Published: August 2024

AbstractConsumers’ familiarity with foods influences their expectations and experiences upon consumption. Familiarity has mostly been assessed using perceived familiarity when studying single foods. However, foods are often combined to create dishes, complex compositions eaten at various mealtimes. Hence, this paper aimed to study if and how the level of consumers’ dish familiarity shapes their motives and preferred contexts for home cooking and consuming three dishes: one traditional dish, one adopted ethnic dish, and one mainly unavailable and unknown ethnic dish. First, we describe the operationalization of familiarity into the qualitative “consumer's dish familiarity index” (CDFI) used to determine participants’ familiarity level to the dishes. CDFI includes four indicators (perceived availability, consumer's knowledge, preparation, and consumption). In‐depth interviews (n = 27) were conducted with Dutch and Chilean women, as the countries have contrasting levels of immigration and globalization, which are expected to shape their inhabitants’ familiarity level with ethnic dishes. Most experienced consumers (high familiarity) mentioned more dishes and individual‐related motives to prepare and consume a traditional or an adopted ethnic dish. Social‐ and individual‐related motives were salient when a dish was unknown and/or not previously consumed. Consumers’ familiarity level also guided their preferred social context and location when consuming the dishes. A dish barely available will likely be first consumed in a restaurant to try a new dish that is perceived as appetizing to eat. Results showed that convenience, wanting to eat comfort foods, and showing affection to others are important motivators to facilitate the adoption of dishes to be home cooked.Practical ApplicationThis paper provides a novel approach to assess consumer familiarity to dishes. The qualitative consumer's dish familiarity index (CDFI) can be used in future investigations to assess and classify consumers into different dish familiarity levels by using four indicators. The outcomes of this study suggest consumers’ familiarity level could serve as a reference for designing and/or improving (ethnic) foods and creating marketing campaigns to introduce them into (foreign) countries.
Re‐evaluating the impact of collective victimhood on conflict attitudes: Results from a natural experiment, a survey experiment, and panel study using Israel's Holocaust Memorial Day

Published: August 2024

AbstractA significant observational literature identifies a link between collective victimhood and conflict‐enhancing attitudes, though results from experimental work increasing victimhood's salience vary. This article thus revisits this question in two studies in a context in which increased salience is especially likely to shift attitudes. Study 1 exploits the happenstance fielding of 12 surveys over Israel's Holocaust Memorial Day between 1979 and 2021. Using all 192 available estimates assessing hawkishness, preferences for out‐group exclusion, and in‐group solidarity, it fails to detect statistically significant effects of a state‐led effort to increase the salience of Israel's collective victimhood narrative in a natural setting 90% of the time. Study 2 replicates the null findings across multiple comparisons and outcomes in a companion harmonized panel and survey experiment. Substantively, the findings suggest that it may be harder to use short‐term manipulations of collective victimhood to shift attitudes than often assumed.

AbstractBackgroundDelabelling pathways offer confirmatory diagnosis and can prevent unnecessary second‐line therapies or drug desensitization procedures after chemotherapeutic hypersensitivity reactions (CHT‐HSRs). However, these pathways rely on risky in vivo tests. Data on whether in vitro tests could be helpful are scarce. We assessed the role of basophil activation test (BAT) in the diagnosis of HSRs to platin salts (PSs) and taxanes (TXs) in a well‐defined population featuring varied endophenotypes and severities of HSRs.MethodsWe conducted a 3‐year‐long multicentric, prospective study with 121 suspected‐immediate CHT‐HSR patients. The allergy workup included clinical history (initial reaction based on Type I, cytokine release syndrome, and mixed phenotype's symptoms and if unable to fit in any of these, as “indeterminate”), skin testing (ST), and drug provocation testing (DPT), provided risk assessment was favorable. Final diagnosis classified patients as “hypersensitive,” “non‐hypersensitive,” or “inconclusive.” We performed BAT using CD63 and CD203c as activation markers in patients and controls. Patients underwent DPT regardless of BAT results to prevent bias.ResultsST positivity significantly correlated with skin involvement, Type I phenotype, cancer recurrence, and lifetime exposures before reactions. DPTs were negative in all indeterminate phenotype patients (p = .02) and those considered low‐risk, whereas they were negative in 62% moderate‐risk patients. 55% were confirmed as hypersensitive (mainly Type I reactions, p < .0001), 24% as non‐hypersensitive (mainly TXs and indeterminate phenotypes), and 21% as inconclusive. BAT showed 79% sensitivity in Type I IgE‐mediated reactions to PSs with a high correlation to ST.ConclusionsBAT is a promising tool for delabelling and endotyping CHT‐HSRs, especially Type I reactions to PSs, possibly identifying patients at risk of positive DPT. ST seems useful in confirming CHT‐HSRs, especially PS‐induced reactions, and DPT remains the gold standard, being essential even in moderate‐risk patients.

AbstractBackgroundFertility preservation and subsequent third‐party reproduction represents a principal pathway by which gay and bisexual cisgender men may have biologically related children. Previous studies of a similar design have commented on the availability of fertility services for sexually and gender diverse communities, but none have investigated access to the aforementioned services for this specific population.ObjectivesTo assess the availability of fertility preservation and third‐party reproduction services for gay and bisexual cisgender men across US fertility clinics and sperm banks.Materials and MethodsA content analysis was performed on a sample of fertility clinic and sperm bank websites compiled from three online sources. Sample construction and analysis were completed in 2023. Each website was systematically examined by two separate coders with a third coder deciding any discrepancies. Website coding followed a pre‐constructed standardized questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify statistically significant differences.ResultsA total of 675 clinic and sperm bank websites (136 academic and 539 private) were analyzed. Five hundred and two (74.4%) offered third‐party reproduction and 326 (48.3%) offered fertility preservation for gay and bisexual cisgender men. Furthermore, 248 websites (36.7%) featured some form of disqualifying language either directly communicating or implying exclusion of gay and bisexual cisgender men from these services. Private facilities were more likely to offer third‐party reproduction (odds ratio [OR] = 1.88, p < 0.01) but less likely to offer fertility preservation (OR = 0.68, p < 0.05) compared with academic affiliated facilities. Lastly, states in the highest Human Rights Campaign Equality Index tier were significantly more likely to offer third‐party reproduction (OR = 2.50, p < 0.01) than the lowest tier.Discussion and ConclusionThese findings demonstrate great variability in access to fertility preservation and third‐party reproduction services. Geography and ambiguity in facility‐specific policies represent persistent barriers to family building for gay and bisexual cisgender men.

AbstractStatement of ProblemOsseointegration is now primarily established, but soft tissue integration is still susceptible to failure and problematic on implant surfaces. So, implant dentistry is increasingly focusing on improving peri‐implant soft tissue integration.PurposeThe present study aimed to evaluate the blood fibrin clot formation and adhesion on the abutment after cleaning and decontamination and determine the suitable abutment surface associated with fibrin clot attachment.Materials and MethodsForty‐two abutments (14 per group) were used in the present study: a brand‐new (BN), contaminated with biofilm (CO) and decontaminated with an enzymatic cleaner and autoclave sterilization (DEC). For a fibrin clot, 9 mL of whole human blood and abutments was centrifuged at 2700 rpm for 12 min. Clots were divided into two parts for histomorphometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Twelve abutments disconnected from the clot and two not treated with blood were observed under SEM.ResultsResidual debris and biofilm were observed on the abutment surface in the CO group but not in other groups. Healthy and organized fibrin clots formed on all abutments. The fibrin extension areas are distributed uniformly in BN and DEC groups but irregularly in CO. The surface percentage of the fibrin clot extensions was 41.76% ± 6.73, 26.99% ± 6.40, and 37.83% ± 9.72 for the BN, CON, and DEC groups, respectively. The blood clot‐attached areas in the CO group were statistically lower than the other groups. No difference was observed between the BN and DEC groups.ConclusionsThis study confirmed that surface contamination could influence blood clot attachment on the abutment surfaces. Cleaning and sterilization can have a favorable effect on soft tissue healing on abutment surfaces.

ABSTRACTBackgroundBrazil has a large public transplant program, but it remains unclear if the kidney waitlist criteria effectively allocate organs. This study aimed to investigate whether gender, ethnicity, clinical characteristics, and Brazilian regions affect the chance of deceased donor kidney transplant (DDKT).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study using the National Transplant System/Brazil database, which included all patients on the kidney transplant waitlist from January 2012 to December 2022, followed until May 2023. The primary outcome assessed was the chance of DDKT, measured using subdistribution hazard and cause‐specific hazard models (subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR]).ResultsWe analyzed 118 617 waitlisted patients over a 10‐year study period. Male patients had an sHR of 1.07 ([95% CI: 1.05–1.10],p < 0.001), indicating a higher chance of DDTK. Patients of mixed race and Yellow/Indigenous ethnicity had lower rates of receiving a transplant compared to Caucasian patients, with sHR of 0.97 (95% CI: 0.95–1) and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.95–1), respectively. Patients from the South region had the highest chance of DDKT, followed by those from the Midwest and Northeast, compared to patients from the Southeast, with sHR of 2.53 (95% CI: 2.47–2.61), 1.21 (95% CI: 1.16–1.27), and 1.10 (95% CI: 1.07–1.13), respectively. The North region had the lowest chance of DDTK, sHR of 0.29 (95% CI: 0.27–0.31).ConclusionWe found that women and racial minorities faced disadvantages in kidney transplantation. Additionally, we observed regional disparities, with the North region having the lowest chance of DDKT and longer times on dialysis before being waitlisted. In contrast, patients in the South regions had a chance of DDKT and shorter times on dialysis before being waitlisted. It is urgent to implement approaches to enhance transplant capacity in the North region and address race and gender disparities in transplantation.

AbstractAimBehcet's disease (BD) is a systemic disorder characterized by vasculitis, resulting in thickened vascular walls that reduce elasticity and impair function. BD can involve the cardiovascular system in three ways: cardiac, arterial, and venous. In this study, our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of pulmonary arterial stiffness (PAS) and pulmonary pulse transit time (PPTT) measures in demonstrating right ventricular functions in asymptomatic BD patients. We aimed to objectively evaluate right ventricular function in patients with BD using four‐dimensional echocardiography (4DE).MethodThis study included 40 patients diagnosed with BD and 40 healthy subjects. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic parameters were compared. In addition to standard transthoracic echocardiographic evaluation, right ventricle quantification (RVQ) by using the 4DE and 2D‐speckle tracking echocardiography were performed.ResultsThe sPAP, 4D RVQ, and right ventricular strain values exhibited significant differences between the BD and control groups. Right ventricular end‐diastolic diameter (RVDD), right ventricular end‐systolic diameter (RVSD), right atrium (RA) area, right ventricular myocardial performance index (RVMPI), and PAS were increased in BD patients compared to the control group. Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF), right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), Tricuspid S’, and PPTT were decreased in BD patients compared to control subjects. PPTT correlated with right ventricular free wall strain (RV‐FWS) and PAS. In a multivariate linear regression analysis, PAS and RVFAC were found to be independent predictors of RVFWS. In addition, RVFAC and TAPSE are independent predictors for PPTT.ConclusionPatients with BD may have elevated pulmonary arterial stiffness (PAS) in correlation with decreased PPTT. To ascertain the prognosis for these individuals, right ventricular (RV) functions must be evaluated. Measurements of RVFAC and RVEF via 4DE and deformation imaging techniques may be more useful in identifying subclinical impairment of RV. Individuals with BD, PAS, and PPTT may suggest a link between early pulmonary vascular remodeling and RV subclinical impairment.

AbstractThe house fly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), is a significant pest in livestock farms and a major concern for both humans and farmed animals due to its ability to transmit over 200 pathogens. The use of pupal parasitoids is a sustainable strategy for controlling this pest. Spalangia cameroni Perkins (Hymenoptera: Spalangiidae) and Muscidifurax zaraptor Girault & Sanders (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) are commonly used as biocontrol agents for M. domestica. The objective of this study was to determine the oviposition peak of female parasitoids in relation to their age and the sex ratio of the adult progeny. For both species, 20 fresh M. domestica pupae (24–48 h old) were provided daily to each fertilised female for 14 days, after which the pupae were checked for parasitoid emergence. A control group of 20 pupae without female parasitoids was maintained. The results showed that S. cameroni had a higher overall percentage of parasitisation (57.7%) compared with M. zaraptor (32.4%). The parasitisation ratio of S. cameroni remained almost constant throughout the 14‐day period, whereas that of M. zaraptor decreased drastically after Day 11. Peak oviposition for S. cameroni was on Day 5 with 13 parasitised pupae per female, whereas M. zaraptor parasitised eight pupae per day on 4 days during its peak oviposition period (between Days 3 and 8). The newly emerged parasitoids had a skewed sex ratio towards females: 81% for S. cameroni and 66% for M. zaraptor. The presence of these parasitoid species resulted in fewer new house fly emergences than in the control group, where natural pupal mortality was lower in the absence of parasitoids. These findings may be useful for optimising the mass production and time‐use of the two parasitoid species for the management of house flies in livestock farms.

ABSTRACTBackgroundTrauma plays an important role in the development and maintenance of psychosis. However, it is still under‐examined in daily clinical practice. The current study investigated the rates of recording of trauma‐exposure in the clinical histories of a first‐episode psychosis (FEP) cohort attending an early intervention psychosis service.MethodsThis study used a retrospective chart review methodology in a 6‐year epidemiologically complete FEP cohort attending an early intervention psychosis service. The Trauma and Life Events Checklist was used to define the rate and types of trauma‐exposure reported in clinical histories. The relationships were examined between recorded trauma‐exposure and positive and negative symptoms, depression and duration of untreated psychosis at first assessment.ResultsTrauma‐exposure was frequently recorded within clinical histories. Childhood trauma‐exposure was recorded in 47.4% of the sample, which is lower than may be expected. No significant relationships between the recorded trauma‐exposure and symptom measures were found. A significant relationship was found between interpersonal stressors and positive symptoms, and work‐related stress and negative symptoms, highlighting the importance of proximal stressful life events.DiscussionThis study found that clinicians were frequently recording trauma‐exposure in daily practice. However, it was unclear whether the recording of trauma‐exposure highlighted led to systematic diagnosis, assessment or treatment of trauma for people with psychosis. The importance of treatment and service planning to include information about trauma‐exposure is discussed.

AbstractDravet syndrome (DS) is an infantile onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. Sodium channel blockers are known to exacerbate seizures in this syndrome. Due to its high incidence, the management of prolonged seizures is crucial for DS patients. There is still ambiguity regarding the use of intravenous phenytoin for prolonged seizure in DS patients mainly due to the lack of data, raising concern about the safety of it use. We conducted a retrospective study (from January 2009 to January 2020) aiming to assess the management of prolonged seizures in DS with a focus on the use of intravenous phenytoin. Data were collected for patients admitted to our hospital for seizures lasting >5 min. Among 52 identified patients in our database, 23 experienced 59 prolonged seizures managed in our hospital. Only four seizures ceased without rescue medication. Notably, the use of intravenous phenytoin was not associated with discernible adverse effects and was effective in stopping status epilepticus in 71% of cases. This study suggests the safety and efficacy of intravenous phenytoin for prolonged seizure in DS. There is a need for broader investigations of emergency treatments for evidence‐based recommendations for the emergency plan of each patient.

AbstractEstimating repeatability allows a first approximation that may indicate a potential response to selection of sexual traits. Acoustic sexual signals comprise spectral and temporal variables, where the former generally have lower intra‐individual variation and higher repeatability values. Studies of repeatability in anurans have been conducted mainly in natural conditions, but the stability of laboratory settings allows extended recording intervals, favoring measurement accuracy. We conducted a study of variation and repeatability of the calls of males of Batrachyla taeniata, a frog from the South American temperate forest to evaluate under homogeneous environmental and social conditions: (i) the extent of variation in acoustic properties of calls within and among days, (ii) the extent of temporal variation in the repeatability of call properties, and (iii) differences in repeatability among call variables. Variation of acoustic properties differed within and across days of recording, call rate generally increased within and throughout days, suggesting sensitization processes. Call duration decreased during these time spans, yielding constant calling effort. In contrast, the dominant frequency decreased within days but increased across days. Overall repeatability differs significantly among variables: dominant frequency, call rate, and call duration having the highest, intermediate, and lowest values, respectively. The high repeatability of call rate relative to call duration contrasts with an opposing general tendency in previous studies in anurans. The repeatability of the three variables analyzed increases within days, and the repeatability of call rate also increases throughout days, highlighting the relevance of this variable for individual identity over different time ranges.
