Methods for using Bing's AI‐powered search engine for data extraction for a systematic review
Authors: Hill James Edward , Harris Catherine , Clegg Andrew 
Published: December 2023

AbstractData extraction is a time‐consuming and resource‐intensive task in the systematic review process. Natural language processing (NLP) artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have the potential to automate data extraction saving time and resources, accelerating the review process, and enhancing the quality and reliability of extracted data. In this paper, we propose a method for using Bing AI and Microsoft Edge as a second reviewer to verify and enhance data items first extracted by a single human reviewer. We describe a worked example of the steps involved in instructing the Bing AI Chat tool to extract study characteristics as data items from a PDF document into a table so that they can be compared with data extracted manually. We show that this technique may provide an additional verification process for data extraction where there are limited resources available or for novice reviewers. However, it should not be seen as a replacement to already established and validated double independent data extraction methods without further evaluation and verification. Use of AI techniques for data extraction in systematic reviews should be transparently and accurately described in reports. Future research should focus on the accuracy, efficiency, completeness, and user experience of using Bing AI for data extraction compared with traditional methods using two or more reviewers independently.
Anomalous, dielectrophoretic transport of molecules in non‐electrolytes

Published: December 2023

The electric field (E‐field) dielectric polarization‐based separations mechanism represents a novel method for separating solutions at small length scales. An E‐field gradient with a maximum strength of 0.4 MV/m applied across a 10 μm deep channel is shown to increase the concentration inside the low E‐field region by ≈ 40% relative to the high E‐field region. This concentration change is two orders of magnitude higher than the estimated change predicted using the classical equilibrium thermodynamics for the same E‐field. The deviation between the predicted and the experimental results suggests that the change in volumetric E‐field energy with solute concentration is insufficient to explain this phenomenon. The study also explores the effect of varying strength of E‐field and frequency of supplied voltage on the dielectric polarization‐based separation efficiency. While the increase in the former increases the separation efficiency, the increase in the latter reduces the degree of concentration change due to ineffective charging of the electrodes.

ObjectivesPatients with triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibit a fast tumor growth rate and poor survival outcomes. In this study, we aimed to develop and compare intelligent algorithms using ultrasound radiomics features in addition to clinical variables to identify patients with TNBC prior to histopathologic diagnosis.MethodsWe used single‐center, retrospective data of patients who underwent ultrasound before histopathologic verification and subsequent neoadjuvant systemic treatment (NAST). We developed a logistic regression with an elastic net penalty algorithm using pretreatment ultrasound radiomics features in addition to patient and tumor variables to identify patients with TNBC. Findings were compared to the histopathologic evaluation of the biopsy specimen. The main outcome measure was the area under the curve (AUC).ResultsWe included 1161 patients, 813 in the development set and 348 in the validation set. Median age was 50.1 years and 24.4% (283 of 1161) had TNBC. The integrative model using radiomics and clinical information showed significantly better performance in identifying TNBC compared to the radiomics model (AUC: 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.65–0.76 versus 0.64, 95% CI: 0.57–0.71, P = .004). The five most important variables were cN status, shape surface volume ratio (SA:V), gray level co‐occurrence matrix (GLCM) correlation, gray level dependence matrix (GLDM) dependence nonuniformity normalized, and age. Patients with TNBC were more often categorized as BI‐RADS 4 than BI‐RADS 5 compared to non‐TNBC patients (P = .002).ConclusionA machine learning algorithm showed promising potential to identify patients with TNBC using ultrasound radiomics features and clinical information prior to histopathologic evaluation.

Published: December 2023

AbstractWater temperature is a key environmental variable in stream ecosystems determining species distribution ranges, community composition, and ecological processes. In addition to global warming, direct anthropogenic impacts, for example through the influx of power plant cooling water or due to sun exposure after the removal of riparian vegetation, result in elevated water temperatures. However, temperature effects in stream ecosystems have mostly been tested in recirculating experimental systems, which can neither capture diurnal and seasonal variability in other environmental variables nor allow for entrainment of stream organisms. In contrast, open flow‐through systems, which are constantly supplied with stream water, offer a more realistic setting for stream ecological experiments, yet are difficult to implement. Here, we outline a heating module for the purpose of differential temperature regulation in a flow‐through mesocosm system by automatic control of warm water supply. We validated the functionality of the module in indoor trials as well as in an outdoor ExStream experimental mesocosm system. Furthermore, we tested the implications of different warm water temperatures for the survival of invertebrates drifting through the heating module to derive recommendations for the maximum warm water temperature for mixing with the natural water inflow. The module allows for controlled open flow‐through experiments in the field and the key components are flexible and scalable. Therefore, the module can be easily integrated into existing experimental flow‐through setups.

Published: December 2023

AbstractCircularly polarized light has the potential to significantly impact light–matter interactions and offers new opportunities and progresses for breakthroughs in various fields. Programming circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with both multiple colors and high luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) is a fantastic technique for photonic applications, such as information coding, high‐dimensional transmission, and CPL display. However, it is still a formidable challenge to balance the coupling between photonic bandgap (PBG) and material‐induced luminescence for achieving multi‐color CPL with high glum. Here a unique microcavity technology is reported that simultaneously allows for high glum and dual‐color when the broad PBG entirely overlaps the fluorescence peak and the bandedge is maintained within the fluorescent range. Benefitting from the programmable dual‐color CPL with tunable glum, an electric field‐responsive CPL display with contrast ratios up to 34:1 is successfully implemented. Furthermore, a multichannel switchable encoder prototype integrated with CPL is established to analogize an information encoding and multichannel transmission in a more convenient and less costly way. This work presents a novel platform for investigating chiral photonics and facilitates a deeper comprehension of light‐matter interactions in microcavity.

AbstractBackgroundMSX1 (OMIM #142983) is crucial to normal dental development, and variants in MSX1 are associated with dental anomalies. The objective of this study was to characterize the pathogenicity of novel MSX1 variants in Chinese families with non‐syndromic oligodontia (NSO).MethodsGenomic DNA was extracted from individuals representing 35 families with non‐syndromic oligodontia and was analyzed by Sanger sequencing and whole‐exome sequencing. Pathogenic variants were screened via analyses involving PolyPhen‐2, Sorting‐Intolerant from Tolerant, and MutationTaster, and conservative analysis of variants. Patterns of MSX1‐related NSO were analyzed. MSX1 structural changes suggested functional consequences in vitro.ResultsThree previously unreported MSX1 heterozygous variants were identified: one insertion variant (c.576_577insTAG; p.Gln193*) and two missense variants (c. 871T>C; p.Tyr291His and c. 644A>C; p.Gln215Pro). Immunofluorescence analysis revealed abnormal subcellular localization of the p.Gln193* MSX1 variant. In addition, we found that these MSX1 variants likely lead to the loss of second premolars.ConclusionThree novel MSX1 variants were identified in Chinese Han families with NSO, expanding the MSX1 variant spectrum and presenting a genetic origin for the pathogenesis detected in patients and their families.
Backfire dipole antenna with nearly equal E‐/H‐plane patterns enabled by hyperbola‐intersected elliptical reflector under triple‐mode resonance
Authors: Tian Zhen , Zong Jia‐Peng , Lu Wen‐Jun , Zhu Lei 
Published: December 2023

AbstractA design approach to multimode resonant, backfire dipole antenna with nearly equal E‐/H‐plane patterns is proposed in this letter. The antenna is comprised by a 1.5‐wavelength sectorial dipole, a hyperbola‐intersected elliptical primary reflector, and an elliptical subreflector. By adjusting the size and shape of the intersected‐hyperbola elliptical reflector and the position of the tangentially loaded stubs, the nearly equal E‐/H‐plane bandwidth (i.e., equal‐beamwidth bandwidth) of the antenna can be manipulated to coincide with its impedance bandwidth. As has been validated, the antenna exhibits an octave impedance bandwidth from 1.61 to 3.26 GHz (67.8% for |S11| < −10 dB), which is identical to its equal‐beamwidth bandwidth. The average half‐power beam width is around 63°/65° in E‐/H‐plane, and the average backfire gain is 8.8 dBi.
Nutrition care for the adult post–intestinal transplant patient

Published: December 2023

AbstractIntestinal transplantation has emerged as an accepted treatment choice for individuals experiencing irreversible intestinal failure. This treatment is particularly relevant for those who are not candidates or have poor response to autologous gut reconstruction or trophic hormone therapy, and who can no longer be sustained on parenteral nutrition. One of the main goals of transplant is to eliminate the need for parenteral support and its associated complications, while safely restoring complete nutrition autonomy. An intestinal transplant is a complex process that goes beyond merely replacing the intestines to provide nourishment and ceasing parenteral support. It requires an integrated management approach in the pretransplant and posttransplant setting, and high‐quality nutrition treatment is one of the cornerstones leading to favorable outcomes and long‐term management. Since the outset of intestinal transplant in the early 2000s, there is observed improvement of achieving nutrition autonomy sooner in the initial posttransplant phase; however, the development of nutrition complications in the chronic posttransplant period remains a long‐term risk. This review delineates the decision‐making process and clinical protocols used to nutritionally manage and monitor pre– and post–intestine transplant patients.

Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundHabitual behaviors, rather than goal‐oriented behaviors, mainly characterize drinking patterns in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). However, few studies have focused on the influence of drinking behavior on AUD relapse. This prospective study examined associations between drinking behavior patterns and alcohol‐use relapse using the 20‐item questionnaire for drinking behavior patterns (DBP‐20).MethodsWe enrolled patients with AUD and compared the cohort's demographic data and 6‐month outcomes based on the DBP‐20 and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test between two groups (alcohol use relapse vs. abstinence). We also assessed the results for significant factors related to relapse.ResultsWe included 105 patients with AUD. More patients in the relapse group (n = 63) were active smokers and lived alone, while fewer took medication with cyanamide or disulfiram than those in the abstinence group (n = 42). The DBP‐20 automaticity subscale score was higher in the relapse group than that in the abstinence group. Current smoker, living alone, and automatic drinking habits were significantly associated with AUD relapse.ConclusionsAutomaticity may be a risky drinking behavior that leads to future relapse in patients with AUD, justifying behavioral strategies to combat automatic drinking for relapse prevention.
Feasibility, usability, and acceptability of psychoeducational videoconferencing interventions for informal caregivers: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Sang Elaine , Hirschman Karen B. , Bowles Kathryn H. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractPsychoeducational videoconferencing interventions bypass traditional in‐person barriers to attendance and are effective in improving caregiving skills, self‐care, and wellness among informal caregivers. Information on their feasibility, usability, and acceptability from the caregivers' perspective is needed to inform future designs and developments. This systematic review follows PRISMA 2020 guidelines to integrate this information. Five databases were systematically searched for relevant randomized control trials published between January 2012 and December 2022. Reference lists were cross‐checked for additional studies. Relevant studies were appraised and had their data extracted. This review contains 14 randomized controlled trials. Retention rates ranged from 55.56% to 100%, and major reasons for withdrawing include deteriorating patient health, lack of interest, and technical difficulties (feasibility). Caregivers found the videoconference technology usable, although participants in one intervention experienced poor connectivity and persistent technical issues (usability). Most caregivers were satisfied with videoconferencing interventions, found their content applicable to their situation, and appreciated their structure (acceptability). Those in videoconferencing group interventions were satisfied with small caregiver group sizes (acceptability). Adding respite care to interventions and incorporating short and regular videoconferencing sessions may improve feasibility. Ensuring small group sizes in videoconferencing group interventions and using participatory design may enhance acceptability. Advocacy is needed for employees identifying as informal caregivers to receive employer support and for quality connectivity within underserved areas. This may improve the feasibility and usability of interventions, allowing caregivers to receive the support they need. In future studies, power analyses and recruiting more caregivers may better assess feasibility.

Published: December 2023

AbstractObjectiveRisks and benefits of experimental fetal therapies can remain uncertain after initial clinical studies, especially long‐term effects. Nevertheless, pregnant individuals may request them, hoping to benefit their future child. Guidance about offering experimental fetal therapies outside research (as “innovative therapy”) is limited, despite their ethical complexity. We propose points for clinicians and reviewers to consider when deciding whether and how to offer experimental fetal therapies as innovative therapies after initial clinical studies.MethodWe used conceptual analysis and a current case to develop points for consideration, grounded in broader debates on innovative therapy and the unique challenges associated with experimental fetal therapies.ResultsClinicians should evaluate whether offering experimental fetal therapies as innovative therapy is appropriate for a pregnant individual and their fetus. The anticipated risk‐benefit ratio for the fetus should be favorable. For the pregnant individual, risks may outweigh benefits, within reasonable limits. Medical resources should be sufficient to ensure appropriate care. Clinicians should support pregnant individuals in making informed choices. Clinicians offering innovative therapies with more than minimal risk should collect and report data on outcomes. Independent review should take place.ConclusionConsidering these points may advance the interests of fetuses, future children, and their families.

Published: December 2023

AbstractThe utilization of plastic waste is another way to protect the ecology and reduce plastic pollution, which researchers and industries have been effectively focusing on for the last decade. Polyethylene terephthalate felt (PETf) is a packaging material abundantly utilized in the automotive sector and is released as waste, and its popularity as an industrial waste necessitates attention to proper disposal. Therefore, the current study utilized waste PETf as a reinforcement (5–15 wt%) for a polypropylene (PP) matrix using various molding approaches, in light of the higher aspect ratio of the fibers. In the first approach, the fibers were extracted from PETf through a mechanical process, and various percentages of PET felt fibers (PETff) were extruded with PP pellets, followed by injection molding. Second, PETf was directly laid on a PP sheet and processed by compression molding. The tensile strength, tensile modulus, and morphological and spectral properties of the fabricated composites were evaluated. Morphological and spectral analyses explain the distribution and interaction of the fibers in the PP matrix. The 10%PETff enhanced the tensile strength and modulus of PP by 37.3% and 52.15%, respectively. Conversely, the 1.5% malic anhydride‐g‐PP (MAPP)‐PP/PETf composites showed similar tensile behavior, with values of approximately 41.53 MPa and 1.6 GPa. In addition, the tensile strength significantly increased by 35.75% with the addition of MAPP. Overall, the current study demonstrates a well‐structured research design that effectively employs waste PETf as reinforcement for PP composites. The mechanical strength of these composites makes them highly versatile and renders them suitable for a wide range of applications, from automotive packaging to the manufacturing of high‐performance automotive components.Highlights
Utilized waste PET as reinforcement for manufacturing of PP composite.
PET and PP interacted in a self‐reinforcing manner.
Injection and compression molding techniques used for PET/PP composites.
Repurposing waste PET by compression molding is eco‐friendly practices.
PET fibers significantly improved mechanical properties of PP composites.
Exotic, traditional and hybrid landscapes: The subtle history of the Iberian Peninsula maize between ‘tradition’ and ‘modernity’
Authors: Gomes Inês , González Remuiñán Alberto , Freire Dulce 
Published: December 2023

Societal Impact StatementMaize is the world's second most important agricultural crop. The cereal was unknown to Europeans before the end of the 15th century, but since its arrival in Europe, it has changed agriculture, food and landscapes. Terraces where maize was cultivated in the Northwest of the Iberian Peninsula contributed to the formation of local cultures and identities. The history of maize and maize landscape are mementos that help to recover traditional practices, fostering identities, and are crucial for the successful implementation of sustainable policies to provide prosperous futures.Summary

Maize (Zea mays L.) in the Iberian Peninsula embodies a history of landscape changes where the concepts of ‘exotic’, ‘traditional’ and ‘hybrid’ help to understand the engagements between landscape, farmers, agronomists (since the 19th and 20th centuries) and seeds. Today, landscapes reveal biophysical and ecological changes that reflect a panoply of intentions. A multitude of agents, and their interactions, acted upon those territories over time.
Using historical sources from the leading institutions dedicated to agricultural research in the Iberian Peninsula, this paper aims to (1) contribute to a better understanding of the maize landscape and culture in the Iberian Peninsula and (2) interrogate how landscape changes (and the landscape history of maize) can frame local or regional heritage and identities reflecting customs or ways of life.
The analysis unveils networks of knowledge, agricultural technologies and seed exchange. Politicians, economists, engineers, agronomists, farmers, governmental officials and agricultural industries planned and transformed traditional rural practices into modern and industrialised ones. Experts and politicians, willing to improve agricultural practices and seeds, using hybrid seeds or building new irrigation systems, led to deep social and landscape changes, allowing maize to cover territories far away from its traditional domains. Moreover, despite farmers' resistance, hybrid maize substituted landraces, eroding agrobiodiversity. Nowadays, the south and east regions of the Iberian Peninsula are the main producers of maize (hybrid), whereas in the Northwest maize is an occasional crop, being replaced by vineyards for economic reasons.
Refugees from Ukraine in Poland—Differentiation of spatial distribution and impact on demographic structures

AbstractIn late February 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine set‐off a tide of refugees heading west. The paper discusses the scale of the refugee flow into Poland, its distribution patterns and its influence on existing demographic structures (both captured at a local LAU 1 scale). By studying refugee flows at three time‐points, the study, on the one hand, offers a dynamic analysis and, on the other, identifies the spatial patterns behind the movements of the successive waves of refugees. Unexpected wave of recent immigration is likely to strengthen the demographic and settlement processes observable in Poland. The above pertains to both the overall concentration in major metropolitan areas, as well as to suburbanisation processes. The areas with the highest depopulation (eastern Poland) have recorded a relatively low influx of refugees. This implies that it cannot be expected that the immigration may be of a compensatory nature and that it will be helpful in making up for structural population losses in such areas.
