Evolution of A Practitioner's Cultural Competence and Cultural Humility With Three Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Families: A Case Study
Authors: Bharadwaj Sneha V. , Daniel Linda L. 
Published: October 2023

Purpose:
The objective of this case study was to document a practitioner's evolution in cultural competence and cultural humility when delivering aural rehabilitation via telepractice to three families.

Method:
The participants in this study included the practitioner and three mothers residing in different countries, all receiving aural rehabilitation coaching with their children via telepractice. The practitioner implemented an eight-step process to advance her cultural competence and cultural humility. She used the Ucare self-assessment tool pre- and postintervention to assess her cultural competence. Ethnographic interviews were conducted by the first author with the mothers to ascertain their cultural perspectives. Information from these interviews led to a 3-month phase of culturally modified intervention. A second interview was conducted with the mothers to evaluate their satisfaction with the modified intervention. The practitioner repeated the self-assessment after the modified intervention phase and documented her reflections and self-critique.

Results:
The pre-intervention cultural competence scores revealed that the practitioner had minimal awareness of the three cultures. Post intervention scores showed some improvement in cultural competence, though they remained in the minimal awareness category. Interview data revealed that the mothers approved of the modified intervention. The practitioner's self-assessment and self-reflection and the interviews with the mothers led to an action plan to further the practitioner's cultural competence.

Conclusions:
The eight-step process implemented by the practitioner led to increased cultural competence scores and the mothers' satisfaction after 3 months of culturally adapted intervention. The practitioner's perception and mothers' feedback suggested that more culturally congruent care was provided. Ongoing practitioner–mother collaboration was agreed upon to facilitate the practitioner's continued advancement in cultural competence.
Comment réaliser une biopsie hépatique afin d’en tirer le maximum d’informations ?
Authors: Lecoindre Alexis 
Published: October 2023

La réalisation de biopsies hépatiques est une étape importante dans l’évaluation d’un animal atteint d’une maladie hépatique. Les indications sont nombreuses et il est possible à partir du matériel obtenu de réaliser des examens complémentaires variés : analyse histologique, dosage du cuivre, bactériologie, recherche de toxiques. L’analyse histologique a pour but de caractériser l’affection hépatique et d’en préciser la sévérité, d’identifier la cause, et d’apporter une valeur pronostique. Elle permet également de contrôler l’efficacité d’un traitement ou d’évaluer l’évolution de la maladie et de la fibrose.
Diagnostic de gestation chez la furette par échotomographie à l’aide d’une sonde linéaire de 12,5 MHz
Authors: Tainturier Daniel , Savater Adeline 
Published: October 2023

La durée de la gestation de la furette est de 41 à 42 jours, sa contention sur le dos pendant l’examen est difficile. Avec une sonde linéaire de 12,5 MHz, les vésicules embryonnaires apparaissent au 15e jour, les embryons sont visibles dès le 18e jour, les 2 disques placentaires forment une ceinture complète autour du fœtus le 20e jour.
Les côtes sont décelées dès le 30e jour, mais l’ossification est insuffisante pour projeter des ombres acoustiques dans les jours précédents le terme sauf au niveau des scapulas où elles apparaissent au 33e jour.

AbstractX-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) associated with short stature during childhood
are mostly referred to the hospital and diagnosed as vitamin D deficiency
rickets and received vitamin D before adulthood. A case is presented with
clinical features of hypophosphatemia from childhood who did not seek medical
care for diagnosis and treatment, nor did his mother or two brothers, who have
short statures, bone pain, and fractures. The patient was assessed for
sociodemographic, hematological, and biochemical parameters together with a
genetic assessment. A DEXA scan and X-ray were done to determine the
abnormalities and deformities of joints and bones despite clinical examination
by an expert physician. All imaging, laboratory parameters, and the genetic
study confirmed the diagnosis of XLH. A detailed follow-up of his condition was
performed after the use of phosphate tablets and other treatments. X-linked
hypophosphatemia needs a good assessment, care, and follow up through a
complementary medical team including several specialties. Phosphate tablets in
adulthood significantly affects clinical and physical improvement and prevention
of further skeletal abnormality and burden on daily activity. The patients
should be maintained with an adequate dose of phosphate for better patient
compliance. More awareness is needed in society and for health professionals
when conducting medical checkups during the presence of stress fractures,
frequent dental and gum problems, rickets, short stature, or abnormality in the
skeleton or walking to think of secondary causes such as hypophosphatemia.
Further investigations including a visit to a specialist is imperative to check
for the primary cause of these disturbances.

AbstractHypothalamic amenorrhea leads to a hypoestrogenic state, causing decreased bone
mineral density (BMD), while strong impact loading on bone has been shown to
increase BMD. The purpose of this study is to compare BMD in female athletes
based on menstrual status and their sports/events by impact loading
characteristics. BMD at the lumbar spine was measured by dual-energy X-ray
absorptiometry and hormone level. The subjects were classified into four groups
and BMD and hormone levels were compared among the four groups, which were
divided into amenorrheic athletes (AAs) and eumenorrheic athletes (EAs). This
study recruited 410 female athletes (164 in the AAs and 246 in the EAs), 55
athletes in non-impact sports, 123 in low-impact sports, 141 in multidirectional
sports, and 91 in high-impact sports. In the AAs group, BMD Z-score was lowest
in low-impact sports (Z-score: –1.53 [–1.76, –1.30]),
and was highest in high-impact sports (Z-score: 0.02 [–0.34, 0.38]). In
multidirectional and high-impact sports, BMD Z-score in the AAs group did not
show results lower than the average for non-athletes. When screening female
athletes for low BMD, it is important to evaluate the risk of low BMD based on
the impact loading characteristics of their sports/events, in addition
to the menstrual state.

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Personbezogene Faktoren wurden von der Arbeitsgruppe
„ICF“ der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Sozialmedizin und
Prävention (DGSMP) klassifiziert. Die Leitlinien zur sozialmedizinischen
Beurteilung, das Sozialrecht und das dem zugrundeliegende biopsychosoziale
Modell fordern deren Berücksichtigung. Auf dieser Basis sollte im Zuge
einer Delphi-Befragung unter Expert:innen ein Konsens darüber gefunden
werden, welche dieser person- und umweltbezogenen Faktoren, wichtig für
die sozialmedizinische Begutachtung im Rahmen der Erwerbsminderungsrente bei
muskuloskeletalen Erkrankungen sind.
Material und Methoden Es wurde eine online Delphi-Befragung in drei Wellen
zur Konsensbildung unter Expert:innen durchgeführt, um relevante
ICF-Kontextfaktoren in der sozialmedizinischen Begutachtung zu identifizieren.
Um möglichst heterogene Perspektiven bei der Beantwortung der
Fragestellung zu involvieren wurden Personen aus den Bereichen
sozialmedizinische Begutachtung, Sozialrecht, Sozialmedizin, Wissenschaft, in
der Rehabilitation tätige Mediziner:innen, in der Rehabilitation
tätige Psycholog:innen und Patientenvertreter: innen rekrutiert.
Ergebnisse Für die Delphi-Befragung wurden N=76 Expert:
innen aus dem Feld der sozialmedizinischen Begutachtung rekrutiert. Von den 91
Faktoren wurden 86 Faktoren im Konsens, d. h. mit einer
Übereinstimmung von>80% der Teilnehmenden, als relevant
bzw. sehr relevant für die sozialmedizinische Begutachtung bewertet.
Lediglich der Faktor Sexualgewohnheiten wurde als kaum relevant bewertet.
Schlussfolgerungen Im Konsens als relevant bewertet wurden die meisten
Faktoren in den Kapiteln Einstellungen, Kompetenzen und Gewohnheiten und das
Kapitel Lebenslage. Dort wurden die meisten Faktoren als relevant konsensuiert.
Die Expert:innen einigten sich trotz ihrer großen fachlichen und
beruflichen Heterogenität. Das hebt die Relevanz dieser Kontextfaktoren
in der sozialmedizinischen Begutachtung im Rahmen einer Beantragung einer

Comparison of Treatment and Prognosis Between Follicular Variant
Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and Classical Papillary Thyroid
Carcinoma

Published: October 2023

AbstractThis cohort study evaluated the associations of different treatments with the
prognosis of follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) and
classical papillary thyroid carcinoma (CPTC) patients. The data of 69034 PTC
patients were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results
(SEER) database. The 5-year mortality of CPTC and FVPTC patients receiving
surgery, radiation and combination therapy were compared. The univariable and
multivariable cox proportional risk models explored the associations between
different treatments and the 5-year mortality in CPTC and FVPTC patients. The
5-year mortality of CPTC patients was 2.81% and FVPTC patients was
2.47%. Compared with CPTC receiving lobectomy and/or
isthmectomy, those not receiving surgery were associated with increased risk of
5-year mortality [Hazards ratio (HR)=3.27, 95% confidence
interval (CI): 2.55–4.20] while total thyroidectomy was correlated with
reduced risk of 5-year mortality (HR=0.67, 95%CI:
0.55–0.80). Radioactive iodine (RAI) was linked with decreased risk of
5-year mortality in CPTC patients (HR=0.57, 95%CI:
0.50–0.65). CPTC patients undergoing both surgery and radiation were
related to decreased risk of 5-year mortality compared with those receiving
surgery only (HR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.48–0.63). CPTC patients
receiving neither surgery nor radiation (HR=4.53, 95%CI:
3.72–5.51) or those receiving radiation (HR=1.98, 95%CI:
1.13–3.48) were correlated with elevated risk of 5-year mortality. The
elevated risk of 5-year mortality in FVPTC patients was reduced in those
undergoing RAI (HR=0.63, 95%CI: 0.51–0.76). In
conclusion, combination therapy was associated with decreased risk of 5-year
mortality in CPTC and FVPTC patients, which might provide a reference for the
management of these patients.
Dietary and Nutritional Supplementation for Painful Diabetic
Neuropathy: A Narrative Review
Authors: Apergi Kyriaki , Papanas Nikolaos 
Published: October 2023

AbstractPainful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a serious and very common complication of
diabetes mellitus (DM). It negatively affects the quality of life, increases
morbidity and poses a financial burden on the health care system. Currently,
treatment of PDN focuses on glycaemic control, while pathogenesis-oriented
therapy has not yielded satisfactory results. The need to improve therapy
remains. There is accumulating evidence on the potential benefit of nutritional
interventions. This narrative review aims to examine the potential benefit of
dietary and nutritional supplementation for PDN management. According to the
preliminary research, supplementation with vitamin E, B-complex, omega-3 fatty
acids, CoQ10 or N-acetylcysteine seems to be associated with promising results
in improving PDN symptoms.

Authors: Gyldenholm Tua , Hvas Anne-Mette , Christensen Thomas Decker , Larsen Julie Brogaard 
Published: October 2023

AbstractVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a main contributor to morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. Biomarkers with the potential to predict cancer-associated VTE are continually sought. Of these, markers of thrombin generation present a likely option. The present systematic review examines the ability of three widely used biomarkers of thrombin generation: prothrombin fragment 1.2 (F1.2), thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), and ex vivo thrombin generation, to predict VTE in both solid and hematologic adult cancer patients. Relevant studies were identified in the PubMed and Embase databases, and the review conformed to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Each study was evaluated using the quality assessment tool from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The review protocol was published on PROSPERO with identifier CRD42022362339. In total, 24 papers were included in the review: 11 reporting data on F1.2, 9 on TAT, and 12 on ex vivo thrombin generation. The quality ratings of the included studies varied from good (n = 13), fair (n = 8), to poor (n = 3) with a high heterogenicity. However, F1.2, TAT complex, and ex vivo thrombin generation were all found to be associated with the development of VTE. This association was most pronounced for F1.2. Furthermore, the determination of F1.2 was able to improve the precision of several established risk assessment scores. In conclusion, markers of thrombin generation were found to be elevated in cancer patients with VTE, and particularly, F1.2 was found to be a promising predictor of cancer-associated VTE.
Cultural inclusivity and corporate social responsibility in China
Authors: Sun Guangfan , Guo Changwei , Li Bin , Li Honglei 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis paper aims to explore whether cultural inclusivity has a significant impact on corporate social responsibility (CSR). The research shows that firms located in regions with higher cultural inclusivity tend to take on more social responsibilities, suggesting that corporate humanistic care and environmental awareness are linked to cultural inclusivity. Furthermore, the effect of cultural inclusivity is more evident in large firms, state-owned enterprises, and firms with high board independence. The use of natural disasters as an instrumental variable in the analysis helped to address endogeneity concerns. Additionally, the outcomes indicate that regions with greater exposure to cultural inclusivity tend to exhibit more characteristics of “gender equality” and fewer characteristics of “power gap”, which have a strong correlation with CSR. These findings shed light on the impact of cultural inclusivity on corporate governance and help explore the informal institutional factors influencing CSR at the geographical level.
Ultrafast pulse duration measurement method of near-infrared pulses for a broad range of wavelengths using two-photon absorption in a liquid and fluorescent dye solution
Authors: Syed Rafeeq , Uiterwaal Cornelis J. G. J. 
Published: October 2023

A novel characterization method to measure the pulse duration of ultrafast near-IR pulses is introduced, which uses simple tabletop optics, is relatively inexpensive, and is expected to work in a broad wavelength range. Our diagnostic tool quantitatively characterizes the laser pulse duration of any near-IR wavelength assuming a Gaussian pulse shape with a linear chirp. We negatively prechirp near-IR pulses with a home-built broadband pulse compressor (BPC) and send this prechirped beam through a cell filled with a low-molar solution of a fluorescent dye in a liquid. After two-photon absorption, this dye fluoresces in the visible, and we record this visible signal as a function of the propagation distance in the liquid cell. We calibrate the group velocity dispersion (GVD) of our home-built BPC device against the known GVD of the compressor of our 800 nm laser and confirm this value using geometric considerations. Now knowing the GVD of BPC and the recorded visible signal for various amounts of negative chirp, let us extract the smallest pulse duration of the near-IR pulse from this visible signal. As a useful corollary, our analysis also enables the direct measurement of the GVD for liquids and the indirect measurement of the absorption coefficient for liquids in the near-IR range, in contrast to indirect GVD measurements that rely on methods such as the double derivative of the refractive index.
Learning a simulation-based visual policy for real-world peg in unseen holes

Published: October 2023

This paper proposes a learning-based visual peg-in-hole that enables training with several shapes in simulation and adapting to arbitrary unseen shapes in the real world with minimal sim-to-real cost. The core idea is to decouple the generalization of the sensory-motor policy from the design of a fast-adaptable perception module and a simulated generic policy module. The framework consists of a segmentation network (SN), a virtual sensor network (VSN), and a controller network (CN). Concretely, the VSN is trained to measure the pose of the unseen shape from a segmented image. After that, given the shape-agnostic pose measurement, the CN is trained to achieve a generic peg-in-hole. Finally, when applying to real unseen holes, we only have to fine-tune the SN required by the simulated VSN + CN. To further minimize the transfer cost, we propose to automatically collect and annotate the data for the SN after one-minute human teaching. Simulated and real-world results are presented under the configuration of eye-to/in-hand. An electric vehicle charging system with the proposed policy inside achieves a 10/10 success rate in 2–3 s, using only hundreds of auto-labeled samples for the SN transfer.
Leaf water relations and osmotic adjustment of Canada Western Red Spring wheat cultivars subjected to drought
Authors: Sharma Gopal , Brar Gurcharn S. , Knipfer Thorsten 
Published: October 2023

For wheat (Triticum aestivum), sustained crop yield at limited soil water availability has been linked to osmotic adjustment (OA) – a physiological mechanism that aids maintenance of leaf hydration status, turgor (P) and growth. ‘Canada Western Red Spring’ (CWRS) wheat cultivars are typically grown in rainfed areas with milder climates, but ongoing climate change is increasesing the frequency and intensity of drought events. The overarching goal of this study was to elucidate if commercially used CWRS cultivars (‘Superb’, ‘Stettler’, ‘AAC Viewfield’) have the ability for leaf OA. Measurements of leaf water relation parameters (water potential, Ψ; solute potential, Ψs; stomatal conductance, gs; relative water content, RWC) showed that all three cultivars reached zero P (= Ψ – Ψs) at a leaf Ψ of −1.1 MPa. Prior to that, P maintenance in ‘Superb’ and ‘AAC Viewfield’ was associated with a significant reduction in leaf Ψs and OA contributed 0.53 MPa (‘Superb’) and 0.73 MPa (‘AAC Viewfield’). Our data analyses provided no support for the existence of OA in ‘Stettler’. Under water deficit, leaf gs was significantly higher in ‘AAC Viewfield’ compared to ‘Stettler’; it was intermediate in ‘Superb’. Together, drought tolerance in CWRS wheat cultivars is most likely linked to the degree of OA.
Winding real and order-parameter spaces via lump solitons of spinor BEC on sphere
Authors: He Yan , Chien Chih-Chun 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The three condensate wavefunctions of a F = 1 spinor Bose–Einstein condensate on a spherical shell can map the real space to the order-parameter space that also has a spherical geometry, giving rise to topological excitations called lump solitons. The homotopy of the mapping endows the lump solitons with quantized winding numbers counting the wrapping between the two spaces. We present several lump-soliton solutions to the nonlinear coupled equations minimizing the energy functional. The energies of the lump solitons with different winding numbers indicate coexistence of lumps with different winding numbers and a lack of advantage to break a higher-winding lump soliton into multiple lower-winding ones. Possible implications are discussed since the predictions are testable in cold-atom experiments.
