Zusammenfassung
Ziel Wir berichten von den Affenpocken (Mpox)-Fällen, die mittels Affenpockenvirus (MPXV)-Polymerase-Kettenreaktion (PCR) bestätigt und an der Universitätsklinik für Dermatologie, Venerologie und Allergologie Innsbruck zwischen Mai und August 2022 behandelt wurden.
Methode Es wurden klinische Präsentationen aller Patienten dokumentiert und die Ergebnisse mit anderen Publikationen verglichen.
Ergebnisse Insgesamt wurden 17 Patienten mit einer MPXV vorstellig. Es handelte sich hierbei ausschließlich um Männer, die mit Männern Sex hatten. Das mediane Alter bei Bestätigung der Infektion betrug 35 Jahre. 100% der Patienten litten an Allgemeinsymptomen und 94% entwickelten im Verlauf Hautläsionen. Eine Übertragung der Infektion erfolgte in den allermeisten Fällen durch engen Körperkontakt. Bei 18% der beschriebenen Patienten kam es zu einer Koinfektion mit einer sexuell übertragbaren Erkrankung. 35% hatten in den letzten 6 Wochen vor dem positiven MPXV PCR-Test eine Syphilis-, Chlamydien- oder Gonokokkeninfektion. Bei 23% der Patienten war eine HIV- Infektion bekannt und 53% nahmen zum Zeitpunkt der Infektion eine HIV-Präexpositionsprophylaxe (PrEP).
Schlussfolgerung Wir können in dieser Arbeit aufzeigen, dass trotz des kleinen Patientenkollektivs die Daten der beschriebenen Patienten sehr gut mit größeren Studien vergleichbar sind. Entgegen der bisher bekannten Tier-zu-Mensch-Übertragung des endemisch in Afrika auftretenden Orthopox-Virus Typ MPXV kam es im weltweiten Ausbruch 2022 hauptsächlich zu Übertragungen durch sexuellen Kontakt zwischen Menschen. Somit ist ein zusätzliches Screening auf andere sexuell übertragbare Erkrankungen bei Patienten mit einer MPXV unumgänglich.
Chemoembolization Beyond Hepatocellular Carcinoma: What Tumors Can We Treat and When?
Authors: DePietro Daniel M. , Li Xin , Shamimi-Noori Susan M. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractLiver metastases are the most common malignancy found in the liver and are 20 to 40 times more common than primary hepatic tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients with liver metastases often present with advanced disease and are not eligible for curative-intent surgery or ablative techniques. The unique hepatic arterial blood supply of liver metastases allows interventional radiologists to target these tumors with transarterial therapies. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been studied in the treatment of liver metastases originating from a variety of primary malignancies and has demonstrated benefits in terms of hepatic progression-free survival, overall survival, and symptomatic relief, among other benefits. Depending on the primary tumor from which they originate, liver metastases may have different indications for TACE, may utilize different TACE regimens and techniques, and may result in different post-procedural outcomes. This review offers an overview of TACE techniques and specific considerations in the treatment of liver metastases, provides an in-depth review of TACE in the treatment of liver metastases originating from colorectal cancer, neuroendocrine tumor, and uveal melanoma, which represent some of the many tumors beyond hepatocellular carcinoma that can be treated by TACE, and summarizes data regarding when one should consider TACE in their treatment algorithms.
Intra-arterial Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy for the Treatment of Hepatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Metastases: Hope or Hype?
Authors: Khanjyan Michael V. , Fidelman Nicholas 
Published: March 2024

AbstractPeptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) confers significant progression-free survival advantage for patients with small bowel grade 1 and 2 well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (WD NET). PRRT may also be clinically beneficial for patients with NET of pancreatic, bronchial, and other sites of origin; patients with paragangliomas; as well as for patients with well-differentiated grade 3 NET. Direct intra-arterial (IA) administration of PRRT into the hepatic artery for patients with NET liver metastases may result in higher radiopharmaceutical dose and longer dwell time in the liver tumors while relatively sparing non-tumor liver tissue and other organs such as the kidneys and bone marrow when compared with intravenous (IV) administration. This review summarizes currently available data on IA and IV PRRT dose distribution, reports safety and efficacy of IA PRRT, and proposes future research questions.
“Different names for the same thing”? Novelty, expectations, and performative nominalism in personalized and precision medicine
Authors: Galasso Ilaria , Erikainen Sone , Pickersgill Martyn , Testa Giuseppe 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis paper explores the complementary and contrasting uses of the terms ‘personalized medicine’ and ‘precision medicine’ in denotations of a biomedical approach attentive to individual specificities that harnesses genomics and other data-intensive profiling technologies. Drawing on qualitative interviews conducted with biomedical experts in the context of the Precision Medicine Initiative in the United States and the 100,000 Genomes project in the United Kingdom, we read definitional reflection and debate through the lens of the sociologies of expectations and novelty. We observed two key aspects in the shift from ‘personalized medicine’ to ‘precision medicine’ that has been especially prevalent in the United States. First, the term ‘precision medicine’ enables its proponents to rhetorically depart from the idea that this approach to medicine can be expected to deliver individually personalized treatments—an expectation that is seen as unrealistic by many. Second, it enables its proponents to assert that personalization, when understood as caring about the patient as an individual person, is not a new approach to medicine but rather something that many medical professionals have always aimed to do (eliding in the process other experiences of US healthcare as, for instance, alienating and discriminatory). We argue that the shift from ‘personalized’ to ‘precision’ medicine can be regarded as a manifestation of performative nominalism: an attribution of ‘newness’ that contributes to performing and propelling innovation, rather than solely reflecting it. In so doing, rhetorical demarcations between personalized and precision medicine emerge as performatively contributing to the production of different biomedical ontologies.
How does social capital promote consumer participation in food safety governance? Evidence from online food consumers in China
Authors: Su Yiqing , Zhang Shifei , Li Yanyan , Yu Hailong 
Published: March 2024

AbstractConsumer participation is critical to achieving successful food safety governance. However, in the field of food safety governance, consumer participation faces the dilemma of collective action. Based on social capital theory, this study introduces a total of 1229 questionnaires from online food consumers in China were collected by randomly distributing electronic questionnaires to online shoppers, and tests the effect and mechanism of social capital on consumer participation in food safety governance. By using ordered regression and multinomial logit models, the empirical results show that social capital can reduce the adverse effects of free-riding on consumers’ participation in food safety governance and in fact will ultimately encourage consumers to participate in food safety governance. Furthermore, social capital will enhance people’s participation in food safety governance through two paths: promoting consumers’ sharing of food safety information and promoting consumers’ direct supply of safe food. The conclusion of this paper provides inspiration for the promotion of consumer participation in the public affairs related to food safety governance in developing countries.
Identification of the network structure of the Hebrew Bible texts based upon the notion of the otherworld and the afterlife

Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we apply the methods of graph theory to reveal hidden relations within the corpus of the Hebrew Bible texts. The structure of relations between different texts was studied based upon their interpretation of the otherworld and the afterlife. We have identified 43 most relevant texts that contained concepts related to the notion of the otherworld and constructed a graph representing the relations between the considered texts. The obtained graph was decomposed into 3 densely connected subgraphs using the Louvain method. An initial interpretation has been given to the results of the decomposition. Furthermore, we used different ranking methods to determine the most important texts forming the network structure of the intertextual connections. It turned out that there is an invariant set of texts that can be interpreted as having the larger influence or importance on the development of the idea of the otherworld. These texts are Proto-Isaiah, Qoheleth, Job, Psalms, and Proverbs as well as 1 Samuel, Ezekiel, and Book of Genesis. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the notions, associated with these texts, reveals that there are several concepts that are likely to be associated with the most influential texts.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
An effective approach to high-sensitivity magnetic field detection under low-frequency excitation by soft magnetic ribbons and a rectangular solenoid is proposed and certificated. The solenoid wound by nonmagnetic copper wire is located at the geometric center region of the soft magnetic ribbons that act as the magnetic core. The proposed magnetic sensor utilizes the nonlinear magnetization of soft magnetic ribbons and the magneto-inductive effect and proximity effect of the solenoid, exhibiting significant impedance variation at a relatively low frequency. The impedance ratio and impedance sensitivity of the prototype reaches the maximum value of 5630% and 570% Oe−1 at 500 kHz, which is far superior to the conventional giant magneto-impedance (GMI) magnetic sensor and planar coil laminated GMI magnetic sensor. The investigation indicates the fabricated magnetic sensor with optimal dimension parameters can provide a sensitivity of 3329 mV Oe−1 at 500 kHz. More importantly, the proposed prototype is particularly suitable for micromachining, providing the possibility for manufacturing high-sensitivity micro-magnetic sensors.

Abstract
We present a lattice QCD analysis of the Δ-baryon spectrum, with the goal of finding the position of the 2s radial excitation of the Δ(1232) ground state. Using smeared three-quark operators in a correlation matrix analysis, we report masses for the ground, first and second excited states of the J

. We identify the lowest lying state as being a 1s state, consistent with the well known Δ(1232). The first excitation is identified as a 2s state, but is found to have a mass of approximately 2.15 GeV on our ∼3 fm lattice, which does not appear to be associated with the Δ(1600) resonance in a significant manner. We also report on the spin-1/2 and odd-parity states accessible via our methods. The large excitation energies of the radial excitations provide a potential resolution to the long-standing missing baryon resonances problem.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
In recent years, the rapid development of smart wearable devices has resulted in significant advances in flexible pressure sensors, which have found application in speech recognition, health monitoring, as well as motion tracking. There is, however, still a significant challenge associated with the low-cost preparation of flexible pressure sensors with high sensitivity and permeability. An innovative nonwoven-based flexible pressure sensor is presented in this paper consisting of a conductive sensing layer composed of reduced graphene oxide-treated polyester hydrophilic nonwoven, an electrode layer comprised of carbon nanotube-printed polyester plain nonwoven electrodes, and a top pressure layer composed of hydroentangled viscose dome structure nonwoven. The pressure sensor exhibits high sensitivity (5.43% kPa−1 in the range of 0–10.12 kPa), excellent permeability (807.2 mm s−1), rapid response and recovery time (73/73 ms), a wide sensing range (0–185 kPa), and remarkable cycling durability (∼20,000 cycles). The sensor exhibits superhydrophobic properties, as indicated by a water contact angle of up to 155°. Based on its commendable performance, the sensor demonstrates the capability to discern various pressure signals, enabling the potential for encrypted transmission of military information. Additionally, it proves valuable in applications such as health monitoring and motion tracking. Consequently, the flexible pressure sensor has significant potential for application in areas such as data encryption, health monitoring, and motion detection.
Matter waves and clocks do not observe uniform gravitational fields
Authors: Asenbaum Peter , Overstreet Chris , Kasevich Mark A 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
In a uniform gravitational field, classical test objects fall universally. Any reference object or observer will fall in the same universal manner. Therefore, a uniform gravitational field cannot create dynamics between observers and classical test objects. The influence of a uniform gravitational field on matter waves and clocks, however, is described inconsistently throughout research and education. To illustrate, we discuss the behavior of a matter-wave interferometer and a clock redshift experiment in a uniform gravitational field. As a consistent formulation of the equivalence principle implies, a uniform gravitational field has no observable influence on these systems and is physically equivalent to the absence of gravity.
The multiplayer generalizations of Frackiewicz and Li-Du-Massar quantum schemes
Authors: Wang Nengfa , Yang Zhe 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Drawing inspiration from the Frackiewicz and Li-Du-Massar quantum schemes, we provide some multiplayer generalizations of their techniques. Initially, we introduce a multiplayer version of the Frackiewicz quantum scheme, and give quantum Cournot oligopoly games with both three and n players. Our findings indicate that quantum equilibrium profits decrease monotonically with increasing entanglement levels of environments participated by oneself, but increase monotonically with the entanglement levels of other players. Subsequently, we present a multiplayer extension of the Li-Du-Massar quantum scheme, and analyze quantum Cournot oligopoly games with three and n players. We observe that quantum equilibrium profit exhibits a positive correlation with entanglement levels. Furthermore, the quantum equilibrium quantity and profit exhibit a negative correlation with the number of players for both multiplayer quantum schemes.
WIMP constraints from black hole low-mass X-ray binaries
Authors: Kar Arpan , Kim Hyomin , Kim Sang Pyo , Scopel Stefano 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The abnormally fast orbital decay observed in the black hole (BH) Low-Mass X-ray
binaries (BH-LMXB) A0620-00 and XTE J1118+480 can be explained by the dynamical friction between
Dark Matter (DM) and the companion star orbiting around the low-mass BH (≃ a few M
⊙) of the system. In this case the value of the index γ
sp of the DM spike
surrounding the BH can be pinned down with an accuracy of ≃ a few percent, way better than
that for much bigger systems such as the super massive BHs (SMBHs) in the Galactic Center or in
M87. We have used data from XTE J1118+480 to put bounds on the WIMP annihilation cross section
times velocity ⟨σv⟩, assuming that DM annihilation is driven by the χχ → bb̅ annihilation channel and that it proceeds in s-wave. The bounds
are driven by the radio synchrotron signal produced by e
± final states propagating in the
magnetic field in the vicinity of the BH. We find that for DM masses m
χ up to the TeV scale
XTE J1118+480 allows to constrain ⟨σv⟩ well below the standard value ⟨σv⟩thermal, corresponding to the observed DM relic density in the
Universe for a thermal WIMP. On the other hand, for m
χ ≳ 15 GeV, the bounds from the
SMBHs in the GC or in M87 do not reach ⟨σv⟩thermal when the very large
uncertainties on the corresponding spike indices are taken into account, in spite of potentially
producing much larger DM densities compared to XTE J1118+480. Our bounds for XTE J1118+480 have a
mild sensitivity on the effect of spatial diffusion (which implies at most a weakening of the
bounds of a factor ≲ 6 at large m
χ). However, diffusion is instrumental in
enhancing the sensitivity of the results upon the intensity of the magnetic field. In particular,
our bounds rest on the assumption that the magnetic field B reaches the equipartition value B
eq. We find that a reduction factor of the magnetic field B
eq/B larger than
about 14 at low m
χ, becoming progressively smaller at higher WIMP masses, would be
sufficient to relax the XTE J1118+480 bound to the level of other existing bounds. Recent
estimates, albeit not conclusive, may suggest values of B
eq/B in BH-LMXB systems as
large as 20. This implies that the intensity of the magnetic field in BH-LMXB systems represents
the major uncertainty in using them as an alternative to heavier BHs to search for WIMPs.
Limits on clustering and smooth quintessence from the EFTofLSS
Authors: D'Amico Guido , Donath Yaniv , Senatore Leonardo , Zhang Pierre 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
We apply the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure (EFTofLSS) to analyze
cosmological models with clustering quintessence, which allows us to consistently describe the
parameter region in which the quintessence equation of state w < -1. First, we extend the
description of biased tracers in redshift space to the presence of clustering quintessence, and
compute the one-loop power spectrum. We solve the EFTofLSS equations using the exact time
dependence, which is relevant to obtain unbiased constraints. Then, fitting the full shape of BOSS
pre-reconstructed power spectrum measurements, the BOSS post-reconstruction BAO measurements, BAO
measurements from 6DF/MGS and eBOSS, the Supernovae from Pantheon, and a prior from BBN, we bound
the clustering quintessence equation of state parameter w = -1.011-0.048
+0.053 at 68%
C.L. Further combining with Planck, we obtain w = -1.028-0.030
+0.037 at 68% C.L. We
also obtain constraints on smooth quintessence, in the physical regime w ≥ -1: combining all
datasets, we get -1 ≤ w < -0.979 at 68% C.L. These results strongly support a cosmological constant.
Electrodynamics with violations of Lorentz and U(1) gauge symmetries and their Hamiltonian structures*
Authors: Yang 杨 Xiu-Peng 秀鹏 , Li 李 Bao-Fei 瀑飞 , Zhu 朱 Tao 涛 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This study aims to investigate Lorentz/U(1) gauge symmetry-breaking electrodynamics in the framework of the standard-model extension and analyze the Hamiltonian structure for the theory with a specific dimension

of Lorentz breaking operators. For this purpose, we consider a general quadratic action of the modified electrodynamics with Lorentz/gauge-breaking operators and calculate the number of independent components of the operators at different dimensions in gauge invariance and breaking. With this general action, we then analyze how Lorentz/gauge symmetry-breaking can change the Hamiltonian structure of the theories by considering Lorentz/gauge-breaking operators with dimension

as examples. We show that the Lorentz-breaking operators with gauge invariance do not change the classes of the theory constrains and the number of physical degrees of freedom of the standard Maxwell electrodynamics. When U(1) gauge symmetry-breaking operators are present, the theories generally lack a first-class constraint and have one additional physical degree of freedom compared to the standard Maxwell electrodynamics.

Abstract

Objective. This study aims to characterize the time course of impedance, a crucial electrophysiological property of brain tissue, in the human thalamus (THL), amygdala-hippocampus, and posterior hippocampus over an extended period. Approach. Impedance was periodically sampled every 5–15 min over several months in five subjects with drug-resistant epilepsy using an investigational neuromodulation device. Initially, we employed descriptive piecewise and continuous mathematical models to characterize the impedance response for approximately three weeks post-electrode implantation. We then explored the temporal dynamics of impedance during periods when electrical stimulation was temporarily halted, observing a monotonic increase (rebound) in impedance before it stabilized at a higher value. Lastly, we assessed the stability of amplitude and phase over the 24 h impedance cycle throughout the multi-month recording. Main results. Immediately post-implantation, the impedance decreased, reaching a minimum value in all brain regions within approximately two days, and then increased monotonically over about 14 d to a stable value. The models accounted for the variance in short-term impedance changes. Notably, the minimum impedance of the THL in the most epileptogenic hemisphere was significantly lower than in other regions. During the gaps in electrical stimulation, the impedance rebound decreased over time and stabilized around 200 days post-implant, likely indicative of the foreign body response and fibrous tissue encapsulation around the electrodes. The amplitude and phase of the 24 h impedance oscillation remained stable throughout the multi-month recording, with circadian variation in impedance dominating the long-term measures. Significance. Our findings illustrate the complex temporal dynamics of impedance in implanted electrodes and the impact of electrical stimulation. We discuss these dynamics in the context of the known biological foreign body response of the brain to implanted electrodes. The data suggest that the temporal dynamics of impedance are dependent on the anatomical location and tissue epileptogenicity. These insights may offer additional guidance for the delivery of therapeutic stimulation at various time points post-implantation for neuromodulation therapy.
