Published: October 2024

Background and objective
Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) persons experience health inequities compared to their cisgender peers, which is in part related to limited evidence informing their care. Thus, we aimed to describe the literature informing care provision of TGD individuals.

Data source, eligibility criteria, and synthesis methods
Literature cited by the World Professional Association of Transgender Health Standards of Care Version 8 was reviewed. Original research articles, excluding systematic reviews (n = 74), were assessed (n = 1809). Studies where the population of interest were only caregivers, providers, siblings, partners, or children of TGD individuals were excluded (n = 7). Results were synthesized in a descriptive manner.

Results
Of 1809 citations, 696 studies met the inclusion criteria. TGD-only populations were represented in 65% of studies. White (38%) participants and young adults (18 to 29 years old, 64%) were the most well-represented study populations. Almost half of studies (45%) were cross-sectional, and approximately a third were longitudinal in nature (37%). Overall, the median number of TGD participants (median [IQR]: 104 [32, 356]) included in each study was approximately one third of included cisgender participants (271 [47, 15405]). In studies where both TGD and cisgender individuals were included (n = 74), the proportion of TGD to cisgender participants was 1:2 [1:20, 1:1]. Less than a third of studies stratified results by sex (32%) or gender (28%), and even fewer included sex (4%) or gender (3%) as a covariate in the analysis. The proportion of studies with populations including both TGD and cisgender participants increased between 1969 and 2023, while the proportion of studies with study populations of unspecified gender identity decreased over the same time period.

Conclusions
While TGD participant-only studies make up most of the literature informing care of this population, longitudinal studies including a diversity of TGD individuals across life stages are required to improve the quality of evidence.

Published: October 2024

Introduction
Interprofessional education is a process designed to facilitate knowledge exchange between healthcare professionals with the aim of improving learning, collaboration, and patient care. It helsps students gain a better understanding of communication, teamwork, and each profession’s role. This study aims to examine Saudi undergraduate nursing students’ attitudes and readiness for engagement in high-fidelity simulation interprofessional education and practice after training nurse educators in HFS.

Methodology
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 311 nursing students. The process of sampling was done by convenience and was not probabilistic. Participants were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire. The survey included demographic information as well as the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale.

Results
There was a positive attitude toward Interprofessional education among nursing students and a reasonable level of readiness. The Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale score was significantly associated with academic years (p ≤ 0.05).

Conclusion
Nursing students have a positive attitude towards interprofessional education and are willing to engage in high-fidelity simulation activities. The integration of high-fidelity simulation in interprofessional education can significantly benefit nursing students by enhancing their clinical skills, decision-making abilities, and teamwork dynamics in a controlled environment.
Submaximal eccentric resistance training increases serial sarcomere number and improves dynamic muscle performance in old rats
Authors: Hinks Avery , Vlemmix Ethan , Power Geoffrey A. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe age‐related loss of muscle mass is partly accounted for by the loss of sarcomeres in series, contributing to declines in muscle mechanical performance. Resistance training biased to eccentric contractions increases serial sarcomere number (SSN) in young muscle, however, maximal eccentric training in old rats previously did not alter SSN and worsened performance. A submaximal eccentric training stimulus may be more conducive to adaptation for aged muscle. The purpose of this study was to assess whether submaximal eccentric training can increase SSN and improve mechanical function in old rats. Twelve 32‐month‐old male F344/BN rats completed 4 weeks of submaximal (60% maximum) eccentric plantar‐flexion training 3 days/week. Pre‐ and post‐training, we assessed in‐vivo maximum isometric torque at a stretched and neutral ankle angle, the passive torque‐angle relationship, and the isotonic torque‐velocity‐power relationship. The soleus and medial gastrocnemius (MG) were harvested for SSN measurements via laser diffraction, with the untrained leg as a control. SSN increased 11% and 8% in the soleus and MG, respectively. Training also shifted optimal torque production towards longer muscle lengths, reduced passive torque 42%, and increased peak isotonic power 23%. Submaximal eccentric training was beneficial for aged muscle adaptations, increasing SSN, reducing muscle passive tension, and improving dynamic contractile performance.

Abstract

Objectives
The identification of vitamin B12 (B12) deficiency in the newborn may prevent neurological damage and a delay in the normal growth. In this study we characterized the incidence of B12 deficiency in newborns, the costs associated to the clinical diagnosis and management, and the relevance to optimize the use of cobalamin biomarkers during treatment follow-up.

Methods
Starting from a continuous case series of 146,470 screened newborns (November, 1st 2021- December, 3rd 2023), the Regional Reference Laboratory for Neonatal Screening identified 87 newborns having altered levels of biomarkers of cobalamin metabolism measured by newborn screening. These subjects were confirmed with a nutritional B12 deficiency of maternal origin by performing the serum B12 measurements and plasma homocysteine (Hcy) both on the newborns and respective mothers. A cost analysis was performed to characterize the costs/year of identifying and managing B12 deficiency cases.

Results
At baseline, median (interquartile range) serum B12 levels of 185.0 (142.3–246.0) ng/L and threefold increased plasma Hcy concentrations above the normal level confirmed a severe condition of deficiency in the newborns. After intramuscular B12 supplementation, serum B12 measured at the first follow up visit showed a fivefold increase, and the levels of Hcy returned to normal. From the healthcare perspective, the costs for diagnosing and managing all newborns with B12 deficiency is 188,480 €/year.

Conclusions
Preventing B12 depletion in newborns lowers healthcare costs and likely improves their health outcomes. Further studies are however required to address the clinical pathway to identify, treat and monitor pregnant women with marginal and low B12 status, in order to achieve these goals.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objectives
This retrospective study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of targeted biopsy (TB) and unilateral systematic biopsy in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in 222 men with single magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System [PI-RADS] ≥ 3).

Methods
Patients underwent multiparametric MRI and MRI/ultrasound fusion TB and 12-needle standard biopsy (SB) from September 2016 to June 2021. The study compared the diagnostic performance of TB + iSB (ipsilateral), TB + contralateral system biopsy (cSB) (contralateral), and TB alone for csPCa using the χ
2 test and analysis of variance.

Results
Among 126 patients with csPCa (ISUP ≥ 2), detection rates for TB + iSB, TB + cSB, and TB were 100, 98.90, and 100% for lesions, respectively. TB + iSB showed the highest sensitivity and negative predictive value. No significant differences in accuracy were found between TB + iSB and the gold standard for type 3 lesions (P = 1). For types 4–5, detection accuracy was comparable across methods (P = 0.314, P = 0.314, P = 0.153). TB had the highest positive needle count rate, with TB + iSB being second for type 3 lesions (4.08% vs 6.57%, P = 0.127).

Conclusion
TB + iSB improved csPCa detection rates and reduced biopsy numbers, making it a viable alternative to TB + SB for single MRI lesions.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate the significance of colposcopy in diagnosing cervical lesions when negative cervical cytology is combined with positive human papillomavirus (HPV).

Methods
Overall, 370 patients with cervical epithelial lesions who had negative cervical fluid-based cytology combined with positive HPV results were selected and analysed for severity of cervical lesions and HPV distribution.

Results
Among the patients with cervical lesions, 242 had a single HPV infection, and 128 cases had multiple infections. No significant difference was found between HPV single infection and multiple infections in both groups of patients with cervical lesions (P > 0.05). Furthermore, 137 had non-HPV 16 and 18, accounting for 37.30% of all the patients with cervical lesions. Among them, HPV 52, 58, and 33 infections were the most common at 38.69, 30.66 and 29.20%, respectively – significantly higher than other high-risk HPV types (P < 0.05).

Conclusion
High-risk HPV testing is crucial in patients with negative cervical fluid-based cytology combined with positive HPV results. Patients with HPV 16 and 18 and those with simple HPV 52, 58, and 33 infections should undergo timely colposcopy.

Abstract

Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth infestation is one of the major constraints to maize production in the Nigeria savannas. The application of nitrogen fertilizer to Striga-resistant hybrids may reduce Striga infection and increase grain yields. The objective of this study was to assess the performance of six maize hybrids at low (30 kg ha−1) and high (120 kg ha−1) nitrogen application under natural infestation with Striga in northern Nigeria in 2014 and 2015. The two nitrogen rates and the six hybrids were arranged in a split-plot design with three replications. The nitrogen treatment was assigned to the main plot while the maize hybrids were assigned to the subplot. Data were collected on number of emerged Striga plants, Striga damage score, total dry matter and grain yield. Results showed that the application of nitrogen at 120 kg ha−1 reduced the number of Striga plants by 58% compared to application at 30 kg N ha−1 in Kafin Madaki and by 48% in Tudun Wada. Nitrogen application at 120 kg N ha−1 also reduced Striga damage rating by 22% in Kafin Madaki and by 33% in Tudun Wada. Both the commercial hybrid (OBASUPER 1) and the susceptible hybrid (8338-1) exhibited higher Striga damage ratings compared to the new hybrids at both locations. Grain yield was 86 and 98% higher in Kafin Madaki and Tudun Wada, respectively, when N was applied at 120 kg N ha−1 than at 30 kg N ha−1. The hybrids M1124-3 and M1227-14 produced grain yields that were significantly higher than those of the other hybrids in all locations. Our results showed that the application of 120 kg N ha−1 to Striga-resistant maize hybrids will reduce Striga infection and increase grain yield.
Psychometric evaluation of the Danish version of the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire in patients with subacute and chronic low back pain
Authors: Errebo Mette , Oxfeldt Martin , Tegner Heidi , Christensen Jan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objective
The Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) is a widely used patient-reported outcome measure designed to assess the level of pain self-efficacy in patients with low back pain (LBP). Although the PSEQ has been translated into Danish, its measurement properties remain unknown in patients with subacute and chronic LBP in Danish outpatient clinics. The aim of this study was to investigate the construct validity, internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and measurement error of the Danish version of the PSEQ in a group of Danish patients with subacute and chronic LBP in a hospital outpatient setting.

Methods
Patients with LBP referred to two Danish outpatient clinics were recruited for this study. Two days after the consultation, the participants were emailed a link to a survey that included the following outcome measures: the PSEQ, the Oswestry Disability Index, the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia. Five days after completion of the survey, a new survey that included the PSEQ was sent to the participants.

Results
In total, 109 participants were included for the analysis of construct validity and internal consistency, with 94 participants included for the analysis of test–retest reliability and measurement error. Construct validity was found to be high and internal consistency was acceptable, with Cronbach’s alpha = 0.93 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.91–0.93). Test–retest reliability was found to be good, with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2.1) of 0.89 (95% CI = 0.82–0.92). The standard error of measurement was calculated to be 4.52 and the smallest detectable change was 12.5 points.

Conclusions
The Danish version of the PSEQ showed acceptable measurement properties in terms of construct validity, internal consistency, and test–retest reliability in a group of patients with subacute and chronic LBP. However, further studies are needed to investigate other aspects of the measurement properties.
Effects of Industrial Diversity on Economic Stability: A Panel GARCH Process to Predict Economic Stability
Authors: Noor Sajid , Erickson Christopher 
Published: October 2024

This paper studies the relationship between industry diversity and economic stability. The economic stability has been estimated using a panel-GARCH model. Our sample consists of US county-level data for the period 2003 to 2017. The results suggest that industry diversity improves economic stability and reduces a region’s unemployment rate. However, this study finds a negative relationship between industry diversity and economic growth. Although diversity negatively affects economic growth, it minimizes income loss when the nation falls into an economic recession. Therefore, we cannot conclude a tradeoff between economic stability and economic growth. It is possible that a region can achieve both stability and growth together through industry diversification. This paper also explores that the effects of diversity on economic stability, unemployment rate, and economic growth may vary between different counties depending on their metro or non-metro status. Thus, this paper suggests that policymakers may choose industry diversification as a strategy to achieve long-run economic stability and precaution against an unexpected economic downturn.
INSTANTANEOUS PRODUCTION GROWTH IN A DYNAMIC ECONOMY
Authors: Villalobos Céspedes Daniel 
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to measure the average and instantaneous rates of production growth and to provide new formulas for measuring the contribution to and share of resources in that growth. This is the key idea in a new method of attack as suggested by Cobb and Douglas—as of yet not solved by economic growth theory—to demonstrate that distribution processes are modeled on those of the production of value. We intend to validate the strength of the proposed model by systematizing and analyzing production, investment and employment data from a dynamic economy, i.e., the United States of America, provided by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) for the years 2012 to 2022, the results of which can be found in the Appendix. We conclude that greater convergence with equity between labor and capital contribution and share in production growth results when the elasticity of its composition is between ½ and 1. Outside of this range, we see divergence with inequity adverse to labor. Our model could improve the formulation and execution of macroeconomic policies (fiscal, monetary and trade) and promote greater convergence/equity in the contribution to and share of resources in production growth.
Wilno i wątki urbanistyczne w przedwojennych tekstach Józefa Mackiewicza
Authors: Krupowies Walentyna 
Published: October 2024

The article points out the dominant themes of Józef Mackiewicz's pre-war work, indicates Vilnius as one of the main goals of Mackiewicz's writing, and analyses selected pre-war columns and reportages, primarily the diptych Z wileńskiego bruku (From the Vilnius Pavement) and a series of reportages under the common title Poszukiwania tajemniczego portcygaru w Wilnie (Search for the Mysterious Portcygar in Vilnius). In the diptych, Mackiewicz studies the city as a strictly urban space without reference to tradition or cultural and symbolic imagery. Observations and descriptions of the everyday life of pre-war Vilnius gave rise to texts in which motifs specific to urban literature appear, such as the movement and rhythm of urban life, the organisation of time, or the peculiarities of the audiosphere. The protagonist-narrator of these texts also resides in the city in a modern way: he focuses on empiricism and the sensory-bodily perception of the city. On the other hand, the reportage series belongs to the non-fiction literature of the 1930s. Some of Mackiewicz's pre-war works, including the analysed series, belong to the period of literature’s turn towards social issues, when the life of the lower classes, especially in the metropolis’s suburbs, gained its literary and journalistic representations. The analysed series about suburbs discovered new anthropological spaces, alternative to the time’s literary representations, and modified existing ideas about Vilnius.
Prediction of craving across studies: A commentary on conceptual and methodological considerations when using data-driven methods

Published: October 2024

AbstractCraving is a central feature of substance use disorders and disorders due to addictive behaviors. Considerable research has investigated neural mechanisms involved in the development and processing of craving. Recently, connectome-based predictive modeling, a data-driven method, has been used in four studies aiming to predict craving related to substance use, addictive behaviors, and food. Studies differed in methods, samples, and conceptualizations of craving. Within the commentary we aim to compare, contrast and consolidate findings across studies by considering conceptual and methodological features of the studies. We derive a theoretical model on the functional connectivity-craving relationships across studies.

Published: October 2024

Objectives. This study aimed to compare the effects of wrestling and sumo wrestling as similar combat sports activities in a training program on technical wrestling scores, wrestling performance indexes, and intrinsic motivation in youth practitioners.

Materials and methods. A randomized controlled trial using a single-blinded design, and repeated measures of parallel groups (sumo-based group: EG, n = 19, aged = 12.42 ± 0.87 years; and only wrestling group: CG, n = 19, aged = 12.41 ± 0.78 years) was conducted. Three 65-minute weekly sessions for four weeks were dedicated to the interventions. A two-factor mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) model with repeated measures was performed to assess the group vs. time impact analysis.

Results. The findings revealed a significant interaction between the variables, whereby higher values were observed for technical wrestling scores on the attempted head and arm throw test (F1;18 = 356.2; p < 0.0001; ES = 0.60), wrestling performance indexes on the pushing opponent test (F1;18 = 8.31; p = 0.009; ES = 0.08), intrinsic motivation for effort/importance item (F1;18 = 12.24; p = 0.003; ES = 0.82) and intrinsic motivation item (F1;18 = 19.36; p = 0.000; ES = 0.24) in favor of EG.

Conclusions. In conclusion, the sumo-based training program produces significantly greater responses on technical performance, and intrinsic motivation, specifically regarding wrestling training.
