Key Clinical MessageTemporal percutaneous transhepatic duodenum drainage (PTDD) seems to be effective in the treatment of postoperative afferent loop syndrome (ALS) following transverse loop colostomy for obstructive colorectal cancer.AbstractManagement of obstructive colorectal cancer still remains a challenge. There are various options with different risks of mortality and mobility for obstructive colorectal cancer. A rare unexpected postoperative ALS following a low anterior resection and transverse loop colostomy for obstructive colorectal cancer is presented in this report. A 64‐year‐old man had the acute ALS had been noted 10 days after transverse loop colostomy. An option was temporal PTDD treatment in the patient with history of Billroth's operation II for upper gastrointestinal bleeding 30 years ago. Acute ALS was treated by temporal PTDD. The drainage tube for PTDD was not removed until closure of the transverse colostomy 2 months later. The patient recovered uneventfully. Acute ALS after transverse loop colostomy for obstructive colorectal cancer is rare and has never been reported in the literature. The mechanism of acute ALS after construction of a loop colostomy and the treatment strategy of PTDD for acute ALS is presented.

Authors: Godar Amar S. , Norsworthy Jason K. , Barber L. Tom 
Published: July 2023

Core Ideas
Conventional corn can tolerate low rates of glyphosate drift.
Corn usually recovers from very low drift rates of glyphosate within three to five weeks after exposure.
Generally, corn plants become less sensitive to glyphosate drift at later vegetative growth.
Corn response to glyphosate drift may vary depending on the weather conditions following the exposure.

AbstractWe report the design and synthesis of eight photoswitchable phenylazopyridine‐ and phenylazopyrazole‐based molecular systems as chelation‐type light‐controllable ligands. Besides the studies on fundamental photoisomerization behaviour, the ligands were also screened for light‐tuneable properties such as photochromism, phase transition, and solubility, especially in the aqueous medium. This investigation demonstrates how the modulation of aqueous solubility can be achieved through photoisomerization and can further be utilized towards controlling the amount of catalytically active Cu(I) species in the aqueous conditions. Through this approach, light control over the catalytic activity was achieved for Cu‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions, along with a partial recovery of the catalytically active species.

AbstractThe creation of complementary products via templating is a hallmark feature of nucleic acid replication. Outside of nucleic acid‐like molecules, the templated synthesis of a hetero‐complementary copy is still rare. Herein we describe one cycle of templated synthesis that creates homomeric macrocyclic peptides guided by linear instructing strands. This strategy utilizes hydrazone formation to pre‐organize peptide oligomeric monomers along the template on a solid support resin, and microwave‐assisted peptide synthesis to couple monomers and cyclize the strands. With a flexible templating strand, we can alter the size of the complementary macrocycle products by increasing the length and number of the binding peptide oligomers, showing the potential to precisely tune the size of macrocyclic products. For the smaller macrocyclic peptides, the products can be released via hydrolysis and characterized by ESI‐MS.

AbstractNeutral aqueous flow batteries with common traits of the redox flow batteries, such as the independence of energy and power, scalability and operational flexibility, and additional merits of outstanding safety and low corrosivity show great promise for storing massive electrical energy from solar and wind energy. Particularly, the ferricyanide/ferrocyanide ([Fe(CN)6]3−/4−) couple has been intensively employed as redox mediator to store energy in the catholyte ascribed to its abundance, low corrosivity, remarkable redox reversibility and stability. However, the low energy density arising from poor solubility of [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− restricts their commercial applications for energy storage systems. In this study, the practical energy density of a [Fe(CN)6]3−/4−‐based catholyte is significantly boosted from 10.5 to 92.8 Wh L−1 by combining the counter‐ion effect and the single‐molecule redox‐targeting (SMRT) reactions between [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− and Prussian blue (Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, PB)/Prussian white (PW). Paired with concentrated K2S anolyte, we demonstrate a neutral aqueous SMRT‐based PB−Fe/S flow battery with ultra‐long lifespan over 7000 cycles (4500 h) and ultra‐low chemical cost of electrolytes in the cell as 19.26 $ kWh−1. Remarkably, under the influences of SMRT reactions in the presence of PB granules in the catholyte, the capacity after 7000 cycles of the PB−Fe/S flow battery is 181.8 % of the initial capacity without PB.

AbstractBackgroundLumbopelvic pain is considered the most frequent complication during pregnancy.ObjectiveTo compare whether the combination of exercise with education is more effective for the treatment of low back and/or pelvic pain (PP) than each of these interventions separately in pregnant women.Search StrategyA systematic review was performed in WOS, PEDro, PubMed, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov. The terms used were low back pain, PP, pregnancy, pregnant woman, exercise, exercise therapy, health education, and prenatal education.Selection CriteriaThe PICO question was then chosen as follows: P—population: pregnant women with nonspecific low back pain or PP; I—intervention: exercise therapy plus health education; C—control: only exercise therapy or only health education; O—outcome: characteristics of pain, disability, and kinesophobia; S—study designs: randomized controlled trial.Data Collection and AnalysisTwo reviewers independently screened articles for eligibility. The following inclusion criteria were applied for the selection of studies: (i) published in the past 10 years; (ii) exercise plus health education was administered compared with a group receiving either exercise or education alone; and (iii) the sample consisted of pregnant women with nonspecific low back pain or PP. This review excluded: (i) nonrandomized controlled trials; and (ii) articles whose full text was not available. The meta‐analysis was performed using the random‐effects model, due to the observed heterogeneity.Main ResultsA total of 13 articles were selected. There is a significant decrease in pain in the combination of exercise and education compared with education alone (standardized mean difference, −0.29 [95% confidence interval, −0.47 to −0.11]). With respect to disability, there is a significant decrease in the exercise and education group compared with the group that only addressed education (standardized mean difference, −0.37 [95% CI, −0.60 to −0.14]). One article analyzed kinesophobia, reporting no significant changes.ConclusionThe combination of exercise and education seems to be more effective in reducing pain and disability in pregnant women with low back and/or PP than the use of education alone. In kinesophobia, the results found are not significant.

AbstractThe synergistic effect of bimetallic co‐incorporated metal oxides have gained enormous attention due to their unique optoelectronic properties. Herein, we present the green synthesis of ZnO, Cu‐incorporated ZnO, Mn‐incorporated ZnO, and Cu‐Mn co‐incorporated nanoparticles (ZnO NPs, CuZnO NPs, MnZnO NPs, MnCuZnO NPs) for antimicrobial and photocatalytic reduction applications using corn silk extract and industrial metal wastes. The as‐synthesized NPs were characterized by using UV‐visible absorption spectroscopy (UV‐Vis), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, Fourier‐transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), powdered x‐ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). CuZnO, MnZnO, and MnCuZnO NPs efficiently inhibited bacterial culture growth. The photocatalytic reduction activity of as‐synthesized NPs against the different concentrations of 4‐nitrophenol (4‐NP) in water was also investigated. CuZnO and MnCuZnO nanoparticles were to be efficient photocatalysts for reducing 4‐NP into 4‐aminophenol (4‐AP).Research Highlights

Published: July 2023

AbstractIt is important for territorial spatial planning to master meteorological disaster risk under the conditions of climate change and then carry out risk adaptation planning according to local conditions. Taking Beijing, a large city in China, as an example, a meteorological disaster risk assessment model was established based on the framework of hazard factors, disaster‐bearing body exposure, and vulnerability of underlying surface. Combined with 11 years of observation data from 293 high‐density weather stations, the rainstorm and high‐temperature risks of urban, agriculture, and ecological spaces were studied. The results show that (1) rainstorms and high‐temperature are mainly distributed in the built‐up areas of plain towns, which are the climate risk factors that need to be considered. (2) The central city of Beijing is at a high risk of rainstorms and high temperature, indicating that the underlying surface and disaster‐bearing body are highly vulnerable to meteorological disasters. (3) In suburbs with agricultural land, there is a certain rainstorm risk in Fangshan and Daxing districts, and a risk of high temperatures in the southern part of Tongzhou and Daxing. (4) The risk of high temperatures in the ecological space (eco‐zone) is relatively low, but the rainstorm risk is relatively high in Pinggu and Miyun. (5) The strategies of coping with rainstorm and high‐temperature disaster risk in Beijing's territorial space planning were discussed.

AbstractAim‘Helplessness’ is one of the psychological concepts that exploring nurses' helplessness during the COVID‐19 pandemic can lead to timely intervention and empowerment of nurses.DesignConcept development.MethodsIt was carried out using Schwartz‐Barcott and Kim's hybrid model.ResultsIn the literature review, helplessness is characterized by anxiety symptoms (muscle tension, headache, anorexia and insomnia) and, to some extent, depression (loneliness, guilt, apathy and insensitivity). In the fieldwork, five categories were obtained, including antecedents of helplessness (the nature of the disease, professional responsibility, personal lifestyle disruption and social behaviours), attributes of helplessness (inability to do more for the patient, inability to control the situation, feeling of uselessness, frustration, giving up and uncertainty to continue), consequences of helplessness (increase clinical error, physical manifestations and psychological manifestations), strategies to reduce feelings of helplessness and the difference among helplessness, powerlessness and hopelessness.ConclusionNurses' helplessness occurs when the nurse has no control over the situation and cannot change it.
Bullying and victimization in schools: Causal relationship between adolescent disruptive behavior, sleep schedules, and extended school hours
Authors: Figueiredo Sandra 
Published: July 2023

AbstractVery few studies have identified the relationship between chronotype, sleep habits, and bullying/victimization in school and online contexts. The objective of this work is to identify predictors of frequency of bullying/cyberbullying in Portuguese pubescent and adolescent populations, such as chronotype and sleep aspects, controlling for gender, age, grade, and school attendance hours. One hundred and seventeen Portuguese students from the second and third grades of elementary school were considered, 41 (34.5%) of which were males and 76 (63.9%) were females. The measures used were the Children's Chronotype Questionnaire and the Bullying and Cyberbullying Behaviors Questionnaire: Short Form (BCBQ‐SF). Percentile analyses, multivariate analysis of variance, nonparametric tests, and hierarchical and nonhierarchical linear logistic regression analyses were performed to confirm the prediction models and to identify causal variables moderating the effect of bullying and victimization in adolescents of various ages and school grades, with different school and sleep schedules. Adolescents with more episodes of victimization had higher sleeping problems, especially in terms of sleep duration (late hours of awakening/rest times and falling asleep, especially on days off); the school grade, the average daily school attendance hours, and school entrance time were some predictors found. The model differed in the variable of hours of curricular enrichment activities. The higher the eveningness score, the more aggression was reported.

Published: July 2023

AbstractIn semi‐arid regions where irrigation causes thermal surface heterogeneities, evapotranspiration is controlled not only by the land surface but also by the interaction between the surface and the atmospheric boundary layer. The spatial scale of heterogeneity impacts the processes that drive the diurnal variability of evapotranspiration. In this study, we combine data with a conceptual, coupled land–atmosphere model to study the drivers of evapotranspiration across spatial scales of heterogeneity for the Land Interactions with the Atmosphere in the Iberian Semi‐arid Environment (LIAISE) field campaign. We use a latent heat tendency equation as a diagnostic tool to quantify the contributions of various surface‐ and boundary‐layer driven processes on surface latent heat flux. We define the following spatial scales based on surface characteristics: regional, landscape, and local. We find that, at the regional and landscape scales (1 km), the feedback mechanisms between the surface fluxes and the resulting boundary‐layer dynamics enhance the daily latent heat flux by 64% to 77%. Conversely, at the local scale (100 m), surface‐driven processes are most important for governing evapotranspiration. At the local scale, we find that the energy stored at the surface enhances evaporation in the late afternoon, which could explain the observed time lag between net radiation and latent heat flux. Furthermore, the combined effects of entrainment at the boundary‐layer top and advection of heat and moisture enhance daily latent heat by 27% at the regional scale to 43% at the local scale. This analysis also has implications for the land‐surface modelling community. It suggests that properly reproducing evapotranspiration to capture the relevant processes depends on capacity of the model to resolve the interaction of scales in surface heterogeneous conditions.

Published: July 2023

AbstractComputational modeling enables researchers to study and understand various complex biological phenomena in anticancer drug delivery systems (DDSs), especially nano‐sized DDSs (NSDDSs). The combination of NSDDSs and therapeutic ultrasound (TUS), that is, focused ultrasound and low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound, has made significant progress in recent years, opening many opportunities for cancer treatment. Multiple parameters require tuning and optimization to develop effective DDSs, such as NSDDSs, in which mathematical modeling can prove advantageous. In silico computational modeling of ultrasound‐responsive DDS typically involves a complex framework of acoustic interactions, heat transfer, drug release from nanoparticles, fluid flow, mass transport, and pharmacodynamic governing equations. Owing to the rapid development of computational tools, modeling the different phenomena in multi‐scale complex problems involved in drug delivery to tumors has become possible. In the present study, we present an in‐depth review of recent advances in the mathematical modeling of TUS‐mediated DDSs for cancer treatment. A detailed discussion is also provided on applying these computational models to improve the clinical translation for applications in cancer treatment.This article is categorized under:

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe brown‐headed nuthatch (Sitta pusilla) was likely extirpated from Missouri in the early 1900s as a result of habitat loss through extensive logging. Conservation partners including the Missouri Department of Conservation, United States Forest Service, University of Missouri, and others, relocated 102 brown‐headed nuthatches from Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas to Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri in 2020 and 2021 to establish a local population. We tracked 50 individuals for 24 ± 11 (median ± SD) days after release using radio telemetry and monitored movements in relation to sex and whether a bird was captured alone or as part of a group. We examined 25‐day survival using a spatial Cormack Jolly Seber (sCJS) model to account for likely dispersal outside of our study area. All birds survived capture, transport, and release. The 25‐day survival estimate was 0.56 (95% CI = 0.36–0.78) in 2020 and 0.68 (95% CI = 0.46–0.89) in 2021. Mean total distance moved following release was 5,670 (SD = 3,407) m and mean daily movement was 243 (SD = 135) m which was less than the mean daily dispersal distance estimated from our sCJS model (420 m, SD = 221). Our short‐term monitoring suggests initial success of the translocation, but continued monitoring is needed to evaluate long‐term success. Our survival analysis approach, which included movement data, illustrates the importance of considering dispersal when estimating survival.
