Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the behavior and treatment outcomes of uterine carcinosarcomas in relation to their clinical and pathogenic features and to determine the optimal treatment strategy. Secondary objectives were to identify parameters predictive of survival. Materials and Methods: The hospital records of all 25 patients of uterine carcinosarcoma operated between 2000 and 2008 in Gujarat cancer research institute, Ahmedabad, were reviewed. Patients who presented with clinical evidence of recurrent disease or those who had incomplete medical records were excluded from our analysis. The status of these patients was updated up to November, 2010. Patients were classified according to the new 2009 FIGO staging system for endometrial carcinoma, to see what difference the assigned stage has on survival with the old treatment strategy. Survival was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by Log-Rank test. Median survival time was derived with the Brookmeyer 95% confidence interval. For comparison of qualitative data, Chi-Square test and Fisher extract c2 were used. Results: Median age of patients was 56 years (range, 36-77 years). Only 36% of patients had stage I at diagnosis and another 36% were stage III. Most of the tumors (56%) were with homologous sarcomatous components and 64% of tumors were high grade (grade 2/3) at diagnosis. Fifty-two percent patients received postoperative adjuvant treatment. Twelve patients had no postoperative treatment: two were lost to follow-up immediately after surgery, four could not receive adjuvant treatment on account of severe medical complications and age factor which could have increased morbidity, and six patients declined treatment. Four of these patients expired within one year of diagnosis, two other within 18 months, and rest were lost to follow-up. The difference in survival of 13 patients who had taken adjuvant treatment was significantly more than the group who had not taken adjuvant therapy (P=0.025). The overall 3-year disease-free survival of 13 patients who had taken adjuvant therapy was 40%. However, these adjuvant treatment modalities had borderline statistical significance on overall survival of patients (P=0.075). The only statistically significant predictor of survival in this study was stage of the disease (P=0.035). Conclusions: This highly aggressive uterine malignancy warrants comprehensive surgical staging to assess tumor dissemination followed by systematic adjuvant therapy in patients with both early and advanced disease. The value of pelvic Radiotherapy in addition to systemic treatment remains ill-defined. Stage is the significant predictor of survival for the disease. Our results indicate that in this highly aggressive malignancy, further exploration of potential outcome benefits of postoperative treatment, especially chemoradiation, is warranted in larger group of patients after comprehensive surgical staging.

AbstractThe association of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and myeloproliferative and lymphoproliferative malignancies is widely reported. There is scarce information available with regards to the association of SLE and malignancy in children. Usually, SLE precedes the onset of lymphoproliferative disease, but the neoplasia can occur earlier or even simultaneously. There are only five pediatric cases of SLE and associated acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) reported in literature. All of these except one satisfied the revised American College of Rheumatology Criteria for SLE. Three of these cases developed SLE several years after successful treatment of ALL. While two cases reported had simultaneous onset of SLE and ALL, one of the cases in this two-patient series, did not fulfill ≥4 criteria for diagnosis of SLE. We present a case of a 3-year-old boy with SLE and coexistent ALL. To the best of our knowledge, only two such cases of simultaneous presentation of both these diseases are present in literature.

Nocturnal Emissions: A Failure to Replicate
Authors: Widaman Keith F. , Helm Jonathan L. 
Published: February 2012

Abstract
A time series of nocturnal emissions was presented in The American Journal of Psychology in 1904. The anonymous author of this remarkable article provided the time series to support his contention that his nocturnal emissions exhibited a seasonal pattern of variation. Specifically, he claimed to have heightened emissions during spring and summer, with dampened emissions later. The basis for this claim was a time series graph of average emissions by month across an 8-year period. The purpose of this article is to reanalyze these data with statistical procedures developed in the past century to validate the original conclusion drawn by the author. After analyses of the data with several state-of-the-art methods, no statistical support was found for a seasonal pattern of nocturnal emissions.
Affective Orientation Influences Memory for Emotional and Neutral Words
Authors: Greenberg Seth N. , Tokarev Julian , Estes Zachary 
Published: February 2012

Abstract
Memory is better for emotional words than for neutral words, but the conditions contributing to emotional memory improvement are not entirely understood. Elsewhere, it has been observed that retrieval of a word is easier when its attributes are congruent with a property assessed during an earlier judgment task. The present study examined whether affective assessment of a word matters to its remembrance. Two experiments were run, one in which only valence assessment was performed, and another in which valence assessment was combined with a running recognition for list words. In both experiments, some participants judged whether each word in a randomized list was negative (negative monitoring), and others judged whether each was positive (positive monitoring). We then tested their explicit memory for the words via both free recall and delayed recognition. Both experiments revealed an affective congruence effect, such that negative words were more likely to be recalled and recognized after negative monitoring, whereas positive words likewise benefited from positive monitoring. Memory for neutral words was better after negative monitoring than positive monitoring. Thus, memory for both emotional and neutral words is contingent on one’s affective orientation during encoding.
Enriching Nano‐Heterointerfaces in Proton Conducting TiO2‐SrTiO3@TiO2 Yolk–Shell Electrolyte for Low‐Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Published: June 2024

AbstractA challenging task in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is seeking for an alternative electrolyte, enabling high ionic conduction at relatively low operating temperatures, i.e., 300–600 °C. Proton‐conducting candidates, in particular, hold a significant promise due to their low transport activation energy to deliver protons. Here, a unique hierarchical TiO2‐SrTiO3@TiO2 structure is developed inside an intercalated TiO2‐SrTiO3 core as “yolk” decorating densely packed flake TiO2 as shell, creating plentiful nano‐heterointerfaces with a continuous TiO2 and SrTiO3 “in‐house” interfaces, as well the interfaces between TiO2‐SrTiO3 yolk and TiO2 shell. It exhibits a reduced activation energy, down to 0.225 eV, and an unexpectedly high proton conductivity at low temperature, e.g., 0.084 S cm−1 at 550 °C, confirmed by experimentally H/D isotope method and proton‐filtrating membrane measurement. Raman mapping technique identifies the presence of hydrogenated HO─Sr bonds, providing further evidence for proton conduction. And its interfacial conduction is comparatively analyzed with a directly‐mixing TiO2‐SrTiO3 composite electrolyte. Consequently, a single fuel cell based on the TiO2‐SrTiO3@TiO2 heterogeneous electrolyte delivers a good peak power density of 799.7 mW cm−2 at 550 °C. These findings highlight a dexterous nano‐heterointerface design strategy of highly proton‐conductive electrolytes at reduced operating temperatures for SOFC technology.

SummaryThe issue of fault diagnosis in power equipment is receiving increasing attention from scholars. Due to the important role played by bearings in power equipment, bearing faults have become the main factor causing the shutdown of wind turbines units. Therefore, this paper takes bearing equipment as an example for research. In order to solve the problem of insufficient and unbalanced fault sample data of wind turbines bearings, a fault diagnosis (FD) method based on variational autoencoder and semi‐supervised learning is proposed in this paper. Firstly, based on Label Propagation‐random forests (LP‐RFs) and a small number of labeled fault samples, a semi‐supervised learning algorithm is proposed to label the original data samples. Secondly, a small number of training samples are preprocessed by the variational autoencoder to reduce the imbalance of the fault samples. Then, the RFs‐based method is adopted to train the processed fault samples to obtain a mature FD classifier. Finally, the proposed method is applied to FD for bearings, and the results show that the proposed method can realize bearings fault diagnosis (BFD). And meanwhile, the proposed method can also be applied for fault diagnosis in power transmission and transformation systems.

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe mammalian cytoplasmic protein SIRT2, a class III histone deacetylase family member, possesses NAD+‐dependent lysine deacetylase/deacylase activity. Dysregulation of SIRT2 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including neurological and metabolic disorders and cancer; thus, SIRT2 emerges as a potential therapeutic target. Herein, we identified a series of diaryl acetamides (ST61‐ST90) by the structural optimization of our hit STH2, followed by enhanced SIRT2 inhibitory potency and selectivity. Among them, ST72, ST85, and ST88 selectively inhibited SIRT2 with IC50 values of 9.97, 5.74, and 8.92 μM, respectively. Finally, the entire study was accompanied by in silico prediction of binding modes of docked compounds and the stability of SIRT2‐ligand complexes. We hope our findings will provide substantial information for designing selective inhibitors of SIRT2.
Exploring biologically oriented precision mental health initiatives for the care of patients with eating disorders: A narrative review
Authors: Norris Mark L. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractObjectiveEating disorders (EDs) represent a major public health burden. Increasingly, studies suggest mental health (MH) fields are failing to improve the effectiveness of treatments and that alternative models of care must be considered. Precision mental health (PMH) seeks to tailor treatment to individual needs and relies on a comprehensive understanding of the neurobiological and physiological underpinnings of mental illness.MethodsIn this narrative review, published literature with focus on biological application of PMH strategies for EDs is reviewed and summarised.ResultsA total of 39 articles were retained for the review covering a variety of themes with relevance to PMH. Many studies of biological markers with PMH applicability focused on anorexia nervosa. Although a variety of potential PMH research applications were identified, the review failed to identify any evidence of implementation into routine ED practice.ConclusionsDespite the theoretical merit of biological application of PMH in ED treatment, clinical applications for standard practice are lacking. There is a need to invest further in studies that seek to identify biological markers and investigate neurobiological underpinnings of disease in hopes of targeting and developing treatments that can be better tailored to the individualised needs of patients.
Adverse childhood experiences and self‐esteem among adolescents: The role of social capital and gender
Authors: Yan Yuqi , Zhang Jingyue , Lu Nan 
Published: June 2024

AbstractIntroductionAdverse childhood experiences have long‐lasting effects on the self‐esteem of adolescents. However, the extrinsic mechanism linking them to self‐esteem, which is more modifiable, has rarely been examined. Therefore, this study examined the mediating roles of family, school, and peer social capital and the moderating role of gender in the association between adverse childhood experiences and adolescent self‐esteem.MethodsThis study involved a cross‐sectional survey of first‐ and second‐grade students in the only high school in Wusu, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. Data were collected in May 2023. A sample of 2539 students (M = 16.84 years old; 55.65% female) was included. The measurement models of family, school, and peer social capital were constructed using confirmatory factor analysis. The mediating roles of the three types of social capital and the moderating role of gender were examined using mediation analysis and multiple‐group analysis, respectively.ResultsFamily, school, and peer social capital significantly mediated the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and adolescent self‐esteem, and family social capital played the strongest role. Gender significantly moderated the direct effect of adverse childhood experiences on self‐esteem. The direct effect was significant only among girls.ConclusionsThis study underscores the protective role of social capital for self‐esteem among adolescents in Northwestern China and similar areas with relatively limited social services. Comprehensive interventions promoting social capital, especially family social capital, should be conducted to enhance self‐esteem among adolescents.

Abstract
We present numerical solutions in a one-dimensional setting of quantum master equations that have been recently derived. We focus on the dynamics of a single heavy quark-antiquark pair in a Quark-Gluon Plasma in thermal equilibrium, in the so-called quantum Brownian regime where the temperature of the plasma is large in comparison with the spacing between the energy levels of the $$ Q\overline{Q} $$

system. The one-dimensional potential used in the calculations has been adjusted so as to produce numbers that are relevant for the phenomenology of the charmonium. The equations are solved using different initial states and medium configurations. Various temperature regimes are studied and the effects of screening and collisions thoroughly analyzed. Technical features of the equations are analyzed. The contributions of the different operators that control the evolution are discussed as a function of the temperature. Some phenomenological consequences are addressed.
Mesh-based topology, shape and sizing optimization of ribbed plates
Authors: Amir Oded , Majdouba Ahmad 
Published: June 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we present a new parameterization and optimization procedure for minimizing the weight of ribbed plates. The primary goal is to reduce embodied CO2 in concrete floors as part of the effort to diminish the carbon footprint of the construction industry. A coupled plate-beam finite element model and its computational mesh enable simultaneous topology, shape and sizing optimization of ribbed plate systems. Using analytical sensitivity analysis and gradient-based optimization, we achieve significant weight reductions in the range of 24–57%, in comparison to reference designs with regular ribbing patterns. The results strengthen the argument in favor of ribbed plates as a structural system that can serve the environmental goals of the construction industry. While our focus is on ribbed concrete plates in buildings, the proposed mesh-based design parameterization is applicable in the general case of optimizing stiffened shells—with potential contributions also to automotive and aerospace applications.

Abstract
Camouflage represents an important component of self-protection when animals cannot easily evade predators and is often altered by behavioural responses to a predation threat. The cryptic plumage of many precocial chicks inspired early theoretical work on camouflage mechanisms, but so far, limited efforts have gone towards empirically testing the crypsis of chick plumage properties in their natural environment. We studied background matching and hiding behaviour in precocial snowy plovers Charadrius nivosus in Bahia de Ceuta, Northwest Mexico. This ground-nesting wader breeds in sparsely vegetated open habitats such as salt flats and sandy beaches. The open habitats provide a challenge for young chicks to evade predator detection. Examining background matching of wild chicks for luminance, pattern and colouration at their hiding spots, we found that chicks matched the luminance of their chosen spot better than at unchosen nearby spots. Pattern and colouration matching were age-related, with the plumage of older chicks matching their hiding spots better than those of recently hatched chicks. This suggests that with increasing mobility, chicks may be better able to find hiding places that optimise camouflage. Finally, we found that chicks were more likely to hide in soil cracks than expected by chance, suggesting that chicks chose these soil features in a barren landscape as preferred hideouts. We conclude that the cryptic plumage is an understudied but essential part of the anti-predator repertoire of precocial chicks. The plumage most likely works hand-in-hand with the anti-predator behaviours of chicks and their parents to increase survival chances of precocial young.

Significance statement
Many chicks rely on effective camouflage to evade predators and survive until fledging. We studied how plumage characteristics and behavioural choices enable snowy plover chicks to hide effectively from approaching predators in an open landscape. These chicks leave their nest scrapes shortly after hatching, relying on their cryptic plumage for several weeks to evade predator detection. We found that chicks chose hiding spots where their plumage had a higher match in luminance and, for older chicks, a higher match in pattern and colouration than at adjacent spots. When available, chicks chose to hide in small cracks that appeared in the soil from the evaporation of moisture. This study represents the first quantitative characterisation of cryptic chick plumage features in a natural population. Our results demonstrate that plumage and behavioural responses jointly contribute to the effective camouflage of small chicks.

Abstract
Background
There are limited real-world data in Switzerland examining the impact of erenumab, a fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, on migraine-related quality of life.

Objective
This 18-month interim analysis of 172 patients with episodic or chronic migraine from the SQUARE study provides first prospective insights on the impact of mandatory erenumab treatment interruption, following Swiss-reimbursement requirements, in a real-world clinical setting in Switzerland.

Findings
Recruited patients receiving 70 or 140 mg erenumab underwent treatment interruption on average 11.2 months after therapy onset with a mean duration of 4 months. There were sustained improvements in mean monthly migraine days (MMD) and migraine disability (mMIDAS) during initial treatment with erenumab. Treatment interruption was associated with a temporary worsening of condition. Symptoms ameliorated upon therapy reuptake reaching improvements similar to pre-break within 3 months.

Conclusions
Treatment interruption was associated with a temporary worsening of condition, which improved again after therapy restart.
