Abstract

Context
Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) was introduced as a new entity replacing the diagnosis of noninvasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Significant variability in the incidence of NIFTP diagnosed in different world regions has been reported.

Objective
To investigate the rate of adoption of NIFTP, change in practice patterns, and uniformity in applying diagnostic criteria among pathologists practicing in different regions.

Methods
Two surveys distributed to pathologists of the International Endocrine Pathology Discussion Group with multiple-choice questions on NIFTP adoption into pathology practice and whole slide images of 5 tumors to collect information on nuclear score and diagnosis. Forty-eight endocrine pathologists, including 24 from North America, 8 from Europe, and 16 from Asia/Oceania completed the first survey and 38 the second survey.

Results
A 94% adoption rate of NIFTP by the pathologists was found. Yet, the frequency of rendering NIFTP diagnosis was significantly higher in North America than in other regions (P = .009). While the highest concordance was found in diagnosing lesions with mildly or well-developed PTC-like nuclei, there was significant variability in nuclear scoring and diagnosing NIFTP for tumors with moderate nuclear changes (nuclear score 2) (case 2, P &lt; .05). Pathologists practicing in North America and Europe showed a tendency for lower thresholds for PTC-like nuclei and NIFTP than those practicing in Asia/Oceania.

Conclusion
Despite a high adoption rate of NIFTP across geographic regions, NIFTP is diagnosed more often by pathologists in North America. Significant differences remain in diagnosing intermediate PTC-like nuclei and respectively NIFTP, with more conservative nuclear scoring in Asia/Oceania, which may explain the geographic differences in NIFTP incidence.
Lower Independent Self-Care Readiness Persists Over Time in Teens With Type 1 Diabetes and Executive Function Challenges

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Purpose
Management of type 1 diabetes is complex and benefits from adequate executive function (EF) (planning, organization, problem-solving). Teens with diabetes and executive dysfunction may have challenges with the acquisition of self-care skills.

Methods
Over 18 months, parents of teens with type 1 diabetes aged 13 to 17 completed the Diabetes Family Responsibility Questionnaire (DFRQ) and Readiness for Independent Self-Care Questionnaire (RISQ) every 6 months. Parents assessed teen EF, completing the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). T-score ≥60 defined EF challenges. EF, demographic, and diabetes treatment variables predicted RISQ score over time using longitudinal mixed modeling with false discovery rate adjustment.

Results
There were 169 teen participants (54% male) aged 15.9 ± 1.3 years, diabetes duration 8.4 ± 3.7 years, and A1c 8.6 ± 1.2%. About a third (31.4%) of teens had parent-reported BRIEF Global Executive Composite (GEC) scores ≥60. After adjusting for age, sex, and DFRQ, those with GEC &lt;60 had a RISQ score 4.1 points higher than those with GEC ≥60, P = .016. Metacognition index (MI; adjusted for age,sex, and DFRQ) predicted RISQ while behavioral regulation index (adjusted for age, continuous glucose monitor use, DFRQ, and A1c) did not; those with MI &lt;60 had a RISQ score 5.3 points higher than those with MI ≥60, P &lt; .001. In all models, older teen age (P &lt; .05) and less parental involvement (P &lt; .001) predicted higher RISQ score.

Conclusion
EF skills, especially metacognition, appear important for the acquisition of self-care behaviors in teens with type 1 diabetes. Evaluating EF during adolescence may identify teens needing extra support during the transition process.
Glycodeoxycholic Acid Inhibits Primary Bile Acid Synthesis With Minor Effects on Glucose and Lipid Homeostasis in Humans

Abstract

Background
Bile acids play vital roles in control of lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism by activating Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 and Farnesoid X receptor, the latter promoting production of the endocrine-acting fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19). Short-term administration of single bile acids has been reported to enhance plasma levels of GLP-1 and to enhance energy expenditure. However, prolonged bile acid supplementation (eg, of chenodeoxycholic acid for gallstone dissolution) has been reported to have adverse effects.

Study design
In this proof-of-concept study, we assessed the safety and metabolic effects of oral glycine-conjugated deoxycholic acid (GDCA) administration at 10 mg/kg/day using regular and slow-release capsules (mimicking physiological bile acid release) over 30 days in 2 groups of each 10 healthy lean men, respectively.

Main findings
GDCA increased postprandial total bile acid and FGF19 concentrations while suppressing those of the primary bile acids chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid. Plasma levels of 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one were reduced, indicating repressed hepatic bile acid synthesis. There were minimal effects on indices of lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism. No serious adverse events were reported during GDCA administration in either capsule types, although 50% of participants showed mild increases in plasma levels of liver transaminases and 80% (regular capsules) and 50% (slow-release capsules) of participants experienced gastrointestinal adverse events.

Conclusion
GDCA administration leads to elevated FGF19 levels and effectively inhibits primary bile acid synthesis, supporting therapy compliance and its effectiveness. However, effects on lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism were minimal, indicating that expanding the pool of this relatively hydrophobic bile acid does not impact energy metabolism in healthy subjects.
Settler Shock: Colonial Fetishism and the Disavowal of Violence in Contemporary Canada
Authors: Weiss Joseph 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article draws on an analysis of the consistent phenomenon of “settler shock”—the persistent invocations of surprise expressed by settler Canadians whenever there are reports of historical or ongoing violence against Indigenous Peoples—to articulate the dynamics of colonial fetishism and settler disavowal. It demonstrates how these expressions of shock are not, as they might appear, authentic responses to genuinely unknown events but rather are part of a system of discourses that conceal the violence of settler colonialism by erasing its continuities, displacing its violence into the past, and removing Indigenous subjects from the circle of “legitimate” citizens against whom military violence would be prohibited. In particular, it considers different forms of colonial disavowal—one that hinges on time, the other on political status—demonstrating how the fetishism of land as colonial property is the stabilizing force on which colonial disavowal rests. It ends by suggesting, however, that settler colonialism can never, in truth, be stabilized.
From Dazzle to Diesel

Abstract
The rise of Turkish television drama series—or dizi as they are known in Turkey—is one of the most notable media phenomena of the past decade in francophone West Africa, particularly Guinea. This is taking place at a time when Turkey has significantly ramped up its economic, political, and cultural investments in Africa, with countries such as Guinea, rich in natural resources and with geostrategic sea access, rapidly emerging as new targets for Turkey's outsized ambitions. This article asks what we can learn about the global circulation of Turkish modernity—a unique blend of tantalizing consumerism and piety conceptualized as “neo-Ottoman cool”—in francophone West Africa by analyzing the hugely popular dizi alongside public debates on Turkey's investments in energy, transportation, energy, culture, or construction. Drawing on Joseph Tonda's notion of éblouissement (dazzlement), it argues that Guineans, like other West Africans, encounter the dazzling images of Istanbul's rich and famous that permeate dizi in stark contrast with Turkish investments in floating power plants and public transport or the Turkish-built Abdul Hamid II Mosque in Bambeto, a popular quarter of Conakry. The article proposes the phrase dazzle-to-diesel to account for the constant oscillation between blinding power and toxic fumes that accompanies encounters with neo-Ottoman cool in West Africa.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms has tremendously advanced over the past decades. Nevertheless, aneurysm residual and recurrence remain challenges after embolization. The objective of this study was to elucidate the portion of embolized aneurysms requiring open surgery and evaluate whether newer endovascular treatments have changed the need for open surgery after failed embolization.

METHODS:
All 15 cerebrovascular centers in Austria and the Czech Republic provided overall aneurysm treatment frequency data and retrospectively reviewed consecutive cerebral aneurysms treated with open surgical treatment after failure of embolization from 2000 to 2022. All endovascular modalities were included.

RESULTS:
On average, 1362 aneurysms were treated annually in the 2 countries. The incidence increased from 0.006% in 2005 to 0.008% in 2020 in the overall population. Open surgery after failed endovascular intervention was necessary in 128 aneurysms (0.8%), a proportion that remained constant over time. Subarachnoid hemorrhage was the initial presentation in 70.3% of aneurysms. The most common location was the anterior communicating artery region (40.6%), followed by the middle cerebral artery (25.0%). The median diameter was 6 mm (2-32). Initial endovascular treatment included coiling (107 aneurysms), balloon-assist (10), stent-assist (4), intrasaccular device (3), flow diversion (2), and others (2). Complete occlusion after initial embolization was recorded in 40.6%. Seventy-one percent of aneurysms were operated within 3 years after embolization. In 7%, the indication for surgery was (re-)rupture and, in 88.3%, reperfusion. Device removal was performed in 16.4%. Symptomatic intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred in 10.2%. Complete aneurysm occlusion after open surgery was achieved in 94%.

CONCLUSION:
Open surgery remains a rare indication for cerebral aneurysms after failed endovascular embolization even in the age of novel endovascular technology, such as flow diverters and intrasaccular devices. Regardless, it is mostly performed for ruptured aneurysms initially treated with primary coiling that are in the anterior circulation.
Double plating is a suitable option for periprosthetic distal femur fracture compared to single plate fixation and distal femoral arthroplasty
Authors: Kriechling Philipp , Bowley Abigail L. W. , Ross Lauren A. , Moran Matthew , Scott Chloe E. H. 
Published: June 2024

AimsThe purpose of this study was to compare reoperation and revision rates of double plating (DP), single plating using a lateral locking plate (SP), or distal femoral arthroplasty (DFA) for the treatment of periprosthetic distal femur fractures (PDFFs).MethodsAll patients with PDFF primarily treated with DP, SP, or DFA between 2008 and 2022 at a university teaching hospital were included in this retrospective cohort study. The primary outcome was revision surgery for failure following DP, SP, or DFA. Secondary outcome measures included any reoperation, length of hospital stay, and mortality. All basic demographic and relevant implant and injury details were collected. Radiological analysis included fracture classification and evaluation of metaphyseal and medial comminution.ResultsA total of 111 PDFFs (111 patients, median age 82 years (interquartile range (IQR) 75 to 88), 86% female) with 32 (29%) Su classification 1, 37 (34%) Su 2, and 40 (37%) Su 3 fractures were included. The median follow-up was 2.5 years (IQR 1.2 to 5.0). DP, SP, and DFA were used in 15, 66, and 30 patients, respectively. Compared to SP, patients treated with DP were more likely to have metaphyseal comminution (47% vs 14%; p = 0.009), to be low fractures (47% vs 11%; p = 0.009), and to be anatomically reduced (100% vs 71%; p = 0.030). Patients selected for DFA displayed comparable amounts of medial/metaphyseal comminution as those who underwent DP. At a minimum follow-up of two years, revision surgery for failure was performed in 11 (9.9%) cases at a median of five months (IQR 2 to 9): 0 DP patients (0%), 9 SP (14%), and 2 DFA (6.7%) (p = 0.249).ConclusionUsing a strategy of DP fixation in fractures, where the fracture was low but there was enough distal bone to accommodate locking screws, and where there is metaphyseal comminution, resulted in equivalent survival free from revision or reoperation compared to DFA and SP fixation.Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2024;5(6):489–498.

Published: June 2024

Background
Across the globe, a vast number of people, amounting to 1.28 billion adults aged 30–79 years, suffer from hypertension. Two-thirds of them reside in low- and middle-income countries, and a significant 46% of these adults with hypertension are unaware of their condition. Hence the study aims to determine the Antihypertensive use insights and experiences among hypertensive patients at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

Methods
A qualitative exploratory design was employed to recruit thirty 30 hypertensive patients from both male and female medical wards as well as the hypertensive clinic at the OPD of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. The patients were selected using a purposive sampling technique, following which they were involved in face-face in-depth interviews which were audiotaped. Recorded data was then transcribed and analyzed with content analysis.

Findings
The analysis of the data resulted in three (3) main themes and 10 sub-themes. The study uncovered a general lack of knowledge about antihypertensive medications. This limited understanding resulted in a negative attitude among most patients toward the use of prescribed antihypertensive drugs. When it came to their experiences with antihypertensive medications, patients shared a wide range of experiences.

Conclusion
It was concluded that there is a need to improve the knowledge and attitude of patients as these play pivotal roles in determining adherence levels. Thus, interventions such as the organization of educational programs and awareness creation is recommended to improve adherence level and in turn, decrease the prevalence of hypertensive complications associated with poor management.
Investigating the causal effects of COVID-19 vaccination on the adoption of protective behaviors in Japan: Insights from a fuzzy regression discontinuity design
Authors: Chen Fengming , Nakanishi Hayato , Sekizawa Yoichi , Ochi Sae , So Mirai 
Published: June 2024

Background
During the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns emerged that vaccinated individuals might engage less in infection-preventive behaviors, potentially contributing to virus transmission. This study evaluates the causal effects of COVID-19 vaccination on such behaviors within Japan, highlighting the significance of understanding behavioral dynamics in public health strategies.

Methods
Utilizing Japan’s age-based vaccination priority for those born before April 1, 1957, this research employs a regression discontinuity design (RDD) to assess the vaccination’s impact. Data from the fourth round of a longitudinal online survey, conducted from July 20 to 27, 2021, served as the basis for analyzing 14 infection-protective behaviors, including mask usage, handwashing, and avoiding crowds.

Results
A total of 12067 participants completed the survey. The analyzed sample size varied by outcome variable, ranging from 1499 to 5233. The analysis revealed no significant differences in the 14 behaviors examined among fully vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated individuals. This consistency across groups suggests that vaccination status did not significantly alter engagement in protective behaviors during the observation period.

Conclusions
Empirical findings highlight the complexity of behavioral responses following vaccination, indicating that such responses may be influenced by various factors, rather than by vaccination status alone. Additionally, this result underscores the importance of crafting public health policies that account for the intricate interplay between vaccination and behavior. This study contributes to the broader discourse on managing responses to the pandemic and tailoring interventions to sustain or enhance protective health behaviors amid vaccination rollouts.
Effectiveness of Bile Acid Sequestrants in Microscopic Colitis and Utility of Bile Acid Testing: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Tome June , Tariq Raseen , Chelf Cynthia J. , Khanna Sahil , Pardi Darrell S. 
Published: June 2024

INTRODUCTION:
Bile acid sequestrants (BAS) are an option for microscopic colitis (MC) refractory or intolerant to budesonide. There are inconsistent data on the prevalence of bile acid malabsorption (BAM) and utility of bile acid testing in MC. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate these outcomes.

METHODS:
A systematic search of randomized control trials and observational studies of adults with MC treated with BAS was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus from inception to January 22, 2024. Data were extracted on (i) prevalence of BAM, (ii) clinical response and adverse events, and (iii) recurrence after BAS discontinuation. Data were pooled using random-effects models to determine weighted pooled estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

RESULTS:
We included 23 studies (1 randomized control trial, 22 observational), with 1,011 patients with MC assessed for BAM and 771 treated with BAS. The pooled prevalence of BAM was 34% (95% CI 0.26–0.42, I
2 = 81%). The pooled response rate with BAS induction for all patients with MC, irrespective of BAM, was 62% (95% CI 0.55–0.70, I
2 = 71%). There was a higher pooled response rate in patients with BAM compared with those without BAM (P < 0.0001). The pooled rate of BAS-related adverse effects was 9% (95% CI 0.05–0.14, I
2 = 58%).

DISCUSSION:
One-third of patients with MC had BAM, and almost two-thirds of all patients responded to BAS with limited side effects. Patients with MC and BAM were more likely to respond to therapy, supporting the value of bile acid testing.
