The influence of trauma symptoms on interpersonal attributions in daily life
Authors: Dowgwillo Emily A. , Ruchensky Jared R. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThere is well‐documented evidence that trauma exposure can disrupt relationships. However, limited research has examined whether posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) moderate interpersonal processes in daily life. To this end, undergraduates (N = 98) completed a measure of PTSS at baseline. They then completed smartphone‐based surveys after every interpersonal interaction that lasted longer than 3 min. for 10 days. These surveys assessed perceptions of self and other agency and communion as well as feelings of rejection, neglect, abandonment, worthlessness, emptiness, guilt, and shame. Results of multilevel modeling suggest that interpersonal perception and PTSS predicted 10%–26% of the variance in outcomes. Regarding agency, more agentic participants reported higher levels of negative attributions, γs = .47–.56. Participants also reported higher rejection and guilt when they experienced their interaction partner as more agentic than usual, γs = .07, and PTSS did not moderate these associations. For communal perceptions, participants who experienced themselves and others as warmer than other participants reported fewer negative outcomes, γs = −.44–−.58. Individuals also reported more negative outcomes when they experienced themselves and others as warmer than they usually did, γs = −.10–−.28, and PTSS moderated these associations. The negative associations between self‐ and other communion ratings and feelings of neglect, abandonment, and shame were stronger in individuals with higher PTSS scores. Together, these findings support continued efforts to understand the ways in which trauma exposure and PTSS disrupt interpersonal dynamics in daily life.

Published: March 2024

ObjectiveAnastomotic complications after tracheal resection/cricotracheal resection (TR/CTR), such as granulation tissue formation, can lead to severe morbidity. The off‐label use of nebulized ciprofloxacin‐dexamethasone (Ciprodex) for granulation tissue prophylaxis has anecdotally been used after TR/CTR, especially in pediatric patients. However, its use in the adult population, and its safety and side effect profile post‐TR/CTR has not been reported. This study aims to characterize the incidence of adverse side effects associated with nebulized Ciprodex in post‐TR/CTR patients.MethodsA retrospective review of all patients who underwent TR/CTR from June 2015 to July 2023 was performed. The use of nebulized Ciprodex (1 mL ciprofloxacin‐dexamethasone 0.3%–0.1% otic suspension in 4 mL normal saline) while inpatient was evaluated. Potential side effects were defined as oral thrush, ageusia, arthralgia, and allergic reaction, and were recorded for all patients.ResultsSeventy‐three patients underwent TR/CTR from June 2015 to July 2023. Of these, 53 (72.6%) had documented Ciprodex administration during their postoperative course. One (1.9%) patient reported at least one side effect, including one instance of skin rash (1.9%) and one instance of allergic reaction (1.9%). There were no other side effects attributed to Ciprodex use.ConclusionsThe incidence of side effects related to the use of nebulized Ciprodex is felt to be minimal in post‐TR/CTR. Although Ciprodex may have the potential to treat granulation tissue in the airway, further studies are needed to verify its efficacy and safety.Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 134:3695–3697, 2024

Authors: Fang Dan , Liu Yi‐Tao , Ding Bin , Greiner Andreas 
Published: March 2024

AbstractElectrospun sponges with electrical conductivity are promising materials for electrodes with applications in pressure sensors, flexible wearable sensors, and supercapacitors. However, electrospun sponges display poor electric conductivity, which can be increased by the addition of silver nanowire (AgNW). The resulting electric conductivity may depend strongly on the distribution of the AgNW in and on the sponges. A straightforward assembly method for an elastic conductive sponge, composed of 3D structures and metal nanowires, using a synergistic strategy which involves modified impregnation and deposition processes assisted by polyethyleneimine (PEI) impregnation, is presented. The resulting changes in the material properties are also explored, and it is under specific conditions, that percolation, leading to significantly enhanced electrical conductivity in the sponges, is achieved.

Published: March 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo highlight the incidence and management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with gastric cancer undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, emphasizing the need for early detection and intervention in this high‐risk population.Patients and methodsWe presented a case of a 71‐year‐old male patient with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the gastric antrum, clinical stage cT4N2M0, phase III, with no prior history of chronic diseases or cardiovascular risk factors. The patient was treated with a combination of ICI therapy (sintilimab) and chemotherapy using the albumin‐bound paclitaxel combined with S1 regimen. Following therapy, he developed symptoms and diagnostic findings consistent with ACS, which was managed with percutaneous coronary stenting.ResultsThe patient's presentation with ACS during ICI therapy underscored the potential cardiovascular risks associated with cancer treatments, particularly in patients without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Management involved collaboration between oncologists and cardiologists, leading to successful coronary stenting and continuation of antitumor therapy.ConclusionACS is a significant risk in patients with malignancies undergoing ICI therapy, even in those without prior cardiovascular disease. Early recognition and management of ACS in this context are crucial to enable the continuation of cancer treatment and improve patient outcomes. This case underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in managing complex patients with concurrent cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Redundant nerve roots on magnetic resonance imaging can predict ongoing denervation in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis
Authors: Park Seoyeong , Hong Sung Hwan , Chung Sun Gun , Kim Keewon 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIntroduction/AimsRedundant nerve roots (RNRs) are abnormally elongated and tortuous nerve roots that develop secondary to degenerative spinal stenosis. RNRs have been associated with poorer clinical outcomes after decompression surgery; however, studies on their clinical characteristics are limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between RNRs and denervation potentials, that is, abnormal spontaneous activity (ASA), on electromyography.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed data of patients who underwent an electrodiagnostic study of the lower extremities between January 2020 and March 2023. Of these, patients with lumbar central spinal stenosis, as seen on magnetic resonance imaging, were included. We analyzed clinical and imaging data, including presence of ASA, and compared them according to the presence of RNRs. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was employed to identify factors associated with development of ASA.ResultsAmong the 2003 patients screened, 193 were included in the study. RNRs were associated with advanced age (p < .001), longer symptom duration (p = .009), smaller cross‐sectional area of the dural sac at the stenotic level (p < .001), and higher frequency of ASA (p < .001). Higher probability of ASA was correlated with greater RNR severity (p < .001). In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, ASA occurrence was associated with smaller cross‐sectional area, multiple stenotic sites, and severe‐grade RNRs.DiscussionThe presence of RNRs, particularly severe‐grade RNRs, was identified as a significant risk factor for the development of ASA on electromyography. This finding may aid physicians in estimating the prognosis of patients with central spinal stenosis.

Published: March 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe objective was to determine the effects of older age on hearing preservation after cochlear implantation (CI), and whether steroids improve hearing preservation in older animals. We hypothesized greater hearing preservation would be observed in (1) young animals compared to older animals and (2) older animals receiving steroids compared to no steroids. The secondary objective was to assess levels of fibrosis utilizing optical coherence tomography (OCT).Study DesignExperimental Animal Study.SettingLaboratory.MethodsThree groups of guinea pigs: young (YCI; 8.5 ± 0.5 weeks; n = 10), old (OCI; 19.1 ± 1.0 months; n = 9) and old + steroids (OCI+S; 19.1 ± 1.0 months; n = 9) underwent CI. The OCI+S group received a steroid taper over 7 days starting 2 days before surgery to 4 days after. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) measurements were performed preoperatively and postoperatively. OCT imaging was performed to assess cochleae for extent of fibrotic tissue growth in the scala tympani.ResultsThe YCI group had significantly better hearing preservation as measured by smaller increases in ABR thresholds [mean shift: 2.79 ± 0.66] compared to the OCI group [mean shift = 12.44 ± 5.6]. The OCI+S group had significantly better hearing preservation [2.66 ± 1.50] compared to the OCI group. No significant differences was seen in fibrosis across groups.ConclusionsYoung animals and older animals that received steroids had better hearing after CI than older animals not given steroids, but hearing preservation was not correlated with the level of fibrosis assessed using OCT. This work is the first to investigate differences in hearing preservation by age in an animal model, and supports the protective effects of steroids on hearing preservation in older individuals.

AbstractIn the present research, waste polyethylene (WPE)/Bi2O3 composites have been investigated as lightweight, inexpensive, and nontoxic lead‐free γ‐ray shielding materials. Different WPE‐based composites were prepared with varying concentrations of Bi2O3 (30 and 40 phr). The effect of adding ZnO and CuO nanoparticles (NPs) inside the WPE/Bi2O3 (30) matrix was studied by incorporating 10 phr of NPs inside it. The nanocomposites' structural, thermal, and mechanical properties and competence in shielding against γ‐radiation are studied. The outcomes revealed that the mechanical properties of the pristine WPE were enhanced after incorporating Bi2O3 by 30 phr, and then it worsened after increasing the Bi2O3 ratio to 40 phr. In contrast, better mechanical properties were obtained for those composites with NPs, where the maximum tensile strength (16.2 MPa) was recorded for the WPE/Bi2O3/CuO composite (higher than WPE by 47.27%). Numbers of parameters like μm, HVL (half‐value layer), TVL (tenth value layer), RPE%, and percentage of heaviness can denote the efficiency of shielding properties of composites at 662 KeV from 137Cs point source. It was found that μm and RPE% reach the maximum value for WPE/Bi2O3 (40 phr). Adding NPs decreases μm of WPE/Bi2O3 (30) slightly.Highlights
Composites based on waste polyethylene (WPE)/Bi2O3 (30 and 40 phr) were fabricated.
Nano CuO and ZnO improved the mechanical properties of WPE/Bi2O3 (30).
WPE/Bi2O3 (40) composites show the best shielding characteristics.
Nano CuO and ZnO slightly decreased μm of WPE/Bi2O3 (30).

AbstractIn this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) are synthesized and combined with chitosan (Cs) to create Cs/ZnO‐NPs nanomicelles, aiming to investigate their potential as a novel cancer treatment. The ZnO‐NPs are produced through a sintering process at temperatures ranging from 300 to 700 °C. The most effective nanoparticles are obtained at 600 °C, as determined by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses, which confirmed their crystallinity and purity. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are employed to characterize the size and shape of the nanoparticles, revealing predominantly spherical and hexagonal structures with stable dimensions. The cytotoxic effects of the Cs/ZnO‐NPs are evaluated against various cancer cell types. The results show that at a concentration of 125 µg mL−1, the Cs/ZnO‐NPs demonstrate significantly higher cancer cell toxicity compared to ZnO‐NPs alone, while remaining non‐toxic to normal cells. This indicates that Cs/ZnO‐NPs have a superior ability to selectively target cancer cells. These findings suggest that Cs/ZnO‐NPs nanomicelles hold promise as an effective and safe nanotherapeutic approach in the realm of cancer treatment, meriting further exploration for clinical applications.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesThe SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic shifted medical training programs to utilize virtual interviews (VIs) starting with the 2020 interview cycle. Fellowship interviews continue in the virtual format. It is unknown how this shift has affected equity for applicants as compared to in‐person interviews. Equity in this study includes consideration of the opportunity for an applicant to accept, access, and conduct a VI. This study assessed pediatric pulmonary fellows' perception of equity associated with VIs and preferences for future cycles.MethodsAn anonymous survey link was emailed to Pediatric Pulmonology Program Directors to disseminate to incoming and first‐year pediatric pulmonary fellows who participated in the 2022–2023 and 2021–2022 VI seasons. Responses were summarized by frequency and percentages. Inductive coding was used to thematically analyze free‐text responses.ResultsNearly 30% of eligible incoming and first‐year pulmonary fellows (n = 35/119, 29.4%) completed the survey. Seventy‐four percent felt that VIs reduce inequities as compared to in‐person interviews. Sixty percent felt that VIs were the most equitable format, and 51% chose a VI as their preferred future format. Important practice considerations to promote equity for future VIs included providing applicants with instruction for the expected dress code, followed by providing applicants with virtual technology (91% and 89% of respondents ranked as at least “somewhat important,” respectively).ConclusionVIs were perceived as a more equitable interview format by pediatric pulmonology fellows compared to in‐person interviews in our study. To increase equity for VIs, program directors can consider additional adaptations such as providing standardized instruction for dress code and providing the required technology.

AbstractPulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a rare and critical malignancy‐related disease characterized by acute progressive pulmonary hypertension (PH). In most cases of PTTM, the cancer can be diagnosed in advance. Identification of the primary cancer is valuable for PTTM diagnosis. Here, we present the case of a patient with PTTM due to early gastric carcinoma in whom the diagnosis of malignant cancer was not revealed until macroscopic autopsy findings. This case highlights the importance of recognizing causative occult early gastric cancer leading to PTTM in cases of acute progressive PH.
Exponential stability of fractional‐order uncertain systems with asynchronous switching and impulses
Authors: Zhang Jinsen , Nie Xiaobing 
Published: March 2024

AbstractDifferent from the Mittag–Leffler stability or asymptotic stability, the exponential stability issue, which provides faster and explicit convergence rate, is studied in this paper for fractional‐order uncertain systems with asynchronous switching and impulses, where the impulsive functions rely on not only switching modes but also impulsive time. Instead of using the inequality , by utilizing the theory of fractional‐order differential equations, the methods of Lyapunov function and mathematical induction, some novel and less‐conservative stability criteria are developed, respectively, for the case of switched stable subsystems or switched unstable subsystems. The obtained results build a tradeoff between impulsive function, impulsive interval, average dwell time and fractional order. In addition, our results with are also novel in contrast with the ones of integer‐order switched impulsive systems. Finally, five numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of theoretical results.

Published: March 2024

AbstractPhotoluminescence (PL) blinking of nanoparticles, while detrimental to their imaging applications, may benefit next‐generation displays if the blinking is precisely controlled by reversible electron/hole injections from an external source. Considerable efforts are made to create well‐characterized charged excitons within nanoparticles through electrochemical charging, which has led to enhanced control over PL‐blinking in numerous instances. Manipulating the photocharging/discharging rates in nanoparticles by surface engineering can represent a straightforward method for regulating their blinking behaviors, an area largely unexplored for perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs). This work shows facet engineering leading to different morphologies of PNCs characterized by distinct blinking patterns. For instance, examining the PL intensity trajectories of single PNCs, representing the instantaneous photon count rate over time, reveals that the OFF‐state population significantly increases as the number of facets increases from six to twenty‐six. This study suggests that extra‐faceted PNCs, owing to their polar facets and expanded surface area, render them more susceptible to photocharging, which results in larger OFF‐state populations. Furthermore, the fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) study unveils that the augmented propensity for photocharging in extra‐faceted PNCs can also originate from their greater tendency to form complexes with neighboring molecules.

AbstractEnergy‐efficient white light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) are in high demand across the society. Despite the significant advancements in the modern lighting industry based on solid‐state electronics and inorganic phosphor, solid‐state lighting (SSL) continues to pursue improved efficiency, saturated color performance, and longer lifetime. Here in this article, robust, narrow emission band nanorods (NRs) are disclosed with tailored wavelengths, aiming to enhance the color rendering index (CRI) and luminous efficacy (LE). The fabricated lighting device consists of NRs of configuration CdSe/ZnxCd1‐xS/ZnS, which can independently tune CRI R1‐R9 values and maximize the luminous efficacy. For general lighting, NRs with quantum yield (QY) up to 96% and 99% are developed, resulting in ultra‐efficient LEDs reaching a record high luminous efficacy of 214 lm W−1 (certified by the National Accreditation Service). Furthermore, NRs are deployed onto mid‐power (0.3 W@ 50 mA) LEDs, showing significantly enhanced long‐term stability (T95 = 400 h @ 50 mA). With these astonishing properties, the proposed NRs can pave the way for efficient lighting with desired optical spectrum.

Published: March 2024

AbstractPolyolefin separators are the most commonly used separators for lithium batteries; however, they tend to shrink when heated, and their Li+ transference number (t Li+) is low. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are expected to solve the above problems due to their high thermal stability, abundant pore structure, and open metal sites. However, it is difficult to prepare high‐porosity MOF‐based membranes by conventional membrane preparation methods. In this study, a high‐porosity free‐standing MOF‐based safety separator, denoted the BCM separator, is prepared through a nano‐interfacial supramolecular adhesion strategy. The BCM separator has a large specific surface area (450.22 m2 g−1) and porosity (62.0%), a high electrolyte uptake (475 wt%), and can maintain its morphology at 200 °C. The ionic conductivity and t Li+ of the BCM separator are 1.97 and 0.72 mS cm−1, respectively. Li//LiFePO4 cells with BCM separators have a capacity retention rate of 95.07% after 1100 cycles at 5 C, a stable high‐temperature cycling performance of 300 cycles at 80 °C, and good capacity retention at −40 °C. Li//NCM811 cells with BCM separators exhibit significantly improved rate performance and cycling performance. Pouch cells with BCM separators can work at 120 °C and have good safety at high temperature.

AbstractThe inaugural Who Went Where in Supply Chain Management (SCM) survey replicates the 19‐year format from the highly successful American Marketing Association (AMA) Doctoral Special Interest Group. Results provide data about newly minted doctoral graduates in the job‐seeking stage of their doctoral programs. The report is based on their responses and offers insight into the competitiveness of doctoral applicants as they sought starting positions. We adapted the AMA survey report to the field of SCM. As the new researchers and academics with SCM doctorates place themselves into academic and nonacademic positions, the report seeks to provide (1) awareness to PhD students on how to prepare and be competitive in the job market and (2) offer acumen to academic leaders to equip doctoral students and shape their doctoral program requirements to enhance competitiveness.
