Malintzin’s Origins: Slave? Or Cultural Confusion?
Authors: Fitzmaurice Rosamund E. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractOne of the most famous figures in the conquest of Mexico, Malintzin, also known as La Malinche and Doña Marina, has been described in ethnohistorical accounts as an interpreter who came from slavery. But what if this assertion of Malintzin’s origins was a result of cultural confusion, or simply untrue? This article closely examines ethnohistorical sources and their description of Malintzin’s origins. Could cultural bias or cultural misunderstanding be present within them? How might these biases affect our reading of Malintzin’s supposed slave status? The article explores the role of exchange, political marriage, gift giving, and polygyny in Maya and Aztec culture to add further context to Malintzin’s transfer from Indigenous to Conquistador society. It theorizes that Malintzin was never intended to be given to the Spanish invaders as a slave but rather as a bride.

ABSTRACTEnvironmental temperature is one of the most significant factors influencing the developmental rate and survival of embryos and larvae of many marine animals, including polychaetes. The aim of this study was to experimentally evaluate the effect of temperature increase on the embryonic development and larval survival of Spirobranchus incrassatus and S. cf. corniculatus. Adult worms of both species were collected from the western margin of the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico. Embryos and larvae were obtained from these worms and exposed to four temperature treatments (28, 30, 32 and 34°C). The optimal temperature for embryonic development of S. incrassatus and S. cf. corniculatus was 30 and 28°C, respectively. For both species, the maximum critical temperature was 32°C and the lethal temperature was 34°C. The embryonic stages of S. cf. corniculatus were most negatively affected by elevated temperatures. Larval survivorship of S. incrassatus and S. cf. corniculatus was higher at 30°C and 28°C (76.2±2.8%; 72.6±4.2%) and lower at 34°C (28.9±2.6%; 26.3±2.9%), respectively. These results suggest that S. cf. corniculatus has the lowest thermal tolerance. Both Spirobranchus species already live near their upper limit of thermal tolerance in the study region (30°C). In the near future, under a global warming scenario, the distribution of both species could be modified, causing a loss of biodiversity, changes in the trophic chain, and alterations in the water column, such as excess organic matter.
insideOutside: an accessible algorithm for classifying interior and exterior points, with applications in embryology

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT
A crucial aspect of embryology is relating the position of individual cells to the broader geometry of the embryo. A classic example of this is the first cell-fate decision of the mouse embryo, where interior cells become inner cell mass and exterior cells become trophectoderm. Fluorescent labelling, imaging, and quantification of tissue-specific proteins have advanced our understanding of this dynamic process. However, instances arise where these markers are either not available, or not reliable, and we are left only with the cells’ spatial locations. Therefore, a simple, robust method for classifying interior and exterior cells of an embryo using spatial information is required. Here, we describe a simple mathematical framework and an unsupervised machine learning approach, termed insideOutside, for classifying interior and exterior points of a three-dimensional point-cloud, a common output from imaged cells within the early mouse embryo. We benchmark our method against other published methods to demonstrate that it yields greater accuracy in classification of nuclei from the pre-implantation mouse embryos and greater accuracy when challenged with local surface concavities. We have made MATLAB and Python implementations of the method freely available. This method should prove useful for embryology, with broader applications to similar data arising in the life sciences.
Peripheral Modification of Tripodal Aza-Oxa-Crown Oxa-TriQuinoline

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Oxa-TriQuinoline (o-TQ) is a new entry in the collection of aza-oxa-crown compounds featuring a semi-rigid flexible conformation and a tripodal ligation capability through three quinoline units. Herein, we describe the installation of functional groups and aromatic substituents on the outer edge of o-TQ to modulate its physicochemical properties. Amino and bromo substituents were regioselectively introduced at the 5-position, forming bowl-shaped Cu(I) complexes in which three quinoline units coordinated to Cu(I). X-ray crystallography indicated that these o-TQ derivatives preferred an almost identical geometry in both the absence and presence of Cu(I). In contrast to o-TQ, some new o-TQ derivatives exhibited photoluminescent properties in solution and/or in the solid state depending on the substituents.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTUnderserved populations, including racial/ethnic minorities, individuals with low socioeconomic status, and individuals with physical disabilities, are less likely to engage in sufficient moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and are thus at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. These populations face unique challenges to engaging in MVPA. Learning how to overcome these challenges is a necessary first step in achieving health equity through health promotion research. In this review of the literature, we discuss issues and strategies that have been used to promote MVPA among individuals from underserved populations, focusing on recruitment, intervention delivery, and the use of technology in interventions. Physical activity promotion research among these vulnerable populations is scarce. Nevertheless, there is preliminary evidence of efficacy in the use of certain recruitment and intervention strategies including tailoring, cultural adaptation, incorporation of new technologies, and multilevel and community-based approaches for physical activity promotion among different underserved populations.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT
Walking programs improve health outcomes in adults at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and self-monitoring strategies can improve adherence to such programs. The objective of this study was to determine whether a 6-month Internet-based walking program using Web-enhanced pedometers results in more weight loss than walking programs based on time or simple pedometer step count goals in adults with or at risk for CVD. This was a multisite, randomized controlled trial of 255 male veterans who were ambulatory, insufficiently active, and with body mass index (BMI) ≥28, and who reported CVD risk factors ≥1 risk factors. Participants were randomized to one of three self-monitoring strategies to increase walking: 1) time-based walking goals; 2) simple pedometer-based walking goals; and 3) Web-enhanced pedometer feedback goals with Internet-mediated feedback. All participants also attended five individual weight loss sessions with a dietitian. The main outcome measure was change in weight at 6 months (kg), and the secondary outcomes were change in accelerometer-measured physical activity (min) and change in health-related quality of life at 6 months. The 255 participants had a mean age of 56.3 yr (SD = 10.0), BMI = 36.3 (SD = 5.3), with a mean value of 5.2 (SD = 2.3) medical comorbidities. Dropouts were distributed evenly across the three groups, and 72% of participants completed the program. At 6 months, participants in the Web-enhanced pedometer arm lost significantly more weight (−1.9 kg, 95% CI, −2.7 to −1.1) than those in the time-based group (−0.7 kg, 95% CI, −1.5 to 0.0; P = 0.04) and simple pedometer group (−0.6 kg, 95% CI, −1.4 to 0.2; P = 0.02). In conclusion, Internet-enhanced pedometers result in greater weight loss in veterans than in walking programs using time-based walking goals or simple pedometers.
The Effects of Exercise Training on the Traditional Lipid Profile and Beyond

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this review is to provide up-to-date information regarding the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise training on the traditional blood lipid and lipoprotein profile. In addition, emerging coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors, such as postprandial lipemia (PPL) and metabolic syndrome (MetS), are reviewed. Numerous studies report that aerobic exercise combined with weight loss significantly reduces blood cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) while improving high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Both aerobic and resistance training demonstrated a reduction in non-HDL-C independent of changes in body weight. Transient beneficial effects of a single session of aerobic exercise are observed for PPL. Nonetheless further research is needed to provide a better understanding of the potential mechanisms for reducing PPL. Exercise as an intervention for patients with MetS leads to improved CAD risk factors including atherogenic dyslipidemia, blood pressure, body composition, insulin sensitivity, and fat metabolism.

ABSTRACT
There is paucity of physical activity videos that are open access and visually feature diverse populations (i.e., varying age, race, and body mass index). These resources may better integrate with programs delivered in health disparate areas through visual role modeling. Through an integrated research–practice partnership, resources titled Move More, Virginia! were created to fill this gap. This study's purpose was to determine knowledge, perceptions, and usage of the new resources among peer educators who deliver community-based programming within Cooperative Extension. A mixed-methods design determined peer educators' sociodemographics, health-related characteristics, and Move More, Virginia! video perceptions. Two independent focus groups were conducted with a peer educator subset to further explore physical activity associated with their health educator roles. Researchers independently coded focus group transcriptions through a grounded theory approach to determine emergent themes and subthemes, expressed through meaning units (MU), related to resource perceptions. Quantitative data statistical analysis included independent t-tests and descriptive statistics. The peer educator majority were middle-aged females and considered overweight or obese. Focus group responses (n = 15) led to the emergence of four themes related to physical activity itself: barriers to incorporating physical activity into programs (n = 189 MU), physical activity facilitators (n = 106 MU), current delivery of physical activity (n = 102 MU), and physical activity barriers (n = 16 MU). When prompted to share video feedback, the top theme was positive video feedback (n = 105 MU). These findings provide deeper understanding of physical activity and the organizational culture of a statewide entity that may influence adoption of physical activity resources, thus guiding future translation of physical activity intervention within statewide programs.

ABSTRACT
This article describes the study design for ANDALE Pittsburgh, a culturally appropriate, family-based intervention to promote a healthy weight in Latino preschool children. The study was organized into two major phases: phase I—conduct focus groups with 30 Latino parents of preschool children to inform the development of a culturally appropriate intervention; phase II—test the feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention with 50 families. Participants were recruited from an emerging Latino community through community gatherings, flyers, and word of mouth. Six promotoras (females >18 yr, active in community) received 25 h of training using the intervention curriculum finalized after phase I. Promotoras delivered the home-based intervention to families for ten 90-min weekly sessions that included education, practice, and action (i.e., goal setting). Behavior modification constructs and strategies (e.g., goal setting, problem solving, and social support), and building of self-efficacy through healthy recipe preparation and physical activity breaks, were also included. Outcomes (e.g., child body mass index) were assessed pre- and postintervention. Process evaluation assessed fidelity, dose, reach, recruitment, and contextual factors using multiple data sources and mixed methods. The ANDALE Pittsburgh study will expand the body of knowledge on interventions to promote a healthy weight in Latino preschool children living in an emerging Latino community. If successful, this approach will be evaluated in a future, larger-scale intervention and provide a potential model to help to address and prevent obesity in this population.
How Are Community Health Workers Trained to Deliver Physical Activity to Adults? A Scoping Review
Authors: Ramalingam NithyaPriya Shivanthi , Strayer Thomas Edward , Breig Stephanie A. , Harden Samantha M. 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT

Purpose
Community-based physical activity interventions are recommended because of increased reach and public health impact. To improve adult physical activity levels, access and availability of community-based interventions are needed, and delivery personnel must be trained to meet this need. However, there is a gap in the literature related to training and recruitment of the community health workers (CHW) who deliver these interventions to adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of CHW who were trained to deliver in-person physical activity to adults, the structural and mechanistic components of physical activity trainings, and the effectiveness of these trainings.

Methods
A scoping review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted from November 2017 to January 2018. The review was limited to CHW training on adult physical activity delivery that reported reach, effect, or outcomes of training. The search was conducted in PubMed and EBSCOhost and included articles published from 1995 (coinciding with the release of the national physical activity guidelines) to December 2017.

Results
A total of 6651 peer-reviewed studies were identified, 205 full manuscripts were evaluated, and 7 articles met inclusion criteria and were analyzed. All studies reported the initial sample size of CHW trained; however, limited information on CHW personal characteristics was provided. The majority of studies reported that trainings were in-person with an average dose of 6 h. Four studies reported on training outcomes, with methods, measures, and outcomes varying widely.

Conclusions
There is inconsistent reporting on training across the literature, making comparisons between studies difficult and conclusions regarding training effectiveness difficult to discern. Further research is needed to understand for whom, under what conditions, and why physical activity trainings strategies are effective for CHW.

Case Report: Giant cell arteritis presenting as pyrexia of unknown origin

Published: August 2023

Giant cell arteritis, also known as temporal arteritis or cranial arteritis, is a type of systemic vasculitis that mainly affects large and medium-sized arteries in the head, neck, and upper extremities. It is characterized by inflammation of the walls of arteries, which can lead to narrowing or blockage of the affected vessels, and can result in serious complications such as vision loss, stroke and aortic aneurysm. The exact cause of giant cell arteritis is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues in the body. Genetic, environmental and infectious factors may also play a role in its development. The disease is more common in people over 50 years of age and occurs more frequently in women than in men. Diagnosing this disease is challenging and requires high degree of clinical suspicion and use of advanced modalities for confirming the diagnosis. Here we report a case of a 70-year-old female with pyrexia of unknown of origin who was ultimately diagnosed as a case of giant cell arteritis by PET-CT.
