Preservice Training in Augmentative and Alternative Communication for Speech-Language Pathologists and Special Education Teachers: Prevalence and Preferences
Authors: Pitt Kevin M. , Brennan Sarah , Sauerwein Allison M. , Weissling Kristy 
Published: October 2023

Purpose:
Preservice training is an important step to provide augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) professionals with the skills needed to facilitate inclusion and AAC success. However, existing research has largely focused on evaluating the perspectives of speech-language pathology faculty regarding preservice AAC course design. Thus, identifying important teaching topics and pedagogical teaching strategies for AAC from the perspectives of practicing professionals may provide an avenue for bolstering effective AAC implementation.

Method:
A total of 67 speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and 330 special education teachers (SETs) in the state of Nebraska completed an online survey investigating the prevalence of preservice training in AAC, preferred teaching topics and strategies, and self-perceived levels of competency immediately following their preservice training in AAC.

Results:
The majority of SLPs (76.1%) and the minority of SETs (23.5%) indicated receiving a dedicated course in AAC. Participants reported a preference for active learning activities, or a mix of active and passive learning, although specific preferences slightly differed between SLPs and SETs. Participants also indicated a desire for the incorporation of individuals from different disciplines in their preservice coursework. However, strategies for facilitating interactive learning between disciplines require further study.

Conclusion:
Study findings corroborate and extend existing research and methods for preservice AAC delivery.

Cooperation: A Systematic Review of how to Enable Agent to Circumvent the Prisoner’s Dilemma
Authors: Pan Jiateng , Yoshikawa Atsushi , Yamamura Masayuki 
Published: October 2023

It is widely accepted that rational individuals are unable to create cooperation in a prisoner’s dilemma. However, in everyday life, cooperation, for example, during a fishing moratorium, can be observed frequently. Additionally, the appearance of cooperation in the prisoner’s dilemma can be seen in numerous simulation studies.
This paper reviews 31 simulation studies published between January 2017 and January 2023 in which agents can be observed in the results to improve cooperation in a prisoner’s dilemma.
The proposed methodologies were sorted into seven categories, including Bounded Rationality, Memory, Adaptive Strategy, Mood Model, Intrinsic Reward, Network Dynamics, and Altruistic Attribute. Based on their impacts, the effectiveness of these seven approaches was classified into three categories: generating cooperation, maintaining cooperation, and spreading cooperation.
This review is expected to be helpful for scholars conducting future research on multi-agent cooperation and irrational agent modeling.
Subsegmental Pulmonary Embolism
Authors: Baumgartner Christine , Tritschler Tobias , Aujesky Drahomir 
Published: October 2023

AbstractSubsegmental pulmonary embolism (SSPE) is increasingly diagnosed with the growing use and technological advancements of multidetector computed tomography pulmonary angiography. Its diagnosis is challenging, and some presumed SSPE may actually represent imaging artifacts. Indirect evidence and results from small observational studies suggest that SSPE may be more benign than more proximal pulmonary embolism, and may thus not always require treatment. Therefore, guidelines suggest to consider a management strategy without anticoagulation in selected patients with SSPE at low risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), in whom proximal deep vein thrombosis is excluded. Recently, a large prospective study among low-risk patients with SSPE who were left untreated showed a higher VTE recurrence risk than initially deemed acceptable by the investigators, and thus was prematurely interrupted after recruitment of 97% of the target population. However, the risk–benefit ratio of anticoagulation for low-risk patients with SSPE remains unclear, and results from randomized trials are needed to answer the question about their optimal management.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe study aimed to investigate the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries among
table tennis players and identify their associated risk factors. We conducted a
literature search in online databases using relevant search terms related to
“table tennis” and “injury”. To compare the rate
of injuries according to player-related variables, we extracted information on
sex, level of games, circumstances of injury, and duration of sport absence
after injury. Furthermore, we calculated the odds ratios based on the number of
injuries according to variables. Eight articles included 873 professional table
tennis players, revealing an overall musculoskeletal injury rate of 3.6%
(31 musculoskeletal injuries). The incidence was 10.0 injuries per 1,000 playing
hours (range, 0–27.0). The rate of musculoskeletal injuries for female
and male players were 3.2% and 3.8%, respectively, and those for
Summer Olympic Games, Asian Games, and domestic national games was 4.8%,
15.4%, and 0%, respectively. More than half (52%) of
injuries occurred during training, and most injuries (64%) were of a
nature that did not cause time loss. This review provides valuable information
about the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in table tennis competitions.
However, owing to the limitations of this study in identifying injury-related
risk factors, future studies analyzing comprehensive variables are required.

Published: October 2023

AbstractLoss of consciousness (LOC) during football games is associated with very high
mortality rates. In order to address football medical emergencies, in 2013 FIFA
implemented the “FIFA 11 steps to prevent sudden cardiac death” program and
distributed the FIFA Medical Emergency Bag. The purpose of this work was to
identify independent survival factors after LOC on the pitch and to investigate
the effectiveness of the FIFA initiatives. An internet search was performed to
identify football players suffering LOC on the pitch between 1990 and 2021. A
total of 268 cases could be identified and were dichotomized according to the
implementation date of the FIFA medical emergency bag. There was 55% mortality
after LOC, while cardiogenic LOC was more often (82% vs. 20%) fatal than
traumatic LOC. Mortality in developing countries was higher than in developed
countries. From the year 2013 survival improved significantly for both traumatic
and cardiogenic cases. The location of the LOC significantly influenced survival
(OR: 0.20 and p<0.001). LOC on the football field is associated with
increased mortality and requires separate monitoring based on a traumatic vs.
non-traumatic cause. FIFA initiatives significantly reduced mortality after LOC
but significant differences were identified between developed and developing
countries.

Abstract
Introduction Oral carcinoma has been reported at a substantial proportion in patients who never smoke and never drink. However, the proportion may vary by subsite and ethnicity.
Objective We aimed to determine the clinicopathological features of buccal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a Japanese population.
Methods We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients diagnosed with buccal SCC at our institution from September 2002 to November 2015. We reviewed the gender, age, tumor status, treatment, smoking, alcohol drinking, multiple primary cancers, and prognosis of the patients. The overall and cause-specific survival rates were calculated, and the effects of clinicopathological variables were assessed by univariate analysis. Furthermore, the cause of death was evaluated.
Results Among the 63 patients (men: 38; women: 25) included in the present study, 29 (46.0%) never smoked or drank. Women were almost 5 years older than men (p = 0.014). The number of women in the group who never smoked or drank was disproportionately higher than that of those in the smoker or drinker groups (p < 0.001). In total, 29 patients (46.0%) had 59 multiple primary cancers, including 26 oral cancers. Surgeries and radiotherapy were performed in 57 (90.5%) and 6 (9.5%) cases, respectively. The 5-year overall survival and disease-specific survival rates were 74.6 and 78.8%, respectively.
Conclusion Our study confirms that buccal SCC may develop in older adult Japanese patients, especially in women who have never smoked or drank. These patients could be at risk for second primary malignancy.

Authors: Yazici Demet , Cihan Mehmet Celalettin 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Introduction Tinnitus etiopathogenesis is still unclear and treatment options are controversial despite current advances in medicine.
Objectives To analyze the correlation between patients' symptom scores, systemic inflammation, and trombosis biomarkers.
Methods In this prospective study, we evaluated the degree of complaints of subjective tinnitus patients with the tinnitus severity index (TSI) and tinnitus handicap inventory (THI), and correlated these symptom scores with hematological parameters such as the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean thrombocyte volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW).
Results A total of 44 patients with subjective tinnitus, 25 (56.8%) men and 19 (43.2%) women, were included in this study. The mean age of the patients was 42.3 ± 14.8 years. When the correlation between TSI and NLR, PLR, PDW, and MPV values of the patients were analyzed, no statistically significant correlation was found between TSI, NLR, and PLR (p > 0.05). However, there was a statistically weak positive correlation between TSI, MPV, and PDW.(p < 0.05). When the correlation between THI and NLR, PLR, PDW, and MPV values of the patients were analyzed, no statistically significant correlation was found between THI, NLR, and PLR (p > 0.05). There was a statistically weak positive correlation between THI, MPV, and PDW (p < 0.05).
Conclusion We were unable to detect any relationship between systemic inflammation markers (NLR and PLR) and symptom scores, but a weakly positive correlation was observed between thrombosis markers (MPV and PDW) and symptom scores, and as the subclinical thrombosis markers elevated, so did the symptom scores.
Capsule Endoscopy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review
Authors: Pal Partha , Banerjee Rupa , Gupta Rajesh , Reddy Palle Manohar , Reddy D Nageshwar , Tandan Manu 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe role of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has evolved from small bowel to a panenteric evaluation tool over the past two decades. We systematically reviewed the techniques, applications, outcomes, and complications of VCE in IBD. A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, and Medline. All relevant original articles involving VCE in IBD were included from 2003 to July 2022. After screening 3,089 citations, finally 201 references were included. The diagnostic yield of VCE in suspected Crohn's disease (CD) was highly variable (6–80%) with excellent sensitivity (77–93%) and specificity (80–89%). The diagnostic yield in known CD was 52 to 88.3% leading to a change in management (26–75%) and disease reclassification with variable retention rates. VCE was superior to small bowel series, computed tomography (CT) and could be better than magnetic resonance enterography (MRE), especially for proximal and superficial lesions. Colon or panenteric VCE has strong correlation to ileo-colonoscopy (IC) and combined magnetic resonance imaging and IC, respectively. The VCE retention rate in CD is higher in known CD which significantly decreases after the negative patency capsule test or CT/MRE. VCE can identify lesions beyond the reach of IC in postoperative CD. Colon Capsule Endoscopy is a noninvasive monitoring tool in ulcerative colitis (UC) having a strong correlation with IC and may uncover small bowel involvement. VCE is specifically useful in IBD-unclassified (IBD-U) which can lead to the diagnosis of CD in 16.7 to 61.5%. Various scoring systems have been established and validated for small bowel CD (Lewis score and capsule endoscopy CD activity index—CECDAI), UC (capsule scoring of UC: Capsule Scoring of Ulcerative Colitis), panenteric evaluation (Capsule Endoscopy Crohn's Disease Activity Index, Elaikim score), and flare prediction (APEX score). Technological advances include double head, three-dimensional reconstruction, sampling system, panoramic view (344 and 360 degree lateral), and panenteric capsule. Artificial intelligence and software like TOP100 and Quickview can help reduce capsule reading time with excellent sensitivity and specificity. VCE in IBD has widespread application in suspected and known small bowel CD, monitoring of UC, postoperative CD, IBD-U, and for panenteric evaluation. Patency capsule testing helps to reduce retention rates significantly. Artificial intelligence and technical advances can help evolve this novel technology.

Authors: Shafiq Syed 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Objective Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is a chronic disorder of defecation presenting with bleed per rectum, mucorrhea, tenesmus, perianal discomfort, etc. We aim to report clinical, endoscopic, and histologic features of SRUS in patients who underwent either colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy at our center.
Materials and Methods We performed retrospective analysis of all patients diagnosed with SRUS on endoscopy and confirmed by histopathologic examination at our center between January 2010 and June 2022. Data retrieved included demographic details, clinical features along with endoscopic, and histopathological findings of SRUS patients.
Results The study included 132 patients with SRUS with mean (± standard deviation) age of 45 (± 20.6) years and male to female ratio of 1.5:1. While most of the patients presented with a combination of symptoms, the most common clinical presentation was bleeding per rectum (82%). Rectal ulcers, either single or multiple, were the predominant findings on endoscopy followed by polypoidal lesions. Histology showed fibromuscular obliteration and crypt distortion in all patients. Biofeedback training, lifestyle changes, and sucralfate enema were successful in about 87% of the patients at the end of 6 weeks and about 76% at the end of 12 weeks with surgery for rectal prolapse being performed in two of our patients.
Conclusion SRUS presents with a myriad of symptoms and requires a high index of suspicion by the treating physician(s). While the most common presenting symptom in our study was rectal bleed rectal bleed; ulcers, either solitary or multiple, ulcers, either solitary or multiple, were the commonest endoscopy findings. Endoscopic findings along with histopathology confirm the diagnosis.

Alkali antimonide semiconductor photocathodes provide a promising platform for the generation of high-brightness electron beams, which are necessary for the development of cutting-edge probes, including x-ray free electron lasers and ultrafast electron diffraction. Nonetheless, to harness the intrinsic brightness limits in these compounds, extrinsic degrading factors, including surface roughness and contamination, must be overcome. By exploring the growth of CsxSb thin films monitored by in situ electron diffraction, the conditions to reproducibly synthesize atomically smooth films of CsSb on 3C–SiC (100) and graphene-coated TiO2 (110) substrates are identified, and detailed structural, morphological, and electronic characterization is presented. These films combine high quantum efficiency in the visible (up to 1.2% at 400 nm), an easily accessible photoemission threshold of 566 nm, low surface roughness (down to 600 pm on a 1 μm scale), and a robustness against oxidation up to 15 times greater than Cs3Sb. These properties lead us to suggest that CsSb has the potential to operate as an alternative to Cs3Sb in electron source applications where the demands of the vacuum environment might otherwise preclude the use of traditional alkali antimonides.

Published: October 2023

The high proclivity of x rays to destabilize and distort molecular structures has been previously utilized in the synthesis of novel compounds. Here, we show that x-ray induced decomposition of cadmium oxalate induces chemical and structural transformations only at 0.5 and 1 GPa. Using x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, the synthesized product is identified as cadmium carbonate with cadmium oxalate remnants, which is stable under ambient conditions. At ambient and &gt;1 GPa pressures, only degradation of the electronic density distribution is observed. The transformation kinetics are examined in terms of Avrami’s model, which demonstrates that despite the necessity of high pressure for efficient x-ray induced synthesis of cadmium carbonate, the rate and geometry of structural synthesis in the 0.5–1 GPa pressure range do not depend on the applied pressure. In addition, the possible role of intermolecular distance and molecular mobility in transformation yield is also discussed. Our experimental results indicate that x-ray induced photochemical synthetic pathways can be modulated and optimized by specific parameter selection such as high pressure.

Abstract
Using a high-resolution electron monochromator, we studied the formation of (H2O)
n

⩽19
− cluster ions upon collisions of free low-energy electrons with water clusters embedded in helium droplets. The anion efficiency curves as a function of the initial electron energy were measured for the cluster sizes n = 2–8, 10, 13, 16, and 19. The present experimental results show that the shape of the resonance yields is dependent on the size of the water cluster anion. The results are discussed in terms of the different electron states available for the excess electron from a linear cluster structure to three-dimensional cluster structures as the number of water molecules within the cluster increases.
Planar and tunable quantum state transfer in a splicing Y-junction Su–Schrieffer–Heeger chain
Authors: Zheng Li-Na , Wang Hong-Fu , Yi Xuexi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We present a feasible scheme to implement a planar and tunable quantum state transfer (QST) via topologically protected zero-energy mode in a splicing Y-junction Su–Schrieffer–Heeger (SSH) chain. The introduction of the elaborate nearest-neighbor (NN) hopping enables one to generate a topological interface at the central site of the Y-junction. By modulating the NN hopping adiabatically in the chain, the quantum state initially prepared at the central site can be simultaneously transferred to the three endpoints of the Y-junction with the equal/unequal probabilities. The planar distribution of QST is expected to realize a quantum router, whose function is to make the quantum information on the central site (input port) appear equally/unequally at the three endpoints (output ports) with different directions. Moreover, the numerical simulations demonstrate that the scheme possesses the robustness on the fluctuations of the NN hopping and the on-site potential in the system. Furthermore, we show that the number of the output ports with different directions can be flexibly increased in an extended X-junction SSH chain, and the experimental feasibility for implementing special QST in a superconducting qubit-resonator system is briefly discussed. Our work extends the space distribution of QST from linear distribution to planar distribution and promotes the construction of large-scale quantum networks.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Recently, metal-oxide thin-film transistor (TFT)-based flat-panel
x-ray detectors have attracted attention owing to their fast readout
times and low noise characteristics. We empirically analyzed the signal
and noise characteristics of an indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) TFT-based
detector in comparison with those of a conventional hydrogenated amorphous
silicon (a-Si:H) TFT-based detector. We compared the large-area
signal transfer functions of the detectors as a function of air kerma
at their entrance surfaces. Signal and noise performances were evaluated
by measuring the modulation-transfer function, noise-power spectrum,
and detective quantum efficiency (DQE). The low-dose imaging capability
of the detectors was assessed by investigating the large-area or zero-frequency
DQE as a function of air kerma. Herein, we evaluated the value of
the IGZO detector in terms of dose efficiency in comparison to the
conventional a-Si:H detector.
