Abstract
We experimentally obtained the responses of two personal dosemeters (PDs, D-shuttle and Dose-i) attached on five age-specific phantoms under rotational irradiation geometry, which simulated an environment that was radiologically affected by the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident using of a 137Cs source. Although the PD responses showed an angular phase shift by the PD position on the phantoms, the angular dependence was small when the contamination was widely distributed. The PD responses decreased as much as ~10% with the increase in the phantoms’ body size. Although there were ~17% variations in the PD/ADE (ambient dose equivalent) ratio depending on the different PDs, this variation was due to the fact that D-shuttle was calibrated with the inclusion of a safety margin. The PD/ADE ratios were similar to the effective dose to ADE ratios for corresponding age-specific phantoms. Our results suggest that these two PDs can provide reasonable estimates for age-dependent effective doses.

Abstract
As the power performance of electric vehicles continues to improve, the human body may be exposed to electromagnetic threats in the cabin. This study tested an electric vehicle to analyze the low-frequency magnetic field distribution in the cabin and to assess the safety of human low-frequency magnetic field exposure. A simulation analysis of human electromagnetic exposure was carried out to obtain the magnetic flux density, induced electric field strength and induced current density, and the test results were much lower than the limits specified in GB8702-2014 and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, and the relative error between the simulation results and the test results was &lt;15%. This paper investigates the frequency, driving current, vehicle body material and cable layout to explore the law of human body induced electromagnetic field changing with power cable current, and provides theoretical reference for the design of human body low-frequency magnetic field protection.

Authors: Biederman Stephen , Sadr Nargiza , Qayyum Rehan 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
Effective communication is essential for quality patient care, and paging remains among the most common forms of communication despite the introduction of secure texting platforms. The goal of this project was to use quantitative and qualitative analyses of paging to guide improvements in paging best practices. A retrospective analysis of pages sent over a 7-day period was completed, characterizing the volume, content, and effectiveness of pages both preintervention and 3-month postintervention. The content of each page was categorized into laboratories, medications, vital signs, diet, patient assessment/clinical change, pain, or miscellaneous/other. Effectiveness was based on the following five critical elements: (1) two patient identifiers, (2) the sender's name, (3) the sender's callback number, (4) priority or acuity of the page, and (5) patient-care concern. Pages were considered successful if they contained all the five essential elements. The preintervention results guided interventions. Of 3,483 included pages, 1,806 and 1,677 were sent during the preintervention and postintervention periods, respectively. Adherence to all essential paging elements increased from 15.2% to 40% (p < .001). The largest deficiency was labeling the urgency of a page, which increased from 31.6% to 51.9% (p < .001). Quantitative and qualitative analyses of pages effectively guided this project to increase the standardization of paging.

Authors: Hankey Paul Bryan , Tracy Meghan , Arganbright Jill M. 
Published: October 2023

Purpose of review
The purpose of this review is to summarize new literature regarding the description, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric deep neck abscesses.

Recent findings
Providers should include multi-inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in a differential diagnosis in children suspected of having a retropharyngeal abscess. MRI may guide the proper management of children with deep neck abscesses by more accurately detecting free fluid compared to computed tomography imaging. Factors that may predict the need for surgical management include elevations in white blood cell counts and abscess size more than 3 cm. However, future investigation is necessary to establish consistent guidelines. Medical management is effective in many children, with a new study indicating success using a combination of cefotaxime and rifampicin.

Summary
Anatomical and age-related risk factors predispose children to the development of deep neck abscesses. Findings from recent studies may aid providers in making an accurate diagnosis and providing proper medical or surgical management of children with these infections.

Background.
Cardiac arrest (CA) causes renal ischemia in one-third of brain-dead kidney donors before procurement. We hypothesized that the graft function depends on the time interval between CA and organ procurement.

Methods.
We conducted a retrospective population-based study on a prospectively curated database. We included 1469 kidney transplantations from donors with a history of resuscitated CA in 2015–2017 in France. CA was the cause of death (primary CA) or an intercurrent event (secondary CA). The main outcome was the percentage of delayed graft function, defined by the use of renal replacement therapy within the first week posttransplantation.

Results.
Delayed graft function occurred in 31.7% of kidney transplantations and was associated with donor function, vasopressors, cardiovascular history, donor and recipient age, body mass index, cold ischemia time, and time to procurement after primary cardiac arrest. Short cold ischemia time, perfusion device use, and the absence of cardiovascular comorbidities were protected by multivariate analysis, whereas time <3 d from primary CA to procurement was associated with delayed graft function (odds ratio 1.38).

Conclusions.
This is the first description of time to procurement after a primary CA as a risk factor for delayed graft function. Delaying procurement after CA should be evaluated in interventional studies.

AbstractUnderstanding the mechanical properties and porosity of reproductive tissues is vital for regenerative medicine in tissue engineering. This study investigated the changes in Young’s modulus (YM), storage modulus (E′), loss modulus (E″), and porosity of native and decellularized bovine reproductive tissues during the estrous cycle. Testis tunica albuginea had significantly higher YM, E′, and E″ than the inner testis, indicating greater stiffness and viscoelasticity. Endometrium showed no distinct differences in YM, E′, or E′ across the estrous cycle or between horns. Ovaries exhibited significant variations in YM, E′, E″, and porosity, with higher YM and E′ in the ipsilateral cortex and medulla during the luteal phase. Decellularized ovarian tissues displayed increased porosity. The oviduct displayed no significant differences in YM or E′ in the isthmus, but the contralateral ampulla had reduced YM and E′ in the luteal phase. These findings offer valuable insights into the dynamic mechanical properties and porosity of reproductive tissues, facilitating the development of biomimetic scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.

AbstractPrenatal exposure to alcohol or cannabinoids can produce enduring neurobiological, cognitive, and behavioral changes in the offspring. Furthermore, prenatal co-exposure to alcohol and cannabinoids induces malformations in brain regions associated with reward and stress-related circuitry. This study examined the effects of co-exposure to alcohol and the synthetic cannabinoid (SCB) CP55,940 throughout gastrulation and neurulation in rats on basal corticosterone levels and a battery of behavioral tests during adolescence and alcohol self-administration in adulthood. Importantly, we find that prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) caused lower baseline corticosterone levels in adolescent males and females. Co-exposure to alcohol + CP produced hyperactivity during open field test in males, but not females. During the two-bottle choice alcohol-drinking procedure, prenatal cannabinoid exposed male and female adolescent rats drank more alcohol than their vehicle-exposed controls. In adulthood, female rats treated with prenatal cannabinoid exposure (PCE), showed an overall total increase in alcohol intake during alcohol self-administration; but this was not found in males. When the reinforcer was changed to a 1% sucrose solution, male rats exposed to PCE, showed a reduced self-administration compared to vehicle-exposed males, potentially indicative of an anhedonic response. This lower self-administration persisted when 20% alcohol was reintroduced to the sucrose solution. Lastly, following an abstinence period, there were no changes due to prenatal drug exposure in either males or females. Overall, these data suggest lasting consequences of prenatal alcohol and cannabinoid exposure during adolescence and adulthood in male and female rats.

AbstractThe CRISPR/Cas9 technology is widely used for plant gene editing. In Arabidopsis, the early CRISPR/Cas9 systems using constitutive promoters to driveCas9expression usually have low heritable mutation efficiencies in the T1 generation. Germ cell-specific or cell division-specific promoters, likeEC1.2en-EC1.1p fusion, YAOandCDC45, have been used as alternatives to directCas9expression, but the efficiency of getting nonchimeric mutations is still not high. To further improve gene editing efficiency, we used gene co-expression network analysis to identifyNUC1as a candidate promoter for drivingCas9expression.NUC1has expression patterns similar toYAO, but expresses at a much higher level. We constructed a CRISPR/Cas9 system pHY07 that uses theNUC1promoter to driveCas9and carries the mCherry protein as a fluorescent marker for selecting transgenic seeds. Using this system to edit theGL2gene, we obtained apparently nonchimeric mutations in 55% of the T1 transgenic plants. Among the Cas9-free T2 plants 99% harbored mutations that are stably inherited from the previous generation. Therefore, our system exhibited extremely high editing efficiency, and through fluorescent screening of transgenic seeds, it become easy to obtain Cas9-free and stable genetic mutants in the T2 generation.

AbstractIntroduction:An innovative and community-based intervention is implemented in the Guiana Shield to eliminate malaria among people involved in artisanal and small-scale gold mining. The intervention is possible in the field thanks to community health workers (CHWs) who are previously trained to master all intervention’s procedures, including training gold miners to treat themselves for malaria. This article describes thus a training-of-trainers (ToT) program for CHWs, as well as the method and results of its evaluation in terms of quality and effectiveness.Methods: A mixed-method case study was implemented in two steps and based on knowledge survey, satisfaction test, observations and semi- structured interviews. Quantitative and qualitative data were triangulated.Results: The project team’s previous experience and the Guiana Shield countries’ commitment to the WHO E-2025 initiative were identified as levers for the quality of the ToT training, while the complexity of the project context was a challenge. Group dynamics and adaptations were found to be central elements of a high-quality training program. CHWs’ satisfaction was elevated especially regarding training format and learning results. Improvements on knowledge level demonstrated good effectiveness of the training. Nevertheless, some difficulties persisted regarding certain tasks to be carried out by CHWs during the intervention procedure. Further on-the-job training permitted to address them, improving CHWs’ practices in the field.Discussion: High-quality, effective, and appropriate training programs are required for effective and sustainable intervention involving CHWs profiles. Training design is a crucial point to attend quality and effectiveness. ToT model has been shown to allow a high level of satisfaction, good learning results and satisfactory implementation in the field. Initial and continuing training is an indispensable continuum to sustain good practices in the field and CHWs’ motivation. Training evaluation permits to standardize methods and facilitate transferability of successful efforts.

Published: October 2023

AbstractExposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is increasingly recognised as a risk factor for health problems in later life. Awareness of ACEs and associated trauma is increasing in schools and educational settings, as well as demand for supportive services to deal with needs. However, there is a lack of clear evidence for effective interventions which can be delivered by non-clinicians (e.g., the school staff themselves). For this review, we conducted a search across five electronic databases for studies published since January 2013. These studies assessed the efficacy of non-clinician delivered interventions for supporting trauma recovery or improvements in mental health in school age youth (4-18 years) who have experienced ACEs. Out of the 4097 studies identified through the search, 326 were retrieved for full text screening and 25 were included in the final review. There was considerable heterogeneity in study design, outcome measures and the intervention being studied. The majority of studies were assessed to be of weak quality due to convenience sampling of participants and potential bias, indicating there is a lack of high quality research evidence to inform non-clinician delivered trauma-informed interventions for improving mental health outcomes in school-age young people. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-based approaches are tentatively suggested as a suitable target for future rigorous evaluations of interventions addressing ACE-related trauma recovery and mental health improvement in school-age young people.
Lycopene Production in Dedicated Novel Chasses for Lignocellulosic Waste Material Utilisation Capable of Sustained Coculture
Authors: Allan John , Crown Matthew , Bashton Matthew , Black Gary W 
Published: October 2023

AbstractMunicipal solid waste (MSW) represents tonnes of material that, for the most part, is relegated to landfill. Synthetic biology proposes solutions to many of the challenges faced by humanity today, but many approaches are confined to use in classical chassis organisms. In MSW there are a variety of potentially toxic materials such as glues, dyes, and preservatives that could pose a challenge to its capitalisation when using these commonplace chassis. We have isolated a bank of strains that utilise paper and cardboard waste from a relevant waste environment. From these we have identified three strains that are capable of utilising cellulose as a sole carbon source. We have analysed how they utilise cellulose and hemicelluloses, both alone and in coculture. This revealed insights to how they might be used in synthetic consortia which were then produced under laboratory conditions. Production of complete genome sequences of these strains provides genetic insight to how these processes may be occurring at the metabolic level, and how they could be augmented using synthetic biology. To this end, we have produced protocols for transforming plasmids into these strains and have produced high value metabolites from this material.HighlightsFully annotated genomes were produced from novel mesophilic aerobic strains isolated from lignocellulosic solid wasteLycopene was produced directly from relevant solid waste substrates by genetically modified variants of these strainsOptimised carbon source blends influence coculture compositions of specific strains

ABSTRACTThe ability to encode and retrieve meal-related information is critical to efficiently guide energy acquisition and consumption, yet the underlying neural processes remain elusive. Here we reveal that ventral hippocampus (HPCv) neuronal activity dynamically elevates during meal consumption and this response is highly predictive of subsequent performance in a foraging-related spatial memory task. Targeted recombination-mediated ablation of HPCv meal-responsive neurons impairs foraging-related spatial memory without influencing food motivation, anxiety-like behavior, or escape-mediated spatial memory. These HPCv meal-responsive neurons project to the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) and single-nucleus RNA sequencing and in situ hybridization analyses indicate they are enriched in serotonin 2a receptors (5HT2aR). Either chemogenetic silencing of HPCv-to-LHA projections or intra-HPCv 5HT2aR antagonist yielded foraging-related spatial memory deficits, as well as alterations in caloric intake and the temporal sequence of spontaneous meal consumption. Collective results identify a population of HPCv neurons that dynamically respond to eating to encode meal-related memories.

Published: October 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the influence of board characteristics on the integrated reporting quality (IRQ) of Indian-listed companies.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a sample of 197 firms from the BSE 500 for the years 2017–2018 to 2019–2020. The proposed hypotheses are tested using two-stage least squares regression.FindingsThe study documents a positive influence of board size, board independence and gender diversity on IRQ. The study also finds that board activity and role duality are insignificant with IRQ. Among the firm-specific characteristics, variables such as firm size, profitability and capital intensity positively influence IRQ.Originality/valueThe current study presents the first investigation in the context of India on the various board characteristics influencing IRQ. The study reiterates the role that gender-diverse boards have in improving information transparency. Policymakers can therefore drive adoption by recommending changes in board characteristics and increasing the quota for women on boards.
