AbstractEndoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) has variable outcomes according to the type of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) used. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available data.Online databases, including EMBASE, PubMed, and SCOPUS, were searched from inception to 30 January 2024. The outcomes of interest were technical success, clinical success, adverse events (AEs), and the need for endoscopic necrosectomy. Pooled estimates stratified by the type of stent (Axios, Nagi, or Spaxus), severity of bleeding, and type of PFC were calculated using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed by I
2 values.37 studies were included in the final analysis. The pooled outcomes (95%CIs) for PFC drainage using the Axios, Nagi, and Spaxus stents, respectively, were: technical success 97.7% (96.4%–98.8%), 96.9% (94.6%–98.5%), 98.2% (94.4%–99.9%); clinical success 90.9% (88.7%–92.8%), 88.5% (79.9%–95.0%), 93.5% (91.0%–95.6%); total AEs 20.4% (16.6%–24.6%), 17.1% (8.3%–28.3%), 7.6% (3.6%–13.0); migration 4.2% (2.9%–5.7%), 7.8% (4.1%–12.4%), 0.9% (0.1%–2.8%); overall bleeding 7.0% (4.9%–9.5%), 4.4% (2.2%–7.4%), 1.8% (0.8%–3.3%); and endoscopic necrosectomy 54.5% (38.9%–69.7%), 16.0% (11.4%–21.3%), 19.9% (6.6%–38.1%). In terms of severity, moderate–severe bleeding was most common with all three stents. AEs were higher in patients with walled-off necrosis compared with pseudocysts. Substantial-to-considerable heterogeneity (I
2 >60%) was present for total AEs for all of the stents.Our study shows good technical and clinical success rates with all three LAMSs for EUS-guided PFC drainage. Total AEs and bleeding were highest with the Axios stent and lowest with the Spaxus. Stent migration was highest with the Nagi stent and lowest with the Spaxus.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background Aggressive surgical methods for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAD) can cause extended operating times and postoperative complications. less extensive techniques may increase the risk of needing further aortic reintervention. To prevent the need for extensive aortic arch surgery and subsequent re-sternotomy, hemiarch replacement (HAR) with innominate artery (a.) translocation is performed to create a suitable proximal landing zone for future endovascular repair.
Methods Retrospective study of 112 patients with ATAD who underwent aortic surgery from January 2009 to December 2020. Forty-one patients underwent HAR with innominate artery translocation, 16 underwent total arch replacement (TAR), and 55 underwent only HAR. Multivariable Cox regression and logistic regression analyses were used to study the outcomes and risk factors.
Results The TAR group had a higher incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury. The overall mortality rate of the TAR group was 25%, compared with 20% in the HAR group and 14.6% in the translocation group. The 5-year overall survival rates for the groups were 81.9%, 75.0%, and 77.7%, respectively. False lumen thrombosis at the aortic arch and descending aorta level were factors associated with reduced mortality in both univariable and multivariable analyses. The translocation group had a significantly higher reintervention rate of 41.5% compared with the TAR and HAR groups, with rates of 31.3% and 16.4%, respectively. The median reintervention time for the translocation group was 4.72 years.
Conclusion Despite the innominate translocation technique having a higher reintervention rate, it had similar mortality outcomes to HAR and TAR. Thus, it could be a more convenient option for reintervention, including creating a proximal landing zone, which could benefit patients needing endovascular repair.

Published: November 2024

AbstractA 57-year-old male patient who underwent an open hemiarch repair with a femoral–femoral crossover bypass and right lower extremity fasciotomies for an acute Type A aortic dissection with limb ischemia presented 5 weeks' postrepair with a 20-pound weight loss due to intermittent hemodynamic collapse of the dissection flap over the origin of the superior mesenteric artery. This case highlights the challenges a dissection flap can cause after an urgent Type A aortic dissection repair.
Beyond dissonance: the transformative power of thought analysis in philosophical practice
Authors: Ding Xiaojun , Xie Caifeng , Yu Feng 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis paper provides a comprehensive examination of thought analysis as a contemporary practice within philosophical inquiry, exploring its theoretical foundations, methodological approaches, and practical implications. Rooted in classical philosophical traditions yet acutely relevant to modern life, thought analysis—officially conceptualized by Tianqun Pan—serves as a bridge between knowledge and action, addressing the cognitive dissonance that often hinders personal growth and rational decision-making. Through an analysis of historical and recent sources, including case studies from the laboratory of thought analysis at Nanjing University, we investigate whether logical reasoning is an innate human capacity or developed through education and practice, highlighting the importance of fostering logical skills in thought analysis. Ethical considerations, such as trust between analyst and visitor and the principle of value neutrality, are critically examined to underscore the necessity of maintaining visitor autonomy and preventing bias. We explore the relationship between thought analysis and therapeutic practices, emphasizing that while thought analysis is not inherently therapeutic, it possesses qualities that can lead to psychological relief and personal development through the clarification of thought. Comparative analyses with Logic-based Therapy and Logotherapy illustrate the unique position of thought analysis within philosophical practice. By reframing thought analysis as a form of humanistic care rather than clinical therapy, the paper advocates for its role in promoting clear thinking, self-awareness, and ethical living, thereby contributing to individual well-being and social harmony. Ultimately, the study affirms thought analysis as a transformative practice that aligns philosophical inquiry with practical life, empowering individuals to achieve greater coherence between their beliefs and actions.
Slavery, sentimentality and the abolition of affect
Authors: Festa Lynn 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This essay addresses the way details about the unspeakable conditions on the slave ships interrupt
the sentimentalization of the plight of the enslaved in order to examine the political volatility of affect — in
particular, disgust — in the late eighteenth-century metropolitan debates over the abolition of the slave trade. While
disgust, with its capacity to assign abject qualities to objects, would seem to be the province of the proslavery
advocates seeking to strip the enslaved of their claim to humanity, this volatile affect also plays a role in
abolitionist efforts to convert visceral responses to descriptions of the Middle Passage into an impetus for action,
making dehumanizing revulsion into moral outrage.
Touching difference and colonial space
Authors: Birkeli Helene Engnes 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This essay argues that Little Marie on Neky’s Arm (1838), a portrait by the Danish
painter Niels P. Holbech, provides a challenge to sentimental constructions of the West-Indian “nanny” figure. The
relational ambiguity of this painting recalls that of the wet nurse and her charge, a figure of nineteenth-century
French painting described by Linda Nochlin (1988). In the context of the
colonial imaginary, the nanny figure represented fears of “miscegenation” while also acting as a foil to white
European motherhood. Other Danish painters portrayed the nanny figure against the backdrop of the external world.
Holbech, however, foregrounds Neky and her charge, Marie by locating them in an indeterminate space. Through its close
attention to detail and difference, the painting lays bare the colonial ideology demarcating near and far, nation and
colony.
Politics and faith, slavery and abolition in nineteenth-century Brazilian literature
Authors: Collins Jane-Marie 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The first Brazilian abolitionist novel, Úrsula (1859), was written by a black
woman, Maria Firmina dos Reis (1825–1917). Reis’s entire literary production was lost for over a century and discovery
and recovery commenced only in the 1960s. This chapter examines Úrsula, and Reis’s short story
A escrava [The slave woman] (1887). Úrsula was written in the decade following
the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade to Brazil in 1850, while A escrava was written on the
brink of the abolition of slavery (1888) and the fall of the monarchy (1889). The analysis presented here locates
Reis’s writing within the history and historiography of slavery and abolition in nineteenth-century Brazil.
Intellectually, this study also examines Reis's two texts through conventions of sentimental and Romantic writing,
allowing a discursive and historical disentangling of her literary treatment of slavery and abolition. Culturally, it
is argued that Reis's religious belief, as a Roman Catholic, was critical to her writing in ways that have been
overlooked in the scholarship to date. Finally, it is proposed that as a descendant of enslaved Africans herself,
Reis's anti-slavery writing belongs to the wider corpus of black women's writing across the Americas.
Testamentary manumission and emotional bonds in eighteenth-century Saint-Domingue
Authors: Palmer Jennifer L. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Plantation slavery brought whites and people of color into constant intimate contact in a system
of intense forcible domination and subordination. This generated powerful emotions on the part of both enslavers and
the enslaved. A close reading of one testament from eighteenth-century French Saint-Domingue suggests that systems of
enslavement prompted a range of emotions on the part of white slave owners. While the emotional responses of the
enslaved are much more difficult to identify, this example suggests that emotions played a key role in leading to or
discouraging manumission. Why else would the wealthy, childless widow Marie-Magdeleine Rossignol manumit nine enslaved
people in her will?

Additionally, the device incorporates a wealth of physical concepts and content, thereby enriching the material covered in college physics experiment courses.
Direct prediction of saturated neoclassical tearing modes in slab using an equilibrium approach
Authors: Balkovic E , Loizu J , Graves J P , Huang Y-M , Smiet C 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We demonstrate for the first time that the nonlinear saturation of neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) can be found directly using a variational principle based on Taylor relaxation, without needing to simulate the intermediate, resistivity-dependent dynamics. As in previous investigations of classical tearing mode saturation (Loizu et al 2020 Phys. Plasmas
27 070701; Loizu and Bonfiglio 2023 J. Plasma Phys.
89 905890507), we make use of Stepped Pressure Equilibrium Code (SPEC) (Hudson et al 2012 Phys. Plasmas
19 112502), an equilibrium solver based on the variational principle of the multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamics (MHDs), featuring stepped pressure profiles and arbitrary magnetic topology. We work in slab geometry and employ a simple bootstrap current model

and bootstrap current strength. Saturated island widths produced by SPEC agree well with the predictions of an initial value resistive MHDs code (Huang and Bhattacharjee 2016 Astrophys. J.
818 20) while being orders of magnitude faster to calculate. Additionally, we observe good agreement with a simple analytical modified Rutherford equation, without requiring any fitting coefficients. The match is obtained for both linearly unstable classical tearing modes in the presence of bootstrap current, and NTMs, which are linearly stable but nonlinear-unstable due to the effects of the bootstrap current.

Abstract
Magnetoelectric (ME) effects in composite heterostructures comprising ferromagnetic (FM) and piezoelectric (PE) layers realize mutual transformation of magnetic and electric fields and form the basis for the development of highly sensitive magnetic field sensors, electrically tuned electronic components, and energy harvesting devices. ME effects result from a combination of magnetostriction of the FM layer and piezoelectricity in the PE layer due to mechanical coupling between the layers. In this work ME effects are studied in a flexible heterostructure containing a magnetostrictive fiber composite (MFC) and a piezopolymer layer. MFC is a set of microwires made of amorphous FeCoSiB alloy with high magnetostriction and arranged in a plane parallel to each other in a polymer matrix. MFC exhibits strong in-plane anisotropy of magnetization and magnetostriction resulting from demagnetization effects in microwires. Anisotropy leads to the dependence of the linear and nonlinear ME effects characteristics on the orientation of dc magnetic field in the plane of the heterostructure. For the fabricated heterostructure at the resonance frequency of bending vibrations, a linear ME coefficient of 24 V (Oe∙cm)−1 was obtained, and the efficiency of nonlinear generation of the second voltage harmonic reached 1.6 V (Oe2∙cm)−1. ME effects in MFC heterostructures can be used to create magnetic field sensors and electronic devices that are sensitive to the field orientation.
Insights of anisotropic compact stellar structures in f(R, T) theory
Authors: Naseer Tayyab , Sharif M , Chand Fatima 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This study formulates two distinct non-singular interior solutions that characterize anisotropic spherical structures in the context of f(R, T) theory. We formulate the modified Einstein field equations alongside the corresponding anisotropic factor associated with a static interior spacetime. The field equations are then addressed by implementing two unique constraints that facilitate to solve a system. By adopting specific forms of pressure anisotropy, we derive two different solutions. In both scenarios, we encounter differential equations whose solutions incorporate integration constants which are determined by equating the metric functions of an interior metric with those of the Schwarzschild exterior metric at the boundary of the sphere. The condition of zero radial pressure at the hypersurface also plays a crucial role in this regard. Subsequently, we explore specific conditions that, when met, yield physically feasible compact models. To graphically assess them, we take into account the estimated data of a star, namely SAX J 1808.4-3658 along with different values of the model parameter. Our findings indicate that both stellar solutions align well with the physically existence criteria under certain parametric values.
Mass transport in brain cells: integer-order and fractional-order modeling
Authors: Shit Abhijit , Bora Swaroop Nandan 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This work successfully elucidates the process of mass transport to brain tissues in a mathematical framework by considering two concepts of porosity and tortuosity in terms of both integer-order and fractional-order models. Henceforth, the analytical solutions to the mass transport model are also obtained to find the response functions by means of which the transport process becomes quite explicit. For better insight into the transport process, a graphical analysis is taken into account. The newly-developed fractional version not only presents better-suited analytical solutions to the model but additionally the graphs also show the matching of the solutions for both integer-order and fractional models. Based on the approximation for four sets of experimental data made by the analytical solution through the means of graphical and numerical results, the fractional model also leads to the selection of the best possible values of the fractional order. We also establish the credibility of the fractional-order model in approximating a wide class of experimental data taken from the laboratory. All the observations clearly establish the superiority of fractional model over the integer-order one.
Effect of interstitial nitrogen on physical and mechanical properties of Al0.5CoCrNi high-entropy alloys: a first-principles study
Authors: Jin Hao , Chen Yanru , Fang Qihong , Li Jia 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The N-doped high entropy alloys (HEAs) have recently garnered significant interest for their outstanding mechanical properties, making them valuable structural materials within the industry, aerospace, and biomedical science. In this work, the impact of interstitial N atom on various properties of Al0.5CoCrNi HEA is investigated through first-principle calculations. Specifically, the changes in lattice constant, formation energy, elastic modulus, density of states, Vickers hardness, Debye temperature, energy factor, and charge density caused by the presence of interstitial N atom are analyzed. The results show that the interstitial N atoms lead to a decrease of the sample stability due to an increasing formation energy of the N-doped HEA. As the interstitial N content increases, the elastic module decreases, and an apparent anisotropy appears in N-doped HEA. Moreover, Vickers hardness decreases, suggesting the change of the stiffness and deformation characteristics. Compared to the N-doped tetrahedrons, the N-doped octahedrons exhibit high ductility due to an increasing Poisson’s ratio, a decreasing G/B ratio, and an increasing Cauchy pressure. The significant decreasing Debye temperature and average sound velocity reduces the thermal stability. The change of the electronic structure suggests the possibility for customizing electronic and optical properties. Additionally, the low energy factors for screw and edge dislocations promote dislocation nucleation in N-doped HEA. Charge density analysis reveals strong bonding characteristics, potentially affecting the chemical stability and reactivity. This work provides a unique perspective on the N-doped mechanical mechanism, and offers important insights for the advancement of advanced N-doped HEA.
Tomography of flavoured leptogenesis with primordial blue gravitational waves
Authors: Chianese Marco , Datta Satyabrata , Samanta Rome , Saviano Ninetta 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We explore a scenario where an early epoch of matter domination is driven by the mass scale MN
of the right-handed neutrinos, which also characterizes the different flavour regimes of leptogenesis. Such a matter-domination epoch gives rise to peculiar spectral imprints on primordial Gravitational Waves (GWs) produced during inflation. We point out that the characteristic spectral features are detectable in multiple frequency bands with current and future GW experiments in case of Blue GWs (BGWs) described by a power-law with a positive spectral index (nT
> 0) and an amplitude compatible with Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) measurements at the CMB scale. We find that the three-flavour leptogenesis regime with MN
≲ 109 GeV imprints BGWs more prominently than the two-flavour and one-flavour regimes characterized by a higher right-handed neutrino mass. In particular, a two-flavour (three-flavour) leptogenesis regime is expected to leave distinct imprints in the mHz–Hz (μHz–mHz) band. Moreover, we translate the current Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and LIGO limits on the GW energy density into constraints on the flavour leptogenesis parameter space for different GW spectral indices nT
. We provide a rigorous statistical analysis of how the future GW detectors would be conjointly able to distinguish the flavour regimes. Interestingly, the scenario also offers unique GW signals testable in the next LIGO run with a correlated signature in the PTA frequency band with an amplitude comparable to the one expected from supermassive black holes.
