INTRODUCTION:
Gastroparesis is a debilitating gastroduodenal disorder for which gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (GPOEM) has emerged as an efficacious treatment option. However, response to GPOEM varies between 50% and 80%, such that preoperative predictors of treatment success are needed to guide patient selection.

METHODS:
We performed a systematic review to identify predictors of clinical and functional response to GPOEM among adult patients with gastroparesis (PROSPERO: CRD42023457359). MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL databases were searched systematically for studies reporting outcomes after GPOEM in September 2023. A narrative synthesis of predictive factors on univariable and multivariable analysis was performed with consideration of response rates through meta-analysis and evaluation of discrimination if prognostic models were developed. Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies - of Exposures (ROBINS-E) was used for risk of bias assessment.

RESULTS:
Of 1899 articles reviewed, 30 were included. The GPOEM response rate was 63.1% (95% confidence interval 56.3%–69.5%) with most studies defining clinical success on the basis of improvement in gastroparesis cardinal symptom index (87%, 26/30). Older age, shorter duration of gastroparesis, nondiabetic etiology, lower body mass index, and response to intrapyloric botulinum toxin were associated with positive response to GPOEM on multivariable analyses. Predictors on physiological tests such as EndoFLIP or gastric emptying scintigraphy were inconsistent. No prognostic models underwent external validation.

DISCUSSION:
Currently, there are limited reproducible predictors of response to GPOEM among patients with refractory gastroparesis. Robust prospective studies investigating scalable, reproducible, and actionable biomarkers of treatment response are required.

AbstractPeripheral nerve damage can cause debilitating symptoms ranging from numbness and pain to sensory loss and atrophy. To uncover the underlying mechanisms of peripheral nerve injury, our research aims to develop a relationship between biomechanical peripheral nerve damage and function through finite element modeling. A noncontact, ex vivo electrophysiology chamber, capable of axially stretching explanted nerves while recording electrical signals, was used to investigate peripheral nerve injury. Successive stretch trials were run on eight sciatic nerves (four females and four males) excised from Sprague–Dawley rats. Nerves were stretched until 50% compound action potential (CAP) amplitude reduction was obtained. A constitutive model developed by Raghavan and Vorp was suitable for rat sciatic nerves, with an average α and β of 0.183 MPa and 1.88 MPa, respectively. We then generated 95% confidence intervals for the stretch at which specific CAP amplitude reductions would occur, which compares well to previous studies. We also developed a finite element model that can predict stretch‐induced signaling deficits, applicable for complex nerve geometries and injuries. This relationship between nerve biomechanics and function can be expanded upon to create a clinical model for peripheral nerve dysfunction due to stretch.
Lexical Complexity in Corporate Communication: A Corpus-Based Study of Translated and Non-Translated Chairman’s Statements

Published: November 2024

Abstract
This study examines the lexical complexity of translated and non-translated chairman’s statements in corporate annual reports through a corpus-based analysis. Drawing on a comprehensive corpus of English chairman’s statements, including both English translations from Chinese and original English texts from the United States and Hong Kong, we analyze various dimensions of lexical complexity. Key measures include lexical diversity, such as the number of different words (NDW) and type-token ratio (TTR) variants, lexical density, and verb sophistication. The results present a nuanced view of lexical complexity in translated texts. Translated chairman’s statements show lower complexity across NDW-related metrics, Corrected TTR, Root TTR, Bi-logarithmic TTR, Uber index, lexical word variation, verb variation, noun variation, and adverb variation. However, they display higher complexity in lexical density and verb sophistication compared to non-translated statements. These findings suggest that while translation may simplify certain aspects of vocabulary use, it can also produce more information-dense texts with more sophisticated verb usage. This paradox challenges traditional views on translation universals and underscores the intricate nature of translated corporate communications.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Average temperature in Africa has been rising steadily from the baseline of climatology prevailing during 1951–1980. The findings in this paper suggest that real GDP growth would start declining for annual temperature higher than 0.7 °C. About 45 African countries already registered annual temperature rise above 0.7 °C in 2020 underscoring the seriousness of climate change induced risks for long term growth. In addition, frequency of major natural disasters tends to exacerbate political instability and conflict. Combined, these shocks have a direct effect on the sustainability of debt. Using a simple debt dynamics framework, the paper shows that the debt-burden could increase 2.4 times due to climate change induced shocks. In addition, modelling results show that carbon pricing could be an effective way of helping to meet the Nationally Determined Contributions. However, carbon pricing would have negative impacts on energy-intensive industries and increase the prices of the goods and services they provide. There will also be job losses in these industries. The combined effect of these impacts could be reduction in GDP growth and real incomes. It is recommended that part of the revenues generated from the carbon tax could be used to address the negative impacts on vulnerable groups.

Проведен эколого-географический анализ, согласно которому альгофлора представлена бентосными видами с преобладанием индифферентных форм по отношению к галобности и активной реакции среды. В исследованном озере выявлено 152 сапробионта. В географическом отношении господствовали космополиты и бореальные виды.
For the first time, an algological study of Lake Nogaan-Khol, located in the Todzha basin of the Republic of Tyva, was carried out. The results of phytoplankton, phytobenthos and fouling are presented. A comprehensive study and identification of species composition is relevant not only from the point of view of biodiversity inventory, but for the most efficient use and protection of water bodies. 218 species, varieties and forms of algae were identified in the reservoir, belonging to 94 genera, 52 families and 8 divisions: Cyanoprokaryota (33), Bacillariophyta (124), Chrysophyta (1), Dinophyta (3), Xanthophyta (1), Euglenophyta (2), Chlorophyta (24), Charophyta (30). To assess the role of individual taxa, the frequency of occurrence was calculated. 4 groups were distinguished - especially active (with a frequency of occurrence over 75 %), highly active (74-45 %), inactive (44-15 %) and inactive (less than 15 %). The dominant complex is represented by a small set of species. Fouling groups on various substrates and benthic communities are considered. An ecogeographical analysis was carried out, according to which the algoflora is represented by benthic (33.9 %) and periphytonic (25.2 %) species, with a predominance of indifferent (70.2 %) forms in relation to the halicity and active reaction of the environment (48.2 %). In the studied lake, 152 species-indicators of saprobity were identified. Marked indicators of all zones of saprobity, except for polysaprobic. Inhabitants of very clean (x - xenosaprobe) and highly saprobic (a - mesosaprobe) waters are represented by a small number of taxa - 5 and 6, respectively. Geographically, cosmopolitans (54.1 %) and boreal (26.6 %) species dominated. The purpose of the study was to determine the species composition and ecological state of the waters of the Nogaan-Khol lake.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
V P and VS models have been obtained for the lithosphere of Chinese continent by tomography of body-wave travel times, surface-wave data, and joint inversion of surface- and body-wave data. However, the VP/VS ratio model derived directly from them shows unphysical values, indicating internal inconsistency of model resolutions and uncertainties. In this study, we use P- and S-wave first arrival times for phases Pg, Pn, P, Sg, Sn, and S from regional earthquakes at 1294 permanent seismic stations in China and directly invert for a new 3D VP/VS model (USTClitho1.0k). Resolution analysis indicates that the obtained VP/VS ratio model has a 2° horizontal spatial resolution down to 100 km in most of Chinese continent. Overall, there is a good agreement between the crustal VP/VS images and the surface geologic features. The Songliao, Sichuan, and North China basins all show high VP/VS values. In contrast, the Tarim basin exhibits low VP/VS values. The Qilian fold belt, Tibetan Plateau, and the Tanlu fault zone in eastern China exhibit lower VP/VS features. High VP/VS values are present in the middle-lower crust and uppermost mantle beneath the Tienshan orogenic belt, the Qiangtang block, the Songpan–Ganzi block, and the eastern part of continental China. There are local high VP/VS anomalies in the middle crust beneath some volcanoes such as Datong, Tengchong, and Changbaishan. In addition, the uppermost mantle is generally associated with high VP/VS values. Our VP/VS model is consistent with many other studies and may be useful for future geoscience studies in the China region.

Published: November 2024

The consolidation of social media as a medium of information and social mobilisation reinforces the importance of using this resource to base advocacy strategies undertaken by legal clinics, especially those regarding human rights education aimed at elucidating concrete issues that are dear to democracy. This research intends to identify, describe, and discuss the main challenges related to communication on human rights by legal clinics, based on the experience developed at the Paraná’s Federal University Human Rights Clinic (CDH/UFPR). If, in theory, Instagram had proved to be the most pertinent tool for disseminating research — even considering the digital exclusion of a significant quantity of Brazilians — the experience revealed the first major challenge to be the incongruity between the parameters governing the algorithmics functioning in the app and the academic and scientific nature of the clinic’s content. By subverting and re-signifying a space governed by market interests — that impose themselves every day as a communication hub — we sought to promote the dissemination of evidence-based scientific knowledge to our channel's community of followers. In which we paid special attention to the adaptation of legal and technical language to a more accessible approach while still preserving the quality of the information being disseminated; the efforts to ensure knowledge transit and theoretical alignment in a team made up of researchers from different areas; the need to involve third parties in collaborating on the joint production of publications; and, finally, obstacles related to the scarcity of financial resources and project management.

Anterior Glenohumeral Instability
Authors: Marcaccio Stephen E. , Kaarre Janina , Steuer Fritz , Herman Zachary J. , Lin Albert 
Published: November 2024

➢ Anterior glenohumeral instability is a complex orthopaedic problem that requires a detailed history, a thorough physical examination, and a meticulous review of advanced imaging in order to make individualized treatment decisions and optimize patient outcomes.➢ Nonoperative management of primary instability events can be considered in low-demand patients, including elderly individuals or younger, recreational athletes not participating in high-risk activities, and select in-season athletes. Recurrence can result in increased severity of soft-tissue and osseous damage, further increasing the complexity of subsequent surgical management.➢ Surgical stabilization following primary anterior instability is recommended in young athletes who have additional risk factors for failure, including participation in high-risk sports, hyperlaxity, and presence of bipolar bone loss, defined as the presence of both glenoid (anteroinferior glenoid) and humeral head (Hill-Sachs deformity) bone loss.➢ Several surgical treatment options exist, including arthroscopic Bankart repair with or without additional procedures such as remplissage, open Bankart repair, and osseous restoration procedures, including the Latarjet procedure.➢ Favorable results can be expected following arthroscopic Bankart repair with minimal (<13.5%) bone loss and on-track Hill-Sachs lesions following a primary instability event. However, adjunct procedures such as remplissage should be performed for off-track lesions and should be considered in the setting of subcritical glenoid bone loss, select high-risk patients, and near-track lesions.➢ Bone-grafting of anterior glenoid defects, including autograft and allograft options, should be considered in cases with >20% glenoid bone loss.
The rural elderly's perception of the decline in intrinsic capacity and their needs for intervention: a qualitative study

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Backgronud:The decline in intrinsic capacity is widespread among the elderly in rural areas.This study explored the cognitive and intervention needs of the decline in intrinsic capacity among rural elderly individuals from the perspective of the Social-Ecological Systems Theory.
Methods: 14 rural elderly individuals in Dongfeng Village, Daqing City, China, were selected for semi-structured interviews from September to December 2023. The interview recordings were transcribed by the research team, and transcripts were analyzed by two independent coders with Colaizzi's descriptive analysis framework. The process employed NVivo 12 software.
Findings: Three themes were extracted regarding the cognitive and intervention needs for the decline in intrinsic capacity among rural elderly individuals. Microsystem: The needs for intervention content of intrinsic capacity (knowledge needs; promotion motivation). Mesosystem: The needs for health behaviors (family involvement needs; neighborhood companionship needs). Macrosystem: The need for social and information support (social support needs; scientific and systematic health promotion information needs; diverse information formats).
Conclusion: The rural elderly have insufficient awareness of intrinsic capacity and intervention, with intervention participation influenced by various factors. The needs for intrinsic capacity intervention are multidimensional and require targeted programs based on the facilitators and barriers of intervention to meet the needs of rural elderly individuals for intrinsic capacity intervention.
Characteristic Earthquake Recurrence and Time-Dependent Seismic Hazard Modeling for the North and East Anatolian Faults
Authors: Koca Cem , Şeşetyan Karin 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Until now, many probabilistic seismic hazard analyses (PSHA) have been conducted for Turkey. However, except in a limited number of cases, characteristic fault source modeling was not used. Since the North and East Anatolian Faults (NAF and EAF) tend to rupture in characteristic earthquakes, the first objective of this research is to develop a sound hybrid characteristic recurrence model for the NAF and EAF. The so-called hybrid model involves a composite characteristic model (i.e., an exponential part for the smaller and a characteristic part for larger magnitudes) developed for each segment combined with a characteristic recurrence proposed for multi-segment ruptures. Two different hybrid earthquake recurrence models are developed with time-independent (or Poissonian) and time-dependent (or renewal) characteristics. The North Anatolian Fault has also been known for its capacity to generate multi-segment ruptures, evidenced in the 20th century by the 1939 Erzincan and the 1999 Kocaeli earthquakes. The EAF, on the other hand, had not produced any multi-segment rupture in the recent past. The occurrence of the February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaraş-Pazarcık earthquake (Mw 7.8, rupture length of 350 km) shed new light on the earthquake hazard-related analyses of this fault zone. In the present study which also allows for multi-segment ruptures on both faults, the effects of characteristic modeling, as well as those of seismic gaps along the NAF and EAF on seismic hazard are assessed, including a pre- and post-2023 modeling comparison for the EAF. The model also allows for evaluating the results of the fully exponential model of the NAF and EAF, which usually produces an overestimated seismic hazard compared to the Poissonian hybrid model. Slip deficits on some fault segments can increase the seismic hazard dramatically. Although the overestimated results of the fully exponential model can compensate for the high hazard based on the renewal model, the time-dependent hazard may exceed the hazard obtained in the fully exponential model. If there is a huge seismic gap along a fault, a renewal seismic hazard model should be developed to handle the worst case. In any case, the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake has also shown that modeling for the really (even inconceivably) big one is never an overestimation, especially for the major plate-boundary faults.
