Published: March 2024

AbstractThe fascia of the pancreatic head is referred to as the retropancreatic fascia of Treitz, and that of the body and tail of the pancreas is named the retropancreatic fascia of Toldt. However, the spatial relationship between the nerves, fascia, and the distribution of the fascia on the dorsal side of the pancreas remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the distribution of these fasciae and elucidate the spatial relationship between the nerves and arteries connecting the retroperitoneal space and the peritoneal organs by studying eight cadavers using macroscopic anatomical examination, wide‐range serial sectioning, and three‐dimensional reconstruction. The fasciae of Treitz and Toldt converge caudally to the root of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), forming a narrower gap around the roots of the celiac trunk and SMA than in the celiac plexus. The fasciae eventually get closer to each other, and the boundary between them becomes obscured, providing coverage to the anterior surface of the aorta between the SMA and the inferior mesenteric artery. The celiac plexus does not penetrate the fascia but converges before spreading into the pancreas. Similarly, the arteries pass through this gap in the fasciae. Our findings suggest that the retroperitoneal space and peritoneal organs are connected through a narrow no‐fascia area, with the distribution of the fascia relating to nervous and vascular pathways. Our findings reveal that the distribution of the avascular plane may provide a crucial anatomical foundation for abdominal digestive organ surgery by reducing bleeding volume and determining the dissection region.

AbstractAimTo identify and appraise the quality of evidence of transitional care interventions on quality of life in lung cancer patients.BackgroundQuality of life is a strong predictor of survival. The transition from hospital to home is a high‐risk period for patients' readmission and death, which seriously affect their quality of life.DesignSystematic review and meta‐analysis.MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and CINAHL databases were searched from inception to 22 October 2022. The primary outcome was quality of life. Statistical analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4, results were expressed as standard mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool. This study was complied with PRISMA guidelines and previously registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023429464).ResultsFourteen randomized controlled trials were included consisting of a total of 1700 participants, and 12 studies were included in the meta‐analysis. It was found that transitional care interventions significantly improved quality of life (SMD = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.40, p = .03) and helped reduce symptoms (SMD = −0.65, 95% CI: −1.13 to −0.18, p = .007) in lung cancer patients, but did not significantly reduce anxiety and depression, and the effect on self‐efficacy was unclear.ConclusionsThis study shows that transitional care interventions can improve quality of life and reduce symptoms in patients, and that primarily educational interventions based on symptom management theory appeared to be more effective. But, there was no statistically significant effect on anxiety and depression.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThis study provides references for the application of transitional care interventions in the field of lung cancer care, and encourages nurses and physicians to apply transitional care plans to facilitate patients' safe transition from hospital to home.Patient or Public ContributionNo Patient or Public Contribution.

Published: March 2024

AbstractAimsThe underlying mechanism and constitution of spontaneous abortions are complicated and heterogeneous. Many factors, including epigenetic scenarios like micro‐ribonucleic acids (miRNAs, MIRs), can additively affect the progression of pregnancy losses. This study aimed to evaluate whether the expression levels of placental inhibitor and/or activator miRNAs had a difference between the numerically abnormal and normal karyotyped spontaneous abortions.MethodsThe case–control study included 100 spontaneous abortion materials consisting of trophoblastic tissues with 42 disomies (controls), 43 aneuploidies (including trisomy 16, 21, 22, and monosomy X), and 15 triploidies. Disomic abortion materials with XX normal karyotypes were omitted from the study to exclude possible maternal decidual cell contamination. Total RNA isolation was performed with TRIzol™ reagent directly from frozen trophoblastic tissues, and the mature miRNAs were obtained by reverse transcription via quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR). Then, the expression levels of placental activators MIR378a‐5p, MIR376c, MIR195, and inhibitors MIR34a and MIR210 were relatively evaluated using MIR130 as a reference.ResultsThe expression level of placental inhibitor MIR34a was detected to be high in trisomic abortion materials (trisomy 16 and 21) when compared to the disomic ones (p = 0.0324). MIR195 (p = 0.0484) and MIR34a (p = 0.0346) expression levels were increased in numerically abnormal cases with advanced maternal age compared to the disomic ones within all maternal ages.ConclusionsIt seems likely that the high expression level of MIR34a and the coexistence of trisomic abortion materials are quite interrelated with the additive effect of advanced maternal age.

Published: March 2024

AbstractObjectiveThis study documents the importance of grandparents for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) Latinx youth and how cisnormativity shapes these relationship dynamics.BackgroundMost research on LGBTQ+ youth's family relations centers on the parent–child relationship. Grandparents are important for racially marginalized families, particularly Latinx families. Additionally, Latinx LGBTQ+ youth are impacted by precarious familismo—the disparate experiences with family members in which their gender and sexuality are simultaneously accepted and rejected.MethodThe data for this project are from the Family Housing and Me (FHAM) project, a landmark longitudinal study on the impact of non‐parental relatives on the lives of LGBTQ+ youth. This paper analyzes a subsample of 35 qualitative interviews with Latinx LGBTQ+ youth (16–19 years old) who live in South Texas or the Inland Empire of California, the majority of whom are transgender or nonbinary.ResultsGrandparents played an important role in the lives of Latinx LGBTQ+ youth interviewees, including providing many of the positive benefits of familismo. The youth also described “disparate experiences” of precarious familismo in how their grandparents simultaneously attempted identity support of their gender identities and reinforced cisnormativity. Youth often navigated these experiences by expressing low expectations that their grandparents would fully understand their gender identities, which we refer to as generational gender expectations.ConclusionResearch on LGBTQ+ youth should integrate the study of non‐parental relatives to fully understand support networks and family systems for LGBTQ+ youth. Additionally, cisnormativity plays an important role in family life and familismo.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe patients with NSAID‐DILI, including genetic factors associated with idiosyncratic DILI.MethodsIn DILIN, subjects with presumed DILI are enrolled and followed for at least 6 months. Causality is adjudicated by a Delphic approach. HLA sequencing of multiethnic NSAID‐DILI patients and HLA allele imputation of matching population controls were performed following overall, class and drug‐based association analysis. Significant results were tested in a non‐Hispanic White (NHW) case–control replication cohort.ResultsBetween September 2004 and March 2022, causality was adjudicated in 2498, and 55 (41 [75%] women) were assessed as likely due to NSAIDs. Median age at onset was 55 y (range 22–83 y). Diclofenac was the causative drug in 29, celecoxib in 7, ibuprofen in 5, etodolac and meloxicam each in 4. Except for meloxicam and oxaprozin (n = 2), the liver injury was hepatocellular with median R 15–25. HLA‐DRB1*04:03 and HLA‐B*35:03 were significantly more frequent in NSAID‐DILI patients than in non‐NSAID DILI controls. Interestingly, 85% of the HLA‐DRB1*04:03 carriers developed DILI due to the use of acetic acid derivative NSAIDs, supporting the hypothesis that HLA‐DRB1*04:03 could be a drug and/or class risk factor. HLA‐B*35:03 but not HLA‐DRB1*04:03 association was confirmed in the independent NHW replication cohort, which was largely driven by diclofenac.ConclusionsDespite prevalent use, NSAID‐DILI is infrequent in the United States. Diclofenac is the most commonly implicated, and adherence to warnings of risk and close observation are recommended. The increased frequency of HLA‐B*35:03 and DRB1*04:03, driven by diclofenac, suggests the importance of immune‐mediated responses.

AbstractLimited evidence exists on the long‐term effects of early feeding practices on child growth and development. We examined the relationships between infant feeding practices and child height and development at ages 2 and 6–7 years. We studied 885 mother–child dyads from a randomized controlled trial of preconception supplementation in Vietnam. Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF), exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), breastfeeding (BF) duration and minimum dietary diversity (MDD) were assessed using World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Child development was assessed by the Bayley Scales of Infant Development‐III at 2 years and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children® – IV at 6–7 years. Child height‐for‐age z‐score (HAZ) was calculated from child height and age. Multivariable regression and structural equation models were used in analyses that controlled for confounding. EIBF and EBF at 6 months occurred in 52% and 62% of children, respectively. Mean breastfeeding duration was 18 months and 83% achieved MDD at 1 year. EIBF was associated with motor (β = 0.13, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.00, 0.28) and cognitive development at 2 years (β = 0.12, 95% CI: −0.01, 0.26), which in turn were positively associated with cognitive development at 6–7 years. EBF was directly associated with development at 6–7 years (β = 0.21, 95% CI:0.08, 0.34) whereas motor and cognitive development at 2 years explained 41%–75% of the relationship between EIBF and development at 6–7 years. HAZ at 2 years also mediated 70% of the association between MDD at 1 year and HAZ at 6–7 years. BF duration was not associated with child development and HAZ. Early infant feeding practices, especially EIBF and EBF, have important long‐term implications for optimizing child linear growth and cognition as they begin school.
Explaining the GDP trend of oil‐exporting countries during COVID‐19 period: The role of governance, adaptive stringency and fiscal policy
Authors: Ghecham Mahieddine Adnan 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis paper brings to light the factors that played major role in explaining the trend of the economic growth of a number of oil‐exporting countries during the pandemic period, specifically, during the years 2020–2021 and 2022. The results show that the institutional factors, adaptive restrictions as well as the degree of trade openness and the size of government fiscal intervention were major determinants of the trend of the GDP of the countries in question. Based on the findings, the paper recommends some policy measures and highlights important future challenges that test efforts of globalization.
Dietary management ofIgEandnon‐IgE‐mediated food allergies in pediatric patients
Authors: Venter Carina , Roth‐Walter Franziska , Vassilopoulos Emilia , Hicks Allison 
Published: March 2024

AbstractFood allergies (FA) consist of both IgE and non‐IgE‐mediated entities, with varying phenotypes and overlapping and different considerations for each specific disease presentation. In general, all FAs place children at increased risk for inadequate nutritional intake and negative impacts on their nutritional status, as well as negative impacts on the quality of life for the entire family. To minimize these untoward effects, a multidisciplinary approach should be taken, including consultation and management with a dietitian trained in the varying presentations of FA. Families should be instructed on label reading as a first line of nutritional management. During a nutrition consultation, the age of the child, growth, and nutritional status should be considered. Food refusal should be assessed and addressed. Families should be educated on avoidance and appropriate substitutions. In the case of cow's milk allergy, a suitable specialized formula should be suggested if the infant is not breastfed or if breast milk supply is not sufficient. Other mammalian milk should be avoided and careful consideration should be given before plant‐based milk is used in young children. Specific food allergies may differ in terms of advice provided on the level of avoidance required, whether precautionary advisory labels should be avoided, and if a maternal avoidance of the allergen during breastfeeding should be advised. The role of immunonutrition on overall health should be discussed.

AbstractAimDiet, including foods and beverages, affects migraine. Conversely, the influence of migraine therapies on dietary habits is largely unknown. This study aimed at investigating the effects of triptan intake on foods and drinks consumed by adults with migraine with and/or without aura.MethodsAn exploratory questionnaire‐based survey took place online between November 2022 and June 2023. Participants were recruited through advertisements shared on social media accounts (e.g., Facebook and Instagram) and seasonal newsletters of three Danish patient associations. In addition, posters and flyers in headache and pain centers at Danish hospitals and private neurological, pain, and physiotherapeutic clinics were utilized.ResultsA total of 314 adults with migraine with and/or without aura completed the survey. Among the respondents, 236 individuals (75.2%) regularly used triptans to treat their migraines. Compared with non‐triptan users, individuals using triptans were characterized by significantly more foods and/or drinks triggering migraine (74.2% vs. 56.4%, p = 0.005). Alcoholic beverages and most specifically red wine were overreported as migraine triggers by triptan users (48.3% vs. 21.8%, p < 0.001). In the week preceding the survey, red wine was significantly less consumed by triptan users than non‐triptan users (92.4% vs. 76.9%, p < 0.001).ConclusionsPatients who regularly consume triptans report red wine most frequently as a migraine trigger. Triptan users are characterized by a lower consumption of red wine than non‐triptan users, suggesting that a regular triptan intake may promote an increased sensitivity to red wine‐induced migraine.

AbstractPurposeThis study aimed to investigate the predictors of survival of non‐occlusal non‐incisal glass‐ionomer restorations as a surrogate for root surface restorations among older adults.MethodsIn a retrospective cohort analysis using the University of Iowa College of Dentistry electronic dental records, we included 721 patients aged 65+ who received 2+ surface non‐occlusal non‐incisal glass ionomer restorations placed from January 2005 – December 2011. Restorations were followed until September 2017 or until they were deemed to have failed.ResultsAt baseline, participants’ mean age was 77.6 ± 8.2 years, and 45.8% were females. Most patients were self‐pay (65.2%). Most restorations were placed by residents and dental students (82.7%) and included only two surfaces (95.6%). About half (49.1%) failed during follow‐up, with a median survival time of 3.7 years. The time ratio for lower incisors compared to other teeth was 0.6 (p = .006), for three‐and‐four‐surface restorations compared to two was 0.7 (p = .007), for faculty as providers compared to residents and students was 1.4 (p = .039), and for the Geriatric & Special Needs Clinic compared to others was 0.8 (p = .013). Time ratios less than one indicate association with shorter durations for restorations, and time ratios greater than one indicate association with longer durations for restorations.ConclusionTooth type, number of restored surfaces, provider type, and clinic were all significant factors associated with survival of these restorations.

AbstractCommunity gardens, as common spaces where people gather to grow food, help foster public health, greener urban environments, life‐long learning and vibrant communities. However, despite being promoted as sustainable horticulture and conservation agriculture, their soil health and carbon (C) sequestration potential, with implication for climate change mitigation, remains underexplored. This study assessed soil samples collected from raised beds (gardening area) and adjacent bare ground (control) at six community gardens in the Perth metropolitan area, Australia. These sites covered three soil mapping units (SMUs): calcareous deep sands, coloured sand and pale sands The soil in raised beds exhibited superior characteristics than surrounding urban soil including lower bulk density, higher pH buffering capacity, available nutrients including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), cation exchange capacity (CEC), total C and microbial biomass. Notably, we estimated that raised bed soils accumulated significant levels of C in the top 10 cm layer (0.55 kg/m2 or 5.5 T/ha). Our findings also indicate no significant heavy metal contamination in any of the community garden soils. Although the global area of community gardens is marginally small, these results suggest they hold potential for carbon sequestration, especially in urban and peri‐urban environments. The improved soil health and C storage potential in community garden soil are largely attributed to the regular application of compost produced within the community gardens.

Female thermal sensitivity and behaviour across the lifespan: A unique journey
Authors: Filingeri Davide , Blount Hannah , Valenza Alessandro 
Published: March 2024

AbstractWomen are a group of individuals that undergo unique anatomical, physiological and hormonal changes across the lifespan. For example, consider the impact of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause, all of which are accompanied by both short‐ and long‐term effects on female body morphology (e.g., changes in breast size) and temperature regulation, heat tolerance, thermal sensitivity and comfort. However, empirical evidence on how skin thermal and wetness sensitivity might change across the lifespan of women, and the implications that this has for female‐specific thermal behaviours, continues to be lacking. This paper is based on a symposium presentation given at Physiology 2023 in Harrogate, UK. It aims to review new evidence on anatomical and physiological mechanisms underpinning differences in skin thermal and wetness sensitivity amongst women varying in breast size and age, in addition to their role in driving female thermal behaviours. It is hoped that this brief overview will stimulate the development of testable hypotheses to increase our understanding of the behavioural thermal physiology of women across the lifespan and at a time of climate change.
Impact Disturbance Rejection for a Humanoid Robot With Optimal Footstep Regulation Trigger

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Rejecting impact force by adjusting footsteps during walking is crucial for a humanoid robot in an interactive environment. This paper proposes an optimal footstep regulation trigger for an analytic footstep regulation algorithm in the singular-linear-quadratic-preview walking controller framework. The trigger avoids regulating the footstep in every cycle to reduce the computational cost. Moreover, adjusting the footstep at the optimal trigger time achieves lower regulation cost than before and after the optimal trigger time. Before implementing the optimal trigger, we propose a method to identify the impact force occurrence based on the feedback acceleration and zero moment point. After that, a determining function about system states is calculated over time. According to the analysis, the regulation cost meets the minimum when the value of the determining function is null. The moment is taken as the optimal trigger time. The method is demonstrated by experiments with multiple directions of impact forces.
