AbstractBackground and AimsTo describe the biology of alveolar bone regeneration.Material and MethodsFour comprehensive reviews were performed on (a) mesenchymal cells and differentiation factors leading to bone formation; (b) the critical interplay between bone resorbing and formative cells; (c) the role of osteoimmunology in the formation and maintenance of alveolar bone; and (d) the self‐regenerative capacity following bone injury or tooth extraction were prepared prior to the workshop.Results and ConclusionsThis summary information adds to the fuller understanding of the alveolar bone regenerative response with implications to reconstructive procedures for patient oral rehabilitation. The group collectively formulated and addressed critical questions based on each of the reviews in this consensus report to advance the field. The report concludes with identified areas of future research.

AbstractBackgroundThe transition from a tooth requiring extraction to its replacement (with a dental implant) requires a series of clinical decisions related to timing, approach, materials, cost‐effectiveness and the assessment of potential harm and patient preference. This workshop focused on the formulation of evidence‐based consensus statements and clinical recommendations.MethodsFour systematic reviews covering the areas of alveolar ridge preservation/bone grafting, immediate early and delayed implant placement and alveolar bone augmentation at the time of implant placement in a healed ridge formed the basis of the deliberations. The level of evidence supporting each consensus statement and its strength was described using a modification of the GRADE tool.ResultsThe evidence base for each of the relevant topics was assessed and summarized in 23 consensus statements and 12 specific clinical recommendations. The group emphasized that the evidence base mostly relates to single tooth extraction/replacement; hence, external validity/applicability to multiple extractions requires careful consideration. The group identified six considerations that should assist clinicians in clinical decision‐making: presence of infection, inability to achieve primary stability in the restoratively driven position, presence of a damaged alveolus, periodontal phenotype, aesthetic demands and systemic conditions.ConclusionsA substantial and expanding evidence base is available to assist clinicians with clinical decision‐making related to the transition from a tooth requiring extraction to its replacement with a dental implant. More high‐quality research is needed for the development of evidence‐based clinical guidelines.

AbstractThe larvae of Hermetia illucens are known to successfully bio‐convert a vast range of organic substrates into high protein and fat biomass, but little is known about the larval instars. During this research, larval head capsules and biomass growth were measured daily and the specific metabolic rate of larger instars were considered. The head capsule measurements revealed that H. illucens pass through 6 actively feeding larval stadia before entering the last nonfeeding but migrating 7th stadium. Larval growth follows a sigmoid curve with slowly accelerating growth in the earlier stadia and decelerating growth in the latest stadia. In contrast, development was fast until reaching stadium 6 and then slowed down. Accordingly, the specific metabolic rate was high in instars 3, 4 and 5 and reduced in instars 6 and 7.

Published: June 2019

AbstractSpecies‐specific disturbance calls of five commercially‐important characiform species are described, the Curimatidae commonly called branquinhas: Potamorhina latior, Potamorhina altamazonica and Psectrogaster amazonica; Prochilodontidae: jaraquí Semaprochilodus insignis and curimatã Prochilodus nigricans. All species have a two‐chambered swimbladder and the sonic mechanism, present exclusively in males, utilises hypertrophied red muscles between ribs that adhere to the anterior chamber. The number of muscles is unusually plastic across species and varies from 1 to 4 pairs suggesting considerable evolution in an otherwise conservative system. Advertisement calls are produced in river confluences in the Madeira Basin during the high‐water mating season (January–February). Disturbance calls and sampling allowed recognition of underwater advertisement choruses from P. latior, S. insignis and P. nigricans. The advertisement calls of the first two species have largely similar characteristics and they mate in partially overlapping areas in the Guaporé River. However, P. latior sounds have a lower dominant frequency and it prefers to call from river confluences whereas S. insignis shoals occur mostly in the main river channel adjacent to the confluence. These results help identify and differentiate underwater sounds and evaluate breeding areas during the courtship of commercially important characids likely to be affected by two hydroelectric dams.

AbstractAimThis study examined the effects of a conscious sedation dressing on pain and anxiety in pediatric patients with burns.MethodsThis was a quasi‐experimental study, using a nonequivalent control group. Using convenience sampling, the participants were assigned to two groups, an experimental group (n = 10), which comprised children who received a conscious sedation dressing, and a control group (n = 13), which comprised children who received general dressing care. To minimize the risk of contamination between the two groups, the sampling was sequentially performed.ResultsThe children in the experimental group showed significantly lower levels of pain (U = 3.29, d = 1.00, P = .003) and physiological responses, as evidenced by lower systolic blood pressures, diastolic blood pressures, pulse rates, and respiratory rates than the control group (systolic blood pressures: t = 5. 05, d = 1.22, P < .001; diastolic blood pressures: t = 2.12, d = 0.93, P = .046; pulse rates: t = 2.28, d = 1.00, P = .033; and respiratory rates: t = 2.47, d = 1.09, P = .022).ConclusionThe application of a conscious sedation dressing may alleviate pain and anxiety for pediatric burn patients.

AbstractAims and objectiveTo describe the prevalence and predictors of pressure injuries among older adults with limited mobility, within the first 36 hr of their hospital admission in Australia.BackgroundPressure injuries are significant health, safety and quality of care issues for patients and healthcare organisations. The early implementation of the recommended pressure injury prevention international clinical practice guidelines is a way to reduce hospital‐acquired pressure injuries. There is a paucity of evidence on the number of older persons who are admitted hospital with a pre‐existing pressure injury.DesignProspective correlational study conducted in eight tertiary referral hospitals across Australia. Our sample comprised of 1,047 participants aged ≥65 years with limited mobility, drawn from a larger Australian pragmatic cluster randomised trial.MethodsUsing the STROBE statement, observational data were collected on participants’ age, gender, presence of a pressure injury, Body Mass Index score, number of comorbidities and place of residence. These variables were analysed as potential predictors for pressure injuries within the first 36 hr of hospitalisation.ResultsFrom our sample, 113/1047 (10.8%) participants were observed to have a pressure injury within the first 36 hr of hospital admission. Age, multiple comorbidities and living in an aged care facility predicted the prevalence of pressure injury among older people within the first 36 hr of hospitalisation.ConclusionsOur findings confirm that older adults, those with multiple comorbidities and individuals living in aged care facilities are more likely to come to hospital with a pre‐existing pressure injury or develop one soon after admission.Relevance to clinical practiceMany older patients come to hospital with a community‐acquired pressure injury or develop a pressure injury soon after admission. This highlights the importance of the early detection of pressure injuries among older persons so that timely management strategies can be implemented along with the potential to reduce unnecessary financial penalties.

AbstractAims and objectivesTo compare the communication and practice experiences of migrant nurses in geographically distant, culturally dissimilar countries in Eastern and Western contexts.BackgroundConsiderable research has focused on the experience of acculturation of migrant nurses into geographically diverse locations. However, there remains scant comparative research which considers the ways in which migrant nurses interpret their experience through making “sense” of events encountered in their practice.DesignAn exploratory qualitative study was conducted using face‐to‐face interviews with 36 migrant nurses currently practising in New Zealand and 20 migrant nurses practising in the United Arab Emirates.MethodsThe same question schedule was used to explore influences on communication and practice in both settings. Thematic analysis and sensemaking theory guided coding and analysis of data. COREQ guidelines informed the reporting of qualitative data.ResultsQualitative analysis resulted in five representative themes, three illustrating similarities across diverse cultures and two that demonstrate the differences migrant nurses require to navigate across contrasting cultural environments successfully.ConclusionCultural value‐based differences in both locales caused both systemic and interpersonal sensemaking challenges for migrant nurses that emphasise the importance of orientation and education programmes for internationally qualified nurses. However, cultural conflicts also exist within groups. Orientation programmes should address culturally patterned responses among different groups of internationally qualified nurses.Relevance to clinical practiceFindings demonstrate a need for migrant nurses to be willing to embrace ambiguity in order to acculturate into a collaborative team culture in each of the geographical locations in this study. As registered nurses (RNs) also carry their cultural imprint, orientation interventions targeting the cultural variations of nurses in less standardised orientation programmes may be more beneficial in enhancing acculturation and in turn, staff retention.

AbstractAimAlthough the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) is widely used for screening for post‐partum depression (PPD), screening time point and cut‐off value in the current medical environment are not sufficiently examined. In this study, we examined appropriate timing and cut‐off value of EPDS for the diagnostic criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition.MethodsThis study was a prospective cohort study of women who delivered at the Iwate Medical University Hospital from August 2016 to February 2019. The EPDS self‐assessment was conducted at 4 days and at 1 month after delivery (4D‐EPDS and 1M‐EPDS), and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies‐Depression scale (CES‐D) self‐assessment was conducted at 1 month after delivery (1M‐CES‐D) in eligible patients and the scores were tabulated. Participants were interviewed by a psychiatric specialist to identify PPD within 2 months after delivery. For each screening, a receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to calculate the cut‐off value for PPD. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and correct diagnostic rate were evaluated.ResultsOf the 80 post‐partum women, PPD was found in nine cases (11.3%). The cut‐off values for PPD were ≥10 for 4D‐EPDS, ≥13 for 1M‐EPDS and ≥21 for 1M‐CES‐D. No significant difference was found in the sensitivity, positive predictive value or negative predictive value among the three screening methods. However, a significant difference was found in the specificity, and the correct diagnosis rate and these values were relatively higher in 1M‐EPDS.ConclusionBased on the result of this Japanese cohort, 1M‐EPDS with a cut‐off value of ≥13 might be appropriate for PPD screening although that of ≥9 is currently employed.

AbstractObjectivesTo compare the treatments used to treat dentin hypersensitivity (DH), based on its efficacy and effect duration.MethodsMedline/PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and ClinicalTrials were searched for articles published between 1 January 2008 and 14 November 2018, in English, Portuguese or Spanish, reporting clinical trials, completed and with results. This systematic review protocol was registered in PROSPERO, number CRD42019121986.ResultsSeventy‐four randomised clinical trials were included in the systematic review, reporting patients from 16 to 65 years old, with a clinical diagnosis of DH, that evaluate the efficacy of a desensitising product, compared to pre‐treatment, used the evaporative method stimulation and the visual analogue scale. These studies evaluated 5366 patients and at least 9167 teeth. Seven follow‐up periods were considered corresponding to an immediate, medium or long‐time effect. Sixty‐six studies were included in the quantitative synthesis. Glutaraldehyde with HEMA, glass ionomer cements and Laser present significant immediate (until 7 days) DH reduction. Medium‐term (until 1 month) reduction was observed in stannous fluoride, glutaraldehyde with HEMA, hydroxyapatite, glass ionomer cements and Laser groups. Finally, long‐term significant reduction was seen at potassium nitrate, arginine, glutaraldehyde with HEMA, hydroxyapatite, adhesive systems, glass ionomer cements and LASER.ConclusionsAll active ingredients show efficacy in DH reduction in different follow‐up times. Only in‐office treatments are effective in immediate DH reduction, maintaining its efficacy over time. For long‐time effects, at‐home treatments can also be used. More standardised evaluation protocols should be implemented to increase the robustly of the results.

AbstractMigrants to Thailand come from low‐income border countries, such as Burma (Myanmar). Generally, migrant women experience difficulties obtaining high‐quality health care due to socioeconomic barriers and conflicts with their practices. The aim of this study was to explore migrant Burmese women's experiences of becoming a mother while living in Thailand and their perceptions of motherhood, family support, and traditional postpartum practices. The study used an ethnographic design. In 2015, data were gathered through individual interviews with 10 migrant Burmese women before and after birth. Interview and field note data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Four themes emerged from the data: (i) the more children, the stronger the family; (ii) finding ways to promote baby's health and growth; (iii) sharing responsibility to fulfill parenting role; and (iv) peer and family support. Becoming a mother was important to the Burmese women interviewed; however, as migrants in Thailand, they had to juggle work and care for young children. Most decided that once their child was school age they would be sent to Burma to live with relatives. They engaged in a range of traditional practices to support their infant's health and well‐being and protect their baby from evil spirits. Support from family, and the ability to participate in postpartum practices, were important for Burmese migrant women becoming mothers in Thailand.

Summary

Biomass and area ratios between leaves, stems and roots regulate many physiological and ecological processes. The Huber value Hv (sapwood area/leaf area ratio) is central to plant water balance and drought responses. However, its coordination with key plant functional traits is poorly understood, and prevents developing trait‐based prediction models.

Based on theoretical arguments, we hypothesise that global patterns in Hv of terminal woody branches can be predicted from variables related to plant trait spectra, that is plant hydraulics and size and leaf economics.

Using a global compilation of 1135 species‐averaged Hv, we show that Hv varies over three orders of magnitude. Higher Hv are seen in short small‐leaved low‐specific leaf area (SLA) shrubs with low Ks in arid relative to tall large‐leaved high‐SLA trees with high Ks in moist environments. All traits depend on climate but climatic correlations are stronger for explanatory traits than Hv. Negative isometry is found between Hv and Ks, suggesting a compensation to maintain hydraulic supply to leaves across species.

This work identifies the major global drivers of branch sapwood/leaf area ratios. Our approach based on widely available traits facilitates the development of accurate models of above‐ground biomass allocation and helps predict vegetation responses to drought.

Published: June 2019

AbstractBackgroundMaintenance of sinus rhythm after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with left atrial (LA) and ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling, although the degree varies among individuals. We hypothesized that frequent premature atrial complex (PAC) after PVI may attenuate the left heart reverse remodeling benefited from maintenance of sinus rhythm.MethodsWe included 82 AF patients who underwent first‐time PVI and 24‐h Holter recordings at 6 months after PVI. All patients had no AF recurrence before this time. The number of PAC was categorized into tertiles: <90, 90‐488 and >488 PACs/day. All patients underwent two‐dimensional echocardiography and serum plasma B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) measurement before and 6 months after PVI. LA reverse remodeling was defined as ≥15% decrease in LA volume index.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the baseline characteristics among the PAC tertiles except for sex. Six months after PVI, LA volume index, LV mass index, and serum BNP levels were significantly decreased in lower and middle PAC tertiles (all P < .05), whereas no significant changes were observed in upper PAC tertile. Frequency of LA reverse remodeling was significantly lower in upper tertile of PAC compared with middle and lower tertiles (22.2%, 57.1%, and 59.3%, P < .001). Baseline LA volume index, changes in LV mass index, and the frequency of PAC were independently associated with LA reverse remodeling (all P < .05).ConclusionsFrequent PAC after PVI was associated with less left heart reverse remodeling in AF patients even without AF recurrence.

AbstractChildren receiving a LDLT have superior post‐transplant outcomes, but this procedure is only used for 10% of transplant recipients. Better understanding about barriers toward LDLT and the sociodemographic characteristics that influence these underlying mechanisms would help to inform strategies to increase its use. We conducted an online, anonymous survey of parents/caregivers for children awaiting, or have received, a liver transplant regarding their knowledge and attitudes about LDLT. The survey was completed by 217 respondents. While 97% of respondents understood an individual could donate a portion of their liver, only 72% knew the steps in evaluation, and 69% understood the donor surgery was covered by the recipient's insurance. Individuals with public insurance were less likely than those with private insurance to know the steps for LDLT evaluation (44% vs 82%; P < 0.001). Respondents with public insurance were less likely to know someone that had been a living donor (44% vs 56%; P = 0.005) as were individuals without a college degree (64% vs 85%; P = 0.007). Nearly all respondents generally trusted their healthcare team. Among respondents, 82% believed they were well‐informed about LDLT but individuals with public insurance were significantly less likely to feel well‐informed (67% vs 87%; P = 0.03) and to understand how donor surgery might impact donor work/time off (44% vs 81%; P = 0.001). Substantial gaps exist in parental understanding about LDLT, including its evaluation, potential benefits, and complications. Greater emphasis on addressing these barriers, especially to individuals with fewer resources, will be helpful to expand the use of LDLT.
