Published: October 2023

AbstractIn 2018, there was a hepatitis A outbreak in Japan, and hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is considered a sexually transmitted disease. In general, patients with hepatitis A should be given attention, and this disease should be prevented more than ever. The Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) Hepatitis A and E viruses (HAV and HEV) Study Group has worked on the project to create “Recent Advances in Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) Research and Clinical Practice Guidelines for HAV Infection in Japan”. The group consists of expert hepatologists and virologists who gathered at virtual meeting on August 5, 2023. Data about the pathogenesis, infection routes, diagnosis, complications, several factors for the severities, vaccination, and current and future treatments for hepatitis A were discussed and debated for a draft version. The participants assessed the quality of cited studies. The finalized recommendations are presented in this review. The recent advances in HAV research and clinical practice for HAV infection in Japan, have been reviewed by the AMED HAV and HEV Study Group.
‘We have no services for you… so you have to make the best out of it’: A qualitative study of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients’ dissatisfaction with healthcare services
Authors: Melby Line , Nair Roshan das 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIntroductionPeople should have access to healthcare services that are effective, safe and secure, patient‐centred, and coordinated and continuous. One group that has consistently reported negative experiences and feels dissatisfied with services are patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The objective of this study was to develop a deeper understanding of the experiences of dissatisfaction among ME/CFS patients and explore the reasons for such dissatisfaction.MethodsWe conducted in‐depth interviews with 48 people from 24 households (comprising patients and family members), providing insight into the experiences of 37 ME/CFS sufferers in Norway. The participants were purposively sampled and included persons of different ages, genders, time since having the condition (3–30 years), and severity.ResultsFour main themes were developed: (1) ‘Nonexistent services’ cover patients’ experience that healthcare services had nothing to offer them after receiving their ME/CFS‐diagnosis. (2) ‘Nonpersonalised services’ documents experiences where patients did receive services, which in theory was appropriate for relieving a specific health problem, but in practice were experienced as inappropriate because they were not adapted to the patient's need. (3) ‘Slow services’ address patients’ experience of getting services too late (or too little) to be useful. (4) ‘Wrong services’ comprise patients’ experiences of being offered and/or ‘forced’ to accept services that they felt were inappropriate for their health problems.ConclusionsProviders’ lacking knowledge of the condition and lack of precise recommendations for follow up may partly explain unsatisfactory experiences. Providers’ belief (or disbelief) in the condition could furthermore influence caregiving. Also, systemic issues in the healthcare sector, like high workloads and bureaucracy, can negatively affect care provision. Finally, users’ unsatisfactory experiences may also be due to a lack of patient involvement in the design of such services. Further research should investigate how patients can be involved in service design, and also providers’ perspectives on caregiving and the barriers they experience for providing high‐quality care.Patient or Public ContributionThe ME‐patient organisation suggested research topics to the call from which this study got funding. Patients and caregivers provided feedback during analysis and interpretation of data.
Effect of radiation therapy during surgery on postoperative wound complications after breast reconstruction in patients with breast cancer: A meta‐analysis

AbstractBreast remodelling is a major therapeutic choice in radical mastectomy. Breast reconstruction is regarded as a promising option for the treatment of breast cancer. The purpose of this meta‐analysis was to investigate the effect of Post mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) on postoperative wound complications in breast carcinoma. A comprehensive review of documents was conducted between the date of establishment and the 28th of August 2023. In all of the trials, patients were treated with breast cancer. The researchers chose 11 publications out of 8068 related studies. Two researchers examined these publications to satisfy the inclusion criteria. Among the 516 patients who had received radiation therapy in the course of the operation, 1772 had not received radiation therapy. The impact of radiation therapy and non‐radiation therapy in breast cancer patients after breast reconstruction was reported in 8 studies, and the incidence of postoperative wound infection in non‐radiation group was significantly lower (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.26–3.02 p = 0.003). In nine studies, There is not considered to have achieved statistical significance between radiation therapy and non‐radiation treatment for post‐operation wound dehiscence in breast cancer patients who had received chemotherapy (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 0.70–3.72 p = 0.27). The results of six trials demonstrated that radiation therapy and non‐radiation therapy had no statistical significance on post‐operation haemorrhage in breast cancer patients (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.42–2.47 p = 0.96). The results of 7 trials demonstrated that radiation therapy and non‐radiation therapy had no significant impact on the post‐operation of skin necrosis (OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 0.66–2.28 p = 0.53). Two trials demonstrated that those without radiation therapy were less likely than those who received radiation therapy in skin contracture in patients (OR, 7.24; 95% CI, 1.80–29.10 p = 0.005). Regarding the incidence of wound infection and cutaneous contraction was higher in the radiation group.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThermal insulation materials can provide thermal protection in extreme environments. Ceramic fibers have played an important role in the thermal protection field at high temperatures due to the advantages of low density, high strength, low thermal conductivity, and excellent thermal stability. In this work, high entropy (Y0.2Sm0.2Gd0.2Er0.2Ho0.2)3NbO7 (5RE3NbO7) nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning and subsequent calcination. Defective fluorite‐structured 5RE3NbO7 nanofibers were obtained when heated at 900°C. The research indicates that 5RE3NbO7 nanofiber based porous ceramics present an ultralow thermal conductivity (0.0992 W/m·K, porosity of 78.18%), good thermal stability, and high spectral reflectance, which establish the foundation for applications in thermal insulation.
Academic nurses' transition across an academic career: A qualitative study
Authors: Barken Tina Lien , Robstad Nastasja 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAimThe aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of nurse academics' experiences with the transition from clinical practice to academia and throughout their whole career trajectory.DesignQualitative study design.MethodsThree focus group interviews with 17 nurse academics employed at a University in Norway were conducted in May and June 2020. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.ResultsNurse academics experienced several diverse career transitions that continued throughout their whole career trajectory, affecting their daily life. Three interconnected themes were identified: ‘clinically confident, yet academically uncertain’, ‘balancing the academic role’ and ‘lost in academic transition’.ConclusionThis study contributes to a deeper understanding of nurse academics' experiences of transitioning into their academic role and identity. Transition was found not as separate occurrences but was described as several ongoing and concurrent processes throughout their whole career trajectory regardless of seniority level or academic experience. These transitions encompass shifts in identity, new responsibilities and increased tasks, yet often occur without adequate support. As a result, nurse academics may lack the essential skills and knowledge of the academic role.ImpactThis study provides insights into nurse academics' transition from clinical practice to academia and throughout their whole career trajectory. This is not a one‐time occurrence but a continuous process that takes place throughout their entire career trajectory. This transition is embedded within a complex environment that requires careful consideration and attention. To address challenges regarding career transitions for nurse academics, universities should provide more training and preparation opportunities for all nurse academics when facing different career transitions.Reporting MethodConsolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.
The Present Functions and the Future Persistence of Planning Agency
Authors: Ferrero Luca 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACTFollowing Bratman, I distinguish between the Cummins or component‐function of the planning capacity (its role as a component of larger forms of practical organizations) and its Wright or existence‐function – the planning capacity's effect that explains its existence. I agree with Bratman that these functions are distinct. The planning capacity's role within larger practical organizations need not explain its origin. But I argue that the distinction is less stark for future‐oriented existence‐functions, which concern the future persistence and stability of the capacity. In mature practical organizations, component‐functions usually give rise to matching future‐oriented existence‐functions, given that pressures for the persistence of practical organizations transfer to their components (such as the planning capacity) because of their component‐functions. But in the special case of individual temporally extended agency, there is an even stronger alignment of functions. The planning capacity and individual temporally extended agency are part of an inextricable package. The capacity is not just a distinct component. This entails that, within individual agency, the two functions merge and the planning capacity is the primary rather than the derivative target of pressures of persistence, care, and value. Or so I speculatively conjecture.
Understanding the influence of medical education on physician geographic disposition: A qualitative study of family physician perspectives in Canada

Published: October 2023

AbstractRationalePrimary care access challenges are experienced by many communities. In several jurisdictions, including Canada, family physicians (FP) have the professional autonomy to organize their practice in alignment with professional and personal interests. Although system‐level interventions are tremendously important, investment in upstream interventions associated with the medical education of graduating FPs is a promising strategy for ameliorating primary healthcare access challenges.Aims and ObjectivesThis study investigates the medical education experiences that influence FP's decisions about practice locations in Canada.MethodsWe conducted semistructured interviews with FPs who completed undergraduate and postgraduate medical training in Canada and now have a practice in Ontario, Canada. Interview data were coded and analysed using an unconstrained descriptive approach.ResultsFPs preferred practice locations are intimately tied to their desired practice scope. Practice preferences were shaped through training experiences with patient populations, heightened clinical responsibilities, practice models and locations, professional mentorships and networks. Proximity to family, partner and lifestyle preferences, cultural connections and the available practice opportunities also shaped practice location decisions.ConclusionMedical education influences the identification and refinement of professional family practice preferences. Health workforce policies and interventions should leverage medical education to promote more equitable primary healthcare access.
Staining protocols affect use of otolith to estimate the demography of the damselfish sergeant major (Abudefduf vaigiensis)

Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study assessed the otolith (sagittae, lapilli, and asterisci) increment deposition rate in the range‐shifting damselfish, A. vaigiensis, using different concentrations of Alizain Red S and evaluated the impact of staining on increment width. Daily increment deposition was verified in all otolith types and presented clearer fluorescent markings in the lapilli and sagittae than the asterisci, with high stain concentration showing the best clarity. Higher stain concentrations were found to decrease increment width, suggesting care is needed when using stained otoliths as a proxy for growth for this species.

AbstractA swim tunnel is to fish as a treadmill is to humans, and is a device used for indirect measuring of the metabolic rate. This study aims to explore the fish stress (if any) during the critical swimming test routines (fish handling, confinement, and swimming) using heart rate (fH, heartbeat per minute) bio‐loggers in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). In addition, the recovery dynamics of exercised fish using fH were explored for 48 h post swim tests. Continuous fH data were acquired following the surgical implantation and throughout the trials, such as during fish handling, swim tests (critical swimming speed, Ucrit), and 48 h post swim tests. After 3 weeks of surgical recovery, fH stabilized at 46.20 ± 1.26 beats min−1, equalizing a ~38% reduction in fH recorded post‐surgical tachycardia (74.13 ± 1.44 beats min−1). Interestingly, fH was elevated by ~200% compared to baseline levels not only due to the Ucrit (92.04 ± 0.23 beats min−1) but also due to fish handling and confinement in the swim tunnel, which was 66% above the baseline levels (77.48 ± 0.34 beats min−1), suggesting fish stress. Moreover, significantly higher plasma cortisol levels (199.56 ± 77.17 ng mL−1) corresponding to a ~300% increase compared to baseline levels (47.92 ± 27.70 ng mL−1) were identified after Ucrit, predicting post‐swim test stress (physiological exhaustion). These findings reinforce the importance of fish acclimation in the swim tunnel prior to the swimming tests. However, fH dropped over the course of the 48‐h post‐swim test, but remained comparatively higher than the basal levels, suggesting fish should be given at least 48 h to recover from handling stress for better fish welfare. This study further explored the influence of fish tagging on Ucrit, which resulted in reduced swimming capabilities of tagged fish (1.95 ± 0.37 body lengths s−1) compared to untagged fish (2.54 ± 0.42 body length s−1), although this was not significant (p = 0.06), and therefore future tagging studies are warranted.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into academic research writing has revolutionized the field, offering powerful tools like ChatGPT and Bard to aid researchers in content generation and idea enhancement. We explore the current state of transparency regarding generative AI use in nursing academic research journals, emphasizing the need for explicitly declaring the use of generative AI by authors in the manuscript. Out of 125 nursing studies journals, 37.6% required explicit statements about generative AI use in their authors' guidelines. No significant differences in impact factors or journal categories were found between journals with and without such requirement. A similar evaluation of medicine, general and internal journals showed a lower percentage (14.5%) including the information about generative AI usage. Declaring generative AI tool usage is crucial for maintaining the transparency and credibility in academic writing. Additionally, extending the requirement for AI usage declarations to journal reviewers can enhance the quality of peer review and combat predatory journals in the academic publishing landscape. Our study highlights the need for active participation from nursing researchers in discussions surrounding standardization of generative AI declaration in academic research writing.
Occurrence of wilt disease caused by Fusarium proliferatum on carnation in Türkiye
Authors: Cer Ceren , Benlioglu Seher 
Published: October 2023

AbstractDuring the survey in greenhouse‐cut flower carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) areas in Izmir, wilted carnation samples were collected from 92 greenhouses. A total of 95 Fusarium spp. isolates were obtained from carnation greenhouses, 80 had been identified as Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. dianthi and published earlier, while the remaining 15 were identified as Fusarium proliferatum (Fp) based on morphological and molecular analysis using TEF1‐α gene sequences in this study. The prevalence of wilting disease of carnation caused by Fp was estimated to be 16.3% of the total area. Pathogenicity tests were conducted by dipping the carnation roots (cv. Turbo) in a spore suspension of monoconidial isolates and transplanting them into pots. Pathogenicity studies confirmed the ability of all Fp to cause symptoms of wilting, leaves and stems shriving. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences from the translation elongation factor 1α (TEF‐1 α) region of the 15 Fp isolates obtained from carnation formed a large clade of isolates originating from carnation and a wide range of other hosts in different geographical locations worldwide. To our knowledge, this is the first report of F. proliferatum causing wilt disease of carnation based on molecular identification in Türkiye.

SummaryLight triggers numerous non‐image‐forming, or non‐visual, biological effects. The brain correlates of these non‐image‐forming effects have been investigated, notably using magnetic resonance imaging and short light exposures varying in irradiance and spectral quality. However, it is not clear whether non‐image‐forming responses estimation may be biased by having light in sequential blocks, for example, through a potential carryover effect of one light onto the next. We reasoned that pupil light reflex was an easy readout of one of the non‐image‐forming effects of light that could be used to address this issue. We characterised the sustained pupil light reflex in 13–16 healthy young individuals under short light exposures during three distinct cognitive processes (executive, emotional and attentional). Light conditions pseudo‐randomly alternated between monochromatic orange light (0.16 melanopic equivalent daylight illuminance lux) and polychromatic blue‐enriched white light of three different levels (37, 92, 190 melanopic equivalent daylight illuminance lux). As expected, higher melanopic irradiance was associated with larger sustained pupil light reflex in each cognitive domain. This result was stable over the light sequence under higher melanopic irradiance levels compared with lower ones. Exploratory frequency‐domain analyses further revealed that sustained pupil light reflex was more variable under lower melanopic irradiance levels. Importantly, sustained pupil light reflex varied across tasks independently of the light condition, pointing to a potential impact of light history and/or cognitive context on sustained pupil light reflex. Together, our results emphasise that the distinct contribution and adaptation of the different retinal photoreceptors influence the non‐image‐forming effects of light and therefore potentially their brain correlates.
Increasing fibre in white flour and bread: Implications for health and processing

Published: October 2023

AbstractDietary fibre is beneficial for human health, but dietary intakes are below recommended levels in most countries. Cereals are the major source of dietary fibre in Western diets, with bread providing about 20% of the daily intake in the United Kingdom. Despite the promotion of fibre‐rich wholegrain products, white bread (which has a lower fibre content) remains dominant in many countries due to cultural preferences. Increasing the fibre content of white bread and other products made from white flour is therefore an attractive strategy for increasing fibre intake. This can be achieved by exploiting genetic variation in wheat without major effects on the processing quality or the consumer acceptability of products. Modelling data for food consumption in the United Kingdom shows that increasing the fibre content of white flour by 50% (from about 4% to 6% dry weight) and in wholegrain by 20% will increase total fibre intake by 1.04 g/day and 1.41 g/day in adult females and males, respectively. Furthermore, in vitro studies indicate that the increased fibre content of white bread should reduce the rate of starch digestion and glucose release in the human gastrointestinal tract.

Published: October 2023

AbstractImmune‐mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy characterized by limb weakness, markedly elevated serum creatine kinase (CK), and muscle fiber necrosis without lymphocytic infiltration. Here, we present a case of IMNM that developed during pregnancy. The patient was treated immediately with systemic corticosteroids, and muscle weakness and serum CK levels were improved without adverse effects on the pregnancy. As there are only a few reports of IMNM during pregnancy, the clinical course and treatment of IMNM during pregnancy are discussed with a review of the literature.
