AbstractAimTo determine the association of successful and unsuccessful operative vaginal delivery attempts with risk of severe neonatal birth injury.MethodsWe conducted a population‐based observational study of 1 080 503 births between 2006 and 2019 in Quebec, Canada. The main exposure was operative vaginal delivery with forceps or vacuum, elective or emergency cesarean with or without an operative vaginal attempt, and spontaneous delivery. The outcome was severe birth injury, including intracranial hemorrhage, brain and spinal damage, Erb's paralysis and other brachial plexus injuries, epicranial subaponeurotic hemorrhage, skull and long bone fractures, and liver, spleen, and other neonatal body injuries. We determined the association of delivery mode with risk of severe birth injury using adjusted risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).ResultsA total of 8194 infants (0.8%) had severe birth injuries. Compared with spontaneous delivery, vacuum (RR 2.98, 95% CI 2.80–3.16) and forceps (RR 3.35, 95% CI 3.07–3.66) were both associated with risk of severe injury. Forceps was associated with intracranial hemorrhage (RR 16.4, 95% CI 10.1–26.6) and brain and spinal damage (RR 13.5, 95% CI 5.72–32.0), while vacuum was associated with epicranial subaponeurotic hemorrhage (RR 27.5, 95% CI 20.8–36.4) and skull fractures (RR 2.04, 95% CI 1.86–2.25). Emergency cesarean after an unsuccessful operative attempt was associated with intracranial and epicranial subaponeurotic hemorrhage, but elective and other emergency cesareans were not associated with severe injury.ConclusionsOperative vaginal delivery and unsuccessful operative attempts that result in an emergency cesarean are associated with elevated risks of severe birth injury.

AbstractLow‐grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare epithelial malignancy of the appendix. If it perforates the abdominal cavity, it can cause a serious clinical syndrome called pseudomyxoma peritonei. In the present case, we laparoscopically removed a LAMN encountered during risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO). The patient was a 53‐year‐old woman who was diagnosed with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. RRSO was planned, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large cystic tumor in the right lower abdomen. We expected an ovarian cyst; however, it was a primary tumor of the appendix. Partial cecal resection was performed laparoscopically by a surgical oncologist. The pathological diagnosis was LAMN. Gynecologists may encounter this disease incidentally. Mucinous appendiceal neoplasm (MAN) may be encountered during RRSO. If a right lower abdominal mass is found near a normal ovary preoperatively, gynecologists should consider MAN as well as paraovarian cyst.

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate the influence of implant scan body (ISB) design (height, diameter, geometry, material, and retention system) on the accuracy of digital implant scans.Material and MethodsA literature search was completed in five databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, World of Science, and Cochrane. A manual search was also conducted. Studies reporting the evaluation of ISB design on the accuracy of digital scans obtained by using IOSs were included. Two investigators evaluated the studies independently by applying the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal. A third examiner was consulted to resolve any lack of consensus. Articles were classified based on the ISB features of height, geometry, material, and retention system.ResultsTwenty articles were included. Among the reviewed studies, 11 investigations analyzed the influence of different ISB geometries, 1 study assessed the impact of ISB diameter, 4 studies investigated the effect of ISB splinting, 2 articles evaluated ISB height, and 2 studies focused on the effect of ISB material on scan accuracy. In addition, 8 studies involved ISBs fabricated with different materials (1‐ and 2‐piece polyetheretherketone and 1‐piece titanium ISBs), and all of the reviewed articles tested screw‐retained ISBs, except for 3 in vitro studies.ConclusionsThe findings did not enable concrete conclusions regarding the optimal ISB design, whether there is a relationship between IOS technology and a specific ISB design, or the clinical condition that maximizes intraoral scanning accuracy. Research efforts are needed to identify the optimal ISB design and its possible relationship with the IOS selected for acquiring intraoral digital implant scans.

Published: September 2023

AbstractCase DescriptionA 4‐year‐old female spayed mixed breed dog presented with a 2‐year history of painful urination and recurrent hematuria.Clinical FindingsThe dog had a large sensitive bladder, palpation of which was followed by painful urination. Pollakiuria accompanied by vocalization were noted during observation of voiding.DiagnosticsCystoscopy identified a focal, rounded expansion of epithelial tissue in the right lateral aspect of the urethral papilla containing purulent material consistent with an abscess. A sample submitted for culture yielded growth of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Proteus mirabilis.Treatment and OutcomePurulent material was expelled by manual pressure during cystourethroscopy. Enrofloxacin (10 mg/kg PO q24h for 42 days) and carprofen (4.4 mg/kg PO q24h for 14 days) were initiated. Clinical signs resolved within 2 days.Clinical RelevanceInflammation in the region of the lesser vestibular paraurethral glands should be considered as a differential for female dogs presenting with chronic dysuria.
Meiofauna: Anthropogenic impacts on hidden players in ecosystem
Authors: Eleftheriou Anastasios 
Published: September 2023

AbstractCertain aspects of meiobenthos research are given detailed and comprehensive attention in Chapter 7 (Hidden players: meiofauna mediate ecosystem effects of anthropogenic Disturbances in the ocean) of the Springer publication ‘New Horizons in Meiobenthos Research; Profiles, Patterns and Potential’ (O. Giere & M. Schratzberger (Eds.). This book review is concerned solely with Chapter 7 which underlines the view that meiofaunal species play a very important part as hidden players in the impacts of anthropogenic disturbances in the ocean, an aspect justifiably arousing global concerns. The chapter constitutes a veritable compendium where much that was previously unsuspected in those ‘untouched reaches’, is revealed under the scrutiny of its many internationally known authors. Of its ten sections, eight deal consecutively with the impact of disturbances caused by anthropogenic activities such as bottom fishing, pollution from organic sources, hydrocarbons, oil and chemical impacts, invasive species and climate change, followed by a section on the resilience of the meiofauna to such disturbances and the scale of their responses, with a final section outlining a forward perspective for future research. In addition, Chapter 7 contains an extensive bibliography which itself constitutes an important reference resource for researchers.
Quantitative approaches for including equity in risk and resilience infrastructure planning analyses

Published: September 2023

AbstractRisk and resilience assessments for critical infrastructure focus on myriad objectives, from natural hazard evaluations to optimizing investments. Although research has started to characterize externalities associated with current or possible future states, incorporation of equity priorities at project inception is increasingly being recognized as critical for planning related activities. However, there is no standard methodology that guides development of equity‐informed quantitative approaches for infrastructure planning activities. To address this gap, we introduce a logic model that can be tailored to capture nuances about specific geographies and community priorities, effectively incorporating them into different mathematical approaches for quantitative risk assessments. Specifically, the logic model uses a graded, iterative approach to clarify specific equity objectives as well as inform the development of equations being used to support analysis. We demonstrate the utility of this framework using case studies spanning aviation fuel, produced water, and microgrid electricity infrastructures. For each case study, the use of the logic model helps clarify the ways that local priorities and infrastructure needs are used to drive the types of data and quantitative methodologies used in the respective analyses. The explicit consideration of methodological limitations (e.g., data mismatches) and stakeholder engagements serves to increase the transparency of the associated findings as well as effectively integrate community nuances (e.g., ownership of assets) into infrastructure assessments. Such integration will become increasingly important to ensure that planning activities (which occur throughout the lifecycle of the infrastructure projects) lead to long‐lasting solutions to meet both energy and sustainable development goals for communities.
Combined aerobic and muscle‐strengthening activity guidelines and their association with obesity in US adolescents
Authors: García‐Hermoso Antonio , Izquierdo Mikel , López‐Gil José Francisco 
Published: September 2023

AbstractMost of the evidence on physical activity for maintaining a healthy weight in adolescents is based solely on aerobic physical activity alone, with little attention given to the muscle strength component. This study aimed to investigate the associations between aerobic activities and muscle‐strengthening activities (MSA) and overweight/obesity among a representative sample of adolescents. Data from the United States‐based Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System for the 2011–2019 cycle were used in this cross‐sectional study. Adolescents self‐reported their adherence to aerobic and MSA guidelines, as well as their height and weight. Overweight and obesity were defined using the age‐ and sex‐specific criteria of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with a body mass index (BMI) ≥85th and ≥95th percentiles, respectively. We examined the associations between adherence to physical activity guidelines (reference: not meeting either of the physical activity guidelines) and overweight/obesity or obesity using binary logistic regressions. These analyses were adjusted for race/ethnicity, sex, age, screen time, sleep duration, tobacco, alcohol, fruit, vegetables, and soda consumption. A total of 42 829 adolescents (48.98% girls) were included in the study. Of these, 22.23% met both guidelines for physical activity, 30.47% had overweight/obesity, and 14.51% had obesity. Compared with meeting neither guideline, meeting both aerobic and MSA guidelines was associated with lower odds of having overweight/obesity (odds ratio [OR] = 0.64, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.60 to 0.68) and obesity (OR = 0.52, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.56). These results were consistent across years of assessment, sex, and race/ethnicity. In conclusion, our results highlight the importance of MSA, which is often overlooked in physical activity recommendations in many studies, in combating childhood obesity in the United States.
Order effects and oral argument at the US Supreme Court
Authors: Owens Ryan J. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractObjectiveFor years, scholars have employed Justice Harry Blackmun's private grades of attorneys to measure attorney oral argument quality. Using archival data, I analyze whether Justice Blackmun experienced order effects.MethodsI estimate numerous ordinary least squares regression models on private archival data.ResultsBlackmun's respondent grades appear to have been influenced by his perceptions of how the petitioners performed. This finding holds across a series of checks, including those that examine whether some cases simply attract better or worse attorneys.ConclusionThe results suggest that scholars should not use the Blackmun grades as “point estimates” but, instead, as rankings. They also suggest that previous findings may have overstated the influence of oral argument. The fact that one justice displayed evidence of a cognitive illusion also suggests that such effects may exist in various aspects of decision making.
Effect of Air-Liquid Homogeneous Mixture on the Linear Dynamic Characteristics of a Hydrostatic Journal Bearing
Authors: Voitus Anthony , Arghir Mihai , Hassini Mohamed-Amine 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Water lubricated hydrostatic journal bearings are widely used to support radial load of pumps in nuclear power plants. In some situations, these pumps may be required to operate with a mixture of water and air. This compressible air–water mixture will alter the dynamic characteristics of the hydrostatic journal bearings and can have a significant impact on the vibration behavior of the entire pump shaft line. This work is a parametrical investigation of the rotordynamic characteristics of these bearings relative to the volume fraction of the ingested air. The compressibility, the density, and the viscosity of the air–water mixture depend on this volume fraction. In order to evaluate this influence, a homogeneous air-liquid mixture model were developed. Moreover, for low viscosity lubricants, inertia effects can also have an important impact on bearing rotordynamic coefficients. Therefore, the flow is modeled first with the Reynolds equation and then with the bulk flow system of equations to evaluate this impact. The results show the variation of the direct and cross-coupling stiffness and of the direct damping with the evolution of inertial effects and of the level of air contamination.

ABSTRACT

Small colony variants are relatively common among some bacterial species and are associated with poor prognosis and recalcitrant infections. Similarly,
Candida glabrata—
a major intracellular fungal pathogen—produces small and slow-growing respiratory-deficient colonies, termed “petite.” Despite reports of clinical petite
C. glabrata
strains, our understanding of petite behavior in the host remains obscure. Moreover, controversies exist regarding in-host petite fitness and its clinical relevance. Herein, we employed whole-genome sequencing (WGS), dual-RNAseq, and extensive
ex vivo
and
in vivo
studies to fill this knowledge gap. WGS identified multiple petite-specific mutations in nuclear and mitochondrially encoded genes. Consistent with dual-RNAseq data, petite
C. glabrata
cells did not replicate inside host macrophages and were outcompeted by their non-petite parents in macrophages and in gut colonization and systemic infection mouse models. The intracellular petites showed hallmarks of drug tolerance and were relatively insensitive to the fungicidal activity of echinocandin drugs. Petite-infected macrophages exhibited a pro-inflammatory and type I IFN-skewed transcriptional program. Interrogation of international
C. glabrata
blood isolates (
n
= 1000) showed that petite prevalence varies by country, albeit at an overall low prevalence (0%–3.5%). Collectively, our study sheds new light on the genetic basis, drug susceptibility, clinical prevalence, and host-pathogen responses of a clinically overlooked phenotype in a major fungal pathogen.

Importance

Candida glabrata
is a major fungal pathogen, which is able to lose mitochondria and form small and slow-growing colonies, called “petite.” This attenuated growth rate has created controversies and questioned the clinical importance of petiteness. Herein, we have employed multiple omics technologies and
in vivo
mouse models to critically assess the clinical importance of petite phenotype. Our WGS identifies multiple genes potentially underpinning petite phenotype. Interestingly, petite
C. glabrata
cells engulfed by macrophages are dormant and, therefore, are not killed by the frontline antifungal drugs. Interestingly, macrophages infected with petite cells mount distinct transcriptomic responses. Consistent with our
ex vivo
observations, mitochondrial-proficient parental strains outcompete petites during systemic and gut colonization. Retrospective examination of
C. glabrata
isolates identified petite prevalence a rare entity, which can significantly vary from country to country. Collectively, our study overcomes the existing controversies and provides novel insights regarding the clinical relevance of petite
C. glabrata
isolates.
Asynchronous Compaction Acceleration Scheme for Near-data Processing-enabled LSM-tree-based KV Stores

Published: September 2023

LSM-tree-based key-value stores (KV stores) convert random-write requests to sequence-write ones to achieve high I/O performance. Meanwhile, compaction operations in KV stores update SSTables in forms of reorganizing low-level data components to high-level ones, thereby guaranteeing an orderly data layout in each component. Repeated writes caused by compaction (a.k.a. write amplification) impacts I/O bandwidth and overall system performance. Near-data processing (NDP) is one of the effective approaches to addressing this write-amplification issue. Most NDP-based techniques adopt synchronous parallel schemes to perform a compaction task on both the host and its NDP-enabled device. In synchronous parallel compaction schemes, the execution time of compaction is determined by a subsystem that has lower compaction performance coupled by under-utilized computing resources in a NDP framework. To solve this problem, we propose an asynchronous parallel scheme named
PStore
to improve the compaction performance in KV stores. In PStore, we designed a multi-tasks queue and three priority-based scheduling methods. PStore elects proper compaction tasks to be offloaded in host- and device-side compaction modules. Our proposed cross-leveled compaction mechanism mitigates write amplification induced by asynchronous compaction. PStore featured with the asynchronous compaction mechanism fully utilizes computing resources in both host- and device-side subsystems. Compared with the two popular synchronous compaction modes based on KV stores (TStore and LevelDB), our PStore immensely improves the throughput by up to a factor of 14 and 10.52 with an average of a factor of 2.09 and 1.73, respectively.

Aim. The aim of this study is to explore the effects of ethical leadership on nurses’ organizational silence and the mediating role of organizational justice. Background. Organizational silence is considered to be an unethical and destructive influence on healthcare organizations. Ethical leadership has an important influence on nurses’ organizational silence. Yet, the effect of mechanism among ethical leadership, nurses’ organizational silence, and the perceived organizational justice remains unknown. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 896 nurses in 11 hospitals in Henan Province, China, using a stratified sampling method. Data were analyzed using correlation analysis, one-way analysis of variance, and PROCESS macro. Results. Chinese nurses spoke highly of the ethical leadership of their nurse managers. Organizational justice and silence among nurses were at moderate levels. Ethical leadership significantly predicted nurses’ organizational justice (β = 0.453,

P

< 0.001) and nurses’ organizational silence (β = −0.450,

P

< 0.001). Organizational justice played a partially mediating role in ethical leadership and nurses’ organizational silence. Conclusion. Developing ethical leadership and improving organizational justice for nurses are critical to reduce organizational silence among nurses. Implications for Nursing Management. Hospitals can break organizational silence by developing ethical leadership in nurse managers through training related to ethical leadership, such as leadership programs. In addition, nurse managers can reduce the occurrence of organizational silence by increasing nurses’ sense of organizational justice.
