ABSTRACT
Purpose
To investigate the dynamic changes in ACVS on SWIs in patients who underwent reperfusion therapy and evaluate their association with neurological and radiological improvement
Materials and Methods
All patients treated for acute ischemic stroke between June 2020 and June 2022, in a single tertiary centre (Hospital Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah) who underwent reperfusion therapy and MRI imaging were retrospectively identified based on clinical and radiology reports.
Expected Results
This study hypothesizes an improvement in ACVS is expected to correlate with favourable neurological outcomes (MRS at 3 months and NIHSS score) and radiological outcome (DWI / ASPECT scores and Modified Mori score). Conversely, a worsening of ACVS is anticipated to be associated with unfavourable neurological and radiological outcomes.
Conclusion
Asymmetrical Cortical Vein Signs (ACVS) can serve as a valuable predictor of neurological and radiological outcomes in patients with large and distal vessel occlusion after reperfusion therapy
Keywords: ACVS (The Asymmetrical cortical vein sign), Ischemic penumbra , Large vessel occlusion (LVO), Distal vessel occlusion (DVO)

Published: October 2024

Les statues, bustes ou noms des rues font aujourd’hui l’objet de contestations, de revendications et de gestes militants. La place des marqueurs mémoriels dans l’espace public est interrogée, dans une perspective antiraciste, décoloniale ou féministe. Ce questionnement est l’expression d’une évolution sociétale, orientée vers une forme de reconnaissance des mémoires blessées et invisibles en accord avec une vision et des valeurs actuelles. Prend alors forme une réflexion sur le devenir des monuments et des odonymes. Cet ouvrage examine comment ces débats médiatiques et politiques s’invitent à l’école. Des expériences sont menées en classe pour inscrire cette actualité dans l’histoire de l’esclavage, de la colonisation, des rapports de genre, du mouvement ouvrier. Il s’agit de faire connaître les faits historiques, mais aussi de se pencher sur la construction de ces mémoires. Les élèves sont ainsi conduit·e·s à débattre, à développer leur agentivité et à se former à une citoyenneté éclairée ou engagée. Cette recherche trouve son origine dans un projet collectif élaboré au sein de l’Équipe de didactique de l’histoire et de la citoyenneté (ÉDHICE) de l’Université de Genève, à laquelle appartiennent l’ensemble des auteurs et autrices du livre. Son thème a été développé dans le cadre d’un séminaire de recherche destiné aux enseignant·e·s d’histoire du secondaire en formation.

Maneuvering Strategically with Corkscrewing in Satirical News Programs
Authors: Abdulazeez Ramia Fu’ad 
Published: October 2024

The study aims to build the infrastructure of corkscrewing on an extended pragma-dialectical[i] ground, represented the theory of strategic maneuvering launched in (2002) by Eemern and Houtlosser. The methodology followed involves defining corkscrewing as a strategic concept subsuming goal and audience int its structure, and showing how this concept appeals to each of the three aspects of strategic maneuvering in order to be considered as one of its modes. It has been discovered that the three aspects are not equally instantiated, rather they are represented in a gradient manner. So, those aspects cannot be strictly considered 'inseparable', as called by their advocators, because they have been proved to be separable in corkscrewing yet working successfully. The study recommends investigating this phenomenon in other cultures and compare the results because culture-specificity may lead to vary strategies in a scalar way, thus it could be useful to study it within another culture to investigate whether it undergoes the same path of ‘thisness’ or not. The genre intended to be investigated is satirical news programs as they are specifically representative of what such a phenomenon requires.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionThe translation and use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) within early intervention (EI) systems presents challenges. The Office of Special Education (OSEP) has emphasized results-driven accountability to expand state accountability from compliance to also include quality services that align with EBPs. OSEP’s results-driven accountability provided states the opportunity to design State Systemic Improvement Plans (SSIP) to strengthen the quality of EI services by increasing the capacity of EI systems to implement, scale-up, and sustain use of EBPs. Caregiver coaching is widely accepted as an EBP within EI settings, yet uptake and fidelity to coaching practices remains limited. Such widespread implementation of caregiver coaching is partially limited by a lack of measurement tools that operationalize behaviors consistent with coaching. In this study, we describe the development of the Kentucky Coaching Adherence Rubric-Revised (KCAR-R) and psychometric testing of the instrument.MethodsWe developed and tested the KCAR-R to measure fidelity of coaching practices within a state-wide professional development program, the Coaching in Early Intervention Training and Mentorship Program. We define operational elements of the KCAR-R and rubric design elements related to: creators; users and uses; specificity, judgment complexity; evaluative criteria; quality levels; quality definitions; scoring strategies; presentation; explanation; quality processes; accompanying feedback information; secrecy; and exemplars. With regard to psychometric validation of the KCAR-R, interrater reliability was analyzed using intraclass correlation coefficients across eight raters and 301 randomly selected video submissions. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha across 429 video submissions.ResultsResults showed 0.987 agreement, indicating excellent interrater reliability; item level internal consistency values ranged from 0.860 to 0.882. for scale if item deleted and 0.834 for the total scale.DiscussionFindings from this study showed that the KCAR-R operationalized behaviors that exemplify caregiver coaching and may serve as a resource for other states or programs to document the quality and fidelity of evidence-based EI services. To influence EI provider practices at a systems level, we used implementation science to guide our work and provide examples of how EI systems seeking ways to create sustainable quality services may build upon our approach.

Published: October 2024

BackgroundAmong diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is a strong predictor of short- and long-term prognosis, and adverse cardiovascular events. However, whether SHR is associated with increased risk of presence and severity of chronic kidney (CKD) disease remains undetermined.MethodsPatients with DM from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (1999–2020) were included and divided into 5 groups according to their SHR level (quintile 1 to 5). Study outcomes were CKD, advanced CKD (ACKD), and CKD severity. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used to assess the association between the SHR and outcomes.ResultsTotally, 6,119 patients were included. After adjustment, compared to patients with SHR in quintile 3 (as reference), the risk of CKD is 1.50 (P&lt;0.001) for quintile 1, 1.23 (P=0.140) for quintile 2, 1.95 (P&lt;0.001) for quintile 4, and 1.79 (P&lt;0.001) for quintile 5. For the risk of ACKD, the OR is 1.46 (P=0.410) for quintile 1, 1.07 (P=0.890) for quintile 2, 3.28 (P=0.030) for quintile 4, and 3.89 (P=0.002) for quintile 5. For the CKD severity, the OR is 1.46 (P&lt;0.001) for quintile 1, 1.20 (P=0.163) for quintile 2, 1.84 (P&lt;0.001) for quintile 4, and 1.83 (P&lt;0.001) for quintile 5. RCS analysis also showed a U-shaped association between SHR and outcomes (All P for nonlinearity&lt;0.05).ConclusionOur study demonstrated that too low or too high SHR level is significantly associated with adverse renal outcomes in patients with DM.

IntroductionThis study aimed to elucidate the differential immunological mechanisms and characteristics of hypertension induced by VEGF inhibitors (VEGFi) and VEGF receptor inhibitors (VEGFRi), with the goal of optimizing monitoring strategies and treatment protocols.MethodsWe investigated the risk of immune-related adverse events associated with VEGFi/VEGFRi-induced hypertension by analyzing the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Findings were corroborated with blood pressure characteristics observed in clinical patients and preclinical models exposed to various VEGF/VEGFRi. Clinical and preclinical studies were conducted to compare immunological responses and hypertension profiles between inhibitor classes. An integrative analysis across cancer types and species was performed, focusing on key signaling pathways.ResultsAnalysis of FAERS data, in conjunction with clinical observations, revealed that both VEGFi and VEGFRi significantly elevated the risk of immune-mediated, blood pressure-related adverse events (ROR=7.75, 95% CI: 7.76-7.95). Subsequent clinical and preclinical studies demonstrated differential immunological responses and hypertension profiles between inhibitor classes. VEGFRi exhibited a more rapid onset, greater blood pressure elevation, and higher incidence of immune-mediated adverse events compared to VEGFi (Systolic BP: ROR=0 for VEGFi vs. ROR=12.25, 95% CI: 6.54-22.96 for VEGFRi; Diastolic BP: ROR=5.09, 95% CI: 0.60-43.61 for VEGFi vs. ROR=12.90, 95% CI: 3.73-44.55 for VEGFRi). Integrative analysis across cancer types and species, focusing on key signaling pathways, revealed that VEGF/VEGFRi-induced blood pressure elevation was associated with immunomodulation of the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway (R=-0.379, P=0.0435), alterations in triglyceride metabolism (R=-0.664, P=0.0001), modulation of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive calcium release channel activity (R=0.389, P=0.0378), and dysregulation of nitric oxide eNOS activation and metabolism (R=-0.439, P=0.0179).DiscussionThe temporal dynamics of these effects demonstrated greater significance than dose-dependent responses. Both VEGFi and VEGFRi significantly augmented the risk of immune-mediated, blood pressure-related adverse events, with VEGFRi inducing a more rapid and pronounced onset of blood pressure elevation and a higher incidence of immune-related, blood pressure-associated adverse events compared to VEGFi.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionSoil bacteria offer a promising approach to bioremediate pesticide contamination in agricultural ecosystems. This study investigated the potential of bacteria isolated from rice paddy soil for bioremediating fipronil and thiobencarb, common agricultural pesticides.MethodsBacterial isolates capable of degrading fipronil and thiobencarb were enriched in a mineral salt medium. A response surface methodology with a Box-Behnken design was utilized to optimize pesticide degradation with the isolated bacteria. Bioaugmentation tests were performed in paddy soils with varying conditions.Results and discussionSix strains, including single isolates and their mixture, efficiently degraded these pesticides at high concentrations (up to 800 µg/mL). Enterobacter sp., Brucella sp. (alone and combined), and a mixture of Stenotrophomonas sp., Bordetella sp., and Citrobacter sp. effectively degraded fipronil and thiobencarb, respectively. Notably, a single Pseudomonas sp. strain degraded a mixture of both pesticides. Optimal degradation conditions were identified as a slightly acidic pH (6-7), moderate pesticide concentrations (20-50 µg/mL), and a specific inoculum size. Bioaugmentation assays in real-world paddy soils (sterile/non-sterile, varying moisture) demonstrated that these bacteria significantly increased degradation rates (up to 14.15-fold for fipronil and 5.13-fold for thiobencarb). The study identifies these novel bacterial strains as promising tools for bioremediation and bioaugmentation strategies to tackle fipronil and thiobencarb contamination in paddy ecosystems.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionThis systematic review explores the use of neurophysiological measurements to study emotional responses to cosmetic products. The aim is to evaluate existing literature on these measurements in cosmetics, identify the main findings, highlight methodological challenges, and propose new guidelines for future research.MethodA systematic search focusing on neurophysiological measures to determine emotions induced by different cosmetic products was carried out in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.ResultsA total of 33 articles identified with the EBSCO database met the inclusion criteria. In all, 10 different measurement tools were used in these articles to assess the emotional effects of cosmetic products.DiscussionThis review emphasizes the complexity of interactions between cosmetics and emotional responses. It underscores the importance of future research with a more holistic approach that couples several physiological measurements. Among them, electrophysiological brain activity shows potential for enhancing understanding of emotional responses related to cosmetic products. Frontal asymmetry, particularly in the alpha frequency band, was often use and frequently linked to positive emotional states, although conflicting evidence exists. Additionally, cardiac activity, specifically the LF/HF ratio, emerges as a promising marker for differentiating between different cosmetic products. However, methodological heterogeneity, present challenges for replicability, generalizability, and complicate data interpretation.

IntroductionMusic making is a process by which humans across cultures come together to create patterns of sounds that are aesthetically pleasing. What remains unclear is how this aesthetic outcome affects the sensorimotor interaction between participants.MethodHere we approach this question using an interpersonal sensorimotor synchronization paradigm to test whether the quality of a jointly created chord (consonant vs. dissonant) affects movement coordination. We recruited non-musician participants in dyads to perform a dyadic synchronization-continuation task (dSCT): on each trial, participants first synchronized their movements to a metronome (synchronization phase) and then continued tapping together at the same tempo without the metronome (continuation phase). Each tap yielded a note and participants heard both their own and that of their partner, thus creating a chord that was varied to be either consonant (Perf5 or Maj6) or dissonant (Min2 or Maj2). For each trial, participants also rated the pleasure they felt in creating the sounds together. Additionally, they completed questionnaires about social closeness to the other participant, musical reward sensitivity and musical training.ResultsResults showed that participants' taps were closer in time when they jointly created consonant (high pleasure) vs. dissonant (low pleasure) chords, and that pleasure experienced by the dyad in each trial predicted interpersonal synchronization. However, consonance did not affect individual synchronization with the metronome or individual tapping when the metronome was discontinued. The effect of consonance on synchronization was greater in dyads who reported feeling less close prior to the task.DiscussionTogether, these results highlight the role of consonance in shaping the temporal coordination of our actions with others. More broadly, this work shows that the aesthetic outcome of what we create together affects joint behaviors.
