Tracing exploitation of egg boons: an experimental study using fatty acids and stable isotopes
Authors: Nair Parvathi , Miller Cambria M. , Fuiman Lee A. 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
Coordinated spawning of marine animals releases millions of planktonic eggs into the environment, known as egg boons. Eggs are rich in essential fatty acids and may be an important lipid subsidy to egg consumers. Our aim was to validate the application of fatty acid and stable isotope tracers of egg consumption to potential egg consumers and to confirm egg consumption by the selected species. We conducted feeding experiments with ctenophores, crustaceans and fishes. We fed these animals a common diet of Artemia or a commercial feed (Otohime) and simulated egg boons for half of them by intermittently supplementing the common diet with red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) eggs for 10–94 days. Controls did not receive eggs. Fatty acid profiles of consumers fed eggs were significantly different from those of controls 24 h after the last egg-feeding event. Consumers took on fatty acid characteristics of eggs. In fishes and ctenophores, fatty acid markers of egg consumption did not persist 2–5 days after the last egg-feeding event, but markers of egg consumption persisted in crustaceans for at least 5–10 days. Additionally, consumption of eggs, which had high values of δ15N, led to δ15N enrichment in crustaceans and a fish. We conclude that fatty acids and nitrogen stable isotope can be used as biomarkers of recent egg consumption in marine animals, validating their use for assessing exploitation of egg boons in nature.

Published: November 2023

Spatially twisted light with femtosecond temporal structure is of particular interest in strong-field physics and light–matter interactions. However, present femtosecond vortex sources exhibit limited power handling capabilities, and their amplification remains an ongoing challenge particularly for high-order orbital angular momentum (OAM) states due to several inherent technical difficulties. Here, we exploit a straightforward approach to directly amplify a femtosecond optical vortex (FOV, OAM=−8ℏ) by using a two-stage single-crystal fiber (SCF) amplifier system without pulse stretching and compression in the time domain, delivering 23-W, 163-fs pulses at a repetition rate of 1 MHz. The spatial and temporal features are well-conserved during the amplification, as well as the high modal purity (>96%). The results indicate that the multi-stage SCF amplifier system is particularly suited for direct amplification of high-order FOVs. The generated high-power femtosecond OAM laser beams are expected to help reveal complex physical phenomena in light–matter interactions and pave the way for practical applications in attoscience, laser plasma acceleration, and high-dimension micromachining.

Background
People in criminal justice settings (CJS) have high rates of opioid use disorder (OUD) and HIV. Probation is part of the CJS and congregates many individuals with high rates of mental health and substance use disorders relative to the general population; nevertheless, probation remains a major improvement to incarceration. As a steppingstone to full decarceration efforts, community supervision settings like probation can be leveraged as “touchpoints” to identify and link people with OUD (and other co-morbid conditions) to treatment and reduce criminal activity.

Methodology
To determine the feasibility of a modified screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) strategy to link probationers to opioid agonist therapies (OAT) in the newly created probation system in Ukraine, we conducted a single-arm SBIRT intervention in eight probation centers in four Ukrainian administrative regions. For those screening positive for OUD, interest in OAT was assessed before and after a brief intervention. Those interested in OAT were referred to community OAT services. Participants with OUD also underwent HIV testing.

Principal findings
Of the 1,298 consecutive individuals screened, 208 (16.0%) met criteria for opioid dependence. Of these, 122 (58.7%) enrolled in brief intervention, of which 54 (44.3%) had HIV and 14 (25.9%) of these were newly diagnosed. After the brief intervention, interest in starting OAT increased significantly from a median of 7.0 to 8.0 (P = <0.001) using a 10-point scale. Thirty (N = 30; 24.6%) of the enrolled participants initiated OAT and 21 of these (70%) were retained in treatment for 6 months.

Significance
The prevalence of OUD (and HIV) is high among people in probation in Ukraine. SBIRT can identify a large number of people eligible for OAT, many of whom were willing to initiate and remain on OAT. Integrating SBIRT into probation can potentially assist with OAT scale-up and help address HIV prevention efforts.

IntroductionIron deficiency is among the leading risk factors for poor cognitive development. However, interventions targeting iron deficiency have had mixed results on cognitive outcomes. This may be due to previous interventions focusing on the correction of iron deficiency anaemia in late infancy and early childhood, at which point long lasting neural impacts may already be established. We hypothesise that the relationship between iron status and cognitive development will be observable in the first months of life and will not be recovered by 5 years of age.MethodsUsing data from the Brain Imaging for Global Health (BRIGHT) Study in Gambia (n = 179), we conducted mixed effects modelling to assess the relationship between iron status at 5 months of age and trajectories of cognitive development from 5 months– 5 years using (i) a standardised measure of cognitive development (Mullen Scales of Early Learning) and (ii) an eye-tracking assessment of attention processing (visual disengagement time).ResultsAll infants were iron sufficient at 1 month of age. At 5 and 12 months of age 30% and 55% of infants were iron deficient respectively. In fully adjusted analyses, infants in the lowest tercile of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) (best iron status) achieved MSEL Cognitive Scores on average 1.9 points higher than infants in the highest sTfR tercile (p = 0.009, effect size = 0.48). There was no evidence that this group difference was recovered by 5 years of age. Infants in the lowest sTfR tercile had visual disengagement time 57ms faster than the highest tercile (p = 0.001, effect size = 0.59). However, this difference diminished by early childhood (p = 0.024).ConclusionInfants are at risk of iron deficiency in early infancy. A relationship between iron status and cognitive development is apparent from 5 months of age and remains observable at 5 years of age. One mechanism by which iron availability in early infancy impacts brain development may be through effects on early attentional processing, which is rapidly developing and has substantial nutritional requirements during this period. To support neurocognitive development, prevention of iron deficiency in pre- and early postnatal life may be more effective than correcting iron deficiency once already established.
Association between total bilirubin/Albumin ratio and all-cause mortality in acute kidney injury patients: A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Huang Ximei , Huang Yunhua , Chen Min , Liao Lin , Lin Faquan 
Published: November 2023

Background
The association between the total bilirubin/albumin (B/A) and the all-cause mortality of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the relationship between B/A ratio and mortality in patients with AKI.

Methods
The clinical data of AKI patients in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the low and high B/A groups (B/A ≤ 0.25 and B/A > 0.25, respectively). The primary outcome was 28-day all-cause mortality, and the secondary outcomes were 60-day, 1-year and 4-year all-cause mortality. Kaplan–Meier survival curves and Cox proportional risk models were constructed to evaluate the effect of B/A on survival outcomes.

Results
The 28-day mortality rates were 18.00% and 25.10% in the low and high B/A groups, respectively (P < 0.001). The Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that patients with higher B/A values had higher all-cause mortality risk (log-rank P < 0.0001). The multivariate Cox proportional risk analysis showed that B/A was an independent risk predictor for death at 28 days, 60 days, 1 year, and 4 years.

Conclusion
B/A is an independent risk factor for increased mortality in patients with AKI and may be used as a predictor of clinical outcomes in AKI.
¿Participar en chat de mensajería de un grupo de apoyo a la lactancia, en el que haya asesoras de lactancia, reduce las consultas en pediatría y matrona?

Introducción
El presente trabajo da respuesta a la siguiente pregunta: ¿Las familias lactantes que participan en un grupo de mensajería instantánea gestionado por un grupo de apoyo a la lactancia materna (GALM) en el que hay asesoras de lactancia reducen el número de consultas a pediatría y matrona en atención primaria?
Material, Métodos
Se elaboró, en formulario Google, una encuesta anónima y autoadministrada, compuesta por 30 preguntas y se difundió entre madres lactantes participantes en grupo de mensajería instantánea gestionado por un GALM de España en el que hubiera alguna asesora de lactancia materna.
Resultados
810 participantes completaron la encuesta. 453 de ellas (55.9%) aseguran que no han necesitado acudir a la matrona después de consultar en el grupo y 252 (31.1%) no han necesitado acudir a la consulta de pediatría. El 70% de las encuestadas aseguran haber evitado al menos 1 consulta a la matrona y el 76.3% a pediatría.
Conclusiones
De los resultados se desprende que las madres lactantes consultan más sobre temas relacionados con la salud infantil que sobre la materna y que la participación reduce el número de consultas a pediatría y matrona. Se puede afirmar que los grupos de mensajería instantánea gestionados de forma altruista por GALM, que cuentan con asesoras de lactancia, otros perfiles sanitarios y madres lactantes sirven como cribado previo antes de la derivación al sistema sanitario, reduciendo así la carga asistencial por temas relativos a crianza y lactancia no clínicos, mejorando así la autoconfianza mediante la salud comunitaria.

Authors: Muñoz Alba Estefanía 
Published: November 2023

Introducción. A pesar de las recomendaciones promulgadas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, las tasas globales de prevalencia de lactancia materna son bajas. La actitud y el afrontamiento de la madre hacia diversos factores físicos, sociales y emocionales pueden condicionar la duración de la lactancia. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer qué factores son críticos a la hora de afrontar con éxito la lactancia, mediante la creación de una escala de actitudes hacia algunas de las dificultades asociadas a la lactancia materna.
Material y métodos. Se elaboró un cuestionario basado en comparaciones binarias con siete factores: cansancio, regreso al trabajo, percepción de baja producción de leche, amamantar en público, necesitar asesoramiento o ayuda, dolor asociado a problemas físicos y baja autoeficacia para la conducta de amamantar. Se seleccionaron, por muestreo consecutivo, 30 mujeres en el tercer trimestre de gestación, de las que 22 cumplimentaron correctamente el cuestionario. Finalmente, se llevó a cabo el análisis de datos mediante el Método de Thurstone.
Resultados. Se obtuvo una escala de actitud, en la que constan de mayor a menor importancia los factores: dolor físico (Z=0,561), sentido de autoeficacia (Z=0,44), regreso al trabajo (Z=0,105), percepción de baja producción de leche (Z=-0,07), necesidad de ayuda (Z= -0,07), cansancio (Z=-0,17) y amamantamiento en público (Z=-1,13).
Conclusiones. El apoyo instrumental y emocional durante la estancia hospitalaria y tras el alta favorece un mejor afrontamiento de las dificultades asociadas a la lactancia materna.

Introducción: La Encuesta sobre Conocimientos en Lactancia (ECoLa) es una herramienta validada en España, en México no se cuenta con una similar. Los médicos de familia deben promover y apoyar la lactancia. En México, en diversos niveles existen barreras para la lactancia. El objetivo fue determinar el conocimiento en lactancia e indagar la visión sobre las barreras de la lactancia de los residentes de medicina de familia.
Pacientes y métodos: Estudio observacional y transversal efectuado durante el confinamiento por la COVID-19. Mediante el instrumento adaptado se determinó el conocimiento en lactancia, clasificándolo en muy insuficiente (<55 %, 0-10 puntos), insuficiente (55-69 %, 11-13 puntos), bien (70-85 %, 14-17 puntos) y excelente (>85 %, 18-20 puntos). Se diseñó una pregunta para indagar las barreras de la lactancia.
Resultados: La media de respuestas fue de 10.3/20 IC95 % (9.7-11). El 58.1 % de los residentes (n = 72) obtuvieron una puntuación por debajo de 11 puntos (muy insuficiente). Existieron diferencias en las puntuaciones de acuerdo con el sexo (11.2, IC95 % 10.4-12 vs. 9.3, IC95 % 8.5-10.1, p = 0.001), presencia de hijos (11.4, IC95 % 10.2-12.5 vs. 9.8, IC95 % 9.1-10.5, p = 0.026) y experiencia personal o de pareja en lactancia (11.3, IC95 % 10.2-12.5 vs. 9.8, IC95 % 9-10.4, p = 0.023). El 22.6 % (n = 28) de los residentes consideró que la información proporcionada en los servicios de salud puede ser una barrera para la lactancia.
Energy and exergy analysis of primary steam superheating effects on the steam ejector applied in the solar renewable refrigeration cycle in the presence of spontaneous nucleation
Authors: zhang Wang Han 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The generator energy consumption in the renewable refrigeration cycles is supplied by solar energy, geothermal energy and waste heat. The thermal energy of low grade can be utilized to superheat the vapour in a generator of the refrigeration cycle. The effect of primary flow superheating was examined on the renewable refrigeration cycle performance using the wet steam model in the ejector. The vapour’s degree of superheating was selected in the 0–100 K range. The superheating level effects were investigated on parameters (wet steam, entrainment ratio, energy consumption, COP, second law efficiency and exergy destruction). The aim of this study is a comprehensive evaluation of the effect of superheat on the ejector refrigeration cycle and the flow behavior in the steam ejector simultaneously. The results represented that superheating the inlet steam in the primary nozzle weakens the spontaneous condensation intensity and delays the condensation shock, the combining process between the secondary flow and the primary flow is improved, and the entrainment ratio is increased, the generator energy consumption and the efficiency of the second law are decreased, the exergy destruction in the ejector is reduced, and the total exergy destruction of the refrigeration cycle is increased. Considering the second law efficiency, COP, the entrainment ratio and the energy consumption, a temperature of 40° of the superheat was achieved as the best degree of the superheat in this cycle that in comparison to the state without superheating, the entrainment ratio and COP are increased by 4.4 % and 1 %, the second law efficiency and the generator energy consumption are reduced by 19.5 % and 1.6 %, respectively.

AbstractIndeed, the textile dye industry has a significant impact on the global economy, as it is an integral part of the textile and fashion industries. However, this advancement has become a great concern with industrial waste, a good part of these dyes have toxic characteristics to the environment and living beings. The objective of this work is the use of local corn starch as an adsorbent, for the removal of acid violet (AV19), a dye that is highly toxic and carcinogenic in real water samples. The material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and infrared (IR). The optimized parameters were concentration, time, and pH, in which the best results will be obtained at 60 min and pH 7. The experiment was compared to the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin models. The concentration of dye was 4 mg L−1 had the highest removal which was 84.46 %. The prim rate constant isk′ = 0.8592 therefore the adsorption system studied obeys the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In the next step, we will apply the top-performing starch to environmental samples containing the investigated dye. An analytical curve was constructed in the 2–14 ppm range at a maximum wavelength of 590 nm. The detection limit was 0.541 mg/L, and the percentage recovery was obtained in the range of 95–99.8 % for real water samples.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACTThe global outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) resulted in governing bodies suspending professional sports leagues, including the National Basketball Association (NBA) and notably the International Olympic Committee (2020 Tokyo Olympic Games). As competitions resumed, performance staff shifted their focus to preparing athletes for a safe return to competition. This article provides novel and unique international perspectives on preparing basketball players for competition during COVID-19 lockdown outlining lessons learned from the NBA, FIBA Asia Cup, and Olympic Games. Reflections are provided unpacking central themes related to (a) the impact of COVID-19 on physiological and psychological domains; (b) strength and conditioning methods and nutritional strategies used in the (re)training process; and (c) situation-specific interventions and educational strategies related to psychological well-being. Collectively, performance staff responsible for the preparation of basketball players during COVID-19 must consider additional health and performance support to ensure physical and psychological readiness to complete without negatively impacting physical development.

Abstract
Degradation by fretting-corrosion of the stem-head interface is considered the main source of the release of metal ions and debris, leading to adverse tissue reactions at the cemented total hip arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of loading frequency on the fretting-corrosion degradation at the stem-head and stem-cement interfaces through electrochemical measurements during the benchtop testing. Different loading frequency conditions were investigated with the same number of cycles (1,000 cycles) to calculate the fretting current and Faraday mass loss. For both interfaces, there was a biphasic waveform response of the fretting current to the load applied, at 1 Hz, almost with phase opposition. An increase in the loading frequency (1 to 30 Hz) generated a higher fretting current for the stem-head (2.97 ± 2.04 μA to 7.66 ± 2.46 μA) and stem-cement (7.62 ± 2.26 μA to 25.48 ± 5.35 μA) interfaces. However, an increase in the loading frequency (1 to 30 Hz) reduced the Faraday mass loss of the stem-head (0.79 ± 0.54 μg to 0.07 ± 0.02 μg) and stem-cement (2.02 ± 0.62 μg to 0.32 ± 0.12 μg) interfaces because of a reduction in the overall testing time. Thus, there is a compromise relation between the fretting current and the Faraday mass loss, which must be considered when setting the loading frequencies in the fretting-corrosion benchtop testing of hip implants.

Published: November 2023

While LASIK and PRK have been employed for two decades, there are few long-term studies on refractive surgery. This paper analyzes the long-term outcomes of LASIK and PRK and reviews the risks, benefits, and technological breakthroughs of these procedures. Rates and causes of patient satisfaction are discussed in detail. Alternative techniques such as small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and surgical options for presbyopia are also explored.
