BackgroundIn fiscal year 2021, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) provided care for sleep disorders to 599,966 Veterans, including 189,932 rural Veterans. To further improve rural access, the VA Office of Rural Health developed the TeleSleep Enterprise-Wide Initiative (EWI). TeleSleep's telemedicine strategies include tests for sleep apnea at the Veteran's home rather than in a sleep lab; Clinical Video Telehealth applications; and other forms of virtual care. In 2017 and 2020, VHA provided 3-year start-up funding to launch new TeleSleep programs at rural-serving VA medical facilities.MethodsIn early 2022, we surveyed leaders of 24 sites that received TeleSleep funding to identify successes, failures, facilitators, and barriers relevant to sustaining TeleSleep implementations upon expiration of startup funding. We tabulated frequencies on the multiple choice questions in the survey, and, using the survey's critical incident framework, summarized the responses to open-ended questions. TeleSleep program leaders discussed the responses and synthesized recommendations for improvement.Results18 sites reported sustainment, while six were “on track.” Sustainment involved medical centers or regional entities incorporating TeleSleep into their budgets. Facilitators included: demonstrating value; aligning with local priorities; and collaborating with spoke sites serving rural Veterans. Barriers included: misalignment with local priorities; and hiring delays. COVID was a facilitator, as it stimulated adoption of telehealth practices; and also a barrier, as it consumed attention and resources. Recommendations included: longer startup funding; dedicated funding for human resources to accelerate hiring; funders communicating with local facility leaders regarding how TeleSleep aligns with organizational priorities; hiring into job classifications aligned with market pay; and obtaining, from finance departments, projections and outcomes for the return on investment in TeleSleep.
Carboxylated cellulose nanocrystal cryogel monoliths: a multi-tool study of morphology and porosity of pure and magnetite nanoparticle-decorated CNC scaffolds
Authors: Chen Xining , Andrews Mark P. 
Published: November 2023

Tissue scaffolds are known to benefit from incorporation of nanoscale bio-additives like cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), which can affect porosity as an important tunable design parameter for bio-based scaffolds. In this paper, we probe how freeze-casting of carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals and CNC derivatized with magnetite nanoparticles yields macroscale cryogel scaffold monoliths. Cryogel topographical features and macropore morphologies depend on the conditions under which ice formation takes place, and on exposure to static magnetic fields. We examine porosity over several length scales with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with Local Thickness Euclidean distance image processing, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and dynamic vapor sorption (DVS). SAXS data fitted with a mass fractal model and power law suggest that CNC particles aggregate to form well-defined compact walls in the range of 96.7–27.3 nm for all samples, while inclusion of Fe3O4 nanoparticles disrupts this compactness in the range of 27.3–4.8 nm. Analysis of DVS reveals that nanoparticles directly impact water uptake by the cryogel scaffolds and can reduce water sorption in mesopores with a radius of 5–6 nm.
Pilot study of a digital literacy-based intervention to confront concomitant crises amongst key food system actors in Chile

Published: November 2023

IntroductionThe fragility of food systems in Chile has been exposed through concomitant crises, from a social crisis in 2019 to the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing climate change. There is an increased dependence on information and communication technologies (ICTs) to produce, sell, and consume food and the digital divide has increased. The lack of digital literacy in Chile has not been evaluated or considered within comprehensive interventions.MethodsTo examine how local food systems can be strengthened, we conducted a pilot study of a digital literacy-based intervention with smallholder farmers, vendors, and consumers (n = 96) of different age groups (25–45 y, and 46–65 y) from adjacent urban and rural regions in Chile. Telephone surveys were carried out on the use of ICTs, access to the food environment, and agricultural practices during crises. A 5-week digital literacy intervention was carried out on digital confidence, the use of ICTs to generate networks, networks, the use of apps to sell or buy food, banking operations, and communication with state agencies. We also planned a virtual conversation about the food system and nutrition in Chile.ResultsAll participants knew how to read and send WhatsApp messages but &gt;50% of farmers and vendors reported cell signal problems. Between the 2019 social crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, supermarkets as the main source of food decreased from 79 to 57%, and delivery increased from 2 to 17%. In total, 92% of the participants received the intervention, and 52% expressed satisfaction. Across participants, the average implementation score was 61%. Only one person connected to the virtual conversation.DiscussionCrises have impacted how the Chilean population in both urban and rural regions navigate their food environment for their household as well as small-scale agricultural production in these areas; elucidating a greater dependency on ICTs amongst small-scale farmers, vendors, and consumers in Chile to buy and/or sell food. We also conclude that it is feasible to implement a digital literacy intervention for key food system actors in urban and rural settings in Chile. Future studies will contribute to the evidence base about the feasibility and impact of similar digital literacy interventions; an area of increasing importance given the rising prevalence of the digital food environment worldwide.

Published: November 2023

The rocks surrounding Wieliczka salt deposits are an extreme, deep subsurface ecosystem that as we studied previously harbors many microorganisms, including methanotrophs. In the presented research bacterial community structure of the Wieliczka Salt Mine was determined as well as the methanotrophic activity of the natural microbiome. Finally, an enrichment culture of methane-consuming methanotrophs was obtained. The research material used in this study consisted of rocks surrounding salt deposits in the Wieliczka Salt Mine. DNA was extracted directly from the pristine rock material, as well as from rocks incubated in an atmosphere containing methane and mineral medium, and from a methanotrophic enrichment culture from this ecosystem. As a result, the study describes the composition of the microbiome in the rocks surrounding the salt deposits, while also explaining how biodiversity changes during the enrichment culture of the methanotrophic bacterial community. The contribution of methanotrophic bacteria ranged from 2.614% in the environmental sample to 64.696% in the bacterial culture. The methanotrophic enrichment culture was predominantly composed of methanotrophs from the genera Methylomonas (48.848%) and Methylomicrobium (15.636%) with methane oxidation rates from 3.353 ± 0.105 to 4.200 ± 0.505 µmol CH4 mL−1 day−1.

Authors: Zhu Jiahui , Wang Xinyun , Su Heling 
Published: November 2023

In this paper, we consider a 2D stochastic quasi-geostrophic equation driven by jump noise in a smooth bounded domain. We prove the local existence and uniqueness of mild Lp(D)-solutions for the dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation with a full range of subcritical powers α∈(12,1] by using the semigroup theory and fixed point theorem. Our approach, based on the Yosida approximation argument and Itô formula for the Banach space valued processes, allows for establishing some uniform bounds for the mild solutions and we prove the global existence of mild solutions in L∞(0,T;Lp(D)) space for all p>22α−1, which is consistent with the deterministic case.

Swine influenza A viruses (SwIAVs) are pathogens of both veterinary and medical significance. Intranasal (IN) vaccination has the potential to reduce flu infection. We investigated the efficacy of split SwIAV H1N2 antigens adsorbed with a plant origin nanoparticle adjuvant [Nano11–SwIAV] or in combination with a STING agonist ADU-S100 [NanoS100–SwIAV]. Conventional pigs were vaccinated via IN and challenged with a heterologous SwIAV H1N1-OH7 or 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus. Immunologically, in NanoS100–SwIAV vaccinates, we observed enhanced frequencies of activated monocytes in the blood of the pandemic virus challenged animals and in tracheobronchial lymph nodes (TBLN) of H1N1-OH7 challenged animals. In both groups of the virus challenged pigs, increased frequencies of IL-17A+ and CD49d+IL-17A+ cytotoxic lymphocytes were observed in Nano11–SwIAV vaccinates in the draining TBLN. Enhanced frequency of CD49d+IFNγ+ CTLs in the TBLN and blood of both the Nano11-based SwIAV vaccinates was observed. Animals vaccinated with both Nano11-based vaccines had upregulated cross-reactive secretory IgA in the lungs and serum IgG against heterologous and heterosubtypic viruses. However, in NanoS100–SwIAV vaccinates, a slight early reduction in the H1N1 pandemic virus and a late reduction in the SwIAV H1N1-OH7 load in the nasal passages were detected. Hence, despite vast genetic differences between the vaccine and both the challenge viruses, IN vaccination with NanoS100–SwIAV induced antigen-specific moderate levels of cross-protective immune responses.

Цель исследования — изучение целесообразности включения аудиологического тестирования в систему комплексной гериатрической оценки (КГО) пациентов. Представлены результаты обследования 988 человек пожилого и старческого возраста (средний возраст — 77±7,4 года), каждому из которых была проведена КГО и оценка слуха путем заполнения скрининговой анкеты для пожилых с нарушениями слуха (Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly, Screening version — HHIE-S). Все пациенты были разделены на две группы: 1-я — 780 стационарных пациентов, проходивших медико-социальную реабилитацию в разных отделениях Санкт-Петербургского городского гериатрического центра; 2-я — 208 амбулаторных пациентов, из которых 81 дополнительно было проведено аудиологическое обследование, включавшее осмотр ЛОР-органов и тональную пороговую аудиометрию для определения степени снижения слуховой функции. Выявлена корреляция состояния слуха и когнитивного статуса пациентов по результатам краткой шкалы оценки психического статуса (Mini-Mental State Examination, MMSE), а также индекса старческой астении (FI). Результаты работы свидетельствуют о необходимости включения скрининговой анкеты HHIE-S в систему КГО для раннего выявления тугоухости, своевременной коррекции слуха и профилактики когнитивных расстройств.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the advantage of including audiological testing in the system of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) of patients. The results of a survey of 988 elderly and senile people (average age 77±7,4 years) are presented, each of whom underwent a CGA and hearing assessment by fi lling out a questionnaire Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly, Screening version (HHIE-S). All patients were divided into two groups: the fi rst group included 780 inpatient patients undergoing medical and social rehabilitation in different departments of the Saint-Petersburg City Geriatric Center. The second group included 208 outpatient patients, of whom 81 additionally underwent an audiological examination, which included ENT examination and pure tone audiometry to determine the degree of hearing loss. A correlation was revealed between the hearing state and the cognitive status of patients according to the results of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire, as well as the senile asthenia index. The results of the work indicate the need to include the HHIE-S questionnaire in the system of comprehensive geriatric assessment for early detection and correction of hearing loss, and prevention of cognitive disorders.

Представлены результаты исследований по очистке кислотно-щелочных сточных вод гальванического производства от ионов тяжелых металлов нейтрализацией, отстаиванием и фильтрованием. В ходе лабораторного эксперимента, проведенного с обработкой едким натром реальных кислотно-щелочных сточных вод одного из предприятий г. Самары, найден оптимальный интервал pH, который составил 9,8–10,6. На проточной модели вертикального отстойника определена расчетная гидравлическая крупность взвеси, образующейся при подщелачивании данной категории сточных вод, которая может быть принята 0,28 мм/с. Экспериментально определена глубина удаления ионов тяжелых металлов при очистке сточных вод гальванического производства по схеме «корректировка рН – отстойник – фильтр с зернистой загрузкой», которая составила, мг/л: железа общего 0,42–0,97; меди 0,028–0,087; никеля 0,016–0,073; цинка 0,047–0,28; кадмия 0,006–0,016. При этом требования по приему производственных сточных вод в городскую канализацию г. Самары были выполнены только по железу, концентрации остальных металлов составляли от 0,85 до 13,3 долей допустимых концентраций, в связи с чем для достижения установленных нормативов требуется доочистка, например, сорбцией.
The results of studies on the removal of heavy metal ions from acid-base wastewater of electroplating industry by neutralization, sedimentation and filtration are presented. During a laboratory experiment carried out with processing real acid-base wastewater of one of the enterprises in Samara with caustic soda, the optimal pH range found was 9.8–10.6. Using a flow through model of a vertical settling tank, the calculated hydraulic size of the suspension generated during the alkalization of the given wastewater category was determined that can be taken as 0.28 mm/s. The level of heavy metal ion removal in the process of galvanic wastewater treatment according to the flow scheme «pH adjustment – settling tank – filter with granular media» was experimentally determined in mg/l as: total iron 0.42–0.97; copper 0.028–0.087; nickel 0.016–0.073; zinc 0.047–0.28; cadmium 0.006–0.016. At the same time, the requirements for receiving industrial effluents into the Samara municipal sewer were met only for iron; whereas, the concentrations of other metals ranged from 0.85 to 13.3 shares of the permissible concentrations; therefore, in order to achieve the established standards, additional treatment was required, for example, by sorption.

Abstract
We developed graphene FET (G-FET) arrays combined with a portable microfluidic measurement system for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Multiple G-FETs modified with SARS-CoV-2 spike antibodies and those not modified were integrated onto the same chip. By calculating the difference in the FET-responses, we aimed to minimize noise including virus physisorption and baseline drifts. The microfluidic system was used to change ionic strengths of buffers without manual pipetting. The virus was incubated in a high ionic strength solution, followed by electrical measurements in a low ionic strength solution, leading to effective binding and electrical detection. Upon introducing the virus at a concentration of 108 virus ml−1, a response of 7.9 mV was obtained. To confirm whether the response was attributed to the virus, we employed a scanning electron microscope (SEM). SEM observation indicates that the virus was much adsorbed on the antibody-modified surface compared to the non-modified surface, which agrees with the G-FET response.
Displasia Broncopulmonar: Revisão Narrativa Da Literatura
Authors: Moreira Carolina Alves Rosa , Guerra Priscilla 
Published: November 2023

Introdução: A taxa de mortalidade entre os recém-nascidos de muito baixo peso tem diminuído devido aos avanços nos cuidados perinatais. No entanto, a displasia broncopulmonar (DBP) continua sendo uma das principais complicações da prematuridade, resultando em elevada morbidade e mortalidade.
Objetivo: Revisar a literatura buscando sintetizar os aspectos clínicos relacionados à DBP. Buscou-se identificar as definições, os principais fatores de risco, complicações e principalmente as novas estratégias de prevenção e tratamento.
Método: Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura utilizou artigos publicados entre 2000 e 2023, selecionados em banco de dados eletrônico e pesquisa manual.
Conclusões: O desenvolvimento da doença é resultado de interações entre fatores pré e pós-natais. A identificação precoce de crianças com maior risco de desenvolver a doença pode permitir uma abordagem melhor para a redução da sua incidência no futuro. O uso do corticoide sistêmico de forma precoce tem mostrado resultados positivos não só em interromper o ciclo de desenvolvimento DBP, mas também por contribuir para desmame precoce da oxigenioterapia. Já as demais terapias, como terapia molecular e células tronco, ainda precisam de novas pesquisas para identificar seu real impacto. Em suma, deve-se focar nas ações preventivas da DBP, incluindo o uso precoce dos corticoides, dando seguimento e proporcionando crescimento e desenvolvimento adequados à criança, além de combater infecções, diminuir hospitalizações e minimizar sequelas.
