AbstractThe seeds of dipterocarp trees are the main food resources for many species of weevils, bark beetles and small moths; however, for most seed‐eating insects on dipterocarp tropical trees, seed utilization patterns remain poorly investigated. This study aimed to determine the fruit maturation stages at which eggs are laid by different insect seed predators feeding on the seeds or fruits of the following five dipterocarp species: Dipterocarpus globosus, Dryobalanops aromatica, Shorea beccariana, S. acuta and S. curtisii, which reproduced during the same period. We investigated the occurrence frequencies of the insect seed predators at various growth stages by collecting both unfallen and fallen fruit on several occasions during the period of seed/fruit maturation in a tropical rainforest in Borneo from September to December 2013. Weevils and bark beetles were the dominant insect seed predators of the five tree species. One or two weevil species of Alcidodes, Damnux and/or Nanophyes preyed on the seeds of each of the five tree species, and one bark beetle species, Coccotrypes gedeanus, preyed on the seeds of all five tree species. Many larvae, pupae and adults of each weevil species were found in pre‐dispersal (unfallen) fruit, whereas bark beetles at various growth stages were found in post‐dispersal (fallen) fruit. These results suggested that, among the dominant insect seed predators of the five dipterocarp species, weevil species oviposit on pre‐dispersal fruit and begin their larval growth before seed dispersal, whereas the oviposition and larval development of bark beetle species occurs in post‐dispersal fruit.
The history of commercial fisheries for European eel commenced only a century ago
Authors: Dekker Willem 
Published: July 2018

AbstractThe stock of the European eel is in decline throughout its distribution area—for decades, if not for centuries. Its population dynamics are not well understood. The extremely scattered occurrence, as well as the general lack of quantified information before 1950, prevents a straightforward analysis. This article discusses the history of eel fisheries across Europe, reviewing the literature published before 1940. A follow‐up study is advocated, to unearth primary information in archives across Europe.In the late 1800s, development programmes were initiated in central Europe, complementing the widespread subsistence fisheries with “modern” commercial exploitation of new areas, new markets and new products. In the early 1900s, increasing fisheries and trade were reported throughout northern Europe, and new developments started in the south. This lasted until about 1950—when the current multidecadal decline set in. The eel fisheries have never experienced a period of stable, sustainable exploitation. The decline in the stock is probably not a simple case of overfishing, but a continent‐wide serial depletion of local resources—eventually depleting the whole stock—in times of growing non‐fisheries impacts. Consequences for the European eel protection programme and for the derivation of restoration targets are discussed.

AimThe purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia and depression in older patients with diabetes using the Japanese version of SARC‐F.MethodsParticipants included patients with diabetes aged ≥65 years who were undergoing outpatient treatment at the Ise Red Cross Hospital, Ise, Japan. Depression was measured using the Japanese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire 9, which is a nine‐item questionnaire. Sarcopenia was assessed using the Japanese version of SARC‐F, a self‐administered questionnaire comprising five question items. Multiple logistic regression analysis with depression as the dependent variable and sarcopenia as the explanatory variable was used to calculate the odds ratio for depression in patients with sarcopenia.ResultsA total of 275 patients (167 men, 108 women) were the study participants. The adjusted odds ratio for depression in male patients with sarcopenia was 5.76 (95% CI 1.83–18.12, P = 0.003). The adjusted odds ratio for depression in female patients with sarcopenia was 2.62 (95% CI 0.68–10.05, P = 0.159).ConclusionsA statistically significant relationship was shown between sarcopenia and depression in older male patients with diabetes. We believe that drawing the attention of physicians to sarcopenia prevalence by using the Japanese version of SARC‐F will contribute to the detection of depression in older male patients with diabetes.

Cognitive motor coordination training and the improvement of visual‐spatial cognition in office work
Authors: Jansen Petra , Fraunhofer Lisa , Pietsch Stefanie 
Published: July 2018

AbstractIt has been shown that motor coordination training can enhance performance in spatial cognition tasks. This was investigated in an applied setting. Twenty‐eight office workers attended either cognitive motor coordination training or core‐stability training for one hour every week for six weeks. Before and after training, mental rotation and spatial visualization as well as cognitive processing speed were measured. Results showed a significant improvement in both spatial tasks after the cognitive motor coordination training but not in the general cognitive measurement. Core‐stability training did not impact either of these dependent variables. It is concluded that motor coordination training can be a useful supplement for working environments where spatial cognition is essential, such as architecture or surgery.

RésuméLes auteurs s'interrogent sur les politiques et facteurs qui influent sur la correspondance entre offre et demande de travail. Ils repèrent d'abord les déplacements de la courbe de Beveridge dans douze pays de l'OCDE (2000–2013) – avec trois méthodes complémentaires – avant de les expliquer avec un modèle à variable dépendante limitée. L'analyse montre que la croissance de la population active et la législation protectrice de l'emploi facilitent l'appariement, à l'inverse des qualifications moyennes et du chômage de longue durée. De même, l'effet favorable des politiques actives (partage d'emploi, aide à l'entrepreneuriat) contraste avec un effet nettement défavorable des politiques passives (allocations chômage, imposition du travail).

AbstractAimTo explore the feasibility of the Post‐Stroke Depression toolkit in terms of fidelity and acceptability in daily nursing practice.BackgroundDepression after stroke is common and influences patients’ recovery significantly. Although stroke guidelines recommend early depression screening and treatment, depressive symptoms remain unrecognized. To enhance adoption of evidence into the context of the daily practice of stroke treatment, we developed the Post‐Stroke Depression toolkit, an evidence‐based nurse‐led intervention for the early management of depressive symptoms after a stroke for use in the hospital setting.DesignAn explanatory mixed‐methods before‐and‐after study design.MethodsData were collected continuously from March 2012 ‐ June 2013 during three phases: pre‐implementation, the implementation phase (where implementation strategies guided the implementation) and the sustainability phase (executed without the implementation strategies) and involved patient chart audits and surveys and individual and focus group interviews with nurses.ResultsA total of 775 patient charts were audited to examine fidelity. Implementation of the Post‐Stroke Depression toolkit during the implementation phase resulted in an increase in depression screening (+72.9%) and more patients receiving nursing interventions (+11.1%). During the sustainability phase, screening for depression decreased (−16.3%), while the application of the nursing interventions remained unchanged (+0.6%). The acceptability of the toolkit was judged to be good.ConclusionsThe Post‐Stroke Depression toolkit was found to be feasible in terms of fidelity and acceptability, improving structural screening for depressive symptoms as well as the application of nursing interventions in case of a positive screening.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03500250.

Published: July 2018

AbstractAimTo explore how formal caregivers perceive and interpret aggressive behaviour in nursing home residents living with dementia, by synthesizing knowledge from published qualitative studies.BackgroundNursing home caregivers are exposed to aggressive behaviour from residents living with dementia. The way caregivers perceive aggressive behaviour may affect their feelings and actions related to situations and thus nursing care. Knowledge about caregivers’ perceptions of aggressive behaviour has previously not been synthesized.DesignNoblit and Hare's interpretative meta‐ethnography.Data sourcesA systematic literature search in CINAHL, PubMed and Scopus supplemented by manual search strategies, were completed. Nine studies from five countries, published between 2001 ‐ 2015, met the research objective and inclusion criteria and were included.FindingFive themes describing formal caregivers’ perceptions and interpretation of residents′ aggressive behaviour emerged: “A manifestation of the disease”; “a way to express themselves and their needs”; “a reaction to caregivers” attitude and approach”; “a reaction to a stressful and demanding environment”; and “an unavoidable situation that seems impossible to solve”. Themes were synthesized into the metaphor: ‘tailoring using unpredictable patterns’ and visualized in a model.ConclusionCaregivers perceive and interpret aggressive behaviour related to the resident's illness and person, the caregiver's attitude and approach, or a demanding environment. Further research and theoretical development is important, as shown by different perceptions and interpretations, as well as central definitions in research publications. The study informs evidence‐based practice and health‐policy by showing the importance of developing reflective relational nursing care, knowledge, and competence in nursing homes.

OBJECTIVESTo evaluate the utility of monitoring emergency medical services (EMS) call patterns to identify older adults who may benefit from targeted fall prevention and medical monitoring strategies.DESIGNRetrospective chart review of EMS fall‐related care. The HealthEMS database for the community surveyed was queried from January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2016. Fall‐related calls for individuals aged 60 and older were identified and used to determine which individuals had subsequent fall calls and needed transport to the hospital over the study time period.SETTINGMedium‐sized suburban community.PARTICIPANTSCommunity‐dwelling adults aged 60 and older with fall‐related calls.MEASUREMENTSDescriptive EMS cell data.RESULTSOver the 10‐year period, 37,324 EMS call data were recorded, with 11% (N=4,084) identified as fall‐related calls that occurred for individuals aged 60 and older. Twenty‐nine percent (n=685) of individuals who called for a fall called at least one more time within the study period. Time between calls substantially decreased the more frequently an individual called (p<.001). Fifteen percent (n=107) of repeat callers called 5 or more times for falls, and these individuals were transported to the hospital only 21% of the time (vs 75% of first‐time callers, p <.001).CONCLUSIONCertain older individuals are at risk of having multiple fall‐related calls to EMS over short periods of time, sometimes within hours of previous calls. In our current healthcare system, no significant intervention or follow‐up is offered or available by emergency first response teams to prevent subsequent falls. This study demonstrates the need for a paradigm change in our healthcare system that helps reduce resource utilization for the first responder community for fall‐related calls in older adults and re‐directs those resources to implement nationwide fall‐prevention strategies to decrease fall related disability and death.
Reliability of parent report measures of behaviour in children with Down syndrome

AbstractBackgroundBehavioural problems are common among children with Down syndrome (DS). Tools to detect and evaluate maladaptive behaviours have been developed for typically developing children and have been evaluated for use among children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. However, these measures have not been evaluated for use specifically in children with DS. This psychometric evaluation is important given that some clinically observed behaviours are not addressed in currently available rating scales. The current study evaluates the psychometric properties of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), a commonly used screening tool developed for typically developing children and commonly used with children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.MethodsThe study investigated the psychometric properties of the CBCL among school‐aged children with DS, including an assessment of the rate of detecting behaviour problems, concerns with distribution, internal consistency, inter‐rater reliability and convergent and discriminant validity with the Aberrant Behavior Checklist and Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form. Caregivers of 88 children with DS aged 6–18 years rated their child's behaviour with the CBCL, Aberrant Behavior Checklist and Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form. Teachers completed the Teacher Report Form.ResultsAbout one‐third of children with DS were reported to exhibit behaviours of clinical concern on the total score of the CBCL. Internal consistency for CBCL sub‐scales was poor to excellent, and inter‐rater reliability was generally acceptable. The sub‐scales of the CBCL performed best when evaluating convergent validity, with variable discriminant validity. Normative data conversions controlled for age and gender differences in this sample.ConclusionsThe study findings suggest that, among children with DS, some CBCL sub‐scales generally performed in a psychometrically sound and theoretically appropriate manner in relation to other measures of behaviour. Caution is warranted when interpreting specific sub‐scales (Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints and Thought Problems). The CBCL can continue to be used as a screening measure when evaluating behavioural concerns among children with DS, acknowledging poor discriminant validity and the possibility that key behaviour concerns in DS may not be captured by the CBCL screen.

SummaryIon beam induced heat damage in soft materials and biological samples is not yet well understood in Focused Ion Beam systems (FIBs). The work presented here discusses the physics behind the ion beam – sample interactions and the effects which lead to increases in sample temperature and potential heat damage. A model by which heat damage can be estimated and which allows parameters to be determined that reduce/prevent heat damage was derived from Fourier's law of heat transfer and compared to finite element simulations, numerical modelling results and experiments. The results suggests that ion beam induced heat damage can be prevented/minimised by reducing the ion beam current (local dose rate), decreasing the beam overlap (reduced local ion dose) and by introducing a blur (increased surface cross‐section area, reduced local dose) while sputtering, patterning or imaging soft material and nonresin‐embedded biological samples using FIBs.Lay descriptionFIB/SEMs, which combine a scanning electron microscope with a focused ion beam in a single device, have found increasing interest biological research. The device allows to cut samples at precisely selected areas and reveal sub surface information as well as preparing transmission electron microscope samples from bulk materials. Preparing biological samples has proven to be challenging due to the induced heat damage. This work explores the physics behind the sample cutting and proposes a model and a method, based on physical principles which allows the user to estimate the induced heat during the cutting process and to select cutting parameters which avoid heat damage in the sample.

AbstractAcute cerebral lesions are associated with dysregulation of brain glucose homeostasis. Previous studies showed that knockdown of Na+‐D‐glucose cotransporter SGLT1 impaired outcome after middle cerebral artery occlusion and that widely expressed intracellular RS1 (RSC1A1) is involved in transcriptional and post‐translational down‐regulation of SGLT1. In the present study, we investigated whether SGLT1 is up‐regulated during traumatic brain injury (TBI) and whether removal of RS1 in mice (RS1‐KO) influences SGLT1 expression and outcome. Unexpectedly, brain SGLT1 mRNA in RS1‐KO was similar to wild‐type whereas it was increased in small intestine and decreased in kidney. One day after TBI, SGLT1 mRNA in the ipsilateral cortex was increased 160% in wild‐type and 40% in RS1‐KO. After RS1 removal lesion volume 1 day after TBI was reduced by 12%, brain edema was reduced by 28%, and motoric disability determined by a beam walking test was improved. In contrast, RS1 removal did neither influence glucose and glycogen accumulation 1 day after TBI nor up‐regulation of inflammatory cytokines TNF‐α, IL‐1β and IL‐6 or microglia activation 1 or 5 days after TBI. The data provide proof of principle that inhibition or down‐regulation of SGLT1 by targeting RS1 in brain could be beneficial for early treatment of TBI.

AbstractMicrodialysis is a method to study the extracellular space in vivo, based on the principle of diffusion. It can be used to measure various small molecules including the neuroregulator adenosine. Baseline levels of the compounds measured with microdialysis vary over studies. We systematically reviewed the literature to investigate the full range of reported baseline concentrations of adenosine and adenosine monophosphate in microdialysates. We performed a meta‐regression analysis to study the influence of flow rate, probe membrane surface area, species, brain area and anaesthesia versus freely behaving, on the adenosine concentration. Baseline adenosine concentrations in microdialysates ranged from 0.8 to 2100 nM. There was limited evidence on baseline adenosine monophosphate concentrations in microdialysates. Across studies, we found effects of flow rate and anaesthesia versus freely behaving on dialysate adenosine concentrations (p ≤ 0.001), but not of probe membrane surface, species, or brain area (p ≥ 0.14). With increasing flow rate, adenosine concentrations decreased. With anaesthesia, adenosine concentrations increased. The effect of other predictor variables on baseline adenosine concentrations, for example, post‐surgical recovery time, could not be analysed because of a lack of reported data. This study shows that meta‐regression can be used as an alternative to new animal experiments to answer research questions in the field of neurochemistry. However, current levels of reporting of primary studies are insufficient to reach the full potential of this approach; 63 out of 133 studies could not be included in the analysis because of insufficient reporting, and several potentially relevant factors had to be excluded from the analyses. The level of reporting of experimental detail needs to improve.

AbstractAimNo consensus has been achieved on the prognostic factors for patients with advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS). This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors for the patients diagnosed as International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIIc–IV high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HG‐SOC).MethodsA total of 200 patients histologically diagnosed as IIIc–IV stage HG‐SOC were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent platinum‐NAC followed by IDS treatment between January 2003 and December 2013. The potential predictive factors (including preoperative ascites volume, cancer antigen 125 [CA‐125] and CA‐125 decreasing kinetics, NAC and adjuvant chemotherapy cycle number as well as tumor characteristics) for optimal cytoreduction by IDS and for progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed.ResultsOptimal cytoreduction by IDS was achieved in 78% of HG‐SOC patients who underwent NAC. The median number of NAC cycle was 3 (range 1–8). No ascites regression (P < 0.01, odds ratio [OR] = 2.28, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.41–3.69), and worse CA‐125 decreasing kinetics (P < 0.01, OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.37–2.93) were independent predictive factors for suboptimal cytoreduction by IDS. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that PFS and OS were independently associated with preoperative ascites (P < 0.01, hazard ratio [HR] = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.38–3.28 and P < 0.01, HR = 2.33, 95% CI: 1.27–4.26, respectively) and CA‐125 decreasing kinetics (P = 0.01, HR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.02–1.18 and P < 0.01, HR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.08–1.37, respectively). PFS of patients who underwent more than four NAC cycles was shorter than those of patients who received four or less number of NAC cycles; however, no difference was observed for OS.ConclusionAscites regression and CA‐125 decreasing kinetics were independently associated with the optimal cytoreduction rate and survival of patients diagnosed with advanced stage HG‐SOC and treated with NAC/IDS.
