ObjectiveTo compare the detection rate and diagnostic accuracy of cardia polyps using endoscopy with blue laser imaging (BLI) and white‐light imaging (WLI).MethodsPatients were randomly divided into the BLI group and WLI group according to the endoscopic procedures. BLI followed by WLI was conducted in the BLI group, whereas WLI followed by BLI examination was conducted in the WLI group. The number, size, microstructure, and microvascular patterns of cardia polyps detected were recorded. Biopsy of the polyps was then performed.ResultsThe detection rate of cardia polyps in the BLI group was higher than that in the WLI group (7.87% vs 4.22%, P = 0.018). The rate of overlooked lesions in the BLI group was lower than in the WLI group (0.64% vs 3.38%, P = 0.003). The diagnostic coincidence rate between magnifying BLI and histopathology was 88.16%. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for the diagnosis of neoplastic lesions by magnifying endoscopy with BLI were 90.91%, 87.69%, 55.56%, and 98.28%, respectively. The most remarkable patterns for predicting inflammatory polyps were the prolonged and fine network patterns (sensitivity 71.43%, specificity 93.75%). Small round combined with honeycomb patterns were the most common among fundic gland polyps (sensitivity 80.00%, specificity 98.48%). Neoplastic lesions presented as villous or ridge‐like combined with core vascular or unclear pattern for both microvascular and microstructure patterns.ConclusionBLI is more effective than WLI in the detection and diagnosis of cardia polyps, and magnifying endoscopy with BLI may help diagnose such lesions.

AbstractIntroductionThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the patient selection methods, treatment outcomes, complications, clinical and radiological follow‐up after renal angiomyolipoma (AML) treatment with selective arterial embolization (SAE) in an Australian metropolitan tertiary centre.MethodsThis study presents a retrospective single‐centre review of patients' medical records who underwent SAE for renal AML during the period of 1st January 2012 and 1st January 2023.ResultsA total of 32 SAE procedures for renal AML occurred during the study period. Three episodes were classified as emergency cases [9.38%] and the remaining 29 were treated electively. Mean AML size pre‐treatment was 69.45 mm (range = 33–177; SD = 31.69). All AMLs demonstrated hyper‐vascularity on contrast‐enhanced cross‐sectional imaging (arterial‐phase enhancement characteristics and/or prominent tortuous feeding vessels) [n = 32; 100%] or an intralesional aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm [n = 12; 42.85%]. Periprocedural complications [n = 3; 9.38%] included: one intralesional haemorrhage after embolization, one vascular access site complication, and one lipiduria‐associated urinary tract infection. No patients suffered a life‐threatening complication, non‐target embolization, deterioration in renal function or death following SAE. Re‐treatment with SAE was performed in only three patients [10.71%]. Hospital mean length of stay was 1.58 days. Median durations of clinical and radiological follow‐up post‐treatment were 493 days (range = 104–1645) and 501 days (range = 35–1774), respectively. Follow‐up imaging revealed AML total size reduction in all cases [mean = −17.17 mm; −26.51%] and 50% had obliteration of lesion hyper‐vascularity after one episode of SAE. Outpatient clinical follow‐up signifies that none of the patients included in the study have re‐presented with lesion haemorrhage after successful SAE.ConclusionIn this study, renal AMLs were treated safely with a high degree of success by using SAE, and there were very low rates of periprocedural complications. Follow‐up of patients after SAE treatment of renal AML should include both radiological (assessment for reduction in lesion vascularity and size) and clinical review in an outpatient clinic setting (either by an interventional radiologist or urologist).

AbstractThe concurrent incidence of lung cancer and tuberculosis is expected to escalate due to the projected growth in the older population. Combination therapy with osimertinib and antituberculosis drugs has not been well‐established. We report a case of successful treatment involving the concomitant administration of osimertinib and antituberculosis drugs in an older patient, an 89‐year‐old female, diagnosed with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐mutant lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis. Accumulating evidence is warranted to develop an optimal treatment strategy for patients with lung cancer and tuberculosis.
Liminality, Situated Digital Tales, and the Pandemic: Three Cases of Radical Placemaking in Australia
Authors: Gonsalves Kavita , Foth Marcus , Caldwell Glenda Amayo 
Published: May 2024

AbstractSettlers of colour occupy a liminal space in the settler colony of Australia, and this liminality was exacerbated during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Through the literature on digital activism, technological immersion, and placemaking, this paper explores Radical Placemaking as a route for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people based in Brisbane to stake their right to the city through alternative digitised modalities. Three projects using situated digital stories were created: (i) the Chatty Bench Project; (ii) the TransHuman Saunter Project; and (iii) Chatty Bench Festival Community Media Visual Projections. We analysed the experiences of study participants creating the digital stories and eventual user experiences of the stories for their ability to provoke self‐reflection, immersiveness, and belonging through evocation and representation of lived experiences. The paper suggests that radical placemaking offers CALD communities subversive tactics of occupying space through emerging technologies without engaging in erasure of existing histories of place.

AbstractGender is one of the most salient social identities, particularly during early adolescence. However, factors related to adolescents' gender attitudes remain underexamined. We examined links between adolescents' gender discrimination, felt‐gender similarity, and intergroup gender attitudes. Participants were 270 adolescents in the United States (Mage = 12.95 years, SD = 1.33; 47.4% adolescent girls; 63.7% White, 12.2% Latinx, 10.7% Black, 4.1% Asian, 5.6% multiracial, and 3% indigenous). Path analyses showed that gender discrimination negatively predicted adolescents' attitudes towards own‐ and other‐gender peers. Felt own‐gender similarity positively predicted own‐gender attitudes as expected, but other‐gender similarity did not predict other‐gender attitudes. Further, own‐ and other‐gender similarity did not interact to predict adolescents' gender attitudes. However, adolescents' attitudes towards other‐gender peers were more negatively impacted by gender discrimination for those who felt highly similar to own‐gender peers than for those with average or low own‐gender similarity. Findings inform potential strategies to improve adolescents' gender attitudes.

Published: May 2024

AbstractBackgroundPeople with intellectual disabilities living in group homes often have complex health needs, are high health service users and need support from their service provider to access health services. In Australia, little is known about the types and amounts of these supports.MethodsA case study was conducted on a large Western Australian disability provider of group homes to 160 people with intellectual disability. Over an 18‐month period, including during the COVID‐19 pandemic, the study quantified health service use in hospital‐ and community‐based settings, ways by which the person was supported to access health care and the impact on other people supported by the provider. Economic costs of supporting access to health services were estimated.FindingsOverall, the disability provider supported 160 people in accessing health services an average of 23 times each (n = 3617, median = 20, interquartile range = 10–33) over the 18 months. Support included staff attending with the person (96%), following up with guardian/decision‐maker (50%), additional resourcing via overtime or staff backfills (6%) and transport (94%). The average cost of supporting one health visit was estimated at $78.51 AUD (2021). Impact on the person's household included loss of opportunity for housemates (30%), reduced supervision within the home (79%) and longer timeframes to complete care needs (32%). The impact of COVID‐19 restrictions saw a reduction in allied and mental health service use that did not return to prepandemic levels following the cessation of restrictions. Primary care, specialist, outpatient, pathology and emergency service use was also lower in the postrestriction period compared to the prepandemic period.ConclusionsFor people living in group homes, the disability provider plays an essential role in supporting health service access, primarily through the provision of support staff and transport. The change in health service utilisation following the COVID‐19 restriction period indicates that altered health system priorities can potentially exacerbate access inequality for people with intellectual disability.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACTThe relationship and related mediating mechanism between parental coparenting and adolescent academic engagement have yet to be elucidated during the pandemic. The present study is set to investigate the relationship between parental coparenting and adolescent academic engagement within Chinese families. Then it examines the mediating effects of parent–child communications in relationships. As a part of the national online survey in China, fathers, mothers and adolescents from 700 families across the country participated in the online survey. Both parents reported their coparenting support and conflict, while adolescents rated the level of open and problematic parent–child communication and their own academic engagement. Paternal coparenting conflict was related to adolescent academic engagement through both open and problematic communications. Paternal and maternal coparenting support was related to adolescent academic engagement through the mediating effect of open communication. Maternal coparenting conflict was related to adolescent academic engagement through problematic communication. Moreover, paternal coparenting support was positively directly related to adolescent academic engagement in the overall model. The research findings supported the effects of parental coparenting on adolescent academic engagement through the mediating effects of open and problematic parent–child communication. Paternal coparenting support had a greater impact on adolescent academic engagement.

AbstractIntroductionLeukotrienes play a significant role in the pathogenesis of adenoid hypertrophy (A.H.). Therefore, we aimed to analyse the role of montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, alone or in combination with mometasone, a potent local intranasal steroid, for the treatment of A.H.MethodsParticipants were children with A.H. were treated with montelukast alone or montelukast and mometasone furoate. The main outcome measures were effect of montelukast on clinical symptoms of A.H. A literature review was conducted using online search engines, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus, for randomized clinical trials assessing children with A.H. treated with montelukast alone or montelukast and mometasone furoate. Seven randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included with 742 children.ResultsOur study reveals that montelukast alone or in combination with intranasal mometasone furoate significantly improves clinical symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy such as snoring, sleeping disturbance, mouth breathing and A/N ratio. Montelukast was superior to placebo in decreasing snoring (SMD = −1.00, 95% CI [−1.52, −0.49]), sleep discomfort (SMD = −1.26, 95% CI [−1.60, −0.93]), A/N ratio (MD = −0.11, 95% CI [−0.14, −0.09]) and mouth breathing (SMD = −1.36, 95% CI [−1.70, −1.02]). No difference was detected between montelukast and mometasone versus mometasone alone in snoring (SMD = −0.21, 95%CI [−0.69, 0.27]); however, the combination group was superior to the mometasone alone in mouth breathing (SMD = −0.46, 95% CI [−0.73, −0.19]).ConclusionsThe limitation of studies included a small sample size, with an overall low to medium quality. Thus, further larger, higher‐quality RCTs are recommended to provide more substantial evidence.
Comparative analysis of approaches to the Wharton's duct during surgery of the submandibular gland: A retrospective case–control study
Authors: Vaiman Michael , Mizrakli Yuval , Gavriel Haim 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIntroductionWe investigated complications and recurrence rates after surgical techniques for sialolith removal with intact and resected Wharton's duct of the submandibular gland.MethodsThe retrospective case–control analysis of a series analysed 271 surgical operations (2003–2022) for sialolithiasis performed at a hospital department of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery. The study compared two approaches: (1) pure endoscopic technique or pinpoint stone removal with Wharton's duct left intact and (2) transoral duct dissection or pinpoint stone removal technique, after which the duct was shortened. While choosing the surgical option, the size of the stone, the location of the stone, and the presence of multiple stones were taken into account. The rates of complications (lingual nerve paraesthesia, duct stenosis, drooling, and sialoadenitis), the incidence of foreign bodies, and the rate of recurrence during follow‐up of ≥18 months were compared.Results323 sialoliths were removed from 271 patients. Of these 323 calculi, 150 were removed by the first approach and 173 by the second approach. The calculi varied in diameter from 2 to 38 mm with an average diameter of 8.2 mm. For all 271 patients, the rate of recurrence was 4.8%, but 11 recurrent cases (8.7%) appeared after the first approach surgeries and 2 cases (1.4%) after the second approach surgeries (p = .03). Other variables did not show statistically significant differences.ConclusionsSurgical removal of the submandibular calculi, ending with shortening of Wharton's duct, reduces the recurrence rate for sialolithiasis but does not affect the rate of postsurgical complications.

AbstractAimTo investigate the social capital of families with children with neurodevelopmental disabilities in South India receiving a community‐based early intervention (Enabling Inclusion®) program and to explore determinants and associations between social capital and program duration, socio‐demographic factors, family empowerment, and caregiver burden.MethodUsing purposive sampling in a cross‐sectional study design, 217 families (n = 71 received short Enabling Inclusion [<5 months]; n = 146 received long Enabling Inclusion [>9 months]) were recruited and completed the Short Adapted Social Capital Tool (SASCAT: cognitive, structural), measures of family empowerment, and caregiver strain. Descriptive statistics, regression, and correlations were used for analyses.ResultsIn 52.1% of participants, low cognitive and structural social capital was observed. Higher odds of low structural social capital were observed for mothers with primary versus secondary education (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.13–0.90; p = 0.029); and caregivers of children with cerebral palsy versus autism (OR = 4.66; 95% CI 1.02–21.21; p = 0.046). Significant associations were found between structural social capital, the child's age, and support group membership (χ2 = 6.29; 4.70; degrees of freedom [df] = 2; 1; p = 0.04; p = 0.02 respectively), as well as between cognitive social capital and other disability in the family (χ2 = 4.62, df = 1, p = 0.03).InterpretationWhile program duration was not found to mediate social capital, mother's education and child's diagnosis emerged as key influential factors, warranting their consideration in interventions supporting families of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities in low‐ and‐middle‐income countries and elsewhere.

Authors: Langlais Michael , Rahm Abbigail 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe goal of this study was to examine how social anxiety contributes to romantic relationship formation and whether technology may be used to assist this process. Participants completed an online survey (N = 242); individuals who scored moderate or higher in social anxiety on the Liebowitz social anxiety scale were invited to participate in an anonymous online chat (N = 41). Quantitative and qualitative data revealed that socially anxious individuals reported more confidence speaking to romantic interests virtually than in person. Social media appears to be a tool for socially anxious individuals to ease stress associated with romantic relationship formation.
What drives loyalty in small apparel retailers?
Authors: Lee Jaeha 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis study explores the characteristics of customers who are likely to demonstrate loyalty toward small apparel retailers, specifically focusing on the connection between hedonic shopping values and loyalty. A quantitative research approach was used, employing a questionnaire survey to collect data. Participant criteria were: (1) US residency, (2) 18 years or older, and (3) apparel shoppers. Attitudinal loyalty toward small apparel retailers acts as a mediator between the influence of all six hedonic shopping values and behavioral loyalty toward small apparel retailers. Trust positively moderates the impact of attitudinal loyalty on behavioral loyalty toward small apparel retailers.

AimTo evaluate the association between housing and psychological damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) and modifiable risk factors (MRFs) of dementia for general population of older adults.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study enrolled 29 039 community‐dwelling older adults (mean age 69.1 ± 2.9 years, 55.5% women). We evaluated disaster‐related damage (by complete or not complete housing damage) and psychological damage (by post‐traumatic stress reaction [PTSR]) after the GEJE using a self‐report questionnaire. MRFs encompassed the presence of depression, social isolation, physical inactivity, smoking, and diabetes. We examined the association between disaster‐related damage and MRFs using ordinary least squares and modified Poisson regression models adjusted for sociodemographic and health status variables.ResultsComplete housing damage and PTSR were identified in 2704 (10.0%) and 855 (3.2%) individuals, respectively. The number of MRFs was significantly larger for the individuals with complete housing damage (β = 0.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.19–0.27) and PTSR (β = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.53–0.67). Prevalence ratios (PRs) for depression and physical inactivity were higher in individuals with complete housing damage. The PRs for all domains of the MRFs were significantly higher in individuals with PTSR.ConclusionsHousing and psychological damage caused by the GEJE were associated with an increased risk factor of dementia. To attenuate the risk of dementia, especially among older victims who have experienced housing and psychological damage after a disaster, multidimensional support across various aspects of MRFs is required.

Published: May 2024

AbstractA steel ladle usually employs mortarless refractory masonry in the innermost layer in direct contact with molten steel. The behavior of such masonry under high thermal loading is complex and essential for designing such installation. A large‐scale experimental campaign was carried out focusing on a simplified, laboratory‐scaled, pilot steel ladle built with multiple refractory linings as in an industrial ladle. Tests were performed under transient thermal loading up to 1400°C with new and used working linings. The results showed that the distribution of temperatures between the refractory linings was similar for all specimens and confirmed the importance of the selection of the refractory materials in the distinct linings of the ladle to limit heat losses. The heterogeneity in the distribution of dry joints and the effect of the dry joint thickness were also measured using strain gauges. The measurements indicate the effect of viscoplasticity in the working lining on the steel shell, which shows a progressive reduction in the strain starting at 1200°C. The tests performed on the working linings show lower strain built‐up due to large viscoplastic deformation and increased joint thickness.
