The Body That Counts
Authors: Hsieh Chieh-Ting 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This article is intended to analyze the “digital techniques of dance” implied in the different dance notations from the perspective of Medienwissenschaft. Medienwissenschaft, which is often translated as German “media theories,” regards media as techniques through which concepts are developed. The digital technique is therefore redefined here as the technique of counting in general through which the concept of number is developed. The digital technique of dance in this article is also defined as the “technique of counting number with the body in dance.” This article's analysis of the digital techniques of dance begins with the notation developed by Rudolf Laban for the Western modern dance and that developed by Zhu Zai-yu for the ancient Chinese dance. These notations were once researched by one of the most important dance researchers and choreographers, Liu Feng-hsueh, for her Chinese modern dance. The analysis of these notations indicates that the digital technique of Laban's notation is based on partition of time and space and the digital technique of Zhu Zai-yu's notation is based on interpretation of force. The article argues that it is only through the analysis of the digital technique of dance that “Chineseness” in modern dance can be based not only on the “spirit of the arts,” which haunts dance like a ghost, but also on digital technique as the technique of the body. For research on Chinese modern dance, it is the body that counts.

This review addresses the critical challenge of leukemia and lymphoma, delving into the epidemiology, treatment adherence, impact of physical activity, and the pressing need for more effective chemotherapy protocols. The purpose is to synthesize current knowledge, highlight existing gaps, and emphasize the importance of innovation in patient care strategies. Epidemiological data show variability in incidence rates and underscore the roles age, genetics, and lifestyle play in disease risk and progression. These insights are vital for effective prevention and timely intervention. The focus of the discussion revolves around the development of chemotherapy protocols. Tailoring these to the individual's genetic and cancer profile can lead to significant gains in efficacy and minimize unwanted side effects, crucially improving patient quality of life and compliance. Treatment adherence is fundamental to successful outcomes, requiring multifaceted support strategies. Education, side-effect management, and addressing care barriers are pivotal in ensuring patients fully benefit from therapy. Personalization in chemotherapy protocol development is a current focus, aiming to maximize efficacy while minimizing side effects to improve quality of life and survival. The conclusion advocates for an integrated approach combining research and clinical practice to cater to the biological intricacies of both the malignancy and the patient. Progress in these areas proclaims a future where personalized, effective, and compassionate cancer treatment is the norm, pushing us closer to the goal of transforming cancer into a manageable condition.
Hydration response technology dressings for low to excessively exuding wounds: a systematic review
Authors: Lev-Tov Hadar Avihai , Hermak Sarah 
Published: June 2024

Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to identify and qualify the current available evidence of the wound exudate handling capabilities and the cost-effectiveness of hydration response technology (HRT). HRT combines physically modified cellulose fibres and gelling agents resulting in wound dressings that absorb and retain larger quantities of wound exudate. Method: A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE (via PubMed and PubMed Central) according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The search was conducted using an unlimited search period. Studies or reviews that evaluated effect on wound exudate and cost-effectiveness, as well as the impact on wound healing were considered. Records focusing on wound management using HRT devices were included. Results: The literature search identified four studies and one comparative analysis, ranging from low to moderate quality, that compared HRT dressings to other interventions (carboxymethyl cellulose dressing, other superabsorbent dressings, negative pressure wound therapy). Conclusion: The analysed data supported the beneficial use of dressings with HRT for exuding wounds which was characterised by fewer dressing changes, improved periwound skin conditions and reduced costs.

Authors: Wesström Ingrid , Joel Abraham 
Published: June 2024

Highlights

Tested drainage system designs had no clear effect on the total amount of drainage discharge.

Tested drainage system designs had a clear effect on nutrient loads in drainage discharge.

Corrugated plastic pipe drainage systems had higher N loads and lower P loads than tile drainage systems.

Corrugated plastic pipe drainage systems gave higher yields than tile drainage systems and can be a profitable on-farm investment.

Abstract. A clear strategy for adapting agricultural drainage to future climate change is important for environmental and economic reasons. In a study aimed at developing recommendations for the subsurface drainage design in clay soils, we evaluated the impact of replacing an old drainage system (1920) with new systems (2018) on nutrient leaching and crop yield. Our field experiment included 12 individually drained plots divided into four treatments: (A) old system with clay tiles at 10 m spacing, without an envelope; (B) new system with plastic pipes at 10 m spacing, gravel envelope; (C) new system with plastic pipes at 5 m spacing, gravel envelope; and (D) new system with plastic pipes at 10 m spacing, gravel envelope and lime incorporated in trench backfill. We conducted flow measurement and flow-proportional, logger-controlled water sampling of the drainage discharge from each plot at a measuring station. Preliminary results (first two years) show a clear effect of the new drainage systems on phosphorus and nitrogen loads in drainage discharge. The lowest total load of phosphorus and highest total load of nitrogen in all treatments were observed in treatment D (with 10 m drain spacing and lime incorporated in trench backfill). The highest total phosphorus load and lowest total nitrogen load in all treatments were observed for the old tile drainage system with 10 m drain spacing (treatment A). The environmental impact of new drainage systems on clay soils may thus be a trade-off between decreased phosphorus loads and increased nitrogen loads with more intensive drainage. Crop data from two experimental years indicated that investing in new drainage systems can be profitable for farmers, as crop yield was 3%-20% higher with new drainage systems compared with old tile drainage. More experimental years are needed to determine the long-term effects of the different drainage system designs.

Development and Evaluation of a Single-Pass, Dual-Rotor Intensive Forage Processing Device
Authors: Studer Danton L. , Shinners Kevin J. , Timm Aaron J. , Digman Matthew Francis 
Published: June 2024

Highlights

A dual-rotor forage processor was developed to process wilted alfalfa and whole-plant corn.

Alfalfa and whole-plant corn were processed, achieving a 60% or greater processing level index in a single processing operation.

Rotor tip speed, rotor differential speed, and crop dry matter content significantly impacted processor performance.

Abstract.
Previous researchers utilized a single-rotor, screenless hammermill to improve forage utilization by dairy cows. They also established a surrogate measurement of animal response based on a relationship between processing level index (PLI) and in-situ digestibility. After a PLI of 60% was achieved, further processing resulted in diminished returns. However, to achieve a PLI of 60%, it required two to three processing passes through the single-rotor processor. In this research, a novel two-rotor processor was developed to achieve a PLI of 60% in a single pass through the machine. The final design featured two rotors with free-swinging blunt hammers. Material was transferred tangentially from the first to the second rotor. The first rotor was operated at tip speeds ranging from 66 to 110 m·s-1, and the second rotor tip speed could be adjusted to 1.10, 1.35, or 1.65 times greater than the first. Performance was evaluated by PLI, geometric mean particle size (GMPS), and gross specific energy (GSE). The processing of whole-plant corn at 51% w.b. moisture content and 50 mm length of cut resulted in PLI values of between 60% and 69% with a reduction in GMPS to 6 mm and a GSE requirement of 4.04 to 6.71 kWh Mg-1. Processing wilted alfalfa chopped at 35 mm length of cut and 67% w.b. moisture content increased PLI from 23% (chopped only) to 72% and reduced GMPS from 24 to 8 mm. The dual-rotor processor could process whole-plant corn and wilted alfalfa forages to the desired PLI of greater than 60% in a single pass.

Highlights

Shared perspectives from a panel discussion at the 2023 ASABE Annual International Meeting.

There is a need for creativity and guidance to assess transdisciplinary collaborative work in graduate programs.

There is a need to sustain transdisciplinary collaborative graduate programs long-term.

Shifting the culture around transdisciplinary collaborative graduate education would support increasing programmatic support and assessment methods.

Abstract. To prepare graduate students to address today’s complex agri-food systems challenges in research, government, and industry, there is a need for a workforce already trained in collaborative transdisciplinary research skills such as systems thinking, teamwork, and communication across disciplines. This perspective addresses this need through three major themes—assessment, support, and culture—identified from a panel discussion of academic and industry perspectives at the 2023 ASABE Annual International Meeting. Graduate student assessment (Theme 1) may include a diverse portfolio beyond the individual thesis demonstrating collaborative transdisciplinary competencies. Short-term grant-funded programs exist, but there needs to be longer-term programmatic support (Theme 2). Shifting the culture in graduate education towards regular incorporation of transdisciplinary aspects within student training (Theme 3) is a potential scaffold to increase programmatic support (Theme 2) and, ultimately, the adoption of more comprehensive assessment methods (Theme 1). Keywords: Graduate Education, Programmatic Support, Student Assessment, Transdisciplinary Collaboration.
Clinical characteristics, visual acuity outcomes, and factors associated with loss of vision among patients with active ocular toxoplasmosis: A retrospective study in a Thai tertiary center
Authors: Sittivarakul Wantanee , Treerutpun Wanitcha , Tungsattayathitthan Usanee 
Published: June 2024

Background
Ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) is the most common cause of infectious uveitis worldwide, including Thailand. This study describes the clinical presentation, visual acuity (VA) outcomes, and factors associated with VA loss in patients with active OT following antiparasitic treatment.

Methodology/Principal findings
A retrospective chart review of patients with active OT treated with antiparasitic drugs between 2010 and 2020 was performed. Outcome measures included clinical characteristics, interval VA, and predictive factors associated with loss of VA ≤ 20/50 at 6 months post-treatment. Ninety-two patients (95 eyes) were enrolled. The median follow-up time was 10.9 months (IQR 4.9–31.8 months). The median age at presentation was 35.9 years, 51% were male, and 92.4% had unilateral OT. Eleven patients (12%) were immunocompromised (HIV infection, eight patients; receiving immunosuppressive agents, three patients). Patients mainly presented with primary retinitis without previous scar (62%), posterior pole lesion (56%), and lesion size of ≤ 2–disc area (75%). Immunocompromised patients showed a significantly larger size of retinitis than immunocompetent patients. Oral trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole monotherapy was the primary short-term antiparasitic drug prescribed (85%). At the final visit, 21% of all affected eyes suffered VA ≤ 20/200. The cumulative incidence of recurrent OT at three years was 33.9% (95% CI, 19.7%–54.2%). Immunocompromised patients [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 4.9, p = 0.041], macular lesion (aOR 5.4, p = 0.032), and initial VA ≤ 20/200 (aOR 9.1, p = 0.014) were predictive of having VA ≤ 20/50 at 6 months post-treatment.

Conclusions
Ocular toxoplasmosis mainly presents as unilateral primary retinitis within the posterior pole. Severe VA loss was observed in one-fifth of eyes following treatment with lesion resolution. Immunocompromised patients, eyes with macular lesions, and poor initial VA were associated with poor VA outcomes.

Published: June 2024

Importance
The frequency and characteristics of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) may vary by SARS-CoV-2 variant.

Objective
To characterize PASC-related conditions among individuals likely infected by the ancestral strain in 2020 and individuals likely infected by the Delta variant in 2021.

Design
Retrospective cohort study of electronic medical record data for approximately 27 million patients from March 1, 2020-November 30, 2021.

Setting
Healthcare facilities in New York and Florida.

Participants
Patients who were at least 20 years old and had diagnosis codes that included at least one SARS-CoV-2 viral test during the study period.

Exposure
Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection, classified by the most common variant prevalent in those regions at the time.

Main outcome(s) and measure(s)
Relative risk (estimated by adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]) and absolute risk difference (estimated by adjusted excess burden) of new conditions, defined as new documentation of symptoms or diagnoses, in persons between 31–180 days after a positive COVID-19 test compared to persons without a COVID-19 test or diagnosis during the 31–180 days after the last negative test.

Results
We analyzed data from 560,752 patients. The median age was 57 years; 60.3% were female, 20.0% non-Hispanic Black, and 19.6% Hispanic. During the study period, 57,616 patients had a positive SARS-CoV-2 test; 503,136 did not. For infections during the ancestral strain period, pulmonary fibrosis, edema (excess fluid), and inflammation had the largest aHR, comparing those with a positive test to those without a COVID-19 test or diagnosis (aHR 2.32 [95% CI 2.09 2.57]), and dyspnea (shortness of breath) carried the largest excess burden (47.6 more cases per 1,000 persons). For infections during the Delta period, pulmonary embolism had the largest aHR comparing those with a positive test to a negative test (aHR 2.18 [95% CI 1.57, 3.01]), and abdominal pain carried the largest excess burden (85.3 more cases per 1,000 persons).

Conclusions and relevance
We documented a substantial relative risk of pulmonary embolism and a large absolute risk difference of abdomen-related symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection during the Delta variant period. As new SARS-CoV-2 variants emerge, researchers and clinicians should monitor patients for changing symptoms and conditions that develop after infection.
Long-term clinical outcomes of bariatric surgery in adults with severe obesity: A population-based retrospective cohort study
Authors: Wiebe Natasha , Tonelli Marcello 
Published: June 2024

Background
Bariatric surgery leads to sustained weight loss in a majority of recipients, and also reduces fasting insulin levels and markers of inflammation. We described the long-term associations between bariatric surgery and clinical outcomes including 30 morbidities.

Methods
We did a retrospective population-based cohort study of 304,157 adults with severe obesity, living in Alberta, Canada; 6,212 of whom had bariatric surgery. We modelled adjusted time to mortality, hospitalization, surgery and the adjusted incidence/prevalence of 30 new or ongoing morbidities after 5 years of follow-up.

Results
Over a median follow-up of 4.4 years (range 1 day-22.0 years), bariatric surgery was associated with increased risk of hospitalization (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.41,1.51) and additional surgery (HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.32,1.52) but with a decreased risk of mortality (HR 0.76, 95% CI 0.64,0.91). After 5 years (median of 9.9 years), bariatric surgery was associated with a lower risk of severe chronic kidney disease (HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.27,0.75), coronary disease (HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.33,0.72), diabetes (HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.47,0.56), inflammatory bowel disease (HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.37,0.83), hypertension (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.66,0.75), chronic pulmonary disease (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.66,0.86), asthma (HR 0.79, 95% 0.65,0.96), cancer (HR 0.79, 95% CI 0.65,0.96), and chronic heart failure (HR 0.79, 95% CI 0.64,0.96). In contrast, after 5 years, bariatric surgery was associated with an increased risk of peptic ulcer (HR 1.99, 95% CI 1.32,3.01), alcohol misuse (HR 1.55, 95% CI 1.25,1.94), frailty (HR 1.28, 95% 1.11,1.46), severe constipation (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.07,1.49), sleep disturbance (HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.08,1.35), depression (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.10,1.27), and chronic pain (HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04,1.20).

Interpretation
Bariatric surgery was associated with lower risks of death and certain morbidities. However, bariatric surgery was also associated with increased risk of hospitalization and additional surgery, as well as certain other morbidities. Since values and preferences for these various benefits and harms may differ between individuals, this suggests that comprehensive counselling should be offered to patients considering bariatric surgery.
Pericardial effusion in patients with chronic kidney disease: A two-center study
Authors: Eslami Vahid , Mousavi SeyedehFatemeh , Irilouzadian Rana , Baghsheikhi Hediyeh , Fesharaki Mehrdad Jafari , Samavat Shiva 
Published: June 2024

Background and aims
Pericardial effusion (PE) is a prevalent form of pericardial involvement in chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aims to investigate the clinical and laboratory features associated with PE severity in patients with CKD.

Methods
In this cross-sectional study, we examined the medical records of patients admitted to tertiary hospitals with International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes associated with CKD and PE. We included 112 CKD patients in stage 4 and 5 non-dialysis (ND) with PE for assessing the clinical and laboratory features of severity.

Results
Patients were divided into two categories based on the severity of PE. Seventy-two patients had mild and 40 had moderate and severe PE. Univariate analysis of demographic and laboratory features on the date of admission demonstrated that chest pain, dyspnea, serum albumin, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are associated with the severity of PE. The univariate analysis on the date of echocardiography showed significantly higher white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (percentage and absolute count), and NLR, along with significantly lower lymphocyte percentage and serum albumin among patients with moderate and severe PE. In the multivariable analysis of laboratory features, on admission hypoalbuminemia (p-value = 0.014, OR = 4.03, CI: 1.32–12.25) and NLR greater than 5.5 (p-value = 0.015, OR = 4.22, CI: 1.32–13.50) were significantly associated with moderate and severe PE. In a parallel matter, at the time of echocardiography hypoalbuminemia (p-value = 0.004, OR = 5.38, CI: 1.74–16.65) and neutrophilia (p-value = 0.005, OR = 7.94, CI: 1.89–33.44) were significantly associated with moderate and severe PE.

Conclusion
Despite advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of CKD, PE is still a concerning issue in these patients. This study revealed that hypoalbuminemia, neutrophilia, and NLR greater than 5.5 could be predictive factors of moderate and severe PE in CKD patients with PE. Further prospective study with larger sample size is needed to confirm these results.
