Theory of Mind and physical bullying in preschool children: the role of peer rejection and gender differences
Authors: Zhou Yanfang , Deng Xiaojie , Wang Sihui , Shi Leishan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Background
Preschool represents the budding and initial stage of bullying behavior, where perpetration of physical bullying predominates as the primary form of bullying. An in-depth understanding of the factors linked to preschool physical bullying behavior is crucial for enabling early prevention and intervention strategies.

Objective
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Theory of Mind and physical bullying behavior in 4–6 years old children in kindergarten and the mediating role of peer rejection and gender in this relationship.

Methods
Data on perpetration of physical bullying and peer rejection were obtained from 310 preschool children (age range = 52–79 months, M = 66.85, SD = 7.04) by the peer nomination method, and their Theory of Mind was measured by the Theory of Mind Development Scale.

Results
The results showed that Theory of Mind negatively predicted perpetration of physical bullying in preschool children and that Theory of Mind was related to perpetration of physical bullying in preschool children only through peer rejection. Boys were also found to have a stronger association between peer rejection and perpetration of physical bullying in preschool children than girls.

Conclusion
Peer rejection may play a mediating role between Theory of Mind and perpetration of physical bullying in preschool children. In addition, the relationship between peer rejection and perpetration of physical bullying appears to be stronger for boys than for girls. This contributes to our understanding of the relationship between Theory of Mind and perpetration of physical bullying in preschool children and has implications for how bullying prevention and intervention can be tailored to the gender of young children.
Overstory and fuel traits drive moisture dynamics of mesophytic and pyrophytic leaf litter and 10-h woody debris fuels in a mixed longleaf pine-hardwood woodland
Authors: Gonçalves Lazzaro Luiza , Alexander Heather D. , Cannon Jeffery B. , Aspinwall Michael J. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Background
Following decades of fire exclusion, many open pine and oak forests across the central and eastern US are shifting to closed-canopy forests that are increasingly dominated by shade-tolerant, fire-sensitive species (i.e., mesophytes). As mesophytes encroach into historically pyrophytic landscapes, changes in crown traits and understory microclimate may interact with fine fuel traits to influence fuel moisture retention, and ultimately, fire behavior. To better understand potential interactions among overstory trees and underlying fine fuels that occur during mesophyte encroachment, we measured in situ drying rates of leaf litter and 10-h woody debris of three functional groups (pyrophytic pine, pyrophytic oak, and mesophytic oak) in gaps and beneath overstory trees of each functional group within a longleaf pine-mixed oak woodland along with crown (area, volume, cover), leaf litter (curling, thickness, specific leaf area, volume), and woody debris (density) traits of each functional group and understory microclimate (vapor pressure deficit (VPD)).

Results
We found that leaf litter from pyrophytic and mesophytic oaks had higher initial moisture content than pyrophytic pines, but pyrophytic pine and pyrophytic oak leaf litter dried 1.5 times faster than that of mesophytic oaks, likely due to their greater leaf curl, thickness, and volume. Initial moisture content of mesophytic oak woody fuels was lower than that of pyrophytic pine and pyrophytic oak, potentially because of higher wood density, but there were no differences in fuel drying rates. Regardless of fuel functional type, leaf litter and woody fuels dried 1.5 times faster in gaps and underneath pyrophytic pine compared to mesophytic oaks, likely due to the more open conditions in these areas. Notably overstory functional group and time of the day interacted to influence VPD, with VPD increasing throughout the day for all groups, but more so for gaps and beneath pyrophytic pines than either oak functional group.

Conclusions
Thus, fuel and crown traits differentially impacted understory microclimate and leaf litter and 10-h woody debris drying rates, leading to slower drying of fuels of encroaching mesophytes compared to pyrophytic pines and oaks, which could lead to reduced forest flammability, and consequently, the continued encroachment of mesophytic species into fire-dependent pine and oak forests.

Abstract
Purpose
The aim of our study is to provide insights derived from experience at multiple centers regarding the outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) in COVID-19 patients and compare them with those in non-COVID-19 patients during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

Results
COVID‐19 positive patients were younger than COVID‐19 negative patients (62.1 ± 2.69 versus 69.5 ± 2.2, P < 0.001). There was a significant difference between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 groups in the median D-dimer levels (6 vs. 4.5; P < 0.001), median ESR levels (63 vs. 38; P < 0.001) and median CRP levels (110 vs. 48.5; P < 0.001), respectively. Median time from stroke symptoms onset to hospital admission was significantly higher among COVID-19 positive patients (366 vs. 155 min; P < 0.001). COVID‐19 positive patients with LVO presented with a higher median NIH Stroke Scale score at presentation (16 versus 8, P < 0.001) and lower median Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) on admission (6 versus 8, P < 0.001). Patients with COVID-19 had significantly higher percentages of poor functional outcomes as scored using the mRS grades 3–5 in comparison to non-COVID-19 patients (69.2% vs. 13.6%; P = 0.002), but there was no significant difference between both groups in complications such as early cerebral re-occlusion, intracerebral hemorrhage, or in-hospital mortality (P > 0.05).

Conclusion
Mechanical thrombectomy has effectively managed patients with LVO stroke. LVO stroke in COVID-19 patients occur at a young age, and have multi-territory vascular involvement. Poor functional outcomes post thrombectomy in COVID-19 patients, irrespective of timely, successful angiographic recanalization.
Comprehensive Management of Child Maltreatment Syndrome: A Case Study and Clinical Implications in An Infant
Authors: Kowalczyk Emilia , Koziej Sylwia , Borkowska Joanna , Bajorek Julia 
Published: July 2024

Introduction and purpose

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines violence against children as “all forms of physical and emotional maltreatment, sexual abuse, neglect and exploitation that result in actual or potential harm to a child's health, development or dignity.” In Poland, 17,392 cases of violence against children and adolescents were reported in 2015. In the U.S. in 2012, 3.4 million children were reported to facilities for maltreatment. Violence against children leads to serious health problems, both physical and mental, as well as long-term social consequences. Despite its prevalence, many cases remain unreported, with victims, particularly infants, being highly vulnerable.
In the case described, a boy born at 36 weeks gestation was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of apathy. Examination revealed neurological symptoms, multiple intracranial hematomas, skull bone fractures and hearing loss. The ophthalmic consultation and examination revealed the presence of retinal hemorrhages, confirming the diagnosis of child maltreatment syndrome. Prompt medical and legal intervention allowed the child's condition to be stabilized, allowing for proper further development in foster care.
This article presents a clinical case of maltreatment syndrome in an infant, with a discussion of complications and abnormalities in the performed investigations and a discussion of the treatment administered.

Conclusion

Prompt recognition of such cases is vital, considering the potential long-term physical and psychological consequences. Practical implications for medical personnel and the need to cooperate with social and legal institutions to provide adequate care for abused children are discussed. The presented case underscores the need for comprehensive approaches to address child maltreatment, involving medical, legal, and social interventions to safeguard the welfare of affected children.
Application effect of case management nursing based on patient safety in patients with prostate cancer
Authors: Zhou Ru , Xu Chan-Ling 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
Globally, prostate cancer has become a major threat to men's health, with an increasing incidence and causes serious effects on the quality and length of life of patients. Despite the rapid development of medical technology, which provides treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy, the treatment of patients with prostate cancer, especially with endocrine therapy, has become a major challenge in clinical treatment owing to the lengthy course of treatment, side effects of drugs, and impact of the disease on the psychological and physiological functioning of the patient, producing poor treatment adherence and a decline in quality of life.
AIM
To explore effects of nursing intervention prioritizing patient safety and case management in patients with prostate cancer undergoing endocrine therapy.
METHODS
Eighty patients with prostate cancer who received endocrine therapy at our hospital between January 2022 and January 2024 were divided into observation and control groups with 40 cases per group. The control group was treated using a routine nursing workflow while the observation group received case management nursing guidance prioritizing patient safety. Scores for anxiety and depression, prostate cancer symptoms, and quality of life and patient compliance and satisfaction were compared between the groups after three months of intervention.
RESULTS
After the nursing intervention, the anxiety and depression scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The quality of life score, sexual function, and hormone function were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Case management guidance based on patient safety effectively reduced anxiety and depression in patients undergoing endocrine therapy for prostate cancer and improved their quality of life, treatment compliance, and satisfaction.

Authors: Xu Li , Chen Shan-Shan , Yang Chao , Cao Hai-Jun 
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND
The coexistence of esophageal variceal bleeding and superficial esophageal cancer (SEC) is relatively rare in clinical practice. Moreover, there have been few reports of SEC overlying esophageal varices (EVs). Herein, we report our successful use of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), esophageal solitary venous dilatation (ESVD), and endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) to treat a 75-year-old man who was diagnosed with SEC coexisting with esophageal variceal bleeding.
CASE SUMMARY
A 75-year-old man was admitted to the hospital due to black stool for 4 days. The patient had a history of liver cancer, cirrhosis, and portal hypertension. Endoscopic examination revealed esophageal and gastric varicose veins, as well as esophageal carcinoma in situ . We first treated esophageal variceal bleeding by ESVD and EIS. One week later, ESD treatment was done, and the complete resection of early esophageal cancer was successfully completed via endoscopy. There were no postoperative complications, such as bleeding, infection, or perforation.
CONCLUSION
The sequential treatment of ESVD, EIS, and ESD is an effective method for treating EVs with early esophageal cancer.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Inclusive research combines the expertise of academically trained researchers with the lived experience of individuals with disabilities to render results that are more accessible, accountable, and meaningful to the disability community. In this case study, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) contributed as co-researchers to a series of studies on mental health of adults with intellectual disability. The research model, specific engagement strategies, and lessons learned are shared. Feedback from members of the research team suggests that including adults with IDD as co-researchers benefited investigators, co-researchers with IDD, and project outcomes. Our case study emphasizes the valuable contributions of research partners with IDD and provides a model that may be adapted and utilized by researchers to enhance their practice.

Authors: Courtaut García Carla Isabel , Mateos Noblejas María , Romero Morales Carlos , Martínez Pascual Beatriz 
Published: July 2024

Introduction
The objective of this study is to compare the thickness of the transverse abdominis, internal oblique, external oblique, rectus abdominis, and rectus abdominis distance, the quality of life (SF-36), the presence of chronic pelvic pain (CPPQ-Mohedo), and sexual dysfunction (IIEF) in men who practice CrossFit® versus men who do not.

Design, setting, participants, and main outcome measures
Sixty-four healthy men with an average age of 37.19 were recruited at a private sports club and divided into two groups for this cross-sectional observational study. Additionally, participants completed the CPPQ-M, IIEF, and SF-36 questionnaires.

Results
Significant differences were found in the thickness of the internal oblique at rest (p = 0.018, d = 0.61), which was greater in the CrossFit® group. In the SF-36 quality of life questionnaire (p = 0.05, d = 0.50), the CrossFit® group also obtained a higher score.

Conclusion
CrossFit® improves the quality of life and self-esteem of the participants, in addition to increasing the thickness of the internal oblique. Neither more chronic pelvic pain nor more erectile dysfunction was observed in the CrossFit® group.
Instruments for evaluating the parental emotional status and ecological support systems among parents who considered cochlear implantation for their children with hearing loss: A scoping review
Authors: Lim Tang Zhi , Umat Cila , Chen Pei-Hua , Gan Chun Hong , Goh Bee See 
Published: July 2024

Objectives
Parents of children diagnosed with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss may experience a range of emotions owing to a lack of knowledge and experience in dealing with such children. However, most audiology clinics only attend to children with deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) and not their parents. Thus, parents’ emotional and support needs are frequently excluded from the intervention sessions, making their own needs invisible. This study aimed to identify academic and clinical instruments used for assessing parental emotional status (PES) and ecological support systems (ESS) in early intervention and determine the factors affecting PES and ESS among parents of DHH children undergoing cochlear implantation.

Materials and methods
This scoping review followed the rigorous methodological framework; searched Medline (via OVID and EMBSCO), Scopus, and Web of Science; and selected studies relevant to validated instruments used to evaluate the PES and ESS among parents of DHH children below 6 years old. Before selecting and reviewing relevant articles, two reviewers independently assessed article titles and abstracts from the data sources. Two reviewers verified half of the first reviewer’s extracted data.

Results
Overall, 3060 articles were retrieved from the database search, and 139 were selected for full-text review following title and abstract reviews. Ultimately, this study included 22 articles. Among them, 23 and 12 validated instruments, most of which are generic measures, were used for assessing PES and ESS, respectively. Three condition-specific instruments were identified and designed to be administered following cochlear implantation surgery.

Conclusions
This study revealed that healthcare professionals who interact with parents of DHH children lack the necessary instruments, particularly for parents of children undergoing cochlear implantation surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to develop condition-specific instruments for parents who consider cochlear implantation for their children.

Published: July 2024

Background
Although complement component 5 inhibitors (C5is) eculizumab and ravulizumab improve paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) outcomes, patients may experience persistent anemia. This post hoc analysis investigated whether the complement component 3-targeted therapy pegcetacoplan also improved hematologic outcomes and reduced fatigue in patients with PNH and mild/moderate anemia.

Methods
Patients with PNH and hemoglobin ≥10.0 g/dL at baseline of PADDOCK (N = 6), PRINCE (N = 8), and PEGASUS (N = 11) were included. Before receiving pegcetacoplan, PADDOCK and PRINCE patients were C5i-naive; PEGASUS patients had hemoglobin <10.5 g/dL despite stably dosed eculizumab. Hemoglobin concentrations, percentages of patients with concentrations ≥12 g/dL, and sex-specific normalization were assessed at baseline and after 16 weeks of pegcetacoplan, as were absolute reticulocyte counts (ARCs) and normalization and fatigue scores and normalization.

Results
From baseline to week 16, mean (SD) hemoglobin concentrations increased in C5i-naive patients (PADDOCK: 10.5 [0.4] to 12.7 [1.1] g/dL; PRINCE: 11.3 [1.0] to 14.0 [1.3] g/dL) and those with suboptimal eculizumab responses (PEGASUS: 10.2 [0.2] to 12.8 [2.6] g/dL). Percentage of patients with hemoglobin ≥12 g/dL increased (PADDOCK: 0 to 60.0% [3 of 5 patients]; PRINCE: 25.0% [2 of 8] to 87.5% [7 of 8]; PEGASUS: 0 to 72.7% [8 of 11]). Sex-specific hemoglobin normalization at week 16 occurred in 40.0% (2 of 5) (PADDOCK), 62.5% (5 of 8) (PRINCE), and 63.6% (7 of 11) (PEGASUS). In all studies, mean ARCs decreased from above normal to normal and ARC normalization increased. Mean Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy–Fatigue scores improved from below to above or near normal. Two patients had serious adverse events (PEGASUS: post-surgery sepsis, breakthrough hemolysis); breakthrough hemolysis resolved without study discontinuation.

Conclusion
Patients with PNH and mild/moderate anemia who were C5i-naive or who had suboptimal hemoglobin concentrations despite eculizumab treatment had improved hematologic outcomes and reduced fatigue after initiating or switching to pegcetacoplan.

Trial registration
Trial registration numbers: PADDOCK (NCT02588833), PRINCE (NCT04085601; EudraCT, 2018-004220-11), PEGASUS (NCT03500549).

Authors: Ouyang Weixiu , Wang Rui , He Yueyue , Song Yuqing , Mo Linqi , Feng Ling 
Published: July 2024

Aim
The purpose of this study was to investigate the health literacy level and influencing factors of patients with ischemic stroke.

Design
A cross-sectional study was conducted.

Methods
We used convenient sampling to recruit potential participants. Patients with ischemic stroke who were hospitalized in the Department of Neurology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University in China from January 2022 to May 2023 were selected as subjects to complete the questionnaire survey. We used the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale to assess the neurological impairment of patients and the Health Literacy Scale for Chronic Patients to assess the health literacy level of patients.

Results
The overall health literacy level of ischemic stroke patients was high (99.13 ± 10.15). Age, education level, per capita monthly family income, living situations and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score were independent risk factors affecting the health literacy level of patients with ischemic stroke. Patients with a higher education level (β = 0.151, P = 0.006) and higher per capita monthly family income (β = 0.179, P = 0.001) had higher levels of health literacy. Patients who lived with their spouses (β = -0.117, P = 0.012) had higher health literacy. Patients at an older age (β = -0.151, P = 0.001) and patients with higher NIHSS scores (β = -0.450, P = 0.001) had lower health literacy levels.

Conclusions
Age, education level, family per capita monthly income, living situations and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score were related to the health literacy level of patients with ischemic stroke. According to these associated factors, targeted health education should be developed to improve the health literacy of patients and health outcomes.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
P.Lund I 4, first published in 1935, contains lines from an unknown comedy, doubtfully attributed to Menander in the ed.pr.; P. Carlsb. inv. 50, published in 1977, preserves verses from a comedy possibly by Menander or Apollodorus of Carystus. According to my re-examination, the two fragments belong to the same bookroll. In this paper I will discuss this joint, together with a new reconstruction of the comedy scene preserved by P.Lund I 4 and some new readings.
