AbstractBackgroundRegional citrate anticoagulation‐continuous renal replacement therapy (RCA‐CRRT) has a wide range of applications in clinical practice, but unplanned downtime due to RCA‐CRRT circuit coagulation is as high as 15.75%–66.70%.AimTo build a nomogram model for predicting the lifespan circuits of RCA‐CRRT.Study designA prospective observational cohort study was conducted in Sichuan, China. The collected clinical data from 404 RCA‐CRRT sessions involving 135 patients were utilized. The patients' basic information, laboratory indicators and RCA‐CRRT parameters were used as independent variables, and the survival status and survival time of RCA‐CRRT circuits were used as dependent variables. A Cox multivariate analysis was performed to build the nomogram model for predicting the lifespan of RCA‐CRRT circuits. The model was validated internally and externally.ResultsThe median lifespan of RCA‐CRRT circuits was 28.0 (12.0–46.5) h, and the unplanned downtime rate was 23.76%. In the Cox multivariate analysis, venous pressure, haemoglobin, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), lactate, and blood transfusion were identified as statistically significant predictive factors for the lifespan of RCA‐CRRT circuits (p < .05). Subsequently, a nomogram model for predicting the lifespan of RCA‐CRRT circuits was developed. The AUC values for internal and external validation within the 12–72‐h timeframe ranged from 0.648 to 0.816 and 0.613 to 0.956, respectively. Both the calibration curve and clinical decision curve demonstrated the model's good performance.ConclusionThe nomogram model developed in this study demonstrates its efficacy in accurately predicting the lifespan circuits of RCA‐CRRT.Relevance to Clinical PracticeClinical nurses can use the prediction model to assess the lifespan of RCA‐CRRT circuits, so as to formulate a personalized RCA‐CRRT treatment plan for patients, thus reducing the unplanned downtime of RCA‐CRRT.

AbstractObjectiveCorrelate dimensions of the maxillary sinus and nasal cavity, in addition to evaluate their implications for the implants insertion in the maxilla posterior region.Materials and MethodsCross‐sectional tomographic study of 58 totally edentulous adult patients, totaling 116 maxillary sinuses. The RadiAnt DICOM Viewer™ 2020.2 (64‐bit) software was used to measure basal/alveolar widths and maxillary length, in addition to linear distances from the maxillary sinus and nasal cavity to calculate volumes.ResultsThere was no significant correlation between the maxillary sinus nasal cavity volumes (ρ = 0.048/p = 0.609). The volume of the nasal cavity showed a significant difference between genders (p = 0.007), bigger in males. Greater alveolar and basal maxillary widths correlated with greater maxillary sinus volume. Maxilla length was significantly correlated with nasal cavity volume (ρ = 0.425/p < 0.001). Sinus membrane thickness was not significantly associated with maxillary sinus volume. There was no significant correlation between sinus thickness lateral wall and sinus membrane thickness.ConclusionMaxillary sinus volume did not present a significant correlation with nasal cavity volume and no correlation was found between these volumes and the age factor. Tomographic analysis of the maxillary sinus is the most reliable resource for the rehabilitation planning of the posterior region of the maxilla.
Identification of Two Amylases for Construction of Pollen‐Inactivation System in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTA critical requirement for exploiting heterosis is the production of an adequate number of male‐sterile female plants that will be further used for production of hybrid F1 seeds by outcrossing with the fertile male parent. Seed production technology (SPT) is a recently developed technology that enables mass production of male‐sterile female parents. SPT is constructed by transformation of a recessive nuclear male‐sterile mutant with a transgenic cassette consisting of three functional modules: a wild‐type gene to restore the fertility of the male‐sterile mutant, a pollen‐killer gene to destroy the pollen grains carrying the transgene and a seed marker gene to distinguish the transgenic seeds from the non‐transgenic seeds. Previous research demonstrated that the maize α‐amylase gene (ZM‐AA1), when linked to the maize polygalacturonase gene (PG47) promoter and brittle‐1 gene (BT1) signal peptide, can effectively disrupt pollen fertility by preventing the starch granule formation in pollen grains. To identify additional amylase genes that can be used for construction of the SPT system in rice, we conducted a BLAST search for amylase genes in rice and maize and tested three candidates: the rice amylase gene OsAA1, OsAA2 and the maize amylase gene ZM‐AA2. We found that OsAA1 and ZM‐AA2, when linked to the PG47 promoter and BT1 signal peptide, were capable of destroying transgenic pollen grains, while OsAA2 lacked this function. Bioinformatics analyses, including protein domain, sequence conservation and phylogenetic studies, revealed that OsAA1 and ZM‐AA2 share structural similarity with ZM‐AA1 whereas OsAA2 exhibited significant differences from ZM‐AA1 in structure and sequence. OsAA1 and ZM‐AA2 identified in this study provide valuable tools for genetic engineering of rice male sterility systems for hybrid rice breeding and production.
Revisiting the Schooling Inputs Debate: Experimental Evidence From an Early Grade Literacy Intervention in Lao PDR

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTDespite the importance of interventions focused on schooling inputs, such as teacher training and provision of reading materials, there is mixed evidence on their impacts on the intensive margin of schooling. In this context, we provide evidence from a randomized controlled trial of a schooling intervention in Lao PDR, which focused on a combination of literacy activities, including teacher training, provision of reading materials, and community engagement in children's education. We show that the 2‐year effect of the literacy activities led to significant improvements in basic and foundational literacy skills for Grade 2 students in Lao PDR. We provide suggestive evidence that improvements in school environment (including more frequent engaging activities in the classroom by the teacher) and improvements in home literacy environment (such as encouraging children to read) play a key role in students' higher literacy outcomes.
Exclusionist reactions during the COVID‐19 pandemic: Chinese, Japanese, and South Korean citizens’ support for border restriction
Authors: Zhai Yida 
Published: November 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe COVID‐19 pandemic has fueled exclusionist attitudes toward various outgroup minorities. This study examines the support among Chinese, Japanese, and South Korean citizens for restrictions on the entry of foreigners and fellow citizens living abroad during the pandemic.MethodCross‐national surveys were conducted using quota sampling.ResultsThe results showed that the citizens of all three countries supported border restrictions, and this tendency was the strongest in China. Nationalist and authoritarian orientations were positively associated with the exclusion of foreigners and fellow citizens abroad in all three countries, revealing their universal impact. Social trust and beliefs in a country's capacity to deal with crises were expected to be negatively associated with exclusionism. This negative relationship was only confirmed in Japan and South Korea.ConclusionWe discuss the possible reasons for the exceptional case of China and contextual factors that affect interventions for mitigating exclusionism.

AbstractTropical and subtropical soils typically have high acidity and limited nutrient availability. Surface liming under no‐till systems ameliorates topsoil acidity in the short term, but it is generally slow to neutralize subsoil acidity. A field experiment was conducted in the period from 2016 to 2021 in Parana State, Brazil, on a loamy, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Hapludox to evaluate the effects of surface application of lime combined with the use of monoammonium phosphate (MAP) and elemental S on soil acidity, root growth, plant nutrition and grain yields of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and soybean (Glycine max. [L.] Merr.) under no‐till. Treatments consisted of a control (no amendments), surface lime (SL), SL + MAP and SL + MAP + elemental S. Applying lime to the soil surface increased soil pH, exchangeable Ca2+ and Mg2+ contents and base saturation, as well as reducing Al3+ content and Al3+ saturation throughout the soil profile. Such effects were more pronounced in the 0–10 cm layer and occurred to a lesser extent in the 10–100 cm layers. The addition of MAP or MAP + elemental S did not improve the effectiveness of surface liming in alleviating soil acidity throughout the soil profile. The root length per soil surface area to a depth of 100 cm exhibited a strong correlation with wheat yield, but not with soybean yield. Surface liming increased wheat yield by 40% and when lime application was combined with MAP + elemental S, the increase in wheat yield reached 74%. Surface liming resulted in a 36% increase in soybean yield, regardless of the use of MAP and elemental S. Thus, surface application of lime was effective in reducing soil acidity to a 100‐cm depth, regardless of fertilizer application with MAP and MAP + elemental S. The improving effects of surface liming had a more favourable impact on wheat root growth than on soybean root growth, probably because wheat was more affected than soybean by insufficient rainfall during the crop development cycle. Wheat showed a greater yield response to P and S fertilizer application than soybean.

AbstractIn recent years, new wasp species and genera of Cynipidae have been described, and their species delimitation and evolutionary relationships have been supported using molecular markers. However, few studies have included comprehensive and extensive sampling of specimens across the complete distribution of a single genus. In this study, we analysed the phylogenetic relationships of the genus Amphibolips throughout its range using ultraconserved elements (UCEs). We collected 520 adult wasps from 401 sites in various geographic locations, predominantly in Mexico, and used 78 wasps for UCE analysis. Our results demonstrate that Amphibolips forms a monophyletic clade. Amphibolips can be further subdivided into four genetically well‐differentiated clades. Each clade had morphological traits that could be collectively characterised. Species delimitation using molecular sequencing highlights the taxonomic complexity involved in separating and assigning species using exclusively morphological criteria. This approach offers an opportunity to refine current morphological taxonomic criteria or propose new criteria to establish more accurate classifications. The rich diversity of host species and geographic regions in Mexico represents a biodiversity hotspot for Amphibolips. The number of undescribed species remains high. This study facilitates the determination of appropriate boundaries for putative new Amphibolips species.

Published: November 2024

AbstractPurposeTo determine the load at failure of canine intact cadaveric eyes and to describe the anatomic location and length of the rupture following external compression.Animals StudiedSixty‐six canine cadaveric globes.ProceduresGlobes were subjected to an axial force impacting the cornea or equator using a commercially available mechanical testing unit. Following rupture, eyes were inspected to document the anatomical site and length of rupture.ResultsThe mean ± SD force necessary to induce scleral rupture was 310 ± 120 N OD and 294 ± 113 N OS. Increasing body weight (OD p = .000015, OS p = .0074) as well as cranial‐to‐caudal (OD p = .000045, OS p = .0075) and medial‐to‐lateral (OD p = .00027, OS p = .0083) globe diameter were associated with a higher force necessary to induce rupture. The median (25%, 75%) length of the scleral rupture was 8.5 (7.0, 11.0) mm OS and 10 (7.0, 12.5) mm OD. The median location was 8.0 (5.0, 10.0) mm posterior to the limbus at the most cranial extent OS and 6.5 (3.3, 10.0) mm OD. Rupture orientation in relation to the limbus was perpendicular (n = 35), parallel (n = 13), or other (n = 16). Globe laterality (i.e., OD or OS), sex, and age did not have a significant influence on the force necessary to induce rupture (p > .05).ConclusionsFollowing external compression, the canine globe frequently ruptures in a region approximating the equator extending 1 cm posteriorly, which may not be readily apparent on clinical examination.
Military Sports Recovery Athletes’ Perspectives on Role of the Coach in Athletes’ Well-Being: The Importance of Supporting Basic Psychological Needs
Authors: Jordan Nicola , Macdonald Stephen , Allen Justine 
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences of athletes in a competitive military sports recovery program with a specific focus on the extent to which coaches supported, or frustrated, athletes’ basic psychological needs. Eight military veteran athletes competing in parasport took part in semistructured interviews. The accounts of their experiences of working with coaches in this context and their influence on their psychological needs and well-being were thematically analyzed. Results demonstrated that coaches’ behaviors that support basic psychological needs can have positive effects on athletes’ well-being and support their wider rehabilitation. Furthermore, frustration of these needs through controlling behaviors contributed to psychological ill-being. Findings suggest practical implications to help inform coaching practice to support optimal recovery and an environment that promotes well-being.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of menstrual-cycle (MC) and hormonal-contraceptive (HC) tracking among Gaelic Football players, including the characterization of MC status and symptomatology, and to examine the effect of MC and oral-contraceptive-pill phases on daily wellness. Methods: Fourteen highly trained players (age 24.2 [3.5] y), including non-HC (n = 6), oral contraceptive pill (n = 7), and intrauterine system (n = 1) users, prospectively tracked their MC or HC alongside daily self-reported wellness measures for 4 months. A combination of calendar-based counting, urinary ovulation prediction testing, and a midluteal serum progesterone measurement was used to assess MC status. Results: Only 2 non-HC players were eumenorrheic. Two players exhibited oligomenorrhea (cycle length, 39 [4] d), and ovulation was not detected in one of them. Luteal phase deficiency was indicated in 2 players (serum progesterone range <1.0–7.5 nmol·L−1). All players except 1 reported at least 1 negative MC-related symptom or HC side effect. Linear mixed-model analyses revealed that wellness measures were not affected by oral contraceptive pill phase (P > .05). Linear mixed-model analysis was not performed in non-HC users due to the small sample of eumenorrheic players (n = 2). Conclusions: Diverse reproductive profiles were observed, including HC use and subtle MC irregularities that would likely go undetected without prospective MC tracking using biochemical outcomes. This highlights the value of incorporating ovulation testing and blood sampling when establishing the MC status of athletes in applied research and practice where feasible. Applied researchers should anticipate practical challenges, including inconsistencies in ovulation testing timings and the time scale required to assess MC status among athletes.
North Pacific warmth synchronous with the Miocene Climatic Optimum
Authors: Nirenberg Jared E. , Herbert Timothy D. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Peak Neogene warmth and minimal polar ice volumes occurred during the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO, ca. 16.95–13.95 Ma) followed by cooling and ice sheet expansion during the Middle Miocene Climate Transition (MMCT, ca. 13.95–12.8 Ma). Previous records of northern high-latitude sea surface temperatures (SSTs) during these global climatic transitions are limited to Atlantic sites, and none resolve orbital-scale variability. Here, we present an orbital-resolution alkenone SST proxy record from the subpolar North Pacific that establishes a local maximum of SSTs during the MCO as much as 16 °C warmer than modern with rapid warming initiating the MCO, cooling synchronous with Antarctic ice sheet expansion during the MMCT, and high variability on orbital time scales. Persistently cooler North Pacific SST anomalies than in the Atlantic at equivalent latitudes throughout the Miocene suggest enhanced Atlantic northward heat transport under a globally warm climate. We conclude that a global forcing mechanism, likely elevated greenhouse gas concentrations, is the most parsimonious explanation for synchronous global high-latitude warmth during the Miocene.

Published: November 2024

BackgroundPre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective, safe and acceptable intervention for preventing HIV infection. However, identifying individuals who could best benefit from PrEP remains a significant challenge. Existing HIV risk assessment tools vary in performance depending on context. This systematic review aims to synthesise evidence on their diagnostic performances to predict incident HIV infection.Methods and analysisThis protocol is informed and reported in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Protocols. We will search MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid) and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases (January 1998–May 2024) for observational and relevant interventional studies assessing the diagnostic performance of HIV risk tools to predict incident HIV for PrEP eligibility. There will be no restrictions on study language or location. Two reviewers will conduct the search, data extraction and risk of bias assessment using the Johanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Diagnostic Studies. Standardised templates will be used in Covidence for data extraction. We will conduct a meta-analysis if appropriate, otherwise, a narrative review. We will use the PRISMA guidelines to guide reporting.Ethics and dissemination of researchEthical approval is not required as data is publicly available. This review will inform updates to Canadian HIV PrEP guidelines and guide healthcare professionals in using HIV risk assessment tools for identifying PrEP candidates. Findings will be presented at guideline panel meetings and submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and conferences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42024543975.
