Published: January 2025

AbstractDetecting gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) with white light endoscopy (WLE) remains a challenge and virtual chromoendoscopy methods have been shown to increase accuracy. We aimed to externally validate the Endoscopic Grading of Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia (EGGIM) using blue light imaging (BLI).First, the reliability of BLI and the EGGIM score was evaluated through assessment of 90 images divided into three sets of 30. A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted at two Italian centers involving 102 patients (510 biopsies). Both per-biopsy and per-patient analyses were performed to ascertain accuracy of BLI in detecting and staging GIM (vs. histology).BLI significantly enhanced interobserver agreement of endoscopic diagnosis of GIM, with a Fleiss Kappa of 0.4 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.3–0.5), compared to 0.2 (95% CI 0.2–0.3) with WLE. Concordance was particularly strong in applying the EGGIM score (weighted Kappa 0.7;
95% CI 0.5–0.9). BLI showed significant improvements in sensitivity over WLE, with an
increase observed in both per-biopsy analysis (82%; 95%CI 73.7–89.0 vs. 50%;95% CI
40.6–60.3) and per-patient analysis (96%; 95% CI 84.5–99.4 vs. 68%;95% CI 52.4-81.4). The
area under the curve of EGGIM in diagnosing OLGIM III/IV was 0.9 (95% CI 0.8–1.0),
confirming EGGIM > 4 being the optimal threshold (sensitivity of 80%, specificity of
88%).Our study validates BLI integrated with the EGGIM system as an effective strategy, highlighting its precision in identifying advanced GIM stages. BLI's notable sensitivity enhances its use as a complementary tool to WLE, significantly improving gastric cancer risk assessment.

AbstractThe United States Food and Drug Administration approved the xanomeline-trospium
combination in September 2024 for treating schizophrenia, based in part on three
double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trials in adults with schizophrenia
experiencing acute psychosis. This random-effects model pairwise meta-analysis
of those three trials found that xanomeline-trospium was comparable to placebo
in terms of all-cause discontinuation, discontinuation rate due to adverse
events, Simpson–Angus Scale score change, Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale score
change, body weight change, body mass index change, blood pressure change, serum
total cholesterol change, blood glucose change, QTc interval changes, and the
incidence of headache, somnolence, insomnia, dizziness, akathisia, agitation,
tachycardia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, diarrhea, increased weight, and
decreased appetite. However, xanomeline-trospium was associated with a higher
incidence of at least one adverse event, dry mouth, hypertension, nausea,
vomiting, dyspepsia, and constipation, and increased serum triglyceride compared
with placebo. Notably, xanomeline-trospium demonstrated superior efficacy than
placebo in improving the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total
score, PANSS positive subscale score, and PANSS negative subscale score.

Published: January 2025

AbstractPrimary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is associated with a high risk of hepatobiliary
malignancy, especially cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). There are no good tumor markers to screen
for CCA, and current recommendations for PSC monitoring are mainly based on expert opinions.
The optimal strategy to assess disease progression and screen for CCA – the main cause of
death of PSC patients – remains unclear. We aimed to compare three different surveillance
strategies and their effect on patient outcomes.Data from three distinct PSC cohorts with different surveillance strategies – scheduled endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), annual magnetic resonance imaging/cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) surveillance, and on-demand ERCP according to ESGE/EASL guidelines – was collected. Patients with PSC diagnosed in 1990 or later were included and the last day of follow-up was 31 December 2023. The composite end point consisted of hepatobiliary malignancy, liver transplantation, or liver-related death.1629 PSC patients were included, with a median follow-up of 8–11 years. The cumulative incidence of the composite end point was lowest in the group undergoing scheduled ERCP (14.1%, 95%CI 12.0%–16.4%) and highest in the on-demand ERCP cohort (35.0%, 95%CI 28.4%–42.0%). Although the cumulative incidence of CCA was lower in the scheduled ERCP group than in the other groups, it did not differ statistically significantly from the MRI/MRCP surveillance group. No differences were seen in liver-related deaths between the surveillance strategies.In this study comparing scheduled ERCP, annual MRI/MRCP surveillance, and on-demand ERCP, the strategy based on scheduled ERCP using individual risk stratification is associated with better overall prognosis and outcome.

Published: January 2025

AbstractEndovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms, offering a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery. However, successful outcomes depend on meticulous patient selection. This review explores the key criteria for patient eligibility, including aneurysm size, morphology, and the quality of the proximal and distal aneurysm necks. Additionally, imaging assessment and various device variables, including anatomical suitability, are examined to emphasize their influence on procedural success. As EVAR technology evolves, understanding the nuances of patient selection remains crucial for maximizing technical success and clinical outcomes, while minimizing complications including endoleaks and migration, and extending the benefits of the procedure to a broader range of patients.
A Simplified Working Classification for Planning and Management of Facial Fractures
Authors: Sharma Mukesh K. , Saini Rahul , Boyidi Bulli B. , Babu Vaddi S. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractFacial fractures are commonly encountered by plastic and maxillofacial surgeons. Although very diversified in nature, their treatment planning requires a thorough knowledge of the facial anatomy and advanced treatment modalities. With the advent of three-dimensional computed tomography, it has become a lot easier to diagnose and treat them accordingly. It is important to categorize facial fractures for an effective liaison between the radiologists, surgeons, and medical staff involved in their management. Various classification schemes have been made to classify them, but they are cumbersome to remember and communicate among treating doctors. We present a new yet simple facial fracture classification that is based on the facial buttresses involved. This helps in better and uniform management of fracture patterns and also anticipates future complications that may arise from such fractures, if any.
Factors influencing student interest in STEM careers: motivational, cognitive, and socioeconomic status

Published: January 2025

Abstract
There is a disparity between the number of graduates and the demand for professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related fields globally. This gap underscores the importance of understanding and addressing the factors that drive student interest in the STEM career. Consequently, the education sector around the world is increasingly focused on identifying and improving these influencing factors to better align educational outcomes with the needs of the STEM industry. Thus, this study examined the cognitive (mathematics knowledge, science knowledge, and academic achievement), motivational (self-efficacy and outcome expectation), and socioeconomic status (parents’ education and family income) factors involved in predicting student interest in pursuing STEM careers. The data were conducted from tests, questionnaires, and documents from grade 10 and 11 students (n = 738) in Indonesia. In addition, two theoretical models (i.e., Models 1 and 2) were developed and were tested using structural equation modeling. The results showed that both models met the required standards for good fit, but Model 2 fit the data better overall, while Model 1 was only slightly below the ideal range for one measure (RMSEA). We found that motivational and cognitive factors were crucial predictors in shaping student interest in general STEM and STEM discipline–specific fields. A strong indirect effect was found in the relationship between self-efficacy and career interest through the outcome expectation factor, and the indirect effect of mathematics and science knowledge on interest in STEM careers through academic achievement is an important concern. Similar and different factors are discussed in terms of student interest in general STEM-related fields and STEM discipline–specific careers.

Published: January 2025

This article presents an experimental setup capable of providing high spatial and temporal resolution measurements of neutral gas puff injection using a glow discharge to excite the neutral gas and an ultra-high-speed camera to record the emitted light. Using the proposed setup, the shape and propagation velocity of a thermal deuterium gas puff at 1 bar have been measured. The cloud has a conical shape and a propagation velocity of vprop = 1870 ± 270 m/s. Furthermore, a code has been developed with the aim of studying the relation between the propagation velocity and the initial injection velocity of the gas. The simulations show that an initial injection velocity in the range of vinj ∼ 1650–1950 m/s can reproduce a propagation velocity of vprop = 1870 ± 270 m/s.

Authors: Canuto Condy , Willis Jon , Debattista Joseph , Dean Judith A. , Ward James 
Published: January 2025

Background This study describes chlamydia and gonorrhoea testing, positivity, treatment, and retesting among individuals aged ≥15 years attending an urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service during the period 2016–2021. Method Utilising routinely collected clinical data from the ATLAS program (a national sentinel surveillance network), a retrospective time series analysis was performed. The study assessed testing rates, positivity, treatment efficacy, retesting and trends over time within an urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service. Results Testing rates for chlamydia and gonorrhoea varied between 10 and 30% over the study period, and were higher among clients aged 15–29 years and among females. Positivity rates for both infections varied by age, with clients aged 15–24 years having higher positivity than older clients. Gonorrhoea positivity rates decreased after 2016. Treatment and retesting practices also showed sex disparities, with men having a slightly higher treatment rate within 7 days, whereas females had significantly higher retesting rates within 2–4 months, indicating differences in follow-up care between sexes. Conclusion The study emphasises the need for clinical and public health interventions within urban Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations to further reduce chlamydia and gonorrhoea. Prioritising improved access to testing, timely treatment and consistent retesting can significantly contribute to lowering STI prevalence and enhancing sexual health outcomes in these communities.

Published: January 2025

Background To gain an understanding of chlamydia (CT) and gonorrhoea (NG) testing conducted within an annual health check (AHC) and in standard clinical consultations for clients aged 15–29 years attending an urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service in the period 2016–2021. Methods De-identified electronic medical record data were extracted and analysed on CT and NG testing by sex, age, Indigenous status and the context of testing (conducted within an AHC or not). An access, testing, and diagnosis cascade for CT and NG, inclusive of an AHC, was constructed. Results Combined testing within an AHC and outside an AHC for CT and NG ranged between 30 and 50%, except for the year 2021. Males were twice as likely to receive a CT and NG test within an AHC consultation as females. Females were almost equally likely to have a CT and NG test, both as part of an AHC consult and during other clinical consultations. Females had the highest CT positivity in 2018 (11%) and 2019 (11%), with a dip in 2020 (5%), whereas NG diagnoses remained stable at 2%. Conclusion The study demonstrates the potential of the AHC to facilitate greater coverage of CT and NG testing in an urban Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service. Screening conducted within an AHC alongside screening in clinical consultations might be enough to reduce CT prevalence over a sustained period.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Ohmic contacts to wide bandgap nitrides have been realised, but little is known about their behaviour at low temperatures. To address this, an established Ti/Al/Ti/Au contact stack on AlGaN/GaN heterostructures has been characterised from 320 to 80 K. Two structures were investigated, with very similar ambient 2D electron gas transport characteristics despite their difference in AlGaN barrier thickness and composition. This allowed for direct comparison of contact behaviour across different heterostructures. Upon annealing at <800 °C for samples with 29 nm AlGaN barriers, contacts which had Ohmic characteristics at room temperature exhibited a gradual onset of Schottky behaviour as the measurement temperature was lowered. When non-Ohmic behaviour was observed, a combination of direct tunnelling, Fowler–Nordheim tunnelling and a thermally assisted Fowler–Nordheim mechanism is suggested to describe the carrier transport. In this case, annealing at 800 °C for 30 s proved sufficient to ensure Ohmic behaviour when tested from 320 to 80 K. For a heterostructure with 8 nm AlGaN, the required annealing temperature to maintain consistent Ohmic behaviour across the temperature range was reduced to 750 °C. From these observations, the determining factor for Ohmic behaviour is suggested to be the thickness of the AlGaN barrier–either as-grown, or the effective thickness following the formation of TiN protrusions into the AlGaN barrier during annealing. The understanding provided here allows tailoring of either the processing conditions or the heterostructure, and may aid with design of novel devices for low temperature operation.
EMF-PAL: enhanced multi-sensor fusion algorithm for high-precision perception and localization in challenging environments
Authors: Dai Jun , Lei Yingying , Li Yanqin , Zhao Junwei , Hanajima Naohiko 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study proposes an enhanced multi-sensor fusion perception and localization algorithm named EMF-PAL, which leverages the strengths of three distinct sensor types to achieve high-precision localization. The algorithm employs a lightweight object detection network to extract semantic information from the environment, which is combined with feature points obtained through parallel bidirectional optical flow tracking. A dual-strategy approach is introduced to identify reliable static feature points, enabling accurate pose estimation. Sensor data is dynamically updated using factor graph optimization to ensure accurate and continuous real-time localization. In the feature preprocessing module, the lightweight object detection algorithm is integrated with Shi-Tomasi corner detection to provide prior information for subsequent object recognition and filtering. Additionally, the high-precision inertial measurement unit (IMU) supplies translation and rotation data, enabling short-term, high-accuracy positioning and motion compensation, effectively reducing misclassification during rapid movements. The Global Navigation Satellite System-Real-time Kinematic provides all-weather, drift-free global localization information without the need for additional transformations, further enhancing the factor graph optimization for position updates and supplying auxiliary data to the IMU. EMF-PAL maximizes the advantages of multiple sensors, making it well-suited for complex environments. Extensive comprehensive experimental validation using real outdoor environment sequences under different environmental conditions is conducted to demonstrate the real-time accuracy of EMF-PAL and its ability to cope with complex environments. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method enhances localization accuracy by up to 50.3% in challenging outdoor environments compared to state-of-the-art algorithms utilizing three-sensor fusion, effectively fulfilling the localization and perception requirements of real-world applications.

Authors: Xiong Chengyue , Guo Lei , Liu Zunhao , Li Rui , Peng Qing 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The irradiation resistance behavior of Co-free high-entropy alloy FeMnNiCr under successive bombardment is investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations. There are much less residual defects in FeMnNiCr referring to Ni after prolonged irradiation and large-size defect clusters are observed in FCC Ni but not FeMnNiCr. The formation and growth of dislocations in FeMnNiCr are significantly suppressed. The migration barriers of interstitials are similar to these of vacancies in FeMnNiCr, resulting in a higher efficiency of defect recombination. The defects in Co-free FeMnNiCr show similar trends with NiCoCrFeMn and NiCoCrFe during the irradiation process, suggesting its good potential in nuclear structure materials applications.
Spin-dependent localization of spin–orbit and Rabi-coupled Bose–Einstein condensates in a random potential

Published: January 2025

Abstract
We investigate the effect of the spin–orbit (SO) and Rabi couplings on the localization of the spin-1/2 condensate trapped in a one-dimensional random potential. Our studies reveal that the spin-dependent couplings create distinct localization regimes, resulting in various relations between localization and spin-related properties. First, we examine the localization in the linear condensate and find that the SO coupling can lead to a transition of the localized state from the ‘basin-like’ to the ‘void’ region of the potential. For a weak random potential upon an increase in the SO coupling, we find a re-entrant transition from a broad to narrow localized state and back at a higher SO coupling. Further, we analyze the competing role of inter-species and intra-species interactions on the localization of the condensate. We find the appearance of spin-dependent localization as the interactions increase beyond threshold values for a sufficiently strong disorder. Our findings on controlling spin-dependent localization may be useful for future ultracold atomic experiments and corresponding spin-related quantum technologies.
Enhancing the RF performance at the nanoscale using double gate ferroelectric field effect transistor
Authors: Kumar Avinash , Raj Balwinder 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This work presents a proposed double-gate ferroelectric field-effect transistor with junctionless accumulation mode. Simulations with the TCAD Silvaco ATLAS simulator evaluate its characteristics regarding RF/analog needs for different channel lengths. The DG-FeFET configuration generates significant analog metrics, including transfer characteristics, output characteristics, transconductance (gm), switching ratio, intrinsic gain (AV), output conductance (gd), cut-off frequency and early voltage (VEA) etc Using the proposed structure, the parameters like gm, ION/IOFF, Av, and TGF, etc have improved by more than 50%, 16–82%, 52.2%, and 50.83%, respectively. As a result, it has been discovered that, in comparison to junctionless accumulation mode ferroelectric FET (JAM-FE-FET) and junctionless ferroelectric FET (JL-FE-FET), the double gate ferroelectric FET (DG-FeFET) topology enhances analog and RF performance. Because of this, the DG-FeFET device shown here is an excellent choice for high-frequency systems.

Abstract
One of the most most popular foods in the community is noodles. In the noodle processing process, poor design and work systems can increase the workload of machine operators. This study uses heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring to examine the workload of noodle machine operators. The operator’s heart rate was measured using a Garmin Pro device during each stage of the noodle moulding process: preparation, operation, and finishing. Software Kubios HRV Standard 3.5.0 was used to process the data, and the analysis parameters that were used were SDNN, RMSSD, LF, HF, and LF/HF. The data processing results show that the preparation stage bears the heaviest workload, as evidenced by the lowest average values of SDNN, RMSSD, and HF. Conversely, the operation stage shows the lightest workload, reflected by the highest average values of SDNN, RMSSD, and HF.
