ABSTRACT
We explore the properties of an ‘almost’ dark cloud of neutral hydrogen (H i) using data from the Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Survey (WALLABY). Until recently, WALLABY J103508 − 283427 (also known as H1032 − 2819 or LEDA 2793457) was not known to have an optical counterpart, but we have identified an extremely faint optical counterpart in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Legacy Imaging Survey Data Release 10. We measured the mean g-band surface brightness to be 27.0 ± 0.3 mag arcsec−2. The WALLABY data revealed the cloud to be closely associated with the interacting group Klemola 13 (also known as HIPASS J1034 − 28 and the Tol 9 group), which itself is associated with the Hydra cluster. In addition to WALLABY J103508 − 283427/H1032 − 2819, Klemola 13 contains 10 known significant galaxies and almost half of the total H i gas is beyond the optical limits of the galaxies. By combining the new WALLABY data with archival data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array, we investigate the H i distribution and kinematics of the system. We discuss the relative role of tidal interactions and ram pressure stripping in the formation of the cloud and the evolution of the system. The ease of detection of this cloud and intragroup gas is due to the sensitivity, resolution, and wide field of view of WALLABY, and showcases the potential of the full WALLABY survey to detect many more examples.

ABSTRACT
The relative enrichment of s-process to α-elements ([s/α]) has been linked with age, providing a potentially useful avenue in exploring the Milky Way’s chemical evolution. However, the age–[s/α] relationship is non-universal, with dependencies on metallicity and current location in the Galaxy. In this work, we examine these chemical clock tracers across birth radii (${R}_\text{birth}$), recovering the inherent trends between the variables. We derive ${R}_\text{birth}$ and explore the [s/α]–age–${R}_\text{birth}$ relationship for 36 652 APOGEE DR17 red giant and 24 467 GALAH DR3 main-sequence turn-off and subgiant branch disc stars using [Ce/Mg], [Ba/Mg], and [Y/Mg]. We discover that the age–$\rm [{\it s}/Mg]$ relation is strongly dependent on birth location in the Milky Way, with stars born in the inner disc having the weakest correlation. This is congruent with the Galaxy’s initially weak, negative $\rm [{\it s}/Mg]$ radial gradient, which becomes positive and steep with time. We show that the non-universal relations of chemical clocks is caused by their fundamental trends with ${R}_\text{birth}$ over time, and suggest that the tight age–$\rm [{\it s}/Mg]$ relation obtained with solar-like stars is due to similar ${R}_\text{birth}$ for a given age. Our results are put into context with a Galactic chemical evolution model, where we demonstrate the need for data-driven nucleosynthetic yields.
Community awareness of childhood arthritis in the UK
Authors: Beesley Richard P , Beesley Rebecca M 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objective
The aim was to measure the level of community awareness in the UK that children and young people can develop arthritis.

Methods
An online survey of a representative quota sample of 2044 adults aged 16–75 years in the UK was conducted between 10 and 13 February 2023 by Ipsos UK, a leading social and market research organization, with participants giving informed consent before taking part. Participants were asked which age band they thought is the earliest that someone can get arthritis. They were also asked whether a series of statements about arthritis were true or false, in addition to a series of demographic questions. Data were weighted to the known population proportions for adults aged 16–75 years in the UK.

Results
Overall, 40% of respondents indicated they believed the earliest that someone could get arthritis was &lt;16 years of age. This was higher amongst respondents with arthritis themselves or if they knew someone with arthritis. Only 19% of respondents were aware that children &lt;5 years of age can get arthritis. This varied by gender and ethnicity (males and minority ethnic groups were less likely to be aware). Minority ethnic groups were also more likely to believe a series of incorrect assumptions to be true.

Conclusion
Awareness that children and young people can get arthritis is low, and it is lower amongst minority ethnic groups. Further research to understand this is important, to enable targeted interventions and awareness-raising resources to be developed and applied as appropriate.

Abstract

Objectives
The primary objective of this study was the translation and validation of the ANCA-associated vasculitis patient-reported outcome (AAV-PRO) questionnaire into Italian, denoted as AAV-PRO_ita. The secondary objective was to evaluate the impact of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) on quality of life (QoL) and work impairment in a large cohort of Italian patients.

Methods
The study design took a prospective cohort study approach. First, the AAV-PRO was translated into Italian following the step guidelines for translations. The new AAV-PRO_ita questionnaire covered three disease domains: organ-specific and systemic symptoms and signs; physical function; and social and emotional impact. Second, Italian-speaking AAV patients were recruited from 17 Italian centres belonging to the Italian Vasculitis Study Group. Participants completed the AAV-PRO_ita questionnaire at three time points. Participants were also requested to complete the work productivity and activity impairment: general health questionnaire.

Results
A total of 276 AAV patients (56.5% women) completed the questionnaires. The AAV-PRO_ita questionnaire demonstrated a good internal consistency and test–retest reliability. Female AAV patients scored higher (i.e. worse) in all thee domains, especially in the social and emotional impact domain (P &lt; 0.001). Patients on glucocorticoid therapy (n = 199) had higher scores in all domains, especially in the physical function domain (P &lt; 0.001), compared with patients not on glucocorticoid therapy (n = 77). Furthermore, patients who had at least one relapse of disease (n = 114) had higher scores compared with those who had never had one (n = 161) in any domain (P &lt; 0.05). Finally, nearly 30% of the patients reported work impairment.

Conclusion
The AAV-PRO_ita questionnaire is a new 29-item, disease-specific patient-reported outcome measuring tool that can be used in AAV research in the Italian language. Sex, glucocorticoids and relapsing disease showed the greatest impact on QoL.

Abstract
The study investigated the effect of housing system and laying phases on the internal and external qualities of guinea fowl eggs laid in three different housing systems. The trial involved the use of 117, 34-wk-old guinea fowl hens which were assigned to three housing types, which were battery cages, deep litter, and deep litter housing systems with free runs, which had the same dimensions as deep litter houses but with free run and open-air space to allow the birds to have free access to soil and exhibit natural behavior. The laying phases of the birds were partitioned into three (36 to 40, 41 to 45, and 46 to 50 wk of age). The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using a 2 × 3 factorial design. The findings demonstrated that both housing type and laying period significantly influenced egg quality parameters, with deep litter housing exhibiting higher egg weight, egg breadth, and shell surface area. Battery cage housing had thicker shells and a higher percentage of shell weight than total egg weight. As the birds aged, most parameters increased, while shell thickness decreased. The interaction between housing type and laying period played a crucial role, with egg weight, breadth, and egg shape index increasing as the birds aged. The shell thickness decreased as the laying period progressed across all housing systems. During the 40 to 45 wk period of lay, they exhibited the highest albumen height, haugh unit, and % yolk weight. The study’s findings highlight how the interaction between the housing system and the laying period impacted the internal quality of guinea fowl eggs.

Published: January 2024

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the relationship between patient smoking status and fracture-related infection (FRI) characteristics including patient symptoms at FRI presentation, bacterial species of FRI, and rates of fracture union.

METHODS:

Design:
Retrospective cohort study.

Setting:
Urban level 1 trauma center.

Patient Selection Criteria:
All patients undergoing reoperation for FRI from January 2013 to April 2021 were identified via manual review of an institutional database.
Outcome Measures and Comparisons: Data including patient demographics, fracture characteristics, infection presentation, and hospital course were collected via review of the electronic medical record. Patients were grouped based on current smoker versus non-smoker status. Hospital course and postoperative outcomes of these groups were then compared. Risk factors for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, Staphylococcus epidermidis infection, and sinus tract development were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression.

RESULTS:
A total of 301 patients, comprised of 155 (51%) smokers and 146 (49%) non-smokers, undergoing FRI reoperation were included. Compared to non-smokers, smokers were more likely male (69% vs. 56%, p = 0.024), were younger at the time of FRI reoperation (41.7 years vs. 49.5 years, p < 0.001), and had lower mean BMI (27.2 vs. 32.0, p < 0.001). Smokers also had lower prevalence of diabetes mellitus (13% vs. 25%, p = 0.008) and had higher Charlson Comorbidity Index 10-year estimated survival (93% vs. 81%, p < 0.001). Smokers had a lower proportion of S. epidermidis infections (11% vs. 20%, p = 0.037), higher risk of nonunion following index fracture surgery (74% vs. 61%, p = 0.018), and higher risk of sinus tracts at FRI presentation (38% vs. 23%, p = 0.004). On multivariable analysis, smoking was not found to be associated with increased odds of MRSA infection.

CONCLUSION:
Among patients who develop a fracture related infection, smokers appeared to have better baseline health in terms of age, body mass index, diabetes mellitus, and Charlson Comorbidity Index 10-year estimated survival compared to non-smokers. Smoking status was not significantly associated with odds of MRSA infection. However, smoking status was associated with increased risk of sinus tract development and nonunion as well as lower rates of S. epidermidis infection at the time of FRI reoperation.
Autoinoculation Therapy for the Treatment of Widespread Cutaneous Warts
Authors: Mousa Haider Abdul-Lateef 
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND
Cutaneous warts are common lesions that are often unresponsive to various therapeutic modalities.

OBJECTIVE
To assess the role of autoinoculation therapy in the treatment of widespread cutaneous warts.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
This interventional study included patients with widespread skin warts who did not respond to conventional treatments. Two methods were used to perform the autoinoculation therapy. The first procedure was performed by obtaining a small piece of the wart and inoculating it into a subcutaneous pocket. The second method was developed by the investigator and was performed by inserting a needle into the center of the wart toward the nearby subcutaneous tissue, with multiple forward and backward movements in several directions around the lesion.

RESULTS
The prospective study included 23 patients. The illness duration ranged from 3 months to 5 years. Autoinoculation interventions revealed full recovery of all warts in 20 cases (87%) within 20 to 90 days (mean: 40.7 days).

CONCLUSION
Autoinoculation procedures demonstrated effectiveness, less cost, lesser pain, less invasiveness, without leaving skin scars in comparison with other conventional therapies.
Bacterial Organisms Colonizing Mohs Surgical Wounds Healing by Second Intention on the Lower Extremities: A Prospective, Controlled Study
Authors: Renzi Michael A. , Jennings Tara , Lawrence Naomi , Decker Ashley 
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND
Based on recent research, second intention wounds may be at greater risk for postoperative infection compared with sutured wounds. Accurate diagnosis of postoperative wound infections on the lower leg can be challenging and result in unnecessary antibiotic administration.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to identify bacterial organisms that commonly colonize second intention surgical wounds after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and isolate pathogenic organisms.

METHODS
Patients with second intention surgical wounds on the lower leg were evaluated 2 weeks after MMS. Wounds were swabbed for bacteria and categorized as infected or not infected based on clinical appearance. Any colonizing bacteria were recorded once the culture results were reported.

RESULTS
Twenty-five clinically infected wounds and 26 control wounds were cultured. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common bacteria, colonizing 8 infected wounds (15.7%) and 5 control wounds (9.8%). Eight cultures (32%) from clinically infected wounds grew normal skin flora alone.

CONCLUSION

Staphylococcus aureus is the most common bacteria colonizing wounds healing by second intention on the lower extremity. Thirty-two percent of clinically infected wounds grew normal skin flora, demonstrating the challenge of accurately diagnosing infection in lower extremity second intention wounds.
Sensing behavior change in chronic pain: A scoping review of sensor technology for use in daily life

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Technology offers possibilities for quantification of behaviors and physiological changes of relevance to chronic pain, using wearable sensors and devices suitable for data collection in daily life contexts. We conducted a scoping review of wearable and passive sensor technologies that sample data of psychological interest in chronic pain, including in social situations. Sixty articles met our criteria from the 2783 citations retrieved from searching. Three-quarters of recruited people were with chronic pain, mostly musculoskeletal, and the remainder with acute or episodic pain; those with chronic pain had a mean age of 43 (few studies sampled adolescents or children) and 60% were women. Thirty-seven studies were performed in laboratory or clinical settings and the remainder in daily life settings. Most used only 1 type of technology, with 76 sensor types overall. The commonest was accelerometry (mainly used in daily life contexts), followed by motion capture (mainly in laboratory settings), with a smaller number collecting autonomic activity, vocal signals, or brain activity. Subjective self-report provided “ground truth” for pain, mood, and other variables, but often at a different timescale from the automatically collected data, and many studies reported weak relationships between technological data and relevant psychological constructs, for instance, between fear of movement and muscle activity. There was relatively little discussion of practical issues: frequency of sampling, missing data for human or technological reasons, and the users' experience, particularly when users did not receive data in any form. We conclude the review with some suggestions for content and process of future studies in this field.
A Qualitative Study of the Social Relationship Experiences Across the Life Course Among Black/African American Women Aging With HIV in the South
Authors: Moore Elizabeth D. , Caiola Courtney , Cary Michael , Humphreys Janice 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Black/African American women continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV, facing multiple intersecting challenges that influence how they age and effectively manage their health. Supportive social relationships have been shown to help mitigate challenges and improve health in women with HIV, but little is known about Black/African American women's perceptions of social relationships. Guided by Life Course Theory, in-depth life history interviews were conducted with 18 Black/African American women aged 50+ years. In older adulthood, most important relationships among Black/African American women were with their adult children and grandchildren, intimate partners, God, and friends from the community. Factors that influenced relationships over time included: (a) a desire to build a community; (b) a need to empower oneself and give back; (c) yearning to engage the younger generation; and (d) battling HIV stigma. Older Black/African American women with HIV played a critical role in the education of the younger generation.

Authors: Sobajima Atsushi , Nakamura Yukio , Nakano Masaki , Maeda Takashi , Momose Takashige , Ohyama Shigekazu , Yamamoto Kaori , Nawata Masashi 
Published: January 2024

Introduction:
Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have nowadays had good outcomes, there remain some concerns, such as complications, during and/or after surgeries. There have been some reports on the postoperative complications of joint arthroplasty. However, to the best of our knowledge, none exist on cholangitis after THA or TKA.

Patient concerns:
This patients’ agreement was obtained.

Diagnosis and interventions:
Here is the first kind of case series to show nine cases of cholangitis which required urgent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography after THA or TKA in the absence of preoperative abdominal ultrasound between June 2019 and May 2021.

Outcomes:
One case among 9 cases required open laparotomy for acute cholecystitis.

Conclusion:
Even 1 case of 9 cases, this study showed the importance of preoperative screening for gallbladder stones in order to evaluate the risk of cholangitis development after joint arthroplasty.
Adverse Impact of Sodium Bicarbonate Administration on Multiple Outcomes in Acute Pancreatitis Patients With Hyperlactatemia
Authors: Yan Tianao , Zhang Chun , Ma Yifei , Xu KeDong , Wu Shuai , Xu Fengshuo , Han Yimin , Wei Wanzhen , Lyu Jun , Wang Zheng 
Published: January 2024

Objective
Hyperlactatemia is likely to occur among patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Sodium bicarbonate (SB) therapy could be applied to correct potential detrimental acidic disturbances, but the exact impact of SB treatment is unknown. This study aims to investigate the impact of SB on AP patients complicated with hyperlactatemia.

Methods
The study was conducted based on the database named Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV). Propensity matching (PSM) and inverse probability weighting (IPTW) were used to balance the baseline differences. Multivariate regression and marginal structural Cox models were performed to investigate the association between SB and multiple outcomes.

Results
Three hundred fifty-three AP patients with hyperlactatemia (initial serum lactate, >2.0 mmol/L) were extracted from the MIMIC-IV database. We found that SB treatment was significantly associated with worse multi-outcomes of AP patients with hyperlactatemia (in-hospital mortality: hazard ratio, 2.46; 95% confidence interval, 1.38–4.39; P < 0.01). Further analysis through marginal structural Cox models showed that SB had adverse impact on in-hospital prognosis of patients with severe lactic acidosis (pH < 7.15,lactate > 2.0 mmol/L).

Conclusion
Sodium bicarbonate might not be an appropriate treatment for AP patients with hyperlactatemia (lactate > 2.0 mmol/L) or with severe lactic acidosis (pH < 7.15, lactate > 2.0 mmol/L).
