankung heilte ad integrum ab.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background Large solid hemangioblastoma in the posterior fossa has an abundant blood supply as an arteriovenous malformation. The presence of adjacent vital neurovascular structures makes them vulnerable and difficult to operate. Complete surgical resection is always a challenge to the neurosurgeon.
Material and Method We share the surgical difficulties and outcome in this case series of large solid hemangioblastomas without preoperative embolization as an adjunct. This study included five patients (three men and two women, with a mean age of 42.2 years). Preoperative embolization was attempted in one patient but was unsuccessful. All the patients have headache (100%) and ataxia (100%) as an initial symptom. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt was inserted in one case before definite surgery due to obstructive hydrocephalus. The surgical outcome was measured using the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score.
Result The tumor was excised completely in all the cases. No intra- and postoperative morbidity occurred in four patients; one patient developed transient lower cranial nerve palsy. Mean blood loss was 235 mL, and no intraoperative blood transfusion was needed in any case. The mean follow-up period was 14.2 months. The mean KPS score at last follow-up was 80.One patient had a KPS score of 60.
Conclusion Our treatment strategy is of circumferential dissection followed by en bloc excision, which is the optimal treatment of large solid hemangioblastoma. The use of adjuncts as color duplex sonography and indocyanine green video angiography may help complete tumor excision with a lesser risk of complication. Preoperative embolization may not be needed to resect large solid posterior fossa hemangioblastoma, including those at the cerebellopontine angle location.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to assess whether serum cytokine levels correlate with clinical periodontal parameters in health or disease.
Materials and Methods Male subjects (40–60 years) with CP (n = 30), CP + CHD (n = 30), and healthy controls (n = 20) had plaque index (PLI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) evaluated. Serum IL-1β and IL-6 levels were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results PLI, GI, PPD, and CAL were significantly higher in patients with CP + CHD compared to those with CP. Serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were also significantly higher in CP + CHD compared to those with CP, with both groups also being significantly higher than controls. There was a strong correlation between IL-1β and PPD and CAL and between IL-6 and GI and CAL in the CP group and between IL-6 and GI and PPD in the CP + CHD group.
Conclusion The results provide further evidence that periodontitis triggers systemic inflammation. Cytokine levels in patients with periodontitis may represent a useful screening tool to identify those at greater risk of cardiovascular events.

Published: August 2021

Significance
Lipid organization of the plasma membrane is known to be important for facilitating protein interactions in transmembrane signaling. However, the orchestration of these interactions in live cells remains elusive. We employed imaging fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (ImFCS) to systemically investigate the interplay of lipids and proteins during mast cell signaling, initiated as phosphorylation of antigen-crosslinked immunoglobulin E–receptor (IgE-FcεRI) complexes by lipid-anchored Lyn kinase. We found that stabilized liquid ordered-like nanodomains around clustered FcεRI—which can be accessed by Lyn kinase but not by transmembrane phosphatase—provide essential spatial filtering that augments Lyn’s binding and phosphorylating FcεRI while suppressing dephosphorylation by phosphatase. ImFCS provides quantitative evidence of the functional link between lipid-based membrane organization and transmembrane signaling in live cells.

Significance
Pt-based alloys are regarded as the oxygen-reduction electrocatalysts with the most potential to replace commercial Pt/C in proton exchange membrane fuel cells as long as their durability reaches the required standard. We demonstrated a series of Pt-based intermetallic compounds with ultrathin Pt skin and an average particle size down to about 2.3 nm that bring sustainable cyclic mass activity in fuel cells. Moreover, the subsize scale of Pt-based intermetallic compounds benefits the design of the confined structure for membrane electrode assembly, which further enhanced the stability under humid fuel-cell operations. Our work highlights advanced electrocatalysts for fuel cells and offers insight into the correlation between the structure and performance for membrane cathode electrode structures.

Abstract
A typical geometry extracted from the path integral of a quantum theory of gravity may be quite complicated in the UV region. Even if a single configuration is not physical, its properties may be of interest to understand the details of its nature, since some universal features can be important for the physics of the model. If the formalism describing the geometry is coordinate independent, which is the case in the model studied here, such understanding may be facilitated by the use of suitable coordinate systems. In this article we use scalar fields that solve Laplace’s equation to introduce coordinates on geometries with a toroidal topology. Using these coordinates we observe what we identify as the cosmic voids and filaments structure, even if matter is only a tool to visualize the geometry. We also show that if the scalar fields we used as coordinates are dynamically coupled to geometry, they can change it in a dramatic way, leading to a modification of the spatial topology.
