AbstractBackgroundScarring is an unfortunate result of acne because it causes the psychological and cosmetic problems for the patients. Unfortunately, no single treatment is suitable, and using multiple methods may have a better result. The autologous fat and stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells and their secretory factors can enhance the angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and migration of fibroblasts, therefore regenerate hurt tissues. Moreover, other treatments for acne scarring, such as platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), induce the increase in scare.AimsThis study aimed to verify the effectiveness of transplantation of autologous fat, SVF cells, and PRP as cell therapy techniques on atrophic acne scars.Patients/MethodsThis study included 9 adult patients with atrophic acne scars on face. All patients received the transplantation of autologous fat, stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells, and PRP. The treatment outcome was measured by biometric assessment (VisioFace 1000 D, Colorimeter, multi‐probe adapter Cutometer, Tewameter, Mexameter, and skin ultrasound imaging system), and also, the satisfaction of patients was evaluated. The patients were followed 6 months after the treatment.ResultsThere was a significant improvement in the skin pores, spots, skin lightness and melanin content of skin, skin elasticity, and TEWL (transepidermal water loss) after 6 months of the treatment. Furthermore, denser skin layers were observed both in the epidermis and in the dermis. Moreover, 66.6% of patients showed good satisfaction after the treatment.ConclusionIn brief, the transplantation of autologous fat, SVF cells, and PRP is an effective cell therapy for atrophic acne scars.

AbstractAimThe purpose of this study was to investigate the outcomes of fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) for twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) in Japan.MethodsThe retrospective cohort study (2012–2018) was conducted in monochorionic twin pregnancies that underwent FLP for TTTS between 26 and 27 weeks from 2012 to 2018. The perioperative data, maternal complications, gestational age (GA) at delivery, neonatal complications, and survival of infants at 28 days of age were analyzed. At term‐equivalent age, severe neurological complications were identified by imaging study.ResultsOf 644 patients, 28 (4.3%) underwent FLP between 26 and 27 weeks, and 26 were analyzed. FLP procedures were technically successful in all cases. There were no cases of major maternal complications after surgery. Preterm rupture of membranes occurred in 34.6% of cases, and the mean GA at delivery was 33.2 ± 3.1 weeks. The survival of both twins was found in 23 (88.4%) cases, and the perinatal survival rate of at least one twin at 28 days of age was 100%. Severe neurological complications were found in six (12.2%) cases out of 49.ConclusionsFLP for TTTS between 26 and 27 weeks provided a good prognosis and caused no major maternal complications. However, severe neurological findings were found in 12% of infants.

AbstractBackgroundApproaches to the evaluation of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in premature calves by using lung‐specific epithelial and endothelial biomarkers are needed.ObjectiveTo investigate the evaluation of PAH in premature calves with and without respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) by using lung‐specific epithelial and endothelial biomarkers and determine the prognostic value of these markers in premature calves.AnimalsFifty premature calves with RDS, 20 non‐RDS premature calves, and 10 healthy term calves.MethodsHypoxia, hypercapnia, and tachypnea were considered criteria for RDS. Arterial blood gases (PaO2, PaCO2, oxygen saturation [SO2], base excess [BE], and serum lactate concentration) were measured to assess hypoxia. Serum concentrations of lung‐specific growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF‐15), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), endothelin‐1 (ET‐1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and surfactant protein D (SP‐D) were measured to assess PAH.ResultsArterial blood pH, PaO2, SO2, and BE of premature calves with RDS were significantly lower and PaCO2 and lactate concentrations higher compared to non‐RDS premature and healthy calves. The ADMA and SP‐D concentrations of premature calves with RDS were lower and serum ET‐1 concentrations higher than those of non‐RDS premature and healthy calves. No statistical differences for GDF‐15 and VEGF were found among groups.Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceSignificant increases in serum ET‐1 concentrations and decreases in ADMA and SP‐D concentrations highlight the utility of these markers in the diagnosis of PAH in premature calves with RDS. Also, we found that ET‐1 was a reliable diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for PAH and predicting mortality in premature calves.

AbstractDespite the high prevalence of inadequate gestational weight gain (GWG) and adverse pregnancy outcomes, very few studies have addressed the association between GWG and pregnancy outcomes in South Asia. Our objectives were to estimate the prevalence of GWG during the second and third trimesters within, below and above the Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines, and to estimate the effect of the rate and adequacy of GWG on gestational age at the time of delivery, weight, length, length‐for‐age z‐score (LAZ), weight‐for‐length z‐score (WLZ) and adverse pregnancy outcomes, namely prematurity, small‐for‐gestational age (SGA), low birth weight (LBW), stunting and wasting at birth. We analysed data from the intervention group of the Women and Infants Integrated Interventions for Growth Study (WINGS), which is an ongoing individually randomized factorial design study. Of the 1332 women analysed, 40.2% [95% confidence interval (CI) 37.5 to 42.8] had GWG below the IOM guidelines. For every 100‐g/week increase in GWG, birth weight increased by 61 g, birth length by 0.16 cm, LAZ score by 0.08 SD, WLZ score by 0.14 SD, and gestational age at birth by 0.48 days. Women with GWG below the IOM guidelines had a higher relative risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (44% for LBW, 27% for SGA, 32% for stunting and 42% for wasting at birth) than women who had GWG within the IOM guidelines, except for prematurity. The association between GWG and LAZ scores at birth was modified by early pregnancy body mass index (BMI). GWG is a strong predictor of newborn anthropometric outcomes and duration of gestation but not prematurity.

AbstractXanthomonas phaseolipv.manihotis(Xpm) andX. cassavae(Xc) are two bacterial pathogens attacking cassava. Cassava bacterial blight (CBB) is a systemic disease caused by Xpm, which might have dramatic effects on plant growth and crop production. Cassava bacterial necrosis is a nonvascular disease caused by Xc with foliar symptoms similar to CBB, but its impacts on the plant vigour and the crop are limited. In this review, we describe the epidemiology and ecology of the two pathogens, the impacts and management of the diseases, and the main research achievements for each pathosystem. Because Xc data are sparse, our main focus is on Xpm and CBB.

AbstractSoil salinization drastically affects crop growth, development and yield. In order to tackle salinity, knowledge about stress tolerance mechanism is important to expedite the development of salt‐tolerant cultivars. In this study, 20 oat genotypes consisting of 11 cultivated and nine wild Avena species were evaluated at different levels of salinity with 1:1 NaCl and Na2SO4 salts mixtures under hydroponics and pot experimental set‐up. Drastic reduction was observed in chlorophyll, relative water and K+/Na+ contents, along with yield traits in sensitive genotypes (HFO‐103, Kent and JHO‐2000‐4) when compared with tolerant (HJ‐8, JHO‐99‐2, HFO‐873 and HFO‐878) under elevated salinity. Root anatomical section studies were also critical to screen salinity tolerance among the oat genotypes. Furthermore, the effect of salinity at the transcriptomic level resulted in upregulation of sodium/hydrogen exchanger and potassium transporter genes along with WRKY17 transcription factor, regulating the signalling and osmotic roles in tolerant genotypes (HJ‐8 and HFO‐873). The identified salt‐tolerant oat genotypes reflected wide genetic diversity using SSR markers which can serve as a crucial donor for salt tolerance in oat breeding programmes.

AbstractBackground/ObjectiveHerpes simplex virus (HSV) infection acquired in utero may present with non‐vesicular dermatologic findings in affected newborns, which may pose a diagnostic dilemma. We aimed to describe and assess the range of non‐vesiculobullous skin lesions that neonates with intrauterine HSV infection may manifest at birth.MethodsWe collected a multicenter case series and conducted a literature review of neonates with intrauterine HSV infection presenting with non‐vesiculobullous cutaneous lesions.ResultsTwenty‐two cases were reviewed, including six managed clinically by members of our team and 16 identified in the literature. Four (18%) were associated with twin pregnancies, and thirteen (59%) cases occurred in premature infants. Only four (18%) mothers had a documented history of HSV infection. Twelve (55%) cases resulted in poor outcomes, including long‐term neurologic sequelae or death. Cutaneous manifestations included erosions, ulcerations, crusted papules or plaques, calcinosis cutis, excoriations, macules (erythematous, hypopigmented, or hyperpigmented), cutaneous atrophy, contractures, and bruising. About one‐third of neonates developed new‐onset vesicular lesions within a week of birth; in each of these cases, accurate diagnosis and therapy were delayed until appearance of vesicles.ConclusionsThe range of dermatologic findings associated with intrauterine HSV is extremely broad, and the various morphologies present at birth likely reflect different stages of the ongoing evolution of an HSV infection that began in utero. Clinicians should have a low threshold for HSV testing in premature neonates born with atypical cutaneous lesions, since early detection and treatment of HSV may reduce morbidity and mortality from systemic complications.
What fuels passion? An integrative review of competing theories of romantic passion
Authors: Carswell Kathleen L. , Impett Emily A. 
Published: July 2021

AbstractIn an integrative review, we examine four theories and models of romantic passion to determine what causes feelings of romantic passion. Although a growing consensus has emerged for the definition of romantic passion, we suggest that this is largely not the case for the source of romantic passion. We outline how four different perspectives—Limerence Theory, the Rate of Change in Intimacy Model, the Self‐Expansion Model, and the Triangular Theory of Love—propose four different potential sources of romantic passion and review empirical support in favor and against each. For each of these perspectives, we additionally outline the predicted trajectory of passion that follows from each theorized source of passion, as well as each perspective's view on the ability for passion to be controlled and up‐regulated. In identifying ways in which these theories and models offer conflicting predictions about the source of romantic passion, this review points to ways in which a more comprehensive model may be developed that integrates across these four perspectives.
Recognition of crevasses with high‐resolution digital elevation models: Application of geomorphometric modeling and texture analysis

Published: July 2021

AbstractCrevasses—cracks in glaciers and ice sheets—pose a danger to polar researchers and glaciologists. We compare the capabilities of two techniques—geomorphometric modeling and texture analysis—to recognize open and hidden crevasses using high‐resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) generated from images collected by an unmanned aerial system (UAS). The first technique includes derivation of local morphometric variables; the second includes calculation of the Haralick texture features. The study area is represented by the first 30 km of a sledge route between the Progress and Vostok polar stations, East Antarctica. The UAS survey was performed by a Geoscan 201 Geodesy UAS. For the sledge route area, DEMs with resolutions of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 m were generated. Models of 12 morphometric variables and 11 texture features were derived from the DEMs. In terms of crevasse recognition, the most informative morphometric variable and texture feature was horizontal curvature and inverse difference moment, respectively. In most cases, derivation and mapping of these variables allow one to recognize crevasses wider than 3 m; narrower crevasses can be recognized for lengths from 500 m. For crevasse recognition, the geomorphometric modeling and the Haralick texture analysis can complement each other.

AbstractIntroductionLittle is known about patient perceptions regarding HCV+ organ use in non‐HCV‐infected recipients. This study examined factors influencing the decision to accept HCV+ organs and the resulting impacts.MethodsAdult lung transplant (LT) patients or candidates who had consented to receive an HCV+ organ completed a survey including multiple choice, a five‐point Likert scale, and free‐text answers. A total of 67 LT recipients or candidates who had consented to receive HCV+ organs were enrolled, of which 21/67 (31%) received HCV+ lungs, 39 (58%) HCV− lungs, and seven (10%) were still waiting.ResultsPre‐transplant, 50/67 (75%) patients felt it was either “completely safe” or “very safe” to accept an HCV+ organ. Although 22/67 (33%) said they never or rarely took risks, they still made the decision to accept an HCV+ organ. Common reported reasons were desperation, perception of having “no choice,” and increasing symptom severity. In the subset of patients that were transplanted with an HCV+ organ (n = 21), only 12.5% reported second thoughts about accepting. Post‐transplant, the majority (87.5%) never felt any anxiety about HCV and most (83%) reported no impact from HCV. Perception of treatment tolerability and ease was highly favorable.ConclusionUse of HCV+ organs demonstrated minimal detrimental perceived impacts on lung transplant patients. Patients generally found the experience to be very positive.
Biology, distribution and control of the invasive speciesUlex europaeus(Gorse): A global synthesis of current and future management challenges and research gaps
Authors: Roberts Jason , Florentine Singarayer 
Published: July 2021

AbstractUlex europaeus(Gorse) is one of the most invasive shrubs in the world, being now found in more than 50 countries where it economically and environmentally degrades the land. This highly versatile shrub can live more than 30 years and produce over 18,000 fertile seeds annually that can remain viable for over 30 years.Ulex europaeusspread is facilitated by its ability to germinate in a wide range of conditions, quick growth and maturing rate and several seed dispersal mechanisms. Despite extensive research and attempts at managingU. europaeus, current rates of control are not adequate to limit the species’ competitiveness and impact on the environment. This has resulted in the species altering soil and landscape dynamics in areas of major invasion, inhibiting the growth of agricultural and native species, creating shelter for pest species and reducing the richness of competing species at a site, all of which contribute to the economic and environmental degradation of the land. This review highlights that herbicide application is the most successful technique used to controlU. europaeus, although it has shown varying success across different climatic regions. In this regard, future research should investigate the possibility of integrating a range of techniques (competition, fire management, grazing, manual removal and mycoherbicides) to increase control success and reduce any potential risk of herbicide resistance. Further research is also required on the maintenance of longer‐term viable populations of biological control agents to limit the success of this invasive species. Bridging the identified research gaps will help to facilitate the improved long‐term management ofU. europaeusand help land managers confidently to maintain sustainable land systems.
Time-Accurate Evaluation of Film Cooling Jet Characteristics for Plenum and Crossflow Coolant Supplies

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Gas turbine film cooling creates complicated and highly unsteady flow structures. This study seeks to examine the unsteady characteristics created by different cooling hole inlet geometries using a fast-response pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) technique able to capture time-accurate measurements at 2000 frames per second, resolving frequencies up to 1000 Hz. Time-accurate and time-averaged measurements are used to evaluate the performance of a plenum-style inlet and a crossflow-style inlet in varying turbulence environments over a flat plate. The results of this study are intended to begin the process of breaking down widely accepted time-averaged film effectiveness trends into the cumulative effects of freestream turbulence and momentum flux ratio, with emphasis on the cooling jet motions they cause. Jet behaviors observed in this study include a sweeping oscillation, unsteady attachment and separation from the plate, and time-accurate and time-averaged flow bias. Cooling hole inlet geometry and momentum flux ratio affect the core of the jet, and freestream turbulence affects the periphery of the jet. Crossflow-fed cooling holes show bias to the upstream side of the cooling hole with respect to the internal crossflow direction. Plenum-fed cooling holes outperform crossflow-fed cooling holes, and the difference grows with increasing momentum flux ratio. The frequency of both plenum- and crossflow-fed cooling jet motions is influenced by the freestream turbulent velocity fluctuations. The resulting mode shapes show dominant side-to-side sweeping for higher turbulence environments and a separation and reattachment motion for lower turbulence environments. At higher momentum flux ratio, the jets were seen to increasingly favor separation and reattachment motions. The results of this study are intended to better inform existing predictive tools. With a better understanding of the time-accurate behaviors responsible for creating the commonly accepted time-averaged coolant distributions, simple predictive tools may be better equipped to accurately model film cooling flows.

Published: July 2021

AimTo assess the applicability of a structure–function (S-F) analysis combining spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and standard automated perimetry (SAP) in glaucoma screening in a middle-aged population.MethodsA randomised sample of 3001 Caucasian participants aged 45–49 years of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort Eye Study was examined. We performed an eye examination, including 24–2 SAP, optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) photography and SD-OCT of the peripapillary RNFL. The S-F report was generated by Forum Glaucoma Workplace software. OCT, SAP and the S-F analysis were evaluated against clinical glaucoma diagnosis, that is, the positive ‘2 out of 3’ rule based on the clinician’s evaluation of ONH and RNFL photographs and visual fields (VFs).ResultsAt a specificity of 97.5%, the sensitivity for glaucomatous damage was 26% for abnormal OCT, 35% for SAP and 44% for S-F analysis. Estimated areas under the curve were 0.74, 0.85 and 0.76, and the corresponding positive predictive values were 8 %, 10% and 12%, respectively. By applying a classification tree approach combining OCT, SAP and defect localisation data, a sensitivity of 77% was achieved at 90% specificity. In a localisation analysis of glaucomatous structural and functional defects, the correlation with glaucoma increased significantly if the abnormal VF test points were located on borderline or abnormal OCT zones.ConclusionSAP performs slightly better than OCT in glaucoma screening of middle-aged population. However, the diagnostic capability can be improved by S-F analysis.
