Abstract
Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) is caused by the presence of a supernumerary X-chromosome (conferring the classical 47,XXY karyotype) and is the commonest sex chromosome abnormality in men. The clinical features described in the early characterisation of the syndrome include tall stature, small testes, hypogonadism, gynecomastia and neurodevelopmental deficits. However, the syndrome presents a broad phenotypic spectrum that seems to be evolving, along with environmental and general health changes. Although a proportion of men with KS are asymptomatic, others experience numerous severe comorbidities, ranging from cardiovascular to autoimmune disorders. Once considered a hallmark of the syndrome, the inability to conceive can now be overcome with assisted reproductive technology. The neuropsychological stigmata, once overstated, thereafter inadvertently dismissed, now demand a more balanced and objective approach. Significant advances have been made in our understanding of KS over recent years, including the molecular machinery involved in the chromosomal disjunction that gives rise to the syndrome. Our understanding of the risk-benefit of testosterone replacement therapy has greatly improved; however, many gaps persist. Future work should be prioritised according to the needs of people with KS. There are opportunities for new research addressing the fields of fertility, cardiovascular prevention, neurodevelopment, quality of life and bone health. Above all, solid registries and extensive prospective longitudinal studies are needed to enrol people with KS to determine their evolving needs as they progress through their lifespan. These studies would be best initiated with international collaboration to ensure the results apply to all those with this condition worldwide.

Published: February 2025

The paper presents an assessment of the degree of flora synanthropization of salt marshes along the Noteć Canal in the vicinity of the soda works in Mątwy and Janikowo, the salt mine in Góra, and at the salt works and spa in Inowrocław, vestern Kuyavia. Salt marshes were located mainly along pipelines that supply brine from the mine to industrial production, medical care and recreation and pipelines that carry saline industrial and municipal wastewater to places of its disposal and, after preliminary treatment, to the Vistula River.
In previous studies, we recorded the occurrence of 117 vascular plant species, which we assigned to geographical–historical groups. In this work, we present the results of further analysis, which includes the comparison of the salt marsh flora in terms of synanthropization indices with the flora of 55 natural and artificial sites from different regions of Poland.
The flora of the compared sites developed under varying substrate moisture, history of use and intensity of human impact. The range of variability of these factors was extensive, as these were both natural and degraded ecological systems, including those developed on artificial substrates. Both facultative and obligate, halophytes played an essential role in the floristic composition of many of these sites.
Numerical classification of a set of 56 floras characterised based on the values of 13 indices showed that, in terms of the degree of synanthropization, the flora of investigated salt marshes is most similar to the floras of meadows occurring in other regions of Poland, both to those in the vicinity of industrial plants and those of artificial biotopes. Numerical ordination, however, showed that the indices of permanent synanthropization and total synanthropization, as well as the index of apophytism of spontaneophytes, contributed most to the variability. Differences in the values of 13 indices of synanthropization of selected floras from the five main subgroups distinguished in the numerical classification and ordination are presented by the graphical method.

Published: February 2025

Background
Nursing governance residues one of the most composite functions in the complex and complicated healthcare arena. Providing nurse managers with professional nursing governance knowledge and its related practices is essential in today’s competitive healthcare environment for nursing practices excellence.

Objective
This research aimed to determine the effect of Professional Nursing Shared Governance Awareness Sessions on First-Line Nurse Managers’ Knowledge.

Design
A quasi-experimental research design.

Setting
Alexandria Medical Research Institute hospital.

Participants
A total of 50 first-line nurse managers were recruited for the participating hospital.

Methods
Professional Nursing Shared Governance Knowledge Questionnaire and the participants’ socio-demographic characteristics questions were included.

Results
There was a statistically significant differences between the overall mean score of first-line nurse managers’ knowledge about professional nursing shared governance before and after attending nursing shared governance awareness sessions (p < 0.001). The overall mean score of professional nursing shared governance was increased significantly from 3.12 ± 2.54 to 5.86 ± 0.35 (t 7.493, p < 0.001).

Conclusions
This research plugs the Arabian nursing literature gap by representing how effective professional nursing shared governance awareness sessions could improve the nurse managers’ level of knowledge regarding the governance concept and its practices. Participants perceived the awareness sessions as constructive and strategic contrivances to determine and evolve high-potential personnel in opportunities as giving compassionate organizational structures and effective leadership behaviors for aggregating contribution of nurses in work enterprise, problem-solving, conflict resolution, teams and organizational decision-making as “crucial components to an efficacious organization”. Hence, the definitive issue for the nursing profession future is participative decision making through shared governance, as it should be a part of every organization’s strategic plan.
Assessing physical literacy and establishing normative reference curves for 8–12-year-old children from South Punjab, Pakistan: The PAK-IPPL cross-sectional study
Authors: Hadier Syed Ghufran , Yinghai Liu , Long Liu , Hamdani Syed Danish , Hamdani Syed Muhammad Zeeshan Haider 
Published: February 2025

Background
Physical literacy (PL) encompasses an individual’s motivation, confidence, physical competence, and knowledge, all of which foster lifelong engagement in physical activities. In developing countries like Pakistan, there is a pressing need to assess PL status using culturally valid tools. This study aims to evaluate PL among children aged 8–12 in South Punjab, Pakistan while developing normative reference curves and exploring factors influencing PL.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,360 students (mean age = 10.00, SD = 1.41 years) from 85 schools, using a culturally adapted and validated version of the CAPL-2 tool. The CAPL-2 scoring system was validated to align with the population and cultural context. Statistical analyses, including t-tests, Chi-squared tests, Pearson’s correlation, multivariate logistic regression, and Classification and regression tree methods, were performed to identify factors associated with PL classifications, with significance set at p < 0.05. The Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale, and Shape were used to create age- and sex-specific PL normative reference curves.

Result
The study revealed significant influences of gender, socioeconomic status (SES), and locality on PL. Boys consistently scored higher in PL across all domains compared to girls, with significant differences (p < 0.001) in all but the knowledge and understanding domain (p = 0.160). Boys’ PL scores were 6% higher overall, with a 7% and 5% advantage in the daily behavior and physical competence domains, respectively. Children from low SES and rural settings exhibited significantly higher PL scores than their middle/high SES and urban counterparts (p < 0.001). Walking to school was positively correlated with higher PL scores, while children traveling by car had the lowest scores (p < 0.001). Anthropometric differences between genders were noted, further emphasizing the disparities in physical competence. Most participants (71.6%) fell into the "Beginning" or "Progressing" PL categories, with females predominantly in these lower stages.

Conclusion
This study reveals that gender, SES, and locality significantly impact PL among children in South Punjab, Pakistan. Boys, lower SES groups, and rural children showed higher PL scores, with everyday activities like walking to school positively contributing to PL development. These findings emphasize the need for targeted, demographically sensitive interventions to enhance PL in the region.

Published: February 2025

Background
Spice and pepper are recognized as sources of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. This study investigated the association between spice or pepper intake and metabolic syndrome (MetS), related risk factors, or type 2 diabetes (T2D) incidences.

Methods
The qualified Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) participants were included. In all examinations, dietary, anthropometrical, and biochemical variables were measured. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were exploited to determine the relationship between spice or pepper consumption and the hazard ratios for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), or its components.

Results
The analysis was performed on 5340 individuals, with a mean age of 39.9±13.4 and 406 incident cases of T2D. Also, 4353 participants were included for MetS analysis with 1211 incident cases and a median follow-up of 5.8 years. After adjusting for confounding factors, spice and pepper intakes were not associated with T2D or MetS incidence. Further, in the upper quartile of spice intake, the HRs of high triglyceride (TG) [HR Q4: 1.19 (CI: 1.05–1.35)] and high blood pressure (BP) [HR Q4: 1.16 (CI: 1.04–1.30), P-trend = 0.007] increased. The risk of HDL-C appeared to decrease in the third quartile of pepper consumption (HR: 1, 0.97, 0.87, 1.03, P-trend = 0.008).

Conclusion
The findings showed that spice and pepper consumption had no association with the incidence of T2D and MetS. The risk of high TG and high BP incidence was elevated in the upper quartiles of spice intake. Also, greater consumption of pepper decreased the incidence of low HDL-C.

Authors: Jin Xiaofei , Jiang Mengwei , Qian Lu , Tao Ling , Yang Yamin , Xing Lidong , Qian Zhiyu , Li Weitao 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
To evaluate the effects of axial length and slot-to-slot distance of double-slot microwave antenna (DSMA) with frequency of 433 MHz on the size and shape of ablation zones created under different input microwave powers.

Materials and methods
The design of double slot microwave antennas (DSMAs) with axial lengths (70 mm, 30 mm) and slot-to-slot distance (49 mm, 10 mm) were optimized by numerical simulation and ex vivo liver experiments. Finite-element method simulations and forty ablations of swine liver were employed to obtain the temperature distributions within liver tissue using DSMAs at the 433 MHz operating frequency in a range of heating powers (20, 30, 40 and 50W) for 600 s. The dependence of the effectiveness of MWA on the axial length and slot-to-slot distance of antenna as well as the input power was further evaluated by analyzing morphologic characteristics of ablated zone.

Results
Two-zone ablation was achieved by two types of double-slot antennas in our study with frequency of 433 MHz, and the observed shapes of ex vivo experimental ablation zones were in good agreement with patterns predicted by simulation models. The ablation zone exhibited a ‘gourd’ shape after the treatment using the antenna with longer axial length and slot-to-slot distance, while the short antenna caused a guitar-shape ablation in liver tissue after MWA.

Conclusion
The dedicated design of our DSMAs with a frequency of 433 MHz could enable new ablation shapes with controllable dimensions, which can be applied to the clinical treatment of MWA for gourd-shaped liver tumors and other long-shaped tumors. Furthermore, research can be conducted on how to design the antenna as flexible and use it for the treatment of pulmonary nodules or varicose veins.
Facilitating safe transition to home for preterm infants (FAST home): Protocol for a retrospective observational study
Authors: Szatkowski Lisa , Abramson Janine , Tao Sha , Seaton Sarah E. , Dorling Jon , Arellano-Meza Michelle , Harvey Jane , Harvey Tom , Ojha Shalini 
Published: February 2025

Background
Preterm infants (i.e., those born before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy) often require additional care and are admitted to neonatal units soon after birth. Readiness for discharge home typically requires a level of physiological maturity such that an infant is able to: 1) breathe spontaneously without additional support; 2) maintain their own body temperature; 3) take all their nutritional requirements orally; 4) weighs ≥ 1700g and is gaining weight. Longer hospital stays than necessary can be detrimental to infants, stressful for families, and costly. Currently, little is known about whether, how long and why preterm infants stay in hospital beyond physiological readiness for discharge.

Materials and methods
We will conduct a retrospective cohort study using data from the National Neonatal Research Database on all infants born at < 37 weeks’ gestational age (GA) admitted to neonatal units in England and Wales from 2016-2022. The day of life and postmenstrual age infants reach each physiological milestone, and the final barrier to discharge, will be identified. We will assess whether the final barrier differs by GA and between neonatal Operational Delivery Networks and summarise the number of days infants remain in hospital after surpassing all physiological milestones. We will explore the characteristics of infants, mothers and neonatal units associated with extended hospital stays beyond physiological readiness for discharge.

Discussion
The results of this study will allow identification of areas to target to help achieve a safe reduction in length of hospital stay and will support the development of evidence-based recommendations to guide optimal discharge practices.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The occurrence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas gusher accidents is a worrying engineering disaster during tunnel construction travel through stratum adsorbed with H2S. To mitigate the risks associated with H2S, alkaline solutions are applied within the tunnel and injected into the rock mass ahead of the tunnel face to neutralize and eliminate the adsorbed H2S. Samples from the Huangjiagou tunnel in southwestern China are systematically investigated to understand the interaction between H2S-adsorbed limestone and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) solutions at concentrations of 1, 3, and 5%. The results indicate that exposure of the limestone to Ca(OH)2 solution leads to the erosion of aluminum silicate minerals and the subsequent precipitation of potassium feldspar crystals. The uniaxial compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of the limestone decreased by 48.82 and 28.31%, respectively, following an exponential trend as the concentration of Ca(OH)2 solution increased. Additionally, an increase in the number of abrupt energy changes detected via acoustic emission is observed in limestone treated with higher concentrations of alkaline solutions. Energy evolution analysis indicates that alkaline-treated limestone exhibits significantly enhanced energy dissipation capacity during the loading process, making dissipative energy more likely to dominate.
Structure and physical properties of BioPBS melt-blown nonwovens

Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this study, the effect of melt-blown parameters on the properties of nonwovens manufactured from novel, commercially available biobased polybutylene succinate (BioPBS) was investigated. The research focused on the structure, surface, and mechanical properties. The parameters of processing, such as the air temperature (240 and 200°C) and die-to-collector distance (−40 cm), were evaluated in order to determine their impact on the prepared materials. Analyzing the effect of changes in the process parameters on individual fiber properties, it was noticed that the reduction of air temperature from 240 to 200°C results in an increase in the fiber diameter, which directly affects other physical properties such as apparent density and air permeability. In addition, the differences in the surface structure of nonwovens were determined. The investigation clearly shows that the obtained nonwovens can be characterized by various roughness sides with an insignificant impact on the friction and contact angle values. The mechanical tests suggest the influence of the supramolecular structure of PBS on the elongation and tenacity of the materials. The structure of the obtained nonwovens is different from the known characteristic nonwoven structure obtained by the melt-blown method from conventional polymers but can be useful in agricultural or horticultural applications.
