AbstractSilica‐derived nanostructured catalysts (SDNCs) are a class of materials synthesized using nanocasting and templating techniques, which involve the sacrificial removal of a silica template to generate highly porous nanostructured materials. The surface of these nanostructures is functionalized with a variety of electrocatalytically active metal and non‐metal atoms. SDNCs have attracted considerable attention due to their unique physicochemical properties, tunable electronic configuration, and microstructure. These properties make them highly efficient catalysts and promising electrode materials for next generation electrocatalysis, energy conversion, and energy storage technologies. The continued development of SDNCs is likely to lead to new and improved electrocatalysts and electrode materials. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the development of SDNCs for electrocatalysis and energy storage applications. It analyzes 337,061 research articles published in the Web of Science (WoS) database up to December 2022 using the keywords “silica”, “electrocatalysts”, “ORR”, “OER”, “HER”, “HOR”, “CO2RR”, “batteries”, and “supercapacitors”. The review discusses the application of SDNCs for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR), supercapacitors, lithium‐ion batteries, and thermal energy storage applications. It concludes by discussing the advantages and limitations of SDNCs for energy applications.
Investigating the effects of customer traits on preference for last‐mile delivery service attributes: When the product introduces a task

Published: March 2024

AbstractAs e‐commerce emerges as a central mechanism through which customers make purchases, so does the diversity of products they choose to purchase online. One of the fastest‐growing product categories is that of large and oversized items, often referred to as “big and bulky” items. This trend is particularly pronounced in the United States, with the online appliance and furniture markets experiencing substantial growth. Significant growth is also observed in the last‐mile delivery services sector for these large items. This presents a plethora of opportunities for industry stakeholders. Capitalizing on these opportunities and achieving service differentiation requires significant strategic investments in specialized equipment and capabilities by retailers and logistics service providers. These capabilities differ significantly from those typically required to deliver standard consumer products. This shift in operational context requires a deep understanding of customer preferences regarding big and bulky item delivery services. In this study, we determine customer preferences for big and bulky item delivery service features and quantify the effect of customer psychographic traits on those preferences. We accomplish this by conducting a choice‐based conjoint experiment. Our findings indicate significant effects that bear both research and managerial implications.

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to review findings from a large prospective national database of chemosensory disturbances associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) infection.Data SourcesThe Virginia Commonwealth University Smell and Taste Center national database of COVID‐19 chemosensory disturbances.MethodsA series of online surveys, first opened on April 10, 2020, was made accessible nationwide to any adult with sudden chemosensory dysfunction since January 2020. Participants received subsequent follow‐up surveys 14 days, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after enrollment. An additional survey was sent to all participants on May 28, 2022 to assess long‐term outcomes. Information pertaining to demographics, symptoms, comorbidities, treatments, and life impact was collected.ResultsOf 363 participants who reported complete smell recovery, 51.2% recovered within 1 month, 70% within 3 months, and 79% within 6 months, while 8.8% took over 1 year to completely recover. Among all participants, 7.5% had no smell recovery. Positive predictors of recovery included age <40, male gender, and the presence of nasal congestion. Negative predictors included difficulty breathing and prior head injury. Many participants reported a decrease in quality of life and the presence of potential safety hazards associated with decreased smell loss.ConclusionsMost subjects with COVID‐19‐related chemosensory dysfunction recover, with the majority noting complete recovery within weeks of infection. Those aged over 40 years and female gender were associated with lower rates of recovery. A considerable number of participants reported significant impact on quality of life and safety.

Published: March 2024

AbstractEndoscopic resection with transnasal craniectomy (ERTC) and skull‐base reconstruction (SBR) are effective techniques for sinonasal/skull‐base malignancies treatment. Endoscopic endonasal SBR techniques are mainly based on homologue‐free grafts with excellent outcomes, but alternative techniques can be used such as regional vascularized pedicled flaps or local pedicled flap‐like Hadad–Bassagasteguy nasoseptal flap and the septal flip flap (SFF). The purpose of this article is to describe an inferiorly based septal flap aimed to promote mucosal healing and improve patients’ quality of life. We reported a clinical case of 51‐year‐old female affected by olfactory neuroblastoma, Hyams‐Ⅱ, Kadish‐INSICA‐B treated with unilateral ERTC and SBR with fascia lata, SFF, and modified reverse septal flap (mRSF). The mRSF harvesting is described in detail, to obtain a lower hinged flap with random vascularization, which can be rotated to cover the exposed bone of the nasal cavity floor. Endoscopic evaluations immediately showed rapid healing with a minimal amount of nasal crusting, despite the adjuvant treatment and the short time since the surgery. This surgical technique is a simple and viable way to boost nasal healing after endoscopic endonasal surgery and for nasal floor resurfacing after septal removal following a unilateral ERTC.

AbstractThe conventional therapeutic treatment of triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) is negatively influenced by the development of tumor cell drug resistant, and systemic toxicity of therapeutic agents due to off‐target activity. In accordance with research findings, nanoparticles (NPs) responsive to the tumor microenvironment (TME) have been discovered for providing opportunities to selectively target tumor cells via active targeting or Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) effect. The combination of the TME control and therapeutic NPs offers promising solutions for improving the prognosis of the TNBC because the TME actively participates in tumor growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. The NP‐based systems leverage stimulus‐responsive mechanisms, such as low pH value, hypoxic, excessive secretion enzyme, concentration of glutathione (GSH)/reactive oxygen species (ROS), and high concentration of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to combat TNBC progression. Concurrently, NP‐based stimulus‐responsive introduces a novel approach for drug dosage design, administration, and modification of the pharmacokinetics of conventional chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the strengths, limitations, applications, perspectives, and future expectations of both novel and traditional stimulus‐responsive NP‐based drug delivery systems for improving outcomes in the medical practice of TNBC.This article is categorized under:

Evaluations of the effects of different flame retardants combinations on particleboards produced using urea–formaldehyde resin
Authors: Gumus Nur , Doganci Erdinc , Aytac Ayse 
Published: March 2024

AbstractNowadays, using flame-retardant chemicals is gaining importance in chipboard production. Melamine resins to produce chipboard are preferred to provide flame retardancy properties with a cost of approximately 2.5 times the urea–formaldehyde (UF) resin. In this study, the UF resin to produce the chipboard was preferred due to its economical availability. To improve the flame retardancy properties of the chipboard, phosphate-based and inorganic flame retardants were used in the chipboards. In chipboard production, oak, pine, poplar, sawdust, urea–formaldehyde resin as adhesive, flame retardant chemicals like triphenyl phosphate (TPP), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and calcium gluconate (CaG) were used. Flame retardant chemicals were added to chipboards in single and double compositions and prepared by pressing method. Mechanical (tensile, bending, and surface strength), physical (humidity, density, formaldehyde emission), and fire (limiting oxygen index (LOI), cone calorimeter, and UL-94 vertical) tests were performed on wooden boards. It has been observed that the use of different types of flame retardant and their combinations in chipboard does not significantly change the mechanical properties. It was seen that the free formaldehyde emission rate decreased by using flame retardant added compared to the control sample. The chipboard samples with added flame-retardant chemicals have entered the V-0 rating in the UL-94. LOI values of the chipboard samples containing 50% CaG-50% APP and 50% TPP—50% CaG were observed as 29.7% and 29.8%, respectively. Besides, the highest heat release rate (HRR) reduction was obtained in the chipboard sample containing 50% CaG—50% APP.
Endoscopic trans-eustachian tube approach: identifying the precise landmarks, a novel radiological and anatomical evaluation
Authors: Karadag Ali , Yuncu Mustafa Eren , Middlebrooks Erik H. , Tanriover Necmettin 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Purpose
The endoscopic trans-eustachian approach (ETETA) is a less invasive approach to the infratemporal fossa (ITF), providing superior exposure compared to traditional transcranial approaches. The anatomy of the pharyngotympanic (eustachian) tube and adjacent neurovascular structures is complex and requires in-depth knowledge to safely perform this approach. We present a cadaveric and radiological assessment of critical anatomic considerations for ETETA.

Methods
Six adult cadaveric heads were dissected alongside examination of 50 paranasal sinus CT scans. Key anatomic relationships of the pharyngotympanic tube and adjacent structures were qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated. Descriptive statistics were performed for quantitative data.

Results
Anatomical and radiological measurements showed lateralization of the pharyngotympanic tube allows access to the ITF. The pharyngotympanic tube has bony and cartilaginous parts with the junction formed by the sphenoid spine and foramen spinosum. The bony part and tendon of the tensor tympani muscle were located at the posterior genu of the internal carotid artery. The anterior and inferior wall of the carotid canal was located between the horizontal segment of the internal carotid artery and petrous segment of the cartilaginous pharyngotympanic tube.

Conclusion
The combination of preoperative radiographic assessment and anatomical correlation demonstrates a safe and effective approach to ETETA, which allowed satisfactory visualization of ITF. The morphological evaluation showed that the lateralization of the pharyngotympanic tube and related structures allowed a surgical corridor to reach the ITF. Endoscopic surgery through the pharyngotympanic tube is challenging, and in-depth understanding of the key anatomic relationships is critical for performing this approach.

The cost evaluation of day-case compared to inpatient cochlear implantation in adults: subanalysis of a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Derks Laura S. M. , Smit Adriana L. , Thomeer Hans G. X. M. , Grolman Wilko , Stokroos Robert J. , Wegner Inge 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Objective
To investigate the assumption that day-case cochlear implantation is associated with lower costs, compared to inpatient cochlear implantation, while maintaining equal quality of life (QoL) and hearing outcomes, for the Dutch healthcare setting.

Study design
A single-center, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial in a tertiary referral center.

Methods
Thirty adult patients with post-lingual bilateral sensorineural hearing loss eligible for unilateral cochlear implantation surgery were randomly assigned to either the day-case or inpatient treatment group (i.e., one night admission). We performed an intention-to-treat evaluation of the difference of the total health care-related costs, hospital and out of hospital costs, between day-case and inpatient cochlear implantation, from a hospital and patient perspective over the course of one year. Audiometric outcomes, assessed using CVC scores, and QoL, assessed using the EQ-5D and HUI3 questionnaires, were taken into account.

Results
There were two drop-outs. The total health care-related costs were €41,828 in the inpatient group (n = 14) and €42,710 in the day-case group (n = 14). The mean postoperative hospital stay was 1.2 days (mean costs of €1,069) in the inpatient group and 0.7 days (mean costs of €701) for the day-case group. There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative hospital and out of hospital costs. The QoL at 2 months and 1 year postoperative, measured by the EQ-5D index value and HUI3 showed no statistically significant difference. The EQ-5D VAS score measured at 1 year postoperatively was statistically significantly higher in the inpatient group (84/100) than in the day-case group (65/100). There were no differences in postoperative complications, objective hearing outcomes, and number of postoperative hospital and out of hospital visits.

Conclusion
A day-case approach to cochlear implant surgery does not result in a statistically significant reduction of health care-related costs compared to an inpatient approach and does not affect the surgical outcome (complications and objective hearing measurements), QoL, and postoperative course (number of postoperative hospital and out of hospital visits).

Efficacy of a stannous fluoride dentifrice for relieving dentinal hypersensitivity in Chinese population: an 8-week randomized clinical trial
Authors: Li Rui , Yang Wenjie , Grimaldi Roberta , Zeng Peter , Smith Gary , Chen Xi 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Objectives
To compare the effectiveness of using a 0.454% stannous fluoride-containing dentifrice twice daily in relieving dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) in a Chinese population.

Materials and methods
This was a single-centre, randomized, controlled, examiner-blind, three-treatment-arm, parallel-group study in participants with clinically diagnosed DH. Subjects who met inclusion criteria (n = 197) were randomly allocated into 3 groups: test group (n = 66)—using a 0.454% stannous fluoride-containing dentifrice twice daily; positive control group (n = 64)—using a 5.0% calcium sodium phosphosilicate-containing dentifrice twice daily; negative control group (n = 67)—using a 1150 ppm of NaF dentifrice twice daily. Status of DH was assessed at week 4 and week 8 by the same independent examiner. Changes from baseline in Schiff sensitivity score, tactile threshold and Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ) score were analysed using analysis of covariance models. The DHEQ evaluated subject-perceived oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).

Results
Statistically significant improvements in mean Schiff scores (p < 0.0001 for all products at Weeks 4 and 8), tactile threshold (p < 0.0001 for test and negative control at Weeks 4 and 8: Week 4 p = 0.0040 and Week 8 p < 0.0001 for positive control) and all DHEQ scores (p < 0.01 for all groups) were observed. No statistically significant differences were observed in the adjusted mean between all dentifrices at both timepoints, potentially driven by a placebo effect. Forty-two treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported (n = 32 subjects), with 2 serious AEs (n = 1) in the test group. TEAEs were not considered treatment-related.

Conclusions
All groups demonstrated statistically significant improvements in Schiff score, tactile threshold and OHRQoL. However, due to a possible placebo effect in the negative control, there were no statistically significant differences between the dentifrices.

Clinical relevance
This study adds to the growing research exploring why the placebo effect is a common phenomenon in DH studies.

Dietary patterns among U.S. food insecure cancer survivors and the risk of mortality: NHANES 1999–2018
Authors: Maino Vieytes Christian A. , Zhu Ruoqing , Gany Francesca , Koester Brenda D. , Arthur Anna E. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Food insecurity—the lack of unabated access to nutritious foods—is a consequence many cancer survivors face. Food insecurity is associated with adverse health outcomes and lower diet quality in the general public. The goal of this analysis was to extract major and prevailing dietary patterns among food insecure cancer survivors from observed 24-h recall data and evaluate their relationship to survival after a cancer diagnosis.

Methods
We implemented two dietary patterns analysis approaches: penalized logistic regression and principal components analysis. Using nationally representative data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) study, we extracted three dietary patterns. Additionally, we evaluated the HEI-2015 for comparison. Cox proportional hazards models assessed the relationship between the diet quality indices and survival after a cancer diagnosis.

Results
There were 981 deaths from all causes and 343 cancer-related deaths. After multivariable adjustment, we found higher risks of all-cause mortality associated with higher adherence to Pattern #1 (HR 1.25; 95% CI 1.09–1.43) and Pattern #2 (HR 1.15; 95% CI 1.01–1.31) among cancer survivors.

Conclusion
Among all cancer survivors, higher adherence to major and prevailing dietary patterns from the U.S. food insecure cancer survivor population may lead to worse survival outcomes.
The role of cognitive legitimacy in social entrepreneurship: a multilevel analysis
Authors: Li Xing , Cai Wanxiang , Bosma Niels 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
While the role of cognitive legitimacy in new organizational forms’ development has been extensively studied, the cognitive legitimacy of social entrepreneurship (SE) has so far received limited attention. Drawing from legitimacy theory and organizational ecology literature, we theorize and explore how SE obtains cognitive legitimacy via its prevalence and the legitimacy spillovers of the two categories it encapsulates: new business and nonprofit organizations. Using data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, we find evidence for the existence of legitimacy spillovers from both new business and nonprofit organizations to SE activity. Second, the perceived density of social enterprises is significantly related to individuals’ engagement in SE. Third, we find the effect of legitimacy spillover effects is more significant when individuals perceive a lower density of social enterprises. Our study contributes to the research on SE, organizational ecology, and hybrid organizations by exploring the multiple sources for increasing SE’s legitimacy, particularly highlighting the existence of cross-categories legitimacy spillover effect within hybrid organizations.

AbstractTo evaluate the effect of trace element (TE) release from fish farms on seagrass Posidonia oceanica, we compared TE concentrations (As, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, V, Zn) in shoots near fish cages (Station ‘Cage’) with those away from them (Station ‘Control’) in two fish farm facilities (Site 1 and Site 2, North Aegean Sea, Greece). We assessed the present (i.e., 2021, year of sampling) and past (reconstructed period 2012–2020) accumulation of TEs using the living compartments (leaf blades, sheaths, rhizomes, roots, epiphytes) and the dead sheaths, respectively. We also assessed possible seagrass degradation by reconstructing past rhizome production. P. oceanica rhizome production at the ‘Cage’ stations was up to 50% lower than at the ‘Control’ stations. Most TE concentrations were higher at ‘Cage’ stations, but the differences often depended on the seagrass living compartment. Significant differentiation between ‘Cage’ and ‘Control’ stations was observed based on the TE concentrations of the dead sheaths during 2012–2020. The contamination level at the ‘Cage’ stations was mostly moderate in Site 1 and low in Site 2, during the reconstructed period, while an increasing contamination trend was found for certain potential phytotoxic TEs (As, Cu, Cd, Mo, V). Our results emphasize the need for the aquaculture industry to work towards a more ecologically aware approach.
