A case of thoracic central venous obstruction treated by the innominate-to-right-atrial bypass grafting technique under extracorporeal circulation
Authors: Chen Jianfeng 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
A 46-year-old woman with stage 5 chronic kidney disease was unable to undergo hemodialysis treatment due to thoracic central venous obstruction (TCVO) and blockage of the tunneled cuffed catheter. This patient also presented with symptoms of TCVO. When percutaneous procedure was not possible, we resolved the obstruction with the innominate-to-right-atrial bypass grafting technique under extracorporeal circulation. There are few reports on this surgical approach. In terms of patient prognosis, this may be an effective solution to this problem.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
We report a case of linitis plastica (LP) with synchronous bilateral Krukenberg Tumours in a young woman, which could be resected fully. Such a case is rarely reported because of rarity (LP), dismal prognosis (LP and Krukenberg Tumours), nonresectability due to peritoneal spread at presentation, and lack of clear treatment protocols (LP and Krukenberg Tumours). This case report suggests that LP, with Krukenberg Tumours, can achieve complete resection in a select subset of cases; this may improve survival.

Abstract
Penetrating cardiac injuries are rare but are one of the most urgent emergencies because they require early intervention in order to prevent death. The mortality rate of such injuries, including pre-hospitalization deaths, goes up to 90%. The most commonly injured heart chamber is the right ventricle since it takes over half of the anterior thoracic wall. The left ventricle is injured less often, but these patients usually have worse prognoses and higher mortality rates because such injuries lead to hemodynamic instability faster. We present a unique case of a suicide attempt in which the patient stabbed himself with a knife, penetrated the left ventricle, and survived even though he transected the second diagonal branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery and pulled the knife out of his chest.
Mark’s Demonic Christology: Reevaluating the Daimonic Confessions of Jesus’s Messiahship
Authors: Glover Daniel B 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Markan scholars have often taken for granted that the daimonic acclamations of Jesus’s messianic identity in Mark’s Gospel present the author’s own Christological perspective. Giving attention to daimonic speech in Mark’s literary context, however, opens up the interpretive possibility that this daimonic speech may serve to mislead rather than teach. By using insights from the rhetorical practice of prosopopoeia (speech-in-character), this article compares the Christology of Mark’s daimones with a) Jesus’s reliable statements about his own messianic identity and b) Mark’s discursive presentation of the messianic role in order to assess whether the daimonic Christology in Mark’s Gospel is trustworthy or misleading.
Ilaria Ramelli’s History of the ‘Apokatastasis Doctrine’: A Critical Assessment of Evidence from before Origen
Authors: Pedersen Nils Arne 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In this article, the treatment of early Christian literature from before Origen in Ilaria Ramelli’s monographs The Christian Doctrine of Apokatastasis and (co-authored with David Konstan) Terms for Eternity is subject to critique. When Ramelli claims that the early literature shared the idea of temporary punishment after death, thus forming the ‘roots’ of the doctrine of apokatastasis, a clear distinction between early and later concepts and interpretations is missing. The argument that αἰώνιος in eschatological contexts should not mean ‘eternal’, but rather ‘in the world to come’, is untenable, inter alia because this supposed sense of αἰώνιος would duplicate the same information in the phrase ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τῷ ἐρχομένῳ ζωὴν αἰώνιον (Mark 10:30). The article also demonstrates the incorrectness of Ramelli’s arguments that the texts contain contrasting relations between the words αἰώνιος and ἀΐδιος and κόλασις and τιμωρία, respectively, with only ἀΐδιος indicating a strictly eternal future, and κόλασις a purifying temporary chastisement. These arguments contain a number of methodological errors: the meaning of words is not sought in the contexts in which they are used, and the possibility of stylistic variation is not taken into account.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
The global pandemic of COVID-19 has been over four years, and the role of intestinal microbiota in the occurrence and development of COVID-19 needs to be further clarified. During the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in China, we analyzed the intestinal microbiome in fecal samples from inpatients with pneumonia and normal individuals in January 2023. The microbiota composition, alpha diversity, beta diversity, differential microbial community, co-occurrence networks, and functional abundance were analyzed. The results showed significant differences in microbiota composition between the two groups. In pneumonia group, the abundance of Bifidobacterium, Blautia, Clostridium, and Coprococcus decreased, while the abundance of Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, and Megamonas increased. Through LEfSe analysis, 37 marker microbiota were identified in pneumonia group. Co-occurrence network analysis found that Lachnospiraceae was critical for the interaction of intestinal microbiota, and the anti-inflammatory bacteria Blautia was negatively correlated with the pro-inflammatory bacteria Ruminococcus. Functional prediction found the up-regulation of steroid biosynthesis, geraniol degradation, and mRNA surveillance pathway in pneumonia group. In conclusion, opportunistic pathogens increased and probiotics, or short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, decreased in the intestinal microbiota of pneumonia inpatients during the Omicron epidemic. Blautia could be used as a probiotic in the treatment of pneumonia patients in the future.

Abstract
Equine farming generates a significant amount of waste, prompting the need for effective management. Composting enhanced by filamentous fungi holds promise for this purpose. This study focused on inoculating Aspergillus fumigatus isolates in composting horse bedding made with wood shavings (Pinus elliottii). The experiment lasted 90 days, with two treatment groups, control and inoculated, analyzing temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, total organic carbon and nitrogen content, and cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin contents. Both treatments entered the thermophilic phase by the fourth day, reaching temperatures above 55°C and mesophilic maturation at 35 days (41 ± 0.2°C). The inoculated treatment exhibited higher electrical conductivity after 30 days and a more pronounced reduction in the total carbon content (42.85% vs. 38.29%) compared to the control. While there was no significant nitrogen difference, the inoculated treatment had a sharper reduction in carbon/nitrogen ratio, and cellulose and hemicellulose contents. Both treatments showed low coliform counts, no Salmonella sp., and reduced Strongyloides sp. larvae. Inoculating A. fumigatus in saturated horse bedding made from wood shavings improved compost quality, providing a possibility for sustainable equine farming waste treatment.
Everyday memory: a computational analysis of changing relations between past and present in Dutch newspapers in the 20th century
Authors: Huijnen Pim 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This article proposes a data-driven approach to memory culture by quantitatively studying the phrase ‘n years ago’ in a set of Dutch newspapers throughout the larger part of the 20th century. In a pipeline consisting of three parts, it looks at (1) the most frequently used time frame (in years and decades) that newspapers use to look back at ‘n years ago’, (2) trends in the use of the most common variants of this phrase through time, and (3) the actual years that are referred to by means of this phrase. By doing so, this article substantiates Aleida Assmann’s claim of an increasing entanglement of past and present after Second World War, while showing that this fundamentally looks like what is here called ‘everyday memory culture’. Rather than the establishment of a canon of landmark years that newspapers increasingly come back to (e.g. 1929, 1940, or 1945), the past that Dutch newspapers invoke on a daily basis is mostly informed by recent and recurrent events in culture, sports, and politics.
G359.13142-0.20005: a steep spectrum radio pulsar candidate with an X-ray counterpart running into the Galactic Centre Snake (G359.1-0.2)

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
The Snake is a remarkable Galactic Centre radio filament with a morphology characterized by two kinks along its ∼20 arcmin extent. The major and minor kinks are located where the filament is most distorted from a linear magnetized structure running perpendicular to the Galactic plane. We present Chandra, VLA, and MeerKAT data and report the detection of an X-ray and radio source at the location of the major kink. High-resolution radio images of the major kink reveal a compact source with a steep spectrum with spectral index α ∼ −2.7 surrounded by extended emission. The radio luminosity and steep spectrum of the compact source are consistent with a pulsar. We also show flattening of the spectrum and enhanced synchrotron emissivity away from the position of the major kink along the Snake, which suggests injection of relativistic particles along the Snake. We argue that the major kink is created by a fast-moving (∼500–1000 km s−1) object punching into the Snake, distorting its magnetic structure, and producing X-ray emission. X-ray emission pinpoints an active acceleration site where the interaction is taking place. A secondary kink is argued to be induced by the impact of the high-velocity object producing the major kink.

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
In this paper, the statistics of cloud cover at night from 2016 to 2018 above the Ali observatory has been summarized, using the meso-scale numerical model and the cameras (Canon and AllSky-340 Camera). Above the western Tibetan Plateau, in the area of 200 km × 200 km centred at the Ali site, the average cloud cover during night was basically less than 30 per cent in 2016, and the Ali site was located in the zone with small value around 20 per cent; large cloud cover always occurred in summer, with mean value above 50 per cent in most parts of this area; while in winter, the smallest cloud cover was basically below 10 per cent; in other seasons, the cloud cover was mostly less than 30 per cent, and the Ali site located in the zone with cloud cover below 10 per cent in autumn and below 20 per cent in spring. At each monitored field of view from 90° to 45°, the cloud cover varied little; the proportion of clear nights with cloud cover below 10 per cent was close to 60 per cent of total observable nights per year, and the less cloudy nights with cloud cover below 40 per cent accounted for more than 70 per cent, besides, the observable nights with cloud cover below 70 per cent was around 80 per cent every year. Generally, the cloud cover condition at the Ali observatory above the western plateau is excellent, there are always abundant observable nights, while a bit worse just in July and August. Meanwhile, the numerical model has been proved to be a reliable tool to estimate cloud cover conditions above the Tibetan Plateau.

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
The fourth-DR3 version (4FGL-DR3) of the Fermi-LAT catalogue of γ-ray sources contains ∼1000 objects at a galactic latitude |b| &gt; 10° that are not identified with an optical counterpart. We performed a systematic study of these sources, focusing on 190 objects that have a unique X-ray counterpart in the available Swift/XRT observations. Optical counterparts were then selected, and optical spectra were found in the literature for 33 sources. We found that 21 could be classified as BL Lac objects. Among these, we were able to provide the redshift for eight of them, while for two others we established a lower limit to the redshift by detecting intervening absorption. The other 12 objects display optical spectra with prominent emission lines (0.036 &lt; z &lt; 1.65). These spectra are characterized by both broad and narrow emission lines, with the exception of three sources. One of these displays only broad emission lines, while the other two exclusively exhibit narrow lines. On the basis of the radio/optical flux ratio, all BL Lac objects in this study are radio-loud. Four sources out of the 12 with prominent emission lines can be classified as radio-loud, while at least five of the 12 sources with prominent lines are radio-quiet. This is somewhat unexpected, given the radio-loudness distribution of 4FGL-associated blazars.
PlantFUNCO: Integrative Functional Genomics Database Reveals Clues into Duplicates Divergence Evolution

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Evolutionary epigenomics and, more generally, evolutionary functional genomics, are emerging fields that study how non-DNA-encoded alterations in gene expression regulation are an important form of plasticity and adaptation. Previous evidence analyzing plants’ comparative functional genomics has mostly focused on comparing same assay-matched experiments, missing the power of heterogeneous datasets for conservation inference. To fill this gap, we developed PlantFUN(ctional)CO(nservation) database, which is constituted by several tools and two main resources: interspecies chromatin states and functional genomics conservation scores, presented and analyzed in this work for three well-established plant models (Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa, and Zea mays). Overall, PlantFUNCO elucidated evolutionary information in terms of cross-species functional agreement. Therefore, providing a new complementary comparative-genomics source for assessing evolutionary studies. To illustrate the potential applications of this database, we replicated two previously published models predicting genetic redundancy in A. thaliana and found that chromatin states are a determinant of paralogs degree of functional divergence. These predictions were validated based on the phenotypes of mitochondrial alternative oxidase knockout mutants under two different stressors. Taking all the above into account, PlantFUNCO aim to leverage data diversity and extrapolate molecular mechanisms findings from different model organisms to determine the extent of functional conservation, thus, deepening our understanding of how plants epigenome and functional noncoding genome have evolved.

Experimental demonstration of topological bounds in quantum metrology

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
Quantum metrology is deeply connected to quantum geometry, through the fundamental notion of quantum Fisher information. Inspired by advances in topological matter, it was recently suggested that the Berry curvature and Chern numbers of band structures can dictate strict lower bounds on metrological properties, hence establishing a strong connection between topology and quantum metrology. In this work, we provide a first experimental verification of such topological bounds, by performing optimal quantum multi-parameter estimation and achieving the best possible measurement precision. By emulating the band structure of a Chern insulator, we experimentally determine the metrological potential across a topological phase transition, and demonstrate strong enhancement in the topologically non-trivial regime. Our work opens the door to metrological applications empowered by topology, with potential implications for quantum many-body systems.
A gendered assessment of police officers’ views towards promotion, specialized units, and expected rank at retirement
Authors: Somers Logan J , Geoghan Stephanie , Terrill William 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Women are vastly underrepresented among the police officers who work in supervisory and specialized unit capacities. While prior research has identified numerous potential barriers to the advancement of women within policing, there have been few direct comparisons of how these factors might differentially impact male and female officers when it comes to the importance they place on being promoted, moving to a specialized unit, and their expected rank at retirement. To help address these limitations, the current study draws on survey data from a sample of 565 patrol officers employed at a large metropolitan agency. Using a series of multivariate analyses, factors such as officer gender, race, tenure, and job satisfaction were all found to be consistently linked with the outcome variables. The gender-specific models also uncovered that while being a parent had a marginal negative association with female officers’ views towards the importance of moving to a specialized unit, having prior military experience was positively linked with specialized unit importance among women. Further, female officers were also more likely to choose detective as their expected rank at retirement when compared to males. With these findings in mind, this study closes with a discussion of several policy implications and areas for future research to expand.
Identification of Parkinson's disease subtypes with distinct brain atrophy progression and its association with clinical progression
Authors: Pan Guoqing , Jiang Yuchao , Zhang Wei , Zhang Xuejuan , Wang Linbo , Cheng Wei 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients suffer from progressive gray matter volume (GMV) loss, but whether distinct patterns of atrophy progression exist within PD are still unclear.

Objective
This study aims to identify PD subtypes with different rates of GMV loss and assess their association with clinical progression.

Methods
This study included 107 PD patients (mean age: 60.06 ± 9.98 years, 70.09% male) with baseline and ≥ 3-year follow-up structural MRI scans. A linear mixed-effects model was employed to assess the rates of regional GMV loss. Hierarchical cluster analysis was conducted to explore potential subtypes based on individual rates of GMV loss. Clinical score changes were then compared across these subtypes.

Results
Two PD subtypes were identified based on brain atrophy rates. Subtype 1 (n = 63) showed moderate atrophy, notably in the prefrontal and lateral temporal lobes, while Subtype 2 (n = 44) had faster atrophy across the brain, particularly in the lateral temporal region. Furthermore, subtype 2 exhibited faster deterioration in non-motor (MDS-UPDRS-Part Ⅰ, β = 1.26 ± 0.18, P = 0.016) and motor (MDS-UPDRS-Part Ⅱ, β = 1.34 ± 0.20, P = 0.017) symptoms, autonomic dysfunction (SCOPA-AUT, β = 1.15 ± 0.22, P = 0.043), memory (HVLT-Retention, β = −0.02 ± 0.01, P = 0.016) and depression (GDS, β = 0.26 ± 0.083, P = 0.019) compared to subtype 1.

Conclusion
The study has identified two PD subtypes with distinct patterns of atrophy progression and clinical progression, which may have implications for developing personalized treatment strategies.
Differences in maternal–newborn ABO blood groups and risk of serious infant infection
Authors: Butler E A , Grandi S M , Matai L , Wang X , Cohen E , Ray J G 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
During pregnancy, various maternal IgG antibodies are transferred to the developing fetus, some of which may protect the newborn against infection. If a mother and her fetus have different A, B or O (ABO) blood groups, then transferred maternal antibodies may plausibly protect the infant against infection.

Aim
To determine if maternal–newborn ABO blood group incongruence vs. congruence is associated with a lower risk of serious infection in the infant.

Design
Retrospective population-based cohort.

Methods
We used linked patient-level datasets for all singleton hospital livebirths from 2008 to 2022 in Ontario, Canada, with known maternal and newborn ABO blood groups. We used a dichotomous exposure state, either ABO blood group congruent (N = 114 507) or incongruent (N = 43 074). The main outcome of interest was the risk of serious infant infection within 27 days, and from 28 to 365 days, after birth. Cox proportional hazard models generated hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals, and were adjusted for maternal age, world region of origin, residential income quintile and gestational age at birth.

Results
Relative to maternal–newborn congruency, incongruent ABO blood group was associated with an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.88 (95% CI: 0.80–0.97) for serious neonatal infection within 27 days of birth, and 0.93 (95% CI: 0.90–0.96) for serious infection between 28 and 365 days after birth.

Conclusions
Maternal–newborn ABO incongruence may be associated with a lower relative risk of a serious infant infection within 27 days, and from 28 to 365 days, after birth.
