Authors: Savla Adesh , Gupta Rashi , Koshal Sonita 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundOral surgery as a speciality has traditionally experienced significant demands, representing one of the largest volume and cost of referrals from primary to secondary care. The IMOS service was created with the objective to increase the efficiency and accessibility of oral surgery services to the public, as well as reduce pressures within hospital settings.AimsTo assess:

The quality of the service provided.
The waiting times.
If the service met needs.
Patient‐reported outcome and experience measures.
MethodA random sample of patients referred to London Tier 2 IMOS providers were selected, 10 from each provider, totalling 180. They were evaluated to ascertain waiting times, treatment delivered, quality of documentation and level of complexity, level 1, 2, and 3. Patient‐Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) were also carried out to assess satisfaction.Results38.3% of referrals were classed as Level 1 and the remaining Level 2 and Level 3 were 60% and 1.67%, respectively. 37.2% of patients were seen within 0–49 days, and 72.3% of patients were seen and treated within 18 weeks. 90.8% of these cases were non‐surgical, 17.9% involved mandibular 3rd molar extractions, of which 46.6% were surgical.313 PREMs and 321 PROMs were collected, the experience survey revealed over 98.7% of patients felt anxiety and pain were managed well, with any concerns addressed. PROMs showed that 94.3% of patients did not require further calls or assistance post‐treatment. 72.4% of patients felt recovery was completed within 3 days of the treatment. 1.87% of patients required further assistance such as for dry socket and infection.ConclusionThe London IMOS service is an economical, safe and effective environment to provide minor oral surgery to the vast majority of patients, who would have otherwise been seen in secondary care. Development of pan London triage and communication pathways will further enhance the service and ensure smooth and efficient patient journeys.

ABSTRACTIntroductionIncidence of and risk factors for early hospital readmission (EHR) are poorly defined in pediatric liver transplant recipients. Therefore, we evaluated EHR incidence and risk factors for pediatric liver recipients in a nationally representative sample.MethodsUsing the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation database, we retrospectively analyzed 2808 pediatric liver‐only recipients transplanted 2011–2022. Recipient‐, donor‐, and center‐level characteristics were evaluated as possible risk factors for EHR within 30 days of hospital discharge using multivariable modified Poisson regression.ResultsOverall, 23% (N = 642) of pediatric recipients experienced EHR. Independent risk factors for EHR include diabetes (adjusted relative risk [aRR] 2.33, 95% CI: 1.41–3.86, p = 0.001), history of malignancy (aRR 1.59, 95% CI: 1.19–2.11, p = 0.002), and shorter length of transplant hospitalization. Recipients in the shortest length of stay quartile (median [IQR] 8 [7–9] days) had a ninefold increased risk for EHR compared with recipients in the longest length of stay quartile (34 [28–48] days) (aRR 8.86, 95% CI: 5.68–13.81, p < 0.001). Incidence of EHR did not vary by transplant center and was not associated with other characteristics of the donor (DCD vs. not DCD), recipient (age, race, sex, and diagnosis), procedure (whole vs. split liver, ischemic time), or transplant center.ConclusionWe found the 30‐day readmission rate for pediatric liver transplant recipients was 23%. Shorter hospital stays were a major risk factor for EHR, highlighting that longer initial transplant hospital stays may be beneficial for predischarge optimization and coordination of their complex care.
Bridging the Gap: A Review of Pediatric to Adult Transition of Care in Liver Transplantation

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundWith improvements in long‐term graft function and survival, an increasing population of pediatric liver transplant (LT) recipients now require adult care. A process to successfully transition young adults to adult LT centers is supported in the literature with discussions on the rationale for health care transition (HCT), barriers to transition, stakeholder perspectives, and transfer readiness (TR). Results of outcomes studies are difficult to generalize and there remains no standard of care for HCT in LT. Of concern is that the youth's increasing independence occurs during a period of developmental vulnerability, with a threat to graft function due to risk‐taking behaviors, specifically nonadherence, that may lead to rejection, graft loss, and death.Objectives/MethodThe purpose of this comprehensive literature review is to discuss current knowledge, practices, and outcomes of HCT for LT recipients with additional support from literature in solid organ transplant (SOT) and pediatric‐onset chronic conditions literature.ResultsRecent position statements in LT and SOT express a greater awareness of the importance of HCT with broad agreement that reflects a similarity in approach in endorsing HCT as an essential process that should be initiated in early adolescence with TR as a primary determinant of transfer; however, standardization with consistent outcomes measurement is lacking. The literature supports transition as an esential component of care that should be initated in early adolescence with programs that address knowlege, skill‐development, and advocacy. The engagement of all stakeholders in LT is essential to program development.ConclusionsThere is increasing awareness among the multidisciplinary team of the importance and role of the adult provider in extending transitional care into the adult setting as executive functioning skills mature. Outcome measures need to be clearly defined and standardized. Regulatory agency involvement to validate and support the need for TOC programs is crucial and should promote outcomes research for best practice program standardization.
Can reducing learning costs improve public support for means‐tested benefit programs?
Authors: Porumbescu Gregory , Walsh Stephanie , Hetling Andrea 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis study investigates how efforts to reduce learning costs of means‐tested public benefit programs impact public support of these programs and perceived deservingness of program beneficiaries. Focusing on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the United States, a well‐known means‐tested public benefit program, we integrate research from educational psychology with policy feedback theory, predicting that the structure of information about SNAP's application process and eligibility requirements affects learning costs and public attitudes toward this program and its beneficiaries. Testing these predictions through a preregistered dose–response survey experiment, participants are randomly assigned to control or one of three treatment groups, which incrementally alters the structure of SNAP information participants are exposed to. Our findings demonstrate that enhancing the SNAP information structure lowers learning costs and indirectly improves public support and perceived deservingness of beneficiaries. We discuss implications for theory and practice.
Do Social Support, Perceived Stress, and Psychological Distress Mediate the Relationship Between Social Problem‐Solving and Suicidality in People With Gender Dysphoria?
Authors: Eskin Mehmet , Turan Şenol 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTIndividuals with gender dysphoria (GD) often exhibit suicidal inclinations. In the present study, we investigated the scope of suicidal ideation and attempts and the roles of perceived social support, stress, and psychological distress in mediating social problem‐solving and suicidality in individuals with GD. Two hundred and five adults with GD (110 GD assigned female at birth [AFAB]; 95 GD assigned male at birth [AMAB]) completed a self‐report survey including questions about suicide ideation and attempts, as well as the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ‐12), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Social Problem‐Solving Inventory‐Revised (SPSI‐R). We utilized correlation, regression, and mediation analyses to assess models. Overall, both suicidal ideation (for AFAB = 61.8%; for AMAB = 61.1%; p = 0.91) and suicide attempts (for AFAB = 43.6%; for AMAB = 37.9%; p = 0.41) were common in individuals with GD. The two groups did not differ in GHQ‐12, PSS, and SPSI‐R total scale scores, but AMAB scored lower on the MSPSS total score. Perceived social support, perceived stress, and psychological distress partially mediated social problem‐solving and suicidal ideation, whereas perceived stress and psychological distress fully mediated social problem‐solving and suicide attempts. There is a need to develop interventions to improve the psychological well‐being of people with GD. Current results suggest that problem‐solving therapy may effectively suit the need to manage suicidality in people with GD.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTRetrieval and recommendation are two essential tasks in modern search tools. This paper introduces a novel retrieval‐reranking framework leveraging large language models to enhance the spatiotemporal and semantic associated mining and recommendation of relevant, unusual climate and environmental events described in news articles and web posts. This framework uses advanced natural language processing techniques to address the limitations of traditional manual curation methods in terms of high labor costs and lack of scalability. Specifically, we explore an optimized solution to employ cutting‐edge embedding models for semantically analyzing spatiotemporal events (news) and propose a Geo‐Time Re‐ranking strategy that integrates multi‐faceted criteria including spatial proximity, temporal association, semantic similarity, and category‐instructed similarity to rank and identify similar spatiotemporal events. We apply the proposed framework to a dataset of four thousand local environmental observer network events, achieving top performance on recommending similar events among multiple cutting‐edge dense retrieval models. The search and recommendation pipeline can be applied to a wide range of similar data search tasks dealing with geospatial and temporal data. We hope that by linking relevant events, we can better aid the general public to gain enhanced understanding on climate change and its impact on different communities.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTPlace spoofing toponyms (PSTs) are intentionally misleading toponyms that convey false meanings that are inconsistent with the real scenarios they represent. At present, the negative impact of PSTs on politics and the economy, especially in pursuit of commercial profits in the making of lofty toponyms, is becoming increasingly serious. It is difficult for some government departments to distinguish PSTs efficiently and comprehensively via manual methods. Therefore, there are three aspects in the creation of PSTs that require optimization to facilitate the task: semantic unit segmentation, vector representation, and classification algorithms. This paper proposes an automated method for identifying PSTs. It employs a Transformer model trained on manually labeled semantic units to perform word segmentation, utilizes a pretrained language model to generate word vectors, and employs TextRCNN for short text classification. The automated method was evaluated with 60,000 toponyms from Wuhan, China, and the results show that the weighted F1 is 97.48%, with high precision and recall, which could serve as a reference for toponym management by government departments.

Published: December 2024

AbstractBackgroundManual blood smear review (MSR) to complement automated CBC results is a labor‐intensive process. Efforts have been made to use criteria based on automated hematology analyzer data to identify samples warranting MSR. These efforts have coincided with the emergence of modern data science and machine learning.ObjectiveIn this study, we aim to determine if machine learning can reduce manual smear review (MSR) rates while meeting or exceeding the performance of traditional MSR criteria.Method9938 automated CBCs with paired MSRs were performed on samples from rhesus and cynomolgus macaques. The definition of a positive (abnormal) smear was determined. Two expert‐derived MSR criteria were created: criteria adapted from published, standardized human laboratory criteria (Adapted International Consensus Guidelines[aICG]) and internally generated criteria (Center Consensus Guidelines [CCG]). An ensemble machine learning model was trained on an independent subset of the data to optimize the balanced accuracy of classification, a combined measure of sensitivity and specificity. The resulting machine learning model and the two expert‐derived MSR criteria were applied to a test dataset, and their performance compared.ResultsaICG criteria demonstrated high sensitivity (80.8%) and MSR rate (74.2%) while CCG criteria demonstrated lower sensitivity (57.1%) and MSR rate (36.1%). The machine learning model integrated with CCG criteria had a superior combination of both sensitivity (76.8%) and MSR rate (45.1%) achieving a false negative rate of 1.6%.ConclusionMachine learning in combination with expert‐derived criteria can optimize the selection of samples for MSR thus decreasing MSR rates and labor efforts required for CBC performance.
Experimental Study on the Performance of Biohythane Combustion in a Porous Radiant Burner Operated on Submerged Mode
Authors: Dash Kishan , Acharya Saroj Kumar , Samantaray Sikata 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Present energy consumption and environmental conditions have motivated researchers to explore renewable and alternative energy sources for cooking. Biohythane is a renewable fuel, that can be prepared by purifying biomethane and biohydrogen along with CO2, generated from the anaerobic digestion of biological sources like food waste and cow dung. The current research aims to analyze the combustion performances of biohythane in a double-layered porous radiant burner (PRB) made of silicon carbide and ceramic matrix. The experiment was conducted in the PRB by varying the input fuel range (thermal load) of 200–400 kW/m2, and the biohydrogen percentage of 5–20 in the biohythane for lean fuel–air mixture conditions. It was observed that the PRB performed steadily within the equivalence ratio of 0.55–0.76 and offered radiation efficiency of 41.39–89.93%, CO of 11–84 ppm, and NOX of 4–6.1 ppm. As the biohydrogen percentage increases from 5–20 in the biohythane, the temperature, radiation efficiency, and NOX have increased but the CO has decreased. Further, the temperature and NOX emission have increased due to the increase in thermal load and equivalence ratio, but the CO emission has increased with the increase in thermal load only and decreased due to the increase in equivalence ratio in the PRB. Moreover, the radiation efficiency has increased due to the increase in equivalence ratio only. Overall, the PRB offers efficient combustion of biohythane in the range of a low fuel–air combination.
Time-Dependent Wave Motion in a Running Stream Due to Initial Disturbances in Magnetohydrodynamics

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The generation of two-dimensional time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic surface waves in a flowing stream is investigated in this paper. The waves here arise from some initial disturbances at the free surface of an electrically conducting field-free fluid, which is of finite depth. It is also assumed that a constant magnetic field exists outside the air–water interface. With the help of linearized theory, the present problem is modeled as an initial boundary value problem, and the Laplace–Fourier transform techniques are primarily used to obtain the form of free surface elevation through infinite integrals. These integrals are then interpreted asymptotically for large time t and distance x from the origin, using the method of stationary phase. Dispersion relation, phase, and group velocities are also studied. Numerical results of the asymptotic form of free surface elevation are obtained in a number of figures for different values of current speed, Alfven velocity, and various types of initial disturbances. Graphical representations demonstrate that the presence of a magnetic field has a significant effect on wave motion.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study numerically examines the performance of a building-integrated semitransparent photovoltaic thermal (BiSPVT) façade in Srinagar, India's weather conditions. The primary objective is to explore the façade's potential to reduce building energy consumption while enhancing the electrical efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) modules by effectively cooling their surfaces through adjacent air circulation. A 1-D thermal model, implemented in matlab, analyzes the façade's performance under distinct weather conditions: clear day, hazy day, hazy and cloudy day, and fully cloudy day. The assessment of climatic conditions considers their impact on both building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) cell temperature and the annual energy output in a steady-state, considering the fluctuations in thermal losses. Results reveal the highest electrical efficiency of 18.9% and an overall thermal efficiency of 57.58% in January. Annually, the BiSPVT façade system generated 121.22 kWh/m2 of electrical energy, 61.06 kWh/m2 of thermal energy, 366.23 kWh/m2 of overall thermal energy, and 122.36 kWh/m2 of useful exergy. These findings offer insight into the reduction in the utilization of conventional sources of energy due to sustainable building design and renewable energy utilization.
Rapid and accurate testing for urinary tract infection: new clothes for the emperor
Authors: Moreland Robert B. , Brubaker Linda , Tinawi Lana , Wolfe Alan J. 
Published: December 2024

SUMMARY
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is among the most common infections in clinical practice. In some cases, if left untreated, it can lead to pyelonephritis and urosepsis. In other cases, UTI resolves without treatment. Clinical diagnosis is typically based on patient symptoms and/or urinalysis, including urine dipsticks. The standard urine culture method is sometimes employed to identify the suspected urinary pathogen (uropathogen) and/or guide antimicrobial choice, but results are rarely available before 24 h. The standard urine culture method also misses fastidious, anaerobic, and slow-growing uropathogens and rarely reports polymicrobial infections. The unexplained combination of negative urine cultures with persistent urinary tract symptoms is distressing to both patients and clinicians. Given the broad appreciation of the advantages provided by rapid testing (e.g., for COVID-19 or influenza A), a rapid, accurate diagnostic test is needed to deliver timely treatment to patients seeking care for UTI that optimizes antibiotic stewardship. Herein, we discuss progress being made toward an accessible, timely (i.e., within hours), accurate assay with results that are clinically useful for the treating clinician within the timeframe of the infection (i.e., the growth rate of the pathogen(s)). New and emerging uropathogens often overlooked by current diagnostic techniques are also reviewed.

Abstract
Quite often, conception of a child occurs after consuming small doses of alcohol. However, effect of this factor on offspring has not been studied at all. The aim of this study was to examine the level of motor activity, anxiety-like and depressive-like behavior, sensitivity to analgesic effect of ethanol, as well as activity of the enzymes DPP-IV, PEP, and ADG in the blood of rats whose fathers received ethanol immediately before mating. As a result of the conducted experiments, it was found that the males conceived by the intoxicated fathers have significant differences in behavior compared to control animals. Thus, motor activity in the rats conceived by males under the influence of alcohol was 2-2.5 times less intense; they exhibited decreased severity of the anxiety-like and depressive-like behavior. In such animals, activity of DPP-IV and ADG was increased and activity of PEP in the blood was reduced. In the rats conceived by the fathers under the influence of alcohol, analgesic effect of ethanol was decreased, and there was also reduction in response of the activities of ADG, DPP-IV, and PEP enzymes to ethanol administration. It is assumed that a single use of ethanol by male rats immediately before mating leads to the decrease in methylation of the paternal inherited genes in offspring. As a result, activity of a number of enzymes could change, which leads to the change in the balance of neuropeptides involved in mediation of animal behavior.
