AbstractBackgroundSingle parenthood is becoming increasingly common in today's society for various reasons such as divorce, the death of a spouse, or the choice of parenthood. Regrettably, there seems to be no significant concern among world leaders regarding depression arising from single parenting.AimThis article aimed to explore the prevalence of depression in single parents, the factors contributing to it, and its effects on their physical and emotional well‐being. Additionally, it aims to investigate the long‐lasting effects of depression in single parents, effective therapeutic approaches to tackle these issues and offer proactive suggestions for relevant global stakeholders.MethodologyA selection of studies was identified through electronic databases such as PubMed, Embase, and PsycINFO databases. The search strategy encompassed terms related to single parenthood, depression, mental health, prevalence, risk factors, and treatment modalities. Included studies comprised of peer‐reviewed research articles, systematic reviews, meta‐analyses, and observational studies published in English.ResultToday, there is a growing prevalence of single parenthood due to a range of factors, including divorce, the loss of a partner, and intentional decisions regarding single parenthood. However, this transition comes with challenges, including the risk of developing depression. Depression is a serious mental health condition affecting many individuals worldwide. Raising a child alone increases the likelihood of developing depression for the parent due to the increased burden and responsibilities. Such parents tend to have low self‐esteem, suicide/suicide attempts, and so forth and children born by those parents are vulnerable to depression, physical abuse, infections, etc.ConclusionFuture research should focus on identifying effective interventions for treating depression among single parents and improving the availability of mental health facilities for this vulnerable population, especially in places with a high prevalence of depression. Mental health physicians in collaboration with obstetricians and gynecologists across the globe should offer counseling and mediation services during pre‐conception care visits for both single and partnered parents.
Hybrid care potential of teledermatology: The importance of linking digital and physical practice and acceptance of online services: A cross‐sectional study

Published: July 2024

AbstractBackground and AimsTelemedicine, including teledermatology, has become a central component of modern medicine. Its importance, especially during the COVID‐19 pandemic, underlines its potential to optimize access to dermatological care. The study aims to assess the potential of teledermatology, understand the importance of linking digital and physical practices, and analyze the adoption of online services based on participants' demographic and experiential factors.MethodsThis cross‐sectional survey was conducted among users of the telemedicine platform from July 2022 to March 2023. The platform ("OnlineDoctor") allows users to contact dermatologists for remote dermatological consultations. The survey included questions about the participants' dermatological concerns, their reasons for using teledermatology, their satisfaction with the recommendations and their willingness to continue using telemedicine in the future. Data was collected via the RedCap online platform. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were carried out.ResultsOverall, 1141 people participated in the study (mean age 44.0 years [SD 14.6], 61.4% women). Results showed that 52.7% of participants with skin conditions had not consulted a dermatologist in the previous year. Shorter waiting times and the lack of face‐to‐face appointments were the main reasons for using the online platform. In total, 77.6% (n = 885) of participants indicated they would use teledermatology as their first choice if they had an upcoming skin condition. Age, gender, and satisfaction with previous consultations impacted the use of teledermatology as the first choice for future skin conditions.ConclusionTeledermatology is characterized by various benefits, including reduced waiting times and improved accessibility to treatment. Nevertheless, the study underscores the importance of a hybrid care approach involving direct interaction with physicians. Teledermatology can be transformative in meeting dermatologic needs, mainly when traditional face‐to‐face consultation is limited. A deep understanding of user preferences and widespread adoption of digital services can pave the way for the successful adoption of teledermatology platforms, improving healthcare accessibility and efficiency.
The scientist/practitioner in behavior analysis: A case study
Authors: Sidman Murray 
Published: July 2024

AbstractThis article is a transcription of Murray Sidman's presentation at the annual meeting of the Society for the Quantitative Analysis of Behavior in May 1998. It describes the development (from 1965 to 1975) of behavior‐change programs implemented outside the animal laboratory to benefit humans before such application was established formally as an entity derived from the experimental analysis of behavior. The presentation illustrates the use of an inductive method in practice, where working with a fluid behavior stream entails making intervention decisions on the spot. Examples include fading and backward‐chaining procedures in the establishment and stimulus control of novel actions. Sidman also discusses the certification of practitioners and the interaction between client and therapist and between basic and applied endeavors. The latter define what is contemporaneously described as translational intervention. It is noteworthy that Sidman's presentation was at a meeting attended by both practitioners and scientists.

AbstractIntroductionApheresis practices in the United States (US) have not been comprehensively characterized to date. This study aimed to address this gap by evaluating apheresis therapy through a national survey.MethodsA multi‐institutional survey was conducted between April and July 2023. The survey, comprising 54 questions, focused on institutional demographics, procedures, equipment, staffing, training, and impacts of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Responses from 22 institutions, primarily academic medical centers, were analyzed.ResultsTherapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) was the most common procedure, followed by hematopoietic progenitor cell collection (HPC‐A) and red blood cell exchange (RCE). CAR‐T cell collections were widespread, with some institutions supporting over 30 protocols concurrently. Most sites used the Spectra Optia Apheresis System, were managed by a transfusion medicine service, and employed internal apheresis providers. Insufficient staffing levels, exacerbated by the COVID‐19 pandemic, were common and most often addressed using overtime.DiscussionThe survey highlighted the ubiquity of TPE, expanding cellular collections and staffing challenges. The role of apheresis in supporting cellular therapy, particularly in newly developing cell and gene therapies and clinical trials, was evident. Staffing issues during the pandemic emphasized the need for innovative recruitment strategies.ConclusionThis nationwide survey provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of apheresis practices in large US academic centers.

AbstractBackgroundIcariin (ICA) inhibits inflammatory response in various diseases, but the mechanism underlying ICA treating airway inflammation in asthma needs further understood. We aimed to predict and validate the potential targets of ICA against asthma‐associated airway inflammation using network pharmacology and experiments.MethodsThe ovalbumin‐induced asthma‐associated airway inflammation mice model was established. The effects of ICA were evaluated by behavioral, airway hyperresponsiveness, lung pathological changes, inflammatory cell and cytokines counts. Next, the corresponding targets of ICA were mined via the SEA, CTD, HERB, PharmMapper, Symmap database and the literature. Pubmed‐Gene and GeneCards databases were used to screen asthma and airway inflammation‐related targets. The overlapping targets were used to build an interaction network, analyze gene ontology and enrich pathways. Subsequently, flow cytometry, quantitative real‐time PCR and western blotting were employed for validation.ResultsICA alleviated the airway inflammation of asthma; 402 targets of ICA, 5136 targets of asthma and 4531 targets of airway inflammation were screened; 216 overlapping targets were matched and predicted ICA possesses the potential to modulate asthmatic airway inflammation by macrophage activation/polarization. Additionally, ICA decreased M1 but elevated M2. Potential targets that were disrupted by asthma inflammation were restored by ICA treatment.ConclusionsICA alleviates airway inflammation in asthma by inhibiting the M1 polarization of alveolar macrophages, which is related to metabolic reprogramming. Jun, Jak2, Syk, Tnf, Aldh2, Aldh9a1, Nos1, Nos2 and Nos3 represent potential targets of therapeutic intervention. The present study enhances understanding of the anti‐airway inflammation effects of ICA, especially in asthma.

AbstractINTRODUCTIONTo eliminate cervical cancer (CC), access to and quality of prevention and care services must be monitored, particularly for women living with HIV (WLHIV). We assessed implementation practices in HIV clinics across sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) to identify gaps in the care cascade and used aggregated patient data to populate cascades for WLHIV attending HIV clinics.METHODSOur facility‐based survey was administered between November 2020 and July 2021 in 30 HIV clinics across SSA that participate in the International epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) consortium. We performed a qualitative site‐level assessment of CC prevention and care services and analysed data from routine care of WLHIV in SSA.RESULTSHuman papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination was offered in 33% of sites. Referral for CC diagnosis (42%) and treatment (70%) was common, but not free at about 50% of sites. Most sites had electronic health information systems (90%), but data to inform indicators to monitor global targets for CC elimination in WLHIV were not routinely collected in these sites. Data were collected routinely in only 36% of sites that offered HPV vaccination, 33% of sites that offered cervical screening and 20% of sites that offered pre‐cancer and CC treatment.CONCLUSIONSThough CC prevention and care services have long been available in some HIV clinics across SSA, patient and programme monitoring need to be improved. Countries should consider leveraging their existing health information systems and use monitoring tools provided by the World Health Organization to improve CC prevention programmes and access, and to track their progress towards the goal of eliminating CC.

BackgroundDespite the advent of combination antiretroviral therapy, people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) are at an increased risk for cardiac disease.PurposeTo explore the presence and extent of diastolic atrial and left ventricular dysfunction in PLWH using cardiac MRI in correlation with clinical markers of disease activity.Study TypeProspective.PopulationA total of 163 participants comprising 101 HIV‐infected individuals (age: 52 years [42–62 years]; 92% male) and 62 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy volunteers (age: 51 years [30–72 years]; 85% male).Field Strength/Sequence3.0 T, cardiac MRI including balanced steady‐state free precession (SSFP) for the short‐axis, two‐, three‐, and four‐chamber views were performed.AssessmentAssessment of cardiac function and strain analysis were accomplished by CVI42 software. Blood samples for CD4+ T cells and cardiac risk factors were also collected before MRI.Statistical TestsIndependent t tests, Mann–Whitney U test, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multivariate linear analyses (significance level: P < 0.05).ResultsPLWH had a significantly larger left atrial volume maximum index (LAVImax: 32.6 ± 8.7 vs. 28.7 ± 8.1 mL/m2), minimum (LAVImin: 14.8 ± 5.5 vs. 11.5 ± 5.4 mL/m2,), and prior to atrial contraction (LAVIpre‐a: 23.4 ± 6.7 vs. 19.7 ± 7.2 mL/m2) as compared to healthy volunteers. The LA reservoir (LAtEF: 55.0 ± 10.2 vs. 61.4 ± 10.4; Sls: 29.0 ± 8.1 vs. 33.8 ± 11.8), conduit (LApEF: 28.4 ± 8.2 vs. 32.3 ± 11.3, P = 0.01; Sle: 16.3 ± 6.5 vs. 18.9 ± 8.2), and booster pump function (LAaEF: 37.4 ± 12.4 vs. 42.7 ± 13.1, P = 0.01, Sla: 12.7 ± 5.1 vs. 14.9 ± 5.7) were all significant impaired in PLWH. Global circumferential left ventricular diastolic strain rate (LVGCS‐d) was significantly lower in the HIV patients. Multivariate analysis results showed that Nadir CD4+ T cells had a significant adverse association with LVGCS‐d (β = 0.51).ConclusionLA structure abnormalities and LV diastolic dysfunction were manifested in PLWH, with Nadir CD4+ T cell counts potentially serving as a risk factor for early cardiac diastolic dysfunction.Level of Evidence2Technical EfficacyStage 3

ABSTRACTAlthough research on team performance‐prove goal orientation (TPPGO) has flourished, there remains a scarcity of studies investigating its impact on individual performance. Drawing upon transactional stress theory, our study aims to explore the dual nature of the influence exerted by TPPGO on employee creative performance. Employing a multi‐level regression analysis of 369 two‐stage, multi‐source matched questionnaire responses, we find that challenge appraisal serves as a mediator in the relation between TPPGO and creative performance, while threat appraisal acts as a conditional mediator. Furthermore, subjective goal difficulty moderates the effect of TPPGO on both challenge and threat appraisals, thereby transmitting the positive and negative impacts of TPPGO on creative performance, respectively. Our findings contribute to the existing research by enriching the understanding of how TPPGO impacts creative performance, including its explanatory mechanisms and boundary conditions. Additionally, this study offers valuable suggestions for managers in setting team goals from a dialectical perspective.

Published: July 2024

AbstractTraditionally, lobectomy was standard for stage IA non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recent RCTs suggest sublobar resection's comparable outcomes. Our meta‐analysis, incorporating 30 studies (including four RCTs), assessed sublobar resection's efficacy. Employing a random‐effects model and I2 statistics for heterogeneity, we found sublobar resection reduced DFS (HR 1.31, p < 0.01) and OS (HR 1.27, p < 0.01) overall. However, RCT subgroup analysis showed no significant differences in DFS (p = 0.28) or OS (p = 0.62). Sublobar resection is a viable option for well‐selected patients.
The Thermal Energy Storage Characteristics of Oleic Acid Modified ZnO‐Decorated Polymer Matrix‐Supported Composite Phase Change Materials: Synthesis and Characterization
Authors: MERT Mehmet Selçuk , MERT Hatice Hande 
Published: July 2024

AbstractIn this study, modified nano zinc oxide (ZnO)‐reinforced polymer‐supported novel thermally enhanced form‐stable composite phase change materials (PCMs) are presented, which are prepared via water in oil emulsion polymerization and following impregnation process steps. First, ZnO nanoparticles are modified with oleic acid (OA) to obtain lipophilic structures for emulsion stability, which are designed to take a role as a heat transfer activator. To ensure the shape stabilization of n‐hexadecane used as organic PCM, polymeric support materials are synthesized in the presence of modified ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO@OA). The polymeric frameworks exhibit open porous morphology, and the thermal stability of the support matrix improves with the addition of ZnO nanofiller. In the second step, composite PCMs are prepared by incorporation of n‐hexadecane with the solvent‐assisted vacuum impregnation method into polymer composites. The 1.0% ZnO@OA incorporated composite PCM has the highest incorporation ratio and exhibits a thermal storage capability (η) of 100%. According to the T‐history and thermal conductivity tests, it is observed that the heat conduction rate is enhanced with the addition of ZnO@OA nanofiller. The conclusion is that the obtained ZnO@OA integrated composite PCMs have a remarkable potential for latent heat storage applications requiring low temperature in the range of 5–25 °C.

Published: July 2024

AbstractLiquid marbles (LMs) with a cubic shape are created by using various vinyl monomers as an inner liquid and polymer plates with mm size as a stabilizer. The relationship between the surface tension of the vinyl monomers and formability of the LMs is investigated. LMs can be fabricated using vinyl monomers with surface tensions of 42.7–40.3 mN m−1. The cubic polymer particles are successively synthesized via free‐radical polymerizations by irradiation of the cubic LMs with UV light in a solvent‐free manner. In addition, controlling the number of polymer plates per one LM, the shape of the plate or the coalescence of the LMs can lead to production of polymer particles with desired forms (e.g., Platonic and rectangular solids) that correspond to the shapes of the original LMs.
Research on performance enhancement scheme of optical camera communication based on adaptive exponential weighted moving average algorithm
Authors: Jia Wenyang , Tian Ming , Feng Jinliang 
Published: July 2024

AbstractWhen the COMS camera of optical camera communication (OCC) system acquired the information image, the grayscale value of pixels fluctuated due to the influence of blooming effect and light noise, so that the data logic could not be correctly judged by the decision threshold, which affected the bit error rate (BER) performance transmission distance and data rate, and degraded the system performance. In this paper, the adaptive exponential weighted moving average algorithm is proposed, and the optimal grayscale value matrix of signal demodulation is verified by experiment, so as to reduce the fluctuation of grayscale value and improve the performance of OCC system. The experimental results show that for data processing and analysis based on ZYNQ7020 experimental platform, a 7% forward error correction（BER = 3.8 × 10−3）requirements can be satisfied at 150 cm when the data rate is 3 Kbps, and a 7% forward error correction（BER = 3.8 × 10−3）requirements can be satisfied at 100 cm when the data rate is 5 Kbps.
