Superconductivity in the pressurized nickelate La3Ni2O7 in the vicinity of a BEC–BCS crossover
Authors: Schlömer Henning , Schollwöck Ulrich , Grusdt Fabian , Bohrdt Annabelle 
Published: November 2024

AbstractEver since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates, gaining microscopic insights into the nature of pairing in strongly correlated systems has remained one of the greatest challenges in modern condensed matter physics. Following recent experiments reporting superconductivity in the bilayer nickelate La3Ni2O7 (LNO) with remarkably high critical temperatures of Tc = 80 K, it has been argued that the low-energy physics of LNO can be described by the strongly correlated, mixed-dimensional bilayer t–J model. Here we investigate this bilayer system and utilize density matrix renormalization group techniques to establish a thorough understanding of the model and the magnetically induced pairing through comparison to the perturbative limit of dominating inter-layer spin couplings. In particular, this allows us to explain appearing finite-size effects, firmly establishing the existence of long-range superconducting order in the thermodynamic limit. By analyzing binding energies, we predict a BEC–BCS crossover as a function of the Hamiltonian parameters. We find large binding energies of the order of the inter-layer coupling that suggest strikingly high critical temperatures of the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition, raising the question of whether (mixD) bilayer superconductors possibly facilitate critical temperatures above room temperature.

AbstractSalt marshes are among the most efficient blue carbon sinks worldwide. The fate of this carbon is uncertain due to limited knowledge about organic matter (OM) decomposition processes under sea-level rise. In an in-situ manipulative experiment, we compared salt marsh OM decomposition and quality across simulated sea-level scenarios (by modifying the inundation) and litter types (absorptive root, fine transportive root, leaves, and rhizomes of Halimione portulacoide) for 170 days. The litter decomposition varied only between the inundation treatments with the longest and shortest durations, while the decomposition differed significantly across litter types, with absorptive roots releasing up to 40% less carbon than other litters. Changes in lignin composition were minimal for absorptive roots and were unaffected by sea-level rise scenarios. Our study suggests that (i) current projections of sea-level rise are unlikely to decrease litter decomposition; (ii) separating litter types might lead to better assessments of salt marshes’ OM dynamics.

AbstractSea level rise affects the long-term psychological health of coastal communities. However, research on long-term and seasonal impacts on vulnerable communities’ psychological health is limited. Here, we explore the effect of sea-level rise on the psychological health of the coastal population in Satkhira and Khulna districts of southwest Bangladesh across two seasons: before monsoon (March to April) and post-monsoon months (October to November) in 2021. We leveraged the longitudinal research that involved 1144 participants. We collected data on psychological health using established scales for distress, depression, anxiety, and stress and also measured environmental factors and resource losses. Results indicate that psychological health, particularly distress, depression, anxiety, and stress, increased during the post-monsoon months in communities more vulnerable to sea-level rise. Highly vulnerable communities showed increased psychological distress post-monsoon. Environmental stressors and resource loss escalated during the post-monsoon period, especially in moderate and highly vulnerable communities. Our findings emphasize the urgent need for targeted support and resilience-building interventions in affected communities to alleviate the psychological health impacts of sea-level rise.
The 4A climate action framework
Authors: Sattar Usman 
Published: November 2024

AbstractClimate action under the Paris Agreement (PA) requires a strategic approach that addresses the climate action needs of the participating countries. The most relevant documents for identifying such needs are the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) submitted by the parties to the PA. Academia has paid insufficient attention to this dataset and has attempted to clarify climate action pathways by utilizing various established theories from different fields. As a result, a strategic framework for global climate action is lacking. This article examines the NDCs of 19 lower-middle-income countries (LMICs) to consolidate their climate action needs into a cohesive framework. A grounded theory approach with process coding techniques is employed, and the data are analyzed through three coding cycles: initial process coding, focused process coding, and conceptual process coding. The results suggest a 4 A cyclic process: assess, arrange, access, and action, which forms an integrated global response to climate change.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that reliable risk assessment of venues is still challenging and resulted in the indiscriminate closure of many venues worldwide. Therefore, this study used an experimental, numerical and analytical approach to investigate the airborne transmission risk potential of differently ventilated, sized and shaped venues. The data were used to assess the magnitude of effect of various mitigation measures and to develop recommendations. Here we show that, in general, positions in the near field of an emission source were at high risk, while the risk of infection from positions in the far field varied depending on the ventilation strategy. Occupancy, airflow rate, residence time, virus variants, activity level and face masks affected the individual and global infection risk in all venues. The global infection risk was lowest for the displacement ventilation case, making it the most effective ventilation strategy for keeping airborne transmission and the number of secondary cases low, compared to mixing or natural ventilation.

Published: November 2024

AbstractDiffusive memristors owing to their ability to produce current spiking when a constant or slowly changing voltage is applied are competitive candidates for development of artificial electronic neurons. These artificial neurons can be integrated into various prospective autonomous and robotic systems as sensors, e.g. ones implementing object grasping and classification. We report here Ag nanoparticle-based diffusive memristor prepared on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate substrate in which the electric spiking behaviour was induced by the electric voltage under an additional stimulus of external mechanical impact. By changing the magnitude and frequency of the mechanical impact, we are able to manipulate the spiking response of our artificial neuron. This functionality to control the spiking characteristics paves a pathway for the development of touch-perception sensors that can convert local pressure into electrical spikes for further processing in neural networks. We have proposed a mathematical model which captures the operation principle of the fabricated memristive sensors and qualitatively describes the measured spiking behaviour. Employing such flexible diffusive memristors that can directly translate tactile information into spikes, similar to force and pressure sensors, could offer substantial benefits for various applications in robotics.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Objectives We evaluated and compared early postprocedural and midterm incidence and evolution of atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction disorders following rapid deployment aortic valve replacement (RDAVR) and conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR).
Materials and Methods One hundred and forty-seven patients who underwent isolated rapid deployment AVR between 2017 and 2021 as well as 128 patients after conventional biological AVR in the same period were included in this study. ECGs recorded at baseline, discharge, and 12 months were retrospectively analyzed. Intrinsic rhythm, PQ interval, QRS duration, and atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction were evaluated and compared between both groups.
Results Patients in both groups had comparable Society of Thoracic surgeons risc (STS) scores (2.9 ± 1.6 vs. 3.1 ± 2.2, p = 0.32) and comparable baseline characteristics. The mean age was 73.4 ± 5.7 years in the RDAVR group and 74.2 ± 5.9 years in the AVR group, respectively. At baseline, the mean QRS width was 95.7 ± 25.5 ms in the RDAVR group, and 97.3 ± 23.5 ms in the AVR group, respectively (p = 0.590). At discharge, the mean QRS width in the RDAVR group was significantly increased with 117.4 ± 28.6 ms and a mean ΔQRS width of 21.7 ± 26.3 ms (p < 0.001) compared with baseline. No significant changes in QRS width were found in the AVR group with a mean value of 101.2 ± 24.1 ms and a mean ΔQRS width of 3.9 ± 23.9 ms at discharge (p = 0.193). The left bundle branch block (LBBB) was increased in the RDAVR group after 12 months (19.3% vs. 5.1%, p < 0.001). Permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) rates were significantly higher in the RDAVR group after 12 months (hazard ratio (HR): 4.68; 95% CI: 2.23–7.43, p < 0.001). Mortality did not differ between both groups after 12 months (HR: 1.09; 95% CI: 0.46–1.83, p = 0.835)
Conclusion Patients after RDAVR showed significantly higher rates of LBBB and PPI after 12 months. However, higher mortality was not observed in the RDAVR group.

AbstractBleeding complications associated with oral anticoagulant (OAC) frequently lead to emergency department visits and hospitalization. Short-term all-cause mortality after severe bleeding is substantial ranging from approximately 10% for gastrointestinal bleeding (the most frequent single site) to approximately 50% for intracranial bleeding. A protocol for multidisciplinary approach to bleeding is needed to (i) ensure rapid identification of patients at risk of adverse outcomes, (ii) optimize delivery of supportive measures, (iii) treat the source of bleeding, and (iv) administer anticoagulant reversal or hemostatic therapies judiciously for patients most likely to benefit. We convened a multidisciplinary panel of experts (emergency medicine, gastroenterology, general internal medicine, hematology, neurology, pharmacy, thrombosis) to review the literature and provide practical guidance including a corresponding algorithm for use at the point of care to assist clinicians in the management of patients with acute severe OAC-related bleeding.

Published: November 2024

AbstractWe report on our progress towards the synthesis of the exotic, delicate, and tense polyketidic macrolactam of incednine. This work constitutes a significant advancement towards the total synthesis of a family of molecules of biological and medicinal interest. Some of the key features of this synthesis required evolutions from the initially designed strategy, leading to the use of a Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons olefination to build the C2–C9 tetraene. For this purpose, a polyfunctionalized phosphonate was used that was obtained through an unprecedented Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling involving the zinc salt of diethyl methylphosphonate. The resulting desired C1–C15 fragment displays a carboxylic acid ester at C1 and a vinyl iodide at C15, both functions being ready for subsequent amide coupling with the C16–C23 fragment and final Suzuki cyclization, respectively.
A Photocatalytic C(sp)–B Bond Formation Employing SOMOphilic Alkynyl Sulfones and Nucleophilic Boryl Radicals

Published: November 2024

AbstractAlkynylboron compounds are important scaffolds with broad applicability in organic synthesis. In contrast to polar or metal-catalyzed processes, here a radical approach is employed for the addition of nucleophilic boryl radicals to electrophilic SOMOphiles for the construction of the C(sp)–B bond. The reaction renders the corresponding alkynylated amine boranes with broad functional group compatibility. In addition, theoretical studies have been carried out by means of DFT to understand the reactivity and selectivity of the addition process.
Arthroscopic Management of an Extremely Rare Wrist Fracture-Dislocation Pattern
Authors: Corella Fernando , Ocampos Montserrat , Collado Carlos , Laredo Rafael 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background Axial dislocation involves the displacement of carpal bones along the longitudinal axis of the wrist joint. There are three major groups: (1) axial ulnar, (2) axial radial, and (3) combined. On the other hand, radiocarpal dislocation entails disruption of the articulation between the radius and carpal bones. There are two groups: (group 1) it is either a pure radiocarpal dislocation or a minor avulsion of the radial styloid and (group 2) a fracture-dislocations characterized by a significant radial styloid fragment.
Case Description The patient, a 66-year-old female involved in a car accident, underwent imaging studies and arthroscopic exploration, revealing a transcapitate perihamate translunate fracture-dislocation, associated with a radiocarpal dislocation type 1. Arthroscopic treatment was performed through common dorsal radiocarpal and midcarpal portals, along with the volar radial portal. Anatomical reduction of the joints and fractures was achieved under arthroscopic control, along with suturing of the volar radiocarpal ligaments.
Literature Review The simultaneous occurrence of axial dislocation and radiocarpal dislocation, as observed in our case, is exceedingly rare and lacks comprehensive documentation in the existing literature. Furthermore, the specific type of axial dislocation (transcapitate perihamate translunate) has not been previously reported.Various treatment approaches, including closed reduction, open reduction, and external fixation, have been described for these types of complex pathologies, but few reports describe their arthroscopy management.
Clinical Relevance This case report describes a rare occurrence of axial ulnar dislocation associated with radiocarpal dislocation of the wrist, which is exceptionally uncommon and not reported previously in the literature. This arthroscopic approach yielded excellent results, avoiding the need for multiple open approaches to address several fractures and ligament injuries.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background There are increased efforts to promote gender diversity in skull base specialties.
Aims/Objectives This study seeks to evaluate changes within neurotology, rhinology, and skull base neurosurgery (SBNS) over the past decade.
Methods Information regarding fellows training in the past 10 years, current faculty members and fellowship directors, and grants and awards were extracted from the American Neurotology Society, American Rhinologic Society, and North American Skull Base Society Web sites, tabulated, and summarized. Chi-square analysis compared the proportional makeup of female fellows within related fields.
Results In the past decade in neurotology, men constituted 89 of 128 (69.53%) fellows, 132 of 170 (77.64%) faculty members, and 25 of 29 (86.2%) fellowship directors. Within rhinology, men constituted 211 of 279 (75.63%) fellows, 113 of 141 (80.14%) faculty members, and 32 of 35 (91.4%) fellowship directors. In SBNS programs, men constituted 94 of 105 (90%) fellows, 120 of 133 (90%) faculty members, and 43 of 44 (97.73%) fellowship directors. In neurotology fellowships, the proportion of women increased (12%, p = 0.06) from 2012–2017 to 2018–2022. Similarly, SBNS and rhinology had statistically insignificant increases of 4.28% (p = 0.86) and 8.70% (p = 0.87).
Conclusion The representation of women is consistent across all three skull base specialties. Although the overall number of women in each field is increasing, it changes slowly.
Significance The gender makeup across all three skull base specialties is similar.
Vascular Labeling of Extracranial Head and Neck Vessels Using Silicone Dye Injection: An Effective Method for Cadaver-Based Facial Surgery Training
Authors: Tiwari Raja , Dhingra Renu , Lalwani Sanjeev , Singhal Maneesh 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background Silicone dye injection is a well-described technique for studying vascular anatomy. Plastic surgeons routinely participate in cadaveric workshops and are involved in the preparation of vascular-labeled cadavers. However, sparse literature is available on dye studies of extracranial head and neck vessels, even with anatomists, and the preparation of these cadavers is a daunting task.
Materials and Methods In this study, we describe a straightforward technique of silicone dye injection for extracranial head and neck vasculature and its application for filler injection training and other plastic surgical procedure demonstrations on cadavers. We used six soft-embalmed cadavers. The common carotid arteries and internal jugular veins were cannulated with infant feeding tubes. The vessels that could lead to dye extravasation into intracranial vessels and upper limbs were ligated. The vasculature was irrigated with water and then injected with color-coded silicone dyes (red: arterial; blue: venous). The solvent-to-catalyst ratios were varied to identify the ideal combination. Injected specimens were dissected 24 hours later to identify the staining quality.
Results A clear demarcation of the extracranial head and neck vasculature in all cadavers was seen. The best solvent-to-catalyst ratio was identified in cadavers with the best staining of both large and small-sized blood vessels (<1 mm) with no dye spillage from arteries to the veins.
Conclusion Silicone dye injection with the described technique can give excellent and predictable results. The technique also uses less quantity of dye, and the intracranial structures are spared, which can be used for other studies; hence, there is more economical utilization of cadavers.
Treatment of Chronic Scapholunate Dissociation with FCR Tenodesis: A Systematic Review of the Results of MBT and 3LT Technique
Authors: Goeminne Sofie , Stroobants Eline , van Beek Nathalie 
Published: November 2024

AbstractA systematic literature review was performed to assess the results of modified Brunelli tenodesis modified Brunelli technique (MBT) and three-ligament tenodesis (3LT) in the treatment of chronic scapholunate (SL) ligament injuries reported between 1998 and 2001. This review describes the surgical techniques, clinical outcomes, radiological evaluations, and complication rates among 600 patients. Following adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, 15 studies were included (289 MBT and 311 3LT procedures). A heterogeneity in surgical technique was noted. An average pain reduction of 3 points on the visual analog score and a flexion–extension arch compatible with most daily activities were found. Radiographic follow-up showed medium-term improvements, but loss of reduction was observed in the long term. Secondary degeneration was seen in 15% of cases. Radiographic decay did not correlate with clinical outcomes. The overall complication rate was 9%. This review underscores the satisfactory clinical outcome of both procedures. Nonetheless, both interventions pose risks of complications and/or degeneration in the long term.
A Case Report on Ellis–van Creveld Syndrome: Clinical, Embryological, Anesthetic, and Surgical Implications
Authors: Mohan Monusha , Sabapathy S. Raja 
Published: November 2024

AbstractPostaxial polydactyly (PAP) in the form of rudimentary soft tissue masses is quite common. Management involves ligation or surgical excision. Rarely do literature discussions cover complex variants in which the extra finger is fully developed. Ellis–van Creveld syndrome (EVC) or chondroectodermal dysplasia is a rare disorder characterized by PAP. When chondral dysplasia encompasses PAP, dwarfism, and genu valgum, ectodermal dysplasia involves nails and teeth. We describe two EVC cases. When one had cardiac malformations, the other had dental anomalies. One of them underwent genu valgum correction and removal of the additional finger. The hand surgery proved complex due to fusion of its metacarpal with the fifth metacarpal. Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) scores at 1.5 and 2.5 years after hand and knee surgeries were excellent. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to achieve comprehensive care. Additional embryological research is necessary to elucidate the clinical manifestations described in this report.
Chinese and Indian Inequality in a Comparative and Global Context
Authors: Vakulabharanam Vamsi 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this introductory chapter, the rationale for comparing Chinese and Indian inequalities is presented. After indicating the trajectories of China and India along the growth and inequality dimensions, it is argued that these trajectories are remarkably similar despite significant differences in their respective domestic institutions. To make sense of this phenomenon, an alternative framework is presented. First, the chapter discusses the blind spots in the theoretical frameworks of Kuznets and Piketty in shedding light on within-country inequalities, arguing that this book, among other things, offers an alternative framework drawing from the experiences of China and India. Second, the chapter outlines this alternative framework—that it is of a non-deterministic kind that brings together changes in global capitalism and national/regional political economies that explain different configurations of growth and inequality across space and time.
