Published: September 2023

Summary This article concerns interpreter-mediated Mental Health Act (MHA) (1983) assessments where either a signed or spoken language interpreter is required. It reports data from 132 Approved Mental Health Professionals (AMHPs) in England who have direct experience of such circumstances addressing expertise, training, readiness, and potential influences on the outcome when interpreters are involved. Quantitative data were collected by means of an online survey analyzed descriptively with additional open-ended qualitative responses analyzed thematically. Findings More interpreter-mediated MHA assessments were reported as occurring in hospital than in community settings. Although AMHPs were confident in their expertise, nearly two-thirds felt they were less effective when an interpreter was involved. The vast majority had received only minimal training on how to work with an interpreter. Recording of language and interpreter use in the assessment was revealed as inconsistent. Most AMHPs thought incorrectly that interpreters were subject to mandatory registration with assured minimum standards of qualification and expertise. Practical problems associated with the timeliness of access to interpreters and complexities of using telephone interpreters instead of face to face were raised. AMHPs expressed a wish for more training and guidance including expectations of the interpreter role. Applications Consistent standards of formal recording of interpreter use as part of annual monitoring of the MHA are required to understand any potential inequities of outcome resulting from language mediation. Joint training with interpreters is desirable with more specific guidance and resources for working AMHPs and interpreters to promote best practice.

Study Design Cross-sectional international survey with literature review. Objectives To evaluate the evidence for these strategies and to understand the current trends in prophylactic antibiotic use during ASD surgery through an international survey. Methods An online survey was conducted among international AO Spine members regarding the peri-operative management of patients with ASD. The details of perioperative systemic and topical antibiotic use were solicited. Descriptive data were summarized for the responding surgeons who perform at least 10 long-segment fusions of >5 levels extending to the pelvis annually. Results The literature supports the use of prophylactic antibiotic effective against gram positive organisms. The use of topical vancomycin remains debated, and there is limited evidence for topical tobramycin use. A total of 116 responses were received. 74 (64%) surgeons use topical vancomycin, most usually deep to the fascia only 45 (61%). The most usual dose used is 1-2 g. 4 (3%) surgeons use topical tobramycin deep to fascia. Following surgery, 90 (78%) surgeons use prophylactic cephalosporin with 3 (3%) using cloxacillin, 5 (4%) using ciprofloxacin and 9 (8%) using vancomycin and 6 (5%) using clindamycin either in addition or alone. Conclusions The present survey identifies a trend towards systemic and topical antibiotic prophylaxis primarily targeted at gram positive pathogens. The use of topical tobramycin, proposedly effective against gram negative infections, remains uncommon. There is a lack of consensus in the selection of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis, thus a prospective study of the rates of infection with each strategy would be useful to inform guidelines.

Background: Previous studies of concomitant meniscal injury in athletes with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury have examined age, sex, body mass index (BMI), injury mechanism, and time from injury to surgery as potential risk factors. Purpose: To identify additional risk factors for concomitant meniscal injury, including preinjury joint laxity and lower extremity alignment, in athletes with sport-related ACL injury. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This study included 180 participants aged 13 to 26 years who underwent ACL reconstruction (ACLR) after a first-time ACL injury sustained during participation in sport. Contralateral lower extremity alignment and joint laxity were used as surrogate measures for the injured knee before trauma. Concomitant meniscal tear patterns were identified at the time of ACLR. Sex-specific analyses were conducted. Results: Concomitant meniscal injury was observed in 60.6% of the subjects. The prevalence of concomitant injury was higher in male than female participants (69.9% vs 54.2%; P = .035) due to a higher prevalence of lateral meniscal injuries (56.2% vs 38.3%; P = .018). Among male patients, there was a significant difference in the prevalence of concomitant lateral meniscal tear according to sport participation (≥9 vs <9 h/week: 67.4% vs 35.7%; P = .032). Among male patients, the likelihood of concomitant injury to both the lateral and medial menisci increased by 28.8% for each 1-mm decrease in navicular drop. Among female patients, the likelihood of concomitant injury to the lateral meniscus increased by 15% per degree increase in genu recurvatum and 14% per degree decrease in standing quadriceps angle, with similar effects on the likelihood of concurrent injury to both the lateral and medial menisci. Conclusion: Measures of lower extremity alignment and genu recurvatum previously identified as risk factors for ACL injury were also associated with concomitant meniscal injury in female patients while other risk factors, including BMI and joint laxity, were not. Increased time spent participating in sport and navicular drop were associated with concomitant meniscal injury in male patients.

AbstractDeynekoite, Ca9□Fe3+(PO4)7 (R3c, a = 10.3516(3)Å, c = 37.1599(17)Å, V = 3448.4(3)Å3 and Z = 6), a new mineral of the merrillite group was found in the contact facies of paralava of the Hatrurim Complex in the Daba-Siwaqa pyrometamorphic rock field, Jordan. The paralava, consisting of diopside, tridymite, anorthite, wollastonite and fluorapatite, is enriched in Fe-bearing phosphides and phosphates at the contact with the altered country rock. Cristobalite overgrowing tridymite has a fish-scales texture indicating that temperature of paralava could have reached 1500°C. Deynekoite with empirical formula (Ca8.90Na0.11K0.02)Σ9.03(Fe3+0.62Mg0.30Al0.05)Σ0.97P6.98V5+0.05O27.70(OH)0.30 forms transparent, light-yellow or light-brown grains up to 30–40 μm in size. Microhardness of deynekoite, VHN25 = 319(29) kg/mm2, corresponds to Mohs hardness = 4.5. Its density was calculated as 3.09 g⋅cm–3 on the basis of its empirical composition and structural data. Deynekoite is uniaxial (−), its refractive indices are ω = 1.658(3), ɛ = 1.652(3) (λ = 589 nm), and pleochroism is not observed. The formation of phosphides on the boundary of the paralava and country rock is connected with carbothermal reductive reactions and realised at temperatures above 1300°С. With decreasing temperature and increasing oxygen activity, phosphides are replaced by Fe2+-bearing phosphates. Deynekoite, which contains Fe3+ (substituting for Fe2+-phosphates) and a small amount of water, formed at temperatures of 600–800°C.

AbstractThe Ultrasonic cavitation effect has been widely used in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, biomedicine, and many other fields. The quantitative characterization of ultrasonic cavitation intensity has always been a difficulty. Based on this, a fluorescence analysis method has been adopted to explore ultrasonic cavitation intensity in this paper. In the experiment of fluorescence intensity measurement, terephthalic acid (TA) was used as the fluorescent probe, ultrasonic power, ultrasonic frequency, and irradiation time were independent variables, and fluorescence intensity and fluorescence peak area were used as experimental results. The collapse of cavitation bubble will cause molecular bond breakage and release ·OH, and the non-fluorescent substance TA will form the strong fluorescent substance TAOH with ·OH. The spectra of the treated samples were measured by a F-7000 fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results showed that the fluorescence intensity and fluorescence peak area increased rapidly after ultrasonic cavitation treatment, and then increased slowly with the increase of ultrasonic power, which gradually increased with the increase of irradiation time. They first decreased and then increased with the increase of ultrasonic frequency from 20 kHz to 40 kHz. The irradiation time was the most influential factor, and the cavitation intensity of low frequency was higher overall. The fluorescence intensity and fluorescence peak area of the samples increased by 2–20 times after ultrasonic treatment, which could increase from 69 and 5238 to 1387 and 95451, respectively. After the irradiation time exceeded 25 min, the growth rate of fluorescence intensity slowed down, which was caused by the decrease of gas content and TA concentration in the solution. The study quantitatively characterized the cavitation intensity, reflecting the advantages of fluorescence analysis, and provided a basis for the further study of ultrasonic cavitation.
An experimental and numerical study on the coupling effect of CLT wall-to-floor angle bracket connections

Published: September 2023

AbstractCross-laminated timber (CLT) wall panels are commonly connected to the floor or foundation using metal connections, which play a critical role in determining the seismic performance and energy dissipation of the CLT shear walls. In this study, to comprehend the tension–shear coupling effect of the CLT wall-to-floor angle bracket connections under seismic loads, both monotonic and cyclic shear tests were conducted on the angle brackets that were also simultaneously applied with different levels of prescribed vertical axial tension. The influence of the co-existent axial tension on the horizontal shear performance of the angle brackets was analyzed. Furthermore, a numerical model of the angle brackets was developed and validated with the experimental results, which could predict the tension–shear coupling effect based on the monotonic loading scenario. Based on the numerical model, parametric analysis was conducted, and an analytical tension–shear interaction diagram representing the coupling effect of the angle brackets under seismic loads was established. It is found that with an increase of the axial tension from 0 to 30 kN, the shear resisting capacity of the angle brackets is diminished by 33.29%, and the pinching effect of their hysteretic load–displacement curves is mitigated. When the number of the connection-to-floor screws of the angle brackets was increased from 10 to 14, the shear resisting capacity of the angle brackets can be enhanced by 6.43%, and their shear strength degradation can be relieved by 12.85–56.25%. For the CLT wall-to-floor angle brackets, the analytical interaction diagram can be described using one bilinear function, which consists of the ratio between the shear to the shear resistance and the ratio between the tension to the pull-out resistance.

AbstractIn this paper, we report on the synthesis of a new hybrid photocatalytic material activated by natural sunlight irradiation. The material consists of multiferroic nanoparticles of bismuth ferrite (BFO) modified through the growth of the Fe-based MIL-101 framework. Material characterization, conducted using various techniques (X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, FTIR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies), confirmed the growth of the MIL-101 metal–organic framework on the BFO surface. The obtained system possesses the intrinsic photo-degradative properties of BFO nanoparticles significantly enhanced by the presence of MIL-101. The photocatalytic activity of this material was tested in antibacterial experiments conducted under natural sunlight exposure within the nanocomposite concentration range of 100–0.20 µg/ml. The MIL-modified BFO showed a significant decrease in both Minimum Inhibiting Concentration and Minimum Bactericide Concentration values compared to bare nanoparticles. This confirms the photo-activating effect of the MIL-101 modification. In particular, they show an increased antimicrobial activity against the tested Gram-positive species and the ability to begin to inhibit the growth of the four Escherichia coli strains, although at the maximum concentration tested. These results suggest that the new nanocomposite BiFeO3@MOF has been successfully developed and has proven to be an effective antibacterial agent against a wide range of microorganisms and a potential candidate in disinfection processes.
The association between atherogenic index of plasma and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease-specific mortality in hypertension patients: a retrospective cohort study of NHANES
Authors: duiyimuhan Gulinuer , Maimaiti Nuerguli 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background
Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a marker of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD), was related to the all-cause mortality and CVD-specific mortality in a U-shape in general population respectively. However, no studies have investigated these associations in hypertensive populations. Herein, this study aims to explore the relationship of AIP and all-cause mortality and CVD-specific mortality in patients with hypertension in order to provide some reference for the risk hierarchical management of hypertension.

Methods
Demographic and clinical data of 17,382 adult patients with hypertension were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database in 2005–2018 in this retrospective cohort study. We used weighted univariate COX regression analysis to screen the covariates, and that weighted univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses to explore the association between AIP and all-cause mortality and CVD-specific mortality with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), CVD, diabetes mellitus (DM), antihyperlipidemic agents use, and hypotensive drugs use were also performed for further exploration of these relationships.

Results
The average follow-up time was 97.10 months. A total of 2,844 patients died, and 971 of them died due to CVD. After adjusting for age, race, education level, marital status, poverty-income ratio (PIR), smoking, BMI, physical activity, antihyperlipidemic agents, DM, CVD, hypotensive drugs, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and total energy intake, we found that both low [HR = 1.18, 95%CI: (1.07–1.32)] and high [HR = 1.17, 95%CI: (1.03–1.33)] levels of AIP were linked to an increased risk of all-cause mortality, and the U-shape association between AIP and CVD-specific mortality was also found [low AIP level: HR = 1.26, 95%CI: (1.05–1.51); high AIP level: HR = 1.26, 95%CI: (1.06–1.49)]. Furthermore, these relationships were existed in patients whose BMI > 25, were non-Hispanic White, with non-CVD, non-DM, non-antihyperlipidemic agents, and used hypertension drug (all P < 0.05).

Conclusion
AIP was associated with both all-cause mortality and CVD-specific mortality in patients with hypertension, but the specific role of AIP in prognosis in hypertensive populations is needed further exploration.

Abstract
Background
Multimorbidity, smoking status, and pregnancy are identified as three risk factors associated with more severe outcomes following a SARS-CoV-2 infection, thus vaccination uptake is crucial for pregnant women living with multimorbidity and a history of smoking. This study aimed to examine the impact of multimorbidity, smoking status, and demographics (age, ethnic group, area of deprivation) on vaccine hesitancy among pregnant women in Wales using electronic health records (EHR) linkage.

Methods
This cohort study utilised routinely collected, individual-level, anonymised population-scale linked data within the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) Databank. Pregnant women were identified from 13th April 2021 to 31st December 2021. Survival analysis was employed to examine and compare the length of time to vaccination uptake in pregnancy by considering multimorbidity, smoking status, as well as depression, diabetes, asthma, and cardiovascular conditions independently. The study also assessed the variation in uptake by multimorbidity, smoking status, and demographics, both jointly and separately for the independent conditions, using hazard ratios (HR) derived from the Cox regression model.

Results
Within the population cohort, 8,203 (32.7%) received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy, with 8,572 (34.1%) remaining unvaccinated throughout the follow-up period, and 8,336 (33.2%) receiving the vaccine postpartum. Women aged 30 years or older were more likely to have the vaccine in pregnancy. Those who had depression were slightly but significantly more likely to have the vaccine compared to those without depression (HR = 1.08, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.14, p = 0.002). Women living with multimorbidity were 1.12 times more likely to have the vaccine compared to those living without multimorbidity (HR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.19, p = 0.001). Vaccine uptakes were significantly lower among both current smokers and former smokers compared to never smokers (HR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.81 to 0.94, p < 0.001 and HR = 0.92, 95% CI 0.85 to 0.98, p = 0.015 respectively). Uptake was also lower among those living in the most deprived areas compared to those living in the most affluent areas (HR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.83 to 0.96, p = 0.002).

Conclusion
Younger women, living without multimorbidity, current and former smokers, and those living in the more deprived areas are less likely to have the vaccine, thus, a targeted approach to vaccinations may be required for these groups. Pregnant individuals living with multimorbidity exhibit a slight but statistically significant reduction in vaccine hesitancy towards COVID-19 during pregnancy.

Abstract
Background
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been growing concern about the declining mental health and healthy behaviors compared to pre-pandemic levels. Despite this, there is a lack of longitudinal studies that have examined the relationship between health behaviors and mental health during the pandemic. In response, the statewide COVIDsmart longitudinal study was launched. The study’s main objective is to better understand the effects of the pandemic on mental health. Findings may provide a foundation for the identification of public health strategies to mitigate future negative impacts of the pandemic.

Methods
Following online recruitment in spring of 2021, adults, ages 18 to 87, filled out social, mental, economic, occupational, and physical health questionnaires on the digital COVIDsmart platform at baseline and through six monthly follow-ups. Changes in the participant’s four health behaviors (e.g., tobacco and alcohol consumption, physical activity, and social media use), along with sex, age, loneliness score, and reported social and economic (SE) hardships, were analyzed for within-between group associations with depression and anxiety scores using Mixed Models Repeated Measures.

Results
In this study, of the 669 individuals who reported, the within-between group analysis indicated that younger adults (F = 23.81, p < 0.0001), loneliness (F = 234.60, p < 0.0001), SE hardships (F = 31.25, p < 0.0001), increased tobacco use (F = 3.05, p = 0.036), decreased physical activity (F = 6.88, p = 0.0002), and both positive and negative changes in social media use (F = 7.22, p = 0.0001) were significantly associated with worse depression scores. Additionally, females (F = 6.01, p = 0.015), younger adults (F = 32.30, p < 0.0001), loneliness (F = 154.59, p < 0.0001), SE hardships (F = 22.13, p < 0.0001), increased tobacco use (F = 4.87, p = 0.004), and both positive and negative changes in social media use (F = 3.51, p = 0.016) were significantly associated with worse anxiety scores. However, no significant changes were observed in the within-between group measurements of depression and anxiety scores over time (p > 0.05). Physical activity was not associated with anxiety nor was alcohol consumption with both depression and anxiety (p > 0.05).

Conclusions
This study demonstrates the longitudinal changes in behaviors within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings may facilitate the design of preventative population-based health approaches during the COVID-19 pandemic or future pandemics.
