Efficacy of topical low-dose atropine eye drops (0.01%) in slowing myopia progression in school-age children
Authors: Bansal Yashi , Grover Renu , Chakraborty Rakesh 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Purpose:
To study the effect of low-dose topical atropine eye drops (0.01%) in slowing myopia progression in school-age children.

Methods:
This was a prospective randomized controlled study, in children in the age group of 5–15 years, with myopic refractive error (spherical equivalent) between −1.0D and −5.0D at the time of presentation. A total of 100 patients were studied and randomly divided into two groups of 50 each: the control group and the atropine group. They were followed up 3 monthly for cycloplegic refraction, axial length (AL), pupil size, accommodation, and binocular stereopsis for near for a time period of 2 years.

Results:
Over a period of 2 years, there was a statistically significant decrease in the progression of myopic spherical equivalent and the AL in the atropine group. The accommodation and binocular stereopsis were comparable in both the groups. There was an average 0.7 mm increase in pupillary size posttreatment in the atropine group.

Conclusions:
The results of our study indicated that topical atropine (0.01%) is effective in retarding myopia progression at the end of 2 years of treatment. No child experienced allergic reaction, difficulty in reading, or photophobia during the trial period. Thus, atropine eye drops (0.01%) can be considered safe and efficacious in reducing the progression of myopia.

ABSTRACT

Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of child-friendly dentist attire and camouflage syringes on reducing dental anxiety in children.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 120 pediatric patients aged 6 to 12 years. Participants were assigned to one of three groups: group A (child-friendly dentist attire), group B (camouflage syringe), or group C (control group). Child preference for dentist attire was assessed using a visual analog scale, while dental anxiety was measured using the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale and the Facial Image Scale.

Results:
The results showed a significant decrease in dental anxiety scores in both group 2 and group 3 compared to group 1 (P < 0.001). Children in group A exhibited a higher preference for child-friendly dentist attire [mean score: 8.7, standard deviation (SD): 1.2] compared to group 1 (mean score: 3.2, SD: 1.5) (P < 0.001). Similarly, children in group 2 showed a higher preference for a camouflage syringe (mean score: 8.5, SD: 1.3) compared to group 1 (mean score: 3.4, SD: 1.6) (P < 0.001)

Conclusion:
Child-friendly dentist attire and camouflage syringes were found to be effective in reducing dental anxiety among pediatric patients. These interventions were well received by children and their parents, highlighting the importance of considering child preferences in dental settings.
Comparison of diagnostic accuracy of conventional method and Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology in the diagnosis of various lesions of the thyroid: Experience from a tertiary care center of northeastern India
Authors: Rahman Mustafizur , Bhuyan Geet , Duarah Bobby , Saikia Projnan 
Published: January 2024

Background:
Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a valuable, minimally invasive diagnostic tool for discerning benign and malignant thyroid lesions. In the realm of thyroid cytopathology, both the traditional approach and the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) are widely utilized for diagnosing and categorizing these lesions.

Aims and Objectives:
This study aims to classify thyroid cytology smears using both the conventional method and the Bethesda system and to compare their findings with histopathological diagnoses.

Method and Materials:
A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted over one year, spanning from February 1, 2022, to January 31, 2023. We included 191 cases of FNAC thyroid lesions and categorized them following the guidelines of both the conventional system and the Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and diagnostic accuracy for both systems were calculated, with histopathology serving as the gold standard for comparison. Furthermore, we calculated the Risk of Malignancy (ROM) for each category within the Bethesda system.

Results:
The Bethesda system exhibited a notably high sensitivity of 83.33%, surpassing the conventional method's sensitivity of 50%, while both systems shared the same specificity of 90%. The diagnostic accuracy of the Bethesda system, at 89.13%, outperformed that of the conventional method, which stood at 84.78%.

Conclusion:
This study demonstrates a strong positive correlation with histopathology, indicating high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy when employing TBSRTC, in contrast to the conventional method.

A uniform model for Kirillov―Reshetikhin crystals
Authors: Lenart Cristian , Naito Satoshi , Sagaki Daisuke , Schilling Anne , Shimozono Mark 
Published: January 2024

We present a uniform construction of tensor products of one-column Kirillov–Reshetikhin (KR) crystals in all untwisted affine types, which uses a generalization of the Lakshmibai–Seshadri paths (in the theory of the Littelmann path model). This generalization is based on the graph on parabolic cosets of a Weyl group known as the parabolic quantum Bruhat graph. A related model is the so-called quantum alcove model. The proof is based on two lifts of the parabolic quantum Bruhat graph: to the Bruhat order on the affine Weyl group and to Littelmann's poset on level-zero weights. Our construction leads to a simple calculation of the energy function. It also implies the equality between a Macdonald polynomial specialized at $t=0$ and the graded character of a tensor product of KR modules.
Nous présentons une construction uniforme pour les produits tensoriels des cristaux de Kirillov–Reshetikhin de type colonne, pour tous les types affines symétriques, qui utilise une généralisation des chemins de Lakshmibai–Seshadri (dans la théorie des chemins de Littelmann). Cette généralisation est basée sur un graphe sur les classes paraboliques d’un groupe de Weyl appelé le graphe de Bruhat parabolique quantique. Un modèle lié est le modèle des alcôves quantiques. La preuve est basée sur deux relèvements du graphe de Bruhat parabolique quantique : dansl’ordre de Bruhat affine et dans un ensemble ordonné des poids de niveau zéro. Notre construction donne une formule simple pour la fonction d’énergie. Elle donne aussi l’égalité d’un polynôme de Macdonald spécialisé à $t=0$ avec le caractère gradué d’un produit tensoriel des modules de Kirillov–Reshetikhin.
Euler flag enumeration of Whitney stratified spaces
Authors: Ehrenborg Richard , Goresky Mark , Readdy Margaret 
Published: January 2024

We show the $\mathrm{cd}$-index exists for Whitney stratified manifolds by extending the notion of a graded poset to that of a quasi-graded poset. This is a poset endowed with an order-preserving rank function and a weighted zeta function. This allows us to generalize the classical notion of Eulerianness, and obtain a $\mathrm{cd}$-index in the quasi-graded poset arena. We also extend the semi-suspension operation to that of embedding a complex in the boundary of a higher dimensional ball and study the shelling components of the simplex.
Nous montrons le $\mathrm{cd}$-index existe pour les manifolds de Whitney stratifiées en élargissant la notion d’un poset gradué à celle qu'un poset quasi-gradué. C’est un poset doté d'une fonction de rang que préservant l’ordre du poset et une fonction de zêta pondérée. Ceci nous permet de généraliser la notion classique de “Eulerianness”, et obtenir un $\mathrm{cd}$-index dans l’arène des posets quasi-gradués. Nous tenons également à l’opération de semi-suspension pour que d’intégrer une complexe dans la frontière d’une balle de dimension supérieur et étudions les composants shelling d’un simplex.
On r-stacked triangulated manifolds
Authors: Murai Satoshi , Nevo Eran 
Published: January 2024

The notion of $r$-stackedness for simplicial polytopes was introduced by McMullen and Walkup in 1971 as a generalization of stacked polytopes. In this paper, we define the $r$-stackedness for triangulated homology manifolds and study their basic properties. In addition, we find a new necessary condition for face vectors of triangulated manifolds when all the vertex links are polytopal.
Généralisant les polytopes simpliciaux empilés, McMullen et Walkup ont introduit en 1971 la notion de $r$-empilement pour les polytopes simpliciaux. Dans cet article, nous définissons la notion de $r$-empilement pour les variétés homologiques simpliciales et étudions ses propriétés élémentaires. En outre, nous donnons une nouvelle condition pour les $f$-vecteurs des variétés simpliciales lorsque tous les sommets ont un lien polytopal.
Structure and enumeration of $(3+1)$-free posets (extended abstract)
Authors: Guay-Paquet Mathieu , Morales Alejandro H. , Rowland Eric 
Published: January 2024

A poset is $(3+1)$-free if it does not contain the disjoint union of chains of length 3 and 1 as an induced subposet. These posets are the subject of the $(3+1)$-free conjecture of Stanley and Stembridge. Recently, Lewis and Zhang have enumerated $\textit{graded}$ $(3+1)$-free posets, but until now the general enumeration problem has remained open. We enumerate all $(3+1)$-free posets by giving a decomposition into bipartite graphs, and obtain generating functions for $(3+1)$-free posets with labelled or unlabelled vertices.
Un poset sans $(3 + 1)$ est un poset qui n’a pas de sous-poset induit formé de deux chaînes disjointes de longueur 3 et 1. Ces posets sont l’objet de la conjecture $(3+1)$ de Stanley et Stembridge. Récemment, Lewis et Zhang ont énuméré les posets $\textit{étagés}$ sans $(3 + 1)$, mais en général la question d’énumération est restée ouverte jusqu'à maintenant. Nous énumérons tous les posets sans $(3 + 1)$ en donnant une décomposition de ces posets en graphes bipartis, et obtenons des fonctions génératrices qui les énumèrent, qu’ils soient étiquetés ou non.
The explicit molecular expansion of the combinatorial logarithm
Authors: Labelle Gilbert 
Published: January 2024

Just as the power series of $\log (1+X)$ is the analytical substitutional inverse of the series of $\exp (X)-1$, the (virtual) combinatorial species, $\mathrm{Lg} (1+X)$, is the combinatorial substitutional inverse of the combinatorial species, $E(X)-1$, of non-empty finite sets. This $\textit{combinatorial logarithm}$, $\mathrm{Lg} (1+X)$, has been introduced by A. Joyal in 1986 by making use of an iterative scheme. Given a species $F(X)$ (with $F(0)=1$), one of its main applications is to express the species, $F^{\mathrm{c}}(X)$, of $\textit{connected}$ $F$-structures through the formula $F{\mathrm{c}} = \mathrm{Lg} (F) = \mathrm{Lg} (1+F_+)$ where $F_+$ denotes the species of non-empty $F$-structures. Since its creation, equivalent descriptions of the combinatorial logarithm have been given by other combinatorialists (G. L., I. Gessel, J. Li), but its exact decomposition into irreducible components (molecular expansion) remained unclear. The main goal of the present work is to fill this gap by computing explicitly the molecular expansion of the combinatorial logarithm and of $-\mathrm{Lg}(1-X)$, a "cousin'' of the tensorial species, $\mathrm{Lie}(X)$, of free Lie algebras.
Tout comme la série de puissances de $\log (1+X)$ est l’inverse substitutionnel analytique de la série de $\exp (X)-1$ l’espèce de structures (virtuelle) $\mathrm{Lg} (1+X)$, est l’inverse substitutionnel combinatoire de l’espèce, $E(X)-1$, des ensembles finis non vides. Ce $\textit{logarithme combinatoire}$, $\mathrm{Lg} (1+X)$ , a été introduit par A. Joyal en 1986 en faisant appel à un schéma itératif. Étant donnée une espèce $F(X)$ (telle que $F(0)=1$), l’une de ses principales applications est d’exprimer l’espèce, $F^{\mathrm{c}}(X)$, des $F$-structures $\textit{connexes}$ par la formule $F{\mathrm{c}} = \mathrm{Lg} (F) = \mathrm{Lg} (1+F_+)$ où $F_+$ désigne l’espèce des $F$-structures non vides. Depuis sa création, des descriptions équivalentes du logarithme combinatoire ont été formulés par d’autres combinatoriciens (G. L., I, Gessel, J. Li), mais sa décomposition exacte en composantes irréductibles (développement moléculaire) est demeurée obscure. Le but principal du présent travail est de combler cette lacune en calculant explicitement le développement moléculaire du logarithme combinatoire et de $-\mathrm{Lg}(1-X)$ un “cousin” de l’espèce tensorielle, $\mathrm{Lie}(X)$, des algèbres de Lie libres.
Renormalization group-like proof of the universality of the Tutte polynomial for matroids
Authors: Duchamp G. , Hoang-Nghia N. , Krajewski Thomas , Tanasa A. 
Published: January 2024

In this paper we give a new proof of the universality of the Tutte polynomial for matroids. This proof uses appropriate characters of Hopf algebra of matroids, algebra introduced by Schmitt (1994). We show that these Hopf algebra characters are solutions of some differential equations which are of the same type as the differential equations used to describe the renormalization group flow in quantum field theory. This approach allows us to also prove, in a different way, a matroid Tutte polynomial convolution formula published by Kook, Reiner and Stanton (1999). This FPSAC contribution is an extended abstract.
Dans cet article, nous donnons une nouvelle preuve de l’universalité du polynôme de Tutte pour les matroïdes. Cette preuve utilise des caractères appropriés de l’algèbre de Hopf des matroïdes introduite par Schmitt (1994). Nous montrons que ces caractères algèbre de Hopf sont des solutions d'équations différentielles du même type que les équations différentielles utilisées pour décrire le flux du groupe de renormalisation en théorie quantique de champs. Cette approche nous permet aussi de démontrer, d’une manière différente, une formule de convolution du polynôme de Tutte des matroïdes, formule publiée par Kook, Reiner et Stanton (1999). Cette contribution FPSAC est un résumé étendu.
On some generalized $q$-Eulerian polynomials
Authors: Lin Zhicong 
Published: January 2024

The $(q,r)$-Eulerian polynomials are the $(\mathrm{maj-exc, fix, exc})$ enumerative polynomials of permutations. Using Shareshian and Wachs' exponential generating function of these Eulerian polynomials, Chung and Graham proved two symmetrical $q$-Eulerian identities and asked for bijective proofs. We provide such proofs using Foata and Han's three-variable statistic $(\mathrm{inv-lec, pix, lec})$. We also prove a new recurrence formula for the $(q,r)$-Eulerian polynomials and study a $q$-analogue of Chung and Graham's restricted Eulerian polynomials. In particular, we obtain a symmetrical identity for these restricted $q$-Eulerian polynomials with a combinatorial proof.
Les $(q; r)$-polynômes Eulériens sont les polynômes énumératifs des permutations par rapport au poids $(\mathrm{maj-exc, fix, exc})$. En utilisant la fonction génératrice de ces polynômes Eulériens due à Shareshien et Wachs, Chung et Graham ont démontré deux identités symétriques $q$-Eulériennes et demandé des preuves bijectives. Nous donnons de telles preuves en utilisant les statistiques trivariées $(\mathrm{inv-lec, pix, lec})$ de Foata et Han. Nous démontrons aussi une nouvelle récurrence pour ces $(q; r)$-polynômes Eulériens et étudions un $q$-analogue des polynômes Eulériens restreints de Chung et Graham. En particulier, nous obtenons une identité symétrique pour ces $q$-polynômes Eulériens restreints avec une preuve combinatoire.

Published: January 2024

The $d$-dimensional simplicial, terminal, and reflexive polytopes with at least $3d-2$ vertices are classified. In particular, it turns out that all of them are smooth Fano polytopes. This improves previous results of Casagrande (2006) and Øbro (2008). Smooth Fano polytopes play a role in algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. This text is an extended abstract of Assarf et al. (2012).

Understanding the implications of follicular output rate (FORT) and follicle to oocyte index (FOI) on human embryo morphokinetics
Authors: Braga Daniela , Setti Amanda , Morishima Christina , Iaconelli Assumpto , Borges Edson 
Published: January 2024

Objective To study if there are any effects of follicular output rate (FORT) and follicle to oocyte index (FOI) on embryos morphokinetics. Study design Kinetic data of 8,376 embryos, cultured in a time-lapse imaging incubator, derived from 2,470 patients undergoing ICSI cycles were analysed. Embryos were split into groups according to FOI value: Low FOI (n=247 cycles and 894 embryos) and High FOI (n=2,223 cycles and 7,482 embryos) and according to the FORT value: Low FORT (n= 753 cycle and 2,556 embryos), Medium FORT (n=874 cycles and 2,970 embryos), and High FORT (n=843 cycles and 2,850 embryos). Morphokinetic data were compared among the groups. Results Embryos derived from cycles with a low FOI presented slower development, a significantly lower KID score D5, blastocyst formation, and implantation rates when compared with those from cycles with high FOI. For the FORT, an increased time to complete morphokinetic events, significantly lower rates of blastocyst formation and implantation was observed among embryos derived from cycles with low FORT, followed by those with medium FORT, while embryos derived from cycles with high FORT presented a better development competence. However, no significant differences were noted in clinical pregnancy, miscarriage, or livebirth rates when the low, medium, and high FORT groups were compared. Conclusion FORT and FOI correlate with faster embryo development and may be a valuable approach to predict embryo developmental potential.
