Authors: Salokangas Katri , Vehviläinen Sanna , Tusa Nina , Malinen Anita , Mäntyselkä Pekka 
Published: February 2025

Introduction:
Supervising in the workplace plays a key role in increasing the skills of the trainee. The shift to competence-based medical education requires both clinical expertise and pedagogical skills from the supervisor. These are distinct types of expertise. We know only a little of how competencies of supervising develop in medical education. The aim of our study is to find out what kind of professional agency in supervision general practitioners describes before their supervisor training. Professional agency refers to the individual's skills, willingness, ability, and responsibility to act with others in the professional context.

Methods:
Our participants wrote a presentation of themselves before starting a supervisor training module. We studied these texts with narrative positioning analysis to examine who they are as supervisors, that is, the kind of professional agency they describe.

Results:
We found three types of descriptions of professional agency: traditional master-apprenticeship supervision, clinical skills supervising with a collegial relationship, and process-oriented dialogical supervision. Supervising is mostly described as supervising the trainee on clinical skills and participants have a will to be a good supervisor, but they also express uncertainty of achieving this goal.

Conclusion:
The variation in general practice supervisors' agency and pedagogical skills poses challenges for training providers in how to tailor the training to suit the best to participants with different skills. However, it gives an excellent opportunity for fruitful peer-to-peer learning. With our findings, it is possible to further develop supervisor training.

Published: February 2025

Summary:
Posttracheostomy wound allows for spontaneous closure of the fistula once it is no longer needed. However, a surgical closure is required when closure does not occur spontaneously. To date, only cases involving patients with spontaneous respiration have been reported. Here, we report successful treatment of a 29-year-old man with extensive tracheal wall tissue defects after tracheostomy, which allowed for the continuation of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) therapy. In this case, the patient presented with loss of spontaneous breathing resulting due to a cervical 4 (C4)-level spinal cord injury. After initial closure of the tracheostomy site, the patient developed an anterior neck abscess and a tracheocutaneous fistula associated with ongoing NPPV therapy. Multiple attempts to close the tracheostomy site resulted in extensive tracheal cartilage defects. In this case, we reconstructed the tracheal wall and neck soft tissue using a clavicle-attached pedicled sternocleidomastoid flap to provide a strong repair of the defect. As a result, the patient was able to continue noninvasive NPPV therapy, with no complications observed over the course of 8 years. This method for tracheal reconstruction provides the necessary strength to withstand NPPV therapy and could be recommended as an effective option in similar cases.

Abstract
Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) causes significant health loss worldwide and is one of the major public health issues of our time. Cigarette smoking is an independent risk factor of CMP. The present study examined the potential mediating role of 2 subproducts of cigarette smoke, acrylamide and cadmium, individually and combined, on the association between cigarette smoking and CMP, using the Inverse Odds Ratio Weighting (IORW) method. Analyses were conducted on data from 3670 adults who participated to National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 2003 to 2004. When smoking was measured with serum cotinine levels, there was an association of moderate and heavy smoking {adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR]>30 ng/mL = 1.99 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.44-2.74)} with CMP, but no association between light smoking and CMP (aOR1-30 ng/mL = 1.17 [95% CI: 0.75-1.80]) as compared to nonsmoking. Small indirect effects were identified through acrylamide (aOR = 1.24 [95% CI: 0.96-1.61]) and cadmium (aOR = 1.56 [95% CI: 0.92-2.63]) only among moderate and heavy smokers. When both biomarkers were considered together, their indirect effect was larger (aOR = 2.07 [95% CI: 1.32-3.23]). These results suggest that the association between cigarette smoking and CMP is mediated by acrylamide and cadmium and that these substances, also present in food and the environment, may serve as biomarkers of CMP.

Published: February 2025

Introduction:
Screening tests like colonoscopy can prevent colorectal cancer (CRC), yet their effectiveness is often questioned. The Nordic-European Initiative on Colorectal Cancer (NordICC) trial demonstrated that colonoscopy significantly reduces CRC incidence and mortality in per-protocol analysis. However, media coverage of the trial often focused on intention-to-screen findings that showed no change in mortality, possibly contributing to public confusion about colonoscopy benefits. This study aimed to assess whether such media articles undermined public perception and intent to undergo colonoscopic screening.

Methods:
We recruited a US nationally representative sample of unscreened adults aged 45 to 75 years at average CRC risk. Respondents were randomized 1:1 to read either a low-quality or high-quality article on NordICC, as rated by a panel of gastroenterologists. Before and after reading their article, participants reported whether they plan to be screened for CRC with a colonoscopy. Our primary outcome was a negative change in intent to undergo colonoscopic screening.

Results:
Among the 2013 participants who completed the survey, 1531 (76.1%) stated they planned to undergo colonoscopy or were undecided before reading the article. After reading the media report, 90 (12.0%) people in the low-quality article arm no longer planned to undergo colonoscopy versus 73 (9.3%) in the high-quality article arm; the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.08).

Discussion:
A widely promulgated article about NordICC rated as low-quality did not differentially impact attitudes towards colonoscopic CRC screening compared with another mainstream article rated as high-quality. Our study provides reassurance that most people will not summarily change health behaviors after reading a single article, regardless of perceived accuracy.

Published: February 2025

Background and objectives:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a cutting-edge technology affecting all eras of science and technology and medicine, which is not an exception. Medical writings play a significant role in improving health standard and patient outcomes owing to their global dissemination. AI has widely affected medical writings. This study aims to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practices among the doctors of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical writings. Medial writings cover a broad horizon of writings ranging from simple medical reports and prescription and extending to impactful article writings and evidence-based research papers as well as figure and graph generation for these papers using the input data.

Materials and methods:
It is a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study involving convenience non-probability sampling. The questionnaire contained a total of 29 items with subsequent portions of knowledge assessment containing 11 items, the attitude assessment comprised 10 items, and the practice assessment involved eight items. Being the first study of its kind, a conservational approach was adopted for sample size determination, and initially, the calculated sample was 385 using an online sample size calculator. The final sample size adopted was 500 to avoid any discrepancies owing to small sample size. The study setting was KPK, a province of Pakistan, and the study population was the medical doctors practicing in KPK. SPSS 28 was used for data analysis. Frequency, percentage, correlation, and regression analysis were used.

Results:
Out of 500 respondents, 135 were females and 365 were males. The overall data suggest a high level of knowledge regarding AI in medicine (91.2%). The use of AI was about 30.6%, highlighting a gap that needs to be addressed. The majority of doctors agreed on the impact of AI in medical writing (92.5%), indicating a positive attitude toward promotion within the community. The Pearson coefficient showed statistically significant values. Regression analysis with P-value < 0.001 also supported the hypothesis.

Conclusion:
The study revealed a positive perception of AI in medical writing, recognizing its potential for efficiency and quality improvement. However, respondents expressed concerns about AI authorship, ethics, privacy, and bias, leading to low adoption. The findings underscore the necessity for education, training, and clear guidelines to responsibly integrate AI into medical writing, ensuring ethical use and advancing the field with informed practices.

Published: February 2025

Introduction:
Nerve decompression surgery for occipital neuralgia (ON) of the lesser occipital nerve (LON) is oftentimes performed in combination with treatment of the greater and third occipital nerves (GON and TON). The traditional surgical approach requires multiple separate incisions. This study describes combined GON/LON approach through a single vertical midline incision and reports on the postoperative outcomes.

Methods:
Among 1713 patients who were screened for nerve decompression surgery between 2011 and 2023, those who underwent combined GON/LON decompression for treatment of ON were identified retrospectively. Patients who underwent LON decompression through the vertical midline incision were compared to those who underwent LON decompression through a separate incision. Outcomes included postoperative complications, LON reoperation, pain frequency (days/month), intensity (scale 0-10), duration (hours), and Migraine Head Index (MHI) at final follow-up.

Results:
A total of 124 patients underwent 184 combined GON/LON surgeries. LON decompression was performed through a midline incision in 91 (73.4%) patients and through a separate incision in 33 (26.6%). LON reoperation rates for pain recurrence were higher in the separate incision group as compared to the midline incision group (15.2% versus 4.4%, p<0.05). At a median follow-up of 17.9 months after the last intervention, reductions in pain frequency, intensity, duration and MHI were comparable between both techniques (p>0.05). Postoperative complications were not significantly different between both groups (p>0.05).

Conclusion:
During combined GON/LON surgery, approaching the LON through the midline incision is feasible and allows for safe and effective LON decompression or neurectomy, with lower reoperation rates for recurrent pain.

Published: February 2025

SummaryFanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease caused by the loss of function of one of the 22 associated genes and is characterized by bone marrow failure, cancer predisposition, and developmental defects. The proteins encoded by these genes (FA proteins) mainly function in DNA damage response and repair. Although FA deficiency has multiple effects on the regulation of lipid metabolism, the molecular function of FA proteins in the context of FA pathology remains unclear. In the present study, we demonstrated that FANCD2, a key component of FA proteins, interacts with lipid metabolism-related factors and that FANCD2 deficiency downregulates the cellular levels of fatty acids. Moreover, a portion of FANCD2 is localized to nuclear lipid droplets in response to oleic acid treatment. These subcellular dynamics are independent of FANCD2 monoubiquitination, which is essential for the DNA damage response. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that FANCD2 responds to not only DNA damage but also oleic acid exposure, providing insights into the pathogenesis of lipid dysregulation in FA.
Trimeson state
B¯B¯*B¯*
Authors: Deng Cheng-Rong , An Chun-Sheng 
Published: February 2025

We systematically explore the trimeson states B¯B¯*B¯* with various isospin-spin configurations in the quark model by solving exactly the six-body Schrödinger equations with the Gaussian expansion method. The configuration [[B¯B¯*]01B¯*]120 is not only approximately 10.2 MeV lower than the threshold of its constituent particles but also about 0.2 MeV below that of the compact tetraquark state [B¯B¯*]01 and B¯*. This configuration manifests a loose two-body bound state composed of [B¯B¯*]01 and B¯*, with a size of around 4.75 fm. In contrast, the configurations [[B¯B¯*]11B¯*]120, [B¯[B¯*B¯*]10]120, and [[B¯B¯*]11B¯*]121 exhibit binding energies of less than 1 MeV relative to their constituent particles, establishing a loose three-meson bound state. After coupling three configurations with 120−, the trimeson state with 120− remains a loosely two-body bound state with a binding energy around 1.5 MeV and a huge size of 2.20 fm, in which the configuration [[B¯B¯*]01B¯*]120 is dominant, contributing 80% to the overall probability. Among the four bound configurations, the σ-meson exchange plays a decisive role. The meson pair [B¯B¯*]01, resembling the short-range strong correlated p−n pair in nuclear physics, prevails over other types of meson pairs. The meson pair [B¯B¯*]01 not only contributes to the binding mechanisms but also influences the spatial structures of those stable trimeson configurations.

Enhancing events in neutrino telescopes through deep-learning-driven superresolution
Authors: Yu Felix J. , Kamp Nicholas , Argüelles Carlos A. 
Published: February 2025

Recent discoveries by neutrino telescopes, such as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, relied extensively on machine learning (ML) tools to infer physical quantities from the raw photon hits detected. Neutrino telescope reconstruction algorithms are limited by the sparse sampling of photons by the optical modules due to the relatively large spacing (10–100 m) between them. In this Letter, we propose a novel technique that learns photon transport through the detector medium through the use of deep-learning-driven superresolution of data events. These “improved” events can then be reconstructed using traditional or ML techniques, resulting in improved resolution. Our strategy arranges additional “virtual” optical modules within an existing detector geometry and trains a convolutional neural network to predict the hits on these virtual optical modules. We show that this technique improves the angular reconstruction of muons in a generic ice-based neutrino telescope. Our results readily extend to water-based neutrino telescopes and other event morphologies.

PurposeHempcrete has the potential to reduce both CO2 emissions and energy usage in buildings. Hempcrete has a high sound absorption capacity, excellent moisture regulator and outstanding thermal insulation properties. However, hempcrete traditionally uses lime-based binders, which are carbon-intensive materials. The low-carbon binders to increase the sustainability of hempcrete are the current research gap. Geopolymer binders are low-carbon binders composed of aluminosilicate precursors dissolved in a high alkalinity solution. This study investigated the suitability of calcined clay and ground granulated blast furnace slag geopolymer binder as a low-carbon binder for hempcrete applications.Design/methodology/approachTwo types of hemp hurds with different water absorption capacity and particle size distributions were used. Hempcrete properties tested were compressive strength, bulk density, sound absorption coefficient by a two-microphone impedance tube and thermal conductivity by a Hot Disk system.FindingsThe particle size distribution and water absorption capacity of hemp hurds did not affect the compressive strength of hempcrete when following a mixing procedure, ensuring the hurds in a saturated surface dry condition. The geopolymer hempcrete achieved a compressive strength about four times higher than the reference hydrated lime hempcrete. All hempcrete specimens achieved outstanding acoustic performance. The increase in bulk density led to the decrease in the maximum sound absorption coefficient. The geopolymer hempcrete achieved the lowest thermal conductivity.Originality/valueThe outcomes of this paper reveal that the low-carbon geopolymer binder appears to be a promising option for manufacturing hempcrete, achieving significantly higher compressive strength and lower thermal conductivity than the reference hydrated lime-based hempcrete.

The effects of roasting versus toasting brand-to-brand dialogues on consumer perceptions
Authors: Dang Anh , Bhattarai Ashok , Saavedra Torres Jose 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This study aims to investigate how two different types of brand-to-brand dialogues – “roasting” versus “toasting” – impact consumers’ brand perceptions, particularly perceived entertainment, and influence brand attitudes.

Design/methodology/approach
The research design comprises four studies. The preliminary study involves Web scraping to gauge consumer perception about the two communication approaches followed by two well-known brands. Study 1 involves an online experiment to compare these communication types within each brand tested in the pilot study and examines the mediation effect of perceived entertainment. Study 2, also an online experiment, investigates the role of message neutralization, demonstrating that “roasting” can be acceptable when the humor is neutralized. Study 3 further tests the effects of neutralized “roasting” at different levels of brand familiarity and personality.

Findings
Roasting can lead to more favorable consumer perceptions than toasting. The effect can be explained by roasting’s higher level of perceived entertainment. However, this positive outcome is contingent on the successful neutralization of the aggressive humor in the “roasting” messages. When it comes to brand familiarity and personality, familiar brands benefit more from neutralized “roasting,” whereas brand personality does not have a strong influence.

Research limitations/implications
The findings suggest that “roasting” can be effective when messages are neutralized, and “toasting” works best when spontaneous and genuine. It highlights how brand familiarity and personality influence consumer reactions, thus, offering strategic insights for both established and lesser-known brands. The study also prompts further research to examine other brand traits, cultural factors and behavioral dimensions in brand-to-brand dialogue, signifying the complexity and richness of this growing research area.

Practical implications
This study advises lesser-known brands to adopt “toasting” strategies to build a positive image, while established brands can try “roasting,” ensuring message neutrality to avoid negativity. The research emphasizes the role of brand familiarity and personality in shaping brand dialogues. Marketers must consider these to make humor strategies effective and bolster positive brand image.

Originality/value
This research uniquely examines message neutralization through contextual cues as a strategy brands can use to aid their sensitive dialogues with others on social media. The findings provide new insights into how brands can use different types of messages in digital communications to attract consumers and ensure positive reception, offering valuable guidance for academics and practitioners in brand-to-brand dialogue.
