Delving into the role of reward and punishment sensitivity in anorexia nervosa: Punishment responsivity as the only predictor of eating disorder symptom persistence in adolescents
Authors: Jonker Nienke C. , Glashouwer Klaske A. , de Jong Peter J. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractObjectiveThis study differentiated between self‐reported punishment responsivity (PR) and motivation to avoid punishment (MP) and examined their relationship with anorexia nervosa (AN) and its course in a combined cross‐sectional and longitudinal approach. We explored whether inconsistent findings regarding reward sensitivity may be explained by previous research not differentiating between reward responsivity (RR) and motivation to approach reward (MR).MethodParticipants were 69 adolescents with AN and 69 adolescents without AN matched on age, sex and educational level. Eating disorder (ED) symptom severity, PR, MP, RR, and MR were assessed at the start of treatment and 1 year later.ResultsOnly PR was higher in patients with AN than in the comparison group. Both PR and MP decreased over the course of 1 year, however, only the reduction in PR was related to the reduction in ED symptoms. Lastly, only higher baseline PR was independently related to less improvement in ED symptoms over the course of 1 year.ConclusionThere was no support for the involvement of RS or its specific dimensions in AN. Most critical, the findings suggest that specifically the PR dimension of punishment sensitivity is related to the persistence of AN and could be an important target for treatment.

AbstractThis paper reports on the application of extract from the peels of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) to increase flame retardancy and reduce toxic gaseous emissions from the combustion of cotton textiles. In particular, the results from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of treated and untreated samples proved the incorporation of jackfruit peels extract onto the textile substrate, while the results from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and standard flammability tests of treated and untreated samples, and their corresponding limiting oxygen index (LOI), proving the flame retardancy effect of jackfruit peels extract on the textile substrate. The textile substrate treated with jackfruit peels extract exhibited excellent flame retardancy, evident by LOI value increasing to 26.8% and samples self‐extinguishing within 4.5 s after being removed from the reference flame. In addition, the increase in flame retardancy of treated textile samples also demonstrated good washing durability, even after 30 cycles of standard washing. More importantly, gas chromatography coupled mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) analysis of gaseous emissions from the combustion of samples treated by jackfruit peels extract and by commercial Pyrovatex CP suggested that the use of jackfruit peels extract could help greatly reduce the release of toxic volatile substances, which would pose significant risk to the health of human and the ability of people to safely evacuate from fire accidents. In conclusion, these results have demonstrated the potential of a novel green approach for the fabrication of flame‐retardant textiles.

AbstractThis study investigated Chinese children's perspectives on the use of power and the prediction of these perspectives on their resource allocation. The sample included a total of 145 children from two primary schools in Mainland China (68 males, 77 females), with 70 in the younger group (M
age = 6.89, SD = 0.37, ranging from 6.08 to 7.67 years) and 75 in the older group (M
age = 9.03, SD = 0.55, ranging from 8.08 to 9.92 years). To explore the power perspective of children, they were presented a character who was ‘in charge’ and used his/her power to serve themselves or others. The results showed that children aged 6–9 years were more inclined to approve ‘bosses’ who used power for others' benefit, indicating children's support for benevolent power use, especially among 8–9‐year‐olds. Additionally, the study revealed that children who approved of benevolent power use tended to allocate more resources to others when possessing power, a behaviour not observed in 6–7‐year‐olds. This finding, more or less, indicated a correlation between children's perspectives on the use of power and their behaviour in allocating resources. These results demonstrate the importance of promoting a rational understanding of power use among children.Highlights

All children held the benevolent perspective of power use, which agreed that those in power should use power to serve others.
Children aged 8–9 were more inclined to think a ‘boss’ should prioritize the interests of others over their own.
Children aged 8–9 who supported the benevolent perspective of power use allocate more resources to others.

ABSTRACTOne of the urgent tasks of modern medicine is to detect microcirculation disorder during surgery to avoid possible consequences like tissue hypoxia, ischemia, and necrosis. To address this issue, in this article, we propose a compact probe with sapphire tip and optical sensing based on the principle of spatially resolved diffuse reflectance analysis. It allows for intraoperative measurement of tissue effective attenuation coefficient and its alteration during the changes of tissue condition, caused by microcirculation disorder. The results of experimental studies using (1) a tissue‐mimicking phantom based on lipid emulsion and hemoglobin and (2) a model of hindlimb ischemia performed in a rat demonstrated the ability to detect rapid changes of tissue attenuation confirming the feasibility of the probe to sense the stressful exposure. Due to a compact design of the probe, it could be useful for rather wide surgical operations and diagnostic purposes as an auxiliary instrument.

AbstractBackgroundADCK genes encode aarF domain‐containing mitochondrial kinases involved in coenzyme Q (CoQ) biosynthesis and regulation. Haploinsufficiency of ADCK2 in humans leads to adult‐onset physical incapacity with reduced mitochondrial CoQ levels in skeletal muscle, resulting in mitochondrial myopathy and alterations in fatty acid β‐oxidation. The sole current treatment for CoQ deficiencies is oral administration of CoQ10, which causes only partial recovery with postnatal treatment, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis for successful intervention.MethodsWe used Adck2 heterozygous mice to examine the influence of this gene on muscle structure, function and regeneration throughout development, growth and ageing. This investigation involved techniques including immunohistochemistry, analysis of CoQ levels, mitochondrial respiratory content, muscle transcriptome analysis and functional tests.ResultsWe demonstrated that Adck2 heterozygous mice exhibit defects from embryonic development, particularly in skeletal muscle (1102 genes deregulated). Adck2 heterozygous embryos were 7% smaller in size and displayed signs of delayed development. Prenatal administration of CoQ10 could mitigate these embryonic defects. Heterozygous Adck2 mice also showed a decrease in myogenic cell differentiation, with more severe consequences in ‘aged’ mice (41.63% smaller) (P < 0.01). Consequently, heterozygous Adck2 mice displayed accelerated muscle wasting associated with ageing in muscle structure (P < 0.05), muscle function (less grip strength capacity) (P < 0.001) and muscle mitochondrial respiration (P < 0.001). Furthermore, progressive CoQ10 administration conferred protective effects on mitochondrial function (P < 0.0001) and skeletal muscle (P < 0.05).ConclusionsOur work uncovered novel aspects of CoQ deficiencies, revealing defects during embryonic development in mammals for the first time. Additionally, we identified the gradual establishment and progression of the deleterious Adck2 mouse phenotype. Importantly, CoQ10 supplementation demonstrated a protective effect when initiated during development.

ABSTRACTHerein, novel nanocomposites based on reduced graphene oxide decorated copper oxide nanoparticles (rGO/CuO) were prepared by the in situ co‐precipitation method. The structural, morphological, and optical characterization of as‐prepared nanocomposites was performed by powdered x‐ray diffraction (p‐XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR), Raman, and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, respectively. The as‐prepared nanocomposites exhibited better photocatalytic activity of rhodamine B dye with maximum ~94% degradation in 120 min with a rate constant of 0.2353 min−1 under optimized conditions. Furthermore, the effects of solution pH and catalyst loading are studied on the degradation process. Therefore, this state‐of‐the‐art strategy for the decoration of CuO nanoparticles onto the surface of rGO nanosheets could be an ideal platform for fabricating highly efficient photocatalysts.

BackgroundAutomated approaches may allow for fast, reproducible clinical assessment of cardiovascular diseases from MRI.PurposeTo develop an MRI‐based deep learning (DL) disease classification algorithm to distinguish among normal subjects (NORM), patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and ischemic heart disease (IHD).Study TypeRetrospective.PopulationA total of 1337 subjects (55% female), comprising normal subjects (N = 568), and patients with DCM (N = 151), HCM (N = 177), and IHD (N = 441).Field Strength/SequenceBalanced steady‐state free precession cine sequence at 1.5/3.0 T.AssessmentBi‐ventricular morphological and functional features and global and segmental left ventricular strain features were automatically extracted from short‐ and long‐axis cine images. Variational autoencoder models were trained on the extracted features and compared against consensus disease label provided by two expert readers (13 and 14 years of experience). Adding unlabeled, normal data to the training was explored to increase specificity of NORM class.Statistical TestsTenfold cross‐validation for model development; mean, standard deviation (SD) for measurements; classification metrics: area under the curve (AUC), confusion matrix, accuracy, specificity, precision, recall; 95% confidence intervals; Mann–Whitney U test for significance.ResultsAUCs of 0.952 for NORM, 0.881 for DCM, 0.908 for HCM, and 0.856 for IHD and overall accuracy of 0.778 were obtained, with specificity of 0.908 for the NORM class using both SAX and LAX features. Longitudinal strain features slightly improved classification metrics by 0.001 to 0.03 points, except for HCM‐AUC. Differences in accuracy, metrics for NORM class and HCM‐AUC were statistically significant. Cotraining using unlabeled data increased the specificity for the NORM class to 0.961.Data ConclusionCardiac function features automatically extracted from cine MRI have potential to be used for disease classification, especially for normal‐abnormal classification. Feature analyses showed that strain features were important for disease labeling. Cotraining using unlabeled data may help to increase specificity for normal‐abnormal classification.Level of Evidence3Technical EfficacyStage 1

Published: October 2024

AbstractThough radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is the gold standard for migration tracking, computed tomography‐based RSA (CT‐RSA) does not require marker beads and is available for clinical adoption. This study investigated CT‐RSA in comparison to RSA for assessing hip implant stability with inducible displacement (ID) examinations. Patients (n = 48) from a previous study returned to be re‐examined for femoral stem stability with CT‐RSA and RSA imaging. Implant migration since patients last follow‐up was calculated as a measure of stability. ID was assessed between alternated leg rotation scans for CT‐RSA and between supine and weight‐bearing scans for RSA. Measurements from ID and double examinations were compared between CT‐RSA and RSA. All stems were well‐fixed with migration <0.2 mm/year. ID measurements were lower with CT‐RSA than RSA for distal translation (mean difference = 0.122 mm, p < 0.0001), total translation (mean difference = 0.158 mm, p < 0.0001), and total rotation (mean difference = 0.449°, p < 0.0001). The ID and double exam were significantly different for total translation and total rotation for CT‐RSA, and significantly different for medial, distal, and total translation, and total rotation for RSA. Precision ranged from 0.049 to 0.130 mm in translation and 0.061° to 0.220° in rotation for CT‐RSA, and from 0.108 to 0.269 mm in translation and 0.151° to 0.670° in rotation for RSA. ID measurements from both CT‐RSA and RSA were minimal, consistent for a cohort with well‐fixed stems. CT‐RSA demonstrated superior precision in all axes compared to RSA. Clinical Significance: Future work should explore the use of CT‐RSA in patients with suspected loosening as a potential diagnostic tool.

Published: October 2024

BackgroundLaryngeal dystonia (LD) is an isolated focal dystonia characterized by involuntary spasms in laryngeal muscles selectively impairing speech production. Anecdotal observations reported the worsening of LD symptoms in stressful or vocally demanding situations.ObjectivesTo examine the impact of surrounding audio‐visual complexity on LD symptomatology for a better understanding of disorder phenomenology.MethodsWe developed well‐controlled virtual reality (VR) environments of real‐life interpersonal communications to investigate how different levels of audio‐visual complexity may impact LD symptoms. The VR experiments were conducted over five consecutive days, during which each patient experienced 10 h of 4100 experimental trials in VR with gradually increasing audio‐visual complexity. Daily reports were collected about patients' voice changes, as well as their comfort, engagement, concentration, and drowsiness from using VR technology.ResultsAfter a weekly VR exposure, 82% of patients reported changes in their voice symptoms related to changes in background audio‐visual complexity. Significant differences in voice symptoms were found between the first two levels of the audio‐visual challenge complexity independent of study sessions or VR environments.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that LD symptoms are impacted by audio‐visual background across various virtual realistic settings. These findings should be taken into consideration when planning behavioral experiments or evaluating the outcomes of clinical trials in these patients. Moreover, these data show that VR presents a reliable and useful technology for providing real‐life assessments of the impact of various experimental settings, such as during the testing of novel therapeutic interventions in these patients.Level of Evidence3 Laryngoscope, 135:787–793, 2025
Increased bird sound diversity in vineyards enhances visitors' tour experience

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Biodiversity is rapidly declining, reducing the quantity and quality of human interactions with nature and constraining its contribution to human health and well‐being. Natural sounds are a key component of our experience of nature, but biodiversity losses are reflected in soundscapes, which are becoming less diverse and quieter.

We characterised the soundscapes across 21 English vineyards using acoustic indices and related them to bird species richness and abundance. We found that higher bird species richness, but not abundance, led to more diverse and louder soundscapes, as reflected in higher values of Acoustic Complexity Index (ACI), Bioacoustic Index (BIO) and Normalised Difference Soundscape Index (NDSI), and lower values of Acoustic Entropy Index (H).

Secondly, at three of the study vineyards that run vineyard tours, we measured visitors' experience of the tour in terms of sound enjoyment, soundscape connectedness and tour satisfaction and related these to ambient and experimentally enhanced soundscapes, where we used playback recordings of five additional birdsongs to increase the soundscapes' complexity and volume.

Under ambient conditions, respondents' (n = 107) experience was significantly higher at sites with soundscapes that had higher ACI and BIO values, and lower H, Acoustic Diversity Index (ADI) and NDSI values, indicating a positive effect of more diverse and louder soundscapes. Natural sounds formed an important part of the tour experience at these sites, making visitors feel more present and connected to nature.

Under experimental soundscape enhancement, respondents (n = 79) reported hearing significantly more bird species during the tour, and they reported significantly higher scores for sound enjoyment, soundscape connectedness and tour satisfaction than under ambient conditions. This effect was stronger in visitors who engaged more in pro‐environmental behaviours, such as purchasing organic foods.

Our study demonstrates (i) the direct contribution of aural modes to our experience of nature and (ii) that the delivery of biodiversity conservation measures aimed at supporting bird diversity could simultaneously enhance the experience and well‐being benefits of spending time in nature. Natural soundscapes should therefore be recognised and valued as natural capital, and their protection should be incorporated into conservation planning and policy.

Published: October 2024

AbstractGraphene (nano) platelets (GPs) are cost‐effective and possess high structural integrity, but their limited surface functional groups hinder their compatibility with polymers. In this study, an eco‐friendly, water‐based mechanochemical approach was developed to modify GPs with polyacrylamide (PAM), creating PAM graphene platelets (PAM‐GPs) with a grafting ratio of approximately 15%. The platelet was measured to be a few nanometers in thickness, and the grafted PAM provides abundant functional groups, including amide groups, which enhance compatibility with polymers. A typical polymer, bisphenol‐A epoxy, was compounded with PAM‐GPs, resulting in a high degree of exfoliation and dispersion of PAM‐GPs within the matrix. The resulting epoxy/PAM‐GP composites exhibited significantly improved mechanical properties, including an 18% increase in Young's modulus and a substantial enhancement in fracture toughness, with a 71% increase at a low filler fraction of 0.5 wt%. These improvements are attributed to the effective interfacial interaction between the PAM‐GPs and the epoxy matrix, facilitated by the grafted functional groups. This study highlights the potential of PAM‐GPs as toughening fillers for epoxy composites, emphasizing their applicability in enhancing the durability and performance of structural components in industrial applications.Highlights
