Abstract

Bladder volume measurement is critical for early detection and management of lower urinary tract dysfunctions. Current gold standard is invasive, and alternative technologies either require trained personnel or do not offer medical grade information. Here, we report an integrated wearable ultrasonic bladder volume monitoring (UBVM) device for accurate and autonomous continuous monitoring of the bladder volume. The device incorporates flexible and air-backed ultrasonic transducers and miniaturized control electronics with wireless data transmission capability. We demonstrated the real-life application of the device on healthy volunteers with various bladder shapes and sizes with high accuracy. Apart from the lower urinary tract dysfunctions, the proposed technology could also be adapted for various wearable ultrasonic applications.

Abstract
Supply chain risk management (SCRM) has come into focus in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw severe disruption in supply chains (SC) across the globe. So as to secure SCs, insulate them as much as possible from certain risks, and mitigate the severity of the consequences of disruptions, such as those that occur during pandemics, researchers and policy makers need to be abreast of developments in the field of SCRM. This study selected hot and frequently cited papers of WoS from the last 10 years for analysis, performing quantitative visualization analysis so as to establish what the current trends are within the field. Additionally, further attention was paid to those studies that specifically focused on the impact of COVID-19 on SCs. This study used a keyword timeline and clustering analysis map to establish what the main research directions in SCRM were between the years 2012 to 2018, as well as the perspectives from which SC optimization was studied from 2018 to 2021. The key journals and research institutions for SCRM are established, as well as the key categories that the published literature falls under. Cluster analysis shows which areas in the published literature have the most references. Further, the study establishes the direction of current trends within SCRM research, such as those concerning the integration of blockchain technology, and SC designs with low ‘certainty’ requirements, and suggests developing an innovative perspective with regards to SC disruption management. Finally, the study finds that understudied areas of SCRM include the correlations between supply chain resilience and sustainability, the environmental and social dimensions of designing sustainable SC networks, and the lack of focus on the supply chains of low-demand items and SMEs (small and medium-size enterprises).

Abstract
The escalating impacts of climate change trigger the necessity to deal with hydro-meteorological hazards. Nature-based solutions (NBSs) seem to be a suitable response, integrating the hydrology, geomorphology, hydraulic, and ecological dynamics. While there are some methods and tools for suitability mapping of small-scale NBSs, literature concerning the spatial allocation of large-scale NBSs is still lacking. The present work aims to develop new toolboxes and enhance an existing methodology by developing spatial analysis tools within a geographic information system (GIS) environment to allocate large-scale NBSs based on a multi-criteria algorithm. The methodologies combine machine learning spatial data processing techniques and hydrodynamic modelling for allocation of large-scale NBSs. The case studies concern selected areas in the Netherlands, Serbia, and Bolivia, focusing on three large-scale NBS: rainwater harvesting, wetland restoration, and natural riverbank stabilisation. Information available from the EC H2020 RECONECT project as well as other available data for the specific study areas was used. The research highlights the significance of incorporating machine learning, GIS, and remote sensing techniques for the suitable allocation of large-scale NBSs. The findings may offer new insights for decision-makers and other stakeholders involved in future sustainable environmental planning and climate change adaptation.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
This study aims to assess the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends among Escherichia coli isolated from cats between 2008 and 2022, utilizing MIC data, within a one-health framework.

SAMPLE
The study analyzed MIC results from 1,477 feline E coli isolates that were obtained from samples submitted to the Cornell University Animal Health Diagnostic Center, primarily from the northeastern US.

METHODS
MIC values were categorized as susceptible or not susceptible using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute breakpoints. Multidrug resistance (MDR) was analyzed using a Poisson regression model. Additionally, accelerated failure time models were employed to analyze MIC values.

RESULTS
Out of the 1,477 E coli isolates examined, 739 (50%) showed susceptibility to all tested antimicrobials. Among the tested antimicrobials, cefazolin (69%) and ampicillin (74% for urinary tract isolates) exhibited the lowest susceptibility. Overall, 15% of isolates were not susceptible to cefovecin. E coli isolates were highly susceptible (> 95%) to antibiotics typically reserved for human use. Almost one-third of the isolates were classified as MDR, with nonurinary isolates more likely to exhibit an MDR pattern. A decrease in MICs for fluoroquinolones and gentamicin in recent years was identified. However, MICs for cephalexin increased from 2016 to 2022 and cefovecin from 2012 to 2019.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
This study highlights the challenge of AMR in feline medicine, emphasizing the importance of responsible antimicrobial use and surveillance to address E coli AMR. The related Currents in One Health by Cazer et al, JAVMA, December 2023, addresses additional feline antimicrobial stewardship topics.
Acute pyelonephritis in cats is frequently caused by Escherichia coli resistant to potentiated penicillins but has a better prognosis than other causes of acute kidney injury
Authors: Whitehouse William H. , Ostronic Abby L. , Viviano Katrina R. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical findings, microbiological data, treatment, and outcome of a population of cats with suspected acute pyelonephritis (APN).

ANIMALS
32 client-owned cats.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND PROCEDURES
Retrospective case series from 2 veterinary teaching hospitals between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2020. Cats were included if they had a positive bacterial urine culture and a clinical diagnosis of acute kidney injury.

RESULTS
Older female cats with underlying chronic kidney disease have a higher probability to develop bacterial culture–positive acute kidney injury or APN. Escherichia coli was the most commonly cultured bacterial species, and E coli isolates with susceptibility testing were resistant to amoxicillin-clavulanate but susceptible to fluoroquinolones or third-generation cephalosporins. Of the 20 cats with available follow-up information in the medical record, 14 were alive at 3 months after hospital discharge. Markers of renal function including creatinine (P = .008), BUN (P = .005), and phosphorus (P < .001) at the time of presentation were all higher in nonsurvivors compared with survivors.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The survival rate with feline APN is higher than previous reports of acute kidney injury when all etiologies are considered. Nonsurvivors had more pronounced azotemia upon initial presentation. Amoxicillin-clavulanate was a poor empirical antimicrobial in this cohort based on the microbiological data.

K131 Antarctic sea ice science: A case study of infrastructure, strategies, and skills
Authors: Stevens Craig , Robinson Natalie , Langhorne Pat 
Published: November 2023

​
If you are fortunate enough to have access to a port-side win-dow when flying into McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, you’ll see a long, slender glacier that spills off the south-western flank of Mount Erebus and then floats out into the waters of the Sound. This is the Erebus Glacier tongue, as big as any glacier in New Zealand, but tiny in Antarctic terms. It is also uncommonly narrow relative to its length, and edged by substantial undulations. It has been the focus of research ever since Scott’s last expedition, with geologist Griffith Taylor documenting its structure (Taylor 1922). Remarkably, given the decades-long interval between occurrences, the last few kilometres of the glacier broke off during their time there (Stevens et al. 2013). The abnormal structure, history of research, and ease of access mean it has been scientifically pored over for decades. It was also the starting point for the development of some Antarctic infrastructure that has been a mainstay of New Zealand sea ice research for more than thirty years. Ernest Rutherford is supposed to have said ‘we don’t have much money so we have to think’ (da C. Andrade 1964). In the era of ~10% success rates for funding applications, this could be augmented to additionally say ‘and be flexible and be prepared to take one’s time’. Big science is about big missions, large teams focused on a fundable goal, with its end-points well defined. Certainly, within this envelope, research takes its meanders and, science being science, advances are often found in the side-meanders. What about a different kind of mission? What if the mission is built upon meanders? What if we could go from listening to a glacier through to predicting the impacts of a changing climate?

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Approximately 10% of patients who have been infected with SARS-COV-2 have persistent symptoms that have reduced their quality of life. This is especially relevant in people who were infected during the first wave. The aim of this study is to analyze the consumption of health and social resources by people with persistent COVID and its relationship with the persistent symptomatology they present.
Methodology: Cross-sectional descriptive and correlational study in which data are collected from patients with persistent COVID collecting sociodemographic, clinical variables (number of persistent symptoms), and consumption of health and social resources. A descriptive and correlational study was performed.
Results: The participants in this study show a high affectation reflected in the large number of residual symptoms they present (mean 16.47 symptoms). Therefore, there is a considerable increase in the use of public and private health, social and legal resources. Primary care services are the most frequently used by these patients.
Conclusion: Timely planning of patient-centered resources and services for post-COVID-19 care is needed.
Environment, Ethics, and Entity Economics, Economia Aziendale. Historical and Ontological Aspects
Authors: Galassi Giuseppe 
Published: November 2023

The paper stresses the failure of ‘economics’ to predict and prevent repeated economic crises and the most critical topic of the environmental failure and ecological crises, founded also on economic theories and misconceived choices. The implication is a search for alternatives through an ontological-evolutionary-institutional approach and empirical investigations.
The search for political ‘normative economics’, entity economics, accounting and information science copes with social and ecological-environmental problems, and systems science; it is necessary to keep always in mind these interactions for fully understand and correctly interpret the present ‘social-economic reality’.
The problem concerning environmental decisions goes beyond ontology and belongs to ethics. It must underline the debates on ‘evolutionary ethics’, not only related with ‘environmental and ecological economics’, the management of environment and reporting, but also with ‘evolutionary ontology’; the new perspective affirms that ‘existence’, for instance, of a moral behavioral attitude, can reveal itself as a ‘norm’ thus relating ethics to ontology.
General economists, entity economics theorists, as well as accountants and information scientists should be familiar with the potentials and limits of ‘ontology’, also for the ongoing expansion of computerization of scientific research in most of the scientific domains. The renewed interest, particularly in ontology, arouse specifically from systems scientists in constructing a wide variety of artificial intelligent systems. For its analysis, the study has been structured into two periods of time: until the middle of the 20th century and from that moment on. The paper ends by showing the new developments in information systems and their ontological approach
