Published: November 2023

AbstractSituational judgment tests (SJTs) are low‐fidelity simulations that are often used in personnel selection. Previous research has provided evidence that the ability to identify criteria (ATIC)—individuals' capability to detect underlying constructs in nontransparent personnel selection procedures—is relevant in simulations in personnel selection, such as assessment centers and situational interviews. Building on recent theorizing about response processes in SJTs as well as on previous empirical results, we posit that ATIC predicts SJT performance. We tested this hypothesis across two preregistered studies. In Study 1, a between‐subjects planned‐missingness design (N = 391 panelists) was employed and 55 selected items from five different SJTs were administered. Mixed‐effects‐modeling revealed a small effect for ATIC in predicting SJT responses. Results were replicated in Study 2 (N = 491 panelists), in which a complete teamwork SJT was administered with a high‐ or a low‐stakes instruction and showed either no or a small correlation with ATIC, respectively. We compare these findings with other studies, discuss implications for our understanding of response processes in SJTs, and derive avenues for future research.

AbstractThe aim was to analyse changes in the perceived quality of life of patients with an ostomy during the first year after surgery at two or three follow‐ups. This is a prospective study of a cohort of 55 patients who were ostomised between June 2021 and September 2022 and cared for under the recommendations set out in the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario® best practice guideline Supporting Adults Who Anticipate or Live with an Ostomy as part of the Best Practice Spotlight Organisation® (BPSO®) programme. The Stoma Quality of Life tool was used. A univariate analysis was performed to identify variables associated with a non‐improvement in quality of life. Variables showing p < 0.1 were included in a multivariate model. Patients with an ostomy exhibited a moderate‐to‐good perception of quality of life in both the personal and social dimensions, with no worsening over the first year. Being female (OR = 10.32) and being younger (OR = 0.89) were associated with a higher risk of no improvement in quality of life. The most frequent complications were urinary leakage (p = 0.027) and dermatitis (p = 0.052) at first follow‐up; and parastomal hernia (p = 0.009) and prolapse (p = 0.05) at third follow‐up. However, they did not lead to a worsening of quality of life, suggesting that these patients were adequately supported under the BPSO® programme.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThis retrospective cohort study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with postoperative wound infections in patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation for tibial plateau fractures. The study was conducted between January 2019 and December 2022, with stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected from the Electronic Health Record system, including demographic information, lifestyle habits, comorbid conditions and surgical variables like preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores. The IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 27.0, was utilized for rigorous statistical analyses. Univariate analysis identified several factors, such as body mass index (BMI), smoking status and diabetes mellitus, as significant predictors of postoperative wound infection. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that BMI, type of fracture (open vs. closed), surgery duration exceeding 150 min, preoperative albumin levels below 35 g/L and preoperative ASA score of 3 or higher were significant independent risk factors (p < 0.05). Patients with open fractures, preoperative malnutrition, elevated preoperative ASA scores and a history of smoking are at a heightened risk of developing postoperative wound infections. Timely preoperative evaluation of these risk factors is crucial for minimizing the risk of surgical site infections and optimizing clinical management.

Published: November 2023

AbstractAimTo investigate the experiences of men struggling with infertility.DesignThis is a qualitative study, and the report follows the COREQ checklist.MethodsA team of nurse researchers conducted this research in Iran to examine the experiences of 11 men with primary infertility. The participants were selected through targeted sampling and underwent in‐depth semi‐structured interviews. The data collected was analysed using the conventional content analysis method outlined by Krippendorff. To ensure the study's accuracy, it followed the criteria proposed by Lincoln and Guba.ResultsThe central theme, “the threat to masculinity,” was identified upon analysis. It comprises six categories: psychological pressure of confronting reality, frustration, discomfort with others, holding out against ridicule, tolerating unwanted opinions and advice and concealment of infertility and therapy.ConclusionThis study brings attention to the challenge to masculinity that men with primary infertility face as their central struggle. It highlights the importance of culturally sensitive care from healthcare professionals, emotional support, counselling services and public awareness to reduce the stigma surrounding male infertility. It can be valuable to evaluate and enhance infertility care in various settings.Implications for the Profession and Patient CareTo provide the best possible care for infertile men, it would be beneficial for nurses to pay more attention to sociocultural factors. Fertility care should be respectful of patients' beliefs and backgrounds.ImpactWhat problem did the study address?

Infertility care has been the subject of recent research, focusing on the impact of sociocultural factors.

Male‐factor infertility is often overlooked in clinical care literature.

There is a correlation between cultural background and men's acceptance of reproductive healthcare.

What were the main findings?

Male infertility is often avoided in discussions due to its perceived threat to masculinity.

Multiple factors, including societal norms, cultural expectations and personal experiences, influence the nature of men's struggles with infertility.

Providing emotional support and counselling services is crucial so that men can openly discuss their fertility challenges and seek treatment without feeling ashamed or judged.

Where and on whom will the research have an impact?

Raising public awareness and providing education about male infertility is crucial.

Nurses must exhibit cultural sensitivity while caring for men experiencing infertility.

Policymakers need to implement strategies to reduce the stigma surrounding male infertility.

Reporting MethodThe study is reported using the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ).Patient or Public ContributionNo public or patient involvement.
Sensing of concealed ventricular extrasystoles by pacemakers. Fifty years later
Authors: Barold S. Serge , Kucher Andreas 
Published: November 2023

AbstractWhether a pacemaker can sense concealed ventricular extrasystoles still remains debatable since its occurrence was first proposed in 1972. It must remain a diagnosis of exclusion if it really exists. Isoelectric complexes and all the causes of oversensing especially discrete false signals generated by a defective pacemaker lead must be excluded before concealed ventricular extrasystoles can be postulated.

Published: November 2023

AbstractRadiofrequency (RF) ablation of intramural ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) may require advanced ablation techniques to achieve effective energy transfer to the targeted tissue. As an alternative to standard RF ablation, catheter ablation can also be conducted in bipolar configuration when two ablation catheters participate in the RF circuit. This strategy has proved to result in deeper lesion formation and may be effective for eliminating arrhythmias that have been refractory to standard ablation. In this article, we provide a step‐by‐step guide on when and how to perform bipolar ablation of VAs.

Published: November 2023

AbstractBackgroundSeveral studies have been conducted on using platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) to treat cosmetic issues. Nonetheless, no bibliometric analyses of publications in this field exist. Bibliometrics is an effective tool for methodically assessing the current state of research on a particular topic. This study examines the literature published in this field since 2000 and depicts the resulting network.MethodsThe Web of Science Core Collection was searched for any publications mentioning the use of PRP in cosmetic or aesthetic therapy published between 2001 and 2022. The author, region, institution, journal, cited journal, and keywords were extracted, and the bibliometric analysis was carried out using CiteSpace and R studio.ResultsThere were a total of 306 items retrieved. The first publication in this field appeared in 2001, and the number of articles published increased over the next 21 years. Saedi Nazanin is the author with the most publications. The most prolific nations and institutions were the United States and the Fourth Military Medical University, respectively. Similarly, most articles and citations were found in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. After performing a cluster analysis on the keywords of published publications, we discovered that most of the published literature focused on using PRP in rejuvenation, mechanism, and combination with MSCs. These topics are still at the frontier of future research.ConclusionSince the first study in this field was published in 2001, PRP used in cosmetic clinics has been studied. Although early effects have been observed, numerous challenges remain, including a lack of higher‐quality clinical studies and explanations of PRP's mechanism. The bibliometric analysis conducted for the purpose of this article provides a summary of academic hotspots and research frontiers, as well as insights and pointers for future productive research.
The link between singlehood in young adulthood and effects of romantic separation
Authors: van den Berg Lonneke , Verbakel Ellen 
Published: November 2023

AbstractObjectiveThis article aims to uncover long‐term effects of singlehood after leaving home by examining whether individuals fare better after separation from their first cohabiting partner if they were not immediately coupled after leaving home.BackgroundSinglehood after leaving home offers young people the opportunity to invest in their development, and social and economic resources. From a life‐course perspective, it is expected that these investments may advance their resilience to instability later in life. These long‐term effects are expected to be gender specific.MethodThis article employs longitudinal data from the German Socio‐Economic Panel, following individuals over a five‐year period around separation. Using individuals fixed effects models, we estimate life satisfaction and labor earnings before and after separation from the first cohabiting partner.ResultsThis article finds a decline in life satisfaction after separation for all groups. Among men, declines in life satisfaction after separation were smaller if they were initially single and if they were single for a longer period, providing support for the resilience hypothesis. Among women, earnings after separation improved most if they were immediately coupled after leaving home. An ad hoc explanation for the latter finding is that initially single women already earned more and had to make fewer adjustments to cope with separation effects. The length of singlehood was not related to separation effects on earnings.ConclusionThis article shows that singlehood in young adulthood may have a developmental function over the life‐course, buffering some of the negative effects of separation.

Cumulative contextual risk, mothers' and fathers' parenting, and adolescents' psychosocial problems in Ghana
Authors: Salaam Braima 
Published: November 2023

AbstractLimited research exists on the association between cumulative risk factors and the psychosocial well‐being of adolescents in low‐income, culturally distinct settings. This study aimed to fill this gap by examining the impact of cumulative risk exposure on Ghanaian adolescents' psychosocial problems and exploring the mediating role of parenting. The study involved 212 adolescents (61% girls; average age = 13.38) who completed measures on cumulative risk, maternal and paternal warmth, behavioral control, anxiety, depression, overt aggression, and relational aggression. The results indicated that cumulative risk indirectly influenced adolescents' depression and overt aggression through paternal warmth. Furthermore, paternal behavioral control mediated the relationship between cumulative risk and adolescents' overt aggression. Findings highlight the importance of fathers' parenting in mediating cumulative risk effects.

AbstractKelp forests provide vital ecosystem services such as carbon storage and cycling, and understanding primary production dynamics regarding seasonal and spatial variations is essential. We conducted surveys at three sites in southeast Tasmania, Australia, that had different levels of water motion, across four seasons to determine seasonal primary production and carbon storage as living biomass for kelp beds of Lessonia corrugata (Order Laminariales). We quantified blade growth, erosion rates, and the variation in population density and estimated both the net biomass accumulation (NBA) per square meter and the carbon standing stock. We observed a significant difference in blade growth and erosion rates between seasons and sites. Spring had the highest growth rate (0.02 g C · blade−1 · d−1) and NBA (1.62 g C · m−2 · d−1), while summer had the highest blade erosion (0.01 g C · blade−1 · d−1), with a negative NBA (−1.18 g C · m−2 · d−1). Sites exhibiting lower blade erosion rates demonstrated notably greater NBA than sites with elevated erosion rates. The sites with the highest water motion had the slowest erosion rates. Moreover, the most wave‐exposed site had the densest populations, resulting in the highest NBA and a greater standing stock. Our results reveal a strong seasonal and water motion influence on carbon dynamics in L. corrugata populations. This knowledge is important for understanding the dynamics of the carbon cycle in coastal regions.

SummaryObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent yet underdiagnosed disease that creates a large economic burden on the United States healthcare system. In this retrospective study, we tested the hypothesis that adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy, the ‘gold standard’ treatment for OSA, is associated with reduced healthcare resource utilisation and costs. We linked de‐identified payer‐sourced medical claims and objective PAP usage data for patients newly diagnosed with OSA. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to create balanced groups of patients who were either adherent, intermediately adherent, or non‐adherent to PAP therapy. From a sample of 179,542 patients (average age 52.5 years, 61% male), 37% were adherent, 40% intermediate, and 23% non‐adherent. During the first year, PAP adherence was significantly associated with fewer emergency room visits (mean [SD] adherent: 0.39 [1.20] versus intermediate: 0.47 [1.30], p < 0.001; versus non‐adherent: 0.54 [1.44], p < 0.001), all‐cause hospitalisations (mean [SD] adherent: 0.09 [0.43] versus intermediate: 0.12 [0.51], p < 0.001; versus non‐adherent: 0.13 [0.55], p < 0.001), and lower total costs (mean [SD] adherent $5874 [8045] versus intermediate $6523 [9759], p < 0.001; versus non‐adherent $6355 [10,517], p < 0.001). Results were similar in the second year of PAP use. These results provide additional evidence from a large, diverse sample to support the diagnosis and treatment of OSA and encourage long‐term adherence to PAP therapy.
Environmental filtering along a bathymetric gradient: A metabarcoding meta‐analysis of free‐living nematodes
Authors: Macheriotou Lara , Derycke Sofie , Vanreusel Ann 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIdentifying and understanding patterns of biological diversity is crucial at a time when even the most remote and pristine marine ecosystems are threatened by resource exploitation such as deep‐seabed mining. Metabarcoding provides the means through which one can perform comprehensive investigations of diversity by examining entire assemblages simultaneously. Nematodes commonly represent the most abundant infaunal metazoan group in marine soft sediments. In this meta‐analysis, we compiled all publicly available metabarcoding datasets targeting the 18S rRNA v1‐v2 region from sediment samples to conduct a global‐scale examination of nematode amplicon sequence variant (ASV) alpha diversity patterns and phylogenetic community structure at different depths and habitats. We found that nematode ASV richness followed a parabolic trend, increasing from the intertidal to the shelf, reaching a maximum in the bathyal and decreasing in the abyssal zone. No depth‐ or habitat‐specific assemblages were identified as a large fraction of genera were shared. Contrastingly, the vast majority of ASVs were unique to each habitat and/or depth zone; genetic diversity was thus highly localized. Overwhelmingly, nematode ASVs in all habitats exhibited phylogenetic clustering, pointing to environmental filtering as the primary force defining community assembly rather than competitive interactions. This finding stresses the importance of habitat preservation for the maintenance of marine nematode diversity.
The impact of running on gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome

Published: November 2023

AbstractIntroductionPhysical activity has been suggested to alleviate gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); however, evidence is scarce. Running has become increasingly popular and may be beneficial for patients with IBS. To obtain more insight in the potential application of running as therapy, we aimed to explore the impact of running and its intensity on GI symptoms in patients with IBS.MethodsData from a large observational study in runners were used for this nested case–control study, which included 153 runners with IBS and 153 controls. All participants had completed a questionnaire on personal characteristics, running characteristics and GI symptoms. Regarding GI symptoms, the severity of nine symptoms was asked, both at rest and during and/or shortly (up to 3 h) after running. Each symptom could be scored on a scale from 0 (not bothersome) to 100 (very bothersome), resulting in a maximum total score of 900 points.Key ResultsThe prevalence and total severity score of GI symptoms were higher in runners with IBS than in controls, both at rest and during running. Among runners with IBS, the median (25th–75th percentile) total severity score during/after running was significantly lower than at rest (118 [50–200] vs. 150 [90–217]), while in controls no significant difference between running and rest was observed. Analyses stratified for running intensity revealed that the beneficial effect in runners with IBS was present when their most intensive training session was moderately intensive or intensive but not very intensive.Conclusions & InferencesRunning, particularly on moderate intensity, could have a beneficial effect on GI symptoms in patients with IBS.
Maximum sustainable yield as a reference point in the presence of fishing effort that follows an ideal free distribution
Authors: Gillis Darren M. , Koscielny Jonah , Blanz Benjamin 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe concept of maximum sustainable yield (MSY), and the underlying Schaefer model, remain relevant in fisheries management today in spite of past difficulties. However, this model is often applied without the consideration of the spatial structure or dynamics of fishing activities. We expand the Schaefer model to account for multiple fishing sites and fishing activities (effort) that follow an ideal free distribution (IFD, a form of Nash equilibrium) driven by exploitation. We explore this conceptual model using both analytical and numerical solutions. MSY across the fishery is unaffected by the spatial structure when fishing is allocated independently within sites. However, in other cases IFD effort dynamics depress MSY and modify the values of associated reference points. The game theoretic aspect of fleet dynamics should be considered in the use of MSY as a management reference point or during the application of the Schaefer model to data‐limited fisheries.
