Published: March 2023

AbstractMoringa is a multipurpose tree and an important vegetable crop elsewhere. However, it is recently introduced to Botswana and grown in the backyards of households as a shade. Its uses are generally unknown to the community, and it is underutilized despite its huge nutritional and non-food uses. In this study, the nutritional composition, bioactive components and antioxidant activity ofMoringa stenopetala(MS) andMoringa oleifera(MO) leaves grown in Gaborone Botswana were determined. Except for moisture content, no significant difference (p > 0.05) was observed in proximate composition between MS and MO leaves. The moisture content of MS leaves was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of MO leaves. MS leaves had significantly (p < 0.05) higher Na and K contents than MO leaves. However, MO leaves had significantly (p < 0.05) higher Zn content than MS leaves. The two Moringa leaves had comparable Fe, Ca and Mg contents. The Vitamin C content of MO leaves was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of MS leaves. However, MS leaves had significantly (p < 0.05) higher total phenolic, total flavonoid contents (mg/100 g) and antioxidant activity (µg/mL) as compared to MO leaves. The Moringa leaves can be used for development of functional foods with improved nutrition and health benefits.Graphical Abstract

AbstractThe idea of the Anthropocene has spread far beyond its origins in geology, becoming common in contemporary activist and intellectual circles. But who is responsible for the mounting disasters associated with the age of anthropos, and who should be made to pay reparations? What if the onset of the Anthropocene was tenaciously resisted in various different historical moments and parts of the planet? This issue recuperates the alternative worlds, orientations, and subaltern environmental movements that constitute radical historical alternatives to the Anthropocene. We conceptualize these alternatives as seeds of ecological insurrection, sometimes lying long dormant but always ready to rise up again when the time is right. At a moment when elites have intransigently refused to decarbonize society, we must look back to histories of revolt to broaden the repertoire of militant tactics available to face the environmental emergency.
A Black Belt-ocene
Authors: Richardson LaKendrick 
Published: March 2023

AbstractPopular conceptualizations of the Anthropocene tend to blur and blend humanity into a singular lump and task it with combating anomalous climate change. This essay questions the dominant narratives of the Anthropocene by excavating the author’s life in the Alabama Black Belt. Through a blend of autoethnography and historical research, it explores life in the Black Belt as an example of the ways in which Black and brown people, and their narratives, are erased in the Anthropocene. The Black Belt is home to rich advocacy movements led by those most impacted. This activism demonstrates that Black people are not passive in the climate movement. In fact, the Black Belt has engaged with ecological injustice movements throughout its modern history. Guided by Kathryn Yusoff’s conception of “a billion Black Anthropocenes,” this article aims to encourage praxis that is guided by inclusive and honest historical accounts of humanity and ecological injustice.

Introducción: Los riesgos psicosociales en los trabajadores tienen influencia en la salud, rendimiento del trabajo y satisfacción laboral, sin embargo, este fenómeno en trabajadores de la industria petrolera poco se ha estudiado. El objetivo fue analizar asociación de estrés y desgaste laboral en trastornos en los trabajadores petroleros de la región sureste de México. Materiales y métodos: Diseño transversal y analítico. La muestra estuvo integrada por 501 trabajadores de la industria petrolera terrestre de la región sureste de México. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Inventario de Desgaste Laboral, el Inventario de Síntomas de Estrés y el Cuestionario de Salud General de Goldberg (GHQ 28). Se aplicaron los instrumentos entre octubre y noviembre de 2016. Se utilizó la prueba de Chi Cuadrado para analizar la relación entre las variables, y se determinó Odds Ratio para establecer el nivel de riesgo a trastornos mentales. Resultados: Se encontraron niveles moderados de estrés (21.4l%), eficacia (41.5%) cinismo (30.6%) y agotamiento (39.7%). Se encontró presencia de trastornos mentales en 11.8% de los trabajadores. El estrés y las dimensiones del desgaste laboral se asociaron con los trastornos mentales (p<.050). Finalmente, el estrés y el desgaste laboral son factores de riesgo para sufrir trastornos mentales(OR=12.96, IC95% [7.03, 23.94] p=0.00). Conclusiones: El estrés y el desgaste laboral representan factores de riesgo para presentar trastornos mentales en los trabajadores petroleros.

Authors: Luquez Juliana 
Published: March 2023

ResumoA análise da estruturação urbana é reconhecida como importante corte e montagem na compreensão da produção do espaço e na percepção do movimento que realiza a cidade e o urbano – como materialidade e possibilidade. Este manuscrito discute os processos socioespaciais na realização da urbanização em Mato Grosso do Sul, apresentando evidências e hipóteses sobre o desenvolvimento do urbano a partir de Campo Grande; e, como desdobramento, reconhece a potência da abordagem interseccional na combinação de tríades analíticas que possam ampliar as possibilidades interpretativas sobre o movimento da produção do espaço urbano na capital sul-mato-grossense. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados neste ensaio consideraram levantamento bibliográfico, levantamento documental conjuntural e circunscrição de um referencial territorial orientado por trabalho de campo e portfólio sistematizado. O raciocínio desenvolvido conclui que a leitura do espaço urbano de Campo Grande apresenta processos socioespaciais estruturalmente complexos, destacando a periferização, a espoliação e a segregação como relevantes para a análise e a discussão da problemática urbana na contemporaneidade.Palavras-chave: relatos de experiência, periferização, espoliação, segregação. AbstractThe analysis of urban structure is recognized as an important cut and assembly in understanding the production of space and in the perception of the movement that produces the city and the urban space – as materiality and possibility. This manuscript discusses the socio-spatial processes in the realization of urbanization in Mato Grosso do Sul state, presenting evidence and hypotheses about urban development at Campo Grande city; and, as a result, it recognizes the power of the intersectional approach in the combination of analytical triads that can expand the interpretative possibilities on the movement of production of urban space in the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul. The methodological procedures adopted in this essay considered a bibliographic survey, a conjunctural document survey and the circumscription of a territorial reference guided by fieldwork and a systematized portfolio. The reasoning developed concludes that the reading of the urban space of Campo Grande presents structurally complex socio- spatial processes, highlighting peripheralization, spoliation and segregation as relevant to the analysis and discussion of the urban problem in contemporary times.Keywords: experience reports; peripheralization; spoliation; segregation.

AimsTemporary hemiepiphysiodesis (HED) is applied to children and adolescents to correct angular deformities (ADs) in long bones through guided growth. Traditional Blount staples or two-hole plates are mainly used for this indication. Despite precise surgical techniques and attentive postoperative follow-up, implant-associated complications are frequently described. To address these pitfalls, a flexible staple was developed to combine the advantages of the established implants. This study provides the first results of guided growth using the new implant and compares these with the established two-hole plates and Blount staples.MethodsBetween January 2013 and December 2016, 138 patients (22 children, 116 adolescents) with genu valgum or genu varum were treated with 285 flexible staples. The minimum follow-up was 24 months. These results were compared with 98 patients treated with 205 two-hole plates and 92 patients treated with 535 Blount staples. In long-standing anteroposterior radiographs, mechanical axis deviations (MADs) were measured before and during treatment to analyze treatment efficiency. The evaluation of the new flexible staple was performed according to the idea, development, evaluation, assessment, long-term (IDEAL) study framework (Stage 2a).ResultsOverall, 79% (109/138) of patients treated with flexible staples achieved sufficient deformity correction. The median treatment duration was 16 months (interquartile range (IQR) 8 to 21). The flexible staples achieved a median MAD correction of 1.2 mm/month/HED site (IQR 0.6 to 2.0) in valgus deformities and 0.6 mm/month/HED site (IQR 0.2 to 1.5) in varus deformities. Wound infections occurred in 1%, haematomas and joint effusions in 4%, and implant-associated complications in 1% of patients treated with flexible staples. Valgus AD were corrected faster using flexible staples than two-hole plates and Blount staples. Furthermore, the median MAD after treatment was lower in varus and valgus AD, fewer implant-associated complications were detected, and reduced implantation times were recorded using flexible staples.ConclusionThe flexible staple seems to be a viable option for guided growth, showing comparable or possibly better results regarding correction speed and reducing implant-associated complications. Further comparative studies are required to substantiate these findings.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2023;105-B(3):331–340.

Published: March 2023

AimsA conventional arthroscopic capsuloligamentous repair is a reliable surgical solution in most patients with scapholunate instability. However, this repair does not seem to be sufficient for more advanced injuries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional results of a wide arthroscopic dorsal capsuloligamentous repair (WADCLR) in the management of severe scapholunate instability.MethodsThis was a prospective single-centre study undertaken between March 2019 and May 2021. The primary outcome was the evaluation of the reduction of the radiological deformity and the functional outcomes after WADCLR. A secondary outcome was the evaluation of the effectiveness of this technique in patients with the most severe instability (European Wrist Arthroscopy Society (EWAS) stage 5). The patients were reviewed postoperatively at three, six, and 12 months.ResultsThe study included 112 patients (70 male and 42 female). Their mean age was 31.6 years (16 to 55). A total of three patients had EWAS stage 3A injuries, 12 had stage 3B injuries, 29 had stage 3C injuries, 56 had stage 4 injuries, and 12 had stage 5 injuries. There was a significant improvement of the radiological signs in all patients with a return to normal values. There was also a significant improvement in all aspects of function except for flexion, in which the mean increase was negligible (0.18° on average). There was also a significant improvement in all criteria for patients with a stage 5 injury, except for some limitation of extension, flexion, and radial and ulnar deviation, although these showed a trend towards improvement (except for flexion).ConclusionWADCLR is a minimally invasive, easy, and reproducible technique with few complications, offering a clear improvement in function and a reduction in the radiological deformity at one year postoperatively.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2023;105-B(3):307–314.
Racial differences in prevention decision making among U.S. women at high risk of breast cancer: A qualitative study

Published: March 2023

Purpose
Women at high risk of breast cancer face complex decisions about how to manage those risks. Substantial gaps in current knowledge include how women make these decisions and how decision making may differ across sub-populations. Among these critical gaps are the questions of (a) whether racial differences exist between the experiences of high-risk women navigating breast cancer risk, and (b) what consequences those racial differences might have on women’s ability to manage their cancer risks. The present study is designed to address these questions directly.

Methods
Fifty semi-structured interviews were conducted with high-risk Black (n = 20) and white women (n = 30) between May 2015 and March 2016 in person in Ohio and by phone. Transcribed data were analyzed using grounded theory methods.

Main findings
Our analyses suggest that many of the core decision-making dynamics high-risk women navigate differ by race. The experiences of white and Black women in our study differ in terms of (a) contextualizing risk—how women make sense of their own breast cancer risk, the degree to which they worry about risk, and how they prioritize risk within the contexts of their broader lives; (b) conceptualizing risk management–how, how much, and from whom women learn about and conceptualize their options for preventing cancer and/or ensuring that cancer gets diagnosed early; and (c) constraints–the external barriers women face throughout their decision-making and risk-management processes. In sum, the Black women we interviewed reported feeling less well-situated to consider and cope actively with breast cancer risk, less well-informed about risk-management options, and more constrained in their use of these options.

Conclusions
High-risk women’s accounts of the complex dynamics that shape breast cancer prevention decisions suggest that these dynamics vary substantially by race, such that Black women may experience disadvantages relative to whites.

Mindfulness meditation may improve well-being at work; however, effects on food cravings and metabolic health are not well known. We tested effects of digital meditation, alone or in combination with a healthy eating program, on perceived stress, cravings, and adiposity. We randomized 161 participants with overweight and moderate stress to digital meditation (‘MED,’ n = 38), digital meditation + healthy eating (‘MED+HE,’ n = 40), active control (‘HE,’ n = 41), or waitlist control (‘WL,’ n = 42) for 8 weeks. Participants (n = 145; M(SD) BMI: 30.8 (5.4) kg/m2) completed baseline and 8-week measures of stress (Perceived Stress Scale), cravings (Food Acceptance and Awareness Questionnaire) and adiposity (sagittal diameter and BMI). ANCOVAs revealed that those randomized to MED or MED+HE (vs. HE or WL) showed decreases in perceived stress (F = 15.19, p < .001, η2 = .10) and sagittal diameter (F = 4.59, p = .03, η2 = .04), with no differences in cravings or BMI. Those high in binge eating who received MED or MED+HE showed decreases in sagittal diameter (p = .03). Those with greater adherence to MED or MED+HE had greater reductions in stress, cravings, and adiposity (ps < .05). A brief digital mindfulness-based program is a low-cost method for reducing perceptions of stress and improving abdominal fat distribution patterns among adults with overweight and moderate stress. Future work should seek to clarify mechanisms by which such interventions contribute to improvements in health.

Published: March 2023

Objective
As one of the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is highly heterogeneous with varied clinical features and diverse gestational complications among individuals. The patients with PCOS have 2-fold higher risk of preterm labor which is associated with substantial infant morbidity and mortality and great socioeconomic cost. The study was designated to identify molecular subtypes and the related hub genes to facilitate the susceptibility assessment of preterm labor in women with PCOS.

Methods
Four mRNA datasets (GSE84958, GSE5090, GSE43264 and GSE98421) were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus database. Twenty-eight candidate genes related to preterm labor or labor were yielded from the researches and our unpublished data. Then, we utilized unsupervised clustering to identify molecular subtypes in PCOS based on the expression of above candidate genes. Key modules were generated with weighted gene co-expression network analysis R package, and their hub genes were generated with CytoHubba. The probable biological function and mechanism were explored through Gene Ontology analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. In addition, STRING and Cytoscape software were used to identify the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and the molecular complex detection (MCODE) was used to identify the hub genes. Then the overlapping hub genes were predicted.

Results
Two molecular subtypes were found in women with PCOS based on the expression similarity of preterm labor or labor-related genes, in which two modules were highlighted. The key modules and PPI network have five overlapping five hub genes, two of which, GTF2F2 and MYO6 gene, were further confirmed by the comparison between clustering subgroups according to the expression of hub genes.

Conclusions
Distinct PCOS molecular subtypes were identified with preterm labor or labor-related genes, which might uncover the potential mechanism underlying heterogeneity of clinical pregnancy complications in women with PCOS.

Published: March 2023

ObjectivesThis study aimed to compare profiles of coping among females with thyroid disorders and females from a healthy control group regarding depression levels and body image anxiety. We also wanted to check whether subjectively experienced Covid-19-related psychological distress moderated the above-mentioned association in both groups of participants.MethodThe study sample comprised 564 females, of which 329 were diagnosed with a thyroid disease and 235 formed the healthy control group. Participants filled out paper-and-pencil or online versions of psychometric questionnaires to assess coping strategies, depression, and body image anxiety.ResultsIn general, we observed higher depression intensity and a higher level of body image anxiety among females with thyroid diseases than among the healthy control group. Latent profile analysis revealed adaptive vs. maladaptive coping profiles from both study samples. Depression symptoms were significantly higher if coping was maladaptive in both the clinical and control groups. Still, there were no significant differences in body image anxiety between participants with adaptive and maladaptive coping profiles. Covid-19-related distress did not moderate the link between coping profiles, depression, and body image anxiety in either group.ConclusionGreater focus should be placed on the role of body image in females struggling with thyroid diseases. Bodily therapy may help these patients to cope better with co-occurring thyroid diseases and mental disorders, whose relationship is still not fully understood.

Published: March 2023

Objectives
The aim of this study was to determine the causes of death among Asian non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who were registered in a nationwide AF registry, and to investigate the differences in the causes of death in AF patients compared between those who were taking and not taking oral anticoagulant (OAC).

Methods
The COhort of antithrombotic use and Optimal INR Level in patients with non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation in Thailand (COOL-AF) study enrolled non-valvular AF patients from 27 centers in Thailand during 2014–2017 to create the COOL-AF Thailand registry. Cause of death was classified as cardiovascular (CV) death, non-CV death, or undetermined cause of death. All events were evaluated and verified by an independent adjudication committee.

Results
There was a total of 3,405 patients (mean age: 67.8 years, 41.8% female), and the mean follow-up duration was 31.8±8.7 months. Three hundred and eighty patients (11.2%) died during follow-up. CV death, non-CV death, and undetermined cause accounted for 121 (31.8%), 189 (49.7%), and 70 (18.4%) patients, respectively. Of those with a known cause of death, heart failure (10%), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH; 10%), sudden cardiac death (6.8%), and ischemic stroke (5.8%) were the most often observed causes of death. Concerning non-CV death, infection/sepsis (27.7%), cancer (5.5%), respiratory (5.2%), and major bleeding (4.5%) were the most prevalent causes of death. The use and type of OAC were found to be major determinants of ICH and major bleeding incidence.

Conclusion
Death due to ischemic stroke was responsible for only 4.7% of all deaths in Asian AF patients. Non-CV death, such as infection/sepsis or malignancy, was more far more prevalent than CV death in Asian AF patients. An improved integrated care approach is needed to reduce the prevalence of non-CV death in Asian AF patients.
