Stent Crumpling as a Complication of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, a Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Mehrpooya Maryam , Vahidi Hamed , Taheri Maryam , Ebrahimi Pouya 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTStent crumpling is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This report highlights a case of stent crumpling during a PCI procedure, its management, and the importance of advanced imaging techniques in diagnosing and addressing such complications. A 78‐year‐old man was admitted for elective PCI on the left anterior descending (LAD) artery following an acute anterior ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with thrombolytic therapy. The patient exhibited significant ischemic changes on his electrocardiogram (ECG) and experienced persistent angina. During the PCI, two overlapping stents were deployed in the LAD. Post‐dilation led to slow flow and thrombus formation in the LAD, rapidly progressing to cardiac arrest. Immediate resuscitation and intracoronary thrombolytic therapy were initiated. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed stent crumpling, so the proximal stent folded within the vessel lumen. To solve this issue, the crumpled stent was crushed behind a newly deployed stent, followed by post‐dilation, which restored TIMI flow grade III in the LAD.

ABSTRACTInsulinomas are the primary etiology of endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, which often manifest with Whipple’s triad and neuroglycopenic symptoms. Given the diverse clinical manifestation and subtle onset of insulinomas generally in a small size, detecting a minority of these generally small tumors can be challenging. We reported a case of a 44‐year‐old female patient with recurrent hypoglycemia accompanied by hyperinsulinemia, and the conventional imaging revealed no abnormality. With the aid of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (EUS‐FNAB), the insulinoma was precisely diagnosed and localized, and successfully excised via operation. The patient’s hyperinsulinemia and hypoglycemic episodes were relieved significantly after surgery. The application of EUS‐FNAB notably enhances the diagnostic accuracy for occult insulinomas, thereby informing appropriate surgical management. Herein, we advocate for invasive EUS examination in patients exhibiting strong clinical and laboratory indicators of insulinoma, even when conventional imaging results are negative.
Underground tunnel construction for environmental protection and resident consideration
Authors: Tomita Teppei 
Published: February 2025

AbstractA 1800 m long tunnel is planned in Tokyo, with a section width of 10 m and an excavated cross‐section of 70 m2 for each of the two tunnels. The ground consists of unconsolidated sand, and the conventional tunneling method will be used. Two main challenges need to be addressed: (1) The tunnel passes near wetlands inhabited by sensitive species and invaluable ecosystems, necessitating hydraulic and perimeter surveys to assess the potential impact of excavation on the environment. To mitigate these effects, the tunnel alignment was planned to avoid sensitive wetland areas. A waterproof structure was also designed, incorporating a 3D shell‐spring analysis and reinforced bar placement at critical crossings. A Building/Construction Information Modeling, Management model was also developed for precise planning. (2) The tunnel portal is located near residential areas, requiring careful consideration of the surrounding environment. 3D simulations were conducted to evaluate noise levels in the temporary yard to manage noise pollution, and soundproofing measures were implemented. A 3D noise map was also created to facilitate clear communication with residents during explanatory meetings, ensuring transparency and minimizing disturbance. These solutions ensure the project progresses with minimal environmental and residential impact.

AbstractAn efficient recovery method of valuable metals from NdFeB carbonyl residues with ultra‐low rare earth content was developed. Selective leaching of NdFeB carbonyl residues was carried out using hydrochloric acid, and the leaching conditions were investigated and optimized. The experimental results showed that the optimum operating conditions for hydrochloric acid leaching were as follows: concentration of 2.5 mol/L, leaching temperature of 60°C, leaching time of 0.5 h, leaching solid–liquid ratio of 1:2 (g/mL), and rotational speed of 600 rpm during the leaching process. At this time, the leaching rate of neodymium in the carbonyl residues of NdFeB was 46.67%, and the leaching rate of iron was around 0.01%. The use of hydrochloric acid leaching had a high selectivity for Nd and Fe in the carbonyl residues. Neutralization and removal of impurities from the leach solution was carried out using NaOH and the pH of the leach solution was set to 4.0, at which time the removal of Fe was 76.52%. The neodymium in the leach solution was directly recovered by oxalic acid precipitation method, and the dosage of oxalic acid was 1.2 times of the theoretical dosage of oxalic acid, at which the recovery rate of neodymium was 96.38%, and the purity of the rare earth oxides obtained was 99.95%.

AbstractThis study focuses on optimizing bioethanol production using Saccharomyces bayanus in a submerged culture medium containing sorghum green malt and cane molasses as mixed carbon sources. A Taguchi experimental design L9 (34) was employed to evaluate the effects of the concentrations of cane molasses, urea, and CaCO3, as well as the initial pH, on bioethanol yield. The results demonstrated that molasses concentration and initial pH were the most significant factors influencing bioethanol production. The optimal treatment achieved a bioethanol concentration of 139.10 g/L after 48 h of fermentation, with a productivity of 2.90 g/(L · h) and a yield of 1.22 g of bioethanol produced per g of reducing sugars consumed. Additionally, the modified Monod model accurately described the fermentation kinetics, capturing trends in yeast growth and substrate consumption. This model is an essential tool for scaling up the bioethanol production process in continuous bioreactors. Results suggest that sorghum green malt, supplemented with cane molasses, provides a low‐cost, nutritionally complete, and environmentally friendly culture medium for bioethanol production.

AbstractBackgroundDespite the availability of numerous guidelines for asthma management, their recommendations are not consistently implemented in clinical practice. This discrepancy between guidelines and real‐world practice among Italian healthcare professionals was explored during the “Revolution in Asthma” training program, which identified “gray areas” and barriers preventing clinicians from adopting guideline‐based approaches.ObjectiveThis study aims to analyze the key challenges in asthma management and provide evidence‐based solutions to improve adherence to guidelines in clinical practice.MethodsA group of experts from the Scientific Committee of the Revolution in Asthma project reviewed the program's findings, focusing on three main areas of asthma management: diagnosis, control, and treatment. The experts summarized clinicians' main needs and questions for each area and provided evidence‐based responses and practical recommendations.ResultsThe study highlights critical challenges in asthma treatment, addressing two key questions: (a) What are the possible uses and indications for short‐acting β‐agonists in asthma patients? (b) How should asthma treatment be initiated and adjusted based on asthma control? The expert panel developed practical, operational tools to support general practitioners and specialists (pulmonologists and allergists) in optimizing asthma management.ConclusionThis paper serves as a knowledge co‐creation initiative, bridging the gap between clinical guidelines and daily practice. By offering concrete recommendations, it aims to enhance the application of guideline‐based asthma management among healthcare professionals.
Exploring Anatomical Links Between the Crow's Nidopallium Caudolaterale and Its Song System

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTCrows are corvid songbirds that exhibit remarkable cognitive control, including their ability to vocalize on command. The activity of single neurons from the crow's associative telencephalic structure nidopallium caudolaterale (NCL) is correlated with the execution of this vocal and many non‐vocal behaviors. However, whether anatomical connections directly link the crow NCL to its “song system” remains unclear. To address this, we used fluorescent tracers along with histological staining methods to characterize the connectivity of the crow's NCL in relation to its song system. Consistent with previous findings in other songbirds, we found that the NCL sends dense projections into the dorsal intermediate arcopallium (AID) directly adjacent to the song system's telencephalic motor output, the robust nucleus of the arcopallium (RA). Similarly, we demonstrate dense NCL projections into the striatum engulfing the basal ganglia song nucleus “area X.” Both of these descending projections mirror the projections of the nidopallial song nucleus HVC (proper name) into RA and area X, with extremely sparse NCL fibers extending into area X. Furthermore, we characterized the distribution of cells projecting from the lateral part of the magnocellular nucleus of the anterior nidopallium (MAN) to NCL. Notably, a separate medial population of MAN cells projects to HVC. These two sets of connections—MAN to NCL and MAN to HVC—run in parallel but do not overlap. Taken together, our findings support the hypothesis that the NCL is part of a “general motor system” that parallels the song system but exhibits only minimal monosynaptic interconnections with it.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe goal of this study was to evaluate whether personality disorder prototypes derived from three different models have similar pathological trait profiles within the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD). Trainee clinicians (N = 329) rated a patient they were currently treating using the Shedler–Westen Assessment Procedure, the DSM‐5 hybrid model prototype match (modified from the original prototype DSM‐5 proposal) and the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual prototype match. Correlations among each PD prototype model with the DSM‐5 traits were assessed. Theoretically similar prototypes across the SWAP‐II, DSM‐5 hybrid model and PDM were correlated with several traits across models, ranging from small‐to‐large effect sizes. Similar prototypes also appeared to display similar trait profiles with some exceptions. Results suggest that the SWAP‐II, DSM‐5 and PDM prototype models tend to assess similar constructs overall, even though the methods are theoretically distinct. Implications of these findings for PD diagnosis are discussed.
High‐sensitivity Epimutations Testing with MS‐HRM

Published: February 2025

AbstractEpimutation is defined as any heritable change in gene activity that does not affect the actual sequence of DNA. One of the most researched epimutations is promoter methylation of breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1. This epimutation may arise de novo in somatic tissues, such as breast or ovarian cancer tissue, but has also been shown to be widely distributed throughout tissues. BRCA1 methylation detectable in peripheral blood has been associated with the risk of both breast and ovarian cancer in patients without a germline pathogenic variant status of this gene. The strength of this association suggests that diagnostic screening for the BRCA1 epimutation should be considered with potential implications in cancer risk assessment. However, the detection of BRCA1 epimutation may be challenging, as it is generally detectable at a very low level in blood. Methylation‐sensitive high‐resolution melting (MS‐HRM) was shown to provide a high sensitivity of methylation detection, and as it is a PCR‐based method, epimutation screening based on MS‐HRM is labor‐ and cost‐effective. Here we describe the MS‐HRM protocol for BRCA1 epimutation screening. © 2025 Wiley Periodicals LLC.Basic Protocol: High sensitivity constitutional epimutations testing with MS‐HRM

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTUnlocking the power of ecosystem services reveals how their integration can drive meaningful economic sustainability and shape future development strategies. This study takes a multifaceted approach to explore the relationship between ecosystem services (ES) and economic sustainability, employing a rigorous quantitative research design. Data were gathered from 147 business leaders, 111 government officials, and 150 environmental and economic researchers using purposive sampling, with subsequent analysis conducted via SPSS software. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between the value of ES and economic sustainability indicators at both regional and national levels. Policy interventions that focus on enhancing ES valuation were found to lead to improved economic outcomes and long‐term sustainability. Furthermore, stakeholder collaboration emerged as a crucial factor in boosting the effectiveness of ecosystem management practices. Economic sectors that are heavily reliant on ES demonstrated greater resilience and adaptability to environmental changes compared to those with limited reliance. Moreover, the integration of ES valuation into economic decision‐making processes was shown to foster more informed and sustainable development strategies. The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive approach, which integrates quantitative data analysis, policy evaluation, stakeholder perspectives, and sector‐specific assessments to provide a holistic understanding of the complex interplay between ecological conservation and economic prosperity. These findings underscore the critical role of ES in enhancing economic resilience and sustainability, emphasizing the importance of their strategic integration into policy frameworks and decision‐making processes for future development.

ABSTRACTThis study investigates how the corporate social responsibility (CSR) committee mediates the relationship between board gender diversity (BGD) and environmental innovation in European countries. This research analyzed data from non‐financial companies listed in Europe over a period spanning from 2013 to 2022 in order to investigate the direct influence of BGD on environmental innovation. Moreover, this study also explored an indirect influence in the form of the mediating role of the CSR committee, thus making a noteworthy contribution to the field. Furthermore, by integrating insights from the areas of gender diversity, corporate governance, and sustainability, this research enhances our understanding of the various factors that influence environmental innovation. Indeed, the results indicate a positive and significant relationship between BGD and environmental innovation. Additionally, the findings showed that the CSR committee plays a partially mediating role in this relationship.
Design of a Nonisolated Bidirectional Multiport DC‐DC Converter With Improved Efficiency for Photovoltaic Applications

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTIn this paper, a novel multiport and bidirectional converter is presented that possesses the capability to multiply the voltage gain and enhance overall efficiency. The converter integrates the input, energy storage, and load ports into a single unit for renewable energy applications. The circuit structure incorporates only a single coupled inductor; however, a significant issue arises from the energy stored in the leakage inductor, which leads to voltage spikes on the power switch and diodes. To solve this problem, a passive clamp circuit has been implemented. This auxiliary circuit not only limits the voltage on the power switch but also recovers the energy stored in the leakage inductor and transfers it to the output. To increase voltage gain, this method employs the technique of switched capacitor and voltage lift, along with adjustments to the winding turns ratio of the coupled inductor. As a result, it achieves high voltage gain with a low duty cycle. By reducing the duty cycle, the circulating current duration in the circuit is minimized, which improves the overall efficiency. In this study, the prominent design features of this converter are high voltage gain with a low duty cycle, low voltage stress on switches, low winding turns ratio of the coupled inductor, and high efficiency. The various operating stages for the three modes—single‐input single‐output (SISO), single‐input double‐output (SIDO), and double‐input single‐output (DISO)—are analyzed, and design requirements are presented theoretically. Eventually, to evaluate the veracity of the theoretical analysis and the stated equations, a laboratory prototype of the proposed converter has been constructed. The prototype has an input (PV) voltage of 30 V, battery voltage of 45 V, and an output voltage of 400 V with a rated power of 300 W.

ABSTRACTThis study evaluated information shared with parents about infant development through formal sources in five countries and international organizations (i.e., regions). Consistent findings among regions were: (1) Tendency to format information as developmental milestones; (2) Sharing primarily information about motor development, but most often repeating recommendations for advancing language development; (3) Variability in specific information shared among regions and among sources within each region about the same general topics; and (4) Consensus mentioning seven behaviors representing early exploratory, mobility, and communication abilities that support learning and expression. Differences in the content shared among the regions are also described. The findings provide insight into commonalities and differences in educational practices that likely reflect more universal versus regional cultural beliefs and values.

AbstractAnnual mowing, a main management strategy of grasslands, would reduce primary productivity, though might increase plant diversity. Nitrogen (N) fertilization is widely used to raise productivity in global pastures, but always results in biodiversity losses. It is thus a challenge to balance the divergent impacts of mowing and N fertilization on biodiversity and productivity. Here, we examine 9‐year responses of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and species richness to mowing across a N addition gradient (0, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 g N m−2 year−1) in a temperate steppe. The negative impacts of mowing on ANPP were exacerbated over time under N fertilization with rates at or lower than 10 g N m−2 year−1 but were reversed by higher N fertilization rates. Such responses of community‐level ANPP were largely driven by the dominant grass, Leymus chinensis (L.c.), instead of species richness. Nitrogen fertilization reversed the negative impacts of mowing on the contribution of L.c. to community‐level production over time, with less time being needed for the critical reverse under higher fertilization rates. A “win–win” pattern of biodiversity and production could be reached in the mown grasslands under the N fertilization rate of 5 g N m−2 year−1, as evidenced by no temporal variation in both production and biodiversity over time in comparison with grasslands under ambient conditions (unmown and non‐fertilization). Our results highlight the role of dominant species instead of species diversity in driving the fundamental functioning of mown grasslands and thus facilitate adaptive grassland management.
