Aleister Crowley, “Hymn to Lucifer” (Undated) and The Book of Thoth (1944)
Authors: Nilsson Johan 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter studies Aleister Crowley’s undated poem “Hymn to Lucifer” and an extract from The Book of Thoth (1944), which deals with the tarot card The Devil. “Hymn to Lucifer” alludes to the state of humankind in the Garden of Eden before the fall, a condition that is described in negative terms and portrayed as restrictive and stagnant. Even if it happens at the price of death, the Devil represents the possibility for humankind to leave the stagnation of Eden. The view of the Devil, especially in the guise of Lucifer, as the revealer of knowledge has been regarded as one of the classical elements of Romantic Satanism. Meanwhile, The Book of Thoth is a manual designed to give an account of Crowley’s interpretation of the significance of the tarot deck as well as to instruct its readers in a divinatory use of the cards. In The Book of Thoth, the Devil card is said to represent “creative energy in its most material form” and the connection that exists between the card, the Devil as a spiritual entity or principle and the creative force is possibly the main theme of the text.

Abstract
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) results in the loss of neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes. Present interventions for SCI include decompressive surgery, anti-inflammatory therapies, and rehabilitation programs. Nonetheless, these approaches do not offer regenerative solutions to replace the lost cells, fiber tracts, and circuits. Neural stem/progenitor cell (NPC) transplantation is a promising strategy that aims to encourage regeneration. However, NPC differentiation remains inconsistent, thus, contributing to suboptimal functional recovery. As such, we have previously engineered oligodendrogenically biased NPCs (oNPCs) and demonstrated their efficacy in a thoracic model of SCI. Since the majority of patients with SCI experience cervical injuries, our objective in the current study was to generate human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived oNPCs (hiPSC-oNPCs) and to characterize these cells in vitro and in vivo, utilizing a clinically relevant rodent model of cervical SCI. Following transplantation, the oNPCs engrafted, migrated to the rostral and caudal regions of the lesion, and demonstrated preferential differentiation toward oligodendrocytes. Histopathological evaluations revealed that oNPC transplantation facilitated tissue preservation while diminishing astrogliosis. Moreover, oNPC transplantation fostered remyelination of the spared tissue. Functional analyses indicated improved forelimb grip strength, gait, and locomotor function in the oNPC-transplanted rats. Importantly, oNPC transplantation did not exacerbate neuropathic pain or induce tumor formation. In conclusion, these findings underscore the therapeutic potential of oNPCs in promoting functional recovery and histopathological improvements in cervical SCI. This evidence warrants further investigation to optimize and advance this promising cell-based therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Brain angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing brain vasculature, has been previously associated with neural plasticity and addictive behaviors related to substances. Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) have become increasingly popular due to their ability to mimic the effects of cannabis, offering high potency and easy accessibility. In the current study, we reveal that the SC 5F-MDMB-PICA, the most common SC in the United States in 2019, increases cell metabolic activity and promotes angiogenesis in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs). First, we performed an MTT assay to evaluate the effects of 5F-MDMB-PICA treatment at various concentrations (0.0001 μM, 0.001 μM, 0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, and 1 μM) on HBMECs metabolic activity. The results demonstrated higher concentrations of the SC improved cell metabolic activity. Furthermore, 5F-MDMB-PICA treatment enhanced tube formation and migration of HBMECs in a dosage-dependent manner. Additionally, the mRNA, secreted protein, and intracellular protein levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, angiopoietin-1, and angiopoietin-2, which are involved in the regulation of angiogenesis, as well as the protein levels of cannabinoid receptor type-1, were all increased following treatment with 5F-MDMB-PICA. Notably, the phosphorylation levels at Serine 9 residue of glycogen synthase kinase-3β were also increased in the 5F-MDMB-PICA treated HBMECs. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that 5F-MDMB-PICA can enhance angiogenesis in HBMECs, suggesting the significant role of angiogenesis in the response to SCs. Manipulating this interaction may pave the way for innovative treatments targeting SC addiction and angiogenesis-related conditions.

Abstract
Our knowledge of the diversity of eukaryotic viruses has recently undergone a massive expansion. This diversity could influence host physiology through yet unknown phenomena of potential interest to the fields of health and food production. However, the assembly processes of this diversity remain elusive in the eukaryotic viromes of terrestrial animals. This situation hinders hypothesis-driven tests of virome influence on host physiology. Here, we compare taxonomic diversity between different spatial scales in the eukaryotic virome of the mosquito Culex pipiens. This mosquito is a vector of human pathogens worldwide. The experimental design involved sampling in five countries in Africa and Europe around the Mediterranean Sea and large mosquito numbers to ensure a thorough exploration of virus diversity. A group of viruses was found in all countries. This core group represented a relatively large and diverse fraction of the virome. However, certain core viruses were not shared by all host individuals in a given country, and their infection rates fluctuated between countries and years. Moreover, the distribution of coinfections in individual mosquitoes suggested random co-occurrence of those core viruses. Our results also suggested differences in viromes depending on geography, with viromes tending to cluster depending on the continent. Thus, our results unveil that the overlap in taxonomic diversity can decrease with spatial scale in the eukaryotic virome of C. pipiens. Furthermore, our results show that integrating contrasted spatial scales allows us to identify assembly patterns in the mosquito virome. Such patterns can guide future studies of virome influence on mosquito physiology.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Nurses have primary responsibility for many of the care processes and interventions intended to improve patients' health during hospital stays. Accordingly, missed nursing care can negatively impact patient safety and lead to negative clinical outcomes. Missed nursing care is standard care that is not completed, incomplete, or seriously delayed.

Purpose:
There is scant literature on nurse-reported missed care (NRMC) in Singapore. Identifying the prevalence of, types of, and reasons for missed care, including staff-related factors, is imperative to understanding the implications of missed care and identifying opportunities for improvement.

Methods:
Ours is a correlation study of NRMC using convenience sampling. Nurses working on all inpatient units in an acute care hospital in Singapore were recruited to complete the MISSCARE survey, a quantitative tool measuring missed nursing care and the reasons for it. Descriptive statistics was applied to analyze demographics, types of NRMC, and reasons for NRMC. The Pearson χ2 test was used to analyze the correlation between demographics and satisfaction variables and NRMC.

Results:
A total of 314 participants out of 1,944 eligible nurses (response rate, 16%) were recruited. The most commonly reported missed care activities were setting up meals for patients who can feed themselves (87.3%), ambulation (70.1%), attending interdisciplinary conferences (64.3%), providing emotional support to patients and/or family (58%), and turning patients every two hours (56.7%). The most cited reasons for missed care were inadequate number of staff (84.4%), caregiver not in unit or unavailable (76.1%), heavy admission and discharge activity (75.5%), urgent patient situations (74.2%), and unexpected rise in patient volume and/or acuity (73.2%). Younger age, greater experience in role and current unit, inadequate staffing and teamwork, low satisfaction with current role and with being a nurse, and planning to leave the current position were factors significantly associated with greater levels of missed care.

Conclusion:
This study demonstrated evidence of NRMC and its associated factors within the local setting. In addition to expanding nursing resources, analyzing nursing work processes, providing support for younger nurses, and improving nursing satisfaction are possible mitigating factors in preventing missed care. Strategies targeting workforce and resource management, greater support for new and younger nurses, and job satisfaction should be considered to address missed care.
Endometriosis – a painful disease
Authors: Coxon Lydia , Evans Emma , Vincent Katy 
Published: August 2023

Purpose of review
This review looks to overview advances in endometriosis-associated pain, both in understanding the pain mechanisms involved and increasing treatment options with well designed clinical trials and meta-analyses.

Recent findings
Our understanding of endometriosis-associated pain has progressed from a purely nociceptive model to an awareness that both neuropathic and nociplastic mechanisms can be present for some people with endometriosis. Clinical trials and meta-analyses have demonstrated efficacy of surgical treatments and hormonal therapies. It is notable that currently, the basic science and clinical trials are not cross-fertilising.

Summary
Following growth in other areas of chronic pain, there have been significant advances in our understanding of endometriosis-associated pain. However, there remains lots to explore and we are currently a long way from our goal of timely personalized holistic multidisciplinary treatment for all sufferers of endometriosis-associated pain.
Kratom Use Among Pregnant and Lactating Individuals With Substance Use Disorder
Authors: Bowman Justin , Lai Miao , Charles Jasmin E. , Gordon Adam J. , Smid Marcela C. 
Published: August 2023

Objective
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) use in pregnancy is associated with maternal and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome. However, kratom use patterns in the population of peripartum and postpartum individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of pregnant and postpartum individuals with SUD who report using kratom in pregnancy or lactation and the reasons for their use.

Methods
We conducted an anonymous survey of pregnant and postpartum individuals receiving care at a single center's multidisciplinary prenatal clinic for individuals with SUD. We collected participants' demographic and pregnancy characteristics. We assessed ever use of kratom, kratom use during pregnancy or lactation, and reasons for kratom use. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data.

Results
From January 2021 to May 2021, a total of 80 surveys were collected (81% response rate of 98 eligible individuals). Most respondents were pregnant (n = 50 [62.5%]). The most frequent substance(s) of use were opioids (n = 50 [62.5%]) and methamphetamine (n = 39 [48.8%]). Many (n = 26 [32.5%]) reported ever use of kratom use. Of all respondents, 4 (5%) reported use during pregnancy, and 1 (1%) reported use during lactation. Kratom was primarily used to relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms and for relaxation, pain control, and stress relief.

Conclusion
In a survey of pregnant and postpartum individuals with SUD at a single high-risk pregnancy clinic, ever use of kratom was frequent, whereas peripartum use was rare.

Authors: Morel Mark , Severinsky Boris , Kim Hee Joon , Behshad Soroosh 
Published: August 2023

Purpose:
To describe a case of a patient treated for neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) with direct corneal neurotization (CN), where a modification to the CN technique allowed for semiscleral contact lens use postoperatively.

Observation:
Our patient had successful CN with improved corneal sensation. During the procedure, a 1.0 mm gutter was created between the limbus and nerve graft to allow for semiscleral contact lens fitting.

Conclusions:
With the use of preoperative planning and a limbal gutter during CN, a semiscleral contact lens can serve as a well-tolerated postoperative management option to improve visual acuity and protect the corneal surface in patients with NK.

Authors: Yang Yi-Zeng , Li Fen-Fen , Wu Shuang-Qing , Dai Qi , Bao Fang-Jun , Cheng Dan , Zhu Jun , Ye Yu-Feng 
Published: August 2023

Purpose:
To compare astigmatic correction among cross-assisted small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE), femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK), and transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (transPRK).

Setting:
The Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Zhejiang, China.

Design:
Prospective comparison study.

Methods:
154 right eyes of 154 patients with astigmatism of −1.00 to −2.75 diopters (D) were included in this study. 64 eyes, 42 eyes, and 48 eyes were receiving SMILE, FS-LASIK, and transPRK, respectively. The SMILE group used cross-axial alignment for head positioning for astigmatism correction. In the FS-LASIK and transPRK groups, static and dynamic cyclotorsion control were used. Changes in ocular parameters and vector analysis were assessed at 6 months postoperatively.

Results:
The safety and efficacy indices were comparable among the 3 groups at 6 months postoperatively. Residual astigmatism was smallest in the SMILE group (−0.23 ± 0.25 D) compared with that in FS-LASIK (−0.40 ± 0.28 D, P = .009) and transPRK groups (−0.42 ± 0.32 D, P = .001). 53 (82.8%), 36 (85.7%), and 37 (77.1%) eyes achieved an angle of error within ±5 degrees, respectively (P = .55). Notably, vector analysis showed that the difference vector, the magnitude of the error, and its absolute value were significantly smaller in the SMILE group than those in the other groups (P < .05). In addition, the higher-order aberrations, especially coma, were significantly induced postoperatively in each group (P < .001).

Conclusions:
Residual astigmatism magnitude was smallest by cross-assisted SMILE, followed by FS-LASIK and transPRK, and the astigmatism axial correction was comparable among groups.
Multidisciplinary Teamwork Perceptions When Mobilizing Ventilated Neurosurgery Patients
Authors: Vinar Adrianna Lall , Cipher Daisha J. , Ormand Molly , Carlisle Byron , Behan Deborah 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Multidisciplinary teamwork is essential in delivering holistic care to critically ill populations, including ventilated neurosurgery patients. Although it is considered a safe and feasible aspect of patient care, mobilization is often missed in this population because of negative healthcare provider perceptions regarding barriers and patient safety. Nurse-led teamwork has been suggested to overcome these barriers and to achieve earlier mobilization for patients, as well as positive provider perceptions, which may affect the culture and frequency of mobilization on neurointensive care units. Quantitative studies analyzing multidisciplinary teamwork perceptions to mobilize ventilated neurosurgery patients with or without a nurse-led protocol have not been previously conducted. Analyzing such perceptions may provide insight to team-related barriers related to missed mobility. This pilot quasi-experimental study aimed to determine whether the use of a nurse-led mobility protocol affects teamwork perceptions when mobilizing ventilated neurosurgery patients. METHODS: A sample of multidisciplinary teams, composed of nurses, patient care technicians, and respiratory therapists, mobilized ventilated neurosurgery patients according to either standard of care (for the control group) or a nurse-led mobility protocol (for the interventional group). Teamwork perceptions were measured via the reliable and valid Nursing Teamwork Survey tool. RESULTS: Linear mixed model analyses revealed that multidisciplinary teams in the nurse-led mobility protocol group had significantly higher levels of overall perceived teamwork than those in the control group, t
3 = −3.296, P = .038. Such differences were also noted for teamwork variables of team leadership and mutual trust. CONCLUSION: Nurse-led mobility protocols should be considered to increase teamwork when performing multidisciplinary teamwork-based mobility for ventilated neurosurgery patients. Future studies should continue to evaluate teamwork perceptions after nurse-led mobility.
Tuberculosis in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Nationwide Cohort in a Low Tuberculosis Incidence Country
Authors: Feuth Thijs , Rajalahti Iiris , Vasankari Tuula , Gissler Mika , Rimhanen-Finne Ruska , Finne Patrik , Helanterä Ilkka 
Published: August 2023

Background.
World Health Organization recommends tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment for risk groups such as patients preparing for organ transplantation. Pretransplant screening or treatment of latent TB infection has not been routine practice in Finland.

Methods.
In this nationwide registry study, we assessed the risk of TB among kidney transplant recipients compared to the general population. TB cases were identified by data linkage of the national infectious disease and the national transplant registries between 1995 and 2019. Standardized incidence ratios were calculated with adjustment for age, sex, and annual TB dynamics.

Results.
A total of 4101 kidney transplants in 3900 recipients with a follow-up of 37 652 patient-years were included. Eighteen TB cases were detected. Patients diagnosed with TB were older (median age 64 y, interquartile range 56–66) at transplantation than those without TB (median 51 y, interquartile range 41–60, P < 0.001). The standardized incidence ratio of TB was 6.9 among kidney transplant recipients compared to general population during the whole study period 1995–2019 but decreased from 12.5 in 1995–2007 to 3.2 in 2008–2019. The standardized incidence ratio was 44.2 during the first year after transplantation. Significant differences in 5-y graft losses were not detected between TB patients and those without TB.

Conclusions.
The standardized incidence ratio of TB in kidney transplant recipients has decreased over the years, but these patients remain at risk of TB, especially during the first posttransplant year. Cost-benefit analysis is required to address feasibility of latent TB infection screening among transplant candidates in countries with low incidence of TB.
