Oceanic Pasts, Planetary Futures: Deep-Sea Core Data and Temporal Negotiation in the CLIMAP Project (1971–1982)
Authors: Isberg Erik 
Published: February 2025

This article explores the temporalities of deep-sea core research in the 1970s and traces how this small scientific field became a site in which geological, environmental, and political times were negotiated in novel ways. Rather than conceiving of deep-sea cores as containers of data, which provide unmediated access to the planetary past, the article shows how the cores were temporally fluid objects which, in the 1970s, were picked up in settings well beyond the ocean sciences. By following the evolution of the deep-sea core project Climate: Long range Investigation, Mapping, and Prediction (CLIMAP), which brought together deep-sea core research with climate modeling and economic and agricultural forecasting, the article argues that the ways in which deep-sea core data entered the field of climate modeling mirrored contemporary fears of overpopulation as well as dreams of abundant energy reserves hidden in the seabed. Even though the deep-sea core scientists spoke of their work as “exploration” or “discovery,” the history of CLIMAP reveals a much more temporally complex enterprise and highlights the instability of planetary and historical times in the postwar era. Drawing on recent developments in time studies as well as the history of the geosciences, the article shows how present theoretical deliberations on the temporalities of the planetary scale can be understood in light of a longer historical process of negotiating multiple temporalities in the geosciences. By considering the history of deep-sea core research in the 1970s as a history of temporal negotiation, the article calls for increased collaboration and engagement between time studies and the history of science.

Authors: Jani Mihir , Savani Chintan , Bhatia Harman Singh 
Published: February 2025

Koro syndrome is a culture-specific disorder occurring primarily in Southeast Asian regions, presenting as acute anxiety with fear of retraction of the external genitalia or its part, fear of death by the thought of complete disappearance of genitals. Most cases are reported in males, Koro syndrome in females is very rare. Case Presentation: A 25-year-old woman presented with complaints that the skin over the vagina is retracting inside her body and feeling that something will happen to her if it gets fully retracted for 9 months. She had multiple consultations with the gynecologist who found no anatomical abnormality on examination and referred the patient to a psychiatrist, where she was diagnosed with Koro syndrome and was started on psychotropic medication. Conclusion: Female with Koro syndrome is expressed mainly in an epidemic setting due to cultural and psycho-social factors such as cultural taboos that suppress the expression of atypical sexual symptoms, inadequate knowledge, and misconceptions.

Abstract

Background
Globally, alarmingly high rates of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity persist. A constellation of health system and social factors contribute to this, including poor quality and barriers to accessing health care, including preventive services. As such, there have been calls for a redesign of maternal and child health (MCH) services. Although group care has primarily been tested in antenatal settings, it offers a promising redesign that optimizes maternal and child health care, survival, and well-being. The purpose of this study was to produce a blueprint of an adapted group care model that integrates postnatal maternal care, well-child care, and family engagement to be adapted to realities of different settings.

Methods
Using a human-centered design approach and the Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications to Evidence-based interventions (FRAME), we employed qualitative methods to adapt CenteringParenting® (retaining its three core pillars of health assessment, interactive learning, and community building), and co-create the blueprint for group care beyond birth that can be used across settings. We initiated the process through face-to-face workshops during a global meeting on group care, followed by six online incubator sessions with key stakeholders from 13 countries during which we used qualitative methods of free listing, pile sorting, and ranking. We conducted a rapid qualitative analysis to produce a blueprint.

Results
Participants collaboratively modified the content, format, and evaluation of CenteringParenting® with the goal of creating a blueprint that integrates postnatal and pediatric care into group care that can be further adapted and implemented across diverse settings and contexts. The blueprint consists of suggested timing of visits over two years after birth, suggested visit content, and evaluation metrics for research and practice.

Conclusions
The resulting group care beyond birth blueprint offers a strategy to redesign maternal and infant/child health services that can positively transform postnatal care and provide essential services to postpartum people. Adaptation of the blueprint to local realities is expected. Future research is recommended to test the model’s acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness across settings. Using this blueprint, we can build the evidence base to support this model aiming to improve maternal and infant/child health outcomes.
Effects of Vibration-Reducible Cementitious Materials on the Acoustic and Structural Responses of Buildings Adjacent to Urban Railway Systems: A Numerical Approach
Authors: Wu Siyu , Pyo Sukhoon 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Some studies have developed different kinds of vibration-reducible construction materials. However, no existing study has applied these materials in a building to prove their effectiveness at a structural level. Besides, much of the related research has focused only on measuring sound pressure or vibration levels within buildings adjacent to railway systems. Although some studies have provided methods to predict the vibration of a building structure, they cannot determine the train-induced sound pressure level simultaneously. Therefore, this study used the finite element model to simulate an existing building structure to prove the effectiveness of this method. Based on the combination of the acoustic and solid interaction modules in the finite element analysis method, the vibration and sound levels of buildings based on different kinds of vibration-reducible cementitious materials were estimated using different models. The results show that vibration-reducible cementitious materials can reduce vibration velocity and sound pressure levels by up to 7.1 dB and 5.2 dB with an increased floor height, respectively. In addition, reduced vibration can decrease structure-borne noise by up to 2.9 dB. A further parametric study shows that cementitious materials with a relatively high elastic modulus, a high damping loss factor, and low density can be effective for vibration and sound reduction.

Authors: Alhadrami Hani A. , Sayed Ahmed M. , Hassan Hossam M. , Rateb Mostafa E. , Taher Marwa A. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Honey’s medical values have been extensively recorded in literature. Yemeni Sidr honey was reported to treat many ailments like stomach and respiratory disorders. ESKAPE and other multidrug-resistant pathogens are considered one of the top three risks to global public health, so alternative strategies become critical demand against such pathogens or their biofilms. The current study aimed to explore the antibacterial and antioxidant potential of the Yemeni Sidr honey extracts. The antibacterial activity of the two Yemeni Sidr honey extracts (ST and SM) was assessed against different pathogenic strains. The antioxidant activity was also evaluated using ORAC, ABST, 5-LOX, and DPPH. Furthermore, 2D HSQC data of both ST and SM honey extracts were collected uploaded to the SMART platform to identify the possible metabolites in these extracts. The identified metabolites were analyzed using docking and molecular dynamic simulations (MDS) to identify the key players in the antibacterial action.

Results
The antibacterial activity revealed that ST and SM extracts have similar activity against all tested pathogens. ST extract exhibited superior antibiofilm effect against P. aeruginosa and C. albicans by 68.2% and 62.6%, respectively, exceeding the reference standards. Moreover, ST extract displayed the highest antioxidant power against all assays except the DPPH assay. SMART dereplication of the HSQC data of ST extract revealed the annotations of five carbohydrates (fructose, glucose, mannose, maltose, and sucrose); while, SM extract showed three major phenolic compounds (chrysin, ellagic acid, and caffeic acid), in which chrysin and ellagic acid were likely the key players in the antibacterial action, based on MDS.

Conclusions
The study confirmed the effectiveness of Sidr honey against the tested multidrug-resistant pathogens. Additionally, our observations shed the light on the main secondary constituents in Yemini Sidr honey extracts, and their effective role in multidrug-resistant pathogens growth inhibition.

ABSTRACT

Purpose
Exercise is widely recognized for providing numerous benefits to prostate cancer (PCa) survivors. Numerous preclinical studies have investigated the role of exercise on tumor progression, but results are often controversial, largely due to variations in experimental protocols.

Methods
In this study, the comprehensive effects of exercise on PCa were evaluated with two different aerobic exercises, forced and structured Exercise Training on treadmill (ET), and Voluntary Wheel Running (VWR). Human PCa PPC-1 cells or PBS were injected into athymic nude mice, randomized into four groups: healthy, cancer control (CaCTL), cancer with exercise training (CaET), and cancer with voluntary wheel running (CaVWR).

Results
ET significantly reduced tumor growth (290.38 ± 75.43 mm3) compared to CaCTL mice (374.84 ± 86.15 mm3, p = 0.0227). ET also regulated plasma IL-6 concentration, protected against cancer-induced adipose tissue loss (CaCTL = 171.21 ± 86.73 mg; Ca ET = 341.71 ± 137.24 mg, p = 0.0295) and preserved strength (CaCTL = 126.53 ± 6.68 g; CaET = 137.32 ± 6.39 g, p = 0.0018). However, ET did not protect against cancer-induced muscle mass loss (CaCTL = 175.06 ± 18.07 mg; CaET = 181.41 ± 14.59 mg). In contrast, VWR did not provide similar benefits on the assessed cancer-related outcomes, aside from preserving muscle strength (CaCTL = 126.53 ± 6.68 g; CaVWR = 134.59 ± 7.01 g, p = 0.0204).

Conclusions
ET represented an effective strategy against PCa by limiting tumor growth, but also by mitigating inflammation and adipose tissue loss and preserving muscle strength, whereas VWR only provided limited benefits. The exercise parameters are emerging as a critical factor in combating PCa, warranting further investigation.

Authors: Alkhalifah Ahmed S. , Rumindo Kenny , Brincat Edgar , Blanchard Florian , Helleberg Johan , Clarke David , Popoff Benjamin , Duranteau Olivier , Mohamed Zubair Umer , Senosy Abdelrahman 
Published: February 2025

Background
Mechanical ventilation, a crucial intervention for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). This study focuses on individualizing mechanical power (MP) in mechanically ventilated patients to minimize VILI and reduce ICU mortality.

Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted using the Amsterdam University Medical Centers Database (AmsterdamUMCdb) data. The study included patients aged 18 and older who needed at least 48 hours of pressure-controlled mechanical ventilation. Patients who died or were extubated within 48 hours and those with inadequate data were excluded. Patients were categorized into hypoxemia groups based on their PaO2/FiO2 ratio. MP was calculated using a surrogate formula and normalized to ideal body weight (IBW). Statistical analyses and machine learning models, including logistic regression and random forest, were used to predict ICU mortality and establish safe upper limits for IBW-adjusted MP.

Results
Out of 23,106 admissions, 2,338 met the criteria. Nonsurvivors had a significantly higher time-weighted average MP (TWA-MP) than survivors. Safe upper limits for IBW-adjusted MP varied across hypoxemia groups. The XGBoost model showed the highest predictive accuracy for ICU mortality. An individualization method for mechanical ventilation settings, based on real-time physiological variables, demonstrated reduced predicted mortality in a subset of patients.

Discussion
Elevated TWA-MP is associated with increased ICU mortality, underscoring the need for personalized mechanical ventilation strategies. The study highlights the complexity of VILI and the multifactorial nature of ICU mortality. Further studies to define a safe upper limit for IBW-adjusted MP may help clinicians optimize mechanical ventilation settings and decrease the risk of VILI and mortality.

Conclusions
Despite the fact that the study’s retrospective design and reliance on a single-center database may limit the generalizability of findings, this study offers valuable insights into the relationship between mechanical power and ICU mortality, emphasizing the need for individualized mechanical ventilation strategies. The findings suggest a potential for more personalized, data-driven approach in managing mechanically ventilated patients, which could improve patient outcomes in critical care settings.

Authors: Hao Yaping , Yang Lei , Meng Xiaomei , Tang Yuxiao , Wang Liang 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this report was to identify effective indicators capable of predicting bacterial infection during the early stages of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and to establish a diagnostic model suitable for clinical application.

Methods
This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. Between February 2018 and May 2023, Yuhuangding Hospital admitted 101 DKA patients, of whom 45 were diagnosed with bacterial infections. A confirmed bacterial infection was defined as documented bacteriological evidence in any bacterial sample. Clinical parameters and biological markers (including cortisol, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, etc.) were recorded during the initial DKA phase. Multivariate regression analysis was employed to construct a diagnostic model.

Results
CRP (OR = 1.014, 95% CI: 1.002–1.026, p = 0.017) and cortisol (OR = 1.007, 95% CI: 1.002–1.012, p = 0.003) were found to have an independent association with bacterial infection in DKA patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for CRP in identifying bacterial infection was 0.855 (95% CI, 0.771–0.917), with a sensitivity of 76.1% and a specificity of 83.6%. The AUC for cortisol in identifying bacterial infection was 0.847 (95% CI, 0.761–0.911), with a sensitivity of 71.7% and a specificity of 89.1%. A joint diagnostic model based on cortisol and CRP was developed through multifactor regression analysis. The AUC of this diagnostic model was 0.930 (95% CI, 0.862–0.972), resulting in a sensitivity of 93.5% and a specificity of 80.0%.

Conclusion
CRP and cortisol are early indicators of bacterial infection in DKA patients. Furthermore, based on their combination, the regression diagnostic model exhibits enhanced diagnostic performance.

Authors: Njagi Purity , Groot Wim , Arsenijevic Jelena , Mburu Gitau , Chambers Georgina , Calhaz-Jorge Carlos , Kiarie James 
Published: February 2025

Background
Infertility affects one in six people globally, with similar prevalence rates across high-income and low- and middle-income countries. Technological advancements, particularly in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), have improved fertility treatment options. Although access to ART is presumed to be better in high-income countries (HICs), economic factors and eligibility restrictions could still impact effective utilization in these settings. Informed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocols (PRISMA-P), this protocol outlines the methodological and analytical approaches to examine the ART costs paid by patients in HICs and the correlation with economic indicators and ART regulatory frameworks.

Methods
Following the PRISMA approach, we will search for articles indexed in PubMed, EMBASE, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Latin American & Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS). Grey literature from relevant organizations’ virtual databases will also be searched. The review will encompass studies published between 2001 and 2024, with the primary outcome being ART direct medical and direct non-medical costs, while secondary outcomes shall include ART financing arrangements. The review will synthesize ART costs, adjusting them to USD Purchasing Power Parity for cross-country comparison, and correlate findings with GNI per capita and ART financing policies. The Integrated Quality Criteria for Review of Multiple Study Designs (ICROMS) tool will be utilized to evaluate the quality of the included studies. We will conduct a meta-analysis if the studies provide sufficient cost-effect size estimates.

Discussion
The review findings will contribute to our understanding of the potential financial burden faced by (disadvantaged) individuals in HICs due to ART costs. Additionally, the review shall highlight the implications that ART financing policies have in enhancing access and affordability, offering valuable insights for healthcare planning and policy formulation. The results will be disseminated through a peer-reviewed journal article and relevant international conferences.

Investigating the effects of embodiment on presence and perception in remote physician video consultations: a between-participants study comparing a tablet and a telepresence robot
Authors: Schulz Dominik , Unbehaun David , Doernbach Tobias 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Increasing life expectancy and low birth rates have led to a larger aging population requiring more care, especially in rural areas. Information and communications technology may enhance older adults’ quality of life and digital health services. Assistive robotic systems, especially telepresence robots, are increasingly used in healthcare. These robots represent a significantly higher embodiment level than tablets, as they can provide the remote person with an additional body. This work explores the effects of different embodiment levels in video consultation, focusing on Presence and Perception from a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective. For this purpose, between-participants experiments were conducted in which 18 participants assumed the role of the patient and engaged in a video consultation with a remote, medically experienced person acting as the physician. A shortened medical check-up simulated the real assessment. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected during and after the experiment focusing on presence and interaction. Results show no significant influence of embodiment level in a video consultation from a HCI perspective. However, a trend towards more natural communication with stronger embodiment was observed, suggesting it may positively influence interaction.
