Abstract
Observations of debris disks offer important insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Though M dwarfs make up approximately 80% of nearby stars, very few M dwarf debris disks have been studied in detail—making it unclear how or if the information gleaned from studying debris disks around more massive stars extends to the more abundant M dwarf systems. We report the first scattered-light detection of the debris disk around the M4 star Fomalhaut C using JWST's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam; 3.6 and 4.4 μm). This result adds to the prior sample of only four M dwarf debris disks with detections in scattered light and marks the latest spectral type and oldest star among them. The size and orientation of the disk in these data are generally consistent with the prior Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array submillimeter detection. Though no companions are identified, these data provide strong constraints on their presence—with sensitivity sufficient to recover sub-Saturn mass objects in the vicinity of the disk. This result illustrates the unique capability of JWST to uncover elusive M dwarf debris disks in scattered light and lays the groundwork for deeper studies of such objects in the 2–5 μm regime.

PollinERA aims to reverse pollinator population declines and reduce the harmful impacts of pesticides. It addresses the call through four objectives: SO1 filling ecotoxicological data gaps to enable realistic prediction of the source and routes of exposure and impact of pesticides on pollinators and their sensitivity to individual pesticides and mixtures. SO2 developing and testing a co-monitoring scheme for pesticides and pollinators across European cropping systems and landscapes, developing risk indicators and mixture exposure information. SO3 developing models for predicting pesticide toxicological effects on pollinators for chemicals and organisms, environmental fate, toxicokinetic/ toxicodynamic, and population models. SO4 developing a population-level systems-based approach to risk and policy assessment considering multiple stressors and long-term spatiotemporal dynamics at the landscape scale and generating an open database for pollinator/pesticide data and tools.
This will be achieved through developing knowledge and protocols for a broad range of toxicological testing, feeding to in silico models (QSARS, toxicokinetic/toxicodynamic, and population). Using a strong stakeholder co-development approach, these models will be combined in a One System framework taking a systems view on risk assessment and policy evaluation, including an international monitoring program.
The One System framework is based on EFSA’s system ERA view, expanding on the tools used for bees to include butterflies, moths and hoverflies. The consortium partners are experts in the field needed for this development and are well-placed to facilitate the uptake of tools by European bodies to guarantee the project's future impact.
Expected impacts target Destination impacts of better understanding and addressing drivers of biodiversity decline, interconnected biodiversity research using digital technologies, and understanding the biodiversity and health nexus at the ecosystem level.

Authors: Isik Puren , Sizmaz Selcuk , Esen Ebru , Aksoy Mustafa , Cam Burcu , Demircan Nihal , Kuhn Ferenc , Binokay Hulya 
Published: May 2024

Background and Objective:
This study aimed to identify the prognostic factors regarding the visual and anatomic outcomes of eyes with posterior segment intraocular foreign body (PS-IOFB).

Patients and Methods:
The medical records of 95 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and PS-IOFB removal between 2004 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Data on anatomical and visual outcomes, as well as preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were statistically analyzed.

Results:

The mean age of the patients was 31.9 ± 12.3 years. The mean follow-up time was 21.9 ± 28.3 months. The median time interval from trauma to IOFB removal was 9 days. In univariate analysis, there was a positive correlation between initial visual acuity (VA) and final VA (
P
< 0.001). A higher ocular trauma score (OTS) was significantly associated with both anatomical and functional success (
P
< 0.001). Linear regression analysis showed that OTS was not superior to initial VA in predicting final VA (
r
= 0.625 vs
r
= −0.601). Anatomic and functional outcomes were not affected by the injury site, nature of PS-IOFB, or timing of PS-IOFB removal (
P
> 0.05 for all). Subretinal IOFB location, the need for silicone oil tamponade, and endophthalmitis (
P
= 0.005,
P
< 0.001,
P
= 0.044, respectively) were risk factors for poor visual outcome.

Conclusions:
The initial VA, the extent of the initial ocular damage, and the presence of endophthalmitis are important prognostic factors for functional success.

Published: May 2024

Background and Objective:
This study evaluated the efficacy and durability of faricimab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who were previously treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents.

Patients and Methods:
This retrospective case series was conducted at a single tertiary center in the United States. It focused on nAMD patients who transitioned to faricimab after initial anti-VEGF therapy, with a follow-up period of at least 9 months. “Complete dryness” was defined as the absence of intra- and/or subretinal fluid on optical coherence tomography. Durability was gauged by the extension of treatment intervals relative to the injection frequency of the previous agent.

Results:

Sixty-two eyes from 62 patients were included. Treatment interval ranged from 5 to 10 weeks; 10 (16%) patients were able to be extended by 2 or more weeks compared to their previous regimen. Median (interquartile range [IQR]) central field thickness was 310 μm (254, 376) on initiating faricimab and declined by the ninth month (
P
values at 3, 6, and 9 months were 0.01, 0.02, and 0.07, respectively). Median (IQR) visual acuity at initiation of faricimab was 0.4 (0.20, 0.50) and did not change by the ninth month. Complete anatomical dryness was present in 10 (16%) eyes before switching; 90% remained dry at 9 months. Of 52 (84%) incompletely dry eyes before switching, 15% achieved complete dryness by 9 months on faricimab.

Conclusions:
Faricimab modestly improved the treatment intervals for a small proportion of previously treated patients on anti-VEGF therapy.

A Girlfriend Gaze on Romantic Feelings: Coconstructing Postfeminist Selfhood on Douban
Authors: Chen Jiayi , Peng Altman Yuzhu 
Published: May 2024

This article discusses how postfeminism plays into the exchange of romantic relationship advice between young women on the Chinese social media platform Douban. Employing Fairclough’s approach to critical discourse analysis, we elucidate how the process of giving and receiving romantic relationship advice facilitates the construction of a normative, postfeminist selfhood specific to China’s post-socialist transition. Under postfeminist aspirations for independence, self-empowerment, and personal success, this selfhood is constructed in social-mediated communication to offer an instrumentalist assessment of romantic relationships. In doing so, young Chinese women repudiate each other’s lovesickness, pathologizing romantic desires to achieve a false sense of emotional stability and mental strength. This gives rise to a girlfriend gaze on women’s emotional changes, establishing a self-/peer surveillance mechanism that regulates how members of the Douban community engage each other on the platform. While masked with a veneer of female empowerment and sisterly help, this mode of self-/peer surveillance not only perpetuates the stereotypical association of women with emotionality and irrationality but also marginalizes public discussions on structural gender inequalities, undermining collective efforts to challenge the patriarchal status quo. The research findings shed light on the functioning of neoliberal governance in contemporary China in the context of social-mediated communication.
Shifting Paradigms of Multilingual Publishing and Scholarship in India
Authors: Chowdhary Reema 
Published: May 2024

The shifting paradigms of multilingual publishing and scholarship in India refer to the evolving trends and approaches in academic publishing and scholarly activities within a multilingual and diverse linguistic context. A growing body of work in digital humanities in the last decade has addressed the problems of lack of geo-linguistic diversity (Galina, 2014) and language sensitivity (Spence and Brandao, 2021) while drawing our attention toward larger geopolitical factors that inform the development of global knowledge infrastructures (Fiormonte 2012). The research paper traces the historiography and offers a comprehensive analysis of the evolving landscape of multilingual publishing and scholarship in India.
As a linguistically diverse nation, India has a rich tapestry of languages, each with its unique cultural and historical significance. This diversity has significantly influenced the paradigms of publishing and scholarship in the country. The study begins by examining the linguistic diversity of India and its impact on publishing. It explores the challenges and opportunities presented by a multitude of languages and scripts, highlighting the need for inclusive and accessible publishing practices. It investigates the role of technology and the internet in reshaping publishing and scholarship. It delves into the accessibility and reach of digital content in various languages, considering how these technological advancements have democratized knowledge dissemination. The study critically examines how key facets like open access initiatives, digital publishing, community engagement, multilingual scholarship, and cultural preservation integrate the value of multilingualism into a more equitable and epistemically scholarly communication and publishing in India, hence, fostering inclusivity and promoting diverse knowledge systems. It then discusses a series of case studies with a special focus on Sindhi script OCR to investigate the need and importance of such a mechanism in place for language inclusivity within a language-heterogeneous country.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Peripheral demyelinating polyneuropathy, central dysmyelination, Waardenburg syndrome, and Hirschsprung’s disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by de novo variants in the SOX10 gene. The SOX10 gene is expressed in the neural crest cells during early embryonic development and in the glial cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems during late embryonic development, as well as in adults. Here, we describe our findings in a 9-month-old male infant presenting with failure to thrive, global developmental delay, seizures, hypotonia, heterochromia iridis, hypopigmented skin macules, pendular nystagmus, Hirschsprung’s disease, and hearing impairment. Nerve conduction studies were suggestive of sensorimotor demyelinating polyneuropathy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse hypomyelination. Targeted genetic testing revealed a novel stop-loss variant in the SOX10 gene (NM_006941.4). This case highlights the importance of clinical phenotyping that can aid in targeted genetic testing.

Published: May 2024

Background:
Dysphagia is a common symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), which is often overlooked. Reliable screening methods for definitive radiological investigation need to be developed.

Objectives:
To analyze the objective videofluoroscopic study of swallowing (VFSS) findings in PD patients screened using a validated 11-item swallowing disturbance questionnaire (SDQ) and to check for a correlation between the questionnaire and VFSS scale scores, as well as the sensitivity of SDQ to detect abnormal VFSS findings.

Material and Methods:
PD patients attending a movement disorder clinic were screened using SDQ and underwent VFSS. The findings were recorded and objectively rated by experienced speech and language pathologists using standardized scales. Statistical analysis was performed to check for correlation.

Results:
Twelve patients were enrolled in the study. Their SDQ scores ranged from 2 to 16. Of the 11 questions, six were checked for correlation with VFSS findings. Bolus stuck in the mouth was reported by four patients; all displayed corresponding VFSS findings. Oral residue was reported by nine, of which seven showed VFSS findings. Multiple swallows were reported by eight, and VFSS findings were observed in seven of them. Overall, even at very low scores, abnormalities were observed in corresponding VFSS parameters. However, no statistical significance (P > 0.05) was found between the SDQ scores and VFSS parameters.

Conclusion:
VFSS analysis revealed abnormal oropharyngeal swallowing parameters, which corresponded with the SDQ scores, but without statistical significance. Therefore, our questionnaire is a useful tool to predict VFSS findings in PD patients.

Authors: Kavya Srinivasaraghavan , Viswanathan Pranav , Perumal Radhakrishnan Chella , Charan Sharon Mizpah Prathana 
Published: May 2024

Context:
Communication plays a fundamental role in life as an essential aspect of relationships, personal development, identity, and social interaction. Parkinson’s disease (PD) gradually affects the ability of individuals to effectively communicate, affecting the abovementioned factors; therefore, it severely affects their quality of life.

Aim:
To compare the impact of communication difficulty on quality of life between individuals with PD and neurologically healthy (NH) individuals.

Methods and Material:
A total of 15 individuals with PD and 15 NH individuals, between the ages of 45 and 85 years, participated in this study. Quality of communication life (QoCL) was estimated using the Tamil version of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association–Quality of Communication Life scale.

Results:
The Mann–Whitney U test was performed to verify significant differences in the QoCL scores between PD and NH individuals. The mean QoCL scores were observed to be lower in the PD group than those in the NH group across the following three domains: socialization/activities, confidence/self-concept, and roles and responsibilities. However, the QoCL score was significantly different for only two domains: roles and responsibilities (p = 0.00) and socialization/activities (p = 0.00).

Conclusion:
Identifying the impact of communication difficulty in daily life will help speech–language pathologists in planning communication rehabilitation, prioritization of goals, counselling, structuring client-centered therapeutic strategies, and documenting outcomes to improve the QoCL in individuals with PD.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
The use of porcelain laminate veneers to solve esthetic and functional problems has proven to be a valid management option, especially in the anterior esthetic zone. Veneers are a reliable treatment option to modify the appearance of tooth position and form, to close diastema or cervical embrasures, or to change the tooth shade. Porcelain veneers are one of the best corrective options available considering biological, functional, mechanical, and esthetic points of view.
Study on the potential link between atopic dermatitis and irritable bowel syndrome
Authors: Khalid Hesham N. , Seliman Rokia A. , Abdalla Ezzat M. 
Published: May 2024

Objective
To study the possible link between atopic dermatitis (AD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Background
Studies have provided some insight that IBS patients are indeed more likely to suffer from certain skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis compared with the healthy controls. Both atopic dermatitis and IBS are brought about by immune dysregulation in genetically susceptible hosts.

Patients and methods
In all, 140 patients were enrolled in this study and were divided into two groups: group A: 70 IBS patients and group B: 70 healthy controls. IBS patients were diagnosed with IBS by an internal medicine physician. All patients were subjected to complete history taking. Both general and dermatological examinations were performed. Patients with IBS were diagnosed using Roman IV criteria and stool test. The diagnosis of atopic dermatitis is based on the findings of the history and physical examination. Exposure to possible exacerbating factors, such as aeroallergens, irritating chemicals, foods, and emotional stress, has been investigated. Unfortunately, no specific laboratory findings or histologic features define atopic dermatitis. Although elevated IgE levels are found in up to 80% of affected patients, IgE levels are also elevated in patients with other atopic diseases. Determination of atopic dermatitis severity was done using Eczema Area Scoring Index (EASI). SCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis) is used to assess the extent and severity of eczema. Dermatology Life Quality Index was utilized to measure how much the patient’s skin problem has affected his life over the last week. Pruritus intensity score was utilized to assign a numerical score representing the intensity of patient’s itching on a scale from 0 to 10.

Results
Atopic dermatitis was higher in patients with irritable bowel syndrome: 17(24.3%) versus 6 (8.6%) in controls (P value 0.012). There was a significant positive correlation between scoring atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) and eczema area scoring index (EASI) (P=0.001).

Conclusions
There is a strong link and possible common pathological pathways between both AD and IBS.

Introduction:
Clinical data on the differences in presentation and outcome of admitted COVID-19 patients in Nigeria are limited. This study aimed to compare the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in a Tertiary Hospital in Lagos and describe the clinical differences between the waves, the severity of COVID-19, and the mortality differences.

Methods:
The study was a retrospective review of the medical records of all children and adults admitted to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) COVID-19 Isolation and Treatment Centre during the first wave (from April 2020 to October 2020) and second wave (from December 2020 to April 2021). The clinical characteristics (including COVID severity) and outcome among admitted patients during the two waves were compared.

Results:
Between April 2020 and April 2021, 602 patients were admitted to LUTH for COVID-19. Patients in the first wave were significantly younger (43 vs. 54.5 years), more in number (53.8% vs. 46.2%), and had a higher proportion of health-care workers than those in the second wave (14.5% vs. 6.5%). Comorbidities were present in more than half of the patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection (51.0%). This proportion was much higher during the pandemic's second wave (41.7% vs. 61.9%, P < 0.001). The most common comorbidity found in hospitalized patients was hypertension (37.0%). Patients admitted during the second wave had shorter stays (11 vs. 7 days) and similar mortality rates (10.2% vs. 10.8%).

Conclusion:
The first and second waves had comparable mortality rates though patients in the first wave were younger and there were more healthcare providers in the cohort. Patients admitted to the second wave however had more comorbidities but shorter lengths of stay which may suggest a better understanding of the infection and better outcome.
