AbstractBackgroundThe risk of heart failure (HF) in underweight diabetes mellitus (DM) patients has rarely been studied. We conducted a cohort study to investigate the association between underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2) and BMI change over time and the risk of HF in patients with type 2 DM.MethodsWe utilized the health screening data from the National Health Insurance Service and the Korean National Health Screening database from 2009 to 2012, with follow‐up until December 2018. Participants with DM were categorized into four groups based on their BMI at 4 years before study inclusion and BMI at the study entry: (1) Always Normal Weight (BMI at 4 years ago/BMI at study entry ≥18.5/≥18.5 kg/m2, reference group); (2) Transitioned to Underweight (≥18.5/<18.5 kg/m2); (3) Transitioned to Normal Weight (<18.5/≥18.5 kg/m2) and (4) Always Underweight (<18.5/<18.5 kg/m2). Participants were followed until the development of HF or at the end of the follow‐up. Initial screening data included participants with DM who had the health screening during the study period (n = 2,746,079). Participants aged <20 years (n = 390), those who did not undergo health examination 4 years prior (n = 1,306,520), and those with missing data (n = 77,410) were excluded. Participants diagnosed with HF before study participation (n = 81,645) and within 1 year of study enrolment (n = 11,731) were excluded. After applying exclusion criteria, 1,268,383 participants were finally included in the analysis. The primary outcome was the development of HF. We employed Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for various confounding factors, to assess the risk of developing HF.ResultsMedian follow‐up duration was 6.88 years and men were 63.16%. The mean ages of each groups were as follows: Always Normal Weight (57.92 ± 11.64 years), Transitioned to Underweight (62 ± 13.5 years), Transitioned to Normal Weight (56.6 ± 15.29 years) and Always Underweight (57.76 ± 15.35 years). In comparison with the Always Normal Weight group (n = 1,245,381, HF = 76,360), Transitioned to Underweight group (≥18.5/<18.5 kg/m2, n = 9304, HF = 880, adjusted Hazard Ratio (aHR)1.389, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3–1.485) or Transitioned to Normal Weight (<18.5/≥18.5 kg/m2, n = 6024, HF = 478, aHR 1.385, 95% CI 1.266–1.515) exhibited an increased risk of HF. The highest risk was observed in the Always Underweight group (<18.5/<18.5 kg/m2, n = 7674, HF = 665, aHR 1.612, 95% CI 1.493–1.740).ConclusionsUnderweight was significantly associated with the risk of HF in the DM population. Active surveillance for HF in an underweight DM population is needed.

AbstractThe jaw system in mammals is complex and different muscle morphotypes have been documented. Pigs are an interesting group of animals as they are omnivorous and have a bunodont crushing dentition. Moreover, they have interacted with humans for over 10,000 years and grow nearly two orders of magnitude in size. Despite being a model system for studies on cranial form and function, data on the growth of the jaw adductor muscles are scant. Moreover, whether captivity impacts the growth and architecture of the jaw adductors remains unknown. Based on dissection data of the jaw adductors of 45 animals ranging from less than 1 kg to almost 100 kg, we show that muscle masses, muscle fiber lengths, and cross‐sectional areas scale as predicted for geometrically similar systems or with slight negative allometry. Only the fiber length of the lateral pterygoid muscle grew with slight positive allometry. Animals raised in captivity in stalls or in an enclosure were overall very similar to wild animals. However, some muscles were larger in captive animals. Interestingly, variation in bite force in captive animals was well predicted by the variation in the size of the superficial masseter muscle relative to the overall jaw adductor mass.

BackgroundNon‐contrast‐enhanced 1H magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with full lung coverage shows promise for assessment of regional lung ventilation but a comparison with direct ventilation measurement using 19F MRI is lacking.PurposeTo compare ventilation parameters calculated using 3D phase‐resolved functional lung (PREFUL) MRI with 19F MRI.Study TypeProspective.PopulationFifteen patients with asthma, 14 patients with chronic obstructive lung disease, and 13 healthy volunteers.Field Strength/SequenceA 3D gradient‐echo pulse sequence with golden‐angle increment and stack‐of‐stars encoding at 1.5 T.AssessmentAll participants underwent 3D PREFUL MRI and 19F MRI. For 3D PREFUL, static regional ventilation (RVent) and dynamic flow‐volume cross‐correlation metric (FVL‐CM) were calculated. For both parameters, ventilation defect percentage (VDP) values and ventilation defect (VD) maps (including a combination of both parameters [VDPCombined]) were determined. For 19F MRI, images from eight consecutive breaths under volume‐controlled inhalation of perfluoropropane were acquired. Time‐to‐fill (TTF) and wash‐in (WI) parameters were extracted. For all 19F parameters, a VD map was generated and the corresponding VDP values were calculated.Statistical TestsFor all parameters, the relationship between the two techniques was assessed using a Spearman correlation (r). Differences between VDP values were compared using Bland–Altman analysis. For regional comparison of VD maps, spatial overlap and Sørensen–Dice coefficients were computed.Results3D PREFUL VDP values were significantly correlated to VDP measures by 19F (r range: 0.59–0.70). For VDPRVent, no significant bias was observed with VDP of the third and fourth breath (bias range = −6.8:7.7%, P range = 0.25:0.30). For VDPFVL‐CM, no significant bias was found with VDP values of fourth–eighth breaths (bias range = −2.0:12.5%, P range = 0.12:0.75). The overall spatial overlap of all VD maps increased with each breath, ranging from 61% to 81%, stabilizing at the fourth breath.Data Conclusion3D PREFUL MRI parameters showed moderate to strong correlation with 19F MRI. Depending on the 3D PREFUL VD map, the best regional agreement was found to 19F VD maps of third–fifth breath.Level of Evidence3Technical EfficacyStage 2

AbstractBackgroundThe Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) approach to malnutrition diagnosis is based on assessment of three phenotypic (weight loss, low body mass index, and reduced skeletal muscle mass) and two etiologic (reduced food intake/assimilation and disease burden/inflammation) criteria, with diagnosis confirmed by fulfillment of any combination of at least one phenotypic and at least one etiologic criterion. The original GLIM description provided limited guidance regarding assessment of inflammation, and this has been a factor impeding further implementation of the GLIM criteria. We now seek to provide practical guidance for assessment of inflammation.MethodsA GLIM‐constituted working group with 36 participants developed consensus‐based guidance through a modified Delphi review. A multiround review and revision process served to develop seven guidance statements.ResultsThe final round of review was highly favorable, with 99% overall “agree” or “strongly agree” responses. The presence of acute or chronic disease, infection, or injury that is usually associated with inflammatory activity may be used to fulfill the GLIM disease burden/inflammation criterion, without the need for laboratory confirmation. However, we recommend that recognition of underlying medical conditions commonly associated with inflammation be supported by C‐reactive protein (CRP) measurements when the contribution of inflammatory components is uncertain. Interpretation of CRP requires that consideration be given to the method, reference values, and units (milligrams per deciliter or milligram per liter) for the clinical laboratory that is being used.ConclusionConfirmation of inflammation should be guided by clinical judgment based on underlying diagnosis or condition, clinical signs, or CRP.

AbstractThere is a scarcity of nutritional screening tools for use in infants (<1 year). The infant Nutrition Early Warning Score (iNEWS) has been developed to identify infants who need further dietetic review. We introduced the iNEWS into clinical practice and evaluated its performance in Scotland, Belgium, Athens and Bulgaria. Of the 352 infants screened, 72 (20%) were placed in the high iNEWS category, and of these, 70 (97%) were reviewed by a hospital dietitian. iNEWS produced a true positive rate of 80% which increased to 96% after accounting for anticipated misclassified cases due to prematurity. In Belgium, false positive screens had a shorter length of stay (p = 0.014). Otherwise, misclassification was not related to a specific iNEWS component. This study corroborates previous research, underscoring the validity of iNEWS as a dietetic referral tool and demonstrating that it can be integrated into “real‐world” clinical practice across international settings with diverse healthcare resources.
Evaluation of foaming agents for high‐temperature, high‐pressure, and high‐salinity reservoirs based on a new foam evaluator

Published: January 2024

AbstractIn this study, a novel high‐temperature and high‐pressure foam evaluator with variable diameters inner cell and cylinder flip function was designed on our own, which can solve the problems such as difficulties in foam generation and inaccurate determination of various foam parameters by the same type of instruments, through which the foaming performance of more than 10 betaine surfactants was evaluated. The results show that: (1) the higher the pressure, the higher the foaming rate of the foaming agent and the more stable the foam, but the foam stability of the foamers at low and high pressures, and low and high temperatures do not correspond exactly, and the foaming agent used needs to be screened under simulated reservoir conditions. (2) The comprehensive foaming performance of different types of foamers with different molecular structures found that hydroxy sulfobetaine with longer carbon chains has a relatively better foaming performance. Therefore, for the reservoir conditions of temperature 130°C, pressure 30 MPa, and salinity 22 × 104 mg/L, hydroxy sulfobetaine, which does not contain an amide group in the molecule, can be considered preferentially as a foaming agent. The results can guide the selection of foaming agents for high‐temperature and high‐salinity reservoirs.
Exploring the on‐site experience of slow tourists from an embodied practice perspective

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe rise of slow tourism reflects tourists' high‐quality needs under the accelerated pace of contemporary life. However, the on‐site slow tourism experience remains underexplored despite its importance to both tourists and destinations. This study aims to explore how on‐site experiences are created and identifies the features of the on‐site experiences of slow tourism. From the perspective of embodied practice, the study finds that two patterns, slow‐moving‐and‐pausing in the context of the local landscape environment and consuming‐and‐engaging in the context of local life and culture, account for the slow‐tourist‐oriented individuals creating their autotelic tourism experiences. Intra‐personal and inter‐personal experiences are found in the two different patterns that indicate the existential experience is, in essence, the slow tourists' emotional quest. Further, this study argues that slow tourism can be seen as an extension or intensification of daily routine experience.
The moderating effect of safety image on Guests' perceived risk and revisit intentions in luxury hotels
Authors: Pai Chen Kuo , Chen Haoran , Wang Yang 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis study explores the relationship between perceived risk and intention to revisit, based on four core dimensions of the subjectively perceived risk of luxury hotel guests to hotel safety image. In particular, this study innovatively uses the four dimensions of hotel safety image as moderating variables to explore how the relationship between perceived risk and intention to revisit is affected. The results from the 573 valid questionnaires show that perceived risk has significant negative effects on revisit intention, hygiene control significantly and negatively moderates the negative relationship between perceived risk and revisit intention, and self‐service technology significantly and positively moderates the negative relationship between perceived risk and revisit intention. These results complement the application of customer perceived risk and hotel safety image in luxury hotels in the context of natural disasters and provide hotel managers with new perspectives on marketing and decision making and how to improve competitiveness.

Published: January 2024

ObjectivesChildren with cleft palates often have comorbid eustachian tube dysfunction requiring pressure equalization tubes (PETs). PETs can relieve middle ear effusions that impede hearing. Ideal PET placement timing in this population is controversial. In this study, the audiologic exam passing rates of patients with cleft palate prior to and following PET insertion were assessed. Rates for patients receiving PETs at different ages were compared. It was hypothesized that earlier PET placement may benefit patients with additional months of improved hearing.MethodsA retrospective chart review was performed of patients with cleft palate between November 22, 2016 and November 22, 2021 at a tertiary center. Statistical analysis compared passing/normal audiologic exams in patients receiving PETs at different ages.ResultsA total of 348 patients had cleft palate diagnoses, received PETs, and had adequate hearing data for inclusion. Those with PETs inserted at 3 months of age or less had an increase in percent of patients passing audiologic exams following versus prior to PET insertion of 13% (1.3 times improvement). Those receiving PETs between 7‐ and 12‐months had the largest rate of improvement (42%) (2.4 times improvement); other groups had changes in passing rates between 31% and 40%. The rate of passing audiologic exams following PET insertion was high across all groups, ranging from 66% to 81%.ConclusionThis is one of the first studies exploring the timing of PET placement in this population and showed that patients receiving PETs at 3 months of age or younger passed subsequent audiologic exams at similar rates relative to those receiving PETs later in life.Level of Evidence3 Laryngoscope, 134:3391–3394, 2024

AbstractHealthy soil is essential for maintaining food security and enhancing ecosystem functions. Green manure application improves soil fertility and is an alternative to chemical fertilizers; however, research on optimizing soil health assessment systems and providing comprehensive and accurate information for local farmland green manure management models remains limited. In this study, we used maize and potato intercropped with green manure farmland in the main crop production area of a semi‐arid irrigation area in Northwest China as the research object, integrated the regional soil environment characteristics, and used principal component analysis and other methods to establish a minimum index data set including physicochemical, biological, and yield indices. A soil health assessment system applicable to the study region was constructed and optimized by drawing the scoring curve. The results showed that green manure treatment exerted a positive effect on the soil bulk density, nutrient content, extracellular enzyme activity, and the yield of maize and potato fields. This evaluation method showed that both green manure treatments could improve the soil health index of two major crop fields, with scores of 6.9 (3.7–8.6) and 6.2 (4.5–7.0) for maize and potato farmland, respectively, with a greater positive effect caused on maize. This evaluation system can not only reflect the soil conditions of farmland accurately given the application of green manure in the semi‐arid irrigation areas of northwest China but also provide reference for the promotion of organic fertilizers such as green manure and the resolution of regional soil health differences.

AbstractRapid humidity response contributes tremendously to visually flexible wearables. However, sluggish response, infrequent reproducibility, and biotoxicity restrict the development of wearable humidity response devices. Here, inspired by the changes in the color of Dynastes hercules, a flexible wearable, rapid response, stretchable, rewritable meta‐silk fibroin diffractive film (mSFD) is presented. The film is generated by spin‐coating silk protein and polyurethane (PU) cross‐linking, followed by hot pressing of meta‐structures. Owing to the diffraction and stable combination of the SF β‐structure and PU hydrogen bond, mSFDs exhibit excellent coloration, rapid response, and erasability. Notably, the microcolumns and microporous structures on the meta‐membrane endow the membrane with unparalleled rapid response features. Fast color disappearance and reappearance are observed under high humidity conditions (response time <2 ms, cycle in 1 s). In particular, the rapid humidity responsiveness of mSFP induces a change in the color of the membrane, which enables its application in real‐time biomonitoring (wound management, mask regulation) and anticounterfeiting (medicine storage, fingerprint recognition). These properties endow bioinspired mSFD P with high potential in the field of robotic skin.
Enhanced Water Flux of Aromatic Polyamide Membranes by Grafting Imidazolium‐Type Ionic Liquids Containing Silsesquioxane Frameworks

Published: January 2024

AbstractAn imidazolium‐type room‐temperature ionic liquid containing silsesquioxane frameworks is successfully prepared. The polar ionic liquid products are grafted onto the surface of prepared aromatic polyamide (PA) membranes to improve water flux of PA membranes. Membranes grafted with an ionic liquid exhibit a water flux of 1.89 L m−2 h−1 bar−1), 48% higher than that of pure PA membranes while the salt rejection still remains at 96%. This improvement can be attributed to the enhanced hydrophilicity of the membrane surface, as evidenced by the reduced water contact angle.
Counterfeits can benefit original products when people are caught using counterfeits

Published: January 2024

AbstractExisting literature has examined the influence of a counterfeit on the original brand in the prior or middle purchase phases. Our work aims to expand the literature by analyzing the post‐purchase phase of counterfeit consumption. In four studies, we examine the effects of product message appeal (symbolic vs. utilitarian) and self‐construal (interdependent vs. independent) on preference changes and purchase intentions of consumers toward original products when they are caught using counterfeits. Individuals with interdependent (vs. independent) self‐construal are more likely to increase their preference and purchase intention for original products after being caught using symbolic rather than utilitarian counterfeits. Moreover, face restoration mediates the interaction effect between product message appeal and self‐construal on the purchase intent of consumers in procuring original products. The patterns are consistent in both hypothetical scenarios and counterfeit consumption experience. Our work suggests that companies or brand, whose products are often copied or imitated should pay more attention to establishing their unique characteristics and the primary value of their product delivered to the consumers through product design and marketing mix strategies.
