AbstractSARS‐CoV‐2 antibody levels may serve as a correlate for immunity and could inform optimal booster timing. The relationship between antibody levels and protection from infection was evaluated in vaccinated individuals from the US National Basketball Association who had antibody levels measured at a single time point from September 12, 2021, to December 31, 2021. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the risk of infection within 90 days of serologic testing by antibody level (<250, 250–800, and >800 AU/mL1), adjusting for age, time since last vaccine dose, and history of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Individuals were censored on date of booster receipt. The analytic cohort comprised 2323 individuals and was 78.2% male, 68.1% aged ≤40 years, and 56.4% vaccinated (primary series) with the Pfizer‐BioNTech mRNA vaccine. Among the 2248 (96.8%) individuals not yet boosted at antibody testing, 77% completed their primary vaccine series 4–6 months before testing and the median (interquartile range) antibody level was 293.5 (interquartile range: 121.0–740.5) AU/mL. Those with levels <250 AU/mL (adj hazard ratio [HR]: 2.4; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.5–3.7) and 250–800 AU/mL (adj HR: 1.5; 95% CI: 0.98–2.4) had greater infection risk compared to those with levels >800 AU/mL. Antibody levels could inform individual COVID‐19 risk and booster scheduling.

Published: March 2024

AbstractIn recent years, several publications and media outlets have highlighted how the skills and interests of autistic individuals may benefit organizations. However, there is scant empirical research on the topic. The present study's authors conducted a systematic review to find which potential employability skills, strengths, and interests of autistic individuals available research has highlighted. Data extraction methods identified 51 papers related to skills in this population. The skill sets autistic individuals may possess and the research behind these findings were organized, evaluated, and summarized. Based on these findings, investigators discuss implications for employment counseling and future research.

AbstractIn unstable shoulders, excessive anteroinferior position of the humeral head relative to the glenoid can lead to a dislocation. Measuring humeral head position could therefore be valuable in quantifying shoulder laxity. The aim of this study was to measure (1) position of the humeral head relative to the glenoid and (2) joint space thickness during passive motion in unstable shoulders caused by traumatic anterior dislocations and in contralateral uninjured shoulders. A prospective cross‐sectional CT‐study was performed in patients with unilateral anterior shoulder instability. Patients underwent CT scanning of both injured and uninjured side in supine position (0° abduction and 0° external rotation) and in 60°, 90°, and 120° of abduction with 90° of external rotation without an external load. Subsequently, 3D virtual models were created of the humerus and the scapula to create a glenoid coordinate system to identify poster‐anterior, inferior‐superior, and lateral‐medial position of the humeral head relative to the glenoid. Joint space thickness was defined as the average distance between the subchondral bone surfaces of the humeral head and glenoid. Fifteen consecutive patients were included. In supine position, the humeral head was positioned more anteriorly (p = 0.004), inferiorly (p = 0.019), and laterally (p = 0.021) in the injured compared to the uninjured shoulder. No differences were observed in any of the other positions. A joint‐space thickness map, showing the bone‐to‐bone distances, identified the Hill−Sachs lesion footprint on the glenoid surface in external rotation and abduction, but no differences on average joint space thickness were observed in any position.
Fusion information refresh rate improvement based on adaptive visual tracking in vehicle augmented reality sightseeing interactive system

Published: March 2024

AbstractThis paper proposes a dynamic information fusion interactive system with a transparent display applied in the vehicle. The dynamic information fusion interactive system integrates three leading technologies: relative position acquisition, fusion information mapping, and visual field tracking adaptive information generation. For visual field tracking adaptive information generation, the position of fusion information changes as the observer's field of view varies to help observers use this system more comfortably and intuitively. The frame rate of the dynamic virtual information display can be increased from 10 to 20 Hz without increasing the AI computing power and providing observers with a better observer experience. Integrating those technologies could achieve an AR‐based interactive system on a direct‐view transparent display. Such a system can provide passengers with location‐based interactive virtual and real integration information in the mobile field.
Deep eutectic solvent–based pressurized liquid extraction combined with dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction of organophosphorus pesticide residues in egg powder prior to high‐performance liquid chromatography analysis

Published: March 2024

Herein, a deep eutectic solvent (DES)‐based miniaturized pressurized liquid extraction in combination with DES‐based dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) was developed for the extraction of organophosphorus pesticides (parathion–methyl, triazophos, parathion, diazinon, and phoxim) from egg powder samples prior to their analysis by a high‐performance liquid chromatography‐diode array detector. In this work, first, the analytes' extraction was done by a pressurized liquid phase extraction for effective extraction of the analytes from the solid matrix, and then they were concentrated on a DLLME for more concentration of the analytes to reach low limits of detections. The use of DESs was done in both steps to omit the use of toxic organic solvents. Satisfactory results including high extraction recoveries (74–90%), great repeatability (relative standard deviations equal or less than 4.3% and 5.3% for intra‐ and inter‐day precisions), and low limits of detection (0.11–0.29 ng/g) and quantification (0.38–0.98 ng/g) were attained under the optimum conditions. Lastly, the suggested approach was utilized for the determination of the studied pesticides in various egg powder samples marketed in Tabriz, Iran.
Canadian murre harvest management in the face of uncertainty: a potential biological removal approach

Published: March 2024

AbstractHow to manage harvest under great uncertainty is a fundamental question for many wildlife managers, particularly when resources necessary to estimate abundance or population trends are limited. The large Newfoundland and Labrador murre hunt is the only licensed harvest of seabirds in Canada. Though harvest of thick‐billed murres (Uria lomvia) and common murres (Uria aalge) has declined considerably since the 1960−1970s from >500,000 birds taken annually to approximately 100,000 annually in recent years, potential murre colony declines across the North Atlantic have again triggered concerns over the sustainability of murre harvest in Canada. The effect of current harvest is difficult to assess because there is considerable uncertainty in recent population size, trend, demographic rates, licensed harvest, fisheries bycatch, and illegal harvest. To assess the situation, we simulated the population size necessary to sustain current levels of approximated anthropogenic mortality using a potential biological removal approach, which simplifies and constrains population processes to a few key variables. Based on these simulations, the Canadian licensed harvest of thick‐billed murre is consistent with conservation management objectives, as is common murre licensed harvest and fisheries bycatch. Adding estimated illegal harvest resulted in unstainable mortality levels in both species. While wildlife managers will need to formally assess the relative costs and benefits of reducing uncertainty in this system through improved harvest and population monitoring, illegal harvest and commercialization need to be addressed to manage Canadian murre populations. Potential biological removal approaches can be a useful framework to assess harvest management decisions for marine birds and other data‐limited species.

AbstractAs an alternative electron transport material to the chemically unstable ZnO nanoparticles (NPs), SnO2 NPs exhibit a great potential to construct high‐performance quantum dot light‐emitting diodes (QLEDs). However, only moderate device performance has been obtained for SnO2‐based QLEDs due to the low electron mobility, unfavorable energy band, and massive defects of SnO2 NPs. Herein, a strategy of transition metal doping is reported to achieve high‐quality manganese‐doped SnO2 (Mn‐SnO2) NPs to address the above problems. Specifically, the large bond energy of Mn─O bonds reduces the oxygen vacancy defects, prompting an effective suppression of the interfacial exciton quenching for massive radiative recombination. Moreover, the favorable energy band and high electron mobility for Mn‐SnO2 promote efficient electron injection and transportation. The good optoelectronic properties for Mn‐SnO2 NPs contribute to a great enhancement in device efficiency from 8.2 to 11.4% and a remarkable improvement in lifetime (T95) from 565.3 to 1009.2 h at 1000 cd−2, among the best performing ZnO‐free QLEDs. Notably, the Mn‐SnO2 based QLEDs show a very superior shelf stability to the QLEDs based on SnO2 and ZnO analogs. Consequently, this work reports an effective approach to achieve high‐quality SnO2 NPs for efficient and stable QLEDs.

AbstractObjectivesPublic's interest in noninvasive skin rejuvenation treatments continues to grow. The advantage of combination therapy lies in that it can target different aspects of skin rejuvenation. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of microfocused ultrasound (MFU) combined with delicate pulsed light (DPL) for facial rejuvenation.MethodsTwenty‐one patients with facial relaxation were enrolled. All patients received whole‐face MFU treatment, and one side of the face was randomly assigned to receive DPL. MFU treatment was performed at Months 0 and 3, while DPL treatment was performed at Months 1, 2, 4, and 5. The length and angle of the nasolabial fold and perioral wrinkles, melanin index (MI), erythema index (EI), transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and follow‐up time were recorded at Months 0, 3, and 6. Side effects were recorded during treatment and each follow‐up visit.ResultsTwenty patients successfully completed the study. At the sixth month, the average length of perioral wrinkles and nasolabial folds on the combined side decreased by 11.5% (pwithin < 0.001) and 6.5% (pwithin = 0.011), while 8.3% (pwithin = 0.012) and 3.8% (pwithin = 0.02) on the MFU side. Compared with MFU treatment alone, the combined treatment also showed significant improvements in nasolabial fold angle (from 28.8 ± 3.4° to 32.7 ± 5.0°) and perioral wrinkle angle (from 39.3 ± 5.0° to 43.7 ± 5.1°). In addition, the combined side had greater benefits than the MFU side in improving MI, EI, TEWL, and skin elasticity (pbetween < 0.05). Except for one patient who withdrew due to increased skin sensitivity after MFU treatment, other subjects did not experience permanent or serious side effects.ConclusionsThe combination of MFU and DPL for facial rejuvenation treatment is safe and effective. The combined treatment has better efficacy in skin firmness, and improving skin tone.

AbstractAddressing complex tissue infections remains a challenging task because of the lack of effective means, and the limitations of traditional bioantimicrobial materials in single‐application scenarios hinder their utility for complex infection sites. Hence, the development of a bioantimicrobial material with broad applicability and potent bactericidal activity is necessary to treat such infections. In this study, a layered lithium magnesium silicate nanoclay (LMS) is used to construct a nanobactericidal platform. This platform exhibits a sandwich‐like structure, which is achieved through copper ion modification using a dopamine‐mediated metallophenolic network. Moreover, the nanoclay is encapsulated within gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel microspheres for the treatment of complex tissue infections. The results demonstrate that the sandwich‐like micro‐ and nanobactericidal hydrogel microspheres effectively eradicated Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) while exhibiting excellent biocompatibility with bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Furthermore, the hydrogel microspheres upregulated the expression levels of osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis‐related genes in these cells. In vivo experiments validated the efficacy of sandwich‐like micro‐ and nanobactericidal hydrogel microspheres when injected into deep infected tissues, effectively eliminating bacteria and promoting robust vascular regeneration and tissue repair. Therefore, these innovative sandwich‐like micro‐ and nanobacteriostatic hydrogel microspheres show great potential for treating complex tissue infections.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe circadian clock system orchestrates daily behavioral and physiological rhythms, facilitating adaptation to environmental and internal oscillations. Disruptions in circadian rhythms have been linked to increased susceptibility to various diseases and can exacerbate existing conditions. This review delves into the intricate regulation of diurnal gene expression and cell function by circadian clocks across diverse tissues. . Specifically, we explore the rhythmicity of gene expressions, behaviors, and functions in both immune and non‐immune cells, elucidating the regulatory effects and mechanisms imposed by circadian clocks. A detailed discussion is centered on elucidating the complex functions of circadian clocks in regulating key cellular signaling pathways. We further review the circadian regulation in diverse diseases, with a focus on inflammatory diseases, cancers, and systemic diseases. By highlighting the intimate interplay between circadian clocks and diseases, especially through clock‐controlled cell function, this review contributes to the development of novel disease intervention strategies. This enhanced understanding holds significant promise for the design of targeted therapies that can exploit the circadian regulation mechanisms for improved treatment efficacy.

AbstractBackgroundFoslevodopa/foscarbidopa is a subcutaneous infusion of levodopa/carbidopa prodrugs.ObjectivesAssess correlations between sleep and efficacy from interim data of a phase 3 trial of foslevodopa/foscarbidopa (NCT03781167).MethodsPearson correlations between sleep (Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale‐2 [PDSS‐2]) and quality of life (QoL; Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire‐39), motor experiences of daily living (m‐EDL; Movement Disorder Society‐Unified Parkinson's Disease Scale Part II), and “Off”/“On” times were calculated for baseline and week 26 improvements. Regression analyses were adjusted for baseline PDSS‐2 score.ResultsBaseline sleep correlated moderately with QoL (r = 0.44, P < 0.001) and weakly with m‐EDL (r = 0.28; P < 0.001). Sleep improvement weakly correlated with improved “Off” time (r = 0.37; P < 0.001) and QoL (r = 0.36; P < 0.001). Regression analyses demonstrated significant positive associations for improved sleep, “Off” time, QoL, and m‐EDL.ConclusionsImproved sleep with foslevodopa/foscarbidopa was associated with improved QoL and “Off” time.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe glymphatic system is a system of specialized perivascular spaces in the brain that facilitates removal of toxic waste solutes from the brain. Evaluation of glymphatic system function by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has thus far been largely focused on rodents because of the limitations of intrathecal delivery of gadolinium‐based contrast agents to humans. This review discusses MRI methods that can be employed clinically for glymphatic‐related measurements intended for early diagnosis, prevention, and the treatment of various neurological conditions. Although glymphatic system‐based MRI research is in its early stages, recent studies have identified promising noninvasive MRI markers associated with glymphatic system alterations in neurological diseases. However, further optimization in data acquisition, validation, and modeling are needed to investigate the glymphatic system within the clinical setting.

Published: March 2024

AbstractLoneliness has recently been defined as a public health problem, and college students from various cultures are considered a vulnerable group. As college students must cope with new personal, social, and academic challenges, their perceptions regarding their entitlement from their environment, and their gratefulness for the assistance they receive, may make a unique contribution to their experience of loneliness. In the current study we examined the associations between loneliness, gratitude, and two types of entitlement (active and academic) among college students in two countries: Israel and Poland. A total of 313 Israeli students and 275 Polish students completed a series of questionnaires. The results indicated that Israeli students experienced lower levels of loneliness and academic entitlement, and higher levels of active entitlement and gratitude, in comparison to Polish students. The two types of entitlement and gratitude mediated the association between students' country and loneliness. Active entitlement predicted more gratitude, which predicted lower levels of loneliness. However, academic entitlement predicted lower levels of gratitude, which predicted more loneliness. Our focus on entitlement, gratitude, and loneliness offers insights into the understanding of the psychological and social dynamics among college students in two countries, with implications for theoretical understanding and intervention planning in higher education.

Authors: Urbieta Laida 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis article presents an empirical analysis of the non‐financial reporting of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by a sample of 24 best‐in‐class companies across various sectors worldwide. The sample was selected based on a previous screening of SDG reporting by 1360 companies from 97 different countries that pointed to a superficial engagement with the SDGs for the vast majority of the firms (see Heras‐Saizarbitoria, 2022). Employing a qualitative approach to content analysis, this study sheds light on the specific issues related to SDGs and reported by the best‐in‐class companies. Implications for managers, public policymakers, and other stakeholders are also examined.
Medical students' perspectives on transgender care legislation and its impact on medical residency applications

Published: March 2024

AbstractMany states have introduced bills restricting healthcare for transgender and gender‐diverse (TGD) individuals. This may prompt medical students to seek residency training in other states, exacerbating TGD healthcare disparities. We assessed medical students' perspectives on legislation prohibiting gender transition procedures (GTP) and how this affects residency applications. We analyzed responses from medical students at a Midwest institution, including demographics, knowledge of GTP legislation, impact on future training and practice, and agreement with proposed legislation. Respondents shared factors influencing their feelings about applying for residency in states that restrict GTP, as well as considerations informing their position about regulations. 36.8% consider GTP legislation important for residency applications. 60.5% think this will impact their future practice. 57.3% are against restricting GTP for minors, and 82.7% for adults. Factors influencing residency applications were LGBTQ+ safety (38.5%), government interference (33.3%), education/training (33.3%), neutral (20.5%), and against GTP (15.4%). Factors informing position on GTP were best practices (71.8%), consent (30.8%), government interference (30.8%), and need more data (7.7%). Most students surveyed were against the restriction of GTP, and legislation prohibiting GTP may drive physicians to other states. Responses also highlighted knowledge gaps about GTP, which may improve with additional training.
