Gastrointestinal infections after earthquake
Authors: Beşli Yeşim , Sancak Banu 
Published: November 2023

Natural disasters such as earthquakes resulting in infrastructural damage in affected areas can also result in outbreaks of infectious diseases, with infections usually beginning within 4 days of the initial impact. Gastrointestinal diseases are prevalent due to the lack of food and water supplies. The rates of diarrheal illnesses following natural disasters are mainly influenced by the (i) endemicity of intestinal pathogens before the disaster, (ii) the availability of safe water and sanitation facilities, (iii) the severity of the disaster, (iv) the degree of crowding and (v) the availability of healthcare resources. Among the causative agents of gastroenteritis, viral infections are the most common ones, followed by bacterial and parasitic infections. Maintenance of sanitation and availability of primary healthcare are critical for early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of infectious disease outbreaks following natural disasters.
Cultural conceptualizations of sight and cultural values
Authors: Baranyiné Kóczy Judit 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe relationship between visual experience and cognition manifested in thethinking/knowing/understanding is seeingmetaphor, is claimed to be the primary vision metaphor in various languages. However, only a few studies considered its extension to less central domains such ascultural values. The paper seeks to understand how the figurative usages of Hungarian vision verbs refer to the cultural values ofmorality,respect, andhospitality. Three verbs of vision are invesitaged employing Cultural Linguistic and cognitive semantic analyses, namely,néz‘look/watch’,lát‘see’, andtekint‘look/glance’. It is demonstrated that visual perception in Hungarian has a significant role in moral reasoning; however, there are substantial differences in the ways these vision verbs relate to them. To find a motivational explanation for these differences, the semantic properties of the verbs are identified through contrastive analysis and by observing their semantic profiles within thevisionscenario. As a result, a cultural model of each verb is reconstructed. The study gives a refined view on the linkage ofsightandcultural valuesin Hungarian, furthermore, the proposed methodology can be effectively applied to various areas of perception research in a cultural context.
Rethinking basic taste terms
Authors: Luo Yongxian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The general consensus about four basic tastes, sweet,
bitter, sour and salty, is rooted in Aristotle’s
writings. This inventory was expanded with the addition of
umami (or savoury) in the early years of last century, a
taste that wasn’t fully scientifically recognized until the mid-1980s. Work on
this area of human cognition from various fields – psychology, physiology,
chemistry and particularly food science – has led to new discoveries that allow
us to have a better understanding of the mechanism of taste. However, linguistic
work on this aspect of human perception is lacking. Questions remain to be asked
as to the size of the vocabulary of basic tastes, and how language can reflect
the organization of the taste domain. This paper proposes to look at basic
tastes by examining Chinese historical texts with an aim to reveal how the
ancient Chinese people classified and categorized tastes. It will be
demonstrated that the Chinese concept of “taste” boasts a long history, going
back to pre-historic times. The word for “taste”, 味 wèi, can also refer to “smell;
flavour.” The term is primarily used as a category noun, which gets borrowed
into Japanese to become the head element
-mi
of
the compound word umami in Japanese. Significantly, a form with
a similar sound shape, 美 měi, was found in ancient Chinese
with the meaning “tasty”, an adjective describing the taste, flavour of fresh
meat, akin to “savoury.” This indicates that we are dealing with a morphological
process or doublet in this semantic field. It also indicates that the idea of
“good taste, tasty, savoury” existed long before that of umami.
Equally important is the form with related meaning, 鲜 xiān, which is made up of two
graphic forms, “fish” （鱼） + “lamb” （羊）. This form etymologically denotes the
flavour of fresh fish, now carrying the sense of “fresh, delicious, tasty,
savoury” in Chinese, which further illustrates the point. Still another form,
旨 zhǐ “(n) good flavour; pleasant
taste,” is the source of the meaning of umami, as defined in
Japanese dictionaries. Several other tastes are also analysed. Their
implications for the expansion of basic tastes are discussed. The connections
between the taste domain and olfaction domain are explored, with insights from
some neighbouring languages.
Spherical seepage model of Bingham fluid in rough and low-permeability porous media
Authors: Yang Shanshan , Zhao Ke , Zheng Sheng 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Based on the microstructure of porous media that exhibits statistical self-similarity fractal features, this paper investigates the radial flow characteristics of non-Newtonian fluids within rough porous media. The analytical equation of permeability and starting pressure gradient of Bingham fluid in low permeability rough porous media are established. It is found that the relative roughness is inversely proportional to the permeability and proportional to the starting pressure gradient. In addition, it is also found that the permeability of low permeability porous media decreases spherically with the increase of radial distance and curvature fractal dimension, and increases with the increase of pore area fractal dimension and porosity. Furthermore, the staring pressure gradient is directly proportional to the radial distance, yield stress and curvature fractal dimension. By comparing the model in this paper with the existing experimental data, the correctness and rationality of the spherical seepage fractal model are effectively verified.
Effect of laser welding and laser wire filling on forming and properties of dissimilar steel welded joints
Authors: Lina Sun , You Lu , Junxiang Jiang 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In order to study the effects of different welding methods and different butt gaps on the microstructure and properties of welded joints of steel with unequal thickness, the medium carbon steel of 2 mm 50CrV and low carbon steel of 6 mm SPHE were used as test materials, and the welding was carried out by single laser and laser wire filling welding. The results show that the laser wire filling welding can reduce the welding cracks, and with the increase of the butt gap, the melt height gradually decreases, and the weld morphology transitions from Y shape to H shape. With the increase of the butt gap, the weld defects form. The hardness of weld center decreases with the increase of butt gap. The average hardness of weld formed by laser welding alone is the highest, and the highest hardness of welded joint is located in the heat affected zone of 50CrV medium carbon steel. The tensile strength of welded joints first increases and then decreases with the increase of butt gaps. When the butt gap is 0.6 mm, the surface morphology is good and the tensile strength is the highest. The fracture position of the welding test is on the side of the 2 mm 50CrV medium carbon steel.

Abstract
Electron density in fusion plasma is usually diagnosed using laser-aided interferometers. The phase difference signal obtained after phase demodulation is wrapped, which is also called a fringe jump. A method has been developed to unwrap the phase difference signal in real time using FPGA, specifically designed to handle fringe jumps in the hydrogen cyanide (HCN) laser interferometer on the EAST superconducting tokamak. This method is designed for a phase demodulator using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) method at the front end. The method is better adapted for hardware implementation compared to complex mathematical analysis algorithms, such as field programmable gate array (FPGA). It has been applied to process the phase measurement results of the HCN laser interferometer on EAST in real time. Electron density results show good confidence in the fringe jump unwrapping method. Further possible application in other laser interferometers, such as the POlarimeter-INTerferometer (POINT) system on EAST tokamak is also discussed.

Authors: Srinivas T , Subramanian Akhilesh , Reddy K Sreethan , Srinivas G 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The most prevalent element found in nature is hydrogen. It functions as fuel that could be used in cells or as automotive fuel when it is in the diatomic state rather than just a gas. There are many ways to produce hydrogen, and the current effort focuses on one of them: producing hydrogen using electrolysis. The present study aims to determine the influence of various parameters such as electrode length, electrode diameter, electrode material, electrolyte concentration, and volume of the electrolyzer. The amount of hydrogen produced by the various compositions has been contrasted. The hydrogen yield has been found to be increase with increases in the electrolyte concentration and electrode length, but it has been found to be decrease with increases in electrode diameter. The graphite electrode has produced higher yield than the stainless steel electrode. The hydrogen produced by the system had been utilized as a source for the fuel cell module in the simulation tests, and it showed that the hydrogen electrolysis integrated with the fuel cell module may be able to generate power.
Considerations and limitations of buprenorphine prescribing for opioid use disorder in the intensive care unit setting: A narrative review
Authors: Erstad Brian L , Glenn Melody J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this review is to discuss important considerations when prescribing buprenorphine for opioid use disorder (OUD) in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting, recognizing the challenges of providing detailed recommendations in the setting of limited available evidence.

Summary
Buprenorphine is a partial mu-opioid receptor agonist that is likely to be increasingly prescribed for OUD in the ICU setting due to the relaxation of prescribing regulations. The pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine are complicated by the availability of several formulations that can be given by different administration routes. There is no single optimal dosing strategy for buprenorphine induction, with regimens ranging from very low-dose to high dose regimens. Faster induction with higher doses of buprenorphine has been studied and is frequently utilized in the emergency department. In patients admitted to the ICU who were receiving opioids either medically or illicitly, analgesia will not occur until their baseline opioid requirements are covered when their preadmission opioid is either reversed or interrupted. For patients in the ICU who are not on buprenorphine at the time of admission but have possible OUD, there are no validated tools to diagnose OUD or the severity of opioid withdrawal in critically ill patients unable to provide the subjective components of instruments validated in outpatient settings. When prescribing buprenorphine in the ICU, important issues to consider include dosing, monitoring, pain management, use of adjunctive medications, and considerations to transition to outpatient therapy. Ideally, addiction and pain management specialists would be available when buprenorphine is prescribed for critically ill patients.

Conclusion
There are unique challenges when prescribing buprenorphine for OUD in critically ill patients, regardless of whether they were receiving buprenorphine when admitted to the ICU setting for OUD or are under consideration for buprenorphine initiation. There is a critical need for more research in this area.
Extracellular vesicles modulate key signalling pathways in refractory wound healing
Authors: Yang Bowen , Lin Yumeng , Huang Yibo , Zhu Nanxi , Shen Ying-Qiang 
Published: November 2023

AbstractChronic wounds are wounds that cannot heal properly due to various factors, such as underlying diseases, infection or reinjury, and improper healing of skin wounds and ulcers can cause a serious economic burden. Numerous studies have shown that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from stem/progenitor cells promote wound healing, reduce scar formation and have significant advantages over traditional treatment methods. EVs are membranous particles that carry various bioactive molecules from their cellular origins, such as cytokines, nucleic acids, enzymes, lipids and proteins. EVs can mediate cell-to-cell communication and modulate various physiological processes, such as cell differentiation, angiogenesis, immune response and tissue remodelling. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in EV-based wound healing, focusing on the signalling pathways that are regulated by EVs and their cargos. We discuss how EVs derived from different types of stem/progenitor cells can promote wound healing and reduce scar formation by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin, vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor β and JAK–STAT pathways. Moreover, we also highlight the challenges and opportunities for engineering or modifying EVs to enhance their efficacy and specificity for wound healing.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The aim of this study is to propose a photovoltaic (PV) module simulation model with high accuracy under practical working conditions and strong applicability in the engineering field to meet various PV system simulation needs. Unlike previous model-building methods, this study combines the advantages of analytical and metaheuristic algorithms. First, the applicability of various metaheuristic algorithms is comprehensively compared and the seven parameters of the PV cell under standard test conditions are extracted using the double diode model, which verifies that the artificial hummingbird algorithm has higher accuracy than other algorithms. Then, the seven parameters under different conditions are corrected using the analytical method. In terms of the correction method, the ideal factor correction is added on the basis of previous methods to solve the deviation between simulated data and measured data in the non-linear section. Finally, the root mean squared error between the simulated current data and the measured current data of the proposed model under three different temperatures and irradiance is 0.0697, 0.0570 and 0.0289 A, respectively.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Background/Aims
The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Japan has been increasing. We aimed to clarify the symptoms of patients with IBD in Japan using an internet-based questionnaire survey.

Methods
Overall, 805 patients with IBD were asked to complete an internet-based questionnaire addressing their history of disturbances in daily activities, prevalence of fecal urgency, incontinence, and treatment preferences.

Results
Responses were obtained from 447 patients with IBD (mean age: 54 years; 70% were men), comprising 363 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), and 84 with Crohn’s disease (CD). Notably, 16% of patients with UC and 35% with CD took over 1 year until the diagnosis of IBD, and 5% of patients with CD visited more than 5 medical institutions. Patients with CD were more likely to experience disturbances in their diet, work, travel, and outings than those with UC. Fecal urgency and incontinence were significantly more frequent in patients with CD than in those with UC (72% vs. 44%, and 50% vs. 26%, respectively). In contrast, 26% of the men and 37% of women with IBD had constipation. Acid reflux, sleep disorders, and depressive symptoms were present in approximately 30% of the patients. Oral administration was preferred.

Conclusions
Patients with IBD in Japan experience more severe disturbances in their daily activities, and these are more severe in those with CD than those with UC. In addition to fecal urgency and incontinence, care is required for constipation, acid reflux, sleep disorders, and depressive symptoms.
Giant ascending aortic aneurysm with impending rupture as presentation of cutis laxa 1B: a case report
Authors: Used-Gavín Alejandro , Larrañaga-Moreira José María , Lago-Cascudo Rafael , Mosquera-Rodríguez Víctor X , Barriales-Villa Roberto 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Background
Thoracic aortic aneurysms are rarely symptomatic but can result in acute aortic syndromes, associated with a high mortality rate. While most cases may be acquired, a genetic basis is evident in approximately 20–25% of the cases, especially among patients under 50 years of age, and those exhibiting syndromic features or family history. Although autosomal dominant inheritance is predominant in familial aortopathies, exceptions exist, such as cutis laxa 1B (CL1B)-related aortic disease, caused by variants in EFEMP2 gene, that follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.

Case summary
We present the case of a 26-year-old male with a giant ascending aorta aneurysm and massive pericardial effusion, which was ultimately diagnosed of CL1B due to the p.Ser137Cys variant in the EFEMP2 gene in homozygosis. The patient underwent successful ascending aorta replacement (Bentall´s procedure). There were not complications or further events after 2 years of follow-up.

Discussion
This case underscores the importance of genetic testing in young patients presenting with aortopathies, syndromic features, or atypical presentations, irrespective of family history.
Allometry then locomotor diversification shaped the evolution of lumbar morphology in early placental mammals
Authors: Kort Anne E , Polly P David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
After the end-Cretaceous mass extinction, placental mammals rapidly diversified in size and locomotor mode, setting the stage for mammals to move into almost every habitat on Earth. Locomotion in extant mammals includes unique sagittal flexion of the trunk primarily driven by lumbar vertebrae, a ribless region of the spine. Consequently, variation in lumbar morphology is associated with a wide variety of locomotor styles. While the origin of this region in early therian mammals in the Mesozoic has been studied, along the therian stem, the later functional diversification of lumbar morphology in placental mammals, the dominant extant group, has been essentially unstudied. We measured the shape of lumbar vertebrae from early placental mammals to test how body size, locomotor specialization, and phylogeny interacted in the diversification of lumbar function after the end-Cretaceous mass extinction. We used 3D geometric morphometrics to quantify shape and compare variation between these Palaeogene mammals and modern mammals. We found that Palaeogene mammals had high disparity in lumbar morphology and that this variation correlated with size and locomotor style. Surprisingly, several ‘archaic’ placentals, like hyaenodontids, showed highly mobile lumbar morphology. These findings show that lumbar vertebrae formed an important and evolvable functional unit at the beginning of the Cenozoic.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Background and Objectives
The number of older adults diagnosed with dementia is expected to more than double by mid-century. Monitoring older adults’ cognitive functioning is essential for the early detection of dementia, which can increase treatment efficacy and slow the disease progression. Current approaches to detect preclinical dementia are expensive, invasive, and are not accessible to everyone. This study aimed to determine whether technology use patterns could be used as an indicator of cognitive change.

Research Design and Methods
Using 6 waves (2015–2020) from the National Health and Aging Trends Study, we examined within-person and between-person effects of stopping 4 types of technology use on 4 cognitive outcomes.

Results
Our analyses showed that stopping the use of the Internet, computers, and tablets, and sending texts and e-mails were related to cognitive decline.

Discussion and Implications
These results suggest that monitoring technology use patterns may be an innovative approach that is economical and efficient to identify individuals at risk of cognitive decline.

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Background
The ability to adapt clinical management of trauma in many lower- and middle- income countries (LMICs) has been historically constrained by nonexistent or inadequate data registries. These registries suffer from a variety of issues including administrative, logistical, educational, feasibility, and financial barriers.

Objective
The present study aimed to survey physicians at a representative hospital with documented trauma record deficiencies regarding their experiences with the current registry system, barriers that affect the current system, and recommendations for improvement.

Methods
This study was a qualitative analysis of the experiences and opinions of trauma physicians in the Emergency Department of Beni-Suef University Hospital. Eight participants underwent a semi-structured interview covering the aforementioned topics. The interviews were then coded to identify prominent themes, from which quotes that epitomized these themes were selected.

Results
The participants identified issues with the current data registry system that corroborates prior quantitative data at the location, particularly stressing the lack of critical information affecting patient care and safety including mechanisms of injury, patient identification information, and time courses. Clinical duties and staffing were identified as primary barriers as the large patient volume seen in under-resourced hospitals precludes the ability of the physician to adequately complete documentation. Simplicity and practical workflow modification in conjunction with increased data utilization in the form of research output were stressed as desirable features that could facilitate the improvement of the current system.

Conclusion
Data registries enable hospitals and public health systems to engage in primary and secondary interventions, thereby reducing clinical volume loads and increasing clinical efficacy. After engaging in constructive discussion with physicians on the trauma care team at Beni-Suef University Hospital, the goal of workflow modification within existing resources was established as the primary guiding principle for subsequent interventional stages in improving the current trauma registry.
