AbstractObstetric fistula is a debilitating childbirth injury causing immense suffering for women and girls with the condition. The majority of fistulas can be successfully treated with a surgical repair, performed by a competent surgeon who has undergone specialist training and who works with a holistic fistula care team. As well as surgical repair, a critical component of fistula treatment is meticulous postoperative assessment to accurately determine surgical outcomes so that further treatment and support can be provided as required, and the risk substantially reduced of any patient being discharged with associated ongoing problems, such as urinary retention or residual/ongoing incontinence. Based on the opinions of experts in the field, these good practice recommendations provide a practical and standardized protocol for the correct assessment of surgical outcomes following vesicovaginal fistula surgery and appropriate subsequent management.

AbstractWe examine the impact of Hurricane Ian on food retail sales and consumer spending behavior in Florida. We show how shopping patterns evolved before and during the hurricane across 10 food and beverage categories, with significant stockpiling for commercially prepared foods, beverages, and meats/eggs/nuts categories. Using debit card data, we show that card spending peaked at general retail stores 5 days before the hurricane and then shifted to convenience and grocery stores. Our findings highlight the need for better stockpiling guidelines and supply chain solutions during extreme weather events, which are expected to increase due to climate change.

Published: November 2024

AbstractUnderstanding of the correspondence between intervention preference and efficacy is limited. We systematically reviewed 112 articles (457 cases) evaluating efficacy of and preference for behavioral interventions. We analyzed the percentage of cases for whom interventions were preferred and efficacious across broad (e.g., behavior reduction, performance, skill acquisition) and specific (e.g., noncontingent reinforcement, video modeling) intervention types. Authors reported one preferred intervention for most cases. Regarding efficacy, authors reported about half of cases as having one efficacious intervention and the other half having multiple equally efficacious interventions. The same intervention was preferred and efficacious for 74% of cases for whom authors reported one preferred and one efficacious intervention. Several specific interventions were generally preferred and efficacious across cases (e.g., digital stimuli, computer‐based instruction, accumulated reinforcement, contingent reinforcement). We discuss clinical recommendations, the importance of assessing preference, and the need for research in developing protocols for assessing intervention preference.

ABSTRACTBackgroundRestless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder characterized by nocturnally exacerbating pain that leads to significant sleep disturbances. The hormonal and metabolic changes caused by sleep disruption may increase the incidence of muscle‐related diseases like sarcopenia in older adults, which is defined by a progressive loss of muscle strength and mass. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between RLS and sarcopenia, which may affect each other through common pathophysiological pathways in older adults.MethodsThis was a cross‐sectional study including 109 patients with RLS and 220 without RLS who applied to the geriatric clinic. RLS was assessed using the Turkish version of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG). Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People‐2 criteria. All the demographics, comorbid conditions, medications and findings of comprehensive geriatric assessments were recorded. The association between RLS and sarcopenia was examined by logistic regression.ResultsThe mean age was 75 ± 7.4 and 73.8 ± 7 years for the RLS and the control groups, respectively (p > 0.05) and the ratio of females was higher in the RLS group (69.7% vs. 57.9%) (p = 0.035). The frequencies of coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension (HT) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) were significantly higher in RLS patients (p = 0.020, p = 0.047, p = 0.010, respectively), while the prevalence of anaemia was 41% and 25‐OH Vitamin D levels (25[OH]D) were higher than in the control group (p < 0.001). The frequency of probable sarcopenia and sarcopenia was higher in patients with RLS than in controls (20% vs. 11%, p = 0.037 and 8% vs. 2.3%, p = 0.047, respectively). A significant association between RLS and an increased likelihood of probable sarcopenia, sarcopenia and slow gait speed (odds ratio [OR]: 2.621, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.265, 5.431]; OR: 4.542, 95% CI [1.284, 16.071]; OR: 2.663, 95% CI [1.432, 4.951], respectively) was found after adjusting for factors such as gender, HT, CAD, PAD, serum 25(OH)D levels, anaemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and nutritional status. However, the significance of low muscle mass disappeared (p > 0.05).ConclusionThis study demonstrated that sarcopenia is prevalent among older patients with RLS, which seems to be associated with low muscle strength and slow gait speed. Given the negative health outcomes related to sarcopenia, interventions aimed at preventing its development could be significantly beneficial for patients with RLS in older adults as well.

AbstractIntroductionPerspectives on long‐acting injectable cabotegravir/rilpivirine (CAB/RPV‐LA) from HIV health disparity populations are under‐represented in current literature yet crucial to optimize delivery.MethodsBetween August 2022 and May 2023, we conducted in‐depth interviews with people with HIV (PWH) at four HIV clinics in Atlanta, Chicago and San Francisco. Eligibility criteria were current CAB/RPV‐LA use with receipt of ≥3 injections or CAB/RPV‐LA discontinuation. We purposefully sampled for PWH who initiated with viraemia (plasma HIV RNA >50 copies/ml) due to adherence challenges, discontinuers, and cis and trans women. Interviews were coded and analysed using thematic methods grounded in descriptive phenomenology. Clinical data were abstracted from the medical record.ResultsThe sample (San Francisco n = 25, Atlanta n = 20, Chicago n = 14 for total n = 59, median number of injections = 6) consisted of 48 PWH using CAB/RPV‐LA and 11 who had discontinued. The median age was 50 (range 25–73) and 40 (68%) identified as racial/ethnic minorities, 19 (32%) cis or trans women, 16 (29%) were experiencing homelessness/unstable housing, 12 (20%) had recently used methamphetamine or opioids and 11 (19%) initiated with viraemia. All participants except one (who discontinued) had evidence of viral suppression at interview. Typical benefits of CAB/RPV‐LA included increased convenience, privacy and freedom from being reminded of HIV and reduced anxiety about forgetting pills. However, PWH who became virally suppressed through CAB/RPV‐LA use also experienced an amelioration of feelings of shame and negative self‐worth related to oral adherence challenges. Regardless of baseline viral suppression status, successful use of CAB/RPV‐LA amplified positive provider/clinic relationships, and CAB/RPV‐LA was often viewed as less “work” than oral antiretroviral therapy, which created space to attend to other aspects of health and wellness. For some participants, CAB/RPV‐LA remained “work,” particularly with regard to injection site pain and visit frequency. At times, these burdens outweighed the aforementioned benefits, resulting in discontinuation.ConclusionsCAB/RPV‐LA offers a range of logistical, psychosocial and care engagement benefits, which are experienced maximally by PWH initiating with viraemia due to adherence challenges; however, benefits do not always outweigh treatment burdens and can result in discontinuation. Our findings on rationales for persistence versus discontinuation can inform both initial and follow‐up patient counselling.

ObjectivesAdvances in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using ultrasonography (US) and artificial intelligence (AI) aim to replace nerve conduction studies. However, a method for accurate severity diagnosis remains unachieved. We explored the potential of comprehensive video data formats for constructing an effective model for diagnosing CTS severity.MethodsWe studied 75 individuals (52 with CTS) from 2019 to 2022, categorizing them into 3 groups based on disease severity. We recorded 132 US videos of carpal tunnel during finger movement. Features of the median nerve (MN) were extracted from automatically segmented US video frames, from which 3 datasets were created: a comprehensive video dataset with full information, a key metrics dataset, and an initial frame dataset with the least information. We compared the accuracy of machine learning algorithms for classifying CTS severity into 3 groups across these datasets using 63‐fold cross‐validation.ResultsThe cross‐sectional area of the MN correlated with severity (P < .05) but MN displacement did not. The algorithm using the comprehensive video dataset exhibited the highest sensitivity (1.00) and accuracy (0.75).ConclusionsOur study demonstrated that utilizing comprehensive video data enables a more accurate US‐based diagnosis of CTS severity. This underscores the value of capturing the patterns of MN deformation and movement, which cannot be captured by representative metrics such as medians or maximums. By further developing an AI model based on our findings, a simpler and painless method for assessing CTS severity can be achieved.

Published: November 2024

BackgroundThere are two main approaches for nasal septal perforation (NSP) surgery—bilateral and unilateral repair. There are advantages and disadvantages to each of these techniques. At the same time, there is a lack of comparative studies on the effectiveness of these approaches. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of unilateral and bilateral closure of NSP.MethodsA total of 99 patients with symptomatic NSP underwent surgery between 2021 and 2022 and were followed up at two large tertiary centers. The “unilateral closure” group (Group 1, N = 47) utilized an anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) flap to close the perforations. Group 2 (N = 52) consisted of patients, who underwent bilateral closure of NSP.ResultsComplete closure of the NSP was achieved in 39 of 47 (83%) patients in Group 1 and in 48 of 52 (92.3%) patients in Group 2. There was a trend toward a higher incidence of incomplete defect closure among Group 1 patients when analyzing the subgroups of large (>2 cm) NSP (RR = 2.75 [95% CI: 0.96; 7.87], p = 0.072). There was a statistically significant decrease in SNOT‐25 score after surgery in each of the study groups (p < 0.001) with no significant differences between groups (p = 0.51).ConclusionsThe relative advantages of the thin flap are outweighed by the obtained data of higher efficacy of the bilateral technique in large NSP cases. Therefore, in cases of surgical repair of small and medium‐sized NSP, the closure rates after single‐layer and double‐layer closure are comparable.Level of EvidenceIII Laryngoscope, 2024

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTChina has the world's third‐largest area of marsh wetlands that plays a critical role in regional and global carbon cycle. Vegetation gross primary productivity (GPP) is a commonly used indicator of carbon sequestration of wetland ecosystems. Although climate change has significantly changed the marsh GPP, the changes in GPP and climatic effects in the marshes of China remian unclear. Using MODIS GPP and climate data during 2001–2020, this study examined the spatiotemporal changes in marsh GPP and its response to climate change in China. The results indicate that the annual averaged GPP over marshes of China increased significantly (4.56 g C/m2/year), with an average value of 517.39 g C/m2 from 2001 to 2020. Increased annual precipitation significantly enhances the regionally averaged GPP of marshes across China, while mean temperature does not have a significant effect on marsh GPP. Although temperature did not have an obvious effect on the national average GPP, it had a significant effect on the GPP in some marsh regions of China. This study found for the first time the asymmetric influences of daytime and nighttime temperatures on marsh GPP. Specifically, nighttime temperature had a larger positive impact on marsh GPP compared to daytime temperature in China. Increased daytime temperature could decrease annual GPP, while increased nighttime temperature increases the GPP. At a regional scale, the impact of climate change on marsh GPP varies significantly across climate regions. In the Tibetan Plateau marsh region, the increases in annual maximum temperature, annual minimum temperatures, and spring precipitation contribute to the increase in annual marsh GPP. Spatially, the partial correlation results have obvious spatial heterogeneities across China. This study highlights the distinct influences of seasonal climatic change on marsh GPP of different regions and suggests that the asymmetric impacts of day and night temperatures should be fully considered inaccurately simulating and predicting the vegetation productivity in China marsh.
Time‐resolved MR fingerprinting for T2* signal extraction: MR fingerprinting meets echo planar time‐resolved imaging

Published: November 2024

AbstractPurposeThis study leverages the echo planar time‐resolved imaging (EPTI) concept in MR fingerprinting (MRF) framework for a new time‐resolved MRF (TRMRF) approach, and explores its capability for fast simultaneous quantification of multiple MR parameters including T1, T2, T2*, proton density, off resonance, and B1+.MethodsThe proposed TRMRF method uses the concept of EPTI to track the signal change along the EPI echo train for T2* weighting with a k‐t Poisson‐based sampling order designed for acquisition. A two‐dimensional decomposition algorithm was designed for the image reconstruction, enabling fast and precise subspace modeling. The accuracy of proposed method was evaluated by a T1/T2 phantom. The feasibility was demonstrated through 5 healthy volunteer brain studies.ResultsIn the phantom studies, T1, T2, and T2* maps of TRMRF correlated strongly with gold‐standard methods. The concordance correlation coefficients are 0.9999, 0.9984 and 0.9978, and R2s are 0.9998, 0.9971, and 0.9983. In the in vivo studies, quantitative maps were acquired with 5 healthy volunteers. TRMRF was demonstrated to have comparable results with spiral MRF and gradient‐echo EPTI. TRMRF scans using 16, 10, and 6 s per slice were also evaluated to demonstrate the capability of shorter scan times.ConclusionA new approach is proposed to exploit the advantage of EPTI in the MRF framework. We demonstrate in phantom and in vivo experiments that T1, T2, T2*, proton density, off resonance, and B1+ can be simultaneously quantified within 6 s/slice by TRMRF.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThis study investigates the effect of atmospheric plasma activation (APA) treatment on the thermomechanical performance of adhesively bonded skins of composite sandwich panels. The investigations show that APA treatment enhances surface wettability through the water contact angle measurements, and adhesion between the skin and honeycomb core of the panels under mechanical tests. Specifically, APA treatment results in an 11% increase in flatwise tensile strength and a 12% enhancement in the impact strength of the sandwich laminates. Flatwise tensile tests reveal superior tensile strength and toughness in APA‐treated specimens, with fracture patterns suggesting more robust adhesion. Charpy impact test results confirm increased energy absorption, reflecting better mechanical resilience. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) techniques are utilized to validate these findings. Overall, APA treatment proves to be an effective technique for enhancing the performance of composite sandwich panels, offering improved adhesion, strength, and impact resistance. This approach holds significant promise for advancing high‐performance composite materials in various engineering applications.Highlights
APA treatment enhances wettability and adhesion in sandwich panels.
Improved adhesive distribution between skin‐core after sandwich manufacturing.
11% increase in tensile strength and 12% in impact strength with APA.
Better toughness and energy absorption via SEM and DMA support in APA.
Regulation of Appropriate Prompts for Users in Text‐Based Generative Artificial Intelligence Programs

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe principle of transparency is of great significance in the governance of text‐based generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The principle of transparency not only requires the operational principles and algorithms of text‐based generative artificial intelligence to be interpretable, but also requires text‐based generative artificial intelligence programs to fulfill basic prompting obligations to users, especially when it comes to the output content of generative artificial intelligence, which cannot guarantee true and accurate prompts.AimsThe purpose of this study is to explore the classification and frequency of prompt methods in text‐based generative artificial intelligence and to propose that laws should require different prompt rules for various user categories, addressing the current gap in existing regulations.MethodsThe experiment is conducted from June 1 to 15, 2024 in the school, scientific research company, media organization hall, and railway station lounge, and Kimi program, Tongyi program, ERNIE Bot program, iFLYTEK Spark program, etc., are used as text‐based generative AI programs.DiscussionThe results show that users aged 8‐17 who are minors only have 6 points in their perception of the authenticity of the output content of generative artificial intelligence programs; the level of awareness of possible falsity during use reaches 4 points; the degree of user misleading is as high as 13 points.ConclusionThe study concludes that, for individuals needing special protection, such as minors, prompts should accompany every instance of content generation. For other user groups, prompts should be issued when necessary. To enhance prompt effectiveness, the program should display permanent prompts in prominent positions on the interface, using noticeable fonts and clear, well‐designed wording. Research reveals that minors have insufficient perception of the authenticity of the output content of generative artificial intelligence, and the risk of misleading is significant, highlighting the importance of clear prompts for this specific group every time they generate content.
Are we language teacher educators? Using linguistic cartography to support teacher identity development around language
Authors: Leider Christine Montecillo , Dobbs Christina L. , Galloway Emily Phillips 
Published: November 2024

AbstractAs university teacher educators in the United States, the three authors prepare teacher candidates (TCs) who will be working with culturally and linguistically diverse learners (CLDLs) in a range of classrooms at various levels and focused on various disciplines. The authors argue that all TCs will be language teachers, in that they will teach CLDLs and use language to teach content and, in this article, the authors discuss tensions in their own professional identities that arise when teaching TCs to work with CLDLs. Specifically, the authors use Self‐Study of Teacher Education Practices (S‐STEP, Vanassche & Kelchtermans, 2015) to explore how a language mapping activity, linguistic cartography (Phillips Galloway et al., 2022), initially designed to support TCs to examine links between their personal idiolect and identities, has impacted how they understand their own identities and development as teacher educators.
Analysis of thermomechanical responses of functionally graded unbounded materials using an advanced dual‐phase delay heat transfer model with higher‐order fractional derivatives
Authors: Alsaeed Salman S. , Abouelregal Ahmed E. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe present article provides a theoretical investigation into the thermoelastic behavior of functionally graded materials (FGMs) using modified thermoelastic conduction models. These enhanced models have potential applications in various engineering fields, including aerospace, pressure vessels, and structural engineering. The research delves into examining a thermoelastic scenario concerning an infinite FGM with a spherical cavity exposed to thermal shock. This analysis is framed within the dual‐phase‐lag (DPL) thermoelasticity theory and incorporates higher‐order fractional derivatives. The analysis employs the Laplace transform method to address the problem, utilizing the Taylor series expansion of higher‐order fractional derivatives as proposed by Caputo and Fabrizio. This approach enables advanced approximations of heat flux, temperature gradients, and thermal displacements. The study assumes that the thermal and mechanical properties of the FGM vary as a power function of the radial coordinate. The results are presented graphically, showing temperature distributions, stress fields, and displacement profiles. Additionally, the study explores how variations in the gradation parameter and the coefficient of fractional derivatives impact the thermoelastic behavior of the material.
