AbstractImmune‐mediated inflammatory diseases with skin manifestations (skIMIDs) may affect multiple organs. Interdisciplinary care (IC) can overcome the fragmented knowledge used in the management of skIMIDs. In skIMIDs‐care, patient and healthcare practitioner (HCP) satisfaction with IC is unknown. Yet, patient experience influences adherence and medical outcomes. Moreover, HCP experience influences professional satisfaction, perception of care quality and autonomy. Thus, measuring patient and HCP experience can identify areas for improvement in care delivery. The aim of this scoping review was to gather evidence on patient‐ and HCP perceptions on skIMID‐IC and their measurement. We systematically searched on 30 August 2023 PubMed/EMBASE/Cinahl/Web of Science. Eligible studies had to address explicitly experience of IC by patients or HCPs. A conceptional synthesis appraised how experiences were measured and IC was perceived by patients and HCPs. The database search resulted in 21 eligible studies. Fourteen described positive patient and HCP experiences with a specific IC programme. These studies were heterogenous on the levels of IC models, medical conditions, measurement methods and outcomes. Despite that patients and HCPs rated such tailored IC models positively, seven studies on a geographically broader region reported less satisfaction with IC. A conceptual analysis identified domains deemed as important regarding IC: ‘general satisfaction’, ‘patient‐HCP interaction’, ‘information’, ‘functioning of IC’, ‘benefits of IC’. For patients, ‘access to care’ and ‘disease management’ were added. For HCPs ‘illness perception’ was deemed relevant. The heterogeneous way in how IC experience is captured hinders strong conclusions, which mandates the development of standardized analysis tools. Experience with IC in skIMIDs strongly depends on the context of the provided IC and patient experience seems to be better in local IC programmes than systems rolled out in larger geographical regions. Future need is to develop a core IC outcome set including medical outcomes, process indicators, financial indicators, plus patient and HCP care experience measures.

ABSTRACTAs a form of social communication at work, venting—expressing negative feelings about a person or event to others—is fairly ubiquitous. Yet little is known about how those who are the recipients of venting react affectively and behaviorally to this experience at work. To advance our understanding of venting receipt in the workplace, we integrate the archaic view of vicarious emotions into research related to venting at work to develop theory regarding how receiving venting is likely to evoke feelings of personal distress and empathy as employees react to and process this social information. In turn, we theorize that while personal distress leads to venting enactment, empathy leads to helping that can promote more positive social relations, highlighting the double‐edged nature of this phenomenon. Finally, beyond clarifying the theoretical ways that venting recipients react, we also consider how the broader social context—namely, coworker similarity—has the potential to shape these reactions. Across two within‐person field studies, both of which utilize a newly developed measure of venting receipt at work, and a supplemental recall experiment, our research highlights why and when venting at work can have divergent effects on venting recipients.
Urban political ecologies of sewage surveillance: Creating vital and valuable public health data from wastewater
Authors: Arefin Mohammed Rafi , Prouse Carolyn 
Published: December 2024

AbstractWith the outbreak of COVID‐19, wastewater surveillance for public health rapidly emerged and expanded globally. In this article we chart the variegated ecosystem of private firms that work closely with public and non‐profit entities to transform metabolic flows of sewage into vital and valuable bioinformation, thereby creating new multi‐institutional spaces of public health governance. We draw on literature in urban political ecology and political economy to ask: what are the emerging political economic actors, practices, and relations of wastewater surveillance? And how are emergent multi‐institutional public‐private partnerships and contracts transforming public health governance? To answer these questions, we use mixed qualitative methods to trace the field across North America, the Middle East and South Asia. Drawing on interviews, document and report reviews, financial reporting and observation at conferences, we find that these emerging public‐private partnerships present concerning transformations in health governance where profits displace public health needs, proprietary technologies blackbox public health decisions, and vulnerable populations are experimented on for prototyping technology. Our work contributes to renewed interest in urban political ecology's analysis of metabolism by tracing how, during health crises and their aftermath, public and private actors are together reconfiguring flows of waste, labour and technology to unlock new metabolic reservoirs of bioinformation.

AbstractObjectiveTo quantify serum amikacin concentrations in dogs undergoing wound management with topical amikacin (45 mg/mL) 3% carboxymethylcellulose hydrogel.Study designProspective clinical study.Sample populationEleven client‐owned dogs.MethodsDogs with naturally occurring wounds, undergoing treatment with topical amikacin gel, were enrolled. A whole blood sample was collected prior to initial application of the gel. Up to a maximum dose of 30 mg/kg of gel, was applied directly on the wound and the wound was bandaged. Serial blood sampling was performed at approximately 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, and 72 h after application of amikacin gel. The sampling schedule was reset following each bandage change and new application of the gel. Up to 20 samples per dog were collected. The Siemens Syva EMIT Amikacin Assay was used to quantify the concentration of amikacin in each blood serum sample. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of the test was 2.5 μg/mL.ResultsAmikacin gel was applied a total of 31 times (dose range, 0.1–24.9 mg/kg). A total of 153 samples were analyzed. Five samples in three different dogs were above the LLOQ at approximately 2 h after gel application (range 2.75–3.82 μg/mL). All other samples were below the LLOQ.ConclusionRoutine use of amikacin gel for open wound management did not result in serum amikacin levels above 5 μg/mL.Clinical significanceTopical amikacin gel may be a safe treatment option for wounds in dogs with resistant infections or biofilms.

Published: December 2024

AbstractTo what extent are weeds on arable land useful to pollinators in an arable‐dominated landscape? We sampled the weed flora in fields under conventional or organic farming in SE Sweden. More specifically, we noted the frequency of flowering among weeds that scored high on a pollinator index, henceforth ‘pollinator‐friendly weeds’. Furthermore, we sampled pollinating insects within cereal crops using transect walks and colour pan traps. As expected, weeds were ubiquitous and occurred in most sampling plots (0.25 m2). In the pan traps, more than 100 species of pollinators were caught, including 26 Syrphidae, 19 social bees, 37 solitary bees and 22 other Hymenoptera. In the transects walks, the probability of encountering bees increased with flowering of pollinator‐friendly weeds, and there was a similar but weaker pattern among hoverflies. Organically grown fields differed from conventional ones by having more pollinator‐friendly weeds, more flowering of such weeds, and more bees. There was also a tendency for hoverflies and other Hymenoptera to be more abundant in organic fields. Three conclusions emerged. First, pollinator‐friendly weeds made up one third to almost half of the weed occurrences recorded. Second, substantial numbers of pollinators searched for flowers within arable fields, and some increased with the abundance of flowering of pollinator‐friendly weeds. Third, flowering pollinator‐friendly weeds and some pollinators were more abundant in organic fields than in conventional ones. Overall, we showed that weeds on arable land are a potential and sought after resource among pollinators, and that even conventionally grown crops should be considered a potential habitat for bees.

Abstract
The heat transfer performance of an oscillating heat pipe (OHP) was significantly enhanced by changing the inner wall surface wettability and filling ratios. Among the various wettability types, a hybrid surface, where the evaporator and condenser have different wettability, has shown enhancement of heat transfer performance significantly. The effects of different surface wettable vertical tubes are yet to be investigated. Therefore, in this study, a single-loop OHP with three different surface wettable vertical tubes, namely, alternate wettability OHP (AWOHP) were numerically investigated at different filling ratios of 30–90%. The different wettability rates of two vertical tubes caused an uneven distribution of slugs and plugs, which generated an unbalanced pressure difference between the tubes, thereby reducing the start-up time by 60–79%. The bulk mean temperature of the left and right adiabatic tubes was investigated to understand the nature of fluid flow. For filling ratios (FRs) of 30–70%, the right tube temperature was always higher than the left tube in AWOHP 3 (hydrophilic left tube, super-hydrophobic right tube), indicating unidirectional circulatory flow, with an occasional change in direction at 70% FR. At lower FR of 30%, AWOHP 2 (super-hydrophilic left tube, super-hydrophobic right tube) exhibited the highest heat transfer performance. In contrast, at higher FRs of 50–90%, AWOHP 3 exhibited the highest heat transfer performance with conductance (G) of 1075 W/m2 K at an FR of 70%, 55% higher than conventional oscillating heat pipe (COHP).

Assessing elimination of malaria locally requires a surveillance system with high sensitivity and specificity to detect its presence without ambiguity. Currently, the WHO standard criteria of observing the absence of locally acquired cases for 3 consecutive years, combined with a health systems assessment, are used to justify claims of malaria elimination. However, relying on a qualitative framework to support the application of this guideline can lead to early, over-optimistic relaxation of control measures with the potential for resurgence. Overcoming this challenge requires innovative approaches to model the coupled processes of malaria transmission and its clinical observation.We propose a novel statistical framework based on a state-space model to probabilistically demonstrate the absence of malaria, using routinely collected health system data (which is extensive but inherently imperfect). By simultaneously modelling the expected malaria burden within the population and the probability of detection, we provide a robust estimate of the surveillance system’s sensitivity and the corresponding probability of local elimination (probability of freedom from infection).Our study reveals a critical limitation of the traditional criterion for declaring malaria elimination, highlighting its inherent bias and potential for misinterpreting ongoing transmission. Such oversight not only misrepresents ongoing transmission but also places communities at risk for larger outbreaks. However, we demonstrate that our integrated approach to data comprehensively addresses this issue, effectively detecting ongoing transmission patterns, even when local reports might suggest otherwise.Our integrated framework has far-reaching implications for malaria control but also for infectious disease control in general. Our approach addresses the limitations of traditional criteria for declaring freedom from disease and opens the path to true optimisation of the allocation of limited resources. Our findings emphasise the urgent need to reassess existing methods to accurately confirm malaria elimination, and the importance of using comprehensive modelling techniques to continually monitor and maintain the effectiveness of current surveillance systems, enabling decisions grounded in quantitative evidence.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the associations between critical thinking (CT) disposition and personal characteristics and tutors’ guidance among medical graduate students, which may provide a theoretical basis for cultivating CT.DesignA cross-sectional study was conducted.SettingThis study was conducted in Sichuan and Chongqing from November to December 2021.ParticipantsA total of 1488 graduate students from clinical medical schools were included in this study.Data analysisThe distribution of the study participants’ underlying characteristics and CT was described and tested. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between each factor and the CT score. The independent risk factors for CT were assessed using a logistic regression model.ResultsThe average total CT score was 81.79±11.42 points, and the proportion of CT (score ≥72 points) was 78.9% (1174/1488). Female sex (OR 1.405, 95% CI 1.042 to 1.895), curiosity (OR 1.847, 95% CI 1.459 to 2.338), completion of scientific research design with reference (OR 1.779, 95% CI 1.460 to 2.167), asking ‘why’ (OR 1.942, 95% CI 1.508 to 2.501) and team members’ logical thinking ability (OR 1.373, 95% CI 1.122 to 1.681) were positively associated with CT while exhaustion and burn-out (OR 0.721, 95% CI 0.526 to 0.989), inattention (OR 0.572, 95% CI 0.431 to 0.759), Following others’ opinions in decision-making (OR 0.425, 95% CI 0.337 to 0.534) and no allow of doubt to tutors (OR 0.674, 95% CI 0.561 to 0.809) had negative associations with the formation of CT disposition in the fully adjusted model.ConclusionsFactors associated with motivation and internal drive are more important in the educational practice of cultivating CT. Educators should change the reward mechanism from result-oriented to motivation-maintaining to cultivate students’ CT awareness.

ObjectiveTo identify the associations of in-hospital cardiovascular events and mortality with pre-existing comorbidities and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among COVID-19 patients in Bangladesh without vaccine availability.DesignA secondary analysis of a prospective multicountry study.SettingThree COVID-19-designated hospitals in Bangladesh.ParticipantsAdult patients aged ≥18 years with PCR-positive COVID-19 admitted between 10 October 2020 and 31 July 2021 at participating hospitals.Outcome measuresIn-hospital cardiovascular events and mortality.Main exposuresPre-existing comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors.ResultsIn 897 COVID-19 patients, 18.7% developed cardiovascular events and 12.6% died. After adjusting for clinical information and treatment, patients with two comorbidities (excluding CVD risk factors) were significantly associated with cardiovascular events (adjusted (adj.) OR 2.47, 95% CI 1.24 to 4.90). Patients with a higher heart rate at admission (adj. OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.04) and those who were receiving intravenous fluids (adj. OR 2.13, 95% CI 1.23 to 3.70) or antibiotics (adj. OR 4.54, 95% CI 1.47 to 14.01) had significantly higher odds of cardiovascular events. The odds of cardiovascular events were lower in those receiving antiviral medications (adj. OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.18 to 0.53). There were no interactions between comorbidities and other covariates in the models. Comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors were not significantly associated with 30-day mortality in the Cox regression models after adjusting with clinical information and treatment. The mortality within 30 days of admission was significantly higher in patients receiving corticosteroids (adj. HR 2.82, 95% CI 1.48 to 5.38) and lower in those receiving antiviral treatment (adj. HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.34 to 0.81). Those having cardiovascular events significantly increased mortality hazard.ConclusionsClinical factors and treatment affected in-hospital cardiovascular events, which subsequently increased the risk of mortality within 30 days for COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 patients regardless of CVD risk factors and comorbidities require close monitoring for cardiovascular events.

Published: December 2024

ObjectivesThis study employed compositional data analysis to examine the association between 24-hour activity behaviours and emotional and behavioural problems among left-behind children (LBC).DesignCross-sectional analysis.SettingThe research used a cross-sectional approach to analyse data collected from LBC living in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, southern China, between February and May 2023.ParticipantsA total of 275 LBC aged 9–15 years old were recruited.Outcome measuresThe measurement of 24-hour activity behaviour, incorporating sleep, sedentary behaviour (SED), light physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), was accomplished using accelerometers. Emotional and behavioural problems were assessed through the application of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Compositional data analysis was used to evaluate the potential relationship between the composition of 24-hour activity and emotional and behavioural problems.ResultsChanges in allocation, such as transferring time from SED to sleep and LPA, were associated with better internalising (βsleep=−0.53, 95% CI −0.60 to −0.46; βLPA=−0.46, 95% CI −0.55 to −0.38) and externalising problems (βsleep=−0.31, 95% CI −0.39 to −0.22; βLP=−0.23, 95% CI −0.32 to −0.13). Furthermore, reallocating time from LPA to MVPA was associated with reduced internalising problems (β=−0.40, 95% CI −0.84 to −0.12). Positive associations with prosocial behaviour were observed when the time was reallocated to MVPA from sleep (β=0.81, 95% CI 0.57 to 1.05), SED (β=0.75, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.99) and LPA (β=0.82, 95% CI 0.57 to 1.08).ConclusionsThe composition of 24-hour activity behaviours is correlated with emotional and behavioural problems in LBC. The findings indicate that redistributing time from SED to sleep and LPA is linked to improved internalisation and externalisation problem scores. Additionally, the substitution of MVPA for any other behaviours is positively associated with enhanced prosocial behaviours.

ObjectivesThis study investigated how Brazilian young people perceive their role in promoting and supporting their peer community’s mental health and well-being, and the conditions and contexts influencing their engagement.DesignCo-produced qualitative study using in-depth interviews and focus groups with adolescents. The sessions were audio-recorded, transcribed and anonymised. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.SettingData collection took place remotely across Brazil via audio or video calls conducted by a youth collaborator and a senior researcher.Participants46 Brazilian adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years old, recruited primarily via social media.ResultsOur analysis generated four overarching themes: (1) young people’s sense of responsibility and motivation—many participants felt committed to promoting the mental health and well-being of their friends and community, while also critically emphasising responsibilities of and partnerships with adult stakeholders to make a meaningful difference; (2) strategies for promoting peer mental health—suggested strategies included peer-to-peer support, such as non-judgemental listening, and collective actions such as forming school groups; (3) intrapersonal barriers—key barriers to participation included a lack of necessary skills and self-efficacy; and (4) contextual barriers—young people reported feeling unheard, invalidated, and fearing judgement due to mental health stigma.ConclusionThese findings support an ecological view of youth participation in the promotion of mental health as dependent on intrapersonal, interpersonal and contextual factors. Realising young people’s potential in advancing mental health in their communities requires fostering youth–adult partnerships, providing peer support training, and combating adultism and mental health stigma.
