New cluster algebras from old: integrability beyond Zamolodchikov periodicity
Authors: Hone Andrew N W , Kim Wookyung , Mase Takafumi 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
We consider discrete dynamical systems obtained as deformations of mutations in cluster algebras associated with finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. The original (undeformed) dynamical systems provide the simplest examples of Zamolodchikov periodicity: they are affine birational maps for which every orbit is periodic with the same period. Following on from preliminary work by one of us with Kouloukas, here we present integrable maps obtained from deformations of cluster mutations related to the simple root systems

, which already appeared in our previous work, we show that there is a commuting map of Quispel–Roberts–Thompson (QRT) type which is built from a composition of mutations and a permutation applied to the same cluster algebra of rank 6, with an additional 2 frozen variables. Furthermore, both the deformed

map and the QRT map correspond to translation by a generator in the Mordell-Weil group of a rational elliptic surface of rank two, and the underlying cluster algebra comes from a quiver that is mutation equivalent to the q-Painlevé III quiver found by Okubo. The deformed integrable maps of types

Authors: Yadav Guttimari Trivedh , Gowri Manohar T. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The major problem in Power Transmission and Distribution networks is to detect the High Impedance Fault (HIF) which is caused by a conducting medium when it comes in contact with a surface having high resistance value. HIF faults are hazardous to the public and a major task to deal with for operating personnel. The objective of this paper is to present review on the literature pertaining to the past research on such type of faults and the importance of Machine Learning Techniques for classifying and detecting them.
Assessment of groundwater vulnerability and risk to pollution in Con Dao island, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Vietnam

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The assessment of groundwater vulnerability has been widely used to manage and prevent groundwater from contamination risk. This study applied the model of GIS-based GALDIT was for groundwater vulnerability and risk assessment in a coastal district of Con Dao island, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Vietnam. The Groundwater Risk Assessment Model (GRAM) was used to assess the risk of groundwater pollution in the study region. The GALDIT model used six hydrogeological components to generate a GALDIT Index map, which illustrates how vulnerable the local groundwater is to contamination. The platform of GIS-based GRAM was exploited to construct risk maps related to salinity intrusion, hazard release, and hazard consequences. According to the findings, more than 80% of the groundwater in Con Dao district is vulnerable to saltwater intrusion, with the greatest concentration in the district’s central section. Only 18.12% of the district, in the Co Ong region to the northeast of the Con Dao district, has low or very low susceptibility. However, after accounting for contamination barriers and the capacity to identify and detect risks, it was shown that most areas, or around 87% of the study area, had transitioned to a low-risk level of groundwater pollution. The groundwater vulnerability and risk maps created serve as baseline information for decision-makers in governance and planning to effectively monitor and protect groundwater resources from pollution.
Environmental risk assessment of plastic waste from riverside traditional markets at Tra Vinh Province, Vietnam
Authors: Tuan Viet Tran , Thanh Thao Tran , Le Tam P.A. , Bao Son Trinh 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Traditional markets in Mekong Delta are usually located close to waterways such as rivers, streams, or channels. Although market’s waste is collected daily, a significant volume of them, including plastic waste was dumped to surrounding aquatic environments. In this study, a total of 20 composite solid waste samples from 10 riverside markets in coastal districts of Tra Vinh Province, were collected. In the laboratory, after the determination of the physical composition of market waste samples, the plastic waste was classified into seven common types including PET, HDPE, LDPE, PVC, PP, PS, and others. Then, five markets with the highest solid waste generation were selected to collect one sediment and three water samples along the beside waterways to analyse bisphenol A (BPA) contents. The results showed that plastic amount in solid waste samples inside markets ranged from 23.3% to 36.7%, while those along the waterways presented 26.7% to 43.3%. The highest amount of plastic type was PET, followed by PP, LDPE, PS, HDPE, and PVC. The highest BPA contents in both water and sediment samples right in front of the riverside market gates suggested the high risk for aquatic environment around the markets.
Becoming Adolescents and Pulling Away
Authors: Kurz Demie 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Chapter 2 provides background on the changes mothers face in their relationships with their teens when they enter adolescence, and the challenges these changes present for the process of letting go. Mothers of all backgrounds describe their teens as “pulling away” during this time. Their teens begin to see things differently from their parents, they want to make more of their own decisions, and they challenge their parents’ authority. Mothers must negotiate with teens over their rights and privileges as teens demand to make more of their own decisions. Negotiations can go smoothly, and mothers and teens can experience conflicts. As teens enter young adulthood, parents face new decisions about how to support their young adults while promoting their autonomy and independence during a time when gaining the credentials to reach adulthood has become a more lengthy process. Young adults need financial support for a longer period than in the past.
Glitchy transnationalism: When queer migrants meet the state online
Authors: Rachdi Hatim 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Drawing on ethnographic research I conducted between May 2022 and January 2024 with queer migrants in Athens, Greece, I offer the conceptualization of “glitchy transnationalism” as a corrective to the transnational promise of queer digital media—the notion that these platforms can seamlessly facilitate connections across national boundaries among queer individuals (e.g., Grindr). I explore how this promise falters for two queer migrant individuals, Ziri and Tilila—both of whom I interpret as encountering two glitches. I argue that understanding these perceived transnational “failures” as glitches showcases the interplay of factors such as legal status, migrancy, race, sexuality, and gender identity in shaping the lived realities of queer migrants within transnational digital spaces. Ultimately, this research underscores the relationship between state dynamics and digital media in the lives of queer migrants, urging scholars to adopt a lens that recognizes glitches as diagnostic of power dynamics within queer digital realms.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Salmonella Paratyphi A is the causative agent of paratyphoid fever A which is a serious threat to human health in many countries. The cigR gene located in Salmonella pathogenicity island 3 is a type III secretion system 2 effector gene. However, the influence of cigR gene on the pathogenicity of Salmonella Paratyphi A remains unclear. Here, a cigR gene deletion mutant of Salmonella Paratyphi A was constructed and its pathogenic changes were also evaluated. It was found that both the growth and biochemical features have not changed after the loss of cigR, but the absence of cigR significantly enhanced the replication and/or survival ability in phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated human macrophage THP-1 cells and in mouse; the proliferative activity and apoptosis of PMA-differentiated THP-1 cell were significantly decreased and increased, respectively, after the lack of cigR gene; and the mutant showed increased virulence to a mouse infection model by decreased half-lethal dose (LD50) value and enhanced the proliferation ratio of bacteria in vivo. These results demonstrated that CigR is an anti-virulence factor and plays an important role in the pathogenicity of Salmonella Paratyphi A.

From bench to clinic: the development of VLA1553/IXCHIQ, a live-attenuated chikungunya vaccine
Authors: Chen Lin H , Fritzer Andrea , Hochreiter Romana , Dubischar Katrin , Meyer Stéphanie 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

Background
Over the past 20 years, over 5 million cases of chikungunya, a mosquito-transmitted viral disease, have been reported in over 110 countries. Until recently, preventative strategies for chikungunya were largely ineffective, relying on vector control and individual avoidance of mosquito bites.

Methods
This review outlines the preclinical and clinical efficacy and safety data that led to the approval of VLA1553 (IXCHIQ®), a live-attenuated vaccine against chikungunya disease. It also describes the innovative development pathway of VLA1553, based on an immunological surrogate of protection, and discusses ongoing and future post-licensure studies.

Results
In mice and non-human primate models, VLA1553 elicited high titres of neutralizing antibodies, conferred protection against wild-type chikungunya virus challenge and raised no safety concerns. A Phase 1 clinical trial of VLA1553 demonstrated 100% seroconversion among 120 healthy participants, with sustained neutralizing antibody titres after 12 months. These results and determination of a surrogate marker of protection led to advancement of VLA1553 directly into Phase 3 clinical development, as agreed with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency. The pivotal Phase 3 trial met its primary immunogenicity endpoint, achieving seroprotective levels based on immuno-bridging in baseline seronegative participants 28 days post-vaccination. These findings enabled submission of a Biologics Licence Application to the FDA for accelerated approval of VLA1553 in the US for adults aged ≥18 years. Ongoing and planned studies will confirm the clinical efficacy/effectiveness and safety of VLA1553 in adults and younger individuals, and will generate data in chikungunya endemic countries that have the highest unmet need.

Conclusion
VLA1553 is the first vaccine approved for the prevention of chikungunya disease in adults, following accelerated development based on a serological surrogate marker of protection. VLA1553 adds to strategies to reduce the spread and burden of chikungunya in endemic populations and travellers.
Mean-motion resonances with interfering density waves
Authors: Yang Huan , Li Ya-Ping 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
In this work, we study the dynamics of two less massive objects moving around a central massive object, which are all embedded within a thin accretion disc. In addition to the gravitational interaction between these objects, the disc–object interaction is also crucial for describing the long-term dynamics of the multibody system, especially in the regime of mean-motion resonances. We point out that near the resonance the density waves generated by the two moving objects generally coherently interfere with each other, giving rise to extra angular momentum fluxes. The resulting backreaction on the objects is derived within the thin-disc scenario, which explicitly depends on the resonant angle and sensitively depends on the smoothing scheme used in the two-dimensional theory. We have performed hydrodynamical simulations with planets embedded within a thin accretion disc and have found qualitatively agreement on the signatures of interfering density waves by measuring the torques on the embedded objects, for the cases of $2:1$ and $3:2$ resonance. By including in interference torque and the migration torques in the evolution of a pair of planets, we show that the chance of resonance trapping depends on the sign of the interference torque. For negative interference torques the pairs are more likely located at off-resonance regimes. The negative interference torques may also explain the $1~{{\ \rm per\ cent}}-2~{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ offset (for the period ratios) from the exact resonance values as observed in Kepler multiplanet systems.
Outcomes of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Pediatric Trauma Patients
Authors: Ahmed Nasim , Kuo Yen-Hong 
Published: September 2024

IMPORTANCE:
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is one of the interventions that have been in practice for ARDS for decades.

OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the outcomes of ECMO in pediatric trauma patients who suffered from ARDS.

DESIGN:
Observational cohort study.

SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS:
The Trauma Quality Improvement Program database for years 2017 to 2019 and 2021 through 2022 was accessed for the study. All children younger than 18 years old who were admitted to the hospital after trauma and suffered from ARDS were included in the study. Other variables included in the study were patients’ demographics, clinical characteristics, Injury Severity Score (ISS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, comorbidities, and outcomes.

MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES:
ECMO is the exposure, and the outcomes are in-hospital mortality and hospital complications (acute kidney injury [AKI], pneumonia and deep vein thrombosis [DVT]).

RESULTS:
Of 453 patients who qualified for the study, propensity score matching found 50 pairs of patients. There were no significant differences identified between the groups, ECMO+ vs. ECMO– on patients’ age in years (16 yr; interquartile range [IQR], 13.25–17 yr vs. 16 yr [14.25–17 yr]), race (White; 62.0% vs. 66.0%), sex (male; 78% vs. 76%), ISS (23 [IQR, 9.25–34] vs. 22 [9.25–32]), and GCS (15 [IQR, 3–15] vs. 13.5 [3–15]), mechanism of injury; and comorbidities. There was no difference between the groups, ECMO+ vs. ECMO–, in-hospital mortality (10.0% vs. 20.0%; p = 0.302), hospital complications (AKI 12.0% vs. 2.0%; p = 0.131), pneumonia (10.0% vs. 20.0%; p = 0.182 > ), and DVT (16% vs. 6%; p = 0.228).

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:
No difference in mortality was observed in injured children who suffered from the ARDS and were placed on ECMO when compared with patients who were not placed on ECMO. Patients with trauma and ARDS who require ECMO have comparable outcomes to those who do not receive ECMO. A larger sample size study is needed to find the exact benefit of ECMO in this patients’ cohort.
Sabbath Observance and Delayed Primary Repair of Lacerations: Experience from a Plastic Surgery Practice
Authors: Scheinman Marcel 
Published: September 2024

Background:
Despite public and medical professionals’ misconceptions about the timing of laceration repair and its consequences, it has been shown that the concept of the “golden period” has not been established, and in many uncomplicated wounds, may extend beyond 24 hours. This author presents his experience with delaying primary repairs, which may represent one of the largest published casuistries.

Methods:
A retrospective review of cases over a 14-year practice and review of the literature on the topic of the golden period and delayed primary repair of lacerations were performed.

Results:
Of a total of 6408 lacerations repaired, 313 were identified as planned delayed repairs (4.9%). The time of delay was estimated to be between 3 and 28 hours from the injury until treatment. There were no reported complications on the delayed repairs.

Conclusion:
Delayed repair of uncomplicated wounds does not increase the rate of infection or impact the final cosmetic outcome and may be applied safely by qualified professionals in carefully selected cases.
Association and risk of metabolic syndrome and kidney stone disease: outcomes from a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Dassanayake Sohani N. , Lafont Tanguy , Somani Bhaskar K. 
Published: September 2024

Purpose of review
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has emerged as a potential contributor to the development of kidney stone disease (KSD). This study aims to conduct a systematic review of the literature, and meta-analysis of the association between MetS and KSD.

Recent findings
Systematic review revealed Fifteen articles (433 201 patients) were eligible for analysis. Meta-analysis of 11 studies identified a statistically significant association between MetS and KSD with unadjusted odds ratio of 2.02 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.96–2.08, P < 0.001], and pooled adjusted odds ratio of 1.22 [95% CI 1.09–1.37, P < 0.001]. Of the different MetS traits, hypertension and impaired glucose tolerance were the most significantly associated with KSD.

Summary
This study confirms a significant association between MetS and KSD. Despite variations in MetS definitions across different studies analysed, consistent associations were observed across studies. This may have clinical implications in that guidelines do not currently recommend routine MetS screening in KSD patients.

Published: September 2024

Two novel actinomycetal strains, designated CC-R113T and CC-R104T, were isolated from the tissues of two macroalgae collected on the northern Portuguese coast. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene showed that strain CT-R113T belongs to the genus Nocardiopsis, being closely related to Nocardiopsis umidischolae 66/93T and Nocardiopsis tropica VKM Ac-1457T, with 98.65 and 98.39 % sequence similarity, respectively. The clade formed between the three type strains was confirmed by phylogenomic analysis. The genome of strain CT-R113T was 7.27 Mb in size with a G+C content of 71.3 mol %, with average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of 89.59 and 90.14 % with strains 66/93T and VKM Ac-1457T, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids were identified as C18 : 1
ω9c, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Menaquinone 10 (MK-10) was the major respiratory quinone. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CC-R104T belongs to the genus Rhodococcus and is most closely related to Rhodococcus pyridinivorans DSM 44555T, with 98.24 % sequence similarity. However, phylogenomic analysis revealed that strain CC-R104T establishes a clade with Rhodococcus artemisae DSM 45380T, being more distant from Rhodococcus pyridinivorans DSM 44555T. The genome of strain CC-R104T was 5.34 Mb in size with a G+C content of 67.01 mol%. The ANI value between strains CC-R104T and DSM 45380T was 81.2 % and between strains CC-R104T and DSM 44555T was 81.5 %. The major cellular fatty acids were identified as C18 : 1
ω9c, C16 : 0 and summed feature 3. Menaquinone 8 (MK-8) was the only respiratory quinone. For both CC-R113T and CC-R104T, optimum growth was observed at pH 7.0, 28 °C and 0–5 % NaCl and whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the cell-wall diamino acid. On the basis of phenotypic, molecular and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strains CT-R113T and CC-R104T are considered to represent novel species, for which the names Nocardiopsis codii sp. nov. (type strain CT-R113T=LMG33234T=UCCCB172T) and Rhodococcus chondri sp. nov. (type strain CC-R104T=LMG33233T=UCCCB171T) are proposed.

Published: September 2024

AbstractType-B aor tic dissection (TBAD) represents a serious medical emergency with up to a 50% associated 5-year mortality caused by thoracic aorta, dissection-associated aneurysmal (DAA) degeneration, and rupture. Unfortunately, conventional size related diagnostic methods cannot distinguish high-risk DAAs that benefit from surgical intervention from stable DAAs. Our goal is to use DAA stiffness measured with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) as a biomarker to distinguish high-risk DAAs from stable DAAs. This is a feasibility study using MRE to 1) fabricate human-like geometries TBAD phantoms with different stiffnesses. 2) measure stiffness in TBAD phantoms with rheometry and 3) demonstrate the first successful application of MRE to the thoracic aorta of a human volunteer. Aortic dissection phantoms with heterogenous wall stiffness demonstrated the correlation between MRE-derived stiffness and rheometric measured stiffness. A pilot scan was performed in a healthy volunteer to test the technique’s feasibility in the thoracic aorta.
