Published: March 2024

AbstractThe increasing incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) worldwide poses serious social and family problems. Various risk factors for ASD are gradually being recognized, and there are also various options for the treatment of ASD. It is worth noting that dietary interventions have been shown to have a positive effect in terms of mitigating and preventing some psychiatric disorders, such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and ASD, and they are gradually receiving attention as a safe adjuvant treatment. In this review, based on the current understanding of the pathogenic factors and intervention strategies for ASD, different dietary patterns that can be selected for children with ASD are discussed in depth. Moreover, a review was conducted on the use of dietary factors, such as natural products from food sources, prebiotics, and probiotics, as effective supplements to existing dietary patterns. As increasing evidence shows that maternal risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, are associated with an increased risk of ASD in offspring, dietary suggestions are also made for pregnant woman with ASD‐related risk factors to counteract the impact of these risk factors. With compensation from food‐derived natural products, prebiotics, and probiotics, suitable dietary patterns can further enhance the effectiveness of dietary interventions for ASD. In addition, dietary recommendations for pregnant woman may reduce the potential impact of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension and may help to prevent the occurrence of ASD to the maximum extent possible.

AbstractBackground and AimsSexual self‐efficacy refers to a woman's belief that she can be sexually active and attractive for her sexual partner and has acceptable sexual function. One of the issues that may negatively affect sexual self‐efficacy is HIV infection. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of counseling based on mindfulness on sexual self‐efficacy of women affected with HIV.MethodsThis was a randomized controlled trial involving 62 HIV‐positive women in their reproductive age. Women in the intervention group were further divided into four groups. Each group received eight sessions of counseling based on mindfulness, while the control group received no intervention. A demographic questionnaire and sexual self‐efficacy questionnaire were used to collect the data. The independent t test, χ2, and repeated measure tests were used to analyze the data.ResultsThe mean change of total score of sexual self‐efficacy in Week 8 compared with before intervention was 37.04 (95% CI: 31.38–42.70, p < 0001) and in Week 12 compared with before intervention was 36.97 (95% CI: 31.59–42.34, p < 0.0001), while in the control group, it almost remained unchanged. The score of readiness for sexual relationship, sexual self‐stimulation, intimacy without sexual intercourse, and orgasm improved significantly 8 and 12 weeks after intervention (p < 0.0001), whereas no significant differences were observed in these dimensions in the control group.ConclusionThe results of this study showed that 8 weeks of counseling based on mindfulness could significantly improve all dimensions of sexual self‐efficacy and its total score in women affected with HIV. Thus, this method of counseling is recommended for HIV‐positive women.

AbstractBackground and AimsRehabilitation targeting patients with cardiac conditions are evident and acknowledged in clinical guidelines. However, participation rates remain suboptimal, with only 50% of all patients with cardiac conditions participating in these programs across Europe. Considering the well‐documented effects of rehabilitation, increasing the referral rate to cardiac rehabilitation would be desirable. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a novel referral strategy that could potentially enhance enrollment in cardiac rehabilitation for patients with heart failure.MethodsThis prospective feasibility study incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods was conducted in an outpatient heart failure clinic and a municipal health care center. 106 patients with heart failure were referred to the heart failure clinic from September 2021 through July 2022. A 15−20 min face‐to‐face physiotherapy consultation was incorporated into usual care, evaluating patients' habitual and actual level of functioning, disability, and physical activity and assessing their potential need and motivation for cardiac rehabilitation. Three predefined quantitative feasibility outcomes: reach, referral rate, and data completeness were assessed. Additionally, semi‐structured interviews explored acceptability among patients and health care professionals at the municipal health care center and the hospital. Finally, the potential effect was assessed based on the enrollment rate.ResultsPhysiotherapy consultations were offered to 86% of eligible patients; of these, 52% were referred to cardiac rehabilitation. Ninety‐one percent data completeness was achieved. The intervention was well‐accepted by patients and health care professionals. The enrollment rate reached 79%.ConclusionThe novel referral strategy proved feasible concerning reach and data completeness, although the referral rate suggested that further refinements are required before a full‐scale trial. The novel referral strategy was well‐accepted, and enrollment rate approached an acceptable level.

Published: March 2024

AbstractIn recent years, wearable electrochemical biosensors have received increasing attention, benefiting from the growing demand for continuous monitoring for personalized medicine and point‐of‐care medical assistance. Incorporating electrochemical biosensing and corresponding power supply into everyday textiles could be a promising strategy for next‐generation non‐invasive and comfort interaction mode with healthcare. This review starts with the manufacturing and structural design of electrochemical biosensing textiles and discusses a series of wearable electrochemical biosensing textiles monitoring various biomarkers (e.g., pH, electrolytes, metabolite, and cytokines) at the molecular level. The fiber‐shaped or textile‐based solar cells and aqueous batteries as corresponding energy harvesting and storage devices are further introduced as a complete power supply for electrochemical biosensing textiles. Finally, we discuss the challenges and prospects relating to sensing textile systems from wearability, durability, washability, sample collection and analysis, and clinical validation.

Published: March 2024

AbstractFullerene derivatives are highly attractive materials in solar cells, organic thermoelectrics, and other devices. However, the intrinsic low electron mobility and electrical conductivity restrict their potential device performance, such as perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we successfully enhanced the electric properties and morphology of phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) by n‐doping it with a benzimidazoline derivative, 9‐(1,3‐dimethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐benzoimidazol‐2‐yl)‐julolidine (JLBI‐H) via a solution process. We found the n‐doping can not only improve the conductivity and optimize the band alignment but also enable the PCBM to have a constantly strong charge extraction ability in a wide temperature from 173 to 373 K, which guarantees a stable photovoltaic performance of the corresponding PSCs under a wide range of operating temperatures. With the JLBI‐H‐doped PCBM, we improved the efficiency from 17.9% to 19.8%, along with enhanced stability of the nonencapsulated devices following the aging protocol of ISOS‐D‐1.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine third‐trimester sonographic imaging of the fetal pancreas in uncomplicated pregnancies and its association with pregnancy outcomes.MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study including 274 pregnant women. Uncomplicated pregnancies in the third trimester (28–40 weeks) were included in the study. Maternal chronic disease, pregnancy‐related disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, cholestasis, smoking, and fetal abnormalities were determined as exclusion criteria. Sonographic fetal pancreatic measurement and echogenicity were evaluated in all participants. For intra‐observer reliability, each participant's fetal pancreatic circumference was measured two times. The echogenicity of the pancreas was compared with the liver and ribs and classified as grade 1, 2, and 3. The pregnancy outcomes of all participants were obtained from the hospital digital registration system.ResultsThe average fetal pancreatic circumference in the third trimester was 70.7 ± 0.6 mm (median, 70 [44–100.7]), with high intra‐observer agreement (ICC 0.996 [0.995; 0.997]). A significant positive correlation was found between pancreatic circumference, body mass index (BMI), gestational age, and birth weight. Pancreatic measurements were significantly higher in composite adverse outcomes cases that included at least one of respiratory distress syndrome, hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal pneumonia, infection, and sepsis (p < 0.001). No relationship was found between pancreatic echogenicity and perinatal outcomes.ConclusionFetal pancreas size was positively correlated with gestational age, BMI, and birth weight, and increased fetal pancreas size was associated with composite adverse neonatal outcomes.
Aggregates versus pores – is the soil science community torn apart? A survey
Authors: Roosch Svenja 
Published: March 2024

AbstractWhether soil structure should be viewed mostly as a system of pores or a set of aggregates is a question soil scientists keep debating in the literature, but it is unclear whether the wider soil science community is also divided. In a quick survey among mainly German soil scientists of all career levels and sub‐disciplines, most participants agreed that both pores and aggregates are important to describe soil structure. The debate can nevertheless be fruitful if it is led more efficiently, avoiding generalisations, misunderstandings and potential emotional barriers.

An analytical quality by design‐based high‐performance liquid chromatography method for determining metformin (MET) and sitagliptin (SIT) in stress‐degraded samples was developed and validated. The analytical target profile and risk assessment‐driven critical method variables, for example, pH, % aqueous, and buffer concentration, were studied for their effect on method responses of retention time and resolution using a central composite design. The correlation regression coefficient was more than 0.8, and variables interaction was significant on method responses with curvature effect. The method operable design region afforded an aqueous range of 55%–70% and an ortho‐phosphoric acid buffer of 0.1% with a pH of 3.0–4.0 as a robust region for the suitable method performance characteristics. The separation of MET and SIT from their degradants (m/z 85.0509; m/z 193.0694) on the C8 column was achieved using a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% ortho‐phosphoric acid and methanol (60:40% v/v; pH 3.0). The optimized method eluted MET and SIT at 4.3 ± 0.2 and 7.1 ± 0.2 min, respectively, with acceptable specificity and resolution. The linearity ranges of 25–250 μg/mL (r2: 0.9982) and 5–50 μg/mL (r2: 0.9989) was established for MET and SIT, respectively. The % recovery (98.81%–102.17%), precision (0.55%–1.65%), and robustness study for method variables were acceptable.

Published: March 2024

ObjectivesDue to the government's liberalization of epidemic control, the current 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) has started to spread widely within China. This study aimed to use the fetal heart quantification (fetal HQ) technique to assess the cardiac function and morphology of the fetuses of pregnant women diagnosed with COVID‐19 in the early stages of pregnancy.MethodsExactly 86 pregnant women diagnosed with COVID‐19 infection in early pregnancy (COVID‐19 group) and 90 healthy pregnant women (control group) who underwent fetal echocardiography were prospectively included in this study. The fetal HQ technique was applied to compare the differences in the global sphericity index (GSI), global strain values (GS), fractional area change (FAC), and 24‐segment fractional shortening (FS) of the left and right ventricles, between the COVID‐19 group and the control group.ResultsCompared with the control group, the differences in GS and 24‐segment FS of the left ventricle in the COVID‐19 group were not statistically significant. However, the COVID‐19 group showed lower GSI values compared with the control group (1.24 vs 1.28). FAC (48.12%) of the left ventricle and GS (−23.55%), FAC (41.74%) of the right ventricle in the COVID‐19 group were reduced compared with FAC (50.50%) of the left ventricle and GS (−27.63%), FAC (46.01%) of the right ventricle in the control group. Segmental analysis revealed reduced FS in segments 20–24 in the COVID‐19 group compared with the control group. Right ventricular GS was an independent predictor of adverse pregnancy outcome with an optimal cutoff value of −18.66%.ConclusionsThe results suggest that COVID‐19 infection in early pregnancy may have a negative impact on fetal cardiac morphology and function. Fetal HQ may offer a new assessment method for the early identification of fetal cardiac alterations in pregnant women infected with COVID‐19.

AbstractMobile health (mHealth) interventions are a promising approach to promote mothers' and fathers' health in the perinatal period. This may be particularly true for psychosocially burdened families who are poorly reached by current preventive services. Studies are needed that examine how user‐centered and evidence‐based mHealth interventions look like for this target group. The objective of this paper is to describe the iterative development process of the I‐PREGNO app intervention that aims to prevent unhealthy weight gain and to promote mental health in psychosocially burdened families during the perinatal period. The systematic content development process was divided into four stages. User needs were assessed through focus group discussions with psychosocially burdened mothers and healthcare professionals (HPs; stage I). In stage II, a prototype of the app was developed and evaluated through usability tests and a walkthrough with the target group and HPs (stage III). Finally, the behavior change techniques implemented in the app were assessed using an existing taxonomy (stage IV). The focus group discussions revealed that HPs as well as end‐users would benefit from an intervention that addresses psychosocial aspects (i.e., emotion regulation, coping) and links these to health behaviors. The identified needs of the target group during the perinatal period were combined with existing evidence‐based content and translated into 12 app modules. Most of the behavior change techniques used in these thematic modules were assigned to the clusters self‐monitoring, knowledge building, and goal planning. The I‐PREGNO app development process was guided by an iterative and user‐centered approach involving the target audience and a multidisciplinary team of experts. The findings provide valuable implications for the design and development of evidence‐based self‐guided mHealth for hard‐to‐reach groups during the transition to parenthood. The efficacy of the I‐PREGNO intervention will be evaluated in randomized controlled trials in routine care.

Density affects rearing performance of juvenile landlocked fall Chinook Salmon
Authors: Rosburg Alex J. , Barnes Michael E. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Objective
Density-related information for landlocked fall Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha shortly after first feeding is poorly understood. This study was undertaken to determine the effects of a range of rearing densities (low, intermediate, and high) on rearing performance and survival of newly feed-trained juvenile landlocked fall Chinook Salmon.

Methods
The fish were reared for 66 days in 1.8-m (diameter) tanks with approximate volume of 2036 L at one of three loadings of approximately 2500, 5000, or 10,000 fish/tank.

Result
The initial and final densities for each of the three loadings were 0.73 and 8.93, 1.45 and 16.41, and 2.90 and 26.86 kg/m3, respectively. At the end of the study, the specific growth rates were significantly lower, total lengths were significantly shorter, and feed conversion ratios were significantly greater in the fish from the highest-density treatment relative to the fish in the other treatments. Percentage of weight gain, final weights, and condition factor were significantly reduced in fish from the highest-density treatment relative those at the lowest density. There were no significant differences in any growth metrics between fish that were reared at the lowest and intermediate densities. The intermediate density (5000 fish/tank) produced intermediate results that did not significantly differ from either the highest or lowest densities. Mortality was not significantly different among the density treatments.

Conclusion
An initial loading of 5000 fish in 1.8-m (diameter) circular tanks, corresponding to initial and final densities of 1.45 and 16.41 kg/m3, respectively, is recommended to minimize the detrimental effects of density on newly feeding Chinook Salmon while maximizing their production in often limited hatchery space.

AbstractCellulose diacetate (CDA) and triacetate (CTA) were derived from Egyptian cotton to fabricate reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. The Pphase inversion method was utilized for the production of CDA‐based membranes. Comprehensive characterization of these membranes involved structural, morphologial, and hydrophilic property analyses through techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle measurements. NMR spectra indicated a degree of substitution of 2.9 for CTA and 2 for CDA. The resulting RO membrane demonstrated a water flux of 6.1 L/m2·h and a salt rejection of 90.3%. Annealing led to an enhanced top layer with reduced defects and macrovoids in the support layer. Moreover, grafting the RO membranes with 15 wt% of 2‐acrylamidopropane‐2‐methyl sulphonic acid improved salt rejection to 96.2% and water flux to 8.7 L/m2.h. These findings underscore the significant performance enhancements achieved through both annealing and grafting processes in RO membranes.

The influence of relational, political, discursive, and structural dimensions of power on increasing equitable access to undergraduate research experiences
Authors: Friesen Rebecca S. , Cimetta Adriana D. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAttracting and retaining students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics majors, particularly those who are underrepresented, is a national concern. While undergraduate research experiences have been shown to increase retention and engagement, inequities in access exacerbate disparities. Understanding what hinders or facilitates the implementation of undergraduate research experiences is crucial. Using semi‐structured interviews with the project leaders and document analysis, the findings from this project expose the relational, political, discursive, and structural power dimensions hindering or facilitating the integration of research experiences in undergraduate science courses. Revealing these barriers and opportunities will inform future initiatives, such as those focused on implementing course‐based research experiences.
