Published: February 2024

AbstractReservoir monitoring is essential to guarantee safe operations for all activities involving the production and injection of fluids into the subsurface, such as hydrocarbon production, gas storage and the exploitation of geothermal reservoirs. For this purpose, microseismic monitoring networks are operated in real time in order to identify and locate any possible seismic events in the vicinity of the reservoir. The goal of this study is to investigate whether the large amount of ambient seismic noise recorded by seismic reservoir monitoring networks can be used to infer a one‐dimensional shear‐wave velocity profile representative of the area covered by the network. Shear‐wave velocities are generally difficult to characterize and constrain, yet they are key to precisely locate seismic events. The adopted workflow consists of three steps: first, the cross‐correlation functions between all station pairs are retrieved, using 1 year of continuous data; second, the average group‐ and phase velocity dispersion curves are extracted; third, a joint group and phase velocity inversion is done. For validation, the obtained average shear‐wave velocity profile is compared with a regional model of the area as well as with local shear‐wave velocity measurements from a sonic log.

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe globally distributed basidiomycete genus Armillaria includes wood decomposers that can act as opportunistic parasites, causing deadly root rot on woody plants. To test whether RNA viruses are involved in this opportunistic behaviour, a large isolate collection of five Armillaria species collected over 40 years in Switzerland from trees, dead wood and soil was analysed. De novo assembly of RNA‐Seq data revealed 21 viruses, 14 of which belong to putative new species. Two dsRNA viruses and an unclassified Tymovirales are formally described for the first time for Armillaria. One mitovirus occurred with a high prevalence of 71.1%, while all other viruses were much less prevalent (0.6%–16.9%). About half of all viruses were found only in one fungal species, others occurred in 2–6 fungal species. Co‐infections of 2–7 viruses per isolate were not uncommon (34.9%), and most viruses persisted circulating within fungal populations for decades. Some viruses were related to viruses associated with other Armillaria species, supporting the hypothesis that virus transmission can occur between different fungal species. Although no specific correlation between viruses and the fungal trophic strategy was found, this study opens new insights into viral diversity hidden in the soil microbiome.
The Norwich Exile Community and the Dutch Revolt
Authors: JOBY CHRISTOPHER 
Published: February 2024

AbstractA recent trend in historiography on the Dutch Revolt is to examine the role of transnational networks and how the positions and practices that exiles developed outside the Low Countries contributed to the Revolt and helped to shape the confessional landscape of the emerging Dutch Republic. A recent study by Silke Muylaert (2020) on migrant churches in England engages with this trend. One church that Muylaert analyses is the Flemish church in Norwich. This article builds on work on Norwich by Muylaert and other authors such as Raingard Esser to analyse the transnational networks to which members of the Norwich community belonged and the positions and practices that they developed, which contributed to events before and at the start of the Dutch Revolt, and specifically to shaping the nascent Dutch Reformed Church.It does so in four ways. First, it analyses the prosopographies of exiles who returned to the Low Countries to participate in sectarian activities in the prelude to the Dutch Revolt. Second, it analyses the role of preachers in disputes that arose amongst the exiles about whether to support armed resistance against the Spanish in the Low Countries. Third, it examines the impact of publications printed in Norwich by exiles in the years immediately before the start of the Dutch Revolt. One important work first printed in Norwich was Den Ziekentroost (Comfort for the Sick), which became a key text for pastoral care in the Dutch Reformed Church. Fourth, the article analyses how exiles in Norwich helped to build up the Dutch Reformed Church and shape the confessional landscape in the Dutch Republic. Amongst the activities they engaged in were preaching, printing, bookselling, and translation.

Published: February 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate fetal growth trajectories and risks of small and large for gestational age (SGA and LGA), and macrosomia in pregnancies after fresh and frozen embryo transfer (ET), and natural conception (NC).DesignLongitudinal population‐based cohort study.SettingSwedish national registers.PopulationA total of 196 008 singleton pregnancies between 2013 and 2017.MethodsOf all singleton pregnancies resulting in live births in the Swedish Pregnancy Register, 10 970 fresh ET, 6520 frozen ET, and 178 518 NC pregnancies with ultrasound data were included. A general least squares model was used to examine the effect of fresh or frozen ET on fetal growth while adjusting for confounders.Main Outcome MeasuresFetal growth velocity. SGA, LGA and macrosomia.ResultsAt 120 days, fetal weights were lower in fresh ET pregnancies compared with NC pregnancies. Thereafter fresh ET as well as FET fetuses had higher fetal weights than NC fetuses, with no differences between themselves until the second trimester. From 210 days, FET fetuses were heavier than fresh ET fetuses, whereas fresh ET fetuses had lower fetal weights than NC fetuses from 245 days. After fresh ET, SGA was more frequent, whereas LGA and macrosomia were less frequent, than after FET.ConclusionsThis study gives new insights into the differences in fetal growth dynamics between fresh and frozen ET and NC pregnancies. Clinically relevant differences in proportions of SGA, LGA and macrosomia were observed.
Compensating for the Indirect Effects of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine – Varied approaches from Bulgaria, Poland and Romania
Authors: Beluhova‐Uzunova Rositsa , Mann Stefan , Prisacariu Maria , Sadłowski Adrian 
Published: February 2024

SummaryFollowing the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the European Union (EU) lifted import tariffs for Ukrainian commodities to maintain Ukrainian exports to the world market. This led to a considerable decrease of prices for cereals and oilseeds in affected Member States. The European Commission has allocated 56 million euros to farmers in Bulgaria, Poland and Romania to compensate them for losses caused by this opening of the EU. This money has been supplemented by another 56 million euros from national budgets. As the funds were insufficient to fully compensate farmers for their losses, the three Member States had to define selective criteria when deciding on the distribution of the funds. Bulgaria opted for acreage‐based compensation payments for sunflower producers, and Romania chose to support farmers storing wheat, thereby excluding smaller producers without storage facilities. Poland compensated a large range of crop producers but cut the amount paid to the largest farms. A comparison of these three approaches is a good case in point for demonstrating the interplay between emergency relief and political priorities of national governments.

Published: February 2024

AbstractBackgroundThere is a paucity of data on the incidence of central venous catheter tip misplacements after the implementation of ultrasound guidance during insertion. The aims of the present study were to determine the incidence of tip misplacements and to identify independent variables associated with tip misplacement.MethodsAll jugular and subclavian central venous catheter insertions in patients ≥16 years with a post‐procedural chest radiography at four hospitals were included. Each case was reviewed for relevant catheter data and radiologic evaluations of chest radiographies. Tip misplacements were classified as ‘any tip misplacement’, ‘minor tip misplacement’ or ‘major tip misplacement’. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to investigate associations between predefined independent variables and tip misplacements.ResultsA total of 8556 central venous catheter insertions in 5587 patients were included. Real‐time ultrasound guidance was used in 91% of all insertions. Any tip misplacement occurred (95% confidence interval) in 3.7 (3.3–4.1)% of the catheterisations, and 2.1 (1.8–2.4)% were classified as major tip misplacements. The multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that female patient gender, subclavian vein insertions, number of skin punctures and limited operator experience were associated with a higher risk of major tip misplacement, whereas increasing age and height were associated with a lower risk.ConclusionsIn this large prospective multicentre cohort study, performed in the ultrasound‐guided era, we demonstrated the incidence of tip misplacements to be 3.7 (3.3–4.1)%. Right internal jugular vein catheterisation had the lowest incidence of both minor and major tip misplacement.

AbstractBackgroundFever after cardiac arrest may impact outcome. We aimed to assess the incidence of fever in post‐cardiac arrest patients, factors predicting fever and its association with functional outcome in patients treated without targeted temperature management (TTM).MethodsThe FINNRESUSCI observational cohort study in 2010–2011 included intensive care unit (ICU)‐treated out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients from all five Finnish university hospitals and 14 of 15 central hospitals. This post hoc analysis included those FINNRESUSCI study patients who were not treated with TH. We defined fever as at least one temperature measurement of ≥37.8°C within 72 h of ICU admission. The primary outcome was favourable functional outcome at 12 months, defined as cerebral performance category (CPC) of 1 or 2. Binary logistic regression models including witnessed arrest, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), initial rhythm and delay of return of spontaneous circulation were used to compare the functional outcomes of the groups.ResultsThere were 67,428 temperature measurements from 192 patients, of whom 89 (46%) experienced fever. Twelve‐month CPC was missing in 7 patients, and 51 (28%) patients had favourable functional outcome at 12 months. The patients with shockable initial rhythms had a lower incidence of fever within 72 h of ICU admission (28% vs. 72%, p < .01), and the patients who experienced fever had a longer median return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) delay (20 [IQR 10–30] vs. 14 [IQR 9–22] min, p < .01). Only initial non‐shockable rhythm (OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.51–5.94) was associated with increased risk of fever within the first 72 h of ICU admission. Neither time in minutes nor area (minutes  degree celsius over threshold) over 37°C, 37.5°C, 38°C, 38.5°C, 39°C, 39.5°C or 40°C were significantly different in those with favourable functional outcome compared to those with unfavourable functional outcome within the first 24, 48 or 72 h from ICU admission. Fever was not associated with favourable functional outcome at 12 months (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.44–1.84).ConclusionsHalf of OHCA patients not treated with TTM developed fever. We found no association between fever and outcome.

AbstractBackground/ObjectivesMost studies about Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) are limited to case reports and patients of the same nationality. This study aimed to determine the self‐reported prevalence of signs, symptoms and treatment effectiveness in PLS patients from five Latin American countries.MethodsAn online survey was conducted among adult and paediatric patients from Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil. Data were collected using multiple‐choice, open‐ended and image‐chooser questions on demographics, signs and symptoms, perceived treatment effectiveness and quality of life.ResultsSeventeen patients (10 males and 7 females) aged 4–47 years were surveyed. All had palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. Other affected sites were the feet and hand dorsum (82.35%), Achilles tendon (88.24%), forearms (58.82%), legs (29.41%) and glutes (23.53%). They frequently presented hyperhidrosis and nail pitting. Four had a history of delayed umbilical cord separation. All used topical treatments, with moderate effectiveness; half used oral retinoids, perceived as highly effective. Most reported decreased quality of life and walking difficulties.ConclusionsThe study's results align with prior research on PLS, but reveal new insights, including the impact on patients' quality of life and a history of delayed umbilical cord separation. These findings warrant consideration in future research and patient care.
Disorientations: The Political Ecology of “Displacing” Floating Communities from Cambodia's Tonle Sap Lake

Published: February 2024

AbstractIn this article, we extend a theory of disorientations to reveal how attempts to fix and control both water and people are disrupting once‐fluid relationships between the Tonle Sap Lake and communities who have lived with‐on the lake for generations. Using ethnographic and participatory mapping methods, we examine the socio‐ecological dynamics that preceded and succeeded in the forced relocation of three floating communities in 2018. We argue that communities’ experiences challenge land‐centric and event‐centric understandings of displacement that pathologise fluid lifeways and fail to account for the materiality of water that has shaped floating villages’ multi‐generational relationships with their wetland ecology. We develop the concept of disorientations to illuminate villagers’ experiences of relocation within a collapsing aquatic ecosystem—a collapse catalysed by state efforts to impose fixity on both hydrological flow and community mobility. The lens of disorientations invites displacement debates to consider materialities of place—whether pulsing water or living, shifting soils.

AbstractIntroductionHighly effective long‐acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods reduce unintended pregnancy rates; however, these methods are underutilized. The LOWE trial intervention provided structured contraceptive counseling resulting in increased uptake of LARC. This longitudinal follow up of the LOWE study assessed the long‐term impact of the intervention by investigating the contraceptive use at 12 months with a focus on continued use of LARC.Material and methodsIn the cluster randomized LOWE trial, abortion, youth, and maternal health clinics were randomized to provide either structured contraceptive counseling (intervention) or standard contraceptive counseling (control). The intervention consisted of an educational video on contraceptive methods, key questions asked by the health care provider, a tiered effectiveness chart and a box of contraceptive models. Women ≥ age 18, who were sexually active or planned to be in the upcoming 6 months, could participate in the study. We assessed self‐reported contraceptive use at three, six and 12 months. Contraceptive choice and switches were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Contraceptive use at 12 months and continued use of LARC were analyzed using mixed logistic regressions, with clinic included as a random effect. Analysis with imputed values were performed for missing data to test the robustness of results.ResultsOverall, at 12 months, women in the intervention group were more likely to be using a LARC method (aOR 1.90, 95% CI: 1.31–2.76) and less likely to be using a short‐acting reversible contraceptive (SARC) method (aOR 0.66, 95% CI: 0.46–0.93) compared to the control group. Women counseled at abortion (aOR 2.97, 95% CI: 1.36–6.75) and youth clinics (aOR 1.81, 95% CI: 1.08–3.03) were more likely to be using a LARC method, while no significant difference was seen in maternal health clinics (aOR 1.84, 95% CI: 0.96–3.66). Among women initiating LARC, continuation rates at 12 months did not differ between study groups (63.9% vs. 63.7%). The most common reasons for contraceptive discontinuation were wish for pregnancy, followed by irregular bleeding, and mood changes.ConclusionsThe LOWE trial intervention resulted in increased LARC use also at 12 months. Strategies on how to sustain LARC use needs to be further investigated.

AbstractAimTo determine the prevalence of group B Streptococcus (GBS) carriage among parturient women and neonates, and the relative risk of vertical transmission, the relative risk of early and late‐onset GBS and the pooled incidence of early‐late‐onset GBS infection.MethodsA systematic search of relevant cohort studies from three electronic databases to identify all relevant studies published up to 7 November 2022. The review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Estimates were pooled using random‐effects meta‐analyses.ResultsA total of 54 articles with 355 787 matched pairs of parturient women and neonates from 30 countries were included in the analysis. The pooled prevalence of GBS colonisation was 17.1% among the pregnant women and 1.0% among neonates. The pooled prevalence of vertical transmission of GBS was 4.5% and the pooled relative risk of GBS colonisation of neonates born to mothers with GBS was 9.9.ConclusionWe support the implementation of targeted intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for all women who are positive for GBS as well as women with risks factors for early onset GBS in their infants regardless of their GBS colonisation status.

AbstractThe incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is increasing every year, with very high rates of mortality and disability. The prognosis of elderly ICH patients is extremely unfavorable. Interleukin, as an important participant in building the inflammatory microenvironment of the central nervous system after ICH, has long been the focus of neuroimmunology research. However, there are no studies on the role IL31 play in the pathologic process of ICH. We collected para‐lesion tissue for immunofluorescence and flow cytometry from the elderly and young ICH patients who underwent surgery. Here, we found that IL31 expression in the lesion of elderly ICH patients was significantly higher than that of young patients. The activation of astrocytes after ICH releases a large amount of IL31, which binds to microglia through IL31R, causing a large number of microglia to converge to the hematoma area, leading to the spread of neuroinflammation, apoptosis of neurons, and ultimately resulting in poorer recovery of nerve function. Interfering with IL31 expression suppresses neuroinflammation and promotes the recovery of neurological function. Our study demonstrated that elderly patients release more IL31 after ICH than young patients. IL31 promotes the progression of neuroinflammation, leading to neuronal apoptosis as well as neurological decline. Suppression of high IL31 concentrations in the brain after ICH may be a promising therapeutic strategy for ICH.

Published: February 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe poor overall prognosis of radioiodine refractory thyroid cancer is an inevitable challenge in managing this disease. A series of trials have demonstrated the antitumor activity of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in radioiodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR‐DTC). However, the available evidence cannot determine the optimal choice of TKI in RAIR‐DTC.MethodsThis study searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane databases, and the ClinicalTrials website. The Cochrane bias risk tool was used to assess the risk of bias, and to evaluate randomized clinical trials (RCT) of RAIR‐DTC patients treated with the TKI system. Outcomes, including progression‐free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs) were reported.ResultsSeven studies involving 1310 patients with RAIR‐DTC was conducted to compare the PFS and OS of various TKI monotherapies with placebo. The results showed that all TKI monotherapies had a statistically significant benefit in terms of PFS compared with placebo, with lenvatinib demonstrating the greatest benefit (hazard ratio [HR] 0.19, 95% credible interval [CrI] 0.14–0.25). In terms of OS, only apatinib (HR 0.42, 95% CrI 0.18–0.97) and anlotinib (HR 0.36, 95% CrI 0.18–0.73) showed statistically significant benefits compared with placebo. TKIs also had a higher incidence of AEs of grade 3 or higher compared with placebo. The findings suggest that lenvatinib may be the preferred TKI for the treatment of RAIR‐DTC, although its high incidence of AEs should be considered. The results also indicate that TKI treatment may be similarly effective in RAIR‐DTC patients with BRAF or RAS mutations and in those with papillary or follicular subtypes of the disease, regardless of prior TKI treatment.ConclusionsThe results of this meta‐analysis suggest that targeted therapy with TKIs may be beneficial for patients with radioiodine‐refractory advanced or metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer. Among the TKIs analyzed, lenvatinib appeared to be the most effective at improving PFS, although it also had the highest incidence of AEs. Further research through direct randomized controlled trials is needed to determine the optimal choice of TKI for treating patients with RAIR‐DTC. This study is beneficial for formulating patients' treatment plans and guides clinicians' decision‐making.
