Published: December 2023

ObjectiveDecision-making capacity for treatment is impaired in schizophrenia but it remains unknown if schizophrenia affects distinct decision-making capacities differently.MethodsIn this study, we assessed concomitantly two decision-making capacities (i.e., antipsychotic treatment and COVID-19 vaccination) in 27 schizophrenia patients. Sociodemographic variables, psychotic symptoms, global cognition and insight were also assessed.ResultsWe found that among individuals incompetent to consent to antipsychotic treatment, one-third had preserved capacity to consent to vaccination. No significant associations between the two different decision-making capacities were found. Psychotic symptoms and cognition were associated with the capacity to consent to antipsychotic treatment and to vaccination, respectively.ConclusionClinicians should be aware that capacity to consent to treatment is not unidimensional and vary across domains in individuals with schizophrenia. Being incompetent regarding one treatment does not mean to be incompetent for another treatment in this clinical population.

Published: December 2023

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has witnessed widespread infections and variants. Particularly, Tokyo faced the challenge of seven waves of COVID-19, during which government interventions played a pivotal role. Therefore, gaining a comprehensive understanding of government control measures is of paramount importance, which is beneficial for health authorities in the policy development process.MethodOur study analysis the daily change data of the daily COVID-19 infection count in Tokyo from January 16, 2020 to September 30, 2022. We utilized adaptive Fourier decomposition (AFD) for analyzing the temporal trends within COVID-19 data. It extends the conventional AFD approach by constructing new components base on multiple individual components at various time-frequency scales. Furthermore, we conducted Pearson correlation assessments of the first to third-order synthesis results, along with comparative analyses against other signal analysis techniques. Ultimately, these new components are integrated with policy data spanning different time periods for a comprehensive analysis.ResultThe analysis of daily COVID-19 data in Tokyo using AFD reveals how various government policies impacted infection rates across seven distinct fluctuation periods. In the decomposition results, the reduction of business hours policy correlated with high-frequency components in the first four waves, while the low-frequency components for the sixth wave suggested a decline in its relevance. The vaccination policy initially displayed a mid-frequency correlation with the fifth wave and continued with a low-frequency correlation in the last wave. Moreover, our statistical analysis (value of p &lt; 0.05) demonstrated that 75% of the third-order AFD components exhibited significant positive correlations with the original infections, while the correlation coefficients of most components in EMD and VMD did not attain significance.ConclusionIn the time-frequency domain, AFD demonstrates superior performance compared to EMD and VMD in capturing crucial data related to epidemic control measures. The variations in daily COVID-19 infection counts during these seven periods under various policies are evident in distinct third-order AFD components. These findings guide the formulation of future public health policies and social measures.

Published: December 2023

IntroductionImproving swimming performance involves assessments of biomechanical variables of the stroke, and it can be achieved using semi-tethered swimming tests. The aim of this study was thus to investigate the associations between load-velocity (L-V) profiles, from a semi-tethered swimming protocol and race variables in the 100 m and 200 m freestyle events.MethodsEight swimmers completed a L-V profiling protocol consisting of four sprints (25 m, 25 m, 20 m, 15 m) against increasing loads (0.1, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 kg respectively) with complete recovery between repetitions (&gt;5 min). The L-V linear regression was used to estimate maximal velocity (V0) and body mass normalized load (rL0). Race variables such as clean swimming speed (V), stroke rate (SR), distance per cycle (SL) and stroke index (SI) were assessed from video analysis of 100 m and 200 m freestyle events taking place 3–4 days after the L-V protocol.ResultsL-V results showed high levels of speed (mean ± SD: 1.87 ± 0.04 m/s) and heavy maximal relative loads (mean ± SD: 38.5 ± 6.51 as % of body mass). Swimmers also achieved high-level performances in the 100 m (mean ± SD time: 51.95 ± 0.75 s) and the 200 m (mean ± SD time: 113.85 ± 2.67 s). For the 100 m events, the maximal relative load showed strong correlation with performance (r = 0.63) whereas trivial correlation was observed for the 200 m events (r = 0.12). SR on the 100 m and the 200 m also showed very strong association with rL0 (r = 0.83) and a strong association with V0 (r = 0.68) respectively.ConclusionThe relationships between L-V variables and race variables depend on the distance of the event. However, L-V variables seem to be less related to SR and SL evolutions for the 100 m than in the 200 m event. Moreover, L-V profiles tend to be more related to the 100 m than 200 m freestyle performance. L-V profile should be interpreted taking into consideration the specific physiological and biomechanical constraints of the main events of the swimmer.

IntroductionDietary choices serve as a vital and ongoing link between environmental sustainability and human health. This study aimed to assess the consumption behavior of people in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) concerning sustainability and determine factors that contribute to sustainable food choices.MethodsA cross-sectional, web-based study was conducted among adults in the UAE (n = 1,113). Data on participants’ sociodemographic characteristics, attitudes toward sustainable food choices, and reasons behind sustainable food choices were collected. Independent t-test and one-way ANOVA tests were used to investigate the differences in the level of agreement to nine statements about sustainable food choices among different sociodemographic groups on a scale of 1–5 ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Participants’ responses to open-ended questions were filtered and clustered into eight different categories and presented as counts and percentages.Results and discussionParticipants agreed on trying new healthy and environmentally friendly foodstuff (3.57 ± 1.04). Females (p = 0.002) and older adults (&gt;50 years; p = 0.001) showed higher agreement with avoiding red meat. Older participants, and those with higher education (p = 0.020 and p &lt; 0.001, respectively) showed higher agreement with favoring plant-based diets. 21.2% reported avoiding red meat and 23.1% preferred a plant-based diet. Of those who favored plant-based food the main reported reason was ‘health and nutritive value’ (66.5%), while of those who avoided red meat, preference was the most reported reason (41.9%). Although the study sample did not greatly adopt sustainable food choices, they leaned toward trying environmentally friendly foods. Females, older adults, and highly educated people aligned themselves with more sustainable food choices. Targeted policies and the integration of sustainability aspects within dietary guidelines to promote healthy, sustainable, and affordable diets are needed.

Tagetes erecta and Ocimum basilicum are medicinal plants that exhibit anti-inflammatory effects against various diseases. However, their individual and combined effects on osteoarthritis (OA) are unknown. Herein, we aimed to demonstrate the effects of T. erecta, O. basilicum, and their mixture, WGA-M001, on OA pathogenesis. The administration of total extracts of T. erecta and O. basilicum reduced cartilage degradation and inflammation without causing cytotoxicity. Although WGA-M001 contained lower concentrations of the individual extracts, it strongly inhibited the expression of pathogenic factors. In vivo OA studies also supported that WGA-M001 had protective effects against cartilage destruction at lower doses than those of T. erecta and O. basilicum. Moreover, its effects were stronger than those observed using Boswellia and Perna canaliculus. WGA-M001 effectively inhibited the interleukin (IL)-1β-induced nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of the activated B cell (NF-κB) pathway and ERK phosphorylation. Furthermore, RNA-sequence analysis also showed that WGA-M001 decreased the expression of genes related to the IL-1β-induced NF-κB and ERK signaling pathways. Therefore, WGA-M001 is more effective than the single total extracts of T. erecta and O. basilicum in attenuating OA progression by regulating ERK and NF-κB signaling. Our results open new possibilities for WGA-M001 as a potential therapeutic agent for OA treatment.

Capillaroscopic findings in undifferentiated connective tissue disease with Raynaud’s phenomenon
Authors: Lambova Sevdalina , Stoilov Nikolay , Boyadzhieva Vladimira 
Published: December 2023

Background: Undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) is characterized with presence of clinical signs and immunological findings suggestive of connective autoimmune disease, but the criteria for a definite rheumatic disease are not fulfilled. Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) could be found in approximately 50% of cases with UCTD and about half of patients with UCTD and RP exhibit “scleroderma-like” pattern.
The aim of the study: To assess the characteristics of capillaroscopic changes in early UCTD.
Patients and methods: Inclusion criterion for the study was newly diagnosed by rheumatologist, early UCTD in patients with RP. 26 patients were included in the study – 24 females and 2 males, mean age 38±14 years (range 19 – 66 years). Capillaroscopic examination was performed in all patients using USB microscope Dino-Lite. Follow-up was perfomed for a period between 1 and 3.5 years.
Results and discussion: At the time of the initial diagnosis, “scleroderma-like” pattern, “early” phase (giant capillaries, presence of hemorrhages in some cases, preserved distribution, normal capillary density) was found in 17 patients (65%). More advanced capillaroscopic changes including devascularization and derangement were not observed. In 4 patients nonspecific capillaroscopic findings were present (dilated capillaries, hemorrhages, increased tortuousity, elongated capillaries,) and in 5 cases – normal capillaroscopic picture was found. During the follow-up in one patient the diagnosis was revised to systemic lupus erythematous due to newly appeared clinical, laboratory and immunological findings. The normal capillaroscopic pattern was changed to nonspecific findings in this case. Two patients fulfilled the criteria for prescleroderma during the follow-up without skin and visceral involvement. In the rest patients clinical diagnosis and capillaroscopic findings remained unchanged.
Conclusion: In conclusion, “scleroderma” type microangiopathy, “early” phase is a common finding in UCTD with RP, while more advanced microvascular pathology is not usually observed. Stable capillaroscopic pattern during the follow-up correlates with the stable clinical course. Capillaroscopy is a key technique for assessment of RP patients in rheumatology and for early diagnosis of UCTD with peripheral vascular syndrome.
Understanding memory window of ferroelectric field-effect transistor under coexistence of charge trapping and ferroelectric polarization: violation of linear superposition
Authors: Toprasertpong Kasidit , Takenaka Mitsuru , Takagi Shinichi 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Ferroelectric FETs (FeFETs) are nonvolatile memory devices in which the threshold voltage is programmed by the polarization state of the ferroelectric gate insulator. In this study, we theoretically investigate the impact of charge trapping on the ferroelectric memory window by establishing an accurate picture of mechanism determining the threshold voltage. Under the co-existence of ferroelectric polarization and charge trapping, we show that the threshold voltage shift cannot be described by the linear superposition of the ferroelectric-polarization component and the charge-trapping component. We point out that the misuse of the linear superposition can significantly underestimate the trapped charge density in FeFETs, sometimes even by an order of magnitude. The concept of effective dielectric constant determined by both the original dielectric constant and the polarization state is discussed to describe the relation between the threshold voltage shift and trapped charge density in FeFETs.
