AbstractAims and ObjectivesTo investigate the psychological distress, sexual satisfaction, and quality of life of gynaecological cancer survivors and their spouses during cancer survivorship.BackgroundThe survival rate of patients with cancer is increasing owing to advances in medical treatment technology. Spouses are the closest companions of gynaecological cancer survivors. Patients with gynaecological cancer and their spouses face different situations and challenges after experiencing cancer invasion.DesignQuestionnaire‐based cross‐sectional study.MethodsConvenience sampling was employed, and 180 participants, including patients with gynaecological cancer and their spouses, were enrolled. A structured questionnaire was used to investigate the psychological distress, sexual satisfaction, and quality of life of gynaecological cancer survivors and their spouses during acute, extended, and permanent survivorship. The STROBE checklist guided the study preparation.ResultsFor gynaecological cancer survivors and their spouses, (1) severe psychological distress was present during acute survivorship, with anxiety extending until permanent survivorship; (2) no significant differences were observed in pre‐ and post‐treatment sexual satisfaction, although pre‐treatment sexual satisfaction was higher than post‐treatment sexual satisfaction in all three cancer survivorship stages and (3) quality of life decreased during acute survivorship and gradually improved with time.ConclusionsPsychological distress, sexual satisfaction and quality of life of gynaecological cancer survivors and their spouses worsened during acute survivorship and improved over time until permanent survivorship.Relevance to Clinical PracticeGynaecological cancer survivors and their spouses experience anxiety and depression from diagnosis confirmation until permanent survivorship (>5 years survival). Therefore, clinical nurses' sensitivity to emotional distress in cancer survivors and their spouses can be improved and a consistent and routine evaluation method has been established for the early detection of such emotional distress. The results of this study can provide a reference for clinical healthcare professionals and contribute to a better quality of care.

AbstractBackgroundMandibular range of motion (MROM) variables are widely used to evaluate oral function.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to establish the reliability of MROM variables in healthy children.MethodsIn this cross‐sectional study, healthy children were examined 2 weeks apart. The following MROM variables were established: active maximum interincisal opening (AMIO), passive maximum interincisal opening (PMIO), protrusion and left and right laterotrusion. The reliability of the MROM measurements was determined by analysing the intra‐class correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), smallest detectable change (SDC) and limits of agreement (LoA).ResultsA total of 167 healthy children were examined. The ICC indicated good reliability for AMIO (0.885); excellent reliability for PMIO (0.925); and moderate reliability for protrusion (0.578), laterotrusion left (0.601) and laterotrusion right (0.634). The SDC was 0.9 mm for AMIO, 0.4 mm for PMIO, 2.2 mm for protrusion, 1.6 mm for laterotrusion left and 1.4 mm for laterotrusion right. The LoA was −5.67 to 5.82 for AMIO, −3.90 to 3.57 for PMIO, −3.89 to 3.55 for protrusion, −2.99 to 2.77 for laterotrusion left, and − 2.71 to 2.77 for laterotrusion right.ConclusionsAMIO and PMIO measurements are both highly reliable in healthy children. The low SDC indicate that AMIO and PMIO are promising longitudinal measurements. Protrusion and laterotrusion measurements had moderate reliability. These results support our clinical recommendation to measure AMIO rather than PMIO, as PMIO is more difficult and more time‐consuming to perform than AMIO.

AbstractBackgroundIt can be challenging to perform activities of daily living in patients with chronic neck pain. As the severity of the pain increases, the quality of the movements decreases. Not only the neck, but also the shoulder, elbow, grip strength and psychomotor skills are affected by these pains.ObjectiveIn this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of neck pain on grip strength and psychomotor skills in adults diagnosed with chronic neck pain.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted to examine the effect of pain on grip strength and psychomotor skills in patients with chronic neck pain. This study was planned to be carried out between October 2019 and May 2020 at the Private Yaşam Medical Center in Adana, with the official permission of the institution manager, but this period was carried out between October 2019 and November 2020 due to the fact that sufficient number of patients could not be reached due to the COVID‐19 global epidemic. A total of 80 individuals, including 40 control and 40 patients, were included in the study. Forty adult patients who applied to the clinic with a diagnosis of chronic neck pain and 40 healthy adults without a diagnosis of chronic neck pain were included in the study. Conducted with 80 adults between the age of 19 and 74 years old. Individuals were divided into Group 1—control group (n = 40) and Group 2—patient group (n = 40). Information such as age, height, body weight and occupation of the groups were noted. Visual analogue scale and Neck Disability Index were applied to both the groups; hand grip strength with a Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer, finger lateral grip strength with a pinchmeter and psychomotor skills with the Purdue Pegboard test were evaluated.ResultsIn the study, hand grip strength (p < .05), finger lateral grip strength (p < .05), psychomotor skills (p < .01) showed a statistically significant decrease in the patient group compared to the control group.ConclusionIt is thought that in addition to the routine treatments for neck pain in the treatment plan of patients with chronic neck pain, exercises to improve the functionality and psychomotor skills in daily living activities can be included in the direction of increasing the grip strength and will guide future studies.

AbstractPeople may experience anxiety regarding their future romantic relationship status. Fear of being single (FOBS) is a potential cause of this anxiety, characterized by distress about the idea of being single and assessed through the FOBS Scale. In the current study, the FOBS Scale was adapted into Turkish. The study included 349 individuals aged 28–55 years (M = 23.63 years, SD = 6.45 years). The reliability and validity of the measure and the associations with particular variables were investigated for the first time in the cultural context of Turkey. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed an acceptable model fit for the single‐factor structure. Measurement invariance of the scale across relationship status was supported at configural and metric levels, but not at the scalar level. The convergent and divergent validity analyses indicated that FOBS is distinct from generalized anxiety, attachment anxiety, and the personality trait of neuroticism. FOBS was found to be related to the need to belong but not to the inclusion of close others into the self. It has been determined that FOBS is a distinctive phenomenon, and the Turkish version of the FOBS Scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing FOBS in Turkey.

SummarySleep problems are associated with increased risk of obesity. Multiple mechanisms have been identified to support this relationship, including changes in sensory processing and food choice. Taste researchers have recently begun to explore whether changes in taste occur as a result of short‐term or long‐term sleep habits. A systematic review was conducted to investigate these relationships. A total of 13 studies were included in the review. Heterogeneity in both the sleep and taste measurements used was noted, and most studies failed to assess sour, bitter and umami tastes. Still, the available evidence suggests that sweet taste hedonic perception appears to be undesirably influenced by short sleep when viewed through the lens of health. That is, preferred sweetness concentration increases as sleep duration decreases. Habitual sleep and interventions curtailing sleep had minimal associations or effects on sweet taste sensitivity. Salt taste sensitivity and hedonic responses appear to be relatively unaffected by insufficient sleep, but more work is needed. Solid evidence on other taste qualities is not available at the present time.
What we miss when we overlook the gendered aspects of nationalist mobilisation
Authors: Miller‐Idriss Cynthia 
Published: June 2024

AbstractSchertzer and Woods have written a timely, rigorous, and thoughtful examination of the rise of ethnic nationalism in the West. The book adeptly anchors the political mobilization of white majorities in the defensive postures that define them while simultaneously explaining the broader historical and cultural contexts that are so often missing from contemporary analyses. This critical analysis fell short, however, in its relative lack of engagement on issues related to gender and the gendered mobilization of nationalist and extremist backlash, including violence. But aside from brief mentions of the case of the 2016 U.S. election and the femonationalism of Marine Le Pen and others like her, the arguments put forth in the book suffer from an inattention to gendered dimensions in ways that hollow out the explanatory power of their claims by leaving out some of the most persuasive evidence about the role that gender, hostile sexism, and misogyny play in mobilizing support for violent extremism, political violence, nationalist movements, and other forms of xenophobic and exclusionary ideas. In this book debate essay, I briefly lay out what I think was missed and why it matters.

ObjectiveThe orthopedic surgical treatment strategies for patients with tumor‐induced osteomalacia (TIO) require improvement, especially for patients where the causative tumors are located in surgically challenging areas, requiring a greater degree of in‐depth investigation. This work aims to summarize and investigate clinical features and orthopedic surgical treatment effects of patients with tumor‐induced osteomalacia (TIO), whose causative tumors are located in the hip bones.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of all patients diagnosed with culprit tumors located in the hip bones who underwent surgical treatment at the orthopedic bone and soft tissue tumor sub‐professional group of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2013 to January 2023. This retrospective study summarized the clinical data, preoperative laboratory test results, imaging findings, surgery‐related data, perioperative changes in blood phosphorus levels, and postoperative follow‐up data of all patients who met the inclusion criteria. Normally distributed data are presented as mean and standard deviation, while non‐normally distributed data are shown as the means and 25th and 75th interquartile ranges.ResultsThe clinical diagnostic criteria for TIO were met by all 16 patients, as confirmed by pathology after surgery. Among the 16 patients, we obtained varying degrees of bone pain and limited mobility (16/16), often accompanied by difficulties in sitting up, walking, and fatigue. An estimated 62.5% (10/16) of patients had significantly shorter heights during the disease stages. All 16 patients underwent surgical treatment for tumors in the hip bones, totaling 21 surgeries. In the pathogenic tumor, there were 16 cases of skeletal involvement and none of pure soft tissue involvement. Out of the 16 patients, 13 cases had a gradual increase in blood phosphorus levels following the latest orthopedic surgery, which was followed up for 12 months to 10 years. Due to unresolved conditions after the original surgery, four patients received reoperation intervention. Two cases of refractory TIO did not improve in their disease course.ConclusionIn summary, the location of the causative tumor in the hip bone is hidden and diverse, and there is no defined orthopedic surgical intervention method for this case in clinical practice. For patients with TIO where the tumors are located in the hip bones, surgical treatment is difficult and the risk of postoperative recurrence is high. Careful identification of the tumor edge using precise preoperative positioning and qualitative diagnosis is crucial to ensure adequate boundaries for surgical resection to reduce the likelihood of disease recurrence and improve prognosis.
Cercospora leaf blight and purple seed stain of soybean: A permanent challenge
Authors: Sautua Francisco José , Pizá María Cecilia Perez , Scandiani Maria Mercedes , Carmona Marcelo Anibal 
Published: June 2024

AbstractCercospora leaf blight (CLB) and purple seed stain (PSS) are major diseases of soybean responsible for significant yield loss. These diseases are caused by Cercospora species, such as C. kikuchii and C. cf. flagellaris, among the main species. These pathogens overwinter in infested debris and infected seed. Due to the combination of no‐till farming, monoculture in large soybean cultivation areas and climate changes, these diseases have become serious and prevalent. At present, in addition to the practice of monoculture soybean cultivation, there is a lack of soybean varieties with genetic resistance to these diseases. As a result, the application of fungicides becomes an essential tool for effectively managing this pathosystem. However, in the main soybean‐producing countries, resistance to quinone outside inhibitors and benzimidazole fungicides has already been studied and documented. Furthermore, Cercospora spp. are believed to be naturally insensitive to succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors. Consequently, there is a growing interest in innovative and integrated tools for managing crop diseases. These new approaches include the use of biofungicides, biostimulants and plant defence inducers. Research testing new management tools in a complementary and integrated approach involves a short‐term challenge to improve CLB/PSS management in the field. This review provides comprehensive details on the taxonomy, identification and genetic diversity of the pathogen, its disease symptoms and host range. Additionally, it outlines epidemiological aspects, fungicide resistance and the latest advancements in tools and technologies, aiming to guide future research and strategies to address the escalating threat to soybean crops globally.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundGonarthrosis is a chronic degenerative joint disease characterised by prolonged pain, affecting ~10% of men and 18% of women aged 60 and older worldwide. Surgical interventions are commonly employed in patients with gonarthrosis to minimise disability, alleviate pain, and improve overall quality of life. However, surgical treatment remains a feared experience. This study was conducted to identify the levels of spiritual well‐being and surgical anxiety in elderly patients diagnosed with gonarthrosis who are scheduled for surgical intervention. The aim was to examine the relationship between these factors and identify influencing elements.MethodsThis descriptive and correlational study was conducted between September 2022 and June 2023 in the orthopaedics and traumatology service of a state hospital, involving 105 patients aged 65 and above with gonarthrosis and admitted for treatment. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Surgical Fear Questionnaire, and Three‐Factor Spiritual Well‐being Scale. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistical tests, Mann–Whitney U‐test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and Spearman correlation analysis.ResultsThe short‐term surgical fear of patients was 11.69 ± 7.55, the long‐term surgical fear was 10.70 ± 9.53, and the total surgical fear was 22.40 ± 14.69 points, indicating a low level. Single and inexperienced elderly patients had higher levels of surgical fear (P < 0.05). The spiritual well‐being levels of elderly patients (transcendence, 59.65 ± 12.20; harmony with nature, 29.10 ± 4.65; anomy, 26.34 ± 5.28; total score, 115.10 ± 17.83) were high. The spiritual well‐being levels of elderly individuals whose income matched their expenses were higher (P < 0.05). There was a statistically significant negative relationship between the level of anomy in elderly patients with gonarthrosis and surgical fear (P < 0.05).ConclusionsIn elderly patients with planned surgical interventions for gonarthrosis. It was determined that the levels of surgical fear were low, and the levels of spiritual well‐being were high. The study identified that the level of anomy had an impact on surgical fear. It is recommended that healthcare professionals be aware of the influence of spiritual well‐being on surgical fear and provide spiritual support to elderly patients.

How the other half works: Claudia Goldin's contributions to our understanding of women's labour market outcomes
Authors: Sarsons Heather 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2023 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Claudia Goldin “for having advanced our understanding of women's labour market outcomes”. This paper surveys Goldin's contributions, analysing women's labour force participation from the late 1700s through to the present. To document women's participation in the workforce, Goldin uncovered rich data from varied sources, from government reports and city directories to health surveys and university registration cards. She combined these data with economic theory to identify the factors affecting women's employment and to explore how we might achieve gender equity today. Her work has had an immense influence on how we understand the labour market, household decision‐making, and gender inequality.
Characterising sex‐related differences in lower‐ and higher‐threshold motor unit behaviour through high‐density surface electromyography

Published: June 2024

AbstractEmerging questions in neuromuscular physiology revolve around whether males and females share similar neural control in diverse tasks across a broad range of intensities. In order to explore these features, high‐density electromyography was used to record the myoelectrical activity of biceps brachii during trapezoidal isometric contractions at 35% and 70% of maximal voluntary force (MVF) on 11 male and 13 female participants. Identified motor units were then classified as lower‐threshold (recruited at ≤30%MVF) and higher‐threshold (recruited at >30%MVF). The discharge rate, interspike interval variability, recruitment and derecruitment thresholds, and estimates of neural drive to motor neurons were assessed. Female lower‐threshold motor units showed higher neural drive (P < 0.001), accompanied by higher discharge rate at recruitment (P = 0.006), plateau (P = 0.001) and derecruitment (P = 0.001). On the other hand, male higher‐threshold motor units showed greater neural drive (P = 0.04), accompanied by higher discharge rate at recruitment (P = 0.005), plateau (P = 0.04) and derecruitment (P = 0.01). Motor unit discharge rate normalised by the recruitment threshold was significantly higher in female lower‐threshold motor units (P < 0.001), while no differences were observed in higher‐threshold motor units. Recruitment and derecruitment thresholds are higher in males across all intensities (P < 0.01). However, males and females have similar activation and deactivation strategies, as evidenced by similar recruitment‐to‐derecruitment ratios (P > 0.05). This study encompasses a broad intensity range to analyse motor unit sex‐related differences, highlighting higher neural drive and discharge rates in female lower‐threshold motor units, elevated recruitment and derecruitment thresholds in males, and convergences in activation and deactivation strategies.Highlights
What is the central question of the study?Do male and female motor units behave similarly in low‐ and high‐intensity contractions?
What is the main finding and its importance?Female motor units show higher discharge rates in low‐intensity tasks and lower discharge rates in high‐intensity tasks, with no differences in recruitment behaviour. A broader inter‐spike interval variability was also observed in females. These findings underline that there are sex‐specific differences concern the firing strategies based on task intensity.
Modeling of Double-Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing Under Combined Loads and Angular Misalignment

Published: June 2024

Abstract
To enhance the reliability of the double-row cylindrical roller bearing (DCRB), a new quasi-static model, which is capable of considering inner ring misalignment and combined loads, has been established. This model was used to calculate the distribution of internal loads and contact pressure. First, the model was verified with published data. Second, systematic parameter analyses were conducted to investigate how axial load, inner ring misalignment, and roller profile influence contact performance. The results indicate that when the bearing is subjected to a combined load, the difference between the radial loads borne by the two rows increases with the increase of axial load. The combined load and misalignment of the inner ring would cause significant changes in the numerical value and distribution of contact load and pressure between the rollers and raceways. The roller profile optimization can reduce contact pressure and alleviate the edge effect.
