Authors: Papastaikoudis Foivos , Collins Rosie , Collins Dave 
Published: July 2024

IntroductionAlthough substantial research indicates that challenge plays a big role in the development of talent, little is known of the experiences of young performers as they negotiate and learn from these challenges.MethodsAs such, to better understand the nature and impact of challenge on the Talent Development (TD) pathway, we longitudinally tracked nine young footballers from progressive age-bands (five aged 11 years and four aged 14) as they experienced challenge over a 15-month period using a mixed-methods design. Five semi-structured interviews separated by three months were conducted, and data were analysed via thematic analysis.ResultsOur findings suggested that participants encountered recurrent challenging events, categorised into common/uncommon, planned/unplanned, individual-focused/group-focused challenges. Support for the benefits of challenges was pervasive throughout the data with participants progressing through stages with each challenge (drop, rebound and growth). However, the magnitude and rate at which participants experienced these stages was highly idiosyncratic. Indeed, the perceived impact, scale, and, ultimately, consequential developmental impact of these challenges appeared to vary greatly with participants displaying different responses to similar events. Such differences were underpinned by several individual factors (such as prior experiences and perceived coping skills), contextual characteristics of the challenge (such as type and timing) and support around the challenge (such as priming and reflection opportunities).ConclusionImplications include the need for coaches and psychologists to systematically assess and carefully monitor the individual circumstances, needs and skillset of young performers and use this information as a platform for deploying individualised, timely and developmentally appropriate challenges along with relative support to ensure optimal learning and growth from them.

ObjectiveThe local spread of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) follows pathways of dissemination along areas of lesser resistance. In more advanced scenarios, the tumor can extend beyond the hemi-tongue of origin, by passing through the lingual septum and following the fibers of the transverse muscle. This can lead to the invasion of the contralateral extrinsic muscles, the first being the genioglossus and more laterally the hyoglossus. An anatomically guided surgical resection of the tumor can be planned to ensure both oncological safety and an acceptable functional outcome. This approach aims to preserve the hyo-styloglossus unit (HSU) whenever feasible.MethodsBetween January 2019 and November 2022, six patients received extended glossectomy Type B (EG Type B), with preservation of the HSU. Preliminary oncological results and functional results in terms of swallowing (FOIS score) and quality of life (MDADI) are presented.ResultsFive out of the six patients are alive and disease-free, while one patient died due to other causes. All patients who were candidates for an EG Type B underwent a swallowing assessment prior to surgery and followed daily postoperative swallowing training. At discharge, the patients continued swallowing training in an outpatient clinic. Five out of the six patients reached a full oral diet within 1 year of follow-up.ConclusionThe oncological results confirm the safety of this technique. The importance of preserving the HSU, the minimal functional unit, shows very encouraging results in terms of swallowing rehabilitation.

BackgroundSingle use flexible ureteroscopes (su-fURS) have emerged as an alternative to reusable flexible ureteroscopes (r-fURS) for the management of upper urinary tract calculi. However, little is known about urologist usage and attitudes about this technology. Through a worldwide survey of endourologists, we assessed practice patterns and preferences for su-fURS.MethodsAn online questionnaire was sent to Endourology Society members in January 2021. The survey explored current su-fURS practice patterns, reasons for/against adoption, and preferences for next generation models including developments in imaging, intra-renal pressure, heat generation, and suction. Responses were collected through QualtricsXM over a 1-month period from surgeons in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. The study was conducted according to the Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES).Results208 (13.9%) members responded to the survey. Most respondents (53.8%) performed &gt;100 ureteroscopies per year. 77.9% of all respondents used su-fURS for less than half of all procedures while only 2.4% used su-fURS for every procedure. 26.0% had never used a su-fURS. Overall, usage was not influenced by a surgeon's geographic region, practice environment, or years of experience. Top reasons for not adopting su-fURS were cost (59.1%) and environmental impact (12.5%). The most desired improvements in design were smaller outer shaft size (19.4%), improved optics and vision (15.9%), and wireless connectivity (13.6%). For next generation concepts, the functions most commonly described as essential or important by respondents was the ability to suction fragments (94.3%) while the function most commonly noted as not important or unnecessary was incorporation of a temperature sensor (40.4%).Conclusionssu-fURS are not commonly used, even among urologists who perform a high number of fURS. The primary concern for adoption is cost and environmental impact. Suction capability was considered the most important future development.

ObjectivesIn addition to harms caused to individuals who smoke, second-hand smoke (SHS or passive smoke) is an important public health issue. We aim to estimate the extent of preventable deaths due to tobacco and SHS exposure in Southeast Asia.MethodsData were from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. We analysed data from Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Myanmar, Philippines, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam.ResultsIn 2019, there were 728,500 deaths attributable to tobacco in Southeast Asia, with 128,200 deaths attributed to SHS exposure. The leading causes of preventable deaths were ischemic heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, lower respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer. Among deaths attributable to tobacco, females had higher proportions of deaths attributable to SHS exposure than males in Southeast Asia.ConclusionThe burden of preventable deaths in a year due to SHS exposure in Southeast Asia is substantial. The implementation and enforcement of smoke-free policies should be prioritized to reduce the disease burden attributed to passive smoking in Southeast Asia.

ObjectivesTo assess the pre-training knowledge of Commune Health Stations (CHSs) physicians in Vietnam on pregnancy and child care.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted and a pre-training questionnaire was administered with physicians working at CHSs in three mountainous provinces of northern Vietnam. Calculated mean knowledge score and estimated adjusted odds ratios (AOR) to compare the relative odds of occurrence of the outcome “answering more than half of questions correct,” given exposure to the physicians’ characteristics.ResultsA total of 302 CHS physicians participated. The mean number of correct answers across all participants was 5.4 out of 11. Female physicians are 2.20 (95% CI: 1.35–3.59, p = 0.002) times more likely to answer correctly than their male counterparts. Physicians aged 35 years or more were significantly less likely to answer correctly (AOR 0.35, 95% CI: 0.15–0.81, p = 0.014).ConclusionThe study found that participating physicians possessed relatively low knowledge of pregnancy and child care. The study also found significant disparities in this knowledge according to the physicians’ characteristics. Thus, it is recommended the requirement for continuing targeted medical education to improve doctors’ proficiency in these areas.

In the current investigation, the antibacterial activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) formed by an aqueous extract of Psidium guajava leaves against foodborne pathogenic bacterial strains was investigated. To achieve this goal, 33 bacterial isolates were obtained from spoiled fruits. Among these isolates, 79% showed cellulase activity, 82% showed amylase activity, 81% exhibited xylanase potential, and 65% exhibited lipase activity. Moreover, 12 isolates showed complete hemolysis (β-hemolysis). The identification of these isolates was done using sequencing and amplification of 16s rRNA as Staphylococcus aureus (two strains), Pseudomonas syringae (one strain), E. coli (two strains), Salmonella typhimurium (two strains), Listeria monocytogenes (one isolate), Bacillus cereus (two isolates), and Bacillus subtilis (two isolates). The formed ZnO-NPs by aqueous Psidium guajava leaf extract were characterized using UV, FT-IR, TEM, EDX, XRD, DLS, and Zeta potential. The data revealed the successful formation of a spherical shape, crystallographic structure, and well-arranged ZnO-NPs. FT-IR showed the effect of different functional groups in the plant extract in the formation of ZnO-NPs through reducing, capping, and stabilizing of end products. Moreover, EDX analysis showed that the Zn ion occupied the main component of the produced NPs. Interestingly, the obtained bacterial strains showed varied sensitivity toward green-synthesized ZnO-NPs. The growth inhibition of foodborne pathogenic strains by ZnO-NPs was concentration dependent, forming a zone of inhibition in the range of 20–23 mm at a concentration of 200 µg mL−1, which decreased to 15–18 mm at 100 µg mL−1. Moreover, the values of MIC were 25 and 50 µg mL−1 based on the bacterial strain. Overall, the green-synthesized ZnO-NPs can be a useful approach for inhibiting the growth of spoilage bacterial strains that destroy fruits and hence reduce the harmful effects of traditional treatment methods on the environment and human health.

Background and Objectives: Transgender people are defined as individuals whose gender identity does not entirely match their sex assigned at birth. Gender surgery typically represents the conclusive and irreversible step in the therapeutic process, especially for the impact on the reproductive sphere. The increased awareness of gender dysphoria and the expanding array of medical and surgical options, including minimally invasive techniques, contribute to the gradual increase in the social impact of transgender surgery. There are several surgical techniques for “gender assignment”, such as vaginal, laparotomic, laparoscopic, and robotic, and the novel approach of vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery to perform a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO). The purpose of this review is to assess the various surgical approaches (hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy) for gender reassignment in order to determine the best option in clinical practice for the female-to-male population in terms of surgical outcomes such as operative time, surgical complication, hospital discharge, postoperative pain, and bleeding. Materials and Methods: This systematic review includes studies from 2007 to 2024. Special consideration was given to articles documenting the characteristics and management of female-to-male reassignment surgery. Finally, eight papers were included in this review. Results: The literature analysis considered surgical techniques ranging from traditional surgery to innovative methods like vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery and robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy. Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery and the robotic approach offer potential benefits such as reduced postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays. While vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery may encounter challenges due to narrow access and smaller vaginal dimensions, robotic single-site hysterectomy may face instrument conflict. Conclusions: The conventional laparoscopic approach remains widely used, demonstrating safety and efficacy. Overall, this review underscores the evolving landscape of surgical techniques for gender affirmation and emphasizes the necessity for personalized approaches to meet the specific needs of transgender patients.
Bénard–Marangoni Convection in an Open Cavity with Liquids at Low Prandtl Numbers

Published: July 2024

Bénard–Marangoni convection in an open cavity has attracted much attention in the past century. In most of the previous works, liquids with Prandtl numbers larger than unity were used to study in this issue. However, the Bénard–Marangoni convection with liquids at Prandtl numbers lower than unity is still unclear. In this study, Bénard–Marangoni convection in an open cavity with liquids at Prandtl numbers lower than unity in zero-gravity conditions is investigated to reveal the bifurcations of the flow and quantify the heat and mass transfer. Three-dimensional direct numerical simulation is conducted by the finite-volume method with a SIMPLE scheme for the pressure–velocity coupling. The bottom boundary is nonslip and isothermal heated. The top boundary is assumed to be flat, cooled by air and opposed by the Marangoni stress. Numerical simulation is conducted for a wide range of Marangoni numbers (Ma) from 5.0 × 101 to 4.0 × 104 and different Prandtl numbers (Pr) of 0.011, 0.029, and 0.063. Generally, for small Ma, the liquid metal in the cavity is dominated by conduction, and there is no convection. The critical Marangoni number for liquids with Prandtl numbers lower than unity equals those with Prandtl numbers larger than unity, but the cells are different. As Ma increases further, the cells pattern becomes irregular and the structure of the top surface of the cells becomes finer. The thermal boundary layer becomes thinner, and the column of velocity magnitudes in the middle slice of the fluid is denser, indicating a stronger convection with higher Marangoni numbers. A new scaling is found for the area-weighted mean velocity magnitude at the top boundary of um~Ma Pr−2/3, which means the mass transfer may be enhanced by high Marangoni numbers and low Prandtl numbers. The Nusselt number is approximately constant for Ma ≤ 400 but increases slowly for Ma > 400, indicating that the heat transfer may be enhanced by increasing the Marangoni number.

The chemical complexity in low-metallicity hot cores has been confirmed by observations. We investigate the effect of varying physical parameters, such as temperature, density and the cosmic ray ionisation rate (CRIR), on the molecular abundance evolution in low-metallicity hot cores using the UMIST gas phase chemical model. CRIR had the strongest effect on molecular abundance. The resultant molecular abundances were divided into three categories with different trends in time evolution. We compared our results with the observations of hot cores in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Our model fits best with the observations at a time of around 105 years after the evaporation of ice and at the CRIR of 1.36×10−16 s−1. The resultant abundances of the oxygen-bearing complex organic molecules (COMs), such as CH3OH, HCOOCH3 and CH3OCH3, do not fit with observations in the same physical condition and may be located in a different physical environment. Our results suggest that investigating the CRIR value is crucial to predict the molecular evolution in LMC hot cores.
