Abstract
We study how bar strength and bar kinematics affect star formation in different regions of the bar by creating radial profiles of EW[Hα] and Dn4000 using data from Sloan Digital Sky Survey-IV Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA). Bars in galaxies are classified as strong or weak using Galaxy Zoo DESI, and they are classified as fast and slow bars using the Tremaine–Weinberg method on stellar kinematic data from the MaNGA survey. In agreement with previous studies, we find that strong bars in star-forming (SF) galaxies have enhanced star formation in their center and beyond the bar-end region, while star formation is suppressed in the arms of the bar. This is not found for weakly barred galaxies, which have very similar radial profiles to unbarred galaxies. In addition, we find that slow bars in SF galaxies have significantly higher star formation along the bar than fast bars. However, the global star formation rate is not significantly different between galaxies with fast and slow bars. This suggests that the kinematics of the bar do not affect star formation globally, but changes where star formation occurs in the galaxy. Thus, we find that a bar will influence its host the most if it is both strong and slow.

Based on the examination of specimens of Amolops minutus Orlov & Ho, 2007 and A. ottorum Pham, Sung, Pham, Le, Zieger & Nguyen, 2019, we found that there is no significant morphological difference between them. Phylogenetic analysis also showed that A. minutus and A. ottorum belong to the same taxon. In addition, we discovered the distribution of A. minutus in China.
In this study, we provide the first molecular data of Amolops minutus and regard A. ottorum as a junior synonym of A. minutus. In addition, we report the first record of A. minutus from China, based on nine specimens collected from Guanyinshan Provincial Nature Reserve in southern Yunnan Province and present an updated diagnosis of this species, based on literature data and newly-collected specimens.
GBIF’s Vocabulary Server: A Tool to Create, Manage and Apply Controlled Vocabularies for Biodiversity
Authors: Svenningsen Cecilie , Gonzalez Marcos , Robertson Tim 
Published: September 2024

Global Biodiversity Information Facility's (GBIF) global index of primary biodiversity data is based on contributions from more than 2,200 publishing institutions and over 100,000 datasets. Data originate from a broad variety of fields, from research to citizen science, from eDNA through specimen collections to observations and monitoring projects, across all taxonomic groups, and with a wide range of datasets and data types. Equally variable is the underlying motivation and focus for data collection and digitization. Even within commonly used domain concepts like Kingdom or OccurrenceStatus, the values provided by the original sources can vary greatly. This presents challenges for any system that aims to provide joint search access across all these different resources.
The vocabulary server*1 in the GBIF Registry is a tool used to standardize selected fields during data interpretation, thereby increasing the searchability of records across datasets on GBIF.org and other GBIF-hosted websites. The server hosts controlled vocabularies for relevant terms from the Darwin Core standard*2, Global Registry of Scientific Collections (GRSciColl)*3, and specific fields used in GBIF. The vocabulary development is managed in a GitHub repository*4, and both concept development and the mapping of verbatim values to concepts are supported by community participation and expert groups.
During this talk, we will present some of the vocabularies implemented on GBIF.org and the work that is going into it. We will also go through the roadmap*5 for future implementations and vocabularies.
We value input from the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections (SPNCH) and Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) communities on terms relevant to controlled vocabulary development in GBIF.

Dear Editor,
Emergency Medicine (EM) is a promising novel specialization in Greece. EM is a young but fast-developing field that should benefit by adopting and incorporating elements from countries where the specialization is already well-established. The first and most crucial stage in every overcrowded Emergency Department (ED) is triage, namely the process by which patients are categorized according to their clinical severity. In a recent study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of triage training of Emergency Nurses (ENs) in the use of the Swiss Triage System (STS) manual translated into Greek, after an intervention of one week.

Published: September 2024

Background: The United Nations encourages national audits of diagnostic imaging equipment and personnel. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 20 X-ray and ultrasound units per million people will meet 90% of global imaging needs. This study assessed registered diagnostic imaging resources in Botswana, a high middle-income, sparsely populated African country.Methods: Details of registered diagnostic imaging equipment and personnel were extracted from the Botswana Radiation Protection Inspectorate and the Botswana Health Professions Council databases and stratified by imaging modality, professional category, and by geographical region and healthcare sector. Findings were presented as absolute numbers and resources per million people.Results: Botswana has 130 diagnostic imaging equipment units. General radiography (GR) (n = 79) 60%, mammography (n = 15; 12%), fluoroscopy (n = 13; 10%), computed tomography (n = 13; 10%), magnetic resonance (n = 6; 5%), digital subtraction angiography (n = 3; 2%) and radioisotope (n = 1; 0.7%). General radiography is the only modality where overall public sector resources (n = 44/79, 56%) exceed those of the private sector. Overall GR meet WHO guidelines, while it exceeded WHO guidelines (42–63 units/106 people) in most sparsely populated districts. There are 171 registered radiation workers; 88% (n = 152), radiographers, 9% (n = 15) radiologists and 2% (n = 4) medical physicists. Fifty three per cent of radiographers (n = 80) and 20% of radiologists (n = 3) work in the public sector.Conclusion: This study provides novel insights into the provision of radiological resources to sparsely populated rural communities.Contribution: The study demonstrates a comprehensive analysis of Radiological resources in an upper-middle-income country in Africa, highlighting important data for medium/long term planning towards achieving an equitable imaging access.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the risk of hypoglycemia also occurs in at a time-in-range (TIR) of > 70%. The hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) is considered the best single factor for predicting hypoglycemia, and offers new perspectives for the individualized treatment of patients with well-controlled blood glucose levels that are easily ignored in clinical settings.
AIM
To investigate the relationship between HGI and hypoglycemia and the implications of HGI on hypoglycemia in T2DM with TIR > 70%.
METHODS
All participants underwent a 7-days continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) using a retrospective CGM system. We obtained glycemic variability indices using the CGM system. We defined HGI as laboratory hemoglobin A1c minus the glucose management indicator. Patients were categorized into low HGI (HGI < 0.5) and high HGI groups (HGI ≥ 0.5) according to HGI median (0.5). Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were used to determine the risk factors for hypoglycemia.
RESULTS
We included 129 subjects with T2DM (54.84 ± 12.56 years, 46% male) in the study. Median TIR score was 90%. The high HGI group exhibited lower TIR and greater time below range with higher hemoglobin A1c than the low HGI group; this suggests more glycemic excursions and an increased incidence of hypoglycemia in the high HGI group. Multivariate analyses revealed that mean blood glucose, standard deviation of blood glucose and HGI were independent risk factors for hypoglycemia. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that the HGI was the best predictor of hypoglycemia. In addition, the optimal cut-off points for HGI, mean blood glucose, and standard deviation of blood glucose in predicting hypoglycemia were 0.5%, 7.2 mmol/L and 1.4 mmol/L respectively.
CONCLUSION
High HGI was significantly associated with greater glycemic excursions and increased hypoglycemia in patients with TIR > 70%. Our findings indicate that HGI is a reliable predictor of hypoglycemia in this population.
Association between sensitivity to thyroid hormones and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Duan Xiao-Ye , Fu Jun-Ling , Sun Li-Na , Mu Zhi-Jing , Xiu Shuang-Ling 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are chronic conditions with substantial public health implications. Effective management of lipid metabolism in patients with T2DM is critical. However, there has been insufficient attention given to the relationship between thyroid hormone sensitivity and dyslipidemia in the T2DM population, particularly concerning non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C).
AIM
To clarify the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity and dyslipidemia in patients with T2DM.
METHODS
In this cross-sectional study, thyroid hormone sensitivity indices, the thyroid feedback quantile-based index (TFQI), the thyroid-stimulating hormone index (TSHI), the thyrotrophic T4 resistance index (TT4RI), and the free triiodothyronine (FT3)/free thyroxine (FT4) ratio were calculated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the associations between those composite indices and non-HDL-C levels. Random forest variable importance and Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) summary plots were used to identify the strength and direction of the association between hyper-non-HDL-C and its major predictor.
RESULTS
Among the 994 participants, 389 (39.13%) had high non-HDL-C levels. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk of hyper-non-HDL-C was positively correlated with the TFQI (OR: 1.584; 95%CI: 1.088-2.304; P = 0.016), TSHI (OR: 1.238; 95%CI: 1.034-1.482; P = 0.02), and TT4RI (OR: 1.075; 95%CI: 1.006-1.149; P = 0.032) but was not significantly correlated with the FT3/FT4 ratio. The relationships between composite indices of the thyroid system and non-HDL-C levels differed according to sex. An increased risk of hyper-non-HDL-C was associated with elevated TSHI levels in men (OR: 1.331; 95%CI: 1.003-1.766; P = 0.048) but elevated TFQI levels in women (OR: 2.337; 95%CI: 1.4-3.901; P = 0.001). Among the analyzed variables, the average SHAP values were highest for TSHI, followed by TT4RI.
CONCLUSION
Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormones was associated with high non-HDL-C levels in patients with T2DM.

Authors: Zhang Gui-Rong , Zhang Yan-Yan , Liang Wen-Bin , Ding Dun 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Global and regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes in patients with unilateral internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO) are unclear when the dual post-labeling delays (PLD) arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique is used. Manual delineation of regions of interest for CBF measurement is time-consuming and laborious.
AIM
To assess global and regional CBF changes in patients with unilateral ICAO with the ASL-MRI perfusion technique.
METHODS
Twenty hospitalized patients with ICAO and sex- and age-matched controls were included in the study. Regional CBF was measured by Dr. Brain's ASL software. The present study evaluated differences in global, middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory, anterior cerebral artery territory, and Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) regions (including the caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus, insula ribbon, internal capsule, and M1-M6) and brain lobes (including frontal, parietal, temporal, and insular lobes) between ICAO patients and controls at PLD 1.5 s and PLD 2.5 s.
RESULTS
When comparing CBF between ICAO patients and controls, the global CBF in ICAO patients was lower at both PLD 1.5 s and PLD 2.5 s; the CBF on the occluded side was lower in 15 brain regions at PLD 1.5 s, and it was lower in 9 brain regions at PLD 2.5 s; the CBF in the contralateral hemisphere was lower in the caudate nucleus and internal capsule at PLD 1.5 s and in M6 at PLD 2.5 s. The global CBF in ICAO patients was lower at PLD 1.5 s than at PLD 2.5 s. The ipsilateral CBF at PLD 1.5 s was lower than that at PLD 2.5 s in 15 regions, whereas the contralateral CBF was lower at PLD 1.5 s than at PLD 2.5 s in 12 regions. The ipsilateral CBF was lower than the contralateral CBF in 15 regions at PLD 1.5 s, and in M6 at PLD 2.5 s.
CONCLUSION
Unilateral ICAO results in hypoperfusion in the global and MCA territories, especially in the ASPECTS area. Dual PLD settings prove more suitable for accurate CBF quantification in ICAO.

Authors: Chiang Ping-Han , Ko Kai-Hsiung , Peng Yi-Jen , Huang Tsai-Wang , Tang Shih-En 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND
Primary hyperparathyroidism is typically caused by a single parathyroid adenoma. Ectopic parathyroid adenomas occur as well, with cases involving various sites, including the mediastinum, presenting in varying frequencies. Secondary hyperparathyroidism develops in the context of chronic kidney disease, primarily due to vitamin D deficiency, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia. It is frequently diagnosed in patients undergoing dialysis. This article presents a rare case of hyperparathyroidism involving multiple hyperplastic parathyroid glands with pulmonary seeding in a 50-year-old female patient undergoing hemodialysis (HD).
CASE SUMMARY
The patient had a history of parathyroidectomy 10 years prior but developed recurrent hyperparathyroidism with symptoms of pruritus and cough with sputum during a period of routine dialysis. Radiographic imaging revealed multiple nodules in both lungs, with the largest measuring approximately 1.35 cm. Surgical histopathology confirmed the presence of hyperplastic parathyroid glands within the pulmonary tissue. After tumor resection surgery via video-assisted thoracic surgery with wedge resection, the patient was discharged in stable condition and in follow-up her symptoms showed improvement.
CONCLUSION
This article describes hyperparathyroidism presenting as pulmonary nodules in a patient undergoing post-parathyroidectomy HD, highlighting diagnostic challenges and a positive outcome from tumor resection surgery.

Published: September 2024

В статье рассмотрены вопросы выбора наиболее эффективного способа управления взрывом для качественного дробления пород различной крепости и трещиноватости. Установлено, что потенциальная энергия зарядов ВВ при взрыве может расходоваться на бесполезное переизмельчение пород в ближайшей к заряду зоне. Поэтому основным условием качественного дробления пород становится выбор такого способа взрывания, который позволяет управлять физико-механическими воздействиями взрыва. Необходимо перераспределить основную часть энергии взрыва на дробление пород, находящихся за зоной, окружающих заряд. Разработан и испытан способ качественного дробления пород путем управления физико-механическими воздействиями взрыва. Взрывом управляют с помощью очередности инициирования зарядов и временных промежутков между взрывами, которые устанавливают с помощью замедлений в системе коммутации взрывной сети
