Authors: Joshi Sachin S. , Patil Vikas J. , Gite Vikas V. 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Effects of corrosion are very dire and mitigation of corrosion holds prime importance. Protective coatings play major role in preventing corrosion of metals and coating application is the most convenient, economical and quick solution. The purpose of the study is development of protective coatings to effectively mitigate corrosion of metal components.

Design/methodology/approach
A high-performance anticorrosion coating was prepared using multiple monomers and paste of functional and reinforcing fillers with extenders to protect metal components from corrosion in aggressive environmental conditions. The structures of copolymers synthesized with multiple monomers were studied by the NMR and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The percentage conversion of different proportions of various monomers was estimated using gas chromatography technique. The functional paste to impart superior anticorrosion properties was prepared using various functional and reinforcing fillers. The final coatings were prepared by mixing these resins with functional paste in various proportions.

Findings
The prepared anticorrosion coating was tested for high-performance mechanical and chemical properties and it was witnessed that the said coating offered desired performance properties needed for protecting metal components from corrosion.

Research limitations/implications
As such it is overcoming drawbacks of two pack systems and thus has almost no limitations or implications for application on metal substrate.

Practical implications
Being formulated as a single pack, it is free from drawbacks otherwise involved in two pack system of conventional paints. The coating system developed is very easy to apply using conventional tools, namely, brush, spray and roller techniques. The formulation is made in such a way that it has fast-drying properties. Makes painting or coating operations cost effective and confirm the performance.

Social implications
The findings of the research have anticorrosion nature that can enhance the life span of the substrates. It is specially designed for metal substrate and can protect metal substrate from corrosion in most aggressive conditions. Thus, it helps to reduce losses due corrosion and increase safety of metal structures and human being as well. As it is based on conventional material but with new formulation and technology, it has commercial possibilities to explore.

Originality/value
Unlike conventional protective coating systems, the said coating offered disruptive features like single pack systems and fast drying at ambient temperature along with high-performance properties. The coating formulation was observed to have a great importance in industry for effective corrosion mitigation and to reduce losses due to corrosion.

AbstractAimTo evaluate real‐world abatacept retention and clinical outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in Taiwan.MethodsThis prospective, observational study enrolled patients with rheumatoid arthritis aged ≥20 years who received abatacept in real‐world practice. The primary endpoint was the abatacept retention rate at 24 months. Patients were categorized into subgroups based on abatacept treatment status and previous biological disease‐modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) therapy. Risk factors affecting abatacept retention were determined by regression analysis.ResultsA total of 212 patients were enrolled. The overall abatacept retention rate at 24 months among all patients was 59.9% (95% confidence interval 53.0%–66.6%). Patients who were ongoing users of abatacept and bDMARD‐naïve had the highest retention rate (76.3%); of these, 31.6% achieved low disease activity or remission after 2 years. Previous treatment with bDMARDs was associated with an increased risk of abatacept discontinuation (hazard ratio 1.99; p = .002). The most common reasons for abatacept discontinuation were drug switch (11.3%) and loss to follow‐up (6.1%). Abatacept was well‐tolerated with no new safety signals.ConclusionThe 24‐month retention rate of abatacept was 59.9%; abatacept was associated with improved clinical outcomes and was well‐tolerated in the real‐world setting in Taiwan.
Storylines: A science‐based method for assessing and measuring future physical climate‐related financial risk
Authors: Fiedler Tanya , Wood Nick , R Grose Michael , J Pitman Andy 
Published: July 2024

AbstractRegulators increasingly require organisations to disclose their climate‐related financial risks. Most future physical climate risks present unique challenges, however, as their likely occurrence and consequence cannot be quantified with veracity at business‐relevant scales. Quantitative measurement thus renders preparers vulnerable to false precision, maladaptation, and litigation. We present an alternative method for assessing future physical climate‐related financial risk developed in the climate sciences, namely “storylines” (Shepherd et al., 2018). Storylines emphasise plausibility over probability, illustrate legally defensible and auditable futures, and allow the full expression of uncertainty. We conclude with recommendations and implications for integrating storylines into existing standards, frameworks and practice.

AbstractExposure to toxic substances, introduced into our daily lives during industrialization and modernization, can disrupt the epithelial barriers in the skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems, leading to microbial dysbiosis and inflammation. Athletes and physically active individuals are at increased risk of exposure to agents that damage the epithelial barriers and microbiome, and their extreme physical exercise exerts stress on many organs, resulting in tissue damage and inflammation. Epithelial barrier‐damaging substances include surfactants and enzymes in cleaning products, laundry and dishwasher detergents, chlorine in swimming pools, microplastics, air pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, and diesel exhaust. Athletes' high‐calorie diet often relies on processed foods that may contain food emulsifiers and other additives that may cause epithelial barrier dysfunction and microbial dysbiosis. The type of the material used in the sport equipment and clothing and their extensive exposure may increase the inflammatory effects. Excessive travel‐related stress, sleep disturbances and different food and microbe exposure may represent additional factors. Here, we review the detrimental impact of toxic agents on epithelial barriers and microbiome; bring a new perspective on the factors affecting the health and performance of athletes and physically active individuals.

AbstractBackgroundThere are limited data on pelvic pain among transgender men and gender diverse people, and the impact of testosterone on pelvic pain is poorly understood.ObjectiveCharacterize the prevalence and correlates of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) among transgender men and gender diverse people and examine the association between testosterone use and CPP.Materials and methodsWe used 2020–2022 data from The Population Research in Identity and Disparities for Equality (PRIDE) Study, an online prospective cohort study of sexual and gender minority adults in the United States, to conduct complementary cross‐sectional and longitudinal analyses. Our primary outcome was self‐reported CPP lasting 3 months or longer measured using the Michigan Body Map.ResultsAmong 2579 transgender men and gender diverse people assigned female at birth included in our sample, 457 (18%) reported CPP. CPP correlates included: inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), kidney stones, pelvic inflammatory disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), uterine fibroids, current hormonal intrauterine device use, prior pregnancy, vaginal delivery, hysterectomy, and oophorectomy. Individuals with CPP reported a high prevalence of IBS (37%), PCOS (20%), uterine fibroids (9%), post‐traumatic stress disorder (51%), and severe depression and anxiety symptoms (42% and 25%, respectively). Current testosterone use was associated with a 21% lower prevalence of CPP (adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) 0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.65–0.96). In longitudinal analyses (N = 79), 15 (19%) participants reported any CPP after initiating testosterone: eight (56%) of whom reported CPP prior to testosterone initiation, and seven (47%) who reported new‐onset CPP.Discussion and conclusionsThe relationship between CPP and testosterone is complex. Although testosterone use was associated with a lower prevalence of CPP, some transgender and gender diverse individuals experienced new‐onset pelvic pain after testosterone initiation. Given the significant impact that CPP can have on mental health and quality of life, future research must examine the role of testosterone in specific underlying etiologies of CPP and identify potential therapies.

AbstractResearch has linked disability to differential experiences and outcomes for students at multiple levels of education. To date, however, available data sources have prevented comprehensive analyses of the statistical relationship between disability and the pathways traveled by students through Ontario post‐secondary education (PSE). Through this study, we examine this topic by leveraging a large multifaceted linkage that brings together rich administrative data from the Toronto District School Board (Grades 9–12), Ontario college and university enrollment records (2009–2018), as well as government student loans and tax records. We use these data to statistically model differences in the PSE pathways traveled by more than 33,000 TDSB students. Our analyses identify statistically significant differences in the likelihood that students with/without disabilities will travel certain PSE pathways. However, such differences shrink drastically once we control for high school‐level factors (e.g., academic performance, absenteeism). We elaborate on the importance of these findings for both social stratification researchers and policymakers.

Published: July 2024

AbstractContextIn‐stent restenosis (ISR) can lead to blood flow obstruction, insufficient blood supply to the brain, and may even result in serious complications such as stroke. Endothelial cell hyperproliferation and thrombosis are the primary etiologies, frequently resulting in alterations in intravascular metabolism. However, the metabolic changes related to this process are still undermined.ObjectiveWe tried to characterize the serum metabolome of patients with ISR and those with non‐restenosis (NR) using metabolomics and lipidomics, exploring the key metabolic pathways of this pathological phenomenon.ResultsWe observed that the cysteine and methionine pathways, which are associated with cell growth and oxidative homeostasis, showed the greatest increase in the ISR group compared to the NR group. Within this pathway, the levels of N‐formyl‐l‐methionine and L‐methionine significantly increased in the ISR group, along with elevated levels of downstream metabolites such as 2‐ketobutyric acid, pyruvate, and taurocholate. Additionally, an increase in phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS), as well as a decrease in triacylglycerol in the ISR group, indicated active lipid metabolism in these patients, which could be a significant factor contributing to the recurrence of blood clots after stent placement. Importantly, phenol sulfate and PS(38:4) were identified as potential biomarkers for distinguishing ISR, with an area under the curve of more than 0.85.ConclusionsOur study revealed significant metabolic alterations in patients with ISR, particularly in the cysteine and methionine pathways, with phenol sulfate and PS(38:4) showing promise for ISR identification.

ABSTRACTBackgroundLimited data is available regarding the weaning techniques employed for mechanical ventilation (MV) in elderly patients with dementia in China.ObjectiveThe primary objective of this study is to investigate diverse weaning methods in relation to the prognostic outcomes of elderly patients with dementia undergoing MV in the intensive care unit (ICU). Specifically, we seek to compare the prognosis, likelihood of successful withdrawal from MV, and the length of stay (LOS) in the ICU.MethodsThe study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial, encompassing a group of 169 elderly patients aged ≥ 65 years with dementia who underwent MV. Three distinct weaning methods were used for MV cessation, namely, the tapering parameter, spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), and SmartCare (Dräger, Germany).ResultsIn the tapering parameter group, the LOS in the ICU was notably prolonged compared to both the SBT and SmartCare groups. However, no statistically significant differences were observed among the groups with respect to demographic characteristics, such as age and sex, as well as factors including the rationale for ICU admission, cause of MV, MV mode, oxygenation index, hemoglobin levels, albumin levels, ejection fraction, sedation and analgesia practices, tracheotomy, duration of MV, successful extubation, successful weaning, incidences of ventilator‐associated pneumonia, and overall prognosis.ConclusionsBoth the SBT and SmartCare withdrawal methods demonstrated a reduction in the duration of MV and LOS in the ICU when compared to the tapering parameter method.Trial RegistrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR1900028449

AbstractVoriconazole is the cornerstone of the treatment and prevention of fungal infections. While there is a good correlation between CYP2C19 genotype and voriconazole exposure during prophylactic treatment, no correlation was found in patients with invasive aspergillosis. Proinflammatory cytokines result in inhibition of CYP2C19 enzyme activity (and may result in phenoconversion). Here we investigated the relationship between inflammation, CYP2C19 genotype‐predicted‐phenotype, and CYP2C19 activity in patients receiving voriconazole. Data were obtained from two prospective studies investigating voriconazole treatment (NCT02074462 and NCT00893555). Dose‐corrected voriconazole plasma concentration and C‐reactive protein (CRP) were used as proxies for CYP2C19 activity and inflammation, respectively. After data extraction and synthesis, data from 39 patients with paired voriconazole and CRP measurements were available. The distribution of CYP2C19 genotype‐predicted metabolizer phenotypes was 31% intermediate (IM), 41% normal (NM), and 28% rapid metabolizer (RM). During inflammation, dose‐corrected voriconazole levels were increased by 245%, 278%, and 486% for CYP2C19 NMs IMs and RMs, respectively. Patients with moderate or high CRP levels (>50 mg/L) were phenoconverted to a lower metabolizer phenotype irrespective of their CYP2C19 genotype. In a subgroup analysis of eight patients with longitudinal data available with and without inflammation, the pattern of the dose‐corrected voriconazole and CRP measurements were similar, with CYP2C19 activity following decreasing or increasing CRP levels. In conclusion, voriconazole plasma concentrations increase during inflammation due to downregulation of CYP2C19 activity. While this effect appears largest for CYP2C19 RMs, no clinically relevant differences were observed between the CYP2C19 genotypes.

Published: July 2024

AbstractObjectiveImmunocytochemistry (ICC) is essential for enhancing diagnostic accuracy and identifying markers for diagnosis, prognosis and targeted therapies. While cell blocks (CBs) are preferred for standardization and optimized staining, cytological smears are an alternative when CBs are unavailable. However, the literature on ICC protocols for smears is sparse. This review addresses preparation, fixation and protocols for nuclear and cytoplasmic antibodies on smears, drawing from our laboratory's experience.MethodsWe reviewed procedures for ICC on cytological smears using existing literature and practical insights from our laboratory.ResultsCommercially available antibodies were found to be reliable for ICC on smears if specimens are properly prepared and fixed. Protocols developed in our laboratory maintained antigenicity and provided clear staining results.ConclusionsAlthough ICC on CBs is the gold standard for standardization, cytological smears are a viable alternative when CBs are unavailable. Success in ICC on smears depends on proper preparation and fixation. This review offers practical protocols and insights to help laboratories optimize ICC on cytological smears. Further research and standardization are necessary to enhance reproducibility and reliability of ICC on smears. The practical information provided is based on personal experience in our laboratory.

AbstractIntroductionAlcohol remains a significant contributor to mortality and morbidity in Finland and the Baltic countries, particularly among men. This study aimed to assess alcohol policy restrictiveness in this region from 1995 to 2019 using a modified version of the Bridging the Gap (BtG‐M) policy scale and examine its association with alcohol‐related disease burden.MethodsThe study utilised national laws to score policy restrictiveness (higher BtG‐M scores mean stricter policies) and age‐standardised rates of disability‐adjusted life years (DALY), years of life lost, years lived with disability and deaths per 100,000 from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD). Spearman correlation tests and panel data regression models were applied to assess the association between policy score and burden of disease.ResultsFinland maintained a high BtG‐M score, while the Baltic countries experienced recent increases from initially lower scores. Alcohol‐related disease burden showed an inverse association with policy changes in these countries. Strongest association was seen between the BtG‐M score and DALY rates attributed to injuries. Premature mortality among men constituted the largest proportion of disease burden.Discussion and ConclusionsDespite challenges in accessing and comparing policy data over time, we showed a strong association between alcohol policy and alcohol‐related harm in Finland and the Baltic countries. This study is one of the first to use the BtG‐M scale to monitor changes in alcohol policies over time and their relationship to alcohol‐related harm using GBD methodology. The study highlights the effects of national alcohol policies on levels of alcohol‐related harm.
