Screening and prevention of ovarian cancer
Authors: Sideris Michail , Menon Usha , Manchanda Ranjit 
Published: February 2024

Summary

Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynaecological malignancy with 314 000 cases and 207 000 deaths annually worldwide. Ovarian cancer cases and deaths are predicted to increase in Australia by 42% and 55% respectively by 2040.

Earlier detection and significant downstaging of ovarian cancer have been demonstrated with multimodal screening in the largest randomised controlled trial of ovarian cancer screening in women at average population risk. However, none of the randomised trials have demonstrated a mortality benefit. Therefore, ovarian cancer screening is not currently recommended in women at average population risk. More frequent surveillance for ovarian cancer every three to four months in women at high risk has shown good performance characteristics and significant downstaging, but there is no available information on a survival benefit.

Population testing offers an emerging novel strategy to identify women at high risk who can benefit from ovarian cancer prevention. Novel multicancer early detection biomarker, longitudinal multiple marker strategies, and new biomarkers are being investigated and evaluated for ovarian cancer screening.

Risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) decreases ovarian cancer incidence and mortality and is recommended for women at over a 4–5% lifetime risk of ovarian cancer. Pre‐menopausal women without contraindications to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) undergoing RRSO should be offered HRT until 51 years of age to minimise the detrimental consequences of premature menopause.

Currently risk‐reducing early salpingectomy and delayed oophorectomy (RRESDO) should only be offered to women at increased risk of ovarian cancer within the context of a research trial. Pre‐menopausal early salpingectomy is associated with fewer menopausal symptoms and better sexual function than bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy.

A Sectioning and Extensively Examining the Fimbria (SEE‐FIM) protocol should be used for histopathological assessment in women at high risk of ovarian cancer who are undergoing surgical prevention.

Opportunistic salpingectomy may be offered at routine gynaecological surgery to all women who have completed their family. Long term prospective opportunistic salpingectomy studies are needed to determine the effect size of ovarian cancer risk reduction and the impact on menopause.
Modeling Based on Daily Data of PV Power Plants

Published: February 2024

Modeling performance characteristics is essential for the design and optimal operation of solar power plants. However, due to the influence of various factors on the performance of solar panels and data changes over time, determining an exact relationship between output power and weather conditions is still challenging. In this chapter, a hybrid method based on genetic programming will be presented for accurate modeling of solar power plant characteristics, which includes two steps. First, three points of open-circuit voltage, maximum power point, and short-circuit current are modeled as functions of atmospheric conditions. For this purpose, by using the modeling process based on genetic programming, relationships with high fit will be obtained for these three points in terms of cell temperature and radiation. Then, with the help of these equations, the voltage–current characteristics are modeled based on the circuit analysis methods and without the need for factory data. To evaluate the modeling for a 3 kW solar power plant, and based on the results, the effectiveness of the proposed method will be shown.
Novel Approach for Turbulent Flow- and Onset Analysis
Authors: K. Gustavsson Mattias 
Published: February 2024

It is a well-known fact that the matching of experimental data to turbulence models have hitherto not been successful. An example of this is the inability to theoretically predict the Re number at which turbulence onset (transition) occurs. In this paper, some advantages of adopting a “far-from-equilibrium” irreversible process analysis are demonstrated: To illustrate, one may at a single geometric point near a solid wall, compute conditions for mass conservation, 1st, and 2nd laws of thermodynamics – assuming either Newton’s viscosity law- or an alternative far-from-equilibrium fundamental model to be valid. While these conditions generally differ for various flows, it is observed that these conditions numerically match each other at ReD around 2300 for a fully developed pipe flow, or at Rex between 5 × 105 to 3 × 106 in a developing flat-plate boundary layer flow. This suggests that turbulence onset can be correctly predicted using the novel approach. Criteria and recommendations for experimental flow measurements, i.e. testing conditions, within a proposed far-from-equilibrium zone (e.g. viscous sublayer) is discussed as well.
Integrating museum collections and molecules reveals genus-level synonymy and new species in red devil spiders (Araneae, Dysderidae) from the Middle East and Central Asia

Published: February 2024

This paper reviews little-known species of the dysderid spider genera Dysdera Latreille, 1804, and Dysderella Dunin, 1992 based on specimens collected in the Caucasus, Middle East, and Central Asia. After combining molecular phylogeny of five mitochondrial and three nuclear genes with morphological evidence, Dysderella is proposed as a junior synonym of Dysdera. In addition, three species are described as new to science: D. jaegeri Bellvert & Dimitrov sp. nov., D. naouelae Bellvert & Dimitrov sp. nov., and D. kourosh Bellvert, Zamani & Dimitrov sp. nov. Four combinations are proposed: Dysdera caspica Dunin, 1990 comb. rev., Dysdera transcaspica Dunin & Fet, 1985 comb. rev., Dysdera elburzica (Zamani, Marusik & Szűts, 2023) comb. nov. and Dysdera sancticedri (Brignoli, 1978) comb. nov. (ex. Dasumia Thorell, 1875). Furthermore, we report a first record of D. festai Caporiacco, 1929 in Turkey and its male cheliceral polymorphism. Our results illustrate the deficiencies that undermine the current taxonomy of this genus. For example, many species are described based on only one or few specimens or limited locality data. The advancements in DNA sequencing technologies applied to museum specimens reduce the need for fieldwork collection and export of fresh specimens. This highlights the significance of museum collections for improving research in this field.

Published: February 2024

Context.—
Social media has become widely adopted by pathologists and other physicians for professional purposes. While engagement has likely increased over time, there remain few concrete data regarding attitudes toward its use.

Objective.—
To assess pathologists’ use of and attitudes toward social media over time.

Design.—
We created a survey regarding personal and professional use of social media and circulated it via multiple channels in December 2017 and again in February 2022. Results of the 2 surveys were compared for statistically significant differences.

Results.—
The 2017 survey was completed by 97 participants, and the 2022 survey by 305 participants. Respondents were predominantly female and academics, included pathologists in all age categories and all time-in-practice length. In both surveys, Twitter (now X) was the most popular platform for professional use and Facebook was the most popular for personal use. Professional barriers to social media use remained consistent between the 2 surveys, including the amount of time required. Education was seen as the main benefit of social media use in both surveys, while other benefits such as networking and increasing professional visibility were endorsed significantly less often in the second survey. While the second survey received more than 3 times as many responses as the first, several aspects of social media use (mainly demographics) remained similar during the timeframe, while other aspects (such as usage and perceived values) decreased.

Conclusions.—
Pathologists continue to find social media valuable. Barriers remain, though overall pathologists of all ages and practice settings appear receptive to using social media to further educational and other opportunities.

Background: Although there has been momentum in implementing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in most countries, young people typically remain underserved by these services despite their demonstrated need. This study aimed to determine the factors influencing access to and utilization of youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health (AYSRH) services in Isiolo County. This study was conducted under the Jhpiego-supported Accelerating Post pregnancy Family Planning Integration into Primary Healthcare (APIP) project that supports Isiolo.
Methods: Mixed-methods qualitative and quantitative approach​ was used. Data were collected using the KOBO digital tool. and analysis was performed using NVivo and Stata for qualitative and quantitative data, respectively.
Results: The baseline study found that 69% of the APIP-supported facilities offered YFSRHS, with 77% of the facilities conveniently located for ease of access by the youths. 69% of the facilities had AYSRH signages displayed outside the buildings, with 31% displaying the signages inside the building. 31% of the facilities had separate counseling and examination rooms to ensure privacy for the youths as they sought services. 54% of the facilities involved the youth in decision-making during the provision of the YFSRHS. The study also found that 31% of the facilities involved their communities and made them aware of the YFHS provided at the hospitals.
Conclusion: Interventions focusing on implementing YFSRHS should aim at addressing challenges affecting quality services in health facilities to offer them according to the youth’s needs.

Published: February 2024

Long-term operation of fire alarm systems, even with routine maintenance, often leads to untimely detection of a fire. Due to the possibility of contamination, dust and, as a consequence, a decrease in the sensitivity of smoke fire detectors, their normal operation
will be in question. The use of smoke detectors in the process of maintenance that do not simulate the optical density of the environment corresponding to a real fire leads to the fact that in the event of a real fire, the possibility of timely detection of dangerous factors is reduced. The work examines the problem of checking the installed fire alarm system for its effective functioning, as well as the possibility of ensuring safe evacuation when threshold smoke levels are reached. Mathematical modeling of smoke propagation is presented and comparative full-scale tests are carried out. Based on a series of experiments, an effective method has been proposed
for testing a fire alarm system while simultaneously conducting exercises for the safe evacuation of personnel at a protected facility under conditions of a real decrease in visibility due to the appearance of smoke from a fire.
