Spectrum of delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy syndrome: A systematic review
Authors: Srichawla Bahadar S , Garcia-Dominguez Maria A 
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND
Delayed post hypoxic leukoencephalopathy syndrome (DPHLS), also known as Grinker’s myelinopathy, is a rare but significant neurological condition that manifests days to weeks after a hypoxic event. Characterized by delayed onset of neurological and cognitive deficits, DPHLS presents substantial diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
AIM
To consolidate current knowledge on pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies for DPHLS, providing a comprehensive overview and highlighting gaps for future research.
METHODS
Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes guidelines, we systematically searched PubMed, ScienceDirect and Hinari databases using terms related to delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy. Inclusion criteria were original research articles, case reports, and case series involving human subjects with detailed clinical, neuroimaging, or pathological data on DPHLS. Data were extracted on study characteristics, participant demographics, clinical features, neuroimaging findings, pathological findings, treatment, and outcomes. The quality assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist.
RESULTS
A total of 73 cases were reviewed. Common comorbidities included schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, hypertension, and substance use disorder. The primary causes of hypoxia were benzodiazepine overdose, opioid overdose, polysubstance overdose, and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Symptoms frequently include decreased level of consciousness, psychomotor agitation, cognitive decline, parkinsonism, and encephalopathy. Neuroimaging commonly revealed diffuse T2 hyperintensities in cerebral white matter, sometimes involving the basal ganglia and the globus pallidus. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy often showed decreased N-acetylaspartate, elevated choline, choline-to-creatinine ratio, and normal or elevated lactate. Treatment is often supportive, including amantadine, an antioxidant cocktail, and steroids. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be beneficial in those with CO poisoning. Parkinsonism was often treated with levodopa. Most of the patients had substantial recovery over the course of months and many cases had some residual neurocognitive deficits.
CONCLUSION
DPHLS remains a complex and multifaceted condition with various etiologies and clinical manifestations. Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial to improving patient outcomes. Future research should focus on standardizing diagnostic criteria, using advanced imaging techniques, and exploring therapeutic interventions to improve understanding and treatment of DPHLS. Conducting prospective cohort studies and developing biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring will be essential to advance patient care.

Background
Walking impairment represents a relevant symptom in patients with neurological diseases often compromising social participation. Currently, mixed methods studies on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in patients with rare neurological diseases are lacking. This study aimed to explore the feasibility, acceptability, goal attainment and preliminary effects of RAGT in patients with common and rare neurological diseases and understand the intervention context and process.

Methods
A mixed-methods feasibility study was conducted at an Austrian rehabilitation centre. Twenty-eight inpatients after stroke in the subacute and chronic phases, with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury, spinocerebellar ataxia, acute/chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and motor neuron disease were included. Patients received RAGT for 45 minutes, 4x/week, for 4 weeks. Baseline and post-intervention assessments included gait parameters, walking and balance, and questionnaires. Semi-structured observations were conducted twice during the intervention period and analysed using thematic analysis. Descriptive statistics within the respective disease groups and calculation of effect sizes for the total sample were performed. Triangulation was employed to develop a deeper understanding of the research topic.

Results
Data from 26 patients (mean age 61.6 years [standard deviation 13.2]) were analysed. RAGT was highly accepted by patients and feasible, indicated by recruitment, retention, and adherence rates of 84.8% (95% confidence interval, CI 0.7–0.9), 92.2% (95% CI 0.7–1.0) and 94.0% (95% CI 91.4–96.2), respectively. Goal attainment was high, and only mild adverse events occurred. Improvements in walking speed (10-Metre Walk Test, effect size r = 0.876), walking distance (6-Minute Walk Test, r = 0.877), functional mobility (Timed Up and Go, r = 0.875), gait distance (r = 0.829) and number of steps (r = 0.834) were observed. Four themes were identified: familiarising with RAGT; enjoyment and acceptance through a trusting therapeutic relationship; actively interacting; and minimising dissatisfaction.

Discussion
Sufficiently powered randomised controlled trials are needed to validate our results.

Evaluating equity, diversity, and inclusion in Canadian Postgraduate Medical Education: A cross-sectional analysis of online content
Authors: Bondok Mohamed , Bondok Mostafa , Martel Liana , Law Christine 
Published: August 2024

Background
Medical graduates applying to Residency through the Canadian Resident Matching System (CaRMS) utilize the internet to gather information on programs and their overarching Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) Office. This study aims to evaluate how PGME websites across Canada convey their commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) through their website features.

Methods
Cross-sectional analysis of the 17 Canadian PGME websites against 20 EDI criteria based on contemporary literature, across five domains: leadership and governance, recruitment, accommodations, community engagement, and pathways to entry. Non-parametric testing was conducted to explore the relationship between EDI performance and municipal population diversity and geographic region.

Results
The evaluation of PGME websites, policies, reports, and plans revealed a mean score of 8.65/20 (SD = 3.00), with scores ranging from a minimum of 4/20 to a maximum of 13/20, indicating variability in EDI representation. Specifically, the domain of leadership and governance demonstrated the highest mean proportion of completed criteria (51%), while community engagement had the lowest (24%). Notably, 9 out of 17 PGME websites (53%) met at least 10 EDI criteria. Analysis by geographic region demonstrates significant mean differences (p = 0.02), with Ontario (10.50, SD = 2.17) and Western Provinces (11.00, SD = 0.00) scoring notably higher than Quebec (4.50, SD = 0.58), the Prairies (8.50, SD = 2.12), and the Atlantic region (8.00, SD = 2.83).

Conclusions
The assessment of Canadian PGME websites reveals varying levels of commitment to EDI. While many programs exhibit strong EDI representation in mission statements, access to mental health services, and anti-discrimination policies, there are notable gaps in leadership messaging, diverse interview panels, family-friendly policies, and deliberate recruitment of underrepresented groups. Regional differences highlight the need for sharing best practices to promote inclusivity across the country. Improving EDI efforts on PGME websites can promote the recruitment and retention of a diverse resident population.

Published: August 2024

Los recursos marinos desempeñan funciones importantes en la soberanía alimentaria y la nutrición al proporcionar alimentos e ingresos económicos. Sorprende que la pesca suela mantenerse apartada de los debates relativos a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. En el estado de Yucatán, la pesca representa una actividad socioeconómica sobresaliente. Los objetivos de la investigación consisten en: 1) identificar las distintas especies de pescados y mariscos consumidas por la población de pescadores; 2) reconocer sus hábitos y su frecuencia de su consumo, y 3) determinar el aporte nutricional de las especies de pescados y mariscos según la asiduidad y la forma de su consumo. La investigación contó con trabajo de gabinete y de campo. Se reveló que los pescadores consumen todas las especies que capturan, siendo las predominantes mero, rubia y canané. Por semana, la frecuencia de consumo de pescados es de 2 a 4 días y de mariscos de 1 a 2 días. Los recursos marinos son la principal fuente de proteína animal para los pescadores: por cada 100 g, el pescado aporta entre 14.5 y 24.7 g y el marisco entre 14.9 a 20.3 g. Las especies más consumidas y con mayor contenido de proteína son el esmedregal y el caracol, y con un menor contenido proteico, la mojarra de mar y el pulpo. Las especies ingeridas con abundantes grasas saludables son el pámpano y el camarón; estas también resaltan por su contenido en vitaminas liposolubles e hidrosolubles.
Paulina Rivoli – Moniuszko’s Heroines and a Falcon soprano?
Authors: Kicińska Hanna 
Published: August 2024

Paulina Rivoli was the first Warsaw Halka and then the first Countess in Moniuszko’s operas. In this article, I will relate how the singer, who at first frowned on Moniuszko’s proposals, launched the performance tradition of two great Moniuszko operas in which she created the title roles. Her immediate successors had to deal with the inevitable comparisons. Unfortunately, Rivoli suffered from serious vocal complaints. This was nothing unusual: phoniatric disorders plagued singers throughout Europe at that time, when massive changes were occurring in the aesthetics of solo singing. Rivoli was excellent in bel canto repertoire – a style of singing favourable to a maturing voice, which allowed her to develop fully. What was Halka’s original singing style? That was probably a mature period for Rivoli’s voice, which did not necessarily correspond to the notion of a modern, very ‘light’, even Donizettian approach to singing this role. Some of the circumstances surrounding the twilight of Rivoli’s career allow us to draw a comparison between her and another great singer whose career ended prematurely. Cornélie Falcon famously sang the role of Rachel in Halévy’s La Juive, which contributed to her legendary demise, and she had lost her voice irrevocably five years after her debut. Rivoli and Falcon sang similar repertoire, including Alice in Meyerbeer’s Robert le diable (Falcon’s debut and an early role for Rivoli), Donna Anna in Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Valentine in Les Huguenots, but Rivoli’s downfall was spread over a longer period, as her career lasted more than 20 years. Nor was her loss of voice as drastic as that of Falcon, who was literally left voiceless during a performance of Niedermeyer’s Stradella. Rivoli’s problems grew gradually, peaking after the premiere of The Countess [Hrabina]. It was probably this last burst of energy that ultimately depleted her powers altogether.

Abstract
When a component was built from a functionally graded material (FGM), the temperature of contact was determined using an analytical model (FGM). The analytical solution is applied using the concept of equivalent properties. In order to fully examine the dynamic of the equivalent property principle, a numerical analysis was done. The FGM (silicon carbide and aluminum) friction liner was used. It focuses on a few characteristics that have an impact, such as load, velocity, friction material type, and slip time, which appear in dimensionless form. The results show that for loads and velocities, the ratio of the rate of dissipation to the rate of generation of heat transfer is one, whereas the behavior differs for friction material and slip time. Furthermore, this study’s chosen FGM exhibits superior thermal behavior compared to Al and Sic, bolstering its viability as a friction liner in the clutch system.

Abstract
The study aims to explore the implementation of stepwise inquiry in chemistry education. The levels of inquiry used range from structured inquiry (level 1) to guided inquiry (level 2). The research design involved methods of analyzing the implementation of inquiry levels, assessing the ability to answer questions, engage in critical thinking, and gather student responses. The research sample consisted of 73 students studying biochemistry. A total of 14 groups, each containing 5–6 members, were involved in this research. The research results show that six groups (SG) successfully followed the investigation process at the inquiry steps, while eight groups were unsuccessful (UG). The average scores of the sub-skills collaboration, communication, data collection, use of equipment, and implementation of experimental design were the highest compared to other subskills. The stages of interpreting problems, observation, experimental design, formulating hypotheses, data analysis, and developing conclusions are still in progress and are classified as low. The SG group had an average N-Gain critical thinking score higher than the UG group (p < 0.05). The analysis of the ability to answer questions and think critically shows that the category of developing hypotheses and analyzing arguments had the lowest ability to respond compared to other indicators.
A Palimpsest of Hong Kong Futures Across Three Fictions (1962–2046)
Authors: Overbeeke Bram 
Published: August 2024

AbstractHong Kong has been located in the future tense throughout various genres of writing and popular culture, serving as a model for free-market neoliberal thinkers, as a proof-of-concept for future national reunification and as the backdrop for techno-orientalist and cyberpunk narratives. Paradoxically, within recent Hong Kong cultural productions and civil society debates is often a strong sense of a foreclosed future. This paper traces three fictions that together navigate the shifting temporalization of Hong Kong, from Wong Kar Wai’s2046(2004), which adapts the pulp fiction writer frame narrative from Liu Yichang’sThe Drunkard(1963). The film’s anachronistic 1960s SF unexpectedly finds its way into an emerging genre/movement as seen in the video essaySinofuturism (1839–2046 AD)by Lawrence Lek (2016). These three (science) fiction texts reveal Hong Kong as a palimpsest of temporalities – an impossible fiction of ‘50 years of no change’, which somehow still returns as a site from which to imagine the future.
From Zurishaddai to Menachem Mendel: The Shlemiel’s Journey from Ancient to Modern Israel
Authors: DeKoven Ezrahi Sidra 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This essay explores the evolution and resilience of the shlemiel, a central figure in two millennia of Jewish culture. Rooted in biblical narratives, the shlemiel transitions eventually into a symbol of Yiddish and Eastern European diasporic life, embodying both comedic and tragic elements. Tracing his journey through cultural history, from German to Yiddish and modern Hebrew and American literature, theater, and film, the essay delves into the complexities of his character, rooted in folklore and revolving around mistaken identity. Themes of gender and sexuality, along with interpretative acrobatics add layers of ambiguity and complexity, shaping the shlemiel’s narrative in various literary and cultural contexts. Through a detailed analysis of works by authors ranging from Heinrich Heine through Sholem Aleichem, Franz Kafka, Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, to Sammy Gronemann, the essay demonstrates the shlemiel’s versatility and enduring presence in Jewish comedy. Moreover, it examines his role as both a pariah and an agent for social change, reflecting on his significance in different cultural landscapes, as he lands eventually in America and Palestine/Israel in the 20th century. By exploring adaptations and interpretations across time and place, this essay highlights the shlemiel’s resilience amidst shifting societal norms across the globe, offering insights into the enduring relevance of this iconic figure in Jewish literature and culture.
Ultrathin Ge-YF3 antireflective coating with 0.5 % reflectivity on high-index substrate for long-wavelength infrared cameras

Abstract
Achieving long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) cameras with high sensitivity and shorter exposure times faces challenges due to series reflections from high-refractive index lenses within compact optical systems. However, designing effective antireflective coatings to maximize light throughput in these systems is complicated by the limited range of transparent materials available for the LWIR. This scarcity narrows the degrees of freedom in design, complicating the optimization process for a system that aims to minimize the number of physical layers and address the inherent large refractive mismatch from high-index lenses. In this study, we use discrete-to-continuous optimization to design a subwavelength-thick antireflective multilayer coating on high-refractive index Si substrate for LWIR cameras, where the coating consists of few (e.g., five) alternating stacks of high- and low-refractive-index thin films (e.g., Ge-YF3, Ge-ZnS, or ZnS-YF3). Discrete optimization efficiently reveals the configuration of physical layers through binary optimization supported by a machine learning model. Continuous optimization identifies the optimal thickness of each coating layer using the conventional gradient method. As a result, considering the responsivity of a LWIR camera, the discrete-to-continuous strategy finds the optimal design of a 2.3-μm-thick antireflective coating on Si substrate consisting of five physical layers based on the Ge-YF3 high-low index pair, showing an average reflectance of 0.54 % within the wavelength range of 8–13 μm. Moreover, conventional thin-film deposition (e.g., electron-beam evaporator) techniques successfully realize the designed structure, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermography confirm the high performance of the antireflective function.
Effect of middle stud on ultimate strength and behavior factor of brick masonry shear wall in cold formed steel frame

Published: August 2024

AbstractLightweight steel framing is one of the modern construction technology systems. This system is mostly used for low to mid-rise buildings. The lightweight steel framing system has many advantages, including lightness, ease of installation, high execution speed, and being more cost-efficient. Since the manufacturers of cold formed steel frames use bricks in an unprincipled way to cover these structures and because of less laboratory research in this regard, in the present research to principled use of this structure, the effect of the middle stud was evaluated on seismic behavior of brick shear wall in cold formed steel frame with brick face. For this purpose, four cold formed steel frames were made in two different configurations (without middle stud and with middle stud) using cement sand mortar, wire mesh, and brick shear walls. Based on the results, the middle stud would cause weakness in the permissible deformation of the brick walls, and in shear walls without middle stud, deformations occur along with the acquisition of resistance to larger deformations. Accordingly, the presence of the middle stud increases the average shear strength by 30%, and this increase in resistance causes a decrease in the behavior factor and ductility of the walls, which practically indicates the seismic behavior of the frames with the middle stud.
