Published: May 2024

AbstractInterest in psychedelics is increasing due to the potential for improved mental health and quality of life. However, adverse effects on mental health are still a concern. Personality traits have been suggested to both influence the psychedelic experience and mental health, and even be changed by psychedelic use. The present study describes for the first time a national sample of Swedish psychedelic users (n = 400) compared to a sex and age-matched control-group of non-users (n = 400) regarding mental health variables (depression, insomnia, problematic alcohol and drug use, and dissociation) and personality (Big Five). Data was collected in an online survey including individuals from 16 years of age who had at least one psychedelic experience. The main results reported psychedelic users as less depressed (Patient Health Questionnaire-9; PHQ-9) (d = − 0.29) and having more use of drugs (Drug Use Disorders Identification Test; DUDIT) (d = 1.27). In the Big Five personality traits, openness differed notably (d = 1.72), and the between-group effects in PHQ-9 were explained by lower neuroticism. Our findings reveal that psychedelic users report less depression and higher drug use, and this is partly due to personality traits. These results have implications on how we view psychedelic users and the use of psychedelic drugs.

AbstractGlobal wild-capture fisheries are a large and diverse sector requiring various tools for fisheries-dependant data collection and effective Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS). Here we present a novel protocol to collect eDNA from brine tanks onboard commercial longline vessels to reconstruct catch composition. We collected samples from nine vessels operating out of the Eastern Tuna Billfish Fishery, Australia, validating eDNA results with reliable catch data consisting of seven target and bycatch species. Environmental DNA was highly effective for detecting species retained on vessels without contamination or false positives. For four vessels, logbook data and eDNA were consistent with detections of all species. The remaining vessels detected all species except for rare catches of short-billed spearfish (Tetrapturus angustirostris). Similarities between rank abundance distributions of catch and eDNA reads were observed with logbook data mirrored when eDNA sequences were organised into rank order abundance. The method was effective at identifying highly abundant taxa retained in brine tanks- tuna (Thunnus spp.), swordfish (Xiphias gladius), marlin (Kajijia audax), and Atlantic Pomfret (Brama brama). Further research is required to validate how eDNA and other molecular monitoring tools can be scaled and applied to provide solutions for monitoring challenges in the fisheries sector.

AbstractIn pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients, the importance of peritoneal lavage cytology, which indicates unresectability, remains controversial. This study sought to determine whether positive peritoneal lavage cytology (CY+) precludes pancreatectomy. Furthermore, we propose a novel liquid biopsy using peritoneal lavage fluid to detect viable peritoneal tumor cells (v-PTCs) with TelomeScan F35, a telomerase-specific replication-selective adenovirus engineered to express green fluorescent protein. Resectable cytologically or histologically proven PDAC patients (n = 53) were enrolled. CY was conducted immediately following laparotomy. The resulting fluid was examined by conventional cytology (conv-CY; Papanicolaou staining and MOC-31 immunostaining) and by the novel technique (Telo-CY; using TelomeScan F35). Of them, 5 and 12 were conv-CY+ and Telo-CY+, respectively. All underwent pancreatectomy. The two double-CY+ (conv-CY+ and Telo-CY+) patients showed early peritoneal recurrence (P-rec) postoperatively, despite adjuvant chemotherapy. None of the three conv-CY+ Telo-CY− patients exhibited P-rec. Six of the 10 Telo-CY+ conv-CY− patients (60%) relapsed with P-rec. Of the remaining 38 double-CY− [conv-CY−, Telo-CY−, conv-CY± (Class III)] patients, 3 (8.3%) exhibited P-rec. Although conv-CY+ status predicted poor prognosis and a higher risk of P-rec, Telo-CY was more sensitive for detecting v-PTC. Staging laparoscopy and performing conv-CY and Telo-CY are needed to confirm the indication for pancreatectomy.

AbstractMany large unit-cell rare-earth transition metal ternary alloys of the type Ra(M1−xM’x)b exhibit non-monotonic ferrimagnetic Curie temperatures (TC) coupled to monotonic composition-controlled magnetization. Its origin remains an important long-standing puzzle in the absence of studies probing their temperature-dependent element-specific magnetism. Here, in order to resolve this issue and identify design principles for new R-M-M’ permanent magnets, we carry out x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) for the series Gd6(Mn1−xFex)23, x = 0.0 − 0.75. The results show that the net Mn-moment reduces and switches from parallel to antiparallel for x ≥ 0.2, while the Fe-moment is always antiparallel to the Gd-moment. Kouvel-Fisher analyses of XMCD data reveals distinct sublattice TC’s and 3D Heisenberg criticality. Band structure calculations show magnetic moments and density of states consistent with experiments. The magnetic phase diagram shows three regions characterized by (i) Mn-sublattice bulk-TC > Gd-sublattice TC, (ii) a reduced common-TC for all sublattices, and (iii) Fe-sublattice bulk-TC > Gd-sublattice TC. The Mn-moment switching and gradual increase of Fe-moment combine to cause non-monotonic TC’s with monotonic magnetization. The study indicates the importance of element-specific TC’s for tuning magnetic properties.
Progression of chronic liver disease to hepatocellular carcinoma: implications for surveillance and management

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Background
Current opinion holds that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arises as a stepwise progression from chronic liver disease (CLD) to cirrhosis and then to HCC. However, some HCCs may develop in a non-cirrhotic liver, raising uncertainty about their origin.

Methods
We analysed a prospectively accrued cohort of 2592 CLD patients (median follow-up = 13 years) with no prior evidence of liver cirrhosis. To track the progression of liver fibrosis prior to HCC diagnosis, we examined serial measurements of Fib-4 (an index of liver fibrosis). We also evaluated fibrosis progression in response to antiviral treatment in patients with hepatitis C (HCV) and hepatitis B (HBV). Recognising the limitations of serologic fibrosis assessment, we correlated Fib-4 and fibrosis histology within this cohort.

Results
Among HCC patients, 28% had no indication of cirrhosis prior to HCC diagnosis. Only 31% of HBV-related HCC cases followed the cirrhotic pathway. HCV patients who achieved sustained virological response (SVR) developed cirrhosis approximately 7 years before HCC diagnosis.

Conclusions
Our analysis challenges the notion of cirrhosis as an obligatory stage of HCC development in CLD patients. We affirm HBV’s direct oncogenic potential and find that achieving SVR does not universally prevent HCC development. Our findings have major implications for HCC surveillance.

AbstractThe opto-electronic oscillators (OEOs) hosting self-sustained oscillations by a time-delayed mechanism are of particular interest in long-haul signal transmission and processing. On the other hand, owing to their unique tunability and compatibility, magnons—as elementary excitations of spin waves—are advantageous carriers for coherent signal transduction across different platforms. In this work, we integrated an opto-electronic oscillator with a magnonic oscillator consisting of a microwave waveguide and a yttrium iron garnet sphere. We find that, in the presence of the magnetic sphere, the oscillator power spectrum exhibits sidebands flanking the fundamental OEO modes. The measured waveguide transmission reveals anti-crossing gaps, a hallmark of the coupling between the opto-electronic oscillator modes and the Walker modes of the sphere. Experimental results are well reproduced by a coupled-mode theory that accounts for nonlinear magnetostrictive interactions mediated by the magnetic sphere. Leveraging the advanced fiber-optic technologies in opto-electronics, this work lays out a new, hybrid platform for investigating long-distance coupling and nonlinearity in coherent magnonic phenomena.

Abstract
Asiatic acid (AA) is a polyphenolic compound with potent antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities that make it a potential choice to attenuate inflammation and oxidative insults associated with ulcerative colitis (UC). Hence, the present study aimed to evaluate if AA can attenuate molecular, biochemical, and histological alterations in the acetic acid-induced UC model in rats. To perform the study, five groups were applied, including the control, acetic acid-induced UC, UC-treated with 40 mg/kg aminosalicylate (5-ASA), UC-treated with 20 mg/kg AA, and UC-treated with 40 mg/kg AA. Levels of different markers of inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis were studied along with histological approaches. The induction of UC increased the levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and nitric oxide (NO). Additionally, the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its downstream antioxidant proteins [catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GR)] were down-regulated in the colon tissue. Moreover, the inflammatory mediators [myeloperoxidase (MPO), monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP1), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β)] were increased in the colon tissue after the induction of UC. Notably, an apoptotic response was developed, as demonstrated by the increased caspase-3 and Bax and decreased Bcl2. Interestingly, AA administration at both doses lessened the molecular, biochemical, and histopathological changes following the induction in the colon tissue of UC. In conclusion, AA could improve the antioxidative status and attenuate the inflammatory and apoptotic challenges associated with UC.
Cytosolic sulfotransferases in endocrine disruption
Authors: Duffel Michael W. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The mammalian cytosolic sulfotransferases (SULTs) catalyze the sulfation of endocrine hormones as well as a broad array of drugs, environmental chemicals, and other xenobiotics. Many endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) interact with these SULTs as substrates and inhibitors, and thereby alter sulfation reactions responsible for metabolism and regulation of endocrine hormones such as estrogens and thyroid hormones. EDCs or their metabolites may also regulate expression of SULTs through direct interaction with nuclear receptors and other transcription factors. Moreover, some sulfate esters derived from EDCs (EDC-sulfates) may serve as ligands for endocrine hormone receptors. While the sulfation of an EDC can lead to its excretion in the urine or bile, it may also result in retention of the EDC-sulfate through its reversible binding to serum proteins and thereby enable transport to other tissues for intracellular hydrolysis and subsequent endocrine disruption. This mini-review outlines the potential roles of SULTs and sulfation in the effects of EDCs and our evolving understanding of these processes.
Acceptability of Racial Microaggressions From the Perspective of Speech-Language Pathology Students
Authors: Coalson Geoffrey A. , Castello Skyller , Johnson Kia N. , Oetting Janna B. , Haebig Eileen 
Published: May 2024

Purpose:
Implicit racial and ethnic biases have been documented across a variety of allied health professions; however, minimal research on this topic has been conducted within the field of speech-language pathology. The purpose of this study was to understand implicit racial and ethnic bias in speech-language pathology students by examining their perceptions and attitudes about the acceptability of racial and ethnic microaggressions. We also examined whether the student ratings varied by their racial and ethnic identity (White vs. people of color [POC]).

Method:
Fifty-nine students (72% White, 28% POC) currently enrolled in a speech-language pathology program voluntarily completed the Acceptability of Racial Microaggressions Scale via an online Qualtrics survey.

Results:
Although 70% of the student ratings classified the microaggressive statements as unacceptable, 30% of their ratings classified the statements as either (a) acceptable or (b) neither acceptable nor unacceptable. Although both groups of students rated the majority of statements as unacceptable, students who self-identified as White rated more statements as acceptable than students who self-identified as POC.

Conclusions:
Findings indicating relatively high rejection of microaggressive statements by speech-language pathology students are promising. However, responses were not uniform, and a nontrivial proportion of responses provided by speech-language pathology students reflected passivity toward or active endorsement of microaggressive statements.

Published: May 2024

AbstractThe development of smart grids, traditional power grids, and the integration of internet of things devices have resulted in a wealth of data crucial to advancing energy management and efficiency. Nevertheless, public datasets remain limited due to grid operators' and companies' reluctance to disclose proprietary information. The authors present a comprehensive analysis of more than 50 publicly available datasets, organised into three main categories: micro‐ and macro‐consumption data, detailed in‐home consumption data (often referred to as non‐intrusive load monitoring datasets or building data) and grid data. Furthermore, the study underscores future research priorities, such as advancing synthetic data generation, improving data quality and standardisation, and enhancing big data management in smart grids. The aim of the authors is to enable researchers in the smart and power grid a comprehensive reference point to pick suitable and relevant public datasets to evaluate their proposed methods. The provided analysis highlights the importance of following a systematic and standardised approach in evaluating future methods and directs readers to future potential venues of research in the area of smart grid analytics.

Aims. Green peas (GPs) are young, compact, star-forming dwarf galaxies, and local (z ∼ 0.3) analogues of the early galaxies (z ≥ 6) considered to be mainly responsible for the reionisation of the Universe. Recent X-ray observations of GPs led to the detection of high excess emission, which cannot be accounted for by star formation alone and implies the presence of an active galactic nucleus (AGN). We employ radio observations to study the radio properties of GPs, build their radio spectral energy distributions, and verify the presence of AGNs.
Methods. We performed new radio observations of three GPs with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) in the L, C, and X bands (1.4, 6 and 10 GHz resp.), and analysed them alongside data from archival observations and large radio surveys. We also analysed the archival radio data for a larger sample of GPs and blueberry (BBs) galaxies, which are lower-mass and lower-redshift analogues of the GPs. To understand the significance of the radio observations, we assess the detectability of these sources, and compare the detected radio luminosities with expectations from theoretical and empirical relations.
Results. Two of the three targeted GPs are strongly detected (> 10σ) in the JVLA observations and their fluxes are consistent with star formation, while the third source is undetected. Although archival radio surveys have the sensitivity to detect a large fraction (∼75%) of the sources from the larger archival sample of GPs and BBs, we only detect a small number (< 40%) of them and their radio luminosity is significantly lower than the expectation from empirical relations.
Conclusions. Our results show that the majority of the dwarf galaxies in our sample are highly underluminous. The radio luminosity–star formation rate (SFR) relation deviates from the empirical relations, especially towards the lower end of galaxy mass and SFR, suggesting that the relations established for larger galaxies may not hold towards the low-mass end.
The colliding-wind binary HD 168112
Authors: Blomme R. , Rauw G. , Volpi D. , Nazé Y. , Abdul-Masih M. 
Published: May 2024

Context. Radio surveys of early-type stars have revealed a number of non-thermal emitters. Most of these have been shown to be binaries, where the collision between the two stellar winds is responsible for the non-thermal emission.
Aims. HD 168112 is a non-thermal radio emitter, whose binary nature has only recently been confirmed spectroscopically. We obtained independent spectroscopic observations to determine its orbit, in addition to radio observations to see if the thermal or non-thermal nature of the emission changes during the periastron passage.
Methods. We monitored HD 168112 spectroscopically for a 13 yr time span. From these data, we determined the orbital parameters, which we compared to the previous results in the literature. The stellar parameters of both components were determined by comparing the spectra to TLUSTY models. From the spectral index of the radio observations, we found how the nature of the emission changes as the system goes through periastron. Combining our results with other literature data allowed us to further constrain the orbital and stellar parameters.
Results. We find HD 168112 to have an orbital period of P = 512.17−0.11+0.41 days, an eccentricity of e = 0.7533−0.0124+0.0053, and a mass ratio close to one. From our spectroscopic modelling, we derived the stellar parameters, but we had difficulty arriving at a spectroscopic mass ratio of one. The radio observations around periastron show only thermal emission, suggesting that most of the synchrotron photons are absorbed in the two stellar winds at that phase. Combining our data with the optical interferometry detection, we could constrain the inclination angle to i ~ 63°, and the mass of each component to ~26 M⊙.
Conclusions. We have provided an independent spectroscopic confirmation of the binary nature of HD 168112. Although detected as a non-thermal radio emitter, near periastron the radio emission of this highly eccentric system is thermal and is mainly formed in the colliding-wind region. This effect will also occur in other colliding-wind binaries.

Contexte et problématique : Les études d’odontologie sont décrites dans la littérature comme enthousiasmantes, très tôt professionnalisantes et comme stressantes avec des conséquences potentielles sur la santé mentale des étudiants. Objectif : Évaluer le vécu de l’étudiant-hospitalier à l’Unité de formation et de recherche (UFR) en odontologie de l’Université de Bretagne occidentale (Brest, France). Méthodes : Lors de cette étude qualitative, douze entretiens individuels d’étudiants hospitaliers inscrits à l’UFR d’odontologie de Brest en quatrième, cinquième ou sixième années ont été réalisés et enregistrés. Après transcription des verbatim anonymes, les entretiens ont fait l’objet d’une analyse thématique inductive par deux investigateurs en codes sources puis codes axiaux, ensuite regroupés en catégories. Résultats : Cinq catégories ont été dégagées : l’environnement de travail, la formation, la gestion du patient, les relations interprofessionnelles et les interactions avec la vie extérieure. Le rythme important, la validation des années universitaires, le comportement de certains enseignants, le manque de fauteuils, les défauts d’organisation dans le service et l’impact sur la vie sociale majorent un stress déjà induit par les compétences à acquérir (techniques et de relation de soin) par un futur professionnel de santé. Pourtant, la formation est jugée de qualité, ainsi que le matériel mis à disposition. Les étudiants notent que la majorité des enseignants est investie et bienveillante. Le contexte de vie de l’étudiant et la participation à des activités extra-universitaires permettent de moduler le stress ressenti. Conclusion : À partir du vécu des étudiants, cette étude propose des pistes de réflexion pour améliorer le bien-être des étudiants hospitaliers en odontologie.
Cushing's Syndrome in the Elderly
Authors: Zdrojowy-Wełna Aleksandra , Valassi Elena 
Published: May 2024

AbstractManagement of Cushing’s syndrome (CS) can be particularly challenging in older
patients, compared with younger individuals, due to the lack of several clinical
features associated with cortisol excess along with a greater burden of
associated comorbidities. Moreover, the interpretation of diagnostic tests could
be influenced by age-related physiological changes in cortisol secretion. While
mortality is higher and quality of life is more impaired in the elderly with CS
as compared with the younger, there is currently no agreement on the most
effective therapeutic options in aged individuals, and safety data concerning
medical treatment are scanty. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge
about age-related differences in CS etiology, clinical presentation, treatment,
and outcomes and describe the potential underlying mechanisms.
