AbstractObjectivePrimary care practitioners are crucial to engaging people in Australia's national cervical screening program. From July 2022, practitioners have been able to offer all screen‐eligible people the choice to collect their own self‐collected sample; an option introduced to increase equity. This study explored how practitioners are intending to incorporate universal access to self‐collection into their clinical care.MethodsSemi‐structed interviews with 27 general practitioners, nurses, and practice managers from 10 practices in Victoria, Australia conducted between May and August 2022. Interviews were deductively coded, informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. The Diffusion of Innovations theory was used to categorise intention to provide self‐collection.ResultsParticipants were supportive of universal access to self‐collection, citing benefits for screen‐eligible people and that it overcame the limited adaptability of the previous policy. Most participants' practices (n = 7, 70%) had implemented or had plans to offer the option for self‐collection to all. Participants deliberating whether to provide universal access to self‐collection held concerns about the correct performance of the self‐test and the perceived loss of opportunity to perform a pelvic examination. Limited time to change practice‐level processes and competing demands within consultations were anticipated as implementation barriers.ConclusionsThe extent to which self‐collection can promote equity within the program will be limited without wide‐spread adoption by practitioners. Communication and education that addresses concerns of practitioners, along with targeted implementation support, will be critical to ensuring that self‐collection can increase participation and Australia's progression towards elimination of cervical cancer.

AbstractIntroductionClinical trials are being conducted and are being planned to assess the safety and efficacy of multi‐cancer early detection (MCED) tests for use in cancer screening. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of primary care patient outreach in recruiting participants to a planned MCED clinical trial, assess patient interest in trial participation, and measure decisional conflict related to participation.MethodsThe research team used the electronic medical record of a large, urban health care system to identify primary care patients 50–80 years of age who were potentially eligible for a planned MCED trial. We mailed information about the planned MCED trial to identified patients and then contacted the patients by telephone to obtain consent and administer a baseline survey. Subsequently, we contacted consented patients to complete an interview to review the mailed information and elicit perceptions about trial participation. Finally, a research coordinator administered an endpoint telephone survey to assess patient interest in and decisional conflict related to joining the trial.ResultsWe randomly identified 1000 eligible patients and were able to make contact with 690 (69%) by telephone. Of the patients contacted, 217 (31%) completed the decision counseling session and 219 (32%) completed the endpoint survey. Among endpoint survey respondents, 177 (81%) expressed interest in joining the MCED trial and 162 (74%) reported low decisional conflict.ConclusionsMost patients were contacted and about a quarter of those contacted expressed interest in and low decisional conflict about joining the planned MCED trial. Research is needed to determine how to optimize patient outreach and engage patients in shared decision‐making about MCED trial participation.

Published: May 2024

AbstractFace reenactment technology is widely applied in various applications. However, the reconstruction effects of existing methods are often not quite realistic enough. Thus, this paper proposes a progressive face reenactment method. First, to make full use of the key information, we propose adaptive convolution and instance normalization to encode the key information into all learnable parameters in the network, including the weights of the convolution kernels and the means and variances in the normalization layer. Second, we present continuous transitive facial expression generation according to all the weights of the network generated by the key points, resulting in the continuous change of the image generated by the network. Third, in contrast to classical convolution, we apply the combination of depth‐ and point‐wise convolutions, which can greatly reduce the number of weights and improve the efficiency of training. Finally, we extend the proposed face reenactment method to the face editing application. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, which can generate a clearer and more realistic face from any person and is more generic and applicable than other methods.

Published: May 2024

AbstractTo monitor and assess social dynamics and risks at large gatherings, we propose “SocialVis,” a comprehensive monitoring system based on multi‐object tracking and graph analysis techniques. Our SocialVis includes a camera detection system that operates in two modes: a real‐time mode, which enables participants to track and identify close contacts instantly, and an offline mode that allows for more comprehensive post‐event analysis. The dual functionality not only aids in preventing mass gatherings or overcrowding by enabling the issuance of alerts and recommendations to organizers, but also allows for the generation of proximity‐based graphs that map participant interactions, thereby enhancing the understanding of social dynamics and identifying potential high‐risk areas. It also provides tools for analyzing pedestrian flow statistics and visualizing paths, offering valuable insights into crowd density and interaction patterns. To enhance system performance, we designed the SocialDetect algorithm in conjunction with the BYTE tracking algorithm. This combination is specifically engineered to improve detection accuracy and minimize ID switches among tracked objects, leveraging the strengths of both algorithms. Experiments on both public and real‐world datasets validate that our SocialVis outperforms existing methods, showing improvement in detection accuracy and reduction in ID switches in dense pedestrian scenarios.

Key Clinical MessageThis case report provides a peculiar case of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis (TCP) who presented with right ventricular dysfunction after pericardiectomy. Right ventricular dysfunction is one of the main postoperative complications after pericardiectomy. Rapid and accurate identification of right ventricular dysfunction confirmed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), associated with the rapid initiation of diuretics and inotropic therapy is necessary for the patient's complete recovery.AbstractTCP is a condition characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the pericardium. Pericardiectomy is the standard treatment for patients with constrictive pericarditis and persistent symptoms. One possible surgical complication is right ventricle (RV) failure. We report a case of a 44‐year‐old man who developed RV failure after pericardiectomy for TCP. A 41‐year‐old man with no medical history was referred to our hospital due to progressive dyspnea associated with edema of the lower limbs and significant weight loss (30 kg) over the past 5 months. TTE revealed significant pericardial thickening and mild pericardial effusion with normal RV function. Chest X‐ray showed moderate bilateral pleural effusion. The patient underwent pericardiectomy and bilateral pleural drainage. Histopathological examination showed tuberculosis granulomas with caseous necrosis, and antituberculosis medication was initiated. Postoperative TTEs showed normal RV function and mild pericardial thickening. The patient was discharged home after successful postoperative recovery. Three weeks later, the patient was admitted to the emergency department with dyspnea and hypoxemia. TTE revealed RV systolic dysfunction. Chest CT showed a recurrence of moderate pleural effusion, this time loculated, with restrictive atelectasis of the adjacent lung parenchyma. Diuretics and inotropic therapy were initiated, and the patient underwent lung decortication after confirmation of tuberculous empyema. The patient experienced significant clinical improvement. TTE before discharge showed a decreased RV chamber size with improved RV systolic function. The patient was discharged in a stable condition 30 days after admission with a low dose of oral furosemide. Four months after discharge, he remained asymptomatic with good functional status. Pericardiectomy for TCP may carry the risk of developing RV dysfunction. Furthermore, TCP itself may be associated with other complications, such as empyema. We emphasize the importance of conducting a thorough clinical evaluation for patients with TCP, particularly those undergoing pericardiectomy, to mitigate potential adverse outcomes.

AbstractWe present a highly efficient single‐atom catalyst (SACs) tailored for nitroarene reduction using NaBH4 under ambient conditions. Employing an unique approach, we harnessed NaCl under high temperature to create host materials enriched with negatively charged nitrogenous and oxygenated functional groups, capable of anchoring and stabilizing Ni ions within the aromatic structure. The nickel single sites were prepared by a straightforward cation exchange method. STEM‐HAADF imaging confirmed the presence of nickel single‐atoms, while XPS, FTIR, and Raman spectra validated nickel coordination within the catalyst. Remarkably, the CN−Ni catalyst exhibited exceptional catalytic performance under ambient conditions, achieving a high catalytic activity with NaBH4 (TOF 2246
452 h−1 and 107
47 mmol g−1 min−1). It also demonstrated remarkable conversion exceeding 90 % and outstanding selectivity. Equally impressive was its ability to maintain full catalytic activity over multiple reaction cycles, highlighting its robustness. This work is a significant leap in SACs design, offering a versatile and highly effective preparation method for SACs based on N‐doped carbon with far‐reaching implications in industrial reduction reactions.

Published: May 2024

AbstractPorphyrin atropisomerism, which arises from restricted σ‐bond rotation between the macrocycle and a sufficiently bulky substituent, was identified in 1969 by Gottwald and Ullman in 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(o‐hydroxyphenyl)porphyrins. Henceforth, an entirely new field has emerged utilizing this transformative tool. This review strives to explain the consequences of atropisomerism in porphyrins, the methods which have been developed for their separation and analysis and present the diverse array of applications. Porphyrins alone possess intriguing properties and a structure which can be easily decorated and molded for a specific function. Therefore, atropisomerism serves as a transformative tool, making it possible to obtain even a specific molecular shape. Atropisomerism has been thoroughly exploited in catalysis and molecular recognition yet presents both challenges and opportunities in medicinal chemistry.

AbstractA genetic algorithm (GA) was used in this simulation work and a well‐studied double perovskite structure was chosen to verify the feasibility of the algorithm. To pursue excellent efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell, the experimental and simulation data were summarized to determine the adjustable range of parameters for the simulated cell structure. The GA can help us to determine the best combination among a wide range of potential possibilities. The optimal solution was obtained by substituting the best combination data into SCAPS‐1D and the open circuit voltage (VOC) was 1.08 V, fill factor (FF) was 88.81%, short circuit current (JSC) was 37.06 mA/cm2, and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) was 35.54%. Compared to the initial simulation results, the efficiency was improved by 10 percentage points and the JSC increased by 12 mA/cm2. From these conclusions, it was clear that the GA provides a faster and more accurate way to find the optimal solution for perovskite solar cells.

Published: May 2024

AbstractA color rendition chart, the preferred memory color (PMC) chart, has been produced. It comprises 30 colored patches, divided into three groups: preferred memory colors, reference color‐gamut colors, and a gray scale. The main purpose of the new chart is to enable users to produce satisfactory preferred color reproduction using digital cameras, displays, and printing systems. The methods used to develop the various colors, and the color specification of each color are presented. Finally, several potential applications of the chart for the characterization of imaging devices, for the evaluation of image color quality, and for the calculation of color rendering indices for lighting are suggested.

ABSTRACTImaginal retraining (IR) is an approach‐avoidance procedure that has shown promising results in previous studies. The aim of the present study was to dismantle the efficacy of IR's components in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). We conducted a RCT with nine conditions comprising eight intervention groups and a waitlist control group (WLC). Alcohol craving (primary outcome), consumption, depressive symptoms, quality of life, subjective appraisal, and side effects were assessed online at baseline, post intervention (6 weeks), and follow‐up (12 weeks). The sample consisted of 426 participants (age: M = 47.22, SD = 11.82, women: 50.5%). The intervention groups received instructions for four different components of IR (mood induction, mental avoidance of unhealthy stimuli, motor avoidance of unhealthy stimuli, approach to healthy stimuli) that were each conveyed with or without prior psychoeducation (PE). The intervention was delivered online. At total of 163 individuals (42.9%) used the intervention at least once. No group differences were found for any primary or secondary outcome after Šidák correction. Uncorrected statistics showed effects of significantly decreased alcohol consumption for the approach + PE group in the intention‐to‐treat and the merged motor avoidance group in the per‐protocol analyses at post assessment compared with the WLC. Exploratory moderation analyses revealed that individuals with high visualization skills benefited most. The authors conclude that visualization training and motivational components may increase the efficacy and adherence of IR.

Published: May 2024

AbstractHerein, we report the synthesis of new near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescent dyes based on the pyridinium−cyclic enolate betaine (PCB) skeleton. The formation of the electron‐donor−π−electron‐acceptor (D−π−A) type dye with the electron‐donating N,N‐diphenyl amino group and the electron‐accepting PCB skeleton through a series of π−spacers allowed us to achieve NIR fluorescence. Particularly, a dye with a thienylisothianaphthene spacer showed NIR fluorescence with a significant intensity (λPL=822 nm, ΦPL=0.19 in DMSO). Detailed experimental and theoretical analyses suggested that the structural relaxation to a planar quinoidal form in the S1 state would be critical for intense NIR fluorescence.

Abstract2‐(3,6‐Bis(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐2,2,5,5‐tetramethyl‐4‐oxo‐4,5‐dihydropentalen‐1(2H)‐ylidene)malononitrile (DPM‐An) and 2,2′‐(3,6‐bis(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐2,2,5,5‐tetramethyl‐2,5‐dihydropentalene‐1,4‐diylidene)dimalononitrile (DPD‐An), both bearing the 2,5‐dihydropentalene core and intramolecular electron donor–acceptor moieties, were prepared and subjected to photophysical studies. The absorption spectra of DPM‐An and DPD‐An in CH2Cl2 at room temperature contain maxima at similar wavelengths of 406 and 409 nm, respectively. These substances do not luminesce in CH2Cl2 solution at room temperature, but they do emit light when present in poly(methyl methacrylate) films. Interestingly, DPM‐An and DPD‐An in the film forms display nearly identical emission (EM) spectra with respective maxima at 592 and 594 nm. In contrast, DPD‐An has a longer EM lifetime than does DPM‐An. Therefore, the dihydropentalene derivatives, exemplified by DPM‐An and DPD‐An, may be a family of substances in which excited state decay rate can be varied without changing EM wavelengths.

AbstractExploring cathode materials with excellent electrochemical performance is crucial for developing rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (RAZIBs). Zinc hexacyanoferrate (ZnHCF), a promising candidate of cathode materials for RAZIBs, suffers from severe electrochemical instability issues. This work reports using low contents of alkaline metal cations as electrolyte additives to improve the cycle performance of ZnHCF. The cations with large sizes, particularly Cs+, changes the intercalation chemistry of ZnHCF in RAZIBs. During cycling, Cs+ cations co‐inserted into ZnHCF stabilize the host structure. Meanwhile, a stable phase of CsZn[Fe(CN)6] forms on the ZnHCF cathode, suppressing the loss of active materials through dissolution. ZnHCF gradually converts to an electrochemically inert Zn‐rich phase during long‐term cycling in aqueous electrolyte, leading to irreversible capacity loss. Introducing Cs+ in the electrolyte inhibits this conversion reaction, resulting in the extended lifespan. Owing to these advantages, the capacity retention rate of ZnHCF/Zn full batteries increases from the original 7.0 % to a high value of 54.6 % in the electrolyte containing 0.03 M of Cs2SO4 after 300 cycles at 0.25 A ⋅ g−1. This research provides an in‐depth understanding of the electrochemical behavior of ZnHCF in aqueous zinc electrolyte, beneficial for further optimizing ZnHCF and other metal hexacyanoferrates.
