Comparative proteomics of stenotopic caddisfly Crunoecia irrorata identifies acclimation strategies to warming
Authors: Ebner Joshua N. , Ritz Danilo , von Fumetti Stefanie 
Published: September 2019

AbstractSpecies' ecological preferences are often deduced from habitat characteristics thought to represent more or less optimal conditions for physiological functioning. Evolution has led to stenotopic and eurytopic species, the former having decreased niche breadths and lower tolerances to environmental variability. Species inhabiting freshwater springs are often described as being stenotopic specialists, adapted to the stable thermal conditions found in these habitats. Whether due to past local adaptation these species have evolved or have lost intra‐generational adaptive mechanisms to cope with increasing thermal variability has, to our knowledge, never been investigated. By studying how the proteome of a stenotopic species changes as a result of increasing temperatures, we investigate if the absence or attenuation of molecular mechanisms is indicative of local adaptation to freshwater springs. An understanding of compensatory mechanisms is especially relevant as spring specialists will experience thermal conditions beyond their physiological limits due to climate change. In this study, the stenotopic species Crunoecia irrorata (Trichoptera: Lepidostomatidae, Curtis 1834) was acclimated to 10, 15 and 20°C for 168 hr. We constructed a homology‐based database and via liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS)‐based shotgun proteomics identified 1,358 proteins. Differentially abundant proteins and protein norms of reaction revealed candidate proteins and molecular mechanisms facilitating compensatory responses such as trehalose metabolism, tracheal system alteration and heat‐shock protein regulation. A species‐specific understanding of compensatory physiologies challenges the characterization of species as having narrow tolerances to environmental variability if that characterization is based on occurrences and habitat characteristics alone.
Medical assistance in dying: A political issue for nurses and nursing in Canada
Authors: Banner Davina , Schiller Catharine J. , Freeman Shannon 
Published: September 2019

AbstractDeath and dying are natural phenomena embedded within complex political, cultural and social systems. Nurses often practice at the forefront of this process and have a fundamental role in caring for both patients and those close to them during the process of dying and following death. While nursing has a rich tradition in advancing the palliative and end‐of‐life care movement, new modes of care for patients with serious and irremediable medical conditions arise when assisted death is legalized in a particular jurisdiction. In early 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada released its landmark decision Carter v. Canada (Attorney General) (‘Carter’), which legalized physician‐assisted suicide in particular clinical situations. The new law provided the broad national framework for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Canada but, once the law was passed, provincial and territorial governments and health professional regulatory bodies each had to undertake a process of developing policies, procedures and processes to guide MAiD‐related practice specific to their jurisdiction. In this paper, we begin to examine the political ramifications and professional tensions arising from MAiD for nurses and nursing, focusing specifically upon the impacts for registered nurses. We identify how variations in the provincial and territorial literature and regulatory guidelines across Canada have given rise to role confusion and uncertainty among some registered nurses and how this may potentially impact patient care. We then continue to highlight the need for greater political activism among nurses to foster greater clarity in nursing roles in MAiD and to advocate for improved supports for patients and those close to them.
Plasmid evolution in carbapenemase‐producing Enterobacteriaceae: a review
Authors: Kopotsa Katlego , Osei Sekyere John , Mbelle Nontombi Marylucy 
Published: August 2019

AbstractCarbapenem‐resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have been listed by the WHO as high‐priority pathogens owing to their high association with mortalities and morbidities. Resistance to multiple β‐lactams complicates effective clinical management of CRE infections. Using plasmid typing methods, a wide distribution of plasmid replicon groups has been reported in CREs around the world, including IncF, N, X, A/C, L/M, R, P, H, I, and W. We performed a literature search for English research papers, published between 2013 and 2018, reporting on plasmid‐mediated carbapenem resistance. A rise in both carbapenemase types and associated plasmid replicon groups was seen, with China, Canada, and the United States recording a higher increase than other countries. blaKPC was the most prevalent, except in Angola and the Czech Republic, where OXA‐181 (n = 50, 88%) and OXA‐48–like (n = 24, 44%) carbapenemases were most prevalent, respectively; blaKPC‐2/3 accounted for 70% (n = 956) of all reported carbapenemases. IncF plasmids were found to be responsible for disseminating different antibiotic resistance genes worldwide, accounting for almost 40% (n = 254) of plasmid‐borne carbapenemases. blaCTX‐M, blaTEM, blaSHV, blaOXA‐1/9, qnr, and aac‐(6′)‐lb were mostly detected concurrently with carbapenemases. Most reported plasmids were conjugative but not present in multiple countries or species, suggesting limited interspecies and interboundary transmission of a common plasmid. A major limitation to effective characterization of plasmid evolution was the use of PCR‐based instead of whole‐plasmid sequencing–based plasmid typing.
Assessment of readability and content of patient‐initiated google search results for epidermolysis bullosa

Published: August 2019

AbstractEpidermolysis bullosa describes a group of conditions commonly characterized by fragile skin and blistering of the mucosal membranes. Due to the complex and rare nature of the disease, we sought to evaluate the quality and readability of epidermolysis bullosa information available online. Analysis of the top 50 search results on Google demonstrated that information by non‐dermatologists was of a lower reading level and more accessible when compared to information by dermatologists, even though dermatologist written information was more likely to be useful and medically comprehensive. There is an increasing need for dermatologists to provide useful and medically comprehensive EB information that is accessible to patients and patient families.

Published: August 2019

AbstractBackgroundHypotonic maintenance i.v. fluids (IVF) pose a higher risk of hyponatremia than isotonic maintenance IVF, but isotonic maintenance IVF can result in excess sodium (Na) load in children. This study analyzed the incidence and risk factors for hyponatremia in children given hypotonic fluids with different Na concentrations and different maintenance rates.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis using medical charts of children aged 3 months–15 years. The children were normonatremic (Na ≥135 mmol/L and <145 mmol/L) before IVF, and given IVF containing 35 mmol/L Na at a 100% maintenance rate (Na 35) or fluids containing 84 mmol/L Na at a 70% maintenance rate (Na 84) for 24–48 h.ResultsOf a total of 463 children, hyponatremia (Na <135 mmol/L) occurred in 46/275 children (17%) given Na 35, and 16/188 (9%) given Na 84 (P = 0.01). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, Na 35 (OR, 2.19; 95%CI: 1.04–4.62), low clinical dehydration scale (CDS) score before IVF (OR, 0.17; 95%CI: 0.06‐0.49), and high body temperature 24–48 h after maintenance IVF (OR, 2.39; 95%CI: 1.79–3.18) were independent risk factors for hyponatremia.ConclusionsMaintenance IVF with low Na concentration at a 100% maintenance rate, low CDS before IVF, and a high body temperature 24–48 h after maintenance IVF are independent risk factors for hyponatremia.

AbstractObjectiveThis study explored experiences Norwegian public health nurses (PHNs) have with using interventions from the Public Health Intervention Wheel (PHIW).Design and SampleThe researchers used both quantitative and qualitative measures to explore how Norwegian PHNs use PHIW interventions in their practice. Data were gathered from six focus group meetings with 15 school and 16 family health nurses in Norway.MethodInstruments included: (a) demographic data form, (b) the Public Health Intervention Questionnaire developed by the researchers, and (c) focus group questions.ResultsFollowing discussion of PHIW interventions in focus groups, PHNs reported they had a clearer understanding of each intervention and they had performed activities in their practice consistent with each of the Wheel interventions.ConclusionDescriptions of the Wheel interventions provided the PHNs with the terminology and language to identify and explain their work in public health nursing practice. Although there are some differences between the United States and Norway in the structure of public health nursing practice, the PHIW is a framework that is applicable to the work of PHNs in Norway.

Published: August 2019

AbstractBackgroundBisphenol A (BPA) is a non‐persistent endocrine‐disrupting chemical with nearly ubiquitous, involuntary exposure. Previous studies have shown that BPA causes reproductive dysfunction in animal models, but there are limited data regarding the effects of BPA exposure on time to pregnancy (TTP) in humans.ObjectiveTo evaluate whether peri‐conceptional BPA exposure of women and men is associated with couples’ TTP.MethodsA total of 164 heterosexual couples (164 women; 163 men) who have available BPA information as well as time to pregnancy from the Home Observation of Peri‐conceptional Exposures (HOPE) Study were included and were followed up to 12 months. Women collected first‐morning urine samples starting at the beginning of the fertile window and continued until the onset of menses or 18 days after the estimated day of ovulation (EDO+18 days). The time to pregnancy (TTP) after the enrolment was self‐reported and used for the analysis. Discrete‐time Cox proportional hazards models were performed to generate fecundability odds ratio (FOR) between BPA and TTP after adjusting for education and age, accounting for right censoring and prior number of cycles trying to conceive.ResultsAmong 164 couples, 125 couples became pregnant during the study. There was no association between TTP and peri‐conceptional BPA exposure for both men (FOR 1.02, 95% CI 0.72, 1.47) and women (FOR 1.07, 95% CI 0.75, 1.53) after adjusting for education and age.ConclusionsNo association was found between peri‐conceptional BPA exposure and fecundability in this preconception cohort of relatively young, healthy pregnancy planners.

ObjectiveThe aim of this multicenter study was to investigate the differences in personality traits, particularly Neuroticism, in three clinical samples and three student samples in Austria and Italy and their impact on suicide.MethodsIn total, 1,043 people (410 psychiatric inpatients and 633 university students) were tested in three regions of Europe: central Italy, northeast Italy, and eastern Austria. Psychiatric diagnoses were evaluated using the Mini‐International Neuropsychiatric Interview, and the following instruments were used: Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Columbia‐Suicide Severity Rating Scale‐B, Symptom‐Checklist‐90‐Standard, and Big Five Inventory.ResultsThe study found that the intensity of Suicidal Ideation was associated with the personality traits of Neuroticism, Anxiety, and Extraversion but also with Depression.ConclusionsIn conclusion, without the presence of Depression symptoms, neuroticism was a protective factor against Suicidal Ideation, whereas neuroticism when comorbid with Depression symptoms increased suicide risk in psychiatric patients. In all three regions, the clinical samples had higher scores for Neuroticism and for Depression symptoms than the student sample and consequently higher scores for Suicide. Furthermore, we demonstrated an interaction between gender and culture on personality traits, supporting the hypothesis that the distribution of self‐reported personality traits is organized geographically.
Feature‐assisted stereo correlation
Authors: Thiruselvam N. Iniyan , Subramanian Sankara J. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractStereo correlation in digital image correlation (DIC) involves an optimisation problem that is sensitive to initial guess. In practice, this problem is circumvented by manually selecting a pair of points in the two stereo images that guarantees convergence and provides stereo mapping parameter estimates that are used as initial guesses at neighbouring subsets. However, such an approach is not always feasible, especially in the presence of substantial perspective distortions, for example, due to large stereo angles or complexities in specimen geometry. Therefore, it is desirable to provide high‐quality independent initial estimates over the entire region of interest. Recently, SIFT has been used for this purpose, but it fails when perspective distortions are severe. In this work, we investigate seven other feature‐based matching techniques to address this gap. Among these, DeepFlow algorithm provides the highest quality and most spatially uniform initial estimates. Further, we use DeepFlow estimates as initial guesses in a conventional stereo optimisation to compute geometry measures of a specimen in DIC challenge dataset. These geometry measures show excellent agreement with ground truth, further supporting the choice of DeepFlow in stereo correlation.
Phylogeny, character evolution and tribal classification in Crambinae and Scopariinae (Lepidoptera, Crambidae)
Authors: Léger Théo , Landry Bernard , Nuss Matthias 
Published: September 2019

AbstractCrambinae (2047 spp.) and Scopariinae (577 spp.) are two major groups of pyraloid moths with a worldwide distribution. Their larvae feed predominantly on Poales and Bryophyta, with many cereal crop pests. We present the first molecular phylogeny of the two groups based on five nuclear genes and one mitochondrial gene (total = 4713 bp) sampled for 58 crambine species representing 56 genera and all tribes, 33 scopariine species representing 12 genera, and species in several other crambid lineages. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of the molecular data resolve suprageneric relationships in Crambinae and Scopariinae, whereas relationships between these and other subfamilies remain ambiguous. Crambinae and Scopariinae are each recovered as monophyletic groups, and Erupini, formerly regarded as an ingroup of Midilinae, is recovered as a possible sister group of Crambinae. The tree topology suggests the following two major changes within Crambinae: Prionapterygini Landry syn.n. of Ancylolomiini Ragonot stat. rev. and Myelobiini Minet syn.n. of Chiloini Heinemann. Argyriini Munroe is monophyletic after the transfer of Pseudocatharylla Bleszynski and Vaxi Bleszynski to Calamotrophini. Crambini, Diptychophorini and Haimbachiini are monophyletic after the exclusion of Ancylolomia Hübner, Euchromius Guenée, Micrelephas Dognin and Miyakea Marumo from Crambini, as well as Microchilo Okano from Diptychophorini. Euchromiini tribe n. is described for Euchromius. Microcramboides Bleszynski syn.n. and Tortriculladia Bleszynski syn.n. are synonymized with Microcrambus Bleszynski. In Scopariinae, Caradjaina Leraut syn.n. and Cholius Guenée syn.n. are synonymized with Scoparia Haworth, and, in addition, Dasyscopa Meyrick syn.n., Dipleurinodes Leraut syn.n. and Eudipleurina Leraut syn.n. are synonymized with Eudonia Billberg. Micraglossa melanoxantha (Turner) (Scoparia) comb.n. is proposed as a new combination. We analysed 27 morphological characters of wing venation, tympanal organs, male and female genitalia, as well as host plant data and egg‐laying behaviour. The ancestral character‐state reconstructions confirmed previous apomorphies and highlighted new apomorphies for some of the newly recovered clades. The derived, nonadhesive egg‐dropping behaviour is found to have evolved at least twice in Crambinae and is associated with the use of Pooideae as host plants.This published work has been registered in ZooBank, http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:1A84282D‐930A‐4C32‐8340‐D681BFF27A12.
Performance evaluation and validation of the Animal Trauma Triage score and modified Glasgow Coma Scale in injured cats: A Veterinary Committee on Trauma registry study

Published: August 2019

AbstractObjectivesTo examine the Animal Trauma Triage (ATT) and modified Glasgow Coma Scale (mGCS) scores as predictors of mortality in injured cats.DesignObservational cohort study conducted September 2013 to March 2015.SettingNine Level I and II veterinary trauma centers.AnimalsConsecutive sample of 711 cats reported on the Veterinary Committee on Trauma (VetCOT) case registry.InterventionsNone.Measurements and Main ResultsWe compared the predictive power (area under receiver operating characteristic curve; AUROC) and calibration of the ATT and mGCS scores to their components. Overall mortality risk was 16.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.9‐19.4). Head trauma prevalence was 11.8% (n = 84). The ATT score showed a linear relationship with mortality risk. Discriminatory performance of the ATT score was excellent (AUROC = 0.87 [95% CI, 0.84‐0.90]). Each ATT score increase of 1 point was associated with an increase in mortality odds of 1.78 (95% CI, 1.61‐1.97, P < 0.001). The eye/muscle/integument category of the ATT showed the lowest discrimination (AUROC = 0.60). When this component, skeletal, and cardiac components were omitted from score calculation, there was no loss in discriminatory capacity compared with the full score (AUROC = 0.86 vs 0.87, respectively, P = 0.66). The mGCS showed fair performance overall for prediction of mortality, but the point estimate of performance improved when restricted to head trauma patients (AUROC = 0.75, 95% CI, 0.70‐0.80 vs AUROC = 0.80, 95% CI, 0.70‐0.90). The motor component of the mGCS showed the best predictive performance (AUROC = 0.71); however, the full score performed better than the motor component alone (P = 0.004). When assessment was restricted to patients with head injury (n = 84), there was no difference in performance between the ATT and mGCS scores (AUROC = 0.82 vs 0.80, P = 0.67).ConclusionOn a large, multicenter dataset of feline trauma patients, the ATT score showed excellent discrimination and calibration for predicting mortality; however, an abbreviated score calculated from the perfusion, respiratory, and neurologic categories showed equivalent performance.
Origins and relationships of the Pleuronectoidei: Molecular and morphological analysis of living and fossil taxa

Published: August 2019

AbstractFlatfishes (Pleuronectiformes) are a species‐rich and distinct group of fishes characterized by cranial asymmetry. Flatfishes occupy a wide diversity of habitats, including the tropical deep‐sea and freshwaters, and often are small‐bodied fishes. Most scientific effort, however, has been focused on large‐bodied temperate marine species important in fisheries. Phylogenetic study of flatfishes has also long been limited in scope and focused on the placement and monophyly of flatfishes. As a result, several questions in systematic biology have persisted that molecular phylogenetic study can answer. We examine the Pleuronectoidei, the largest suborder of Pleuronectiformes with >99% of species diversity of the order, in detail with a multilocus nuclear and mitochondrial data set of 57 pleuronectoids from 13 families covering a wide range of habitats. We combine the molecular data with a morphological matrix to construct a total evidence phylogeny that places fossil flatfishes among extant lineages. Utilizing a time‐calibrated phylogeny, we examine the timing of diversification, area of origin and ancestral temperature preference of Pleuronectoidei. We find polyphyly or paraphyly of two flatfish families, the Paralichthyidae and the Rhombosoleidae, and support the creation of two additional families—Cyclopsettidae and Oncopteridae—to resolve their non‐monophyletic status. Our findings also support the distinctiveness of Paralichthodidae and refine the placement of that lineage. Despite a core fossil record in Europe, the observed recent diversity of pleuronectoids in the Indo‐West Pacific is most likely a result of the Indo‐West Pacific being the area of origin for pleuronectoids and the ancestral temperature preference of flatfishes is most likely tropical.
Research and Field Application of the Axial-Torsional Coupled Percussion Drilling Technology

Published: September 2019

Abstract
Enhancing the rate of penetration (ROP) is one of the goals pursued by the oil and gas drilling industry. It has been proved that percussion drilling is a feasible method to increase drilling efficiency. However, single percussion drilling technology (axial percussion or torsional percussion) cannot cater to the current needs. This paper proposed a new technology/tool called the axial-torsional coupled percussion drilling, which can use the advantages of the percussion drilling in a better way. Mechanical structure and working principle of this tool were first introduced in detail and the theoretical analysis of the impact force and the impact frequency were then conducted. It was found that both the axial impact force and the torsional impact force are in direct proportion to the fluid density and are in direct proportion to the square of the pump rate. Both the axial impact frequency and the torsional impact frequency are in direct proportion to the pump rate and are in direct proportion to the square root of the fluid density. Subsequently, a laboratory experiment was conducted to verify the above theoretical results. The tools were applied to the oil field in Xin Jiang province, China. Field application results indicate that the penetration rate of the test well is averagely 1.6–3.3 times as fast as that of the adjacent well.
