Authors: Mason Geneva E. , Auerbach Randy P. , Stewart Jeremy G. 
Published: August 2024

BackgroundNon‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI) is common among adolescents receiving inpatient psychiatric treatment and the months post‐discharge is a high‐risk period for self‐injurious behavior. Thus, identifying predictors that shape the course of post‐discharge NSSI may provide insights into ways to improve clinical outcomes. Accordingly, we used machine learning to identify the strongest predictors of NSSI trajectories drawn from a comprehensive clinical assessment.MethodsThe study included adolescents (N = 612; females n = 435; 71.1%) aged 13–19‐years‐old (M = 15.6, SD = 1.4) undergoing inpatient treatment. Youth were administered clinical interviews and symptom questionnaires at intake (baseline) and before termination. NSSI frequency was assessed at 1‐, 3‐, and 6‐month follow‐ups. Latent class growth analyses were used to group adolescents based on their pattern of NSSI across follow‐ups.ResultsThree classes were identified: Low Stable (n = 83), Moderate Fluctuating (n = 260), and High Persistent (n = 269). Important predictors of the High Persistent class in our regularized regression models (LASSO) included baseline psychiatric symptoms and comorbidity, past‐week suicidal ideation (SI) severity, lifetime average and worst‐point SI intensity, and NSSI in the past 30 days (bs = 0.75–2.33). Only worst‐point lifetime suicide ideation intensity was identified as a predictor of the Low Stable class (b = −8.82); no predictors of the Moderate Fluctuating class emerged.ConclusionsThis study found a set of intake clinical variables that indicate which adolescents may experience persistent NSSI post‐discharge. Accordingly, this may help identify youth that may benefit from additional monitoring and support post‐hospitalization.

AbstractBackgroundNakaseomyces glabratus (N. glabratus) formerly known as Candida glabrata (C. glabrata), is an endogenous opportunistic pathogen, which is generally located in the gastrointestinal tract but can spread in immunocompromised patients. N. glabratus is the second most common pathogen that causes candidemia in several countries. N. glabratus virulence factors may increase antifungal resistance and reduce the number of available treatment options. High resistance to azoles and increasing resistance to echinocandins have been previously reported in N. glabratus.ObjectiveTo establish the distribution of N. glabratus isolates in Europe and its drug susceptibility/resistance in each country over the last 7 years.MethodsThe search was performed across three databases: PubMed, Scopus and Scielo, using the MeSH terms: “Candida glabrata”, “Nakaseomyces glabratus”, “Europe”, “resistance” and “Epidemiology” exclusively in English. All available information from January 2002 to December 2022 was included, excluding reviews, meta‐analyses and book chapters.ResultsFifty‐seven articles with information on antifungal susceptibility in Europe were retrieved and analysed with a total of 15,400 reported C. glabrata isolates. Remarkably, nations that presented the maximum number of cases during the study period included the United Kingdom (n = 7241, 47.02%), France (n = 3190, 20.71%), Spain (n = 900, 5.84%), Hungary (n = 745, 4.84%) and Italy (n = 486, 3.16%). C. glabrata isolates presented resistance to azoles [voriconazole (n = 2225, 14.45%), fluconazole (n = 1612, 10.47%), itraconazole (n = 337, 2.19%) and clotrimazole (n = 89, 0.58%)], increased resistance to echinocandins, especially to anidulafungin (n = 138, 0.89%), and high sensitivity to amphotericin B.ConclusionsThe number of candidemia cases associated with triazole‐resistant N. glabratus isolates have been increasing in Europe. Therefore, echinocandins and amphotericin B can be considered optional empirical treatments; however, antifungal susceptibility testing is required to determine the best therapeutic options.

AbstractPopulation genetic analysis of invasive populations can provide valuable insights into the source of introductions, pathways for expansion, and their demographic histories. Flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris) are a prolific invasive species with high fecundity, long‐distance dispersal, and piscivorous feeding habits that can lead to declines in native fish populations. In this study, we analyse the genetics of invasive P. olivaris in the Mid‐Atlantic region to assess their connectivity and attempt to reconstruct the history of introduced populations. Based on an assessment across 13 microsatellite loci, P. olivaris from the Susquehanna River system (N = 537), Schuylkill River (N = 33), and Delaware River (N = 1) have low genetic diversity (global Hobs = 0.504), although we detected no evidence of substantial inbreeding (FIS = −0.083 to 0.022). P. olivaris from these different river systems were genetically distinct, suggesting separate introductions. However, population structure was much weaker within each river system and exhibited a pattern of high connectivity, with some evidence of isolation by distance. P. olivaris from the Susquehanna and Schuylkill rivers showed evidence for recent genetic bottlenecks, and demographic models were consistent with historical records, which suggest that populations were established by recent founder events consisting of a small number of individuals. Our results show the risk posed by small introductions of P. olivaris, which can spread widely once a population is established, and highlight the importance of prevention and sensitive early detection methods to prevent the spread of P. olivaris in the future.
Modeling the Effects of Task Repetition in Second Language Writing: Examining Interindividual and Intraindividual Variability
Authors: Hiver Phil , Al‐Hoorie Ali H. , Murakami Akira 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we report a longitudinal study of the effects of procedural task repetition on learners’ task performance (i.e., syntactic complexity in relation to lexical complexity). We investigated how task repetition results in differences at the group and individual level across each task interval (T = 7). Intermediate‐level Saudi learners of English (N = 93) performed a written task biweekly over the course of a whole semester. To control for text type, mode and tenor were fixed at each data elicitation moment, but field was varied in these writing tasks to keep learners engaged. Using Bayesian generalized additive mixed models and mixed location‐scale models, we analyzed specific ways that groups and individuals changed across time over the course of each task iteration and in relation to previous points. Our results showed that learners’ task performance demonstrated nonlinearity, stability, and variability with meaningfully different effects on individual and group‐level development over time.

ABSTRACTFree‐living marine nematodes play crucial roles in the benthic ecosystem and serve as valuable bioindicators for monitoring environmental stress. We explore the community structure of free‐living marine nematodes in the beach ecosystem near Bandar Abbas port city of Iran. The research focused on assessing the impact of domestic and industrial influences during winter and summer seasons in 2018 and 2019. Three coastal locations, namely KhurGursuzan (KG), Power Plant (PP), and Resalat (RE), were sampled, with KG under domestic wastewater influence, PP characterized by industrial activities, and RE serving as the control site. A total of 41 nematode genera were identified during the study, and dominant genera varied across locations, namely, Daptonema, Sabatieria, Promonhystera, Ptycholaimellus, and Eleutherolaimus at KG; Spirinia, Chromadorina, Terschellingia, Eleutherolaimus, and Promonhystera at PP; and Oncholaimus, Pomponema, Viscosia, Ptycholaimellus, Daptonema, and Eleutherolaimus at RE. These dominant genera accounted for 80% of the total nematode community during the sampling periods. The study revealed significant differences in abundance and genus diversity among the sites, with pollution‐affected sites exhibiting the lowest nematode diversity. Sediment granulometry showed a positive correlation with genus diversity across the sites, and the structure of the nematode assemblage was negatively influenced by polychlorinated biphenyls and total organic matter. Surprisingly, the spatial patterns in nematode assemblage structure and diversity remained consistent across both studied years. These findings contribute to our understanding of marine ecosystem health and the role of free‐living nematodes as bioindicators in the Persian Gulf.

Summary

Understanding how life history shapes genetic diversity is a fundamental issue in evolutionary biology, with important consequences for conservation. However, we still have an incomplete picture of the impact of life history on genome‐wide patterns of diversity, especially in long‐lived semelparous plants.

Puya raimondii is a high‐altitude semelparous species from the Andes that flowers at 40–100 years of age. We sequenced the whole genome and estimated the nucleotide diversity of 200 individuals sampled from nine populations. Coalescent‐based approaches were then used to infer past population dynamics. Finally, these results were compared with results obtained for the iteroparous species, Puya macrura.

The nine populations of P. raimondii were highly divergent, highly inbred, and carried an exceptionally high genetic load. They are genetically depauperate, although, locally in the genome, balancing selection contributed to the maintenance of genetic polymorphism. While both P. raimondii and P. macrura went through a severe bottleneck during the Pleistocene, P. raimondii did not recover from it and continuously declined, while P. macrura managed to bounce back.

Our results demonstrate the importance of life history, in particular generation time and reproductive strategy, in affecting population dynamics and genomic variation, and illustrate the genetic fragility of long‐lived semelparous plants.
Diversity and functional differentiation of renewal buds in temperate herbaceous plants

Published: August 2024

Summary

Spring regrowth in temperate perennials relies on renewal buds, which form a key component in the shoot growth cycle. Still, we possess almost no information on these renewal buds, which is becoming more pressing with the current climate change. Most existing studies concentrated on easy‐to‐study aboveground buds of woody plants, whose morphology has largely been linked to frost protection. It is not clear to what extent these findings apply also to herbaceous species.

We therefore examined protective traits and preformation of winter renewal buds in 379 species of temperate herbs, and tested how these traits are distributed across the phylogeny and related to other bud bank and whole‐plant traits.

We identified a major gradient from few, large, highly preformed, scale‐covered buds associated with larger belowground storage organs deep in the soil, to small, numerous, less preformed, and naked buds near the soil surface.

Belowground renewal buds of temperate herbs show several distinct strategies for winter survival and spring regrowth that might affect their response to changing winter and early spring conditions. Renewal bud traits are driven not only by frost protection but also by protection of the apical meristem from mechanical disturbance in the soil.

AbstractHeavy and costly use of phosphorus (P) fertiliser is often needed to achieve high crop yields, but only a small amount of applied P fertiliser is available to most crop plants. Hakea prostrata (Proteaceae) is endemic to the P‐impoverished landscape of southwest Australia and has several P‐saving traits. We identified 16 members of the Phosphate Transporter 1 (PHT1) gene family (HpPHT1;1‐HpPHT1;12d) in a long‐read genome assembly of H. prostrata. Based on phylogenetics, sequence structure and expression patterns, we classified HpPHT1;1 as potentially involved in Pi uptake from soil and HpPHT1;8 and HpPHT1;9 as potentially involved in Pi uptake and root‐to‐shoot translocation. Three genes, HpPHT1;4, HpPHT1;6 and HpPHT1;8, lacked regulatory PHR1‐binding sites (P1BS) in the promoter regions. Available expression data for HpPHT1;6 and HpPHT1;8 indicated they are not responsive to changes in P supply, potentially contributing to the high P sensitivity of H. prostrata. We also discovered a Proteaceae‐specific clade of closely‐spaced PHT1 genes that lacked conserved genetic architecture among genera, indicating an evolutionary hot spot within the genome. Overall, the genome assembly of H. prostrata provides a much‐needed foundation for understanding the genetic mechanisms of novel adaptations to low P soils in southwest Australian plants.

AbstractAllelopathic research is not getting the intended consideration because of the complexities involved in their isolation, identification, understanding their modes of action, interactions with other environmental factors, impacts on non‐target organisms and exploration of their utility in diverse fields. Additionally, their variability and trace availability have presented hurdles in establishing future research utilities and their field applications. Exploring the historical context of allelopathic research is essential for obtaining a more profound understanding of the progression in this research domain and to identify the research gaps and potential future prospectives. Therefore, the current bibliometric review aims to examine the research advancements, trends, hotspots, research gaps and to identify future prospectives in allelopathic research. A Scopus database search was carried out to collect the bibliometric data using the combination of multiple search strings in advance search option. The outcomes of this study revealed a total of 5427 published articles, with an average of 19.12 citations per article. Despite the increasing trend in research and publications on allelopathy/allelochemicals over the last decade, the majority of allelopathic research remains focused on investigating novel allelochemicals and their potential for weed management. Other crucial considerations like their phytotoxicity and ecotoxicity, selectivity for crop growth, interactions with herbicides and their derivatives, biochemical signalling, identification of germplasm in allelopathic plants, inducing allelopathic trait into enhanced cultivars, their ultimate fate in the open environment are sparsely investigated. It is anticipated that this review will draw greater attention to some overlooked domains within allelopathic research.

AbstractBackgroundImproved understanding of how US service members transition from chronic/baseline to acute suicide risk is warranted. One such model, the Integrated Motivational Volitional Model of Suicide, posits entrapment as central to this process. However, entrapment has not been extensively investigated within military populations.MethodsThis study examines the factor structure, reliability, and predictive validity of the Entrapment Scale (E‐Scale) within a military population. Exploratory structural equation modeling (SEM) and confirmatory factor analysis compared one‐ versus two‐factor structures of the E‐Scale. Autoregressive SEM assessed if E‐Scale scores predicted suicidal ideation and suicide attempt likelihood at 6‐ and 12‐month follow‐up, and examined whether the impact of entrapment was moderated by social support (i.e., appraisal, tangible, and belonging).ResultsResults favored a two‐factor solution (external and internal) of entrapment. The relationship between entrapment and suicide outcomes was moderated by perceived social support but in unexpected directions. Unexpectedly, social support strengthened the relationship between external entrapment and suicide outcomes for most models. Only tangible support moderated the relationship between internal entrapment (IE) and suicide outcomes as predicted.ConclusionsIE is linked with suicidal ideation in the short‐term, whereas external entrapments relationship with suicide outcomes may reflect more persistent social challenges for military members.

Published: August 2024

AbstractBackgroundBasosquamous carcinoma (BSC) is a rare and aggressive nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) that exhibits features of both BCC and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The gold standard for diagnosis is histopathological examination. BSC is often challenging to diagnose and manage due to its mixed histological features and potential for aggressive behaviorAimTo identify specific features aiding clinicians in differentiating BSCs using non‐invasive diagnostic techniques.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective descriptive, monocentric study of the epidemiological clinical, dermoscopic, and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) features of histopathologically proven BSCs diagnosed between 2010 and 2023. A total of 192 cases were selected.ResultsThe study population consisted of 17 men (60.9%). Total 95.8% of patients at the time of diagnosis were ≥50 years. BSC occurred in the head and neck area in 124 cases (63.1%) of which 65 (33.9%) were in the H‐zone. For 47.4% of patients, BSC presented as a macule with undefined clinical margins (43.3%). Dermoscopic images were available for 98 cases: the most common parameter was the presence of whitish structureless areas (59 [60.2%]), keratin masses (58 [59.2%]), superficial scales, and ulceration or blood crusts (49 [50%] both). Vessels pattern analysis revealed hairpin vessels (exclusively) and linear irregular vessels as the most frequent (55 [56.1%] both). RCM examination was performed in 21 cases which revealed specific SCC features such as solar elastosis (19 [90.5%]), atypical honeycomb pattern (17 [89%]), proliferation of atypical keratinocytes (16 [80%]) combined with BCC’ ones as bright tumor islands (12 [57.8%]), and cleft‐like dark spaces (11 [53.4%]).DiscussionOur study reflects the largest cohort of BSCs from a single institution. We described an incidence rate of 4.7%, higher than reported in the Literature, with the involvement of patients ≥50years in almost 96% of cases and an overall male predominance. At clinical examination, BSC was described as a hyperkeratotic macule with undefined clinical margins with one or more dermoscopic SCC’ features, whereas the presence of typical BCC aspects was observed in less than 10% of cases, differently from what was previously reported. At RCM analysis, BSCs presented with an atypical honeycomb pattern with proliferation of atypical keratinocytes, hyperkeratosis, and in nearly 55% of patients, bright tumor islands with cleft‐like dark spaces.ConclusionThe distinctive dermoscopic patterns, along with the RCM features aid in the differentiation of BSCs from other NMSCs.

AbstractBackgroundInfection remains a relevant complication after kidney transplantation (KT). A well‐established strategy in modern medicine is the application of bundles of evidence‐based practice in clinical settings. The objective of this study is to explore the application of a personalized bundle of measures aimed to reduce the incidence of infection in the first 12 months after KT.MethodsA single‐center prospective cohort of 148 patients undergoing KT between February 2018 and September 2019 that received an individualized infection prevention strategy was compared to a preintervention cohort (n = 159). The bundle comprised a review of the patient's immunization history, infection risk by country of origin, screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), antimicrobial prophylaxis, and immunological assessment. Individualized recommendations were accordingly provided at a scheduled visit at day +30 after transplantation.ResultsThe intervention cohort showed a higher compliance rate with the recommended vaccine schedule, screening for geographically restricted infections and LTBI, and intravenous immunoglobulin and vitamin D supplementation (p values <.001). The 1‐year incidence rate of infection was lower in the intervention cohort (42.6% vs. 57.9%; p value = .037), as was the rate of infection‐related hospitalization (17.6% vs. 32.1%; p value = .003) and the incidence of severe bacterial infection. There were no differences in graft rejection or mortality rates between groups.ConclusionsA multifaceted intervention, including a bundle of evidence‐based practices, enhanced compliance with recommended preventive measures and was correlated with a reduction in the 12‐month incidence of infection after KT.
