Exploring the Experiences of LGBTQ+ Early Childhood Educators: Navigating and Challenging Heteronormativity in Childcare Settings
Authors: Lim Harny Chan 
Published: February 2024

<p> </p>
<p>This qualitative study explored the childcare experiences of 8 LGBTQ+ early childhood educators in Ontario, Canada. Semi-structured online interviews were conducted through a narrative inquiry-based strategy that allowed participants to share stories, experiences and opinions that informed the research question. Through a queer theoretical framework, with intersectionality in mind, analysis of the findings reminded us that the identities of LGBTQ+ early childhood educators are still being challenged and oppressed within the heteronormative spaces of childcare. How participants navigated their gender identity and sexual orientation was also influenced by other aspects of identity that included disability, mental health status, culture, race, and religion. Recommendations for compulsory anti-bias training were voiced by the participants and the researcher as the next step in moving LGBTQ+ inclusive practices within childcare settings forward. Future research that utilizes queer theory should also take on an intersectional approach in understanding queer lives.</p>
Re-Queering the Already Queer for Homonationalist Citizenry? A Dialogical Encounter with my Other in the Final Hunger Games in a Settler Colony
Authors: Kulatilake Ranjith 
Published: February 2024

<p>Employing critical autoethnography, I meet my other to explore how I am implicated in the dispossession of Indigenous Peoples by my contradictory roles as a disruptor and facilitator of settler-colonialism through my activisms and frontline work with LGBTQ+ refugees. Their resettlement process is termed ‘re-queering’, of their already queer bodies, through state mechanisms. Re-queering projects them into the exploitative market as docile homonationalists. This process fortifies Canada as a ‘safe haven’ and legitimizes settler-colonialism. </p>
<p>Based on my experiences of racism and homophobia and my work, I critique how capitalism puts us to work. All our actions – including queer rights movements based on identity politics – are transformed into ventures designed to maximize profit. Thus, situating themselves on the stolen land, settlers much connect with movements of Indigenous sovereignty. Explaining social work’s parasitical dependence on cis-heteropatriarchy and capitalism, I argue for abolitionist futurities that envisage a world beyond capitalism.</p>

IntroductionNational representative estimates on in-hospital delirium after acute ischemic stroke are not well established and there is limited data on the impact of delirium on clinical outcomes following mechanical thrombectomy. We evaluated risk factors for delirium and the impact on outcomes following mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.MethodsThis is a retrospective study of patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke at a single tertiary comprehensive stroke center between April 2011 and December 2019. Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit. Patient characteristics, comorbidities, laboratory data, elapsed times, tissue plasminogen activator use, duration of the procedure, type of anesthesia, National Institute of Health stroke scores (NIHSS), sedation scores, reperfusion grades, complications, length of hospital stay, discharge disposition, and 90-day mortality were evaluated.ResultsFive hundred and two patients were evaluated, and post-procedural delirium was identified in 24/467 (5.1%) patients. Thirty-five patients could not be assessed for delirium due to excessive sedation. The incidence of delirium in white vs. non-white patients &lt;65 years was 5/137 (3.6%) compared to 0/91 (0%), and 7/176 (4.0%) compared to 12/63 (19%) in patients ≥65 years, P = 0.006. Bias reduction multi-variable analysis identified low postprocedural hemoglobin level odds ratio of 0.76 (95% CI 0.61–0.92, P = 0.006), greater age (odds ratio 1.04, 95% CI 1.01–1.009, P = 0.024), and non-white race odds ratio of 2.52 (95% CI 1.06–6.38, P = 0.030) as factors associated with delirium [Brier score = 0.045, C-index = 0.800, and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) = 174]. General anesthesia was not associated with an increased delirium risk. NIHSS at 24 and 48 h and discharge, length of stay, and 90-day mortality were not different between delirium and no-delirium groups. Delirium patients had a reduced odds ratio of 0.13 (05% CI 0.01–1.00, P = 0.02) for home discharge.DiscussionDelirium following mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke primarily affected older patients and was associated with reduced odds of home discharge following hospitalization. Changes in NIHSS during hospitalization and 90-day mortality were not adversely affected by the presence of delirium. General anesthesia was not associated with an increased delirium risk following mechanical thrombectomy.

Published: February 2024

BackgroundMalaria has always been a serious infectious disease prevalent in the world. Antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine and artemisinin have been the main compounds used to treat malaria. However, the massive use of this type of drugs accelerates the evolution and spread of malaria parasites, leading to the development of resistance. A large number of related data have been published by researchers in recent years. CiteSpace software has gained popularity among us researchers in recent years, because of its ability to help us obtain the core information we want in a mass of articles. In order to analyze the hotspots and develop trends in this field through visual analysis, this study used CiteSpace software to summarize the available data in the literature to provide insights.MethodRelevant literature was collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) from 1 January 2015 to 29 March 2023. CiteSpace software and Microsoft Excel were used to analyze and present the data, respectively.ResultsA total of 2,561 literatures were retrieved and 2,559 literatures were included in the analysis after the removal of duplicates. An irrefutable witness of the ever-growing interest in the topic of antimalarial drug resistance could be expressed by the exponentially increased number of publications and related citations from 2015 to 2022, and its sustained growth trend by 2023. During the past 7 years, USA, Oxford University, and David A Fidock are the country, institution, and author with the most publications in this field of research, respectively. We focused on the references and keywords from literature and found that the research and development of new drugs is the newest hotspot in this field. A growing number of scientists are devoted to finding new antimalarial drugs.ConclusionThis study is the first visual metrological analysis of antimalarial drug resistance, using bibliometric methods. As a baseline information, it is important to analyze research output published globally on antimalarial drug resistance. In order to better understand the current research situation and future research plan agenda, such baseline data are needed accordingly.

Published: February 2024

IntroductionGamification can support the practical application of Inclusive Teaching. However, gamification literature reviews to implement Inclusive Teaching are scarce or not existent. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review of gamification literature reviews to identify what themes are covered and specifically if Inclusive Teaching has been explored.MethodThe scoping literature review comprises network and content analyses of gamification literature reviews retrieved from the Web of Science. We analyzed a multimode network of papers and keywords and used their eigenvector centrality to identify themes. The content analysis comprised of a human and automatic tagging process to identify each paper’s discipline/context.ResultsWe mapped the themes explored in 125 gamification literature reviews to answer our first research question, what are the areas of knowledge covered by gamification literature reviews? The central topic is gamification and education to increase motivation, followed by gamification itself and understanding the implementation of gamification in various contexts. We identified 12 contexts and the top five frequent were Education, Business, Gamification, and Political Science. From the year-by-year analysis, we separated the themes into four periods: beginning (2014–2015), understanding (2016–2017), focus 2018 and focus and emergence (2019–2022). Regarding our second research question, how is the topic of Inclusive Teaching explored in gamification literature reviews? We did not find literature reviews about gamification to support Inclusive Teaching in the existing dataset.DiscussionWe report on the benefits of organizing central keywords by quartiles and using multimode networks to support scoping reviews; and disadvantages and advantages of using literature reviews as data sources for scoping reviews. We invite researchers to create more gamification literature reviews, to investigate gamification ethics in the light of recent technological developments such as generative models, and to reconnect gamification to the game design elements part of its definition, which goes beyond game elements.

PurposePapillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has grown rapidly in prevalence over the past few decades, and central neck lymph node metastasis (CNLNM) is associated with poor prognoses. However, whether to carry out preventive central neck lymph node dissection (CNLND) is still controversial. We aimed to construct a prediction model of CNLNM to facilitate making clinical surgical regimens.MethodsA total of 691 patients with PTC between November 2018 and December 2021 were included in our study. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on basic information and clinicopathological characteristics, as well as ultrasound characteristics (American College of Radiology (ACR) scores). The prediction model was constructed and performed using a nomogram, and then discriminability, calibrations, and clinical applicability were evaluated.ResultsFive variables, namely, male, age &gt;55 years, clinical lymph node positivity, tumor size ≥1 cm, and ACR scores ≥6, were independent predictors of CNLNM in the multivariate analysis, which were eventually included to construct a nomogram model. The area under the curve (AUC) of the model was 0.717, demonstrating great discriminability. A calibration curve was developed to validate the calibration of the present model by bootstrap resampling, which indicated that the predicted and actual values were in good agreement and had no differentiation from the ideal model. The decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated that the prediction model has good clinical applicability.ConclusionsOur non-invasive prediction model combines ACR scores with clinicopathological features presented through nomogram and has shown good performance and application prospects for the prediction of CNLNM in PTCs.

ObjectivesTo explore the preoperative high-risk clinical factors for contralateral medium-volume central lymph node metastasis (conMVCLNM) in unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma (uPTC) and the indications for dissection of contralateral central lymph nodes (conCLN).MethodsClinical and pathological data of 204 uPTC patients who underwent thyroid surgery at the Hangzhou First People’s Hospital from September 2010 to October 2022 were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the independent risk factors for contralateral central lymph node metastasis (conCLNM) and conMVCLNM in uPTC patients based on the preoperative clinical data. Predictive models for conCLNM and conMVCLNM were constructed using logistic regression analyses and validated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, concordance index (C-index), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).ResultsUnivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that gender (P &lt; 0.001), age (P &lt; 0.001), tumor diameter (P &lt; 0.001), and multifocality (P = 0.008) were independent risk factors for conCLNM in uPTC patients. Gender(P= 0.026), age (P = 0.010), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (P =0.003), and tumor diameter (P = 0.036) were independent risk factors for conMVCLNM in uPTC patients. A predictive model was established to assess the risk of conCLNM and conMVCLNM, with ROC curve areas of 0.836 and 0.845, respectively. The C-index, the calibration curve, and DCA demonstrated that the model had good diagnostic value.ConclusionGender, age, tumor diameter, and multifocality are high-risk factors for conCLNM in uPTC patients. Gender, age, tumor diameter, and PLR are high-risk factors for conMVCLNM in uPTC patients, and preventive conCLN dissection should be performed.

Background: Hearing loss (HL) is an impairment of auditory function with identified genetic forms that can be syndromic (30%) or non-syndromic (70%). HL is genetically heterogeneous, with more than 1,000 variants across 150 causative genes identified to date. The genetic diagnostic rate varies significantly depending on the population being tested. Countries with a considerably high rate of consanguinity provide a unique resource for studying rare forms of recessive HL. In this study, we identified genetic variants associated with bilateral sensorineural HL (SNHL) using whole-exome sequencing (WES) in 11 families residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).Results: We established the molecular diagnosis in six probands, with six different pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in the genes MYO15A, SLC26A4, and GJB2. One novel nonsense variant, MYO15A:p.Tyr1962Ter*, was identified in a homozygous state in one family, which has not been reported in any public database. SLC26A4 and GJB2 were found to be the most frequently associated genes in this study. In addition, six variants of uncertain significance (VUS) were detected in five probands in the genes CDH23, COL11A1, ADGRV1, NLRP3, and GDF6. In total, 12 variants were observed in eight genes. Among these variants, eight missense variants (66.7%), three nonsense variants (25.0%), and one frameshift (8.3%) were identified. The overall diagnostic rate of this study was 54.5%. Approximately 45.5% of the patients in this study came from consanguineous families.Conclusion: Understanding the genetic basis of HL provides insight for the clinical diagnosis of hearing impairment cases through the utilization of next-generation sequencing (NGS). Our findings contribute to the knowledge of the heterogeneous genetic profile of HL, especially in a population with a high rate of consanguineous marriage in the Arab population.

ObjectiveTo analyze and compare the temporal trends in the incidence of anisometropia among Chinese school-aged children both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to investigate the impact of the pandemic on the incidence of anisometropia.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study comprising six distinct and independent longitudinal cohorts, each including children aged 6 to 13 years who visited the Joint Shantou International Eye Center between January 2010 and December 2021. Children were grouped into cohorts based on the year of their first eye clinic visit: 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, or 2020. Only children without anisometropia at initial visits, followed for 18 ± 6 months, were included. The cumulative incidence and risk factors of anisometropia were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier estimation and Cox proportional hazards regression models. Subgroup analyses were performed based on sex, age groups, initial refractive error status, and initial interocular SE difference. Anisometropic children were further categorized into myopic and non-myopic, with subsequent subgroup analyses conducted.ResultsOf 11,235 children were recruited from six cohorts (2010: n = 1,366; 2012: n = 1,708; 2014: n = 1,896; 2016: n = 2,354; 2018: n = 2,514; 2020: n = 1,397), 869 children developed anisometropia during a mean follow-up of 17.5 ± 3.7 months. After adjustment of confounding factors, we found that the risk of anisometropia remained relatively stable before 2020 but significantly increased in the 2020 cohort (adjusted HR 2.93, 95% CI 2.23 to 3.86; p &lt; 0.001). This trend persisted in studies of spherical anisometropia (adjusted HR 2.52, 95% CI 1.60 to 3.97; p &lt; 0.001) and cylindrical anisometropia (adjusted HR 2.91, 95% CI 1.69 to 3.62; p &lt; 0.001). Older age and a greater initial difference in SE between the two eyes were also significantly associated with a higher risk of developing anisometropia (p &lt; 0.001). Subgroup analyses consistently showed increased risk in the 2020 cohort.ConclusionThis study reveals a concerning rise in anisometropia incidence among Chinese school-aged children during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings highlight the worrisome rise in anisometropia risk during the COVID-19 pandemic and emphasize the importance of early detection and management to safeguard children’s visual health.
Motor imagery in autism: a systematic review
Authors: Gowen Emma , Edmonds Eve , Poliakoff Ellen 
Published: February 2024

IntroductionMotor Imagery (MI) is when an individual imagines performing an action without physically executing that action and is thought to involve similar neural processes used for execution of physical movement. As motor coordination difficulties are common in autistic individuals it is possible that these may affect MI ability. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the current knowledge around MI ability in autistic individuals.MethodsA systematic search was conducted for articles published before September 2023, following PRISMA guidance. Search engines were PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Wiley Online Library and PsyArXiv. Inclusion criteria included: (a) Original peer-reviewed and pre-print publications; (b) Autistic and a non-autistic group (c) Implicit or explicit imagery tasks (d) Behavioral, neurophysiological or self-rating measures, (e) Written in the English language. Exclusion criteria were (a) Articles only about MI or autism (b) Articles where the autism data is not presented separately (c) Articles on action observation, recognition or imitation only (d) Review articles. A narrative synthesis of the evidence was conducted.ResultsSixteen studies across fourteen articles were included. Tasks were divided into implicit (unconscious) or explicit (conscious) MI. The implicit tasks used either hand (6) or body (4) rotation tasks. Explicit tasks consisted of perspective taking tasks (3), a questionnaire (1) and explicit instructions to imagine performing a movement (2). A MI strategy was apparent for the hand rotation task in autistic children, although may have been more challenging. Evidence was mixed and inconclusive for the remaining task types due to the varied range of different tasks and, measures conducted and design limitations. Further limitations included a sex bias toward males and the hand rotation task only being conducted in children.DiscussionThere is currently an incomplete understanding of MI ability in autistic individuals. The field would benefit from a battery of fully described implicit and explicit MI tasks, conducted across the same groups of autistic children and adults. Improved knowledge around MI in autistic individuals is important for understanding whether MI techniques may benefit motor coordination in some autistic people.
