Background
Antibiotic use during early infancy has been linked to childhood obesity in high-income countries. We evaluated whether a single oral dose of azithromycin administered during infant-well visits led to changes in infant growth outcomes at 6 months of age in a setting with a high prevalence of undernutrition in rural Burkina Faso.

Methods and findings
Infants were enrolled from September 25, 2019, until October 22, 2022, in a randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of a single oral dose of azithromycin (20 mg/kg) compared to placebo when administered during well-child visits for prevention of infant mortality. The trial found no evidence of a difference in the primary endpoint. This paper presents prespecified secondary anthropometric endpoints including weight gain (g/day), height change (mm/day), weight-for-age Z-score (WAZ), weight-for-length Z-score (WLZ), length-for-age Z-score (LAZ), and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC). Infants were eligible for the trial if they were between 5 and 12 weeks of age, able to orally feed, and their families were planning to remain in the study area for the duration of the study. Anthropometric measurements were collected at enrollment (5 to 12 weeks of age) and 6 months of age. Among 32,877 infants enrolled in the trial, 27,298 (83%) were followed and had valid anthropometric measurements at 6 months of age. We found no evidence of a difference in weight gain (mean difference 0.03 g/day, 95% confidence interval (CI) −0.12 to 0.18), height change (mean difference 0.004 mm/day, 95% CI −0.05 to 0.06), WAZ (mean difference −0.004 SD, 95% CI −0.03 to 0.02), WLZ (mean difference 0.001 SD, 95% CI −0.03 to 0.03), LAZ (mean difference −0.005 SD, 95% CI −0.03 to 0.02), or MUAC (mean difference 0.01 cm, 95% CI −0.01 to 0.04). The primary limitation of the trial was that measurements were only collected at enrollment and 6 months of age, precluding assessment of shorter-term or long-term changes in growth.

Conclusions
Single-dose azithromycin does not appear to affect weight and height outcomes when administered during early infancy.

Background
For those living with HIV/AIDS, malnutrition is a significant issue everywhere, but it is particularly prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa. A nutritional support program is becoming a more and more common strategy to prevent malnutrition in HIV-positive persons. Thus, this study aimed to assess nutritional treatment outcomes and their predictors among adult HIV-positive undernourished individuals in West Guji Zone healthcare facilities.

Method
A facility-based retrospective cohort study was conducted among 348 randomly selected adult HIV- positive patients in the West Guji Zone healthcare facilities between January 2018 and December 2022. Data were collected using the data extraction tool. Entered into Epi Data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 26 for analysis. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve and log-rank test were used to predict the time to recovery and to compare survival curves across categorical variables. A Cox proportional hazard regression model was fitted to identify an independent predictor of the recovery rate. Statistical significance was declared at a p-value of < 0.05.

Results
In the final analysis 348 undernourished HIV-positive persons were included. Based on preset exit criteria, approximately 198, 56.9% of patients enrolled in the RUTF program were able to recovered, with an incidence of 9.83 (95% CI: 3.12, 13.44) per 100 person-month observations. Being divorced (AHR = 0.21; 95% CI: 0.06, 0.69) and being in the WHO advanced stage (AHR = 0.42; 95% CI: 0.23, 0.79) was a negative predictor. Being in the age range of 18–29 and 30–39 and having a working functional status (AHR = 2; 95% CI: 1.25, 3.23) were positive predictors.

Conclusion
Nutritional recovery in this study lower than WHO Sphere requirements. Age between 18 and 39 and working functional status were good indicators of nutritional recovery, whereas advanced WHO clinical stage and divorced marital status were negative predictors.

A Raiva sob o olhar da Análise Bioenergética
Authors: Oliveira Gislene Farias de 
Published: January 2024

As emoções estão presentes em todas as pessoas, a exemplo da raiva que faz parte de nossas defesas. Surge por exemplo, quando precisamos exigir com mais veemência, que se minimizem as coisas que nos desagradam. Trata-se de um mecanismo adaptativo importante, para que possamos lidar com nossas rotinas do cotidiano. Porém, nem sempre sabemos como lidar com tal emoção, pois a raiva é um pouco estigmatizada socialmente. Isso torna mais difícil o controle do nosso comportamento, diante de certos acontecimentos percebidos como reprováveis. Para isso, torna-se fundamental aprender sobre como lidar com a raiva e com outras emoções que podem nos ameaçar. Saber utilizá-las, é muito proveitoso para que não prejudiquem nossa qualidade de vida, nem os nossos relacionamentos. A Análise Bioenergética nos possibilita os recursos para um aprendizado que nos mantenha no comando de nossas atitudes, de maneira consciente, podendo mais livremente expressar nossos protestos e a nossa raiva, quando necessária, como afirmação de nós mesmos.
A superficial dissection approach to the sphenopalatine (pterygopalatine) ganglion to emphasize osteopathic clinical relevance
Authors: Matz Olivia C. , Rudberg-Post Laura J. , Gustafson Hannah C. , Matz Donald G. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The sphenopalatine (pterygopalatine) ganglion (SPG) is the most superficial ganglia to manipulate from the oral cavity. It has parasympathetic and sensory fibers directly affecting the paranasal sinuses as well as the palatine, nasal, pharyngeal, and lacrimal glands. The SPG can be manipulated intraorally by students and physicians utilizing osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to relieve congestion associated with sinusitis, allergies, headaches, and upper respiratory infections. Within osteopathic medical education programs, students have anecdotally had difficulty identifying this ganglion due to its deep anatomic location and lack of direct visualization. In this article, we discuss that cadaveric dissection with a superficial to deep approach to the SPG has the ability to allow medical students and physicians to better understand the three-dimensional location and osteopathic clinical relevance of this ganglion.
Introduction: the multimodality of cringe comedy in screen and digital media productions
Authors: Elyamany Nashwa , Elshazly Deena Shazly 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The millennial moment reflects an occupation with truth aiming for clear interpretations of the surrounding reality. Owing to the political conditions at the turn of the twenty-first century, both media and literary forms showed considerable interest in documentation. As inspections of truth yield no precise results, documentation shape-shifted into self-reflective presentations of social and personal failings. According to Patrick (Wöhrle, Patrick. 2021. Two shades of cringe: Problems in attributing painful laughter. Humanities 10(3). 99. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/h10030099.), media has developed patterns of presentations that irritate rather than settle the viewers’ down thus destabilizing the conventional sender–message–recipient format. Interestingly, literary treatments have shown similar tendencies towards more integration of the spectator. Engagement with social or political conditions stems originally from a gap between what we know and what we see which engenders humour at many occasions based on superiority or incongruity. In post-millennial times especially with the Covid-19 outbreak, feeling strange, awkward or embarrassed are feelings of the mundane. Here, cringe comedy is a forerunner. Cringe humour holds deep sense of incongruity once attending to the ambivalence the term carries. Humour, which is supposedly a tool of both pleasure and relief, becomes rather a trigger of some painful visceral affect that ‘cringes’.
Pull-out strength of screws in long bones at different insertion angles: finite element analysis and experimental investigations

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Different types of plates are available to allow insertion of screws for internal fixation of long bone fractures. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the insertion of screws at different angles on a long bone to the pull-out strength. Using 3D printed bone models, we tested the pull-out strength of screws in long bones at insertion angles between 0 and 40° with both finite element analysis and on printed models experimentally and compared the results. Test samples and cortical screws used were modeled with SolidWorks software and analyzed with Ansys software. As the screw insertion angle increases, the pull-out forces on the test specimens increase from 61.14 ± 3.5 N at 0° to 273 ± 6.8 N at 40° with an exception of a small drop between 15 and 20° from 235.4 ± 6.2 to 233 ± 6.9 N. Both methods showed an increase in the pull-out strength of screws as the insertion angle increases. This might be applicable in the clinical practice of bone fixation. Further studies on plate and screw fixation are needed to complement the findings.

Abstract
In this work we theoretically investigate the possibility of observing strong coupling at mid-infrared frequencies within the group-IV semiconductor material platform. Our results show that the strong coupling condition is attainable in Ge/SiGe quantum wells integrated in hybrid metal-semiconductor microcavities, featuring a highly n-doped SiGe layer as one of the mirrors.

Authors: Shestakov Mikhail V. , Moshchalkov Victor V. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Silver and lanthanide (Tm3+, Yb3+) doped oxyfluoride glasses have been prepared by melt-quenching method. The absorption of the glasses was measured in the range from 350 to 550 nm revealing the absorption edges of Ag nanoclusters and Tm3+ transition. The photoluminescence spectra of the glasses were detected in the range from 400 to 1100 nm under excitation in the range from 300 to 500 nm. The photoluminescence excitation spectra showed that Ag nanoclusters and Tm3+ ions can effectively harvest energy in UV-range and convert to visible and infrared (through emission by Yb3+ ions) ranges making the glasses perspective as white light emitters and solar spectrum downconverters.

Abstract
McAuley, ABT, Hughes, DC, Tsaprouni, LG, Varley, I, Suraci, B, Bradley, B, Baker, J, Herbert, AJ, and Kelly, AL. Genetic associations with acceleration, change of direction, jump height, and speed in English academy football players. J Strength Cond Res 38(2): 350–359, 2024—High-intensity movements and explosive actions are commonly assessed during athlete development in football (soccer). Although many environmental factors underpin these power-orientated traits, research suggests that there is also a sizeable genetic component. Therefore, this study examined the association of 22 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with acceleration, change of direction, jump height, and speed in academy football players. One hundred and forty-nine, male, under-12 to under-23 football players from 4 English academies were examined. Subjects performed 5-, 10-, 20-, and 30-m sprints, countermovement jumps (CMJs), and the 5-0-5 agility test. Simple linear regression was used to analyze individual SNP associations, whereas both unweighted and weighted total genotype scores (TGS; TWGS) were computed to measure the combined influence of all SNPs. To control for multiple testing, a Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate of 0.05 was applied to all genotype model comparisons. In isolation, the GALNT13 (rs10196189) G allele and IL6 (rs1800795) G/G genotype were associated with faster (∼4%) 5-, 10-, and 20-m sprints and higher (∼16%) CMJs, respectively (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the TGS and TWGS significantly correlated with all performance assessments, explaining between 6 and 33% of the variance (p < 0.001). This study demonstrates that some genetic variants are associated with power-orientated phenotypes in youth football players and may add value toward a future polygenic profile of physical performance.
On the Outflow Boundary Opening Size for Internal Erosion Testing of Widely Graded Sand and Gravel
Authors: Vinoth Ganapathiraman , Fannin R. Jonathan 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Permeameter testing of a widely graded soil to evaluate its potential for internal instability requires the opening size of the outflow boundary to allow unstable finer fraction particles to pass while retaining the stable coarser fraction. Results from a parametric study, on three widely graded soils and five outflow boundaries, yielded paired-data for opening size Om and d85,e of eroded soil mass passing through the outflow boundary. Gradation shape analysis established d85′ of the finer fraction of each soil used in testing. An opening size ratio 5 ≤ Om/d85′ ≤ 10 correlates with a grain size ratio 1 ≤ d85,e/d85′ ≤ 2 and thus an eroded soil mass believed representative of the finer fraction of the widely graded soil. The novel Om/d85′ criterion for sizing the outflow boundary in permeameter testing is found consistent with an alternate criterion using concepts of base-filter incompatibility.
Plasticity in the functional properties of NMDA receptors improves network stability during severe energy stress
Authors: Bueschke Nikolaus , Amaral-Silva Lara , Hu Min , Alvarez Alvaro , Santin Joseph M. 
Published: January 2024

Brain energy stress leads to neuronal hyperexcitability followed by a rapid loss of function and cell death. In contrast, the frog brainstem switches into a state of extreme metabolic resilience that allows them to maintain motor function during hypoxia as they emerge from hibernation. NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are Ca2+-permeable glutamate receptors that contribute to the loss of homeostasis during hypoxia. Therefore, we hypothesized that hibernation leads to plasticity that reduces the role of NMDARs within neural networks to improve function during energy stress. To test this, we assessed a circuit with a large involvement of NMDAR synapses, the brainstem respiratory network of female bullfrogs,Lithobates catesbeianus. Contrary to our expectations, hibernation did not alter the role of NMDARs in generating network output, nor did it affect the amplitude, kinetics, and hypoxia sensitivity of NMDAR currents. Instead, hibernation strongly reduced NMDAR Ca2+permeability and enhanced desensitization during repetitive stimulation. Under severe hypoxia, the normal NMDAR profile caused network hyperexcitability within minutes, which was mitigated by blocking NMDARs. After hibernation, the modified complement of NMDARs protected against hyperexcitability, as disordered output did not occur for at least one hour in hypoxia. These findings uncover state-dependence in the plasticity of NMDARs, whereby multiple changes to receptor function improve neural performance during energy stress without interfering with its normal role during healthy activity.Significance StatementNMDA-glutamate receptors play a major role in the loss of brain homeostasis during energy stress. In contrast, frogs have the remarkable capacity to use plasticity that improves brainstem circuit function from minutes to hours during hypoxia, likely as an adaptation to survive emergence from hibernation. We found this occurs, in part, through modification of NMDA receptors that renders them less permeable to Ca2+and more likely to desensitize during high activity states. These NMDA receptor modifications do not influence normal network function but protect against hyperexcitability caused by hypoxia. This work points to endogenous plasticity mechanisms that improve network function during energy stress without altering circuit function when the brain is well-oxygenated.
Deviance detection to natural stimuli in population responses of the brainstem of bats
Authors: Wetekam Johannes , Hechavarría Julio , López-Jury Luciana , González-Palomares Eugenia , Kössl Manfred 
Published: January 2024

Deviance detection describes an increase of neural response strength caused by a stimulus with a low probability of occurrence. This ubiquitous phenomenon has been reported for humans and multiple other species, from subthalamic areas to the auditory cortex. Cortical deviance detection has been well characterised by a range of studies using a variety of different stimuli, from artificial to natural, with and without a behavioural relevance. This allowed the identification of a broad variety of regularity deviations that are detected by the cortex. Moreover, subcortical deviance detection has been studied with simple stimuli that are not meaningful to the subject. Here, we aim to bridge this gap by using noninvasively recorded auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) to investigate deviance detection at population level in the lower stations of the auditory system of a highly vocal species: the batCarollia perspicillata(of either sex). Our present approach uses behaviourally relevant vocalisation stimuli that are similar to the animals’ natural soundscape. We show that deviance detection in ABRs is significantly stronger for echolocation pulses than for social communication calls or artificial sounds, indicating that subthalamic deviance detection depends on the behavioural meaning of a stimulus. Additionally, complex physical sound features like frequency- and amplitude-modulation affected the strength of deviance detection in the ABR. In summary, our results suggest that the brain can detect different types of deviants already in the brainstem, showing that subthalamic brain structures exhibit more advanced forms of deviance detection than previously known.Significance statementBats, like all mammals, rely on the identification of regulations and deviations in their acoustic environment. This phenomenon, called deviance detection, has been studied intensively in the past and keeps gaining attention in the field of electrophysiology. Over time, an impressive complexity of deviance detection could be shown, in both animal and human studies. However, complex forms of auditory deviance detection were so far only demonstrated for high-level brain structures. In this study, we show that complex deviance detection beyond simple frequency changes of auditory stimuli is already present in the lowest stations of the auditory pathway, the brainstem. These potentially feedback mediated effects could contribute significantly to the saving of resources very early in the processing of acoustic sounds.
Competition between poly-, pluri- and multi- in official French neologisms
Authors: Holeš Jan 
Published: January 2024

The article deals with the formation and use of the three prefixes that express plurality in French official terminology, on the example of the 162 terms appearing in FranceTerme and containing the prefixes pluri-, poly- and multi-. Among them, multi- is the most productive (104 terms), followed by poly- (50 terms) and pluri- (8 terms). With regard to the distribution of terms according to the domains, the natural and technical sciences dominate over the social sciences. The comparison with the English equivalents reveals a fairly high correspondence rate, even if 23% of the terms are not constructed in the same way. Relatively frequent substitutions of prefixes between English and French, e.g. pluri- and poly- in French instead of multi- in English, witness about their partial synonymy.
