AbstractEarly infant development is a maturation process critically depends on the infant's interaction with primary caregivers. Hence, neonatal units prioritize their proximity. In COVID‐19, parental visitation hours were limited, reducing caregivers time with their infants. This follow‐up study analyzes and compares levels of maternal depression and stress, infant development, and bonding quality in preterm mother‐infant dyads hospitalized, before and during the pandemic. Out of 66 dyads participated, 36 were admitted before COVID‐19, and 30 during COVID‐19. The assessed was two video‐call sessions in which mothers completed selected questionnaires. No significant differences between mothers' levels of depression and stress. However, low birth weight was associated with greater difficulties in children's communication and interpersonal relationships. Furthermore, infants hospitalized in COVID‐19 had a higher risk of experiencing delayed communication. No significant differences were observed in bonding quality. Lower infant gestational age and longer breastfeeding time were associated with better bonding quality in both groups. Psychosocial intervention is considered a valuable tool, capable of preventing maternal mental health difficulties and protecting bonding in premature infants and in highly complex healthcare settings. Nevertheless, it is essential to more actively address the socio‐affective needs of newborns during their hospital stay to promote adequate development.

AbstractMother‐infant bonding is influenced by several risk and protective factors, and the literature has investigated the relationships between these factors independently. This study aimed to verify the interrelationships of some of these factors and how they influence mother‐infant bonding in Brazil. In this study, 361 mothers participated, and the outcome variable of mother‐infant bonding was assessed using the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ). Multivariate regression analysis was performed using a hierarchical model with three blocks structured according to the influence exerted on mother‐infant bonding. The PBQ's factor scores were estimated and used in the subsequent analyses to decrease measurement error. The variable “violence experienced by mothers” was statistically significant for explaining the second block model but not significant for the third block. Network analysis was performed after multiple regression, showing that the violence experienced by mothers does not directly influence mother‐infant bonding but rather is mediated by postpartum depression. This explains why violence is not significant in the hierarchical multiple regression when maternal depression is added to the model. This study's strengths lie in its utilization of PBQ factor scores and network analysis, enabling the estimation of conditional relationships among variables. This approach provides deeper insights into factors affecting mother‐infant bonding.

AbstractIntroductionAn assortment of alerts has been employed to influence provider order entry, yet many medication orders still require dose adjustment by pharmacists upon order verification.ObjectivesThe primary goals of this study were to evaluate the impact of adding rule‐based decision support to the computerized provider order entry system on the need for medication dose adjustment by a pharmacist and the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) among patients.MethodsThis was a retrospective, pre‐ and post‐implementation observational study on the integration of rule‐based logic into the computerized provider order entry system to automatically select default doses and frequencies for weight‐based or renally‐cleared medications in alignment with health system guidelines. The primary end points were the proportion of medication orders that required pharmacist intervention for dose adjustment and the number of times the AKI pop‐up alert was triggered.ResultsAfter inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to all available orders, there were 47 393 and 45 767 orders included for final analysis in the pre‐ and post‐implementation periods, respectively. The post‐implementation period showed a significant reduction in pharmacist dosing interventions, with a relative risk of 0.42 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.40–0.43; p < 0.0001) and a reduction in AKI (relative risk = 0.58 [95% CI: 0.53–0.64; p < 0.0001]).ConclusionThis study demonstrates the potential of rule‐based decision support to improve initial medication dose selection, reduce the occurrence of AKI, and reduce pharmacist workload, all without increasing alert fatigue.

AbstractMagnetic solid phase adsorption separation (MSPA) technology is an efficient and convenient separation method, which can simplify the separation step and shorten the separation time. It has wide application value in the purification of antibiotic pollutants in water. In this study, a novel magnetic biochar adsorbent (DES1@MnFe2O4‐BBC) with strong selectivity and high adsorption capacity was synthesized. It was composed of banana peel as the biochar source, Mn/Fe bimetallic oxide as the magnetic source and deep eutectic solvent (DES) as the functional monomer. The physicochemical properties of DES1@MnFe2O4‐BBC were systematically characterized by nitrogen adsorption–desorption, synchronous thermal analyzer, vibrating sample magnetometer, X‐ray diffractometer, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and field emission electron microscopy. The adsorption conditions were optimized by the single‐factor optimization method. Also, under the optimal adsorption conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity of DES1@MnFe2O4‐BBC for ceftiofur sodium was 75.01 mg·g−1. The test of adsorption thermodynamics and kinetics illustrated that the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model and pseudo‐second‐order kinetic equation were suitable well with the adsorption system established in this article. Adsorbent regeneration cycle experiment revealed that the DES1@MnFe2O4‐BBC was an efficient and reusable adsorbent. In the end, all research proves the novel magnetic adsorbent synthesized in this study can provide a new idea for the removal of antibiotics in water.

AbstractPurposeFetal growth restriction (FGR) is a common pregnancy complication that can be associated with several adverse perinatal outcomes. One of these negative outcomes is ductus arteriosus, especially in preterm babies. In this study, intrauterine heart function and ductus diameter were evaluated in babies with FGR.MethodsThirty‐seven fetuses with FGR were compared with 37 normal‐weight fetuses at the same gestational week. In our study, ventricular diameters, aorta, pulmonary artery, ductus arteriosus (DA), aortic arch diameter, and flow traces were examined. In addition, the aorta and aortic isthmus diameters were proportioned to the ductus diameter, and the left ventricular myocardial performance index (MPI) [(ICT + IRT)/ET] was evaluated.ResultsThere was no difference in DA diameters between the patient and control groups. The intragroup comparison of the cases with early‐ and late‐onset FGR revealed no statistically significant difference between DA diameters. However, the ratios of the aortic annulus diameter/ductus diameter (AOD/DAD) and aortic isthmus diameter/ductus diameter (AID/DAD) were significantly lower in early‐onset FGR because the diameter of the DA was greater. In addition, the mod‐MPI values were higher in the patient group.ConclusionsIn our study, although the ductal diameters did not change significantly in the patient group, the ductal diameter was greater in the early‐onset intrauterine growth restriction (FGR) group compared with other cardiac measurements. The mod‐MPI value, a cardiac function indicator, was higher in fetuses with FGR. These findings may be useful for evaluating postnatal cardiac functions in FGR.
Treatments for undefined log ratios in matching analyses
Authors: Caron Pier‐Olivier 
Published: June 2024

AbstractA challenge in carrying out matching analyses is to deal with undefined log ratios. If any reinforcer or response rate equals zero, the logarithm of the ratio is undefined: data are unsuitable for analyses. There have been some tentative solutions, but they had not been thoroughly investigated. The purpose of this article is to assess the adequacy of five treatments: omit undefined ratios, use full information maximum likelihood, replace undefined ratios by the mean divided by 100, replace them by a constant 1/10, and add the constant .50 to ratios. Based on simulations, the treatments are compared on their estimations of variance accounted for, sensitivity, and bias. The results show that full information maximum likelihood and omiting undefined ratios had the best overall performance, with negligibly biased and more accurate estimates than mean divided by 100, constant 1/10, and constant .50. The study suggests that mean divided by 100, constant 1/10, and constant .50 should be avoided and recommends full information maximum likelihood to deal with undefined log ratios in matching analyses.

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe current study examined 98 participants' preferences for five pictorial stimuli. The researchers used a verbal multiple‐stimulus‐without‐replacement (VMSWO) preference assessment with each participant to identify high‐preference and low‐preference pictorial stimuli. Next, participants viewed each pictorial stimulus in a randomized order on a computer while using a hand dynamometer that measured the amount of force they exerted to increase or maintain the visual clarity of each image. The results indicate that over 75% of participants' force response ranks corresponded with participants' VMSWO high‐preference stimuli, VMSWO low‐preference stimuli, or both. The results of the current study provide further evidence for the use of conjugate schedules in the assessment of stimulus preference with potential for use as a reinforcer assessment. Implications along with directions for future research and limitations of the findings are discussed.
Laughing from the Outside‐In: Considering ‘What's Up Africa’ as an(other) humorous humanitarian digilantism
Authors: Ademolu Edward 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis article examines the intersection of humour and humanitarianism in engaging Northern audiences with global Southern poverty issues. It analyses witty social media campaigns that critique humanitarian practices and Africa’s representation, notably What’s Up Africa (WUA) on YouTube, Radi‐Aid on YouTube, Humanitarians of Tinder on Tumblr and Barbie Savior on Instagram. Using ‘contraflow’, it shows how humour and positionality shape reception. WUA’s Black African‐centric comedy, particualrly, highlights the often‐underexplored role of race in development discourse, challenging the White institutional core of humanitarianism. These insights reveal power dynamics and invite further academic inquiry into the transformative potential of comedic humanitarian critique.

AbstractBackgroundThe field of artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving. As an easily accessible platform with vast user engagement, the Chat Generative Pre‐Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) holds great promise in medicine, with the latest version, GPT‐4, capable of analyzing clinical images.ObjectivesTo evaluate ChatGPT as a diagnostic tool and information source in clinical dermatology.MethodsA total of 15 clinical images were selected from the Danish web atlas, Danderm, depicting various common and rare skin conditions. The images were uploaded to ChatGPT version GPT‐4, which was prompted with ‘Please provide a description, a potential diagnosis, and treatment options for the following dermatological condition’. The generated responses were assessed by senior registrars in dermatology and consultant dermatologists in terms of accuracy, relevance, and depth (scale 1–5), and in addition, the image quality was rated (scale 0–10). Demographic and professional information about the respondents was registered.ResultsA total of 23 physicians participated in the study. The majority of the respondents were consultant dermatologists (83%), and 48% had more than 10 years of training. The overall image quality had a median rating of 10 out of 10 [interquartile range (IQR): 9–10]. The overall median rating of the ChatGPT generated responses was 2 (IQR: 1–4), while overall median ratings in terms of relevance, accuracy, and depth were 2 (IQR: 1–4), 3 (IQR: 2–4) and 2 (IQR: 1–3), respectively.ConclusionsDespite the advancements in ChatGPT, including newly added image processing capabilities, the chatbot demonstrated significant limitations in providing reliable and clinically useful responses to illustrative images of various dermatological conditions.

AbstractIntroduction/AimsMany people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PALS) report restrictions in their day‐to‐day communication (communicative participation). However, little is known about which speech features contribute to these restrictions. This study evaluated the effects of common speech symptoms in PALS (reduced overall speaking rate, slowed articulation rate, and increased pausing) on communicative participation restrictions.MethodsParticipants completed surveys (the Communicative Participation Item Bank‐short form; the self‐entry version of the ALS Functional Rating Scale‐Revised) and recorded themselves reading the Bamboo Passage aloud using a smartphone app. Rate and pause measures were extracted from the recordings. The association of various demographic, clinical, self‐reported, and acoustic speech features with communicative participation was evaluated with bivariate correlations. The contribution of salient rate and pause measures to communicative participation was assessed using multiple linear regression.ResultsFifty seven people living with ALS participated in the study (mean age = 61.1 years). Acoustic and self‐report measures of speech and bulbar function were moderately to highly associated with communicative participation (Spearman rho coefficients ranged from rs = 0.48 to rs = 0.77). A regression model including participant age, sex, articulation rate, and percent pause time accounted for 57% of the variance of communicative participation ratings.DiscussionEven though PALS with slowed articulation rate and increased pausing may convey their message clearly, these speech features predict communicative participation restrictions. The identification of quantitative speech features, such as articulation rate and percent pause time, is critical to facilitating early and targeted intervention and for monitoring bulbar decline in ALS.

AbstractOxidative stress caused by pregnancy‐induced hypertension syndrome significantly affects the health of pregnant women. Hydrogen sulfide is a typical gaseous signal molecule against oxidative stress, and it is of profound significance to develop a detection method. In this study, a stimuli‐responsive hydrogel was constructed based on the coordination and bonding principle of metal ions and chitosan (CS) to realize the quantitative detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The chain of CS contains a large number of amino groups and hydroxyl groups, which can form the coordination structure with Cu2+, triggering CS to form a stable hydrogel. The hydrogel can be formed within about 5 s, which has the characteristics of rapid preparation. In the presence of target H2S, the cross‐linking agent Cu2+ in the hydrogel can compete out, resulting in the collapse of the hydrogel and the release of the electrochemical probe. By detecting the concentration of the released electrochemical probe, the quantitative detection of H2S can be achieved. The prepared hydrogel has a good linear relationship with the concentration of H2S from 1 μM to 60 μm. At the same time, the hydrogel has good specificity and stability, and it can be applied to the detection of H2S in serum samples.
