Qualitative insights into mental health treatment through telemedicine during the COVID-19 crisis: a natural experiment in community mental health centers
Authors: Hood Brittany J. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing mental health challenges and introduced new ones, particularly among vulnerable populations such as individuals within the criminal justice system, who disproportionately experienced employment, financial, and housing issues. As mandatory lockdowns and social distancing mandates were implemented, the United States saw unprecedented interruptions to treatment. Telemedicine emerged as a transformative tool in alleviating new and existing treatment barriers. Yet, limited empirical research has examined the impact and implications of telemedicine on mental health treatment in criminal justice populations.

Methods
The timing of this study’s data collection overlapped with the spread of COVID-19 in the United States and provided a unique opportunity to examine the impact of telemedicine as part of a natural experiment. Utilizing interviews with 61 community mental health center service providers, this study qualitatively examined service providers’ experiences in treating criminal justice-involved individuals with serious mental illness who were receiving mental health treatment through telemedicine.

Results
Service providers expressed satisfaction with telemedicine in addressing client transportation and childcare barriers while increasing engagement. Service providers voiced new concerns regarding clients’ confidentiality, digital literacy, and limitations to gathering non-verbal client information during virtual treatment.

Conclusions
Mental health treatment offered through telemedicine mitigates barriers to treatment that disproportionately affect criminal justice clients. Despite its benefits, challenges like access to reliable internet and to internet-enabled devices, confidentiality concerns, and information gathering must be addressed to achieve optimal and equitable mental health treatment through telemedicine. The findings support the continued use of telemedicine in mental health treatment delivery for this population.
An experimental study on the curing of desert sand using bio-cement
Authors: Fu Xiao , Ye Wan-jun 
Published: July 2024

AbstractIn order to promote the development and utilization of desert sand, this study is based on researching the most suitable ratio of bio-cement, analyzing the shear strength and permeability of improved desert sand by combining bio-cement and fly ash, and clarifying the applicability of tap water in bio-cement. The relationship between the two and the microstructural properties was investigated using the results of the straight shear test and the permeability test. The results showed that the urease solution prepared with tap water had a more pronounced temperature resistance. The urea concentration and the corresponding pH environment had a direct effect on the urease activity. The calcium carbonate yield was positively correlated with the calcium concentration, and the urea concentration was higher in the ranges of 1.0–1.5 mol/L. As the enzyme-to-gel ratio decreased, the calcium carbonate precipitate produced per unit volume of urease solution gradually converged to a certain value. The shear strength (increased by 37.9%) and permeability (decreased by about 8.9–68.5%) of the modified desert sand peaked with the increase in fly ash content. The microscopic test results indicated that the fly ash could provide nucleation sites for the bio-cement, effectively improving the mechanical properties of the desert sand. The crystal types of calcium carbonate in the modified desert sand were calcite and aragonite, which were the most stable crystal types. This study provides innovative ideas for interdisciplinary research in the fields of bioengineering, ecology and civil engineering.
Transcatheter embolization for duodenal ulcer bleeding originating from cystic artery erosion
Authors: Hu Peng , Chen Guangwen , Wei Jingpeng , Huang Rengui , Luo Yaochang 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Background
Ulcer erosion into the cystic artery is a rare cause of bleeding in duodenal ulcers, with only a limited number of cases described in the literature. Historically, treatment has predominantly involved surgical intervention. We present three cases of duodenal ulcer bleeding due to cystic artery erosion, which were successfully managed with cystic artery embolization.

Case presentation
This case series includes three male patients with duodenal ulcer bleeding, aged 90, 81, and 82 years, respectively, and no prior history of biliary system disorders. The ulcer locations were identified as two in the post-bulbar region and one in the anterior bulb. After the failure of medical and endoscopic treatment, transcatheter arterial embolization was adopted. Initial angiography did not reveal any contrast medium extravasation. Empirical embolization of the gastroduodenal artery using gelatin sponge particles and coils failed to achieve hemostasis. Super-selective cystic artery angiography confirmed the source of bleeding as the cystic artery. One patient was embolized with gelatin sponge particles and coils, while the other two patients were embolized with N-butyl-cyanoacrylate. All patients achieved successful hemostasis without gallbladder infraction.

Conclusions
Cystic artery embolization proved to be a minimally invasive technique for achieving hemostasis in these cases, indicating that it may be a safe and effective alternative to surgery for this uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Validation through further studies is warranted.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Breast cancer progression involves intricate interactions between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME). This study elucidates the critical role of progesterone receptor (PR) signaling in mediating the protumorigenic effects of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) on estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) luminal breast cancer cells. We demonstrate that CAFs produce physiologically relevant levels of estrogen and progesterone, which significantly contribute to breast cancer tumorigenicity. Specifically, CAF conditioned media (CM) promoted PR-dependent anchorage-independent growth, tumorsphere formation/stem cell expansion, and CD44 upregulation. CAF cells formed co-clusters more frequently with PR+ breast cancer cells relative to PR-null models. While both PR isoforms mediated these actions, PR-A was a dominant driver of tumorsphere formation/stemness, while PR-B induced robust CD44 expression and CAF/tumor cell co-cluster formation. CD44 knockdown impaired CAF/tumor cell co-clustering. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), also secreted by CAFs, phosphorylated PR (Ser294) in a MAPK-dependent manner and activated PR to enhance CD44 expression and breast cancer tumorigenicity. The FGF receptor (FGFR) inhibitor PD173074 diminished CAF– and FGF2–dependent PR activation, tumorsphere formation, and co-clustering. In summary, this study reveals a novel mechanism through which stromal CAFs orchestrate elevated PR signaling in ER+ luminal breast cancer via secretion of both progesterone and FGF2, a potent activator of ERK1/2. Understanding tumor cell/TME interactions provides insights into potential therapeutic strategies aimed at disrupting PR– and/or FGF2/FGFR-dependent signaling pathways to prevent early metastasis in patients with ER+ breast cancer.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Background
The Choosing Wisely® (CW) campaign recommended de-implementation of surgical management of axillary nodes in specified patients. This study aimed to assess trends in the application of CW guidelines for lymph node (LN) surgery in males with breast cancer.

Methods
The National Cancer Database was queried for males diagnosed with breast cancer from 2017 to 2020. Patients were categorized into two cohorts based on CW criteria. Cohort 1 included all T1-2, clinically node-negative patients who underwent breast-conserving therapy and with ≤ 2 positive nodes, and Cohort 2 included all T1-2, node-negative, hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative patients aged ≥ 70 years. In Cohort 1, patients who underwent sentinel LN biopsy (SLNB) alone were compared with axillary LN dissection (ALND) or no LN surgery, while in Cohort 2, patients who underwent LN surgery were compared with those with no LN surgery.

Results
Of 617 patients who met the criteria for Cohort 1, 73.1% underwent SLNB alone compared with ALND (11.8%) or no LN surgery (15.1%). Those who received SLNB alone were younger (65 vs. 68 vs. 73 years; p < 0.001). The annual proportion of males who underwent SLNB alone remained stable from 2017 to 2020. Overall, 1565 patients met the criteria for Cohort 2, and 84.9% received LN surgery. LN surgery was omitted in older patients (81 vs. 77; p < 0.001). The proportion of elderly males with early-stage breast cancer who underwent LN surgery increased from 2017 to 2020.

Conclusion
This study demonstrates that CW recommendations are not being routinely applied to males. These findings reinforce the need for additional studies and subsequent recommendations for optimal application of axillary surgery de-implementation for males diagnosed with breast cancer.

Abstract
Background
Surgery remains debatable in para-aortic lymph node (PALN, station 16b1) metastasis in non-pancreatic periampullary cancer (NPPAC). This study examined the impact of PALN metastasis on outcomes following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in NPPAC.

Methods
A retrospective analysis of patients with NPPAC who were explored for PD with PALN dissection was performed. Based on the extent of nodal involvement on final histopathology, they were stratified as node-negative (N0), regional node involved (N+) and metastatic PALN (N16+) and their outcomes were compared.

Results
Between 2011 and 2022, 153/887 PD patients underwent a PALN dissection, revealing N16+ in 42 patients (27.4%), of whom 32 patients underwent resection. The 3-years overall survival (OS) for patients with N16+ was 28% (95% confidence interval [CI] 13–60%), notably lower than the 67% (95% CI 53–83.5%; p = 0.007) for those without PALN metastasis. Stratified by nodal involvement, the median OS for N+ and N16+ patients was similar (28.4 months and 26.2 months, respectively). The N0 subgroup had a significantly longer 3-years OS of 87.5% (95% CI 79–96.7%; p = 0.0051). Interestingly, 10 patients not offered resection following N16+ identified on frozen section had a median survival of only 9 months. The perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing PD with PALN dissection were similar to standard resections.

Conclusion
In a select group of patients with NPPAC, PD in isolated PALN metastasis was associated with improved OS. The survival in this group of patients was comparable with regional node-positive patients and significantly better than palliative treatment alone.
Combining Endoscopic Submucosa Dissection and Endoscopic Full-Thickness Resection for Resection of a Gastric Schwannoma Mimicking Gastrointestinal Stroma Tumor
Authors: Kormann Stefan , Semadeni Gian-Marco , Weber Matthias , Brand Stephan , Borovicka Jan , Frei Remus 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
Subepithelial gastric tumors are a diagnostic challenge. Endoscopic ultrasound allows differentiation. Lesions originating from the submucosal layer can be resected using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Surgery or endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) techniques are alternatives. We present a patient with an 11 × 8 mm submucosal tumor in the gastric antrum suggestive of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, originating from the muscularis propria. Eventually endoscopic resection was performed, combining ESD and EFTR (hybrid ESD-EFTR). Contrary to expectations, histology revealed a gastric schwannoma. This case illustrates an efficient and safe endoscopic hybrid technique for the removal of submucosal gastric lesions.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The present research investigates how incorporating waste concrete block aggregates (WCBA) in place of natural coarse (5–12 mm) aggregates (NCA) affect the characteristics of concrete pavement. The topography of the voids, water absorption, porosity, and hydraulic conductivity characteristics such as flexural and compressive strengths in addition to density were investigated. The consequences of replacement were looked at using four replacement percentages, 10, 30, 60, and 100% of the normal weight had been substituted with 0% functioning as the control value. Mix design of 1:1.41:2.52 (cement:fine aggregate:coarse aggregate) was used in the study with water to cement ratio of 0.43. As the replacement percentage of WCBA increased, water absorption, porosity, and hydraulic conductivity increased while density, compressive strength, and flexural strength decreased. The drop in values in comparison to control mixture were in the range of 10–30, 22–40, and 1–32% for density, compressive strength, and flexural strength, respectively. On the other hand, increase in values (16–33, 12–40, and 11–37%) have been identified for hydraulic conductivity, porosity, and water absorption, respectively. When designing rigid pavement, concrete with replacement percentages of WCBA 30% produces results that were acceptable. Porosity along with other hydraulic characteristics, such as hydraulic conductivity, are closely associated. There is an extremely significant correlation between porosity and all topological parameters. Finally, high level validation (R
2 > 0.9) and predictive models of hydraulic conductivity and porosity were established.
Enhancing the processing advantage: two psycholinguistic investigations of formulaic expressions in Chinese as a second language
Authors: Lu Xiaolong 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The Holistic Hypothesis asserts that formulaic expressions (FEs) are processed more rapidly than non-formulaic expressions (non-FE items) by both native speakers (NSs) and L2 learners of English. This study utilized an acceptability judgment task and a self-paced reading task to investigate the online processing of FEs and non-FE items among bilingual speakers (L1 English, L2 Chinese) in both contextual and non-contextual conditions. Meanwhile, a familiarity rating task was employed to measure whether there is a familiarity effect in item processing. The results consistently provided support for the Holistic Hypothesis, indicating that learners of Chinese at each level exhibited faster processing of FEs compared to non-FE items, regardless of the presence or absence of context. However, the influence of item familiarity, rather than the proficiency effect, contributed to the improvement of L2 learners’ eventual processing abilities. Distinct patterns also emerged when comparing data from NSs and L2 learners of Chinese, highlighting L2 learners’ more pronounced processing advantage, characterized by faster response times (RTs) to FEs compared to non-FE items. Through an analysis of Chinese L2 data, this study sheds light on the interplay between the usage based approach and chunking within the cognitive approach to L2 learning.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Identifying success factors in football is of sporting and economic interest. However, research in this field for national teams and their competitions is rare despite the popularity of teams and events. Therefore, we analyze data for the UEFA EURO 2020 and, for comparison purposes, the previous tournament in 2016. To mitigate the challenges of perceived multicollinearity and a small sample size, and to identify the relevant variables, we apply the ‘LASSO Cross-fitted Stability-Selection’ algorithm. This approach involves iterative splitting of data, with variables chosen via a ‘least absolute shrinkage and selection operator’ (LASSO) model (Tibshirani, R. (1996). Regression shrinkage and selection via the lasso. J. Roy. Stat. Soc. B 58: 267–288) on one half of the observations, while coefficients are estimated on the other half. Subsequently, we inspect the frequency of selection and stability of coefficient estimation for each variable over the repeated samples to identify factors as relevant. By that, we are able to differentiate generally valid success factors such as the market value ratio from on-field variables whose importance is tournament-dependent, e.g. the tackles attempted. As the latter is connected to a team’s tactics, we conclude that their observed relevance is correlated to the results of the linked playing style in the specific tournaments. We also show the changing effect of these playing-styles on success across tournaments.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics of Burgers nanofluid in the presence of thermo-diffusion effects. The analysis considers higher-order slip effects to study the transport phenomena. Additionally, the study examines the impact of thermal radiation and chemical reactions on the flow. Variable thermal conductivity assumptions are made for heat transfer analysis. The Cattaneo–Christov model, an extension of Fourier heat and mass theories, is employed for the analysis. Heat transfer evaluation is conducted using convective thermal constraints, and numerical computations are carried out using the Runge–Kutta method. The study visually represents the impact of flow parameters through graphical analysis. It is suggested that heat transfer can be significantly improved through the interaction of slip effects, and the concentration phenomenon is enhanced by the Soret number.

Cidades compactas como possibilidade de modelo urbano: o caso de Londrina, PR.
Authors: Garbossi Milena Cardoso , Antonello Ideni Terezinha 
Published: July 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as possibilidades, potencialidades e se a configuração urbana compacta é atendida por meio do planejamento urbano na cidade de Londrina. Como metodologia será utilizada revisão teórica bibliográfica com ênfase perspectivas de Jane Jacobs, pautadas em seu livro “Morte e Vida de Grandes Cidades” (2011), sobre o tema Meio Construído e Cidades, além de, análise documental a partir da exploração dos Cadernos Técnicos 2 e 9 do IPPUL, para entender a realidade de Londrina e as propostas dos planejadores que buscam tornar Londrina uma cidade mais compactada. Nesse contexto, existe a necessidade de repensar o espraiamento das cidades, pois pode não atender as necessidades de deslocamento e acessibilidade da população. Assim considera-se que uma cidade mais adensada é capaz de promover um acesso de qualidade às infraestruturas, equipamentos urbanos e pronta a atender demandas sociais e coletivas, ou ao menos, amenizá-las.

Published: July 2024

Women outnumber males in several occupations. Some topics and courses are strongly dominated by women, like the dentistry industry. Today, women's roles in dentistry have evolved from dental assistant to dental student and professional. One of the finest instances is that female students enrolled in dental education courses account for 75 percent or more of all dental college admissions in India. The study's goal was to learn about the surge of women entering dentistry in India, as well as the reasons why they chose this profession.The study looks at the current situation of female dentists in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, India. Also addresses the problems that women experience, as well as the progress being made towards gender equality in the dentistry profession. Because this is an opinion poll, a questionnaire was distributed to all female academics in the two south Indian states. All female dentists were asked to mark the right replies to the questions, and the information gathered was forwarded for statistical analysis.This opinion-based poll revealed that female students are more interested in the profession of dentistry. In this observational study, the majority of females chose dentistry because dentists do not have to deal with life-threatening situations on a regular basis, and there is little on-call work and no emergency cases to attend.According to the findings of this survey, more female students than male students chose dentistry as a professional path. Compared to past days, the number of female dentists has grown in both academic and clinical practice. This is a rudimentary kind of female empowerment in dentistry.
