Solely Carers and Nurturers?
Authors: Caron Roxane , Fally Marie , Blain Marie-Jeanne 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Dominant discourses surrounding motherhood assume mothers to be self-sacrificing, omnipresent, and ever willing and able to respond to the needs and wants of their children. This article argues that, in the context of violent conflict and exile, mothering becomes yet more laden with expectations as mothers are faced with critical situations. The article draws on research from an intersectional perspective that is aimed at a better understanding of the trajectories of refugees from Syria who have settled in Canada and Lebanon and for whom motherhood emerged as a salient aspect of identity and experience. The article argues that more attention should be paid to the social construction of motherhood through its transformation in the context of violent conflict and exile. The article is concerned with the identities that these experiences unfold for mothers, far beyond simplistic binaries of “good” versus “bad” mothers. The article explores how three refugee mothers from Syria who experienced forced migration have nurtured their children, while it reveals their realities of discrimination and empowerment at the crossroads of structural dominant forces.
The LGBTI+ Movement in Turkey
Authors: Doğu Burak , Pasin Begüm 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Based on in-depth interviews and secondary data, this study investigates how the LGBTI+ movement in Turkey establishes and uses networks at the individual and organizational levels. At the individual level, the article reveals the networking practices of actors engaged in the LGBTI+ movement and examines the effects of networking on their identification with the movement, as well as their decision-shaping processes. At the organizational level, it explores networking practices with a particular focus on resource transfer. The study’s findings indicate that these two levels are complementary, facilitating the expansion of the LGBTI+ movement in Turkey. Networks not only help LGBTI+ individuals socialize and identify themselves with the movement but also contribute to its mobilization by enabling the transfer of material and nonmaterial resources between organizations.

An Optimization-Based Scheduling Methodology for Appointment Systems with Heterogeneous Customers and Nonstationary Arrival Processes
Authors: Chatterjee Sohom , Hebaish Youssef , Aprahamian Hrayer , Ntaimo Lewis 
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we analyze appointment systems involving heterogeneous customers, each requesting different services, with nonstationary arrival processes. The main goal is to identify server schedules that lead to good-performing systems, which we measure through the expected system time and the number of customer rejections. This decision problem arises in a number of applications and is especially relevant when certain service types dominate other service types. A key challenge in this analysis is the lack of closed-form analytical expressions that characterize the performance of the system. In this work, we construct a stylized optimization model based on a pointwise stationary approximation that emulates the original stochastic system. An analysis of the resulting stylized model comprised of a single customer type leads to key structural properties which we use to devise a globally convergent solution scheme that runs in polynomial time. This solution scheme is then generalized to the case of multiple customer types for two different formulations of the decision problem. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we conduct a case study on Texas A&M University’s College and Psychological Services. Our results show that our optimal solutions substantially improve the performance of the system over current practices by reducing access time for critical mental health services by as much as 56%. Our analysis also identifies an easily implementable scheduling policy consisting of a single modification whose performance is within 10% of the more complex policies. History: Accepted by J.

Recursive McCormick Linearization of Multilinear Programs
Authors: Cardonha Carlos , Raghunathan Arvind , Bergman David , Nohra Carlos 
Published: January 2025

Linear programming (LP) relaxations are widely employed in exact solution methods for multilinear programs (MLPs). These relaxations can be obtained by using recursive McCormick linearizations (RMLs), by which an MLP is linearized by iteratively substituting bilinear products with artificial variables and constraints. This article introduces a systematic approach to identifying RMLs. We focus on identifying RMLs with a small number of artificial variables and strong LP bounds. We present a novel mechanism for representing all the possible RMLs, which we use to design an exact mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation to identify minimum-size RMLs; this problem is NP-hard in general, but we show that it is fixed-parameter tractable if each monomial is composed of at most three variables. Moreover, we explore the structural properties of our formulation to derive an exact MIP model that identifies RMLs of a given size with the best-possible LP relaxation bound. We test our algorithms by conducting numerical experiments on a large collection of MLPs. Numerical results indicate that the RMLs obtained with our algorithms can be significantly smaller than those derived from heuristic or greedy approaches, leading, in many cases, to tighter LP relaxation bounds. Moreover, our linearization strategies can be used to reformulate MLPs as quadratically constrained programs (QCPs), which can then be efficiently solved using state-of-the-art solvers for QCPs. This QCP-based solution approach is highly beneficial for hard MLP instances. History: Accepted by Andrea Lodi, Area Editor for Design & Analysis of Algorithms—Discrete.

Authors: Ware Anna D. , Blumke Terri L. , Hoover Peter J. , Veigulis Zach P. , Ferguson Jacqueline M. , Pillai Malvika , Osborne Thomas F. 
Published: January 2025

Background
The intrauterine device (IUD) is a highly effective form of long-acting reversible contraception, widely recognized for its convenience and efficacy. Despite its benefits, many patients report moderate to severe pain during and after their IUD insertion procedure. Furthermore, reports suggest significant variability in pain control medications, including no adequate pain medication. The aim of this evaluation was to assess the pharmaceutical pain medication types, proportions, and trends related to IUD insertion procedures within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).

Methods
IUD insertion procedures documented in the VA electronic health record were assessed from 1/1/2018 to 10/13/2023. Descriptive statistics described patient and facility characteristics while annual trends were assessed using linear regression.

Results
Out of the 28,717 procedures captured, only 11.4% had any form of prescribed pain medication identified. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) were the most frequently prescribed pain medication category (8.3%), with ibuprofen being the most common pain medication overall (6.1%). Over the assessment period, there was an average annual increase of 0.52% (p = 0.038) of procedures with prescribed pain medication, increasing from 10.3% in 2018 to 13.3% in 2023.

Conclusions
Although IUD insertion procedures have been seeing an increase in prescribed pain medication, the overall proportion remains disproportionality low relative to the pain experienced. Additionally, when pain interventions were initiated, they disproportionally utilized medication that have been shown to be ineffective. The intent of the work is that the information will help guide data driven pain medication strategies for patients undergoing IUD insertion procedures within the VHA.
Things Latinas need to plan for safety: A dual-site concept mapping study
Authors: Velonis Alisa , Baeza Maria Jose , McGown Molly , Magaña Daisy , Maldonado Jasmine , O’Campo Patricia , Metheny Nicholas 
Published: January 2025

Background
Latina women in the United States experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at high rates, but evidence suggests Latinas seek help for IPV at lower rates than other communities. Safety planning is an approach that provides those experiencing IPV with concrete actions to increase their safety and referrals to formal services. While safety planning is shown to reduce future incidences of violence, little is known about the safety planning priorities of Latinas.

Approach
This study leveraged Group Concept Mapping, a mixed-method process consisting of brainstorming, sorting, rating, and interpreting. First, 17 Latinas who were survivors of IPV and/or professional advocates generated responses to a focal prompt. Next, 19 participants pile-sorted a list of unduplicated responses into categories. Data were analyzed using multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis and results were iteratively refined by the study team. Forty-two Latina participants in Chicago and Miami rated each item based on its necessity for safety using two scenarios: if a survivor planned to leave a partner or remain in the relationship. Bivariate correlation analyses were used to examine differences in safety planning priorities across multiple axes. Finally, results were shared with participants for feedback and contextualization.

Results
Combined, a total of 46 Latinas participated in data collection activities. Brainstorming and sorting data generated seven clusters of safety planning needs. Statistically significant differences in cluster rating were found for women who intended to leave a relationship (for whom legal services was most necessary) versus those who intended to stay (for whom safety planning services were critical) and those in Chicago versus those in Miami.

Conclusions
This study contributes to the small, but growing, literature regarding safety planning needs of Latinas in the US and illustrates potential ways in which future safety planning interventions should be tailored to these communities.

Published: January 2025

Background
The lives of adolescents and young people living with HIV (LHIV) are dominated by complex psychological and social stressors. These may be more pronounced among those perinatally infected. This longitudinal mixed-methods study describes the clinical and psychosocial challenges faced by HIV perinatally infected young mothers in Harare, Zimbabwe to inform tailored support.

Methods
HIV perinatally infected young mothers were recruited in 2013 and followed up in 2019. In 2013, they completed a structured interview, clinical examination, psychological screening and had viral load and drug resistance testing. A subset completed in-depth interviews (n = 10). In 2019, they were re-interviewed and had viral load testing. Data were analyzed using STATA 15.0. and thematic analysis.

Results
Nineteen mothers aged 17–24 years were recruited in 2013. Eleven (57.9%) were successfully recontacted in 2019; 3 had died, 2 had relocated and 3 were untraceable. In 2013, all 19 mothers were taking antiretroviral therapy (median duration 8 years, range 2–11 years) and median CD4 count was 524 (IQR 272). In 2013, eight mothers (42.1%) had virological failure (≥1000 copies/ml) (3 of whom subsequently died) and 7 (36.8%) had evidence of drug resistance. In 2019, the proportion with virological failure was 2/11 (18.1%). Six of 11 (54.5%) had switched to second line therapy. In 2013, 64.3% were at risk of common mental disorder and this risk was higher at follow-up (72.7%). Qualitative data highlighted three pertinent themes: HIV status disclosure, adherence experiences and, social and emotional support.

Conclusions
Findings from this study underscore the significant clinical, social and psychological challenges faced by perinatally infected young mothers. The high rates of virological failure, drug resistant mutations, mental health issues and mortality observed in this population indicate the need for tailored and comprehensive health and support services to assist these young mothers.
Sex differences in the association between composite dietary antioxidant index and hyperlipidemia: Insights from NHANES
Authors: Miao Xiaofan , Li Bixia , Zhu Zhixian , Yang Tao 
Published: January 2025

Background
Previous studies have shown that both the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and sex are strongly associated with a variety of cardiovascular diseases, but sex differences between CDAI and hyperlipidemia are unknown.

Objective
This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to investigate the sex differences between CDAI and hyperlipidemia.

Method
We calculated the CDAI of the six dietary antioxidants using data from NHANES, explored the relationship between CDAI and the prevalence of hyperlipidemia using multivariate logistic regression analysis, and analyzed for potential nonlinear associations using restricted cubic spline. Finally, the association between CDAI and hyperlipidemia was further explored using multivariate logistic regression in different genders.

Results
The study included a total of 34,754 participants with a mean age of 47.04 years, of whom 49.37% were man. In a fully adjusted multivariable binary logistic regression model, CDAI was negatively associated with the prevalence of hyperlipidemia (OR = 0.99, 95% CI:0.98–0.99). In addition, participants in the highest quartile had a lower risk of hyperlipidaemia compared with the lowest quartile of CDAI (OR = 0.83, 95%CI: 0.76–0.92). We also found a non-linear relationship (non-linear P = 0.003, Inflection point = -0.179). Finally, we found that the association between CDAI and the prevalence of hyperlipidemia was significantly stronger in the female population than in the male population (P for interaction <0.05).

Conclusion
Our study highlights the L-shaped association between CDAI and the prevalence of hyperlipidemia in the general adult population. In addition, this association was more significant in the female population than in the male population.
Evaluation of endothelialization of an occluder device with cardiac computed tomography and assessment of the pathological validation
Authors: Liu Ang , Duan Xuejing , Wang Ke , Fan Hongguang , Li Li , Yan Chaowu 
Published: January 2025

Background
Assessing the endothelialization of occlusive devices noninvasively remains a challenge. Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) can be employed to evaluate device endothelialization based on contrast uptake within the occluder.

Objective
This study examined device endothelialization using cardiac CTA and investigated the pathological associations.

Methods
From January 2010 to May 2022, we retrospectively analyzed 25 patients (age: 50.00 [17.00, 52.00] years; 12 Female) who underwent surgical device removal within 1 month after cardiac CTA examination (implantation period: 29.00[0.50, 108.00] months). The contrast uptake within the occluder was determined using cardiac CTA. The relationship between contrast uptake within the occluder and the endothelialization status with pathology was analyzed.

Results
Contrast uptake within the occluder was identified in 76.00% of patients. Pathological examination confirmed incomplete coverage of fibrotic tissue and superposed neoendothelium on the surface of all devices exhibiting contrast uptake. This included no coverage in 47.37% of patients and partial coverage in the remaining cases. On the surface of all devices without contrast uptake, a complete range of fibrotic tissue was observed, with an incomplete range of superposed neoendothelium in 66.67% of patients. On the surface of devices with an implantation period > 6 months, 71.43% of patients had incomplete coverage of fibrotic tissue and superposed neoendothelium on the left disc, 42.86% of patients occurred the same on the right disc.

Conclusions
Contrast uptake within the occluder indicated incomplete endothelialization, as confirmed by pathological validation. Late endothelialization of the device occurs frequently, and further research is required to investigate related mechanisms.
Effects of kinesio taping on lower limb biomechanical characteristics during dynamic postural control tasks in individuals with chronic ankle instability
Authors: Yuan Tao , Li Haixia , Wang Guanglan 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Previous studies have demonstrated significant biomechanical differences between individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) and healthy controls during the Y-balance test. This study aimed to examine the effects of kinesio taping (KT) on lower limb biomechanical characteristics during the Y-balance anterior reach task in individuals with CAI.

Methods
A total of 30 participants were recruited, comprising 15 individuals with CAI and 15 healthy controls. All participants were randomly assigned three taping conditions: no taping (NT), placebo taping (PT), and KT, followed by the Y-balance anterior reach task. Each condition was separated by one-week intervals. Kinematic and kinetic data of the lower limbs during the movement phase were collected using the Vicon motion capture system (Vicon, T40, 200 Hz) and two Kistler force platforms (Kistler, 1000 Hz).

Results
KT significantly improved the Y-balance anterior reach distance (P = 0.003) and peak ankle eversion angle (P = 0.019) compared to NT. Additionally, KT resulted in increased peak knee flexion angle (P = 0.002, P = 0.011) and peak ankle dorsiflexion angle (P <0.001, P = 0.005) relative to both NT and PT. KT also significantly reduced mediolateral center of pressure (COP) displacement (P = 0.001) and average velocity of mediolateral COP displacement (P = 0.033) in comparison to NT. Furthermore, KT decreased mediolateral center of gravity displacement (P = 0.002, P = 0.003) relative to both NT and PT.

Conclusion
KT significantly improved abnormal ankle posture by promoting greater ankle dorsiflexion and eversion angles. Additionally, KT reduced mediolateral COP displacement and average velocity to improve postural stability. These changes may contribute to reduced risk of ankle sprains. Therefore, KT may serve as an effective tool for managing recurrent ankle sprains in individuals with CAI.

Parámetros de variabilidad glucémica de la monitorización continua de glucosa como predictores de diabetes: evaluación prospectiva en una población general sin diabetes
Authors: Valle Rodríguez Andrea , Rodríguez García Javier , Camiña Darriba Felix , Ortolá Devesa Juan B. , Rodríguez-Segade Villamarín Santiago 
Published: January 2025

Resumen

Objetivos
Evaluar prospectivamente la capacidad de distintas métricas de variabilidad glucémica obtenidas mediante monitorización continua de glucosa (MCG) para la predicción del desarrollo de diabetes en una población sin diabetes.

Métodos
Se incluyeron 497 participantes sin diabetes del estudio AEGIS. Los participantes utilizaron un sistema de MCG (iPro2®) durante seis días. Se evaluaron las siguientes métricas: desviación estándar (SD), coeficiente de variación (CV) y amplitud media de las excursiones glucémicas (MAGE). Los sujetos fueron seguidos durante una media de 6 años. Se utilizaron curvas ROC para determinar la capacidad predictiva de las métricas de variabilidad glucémica y se calcularon la sensibilidad y especificidad.

Resultados
De los 497 participantes, 16 mujeres (4,9 %) y 9 hombres (5,2 %) desarrollaron diabetes. Las concentraciones iniciales de HbA1c y glucosa en ayunas fueron significativamente más altos en aquellos que progresaron a diabetes. Las métricas de variabilidad glucémica también fueron significativamente mayores en estos individuos (SD: 18 vs. 13 mg/dL; CV: 17 % vs. 14 %; MAGE: 36 vs. 27 mg/dL; p<0,001 en todos los casos). La SD mostró la mayor AUC (0,81), con una sensibilidad del 80 % y una especificidad del 72 % para un punto de corte de 14,9 mg/dL. Las AUC fueron mayores en hombres para todas las métricas estudiadas.

Conclusiones
Las métricas obtenidas por MCG, especialmente la SD, son predictores efectivos de la progresión a diabetes tipo 2 en una población sin diabetes. Estos hallazgos sugieren la utilidad de la variabilidad glucémica en la identificación temprana de individuos en riesgo de desarrollar diabetes.
