Published: August 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo analyze the results of excluding confusable diseases in patients with a presumptive diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (IC).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of consecutive patients with IC between October 2005 and December 2019.ResultsPatients with pelvic pain underwent an initial workup. Of these, 646 patients (164 men, 25.4%; 482 women, 74.6%) underwent observational cystoscopy under the suspicion of IC. Fourteen patients had genitourinary tract malignancies (2.2%) (bladder cancer, n = 13; prostate cancer, n = 1). Of the 13 patients with bladder cancer, three were diagnosed during initial observation cystoscopy. The remaining 10 patients were diagnosed during subsequent follow‐up cystoscopic surgery. Urinary tuberculosis was identified in seven (1.1%) of 646 patients during the examination. Five (0.8%) of the six patients with suspected urinary tuberculosis at baseline imaging were positive for tuberculosis in the acid‐fast bacillus test. One patient developed tuberculous granulomas in the bladder tissue after a cystectomy for intractable pelvic pain.ConclusionOur results show that continuous efforts to rule out bladder tumors or tuberculosis are still essential in the follow up of patients with suspected IC, even if these diseases are not excluded at the initial examination. Imaging studies are necessary to rule out tuberculosis.

Published: August 2024

AbstractSince both top and bottom illuminations are widely used in infrared transmission measurements, in this paper, we study the effects of different illuminations on the signatures in infrared microspectroscopy. By simulating a series of dielectric samples, we show that their extinction efficiency, , remains unchanged when the direction of the incident plane wave is reversed, even though the field distributions both inside and outside of the sample may be dramatically different. We find features in that are correlated with whispering gallery modes for one beam direction and correspond to completely different field distributions for the opposite beam direction. In addition, by linking the optical theorem and the reciprocity relation of far‐field scattered field, we rigorously prove the invariance of for arbitrary dielectric targets under opposite plane‐wave illuminations. Furthermore, we show the difference in the apparent absorbance spectrum for opposite beam directions when considering numerical apertures.
BURSTING THE CEO BUBBLE
Authors: Wiggins Ty 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe author draws on his experience as the lead of Russell Reynolds Associates/RRA, CEO & Transitions Practice. He describes how Chief Executive Officers/CEOs operate in a bubble, yet do not always realize that is the case. This “requires adjusting your thinking and behaviors—to create an environment in which people feel comfortable telling you what they’re really thinking and to remove your biases, so you open yourself to the true realities in front of you, rather than trying to confirm to what you think you already know.” He continues that “working on understanding and mitigating your biases is a key aspect of leadership (and human) development. There will be several that will impact the way you think and operate, consciously and subconsciously.” He describes what can happen early in a CEO’s tenure, regarding awareness of relationships with others and what changes occur, and the importance of listening. Executives quoted are: PepsiCo’s CEO Ramon Laguarta, Whirlpool CEO Marc Bitzer, and Carol Tomé of UPS.“Your goal as the new CEO,” the author concludes, “or any new senior leader, is to get up to speed and become effective as fast as you possibly can.”
THE BUSINESS PLAN REVIEW—THE HEARTBEAT OF OUR ORGANIZATION
Authors: Collard Debbie , Ireland Susan 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe authors have first‐hand experience working with Alan Mulally's Our “Working Together”© Leadership and Management System (Mulally is the former CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Ford Motor Company). The authors describe the Business Plan Review (BPR), one of the five elements of the system, and note that the other elements are the principles and practices, the governance process, the leadership team, and the creating value roadmap. They describe what the BPR is, how it is used, and “how a typical BPR looks and works.” While the system, and the BPR itself, is probably best known through the two major companies led by Mulally, the authors write that “the BPR approach and structure works in any setting and has been integral to our own business since the beginning. We started as a team of two and have grown to include two more team members. The BPR helps our small team stay on track, focused on our mission, aligned with our values and operating principles, and reinforces our culture.” In the conclusion, they note that “by encouraging open communication, shared objectives, and strong leadership, BPR cultivates a culture of respect where everyone feels valued, empowered, and motivated to contribute to success.”

AbstractNanozyme catalytic therapy triggered by the tumor microenvironment (TME)‐responsive enzyme‐like catalytic activities is an emerging approach for tumor treatment. However, the poor catalytic efficiency of nanozymes in tumors and the toxic side effects on normal tissues limit their further development, primarily due to the limited uptake and penetration depth of nanozyme in tumor tissues. Here, a tumor‐targeting TME and electric field stimuli‐responsive nanozyme (AgPt@CaCO3‐FA) is developed, which is capable of catalyzing the generation of ROS to induce cell death and releasing carbon monoxide (CO) specifically in tumor tissues for on‐demand CO therapy and immunotherapy. Benefiting from the endogenous H2S activated NIR‐II fluorescence (FL) imaging guidance, AgPt@CaCO3‐FA can be delivered into the deeper site of tumor tissues resulted from the TME regulation via generated CO during the electrolysis process to improve the catalytic efficiency of nanozymes in tumors. Moreover, CO effectively relieve immunosuppression TME via reeducating tumor‐supportive M2‐like macrophages to tumoricidal M1‐like macrophages and induce mitochondrial dysfunction by reducing mitochondrial membrane potential, triggering tumor cells apoptosis. The enzyme‐like activities combined with CO therapy arouse distinct immunogenic cell death (ICD) effect. Therefore, AgPt@CaCO3‐FA permits synergistic CO gas, catalytic therapy and immunotherapy, effectively eradicating orthotopic breast tumors and preventing tumor metastasis and recurrence.
Full Exploitation of Charge Compensation of O3‐type Cathode Toward High Energy Sodium‐Ion Batteries by High Entropy Strategy
Authors: Yan Haotian , Chai Dandan , Li Xiang , Fu Yongzhu 
Published: August 2024

AbstractO3‐type cathodes with sufficient Na content are considered as promising candidates for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). However, these cathodes suffer from insufficient utilization of the active elements, restraining the delivered capacity. In this work, a high entropy strategy is applied to a typical O3 cathode NaLi0.1Ni0.35Mn0.55O2 (NLNM), forming a high entropy oxide NaLi0.1Ni0.15Cu0.1Mg0.1Ti0.2Mn0.35O2 (Na‐HE). Results show that the active elements are fully exploited in Na‐HE, with a two‐electron reaction by Ni2+/4+ (further extended to Cu redox and even oxygen redox), vastly different from a one‐electron reaction of Ni2+/3+ in NLNM. The full utilization of the active elements dramatically improves the output capacity of the cathode (122.6 mAh g−1 of Na‐HE versus 81 mAh g−1 of NLNM). Moreover, the detrimental phase transition is well suppressed in Na‐HE. The cathode exhibits high capacity retention of 88.7% after 100 cycles at 130 mA g−1, compared to only 36.4% for NLNM. These findings provide new insight for the design of new cathode materials for SIBs with high energy density and robust stability.

Published: August 2024

AbstractOver the past decades, tactile sensing technology has made significant advances in the fields of health monitoring and robotics. Compared to conventional sensors, self‐powered tactile sensors do not require an external power source to drive, which makes the entire system more flexible and lightweight. Therefore, they are excellent candidates for mimicking the tactile perception functions for wearable health monitoring and ideal electronic skin (e‐skin) for intelligent robots. Herein, the working principles, materials, and device fabrication strategies of various self‐powered tactile sensing platforms are introduced first. Then their applications in health monitoring and robotics are presented. Finally, the future prospects of self‐powered tactile sensing systems are discussed.
Carbon Nanotube Support, Carbon Loricae and Oxygen Defect Co‐Promoted Superior Activities and Excellent Durability of RuO2 Nanoparticles Towards the pH‐Universal H2 Evolution

Published: August 2024

AbstractThis work reports a strategy that integrates the carbon nanotube (CNT) supporting, ultrathin carbon coating and oxygen defect generation to fabricate the RuO2 based catalysts toward the pH‐universal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with high efficiencies. Specifically, the CNT supported RuO2 nanoparticles with ultrathin carbon loricae and rich oxygen vacancies at the surface (C@OV‐RuO2/CNTs‐325) have been synthesized. The C@OV‐RuO2/CNTs‐325 shows superior activities and excellent durability for the HER. It only requires overpotentials of 36.1, 18.0, and 19.3 mV to deliver −10 mA cm−2 in the acidic, neutral, and alkaline media, respectively. Its HER activities are comparable to that of the Pt/C in the acidic media but higher than those of the Pt/C in the neutral and alkaline media. The C@OV‐RuO2/CNTs‐325 shows excellent HER durability with no activity losses for > 500 h in the acidic, neutral or alkaline media at −250 mA cm−2. The density‐functional‐theory calculations indicate that the CNT supporting, the carbon coating, and the OVs can modulate the d‐band centers of Ru, increasing the HER activities of C@OV‐RuO2/CNTs‐325, and stabilize the Ru atoms in the catalyst, increasing the durability of the C@OV‐RuO2/CNTs‐325. More interestingly, the C@OV‐RuO2/CNTs‐325 shows great potential for practical applications toward overall seawater splitting.

Published: August 2024

AbstractEnergy scarcity is among the biggest global challenges which is aggravating with each passing day due to ever increasing energy demands of contemporary livings as well as industrial requirements verses finite and rapidly depleting fossil reserves of our planet. Improving energy efficiency is one of the effective ways to cope with this challenge. Ternary nanofluids (TNF) are a dynamic novel class of fluids possessing unique thermophysical and other functional characteristics making them the most efficient heat transporting fluids of 21st century. These fluids have promising applications in major manufacturing and processing industries, emerging nanotechnologies and bio‐medical domains. The novel theme of this pragmatic study is analysis of bio‐convective TNF flow by stretchable porous curved surface considering effects of thermal radiation, chemical reaction, magnetic field, and various slip constraints. The modeled partial differential equations (PDEs) governing fluid flow under presumptions are converted to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by suitable transformation relations. Numerical solutions are presented in graphical sketches and tabular forms using MATLAB bvp4c package for physical interpretations of sundry controlling variables impacts. To gauge veracity of computed results, comparisons with already published results have been presented. Moreover, the statistical concept of Pearson correlation coefficient has been employed to prove strong relationship between slip parameters and physical quantities. Research concludes that thermal efficiency of TNF improves by rising velocity slip, magnetic force, curvature factor, thermal radiation, and thermophoresis effects. Velocity slip and thermal slip improve concentration boundary layer. Gyrotactic microorganisms’ density improves for higher velocity slip, temperature slip while depreciates for larger values of nanoparticle concentration slip and motile organism density slip.
Theatre in Health and Wellbeing: A First Nations Australian Approach
Authors: Woodland Sarah , Bell-Wykes Kamarra 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe health education theatre works produced by Ilbijerri Theatre Company since 2006 represent a contemporary continuation of cultural storytelling, performance, education, and healing ceremonies that have been practised by Australian First Nations communities for millennia. While these works can be seen as standalone examples of First Nations theatre practice, they also intersect with theatre in education, theatre in health education, and theatre for development—collectively situated under the banner of ‘applied theatre’ in Western theatre studies. The integration of contemporary Australian First Nations performance practice with applied theatre is unique, making a study of these works significant for a global audience. This chapter provides a contextual review of contemporary First Nations dramaturgies in Australia and their relationship to community wellbeing, strength, and resistance. It is followed by a discussion of focused theatre for health education programs in First Nations and global majority contexts. By bringing together these strands, we aim to situate the health education works produced by Ilbijerri within a theoretical framework that extends beyond the notion of ‘social impact’ into a more holistic conception of wellbeing that offers a foundation for subsequent discussion in the book.
The “Gripping Dramatic Yarn”

Published: August 2024

AbstractThis chapter presents further findings from our study on the five health education works led by Kamarra Bell-Wykes and produced by Ilbijerri Theatre Company from 2006 to 2019. These findings draw on interviews conducted with eight practitioners who were involved over the years as performers, production staff, and advisors, a research yarn conducted between co-authors Sarah and Kamarra, and Kamarra’s own critical reflections while putting together this volume. We also analysed documents and data from Ilbijerri’s corporate archive and published works such as those by Clare Keating (‘Chopped Liver’ Evaluation Report. Effective Change Pty Ltd. Melbourne: Ilbijerri Theatre Company. Supplied,2009) and Blayne Welsh (The Hepatitis C Trilogy: A Case for Indigenous Theatre as a Contemporary Manifestation of Traditional Healing Business. Australasian Drama Studies 73: 20–41. https://search.informit.org/doi/abs/10.3316/ielapa.146479491877297, 2018). Utilising a quote from Isaac Drandic (one of the study’s interview subjects), this chapter explores the second of three prominent themes within the data: the framing of the works as “gripping dramatic yarns” that centred cultural storytelling infused with authenticity, engaging characters, humour, and strong acting and performance skills. As we explore in Chap. 6, these elements enabled the works to deftly walk the line between entertainment and education, effectively promoting audience engagement and connection and supporting the health education and messaging. As such, we continue to argue that the works progress the dramaturgies of wellbeing, strength, and resistance that characterise contemporary First Nations theatre in Australia.

Abstract
Neutrino oscillation experiments provide a unique window in exploring several new physics scenarios beyond the standard three flavour. One such scenario is quantum decoherence in neutrino oscillation which tends to destroy the interference pattern of neutrinos reaching the far detector from the source. In this work, we study the decoherence in neutrino oscillation in the context of the ESSnuSB experiment. We consider the energy-independent decoherence parameter and derive the analytical expressions for Pμe and Pμμ probabilities in vacuum. We have computed the capability of ESSnuSB to put bounds on the decoherence parameters namely, Γ21 and Γ32 and found that the constraints on Γ21 are competitive compared to the DUNE bounds and better than the most stringent LBL ones from MINOS/MINOS+. We have also investigated the impact of decoherence on the ESSnuSB measurement of the Dirac CP phase δCP and concluded that it remains robust in the presence of new physics.

ZusammenfassungPatienten mit rezidivierenden, anteroinferioren Schulterluxationen und bipolarem Knochendefekt lassen sich zum Teil nicht mit reinen Weichteilstabilisierungen erfolgreich behandeln und benötigen oftmals knöcherne Augmentationen. Insbesondere Patienten mit Epilepsie oder fraglichen Krampfanfällen in der Vorgeschichte stellen aufgrund der oftmals massiven humeralen knöchernen Defekte eine Herausforderung dar. Zudem sollten mögliche weitere Luxationsereignisse bei einem erneuten Krampfanfall vom behandelnden Chirurgen antizipiert werden. Im Falle einer erneuten Luxation könnte es zu Implantat-assoziierten Komplikationen kommen. In diesem Fallbericht wird ein Patient mit bilateraler anteriorer Schulterinstabilität mit großem bipolarem Knochendefekt vorgestellt. Rechts wurde zweifach erfolglos eine weichteilige Stabilisierungsoperation durchgeführt. Als Stabilisierungsverfahren wurde glenoidal eine implantatfreie, knöcherne Rekonstruktion mittels J‑Span-Plastik und humeral eine metallfreie Defektauffüllung mittels Fresh-Frozen-Femurkopf-Allograft sowie Biokompressionsschrauben beidseits durchgeführt. Im 2‑Jahres-Follow-up zeigte sich beidseits eine stabile Schulter sowie eine gute Einheilung der knöchernen Rekonstruktion glenoidal und humeral mit entsprechender Remodelierung. Die kombinierte glenoidale Augmentation mit J‑Span-Plastik und der humerale Aufbau mittels Femurkopf-Allograft stellt eine gute Therapieoption für Patienten mit anteriorer Schulterinstabilität und großen bipolaren Knochendefekten dar. Insbesondere bei Patienten mit rezidivierenden Krampfanfällen ist diese glenoidal implantatfreie und humeral metallfreie operative Option erstrebenswert.
Update on the Genetics of Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Authors: Jovanovic Milena , Marini Joan C. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous heritable skeletal dysplasia characterized by bone fragility and deformity, growth deficiency, and other secondary connective tissue defects. OI is now understood as a collagen-related disorder caused by defects of genes whose protein products interact with collagen for folding, post-translational modification, processing and trafficking, affecting bone mineralization and osteoblast differentiation. This review provides the latest updates on genetics of OI, including new developments in both dominant and rare OI forms, as well as the signaling pathways involved in OI pathophysiology. There is a special emphasis on discoveries of recessive mutations in TENT5A, MESD, KDELR2 and CCDC134 whose causality of OI types XIX, XX, XXI and XXI, respectively, is now established and expends the complexity of mechanisms underlying OI to overlap LRP5/6 and MAPK/ERK pathways. We also review in detail new discoveries connecting the known OI types to each other, which may underlie an eventual understanding of a final common pathway in OI cellular and bone biology.
