Quantifying drug overdose deaths: A troubled path from start to finish
Authors: Coleman John J. , Peppin John F. 
Published: October 2023

Between 1999 and 2019, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 450,000 people died from overdoses involving prescribed opioids. This review examines how drug overdose deaths are compiled by the CDC using the coding system of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). When it comes to drug-involved deaths, the ICD may not tell the whole story or even the right story. To learn why, the authors examined the CDC's source data and the standard death certificate. In fatal drug overdose cases, death certificates are issued often before the results of post-mortem toxicology are known by the certifier. The CDC believes that this delay in the death investigation process may account for errors when, for example, certifiers list ambiguous terms such as “suspected acute drug intoxication” or “possible drug overdose” as a cause of death. When incomplete data are coded according to the ICD, the error is passed along while potentially useful information is lost. The result may reflect accurately the annual total of drug-involved overdose deaths while obscuring the lethality of individual substances, consumed alone or in combination, which contributed to, or caused, drug-involved deaths. The true cause of most fatal drug overdoses—polysubstance abuse—often is lost in this process.
A key objective of this paper is to describe the process used by the CDC to report drug-involved mortality and how the current iteration of the ICD may be ill-suited for this important task.
Differentiating nasopharyngeal carcinoma from lymphoma in the head and neck region using the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Tabnak Peyman , HajiEsmailPoor Zanyar 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis study aimed to assess the applicability of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for differentiating nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) from lymphomas in the head and neck region.Material and methodsFour databases, including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science, were searched systematically to find relevant literature. The search date was updated to 8 September 2022, with no starting time restriction. The methodological quality of the studies was evaluated using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. Firstly, a random-effects model was used in a meta-analysis of continuous variables with low heterogeneity to determine the overall effect size, which was reported as the standard mean difference (SMD). Then, bivariate random effects modelling was used to calculate the combined sensitivity and specificity. The area under the curve (AUC) for each diffusion parameter was calculated after constructing summary receiver operating characteristic curves. The presence of heterogeneity was evaluated using subgroup and meta-regression analysis.ResultsTwelve studies involving 181 lymphoma and 449 NPC lesions (<i>N</i> = 630) in the head and neck region were included, of which 5 studies provided sufficient data for pooling diagnostic test accuracy. A meta-analysis of the 12 studies using a random-effects model yielded an SMD of 1.03 (CI = 0.76-1.30; <i>p</i> = 0.00001), implying that NPC lesions had a significantly higher ADC value than lymphoma lesions. By pooling 5 standard DWI studies, the pooled sensitivity and specificity of ADC were 0.90 (95% CI: 0.82-0.95) and 0.63 (95% CI: 0.52-0.72), respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) calculated from the SROC curve was 0.74 (95% CI: 0.70-0.78).ConclusionsAccording to this systematic review and meta-analysis, nasopharyngeal carcinoma has a significantly higher ADC value than lymphomas. Furthermore, while ADC has excellent sensitivity for distinguishing these 2 types of tumours, its specificity is relatively low, yielding a moderate diagnostic performance. Further investigations with larger sample sizes are required.
Cost-Effectiveness of Nirsevimab for the Prevention of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection in Infants
Authors: Brown Ramon , Tiggelaar Sean , Tsoi Bernice , Cromwell Ian 
Published: October 2023

During CADTH’s search of the economic literature, 3 economic studies were identified that assessed the cost-effectiveness of a long-acting monoclonal antibody, nirsevimab, as an intervention to prevent respiratory syncytial virus in infants in high-income countries, including 1 study set in Nunavik.
The 3 studies were conducted for different geographical locations: Canada, the US, and England and Wales. While each study conducted an economic evaluation, their approaches differed: 1 was a cost-consequence analysis and the other 2 were cost-utility analyses.
The results from the 3 studies varied considerably, and the nirsevimab programs differed (e.g., in terms of patients eligible for immunization). In general, nirsevimab was generally more effective and associated with lower total costs than comparator programs. The results were sensitive to the modelled region, source of efficacy data, price of nirsevimab, and severity of the respiratory syncytial virus season.
The generalizability of the identified studies to Canadian policy-making may be limited given the population compositions and cost parameters included in the models. To understand the potential cost-effectiveness of nirsevimab, a de novo economic evaluation would be required that compared nirsevimab with the existing preventive strategies employed in Canada (which may include monoclonal antibodies for infants) and is conducted in a Canadian setting.
Ancient Telling, Contemporary Showing: A Reading of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) As Film Adaptation
Authors: Raissi Poya , Ghaffari Morteza 
Published: October 2023

This article aims to investigate the contemporary aspects of adaptation from ancient plays, presenting a reading of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017). A comparative view towards Iphigenia at Aulis by Euripides (405 BC) raises the question of how story elements of that play are recreated within the film adaptation. Also, it seeks to explore the relationship between the type of engagement, from hypotext (play) “telling” to hypertext (film) “showing”. The theoretical framework of the article utilized theories of Gerard Genette’s “hypertextuality” and Linda Hutcheon’s “adaptation”. The results indicate subtle thematic connections, as well as a significant interplay between hypotext and hypertext. The Killing of a Sacred Deer represents an adaptation with a creative interpretation, one which reimagines the forms and themes of ancient tragedy in a modern-life context. Various influences, imitations and transformations of Euripides’ story elements are interwoven in the adaptation process and discussed in the article.

The 'Baseball' Siglum on Black Gloss Pottery from Vescovado di Murlo
Authors: O'Donoghue Eóin , Wallace Rex 
Published: October 2023

Nel 1960, due tombe a camera sono state scoperte durante la costruzione dell’area di Tinoni a Vescovado di Murlo. Vari esempi di ceramica nera lucida sono stati recuperati dalle tombe, 43 dei quali sono graffiti con sigla alfabetici e non. Un siglum si distingue per la frequenza con cui ricorre (12 volte) e per la sua forma unica; assomiglia alla forma di una palla da baseball. In questo articolo indaghiamo il siglum ‘baseball’, discutendo la sua collocazione all’interno della ceramica e descrivendone la variazione nella forma. Data la frequenza e la forma unica del siglum, sospettiamo che avesse una funzione speciale per i membri della famiglia sepolti nelle tombe dei Tinoni.

In 1960, two chamber tombs were discovered during construction in the Tinoni area of Vescovado di Murlo. Many examples of black gloss pottery were recovered from the tombs, 43 of which were scratched with alphabetic and non-alphabetic sigla. One siglum stands out for the frequency with which it occurs (12 times) and for its unique shape; it resembles the form of a baseball. In this paper, we investigate the ‘baseball’ siglum, discussing its placement on the interior of the pottery and describing its variation in form. Given the frequency and the unique form of the siglum, we suspect that it had a special function for family members buried in the Tinoni tombs. We conclude the paper by speculating about this possibility.

Comparative investigations of biomass composition in differently managed grasslands of the Balaton Uplands National Park, Hungary
Authors: Magyar Veronika , Penksza Károly , Szentes Szilárd 
Published: October 2023

Phytosociological and biomass samples were collected in two territories of the Balaton Uplands National Park (Hungary) dominated by grassland habitats. Samples in the Tihany Peninsula had been taken in a pasture of Hungarian Grey Cattle. Studies were broadened to four areas of the Tapolcai Basin, Badacsonytördemic (undergrazed and overgrazed pastures, hayfield, control area). The areas were suitable for following up the changes of vegetation and production in every grazing season of a year. We evaluated the changes of species composition and ground cover, the measure of possible regeneration or degradation, and the changes of these factors from the viewpoint of feeding value. Covering rates of the grassland associations have doubled and species composition has improved in the Tihany Peninsula, however, forage value has not increased, due to the change in land use in favour of the natural area that is converting into grazing field. In case of the Taplocai Basin, low number of species (20 to 30) was detected in the undergrazed pasture and the control area. About one month per year grazing time in the undergrazed area was not enough to achieve a better state for species diversity, and the amount of forage remained high. The overgrazed pasture carries a low forage value and contains a high number of weed species, despite the spectacularly high total number of plant species (38 to 39), consequently, grazing pressure has to be decreased. Although the number of species is lower in the hayfield (26 to 28), species composition and ability for forage supply is much better, showing that the proper management of the area is taken here.

A literature review was done on the selection and utilization of grass species by beef cattle in the Limpopo province. The literature study was complimented by research done on the Towoomba Research station and the University of Limpopo, both in Limpopo Province, in South Africa. The Province is well known for its low rainfall and good quality rangeland. The main aim was to categorize the most important grass species in different utilization (palatability) classes. The thirteen grass species which were under investigation could be classified as follows: Highly palatable species: Panicum maximum and Urochloa mosambicensis; Palatable species: Digitaria eriantha, Heteropogon contortus, Schmidtia pappophoroides and Themeda triandra. Less palatable: Trachypogon spicatus and Themeda triandra and Least palatable: Eragrostis rigidior, Hyparrhenia hirta, Pogonarthria squarrosa, Melinus repens and the Aristida species.

Morfológiai méréseket végeztünk karcagi természetközeli és vetett gyepekből begyűjtött négy pázsitfűfajról. A külső toklász hossz- és szélességi paramétereit, valamint a négy faj ezerszem tömegét mértük meg. A külső toklászok paramétereinek a vizsgálata a virágtakarók szélességi méreteire is kiterjedtek. A szélességre vonatkozón nagyon kevés irodalmi adat áll rendelkezésre, mert a fajjellemzések a hossz értékekkel foglalkoznak csak, és a szálka hosszával vagy arányával a külső toklászok méretéhez viszonyítva. Az irodalmi adatokkal összehasonlítva a saját gyűjtésünk méréseit, megállapítottuk, hogy az olaszperje esetében a külső toklászok hossza, valamint az ezerszem tömeg tekintetében találtunk lényeges különbségeket. A jelen eredmények arra mutatnak rá, hogy a vetőmagtisztításkor gondot jelentő angol-, illetve olaszperje szétválasztása nem méretbeli, hanem tömeg szerinti tisztítástechnikai módszerekkel lehet eredményes.
