Published: July 2024

AbstractMany actors have recently launched significant new initiatives in the domain of climate change and health. Given this important nexus, we undertook a review of funding patterns from 1985 – 2022, using the NIH RePORTER database for the United States and the Dimensions database globally. This includes an assessment of more than 9 million publicly funded projects across both databases with a collective budget of more than $3 trillion. We estimate that between 1985 and 2022 only 0.26% of research funding awarded by the NIH related to climate change, and only 0.70% of funded projects in the Dimensions database related to climate change and human health. Moreover, we thematically map funding patterns according to four thematic areas: changes in climate, the effects of climate change, health impacts, and interventions and strategies. More funding is needed to better anticipate and prepare for the projected health impacts of climate change.

Published: July 2024

Purpose:
This study aimed to examine the prevalence of cognitive-communication deficits in adult cancer survivors who reported experiencing cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). The study also aimed to determine how these problems impact their ability to engage socially and find satisfaction in their social roles.

Method:

This study employed a cross-sectional survey to collect data from adult cancer survivors. The survey included questions on demographic characteristics, self-perceived cognitive-communication abilities, social engagement, and satisfaction with social participation. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Spearman rank-order correlation, Mann–Whitney
U
tests, and Kruskal–Wallis
H
tests.

Results:
Of 172 participants, 78% completed the survey, with 109 self-reporting CRCI. The participants predominantly had breast cancer, and most were diagnosed with Stage II cancers. The results indicated self-perceived impairment in various cognitive-communication domains, with functional daily communication being the most affected. Participants reported more difficulty participating in social roles and activities than their overall satisfaction with social participation. This study explored the relationships between cognitive-communication scores and social engagement, considering variables such as education, cancer type, stage, age, and treatment.

Conclusions:
This study underscores the multidimensional nature of CRCI, emphasizing the importance of addressing both cognitive-communication and social aspects in interventions and support services. It highlights the clinical implications for speech-language pathology, suggesting a potential role in identifying and addressing cognitive-communication deficits. Future research needs are discussed.
Recent developments in carbon‐based electrodes surface modification for zinc bromine flow battery

Published: July 2024

AbstractZinc‐bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs) hold promise as energy storage systems for facilitating the efficient utilisation of renewable energy due to their low cost, high energy density, safety features, and long cycle life. However, challenges such as uneven zinc deposition leading to zinc dendrite formation on the negative electrode and parasitic hydrogen evolution reaction during charging pose risks of membrane puncturing and short circuits, thereby limiting energy density improvements. Additionally, the sluggish and non‐reversible Br2/Br− redox reaction hampers battery power density enhancements. Given that electrode properties significantly influence the rate and reversibility of these redox reactions, modifications to the negative and positive electrodes are crucial. While inert carbon‐based electrodes are favoured for their corrosion resistance and conductivity, their hydrophobic nature and low electrochemical activity restrain the performance of ZBFBs. The authors present a comprehensive review of recent advancements in both negative and positive electrode modifications in ZBFBs. It also puts forward future research directions aimed at overcoming existing challenges, with the ultimate objective of promoting the efficient utilisation of ZBFBs.

ZusammenfassungAls eine der am häufigsten diagnostizierten psychischen Störungen im Kindes- und
Jugendalter mit zum Teil schwerwiegenden individuellen, familiären und sozialen
Konsequenzen hat die Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) eine
hohe gesellschaftliche und gesundheitspolitische Relevanz. Für Deutschland
wurden aus den Daten gesetzlicher Krankenkassen über Jahre steigende
ADHS-Diagnoseprävalenzen gemeldet, während epidemiologische Daten konstante,
zuletzt sogar sinkende Prävalenzraten auswiesen. Die klinische Validität von
Diagnosen aus beiden Datenquellen ist unbekannt. Im Konsortialprojekt
INTEGRATE-ADHD wurden 5461 Eltern von bei der drittgrößten bundesweiten
gesetzlichen Krankenkasse (DAK-Gesundheit) versicherten Kindern im Alter von 0
bis 17 Jahren mit einer gesicherten administrativen ADHS-Diagnose in mindestens
einem Quartal des Jahres 2020 mit den Fragebögen der epidemiologischen KiGGS-
und BELLA-Studie zur ADHS-Diagnose und -Symptomatik ihres Kindes und zu weiteren
Themenbereichen, darunter Komorbidität, Inanspruchnahme von Leistungen des
Gesundheitssystems, Versorgungsqualität und -zufriedenheit, psychosoziale
Risiko- und Schutzfaktoren sowie gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität online
befragt. Darüber hinaus wurde eine Substichprobe von 202 Kindern und
Jugendlichen mit einer an der AMWF-S3-Leitlinie ADHS orientierten klinischen
Diagnostik untersucht. Ein wichtiges Ziel des Projekts ist es, mittels
Data-Linkage mögliche Ursachen für die oftmals divergierenden
Prävalenzschätzungen aus epidemiologischen und administrativen Daten zu
identifizieren sowie die Datenquellen mittels einer leitlinienbasierten
klinischen Diagnostik zu integrieren und zu validieren, auf diese Weise zu einer
genaueren bevölkerungsbezogenen Prävalenzschätzung der ADHS bei Kindern und
Jugendlichen beizutragen sowie tatsächliche oder vermeintliche Widersprüche
zwischen den Datenquellen aufzuklären. Das Data-Linkage-Projekt INTEGRATE-ADHD
verbindet administrative, epidemiologische und klinische ADHS-Diagnosedaten zu
einem „dreidimensionalen Blick“ auf die ADHS-Diagnose. Die Ergebnisse dienen der
Identifikation von Handlungsfeldern für die Gesundheitspolitik und die
Selbstverwaltung im deutschen Gesundheitssystem sowie der Ableitung von
Empfehlungen für die Akteure und Stakeholder im Bereich ADHS. Erste Ergebnisse
werden 2024 veröffentlicht.
CT in pediatric trauma patients
Authors: Appelhaus Stefan , Schönberg Stefan O , Weis Meike 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe decision as to whether to perform a computed tomography (CT) examination in severe pediatric trauma poses a challenge. The therapeutic benefit of computed tomography in injured children is lower compared to adults, while the potential negative effects of ionizing radiation may be higher. Thus, the threshold for CT should be higher. Centers that less frequently treat pediatric cases tend to conduct more whole-body CT examinations than dedicated pediatric trauma centers, indicating a clinical overestimation of injury severity with subsequently unnecessary imaging due to inexperience. On the other hand, a CT scan that is not performed but is actually necessary can also have negative consequences if an injury is detected with a delay. An injured child presents a challenging situation for all involved healthcare providers, and thus requires a structured approach to decision-making.Selective literature review of the benefits and risks of CT in injured children, as well as indications for whole-body and region-specific CT imaging.This article provides an overview of current guidelines, recent insight into radiation protection and the benefits of CT in injured children, and evidence-based decision criteria for choosing the appropriate modality based on the mechanism of injury and the affected body region.

Published: July 2024

AbstractTo explore the value of CT-based radiomics machine learning models for differentiating enchondroma from atypical cartilaginous tumor (ACT) in long bones and methods to improve model performance.59 enchondromas and 53 ACTs in long bones confirmed by pathology were collected retrospectively. The features were extracted from preoperative CT images of these patients, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used for feature selection and dimensionality reduction. The selected features were used to construct classification models by thirteen machine learning algorithms. The data set was randomly divided into a training set and a test set at a proportion of 7:3 by ten-fold cross-validation to evaluate the performance of these models.A total of 1199 features were extracted, 9 features were selected, and 13 radiomics machine learning models were constructed. The area under the curve (AUC) of 11 models was more than 0.8, and that of 3 models was more than 0.9. The Extremely Randomized Trees model achieved the best performance (AUC = 0.9375 ± 0.0884), followed by the Adaptive Boosting model (AUC = 0.9188 ± 0.1010) and the Linear Discriminant Analysis model (AUC = 0.9062 ± 0.1459).CT-based radiomics machine learning models had great ability to distinguish enchondroma and ACT in long bones. By using filters to deeply mine high-order features in the original image and selecting appropriate machine learning algorithms, the performance of the model can be improved.

Authors: Armstrong Stephanie A. , Boerger Timothy F. , Laing Brandon , Tavakoli Samon , Goetschel Kaitlin , Cheok Stephanie , Zwagerman Nathan 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Objective Olfactory groove meningiomas (OGM) commonly present with olfactory deficits and compression of the frontal lobes. Given the relationship to dietary behaviors, our objective was to evaluate the relationship between OGMs and postoperative weight loss.
Methods Retrospective review of primary resection of meningiomas between 2017 and 2023 at a single institution was conducted. Neurofibromatosis type 2, pregnancy, weight loss medications, or surgeries were excluded. Data collection included preoperative body mass index (preBMI) and postoperative BMI (poBMI) at 3 to 6 and 12 months. Percent BMI change (pcBMI) was calculated by (poBMI − preBMI/preBMI × 100%). IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 27) was used for descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple linear regression.
Results Ninety-eight patients met inclusion with a mean age of 57.58 years. Three groups were stratified by location: OGM (n = 15), anterior cranial fossa excluding OGM (ACF; n = 24), and other (OTH; n = 59). Olfactory dysfunction was present in 53.8% of the OGMs. OGM presented with significantly larger lesions (57.25 ± 55.98 mm3) and a higher preBMI (34.58 ± 7.41 kg/m2) than ACF and OTH. A greater pcBMI was seen in OGM at both timepoints (−7.74%, −8.73%). OGM location, tumor volume, and preBMI were found significant on univariate analysis (p < 0.05) and included in multiple linear regression. All regression models were significant (p = 0.001). Location significantly added to the prediction at 3 to 6 and 12 months as well as preBMI at 12 months. In a subanalysis of ACF and OGM, OGM location was significantly associated with negative pcBMI at 3 to 6 and 12 months.
Conclusion OGMs are associated with higher preoperative weight and greater weight loss postoperatively compared with other locations.

Abstract
Objective This double-blind randomized clinical trial assessed the effectiveness of 0.2% hyaluronic acid (HA) gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) in patients with periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), focusing on changes in clinical periodontal parameters, the expression of inflammatory mediators, and oral pathogens.
Materials and Methods The randomized clinical trial involved 36 participants, 18 DM patients, and 18 healthy patients. The participants in each group were randomly assigned to receive placebo or HA gel after SRP. Gingival crevicular fluid and subgingival plaque samples were taken before treatment and at 4-week follow-up. Clinical parameters, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-10 levels, and proportions of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) were evaluated at baseline and follow-up.
Statistical Analysis Paired t-test (parametric data) or Wilcoxon signed-rank test (nonparametric data) was used for intragroup comparison between baseline and follow-up, and comparisons between groups one-way analysis of variance test (parametric data) or Kruskal–Wallis test (nonparametric data).
Results At 4 weeks, most of the groups showed statistically significant decreases (p ≤ 0.05) in various clinical and biomolecular parameters. However, there were exceptions: the pocket probing depth (PPD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) parameter did not significantly decrease for the placebo (p > 0.05) non-DM group, and the IL-10 parameter in the DM HA gel group (p = 0.108). Regarding bacterial proportions, the non-DM and DM placebo group exhibited significant test results for Pg after 4 weeks (p ≤ 0.05). In the case of Fn bacteria proportions, they decreased in all groups, but these results were not statistically significant (p ≥ 0.05). An intergroup analysis revealed no significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) for bleeding on probing (BOP), PPD, and both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Only clinical attachment loss (CAL) exhibited a statistically significant intergroup difference 0.042.
Conclusion The use of 0.2% HA gel into periodontal pockets alongside SRP, for both diabetic and healthy individuals, showed no statistically significant variances in clinical, biomolecular, and microbiological measures.
Skeletal Manifestations of Gaucher's Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Mohamed Rahma Nour Eldin Saad , Elnahal Walid A. , Furtado Cleofina , Zeitoun Rania , Abdel-Wahab Nagui 
Published: July 2024

AbstractGaucher's disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the storage of glucosylceramide in macrophages (“Gaucher cells”), mainly in the reticuloendothelial system. GD type 1 (GD1) is the most common phenotype that usually manifests with hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenias, and bone involvement. Skeletal manifestations are the most debilitating characteristic and result in significant morbidities. We describe a case of GD1, first presented by a nontraumatic bone fracture. The case presentation highlights the importance of considering GD among the differential diagnosis of nontraumatic fractures, avascular necrosis, and infarcts of the bones. Early diagnosis and treatment improve the course of disease and avoid irreversible sequelae.
Imaging of Disease and Normal Variant Patterns in Pediatric Hips
Authors: Anderson Jade A. , Laucis Nicholas , Symanski John , Blankenbaker Donna 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThe pediatric hip undergoes significant changes from infancy through adolescence. Proper maturation is crucial for the development of a stable and functional hip joint. Imaging interpretation of the pediatric hip requires distinguishing normal variants and maturation patterns from pathology. We review femoral ossification centers, variants, and conditions that affect the proximal femur, such as Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease; the acetabulum, such as developmental hip dysplasia; the acetabular labrum, such as femoroacetabular impingement; and synovial pathology in children through adolescence. Understanding the spectrum of hip conditions and using advanced imaging techniques are essential for the accurate diagnosis and effective management of pediatric hip disorders.
Clinical Outcome Success of Silver-Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (SMART) in Treating Children with Dental Caries in Primary Teeth: A Systematic Review
Authors: Mohapatra Subhashree , Mohandas Rahul 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Objective: A novel approach called silver-modified atraumatic restorative therapy (SMART) integrates glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations with silver diamine fluoride (SDF). This new method combines the ability of GIC to seal the tooth and sever the nutrition that bacteria require to proliferate, with the bactericidal power of SDF. The purpose of this review is to evaluate and compare the available data regarding the efficacy of the SMART approach in treating children's carious primary teeth.
Materials and Methods: The earliest date accessible up until February 15, 2024, was thoroughly searched in databases including Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane, Science Direct, Lilacs, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The review only comprised randomized controlled trials. The PICO strategy (P: Children with dental caries in primary teeth; I: SMART; C: Conventional drill and fill method or atraumatic restorative treatment [ART] therapy; O: Clinical success) was adopted. Risk of bias assessment and quality of evidence were assessed using the RoB-2 tool and GRADE tool, respectively.
Results: Four full-text publications that met the eligibility criteria underwent additional processing for data extraction and qualitative analysis. In three studies, no difference was found in the clinical performance of SMART and conventional drill and fill/ART therapy, whereas in one study, the clinical performance of SMART was found to be better than the conventional ART therapy.
Conclusion: SMART and conventional drill and fill/ART techniques have comparable clinical performance for carious primary teeth of children. SMART can be used to treat asymptomatic deep carious lesions as well as apprehensive children. However, the cost-effectiveness of SMART restorations needs to be investigated in a variety of demographics.

Abstract
Background Supratentorial intraventricular tumors, encompassing lateral and third ventricular tumors, are uncommon intracranial neoplasms, typically slow-growing and benign, manifesting symptoms only upon reaching a substantial size. This study aims to identify optimal surgical approaches, assess the prevalence and characteristics of these tumors, and evaluate postoperative outcomes among pediatric and adult age groups.
Methods A retrospective comparative study at a tertiary care hospital from January 2014 to June 2020 included 165 patients (68 pediatrics, 97 adults) meeting inclusion criteria for intraventricular tumor management. Data covered demographic factors, clinical history, neurological assessments, neuroimaging, surgical approaches, histopathological diagnoses, immunohistochemical features, adjuvant therapies, follow-up status, postoperative complications, and morbidity/mortality.
Results Ventricular tumor incidence showed male preponderance in both adults (M:F = 1.2:1) and pediatrics (M:F = 3:1). Lateral ventricles were the most common location. Pediatric cases exhibited more frequent calcifications on computed tomography scans (35.6% vs. 29.5%). Grade II and III tumors were more prevalent in adults within the lateral ventricle (27.1 and 1.9%) compared with pediatrics (6.5 and 8.4%). The third ventricle predominantly featured benign lesions, with pediatric patients experiencing significantly longer hospital stays (16.12 ± 21.94 days vs. 9.58 ± 6.21 days) (p = 0.006). Adults and pediatric patients showed a significant difference in high-grade lateral ventricle tumors (p-value = 0.002*).
Conclusions Supratentorial ventricular tumors are relatively more prevalent in children than adults, presenting challenges due to size and bleeding risks. Surgical resection is the primary treatment, with a focus on the optimal approach for gross total excision to reduce recurrence risk.
Why do states discriminate between refugee groups? Understanding how Syrian and Ukrainian refugees were framed in Germany and Poland
Authors: Drewski Daniel , Gerhards Jürgen 
Published: July 2024

AbstractPrevious studies hypothesize that countries discriminate between refugee groups of different backgrounds depending on cultural similarity to the host population and whether they flee from a rivaling regime. We argue that these explanations miss how political actors frame the collective identity of the host nation and the refugees in political discourse, and the nation state-specific cultural repertoires they draw on. The different responses of the German and Polish governments to Syrian and Ukrainian refugees are a case in point. While Poland welcomed Ukrainian and rejected Syrian refugees, Germany differentiated relatively little between Syrian and Ukrainian refugees in terms of its admission policy. Based on a qualitative analysis of parliamentary debates in Germany and Poland, we show that the German government employed mostly “cosmopolitan” frames by highlighting Germany’s humanitarian orientation, the commitment to international law, and the principles of liberal democracies. In contrast, the Polish government employed mostly “communitarian” frames by highlighting Poland’s national sovereignty and drawing strong cultural boundaries.
