Authors: Xue Wenkai , Zhang Zhiqiang , Jia Hongjie , Ren Mingwen , Li Chunyang 
Published: January 2025

AbstractMetal and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) laminates exhibit excellent mechanical properties and lightweight advantages, leading to increasing applications in automotive part manufacturing. Compared to the high costs and low efficiency of autoclave processing, the compression molding method of laminates has the characteristics of low cost and high efficiency, making it suitable for the mass production of the automotive industry. In this paper, four kinds of compression molding processes were designed according to the curing degree of resin before forming, and the influence of the curing degree of resin on the mechanical properties and surface accuracy of CFRP/DC01 steel hybrid parts was studied. The bending strength, energy absorption, shape accuracy and thickness distribution of formed parts were systematically evaluated. Experimental results indicated that as the resin curing degree increased, the formability of the laminates decreased, resulting in reduced mechanical properties of the hybrid parts. Cross‐sections microscopic morphology of the formed part showed that there were serious defects of delamination and fiber fracture in the parts formed after the resin was cured completely, and the bending strength and shape accuracy were the worst. Compared with the 120‐min full curing of the resin in the dies of technique 1, the technique 4, which combined 5‐min pre‐curing in the dies with full final curing in the aging furnace, could greatly improve the production efficiency of the parts. The parts produced by technique 4 could ensure good mechanical properties and high surface accuracy.Highlights
A new compression molding and curing process enhanced mechanical properties of CFRP/steel hybrid parts.
The process balanced high performance with reduced production time.
The bending strength, energy absorption capacity and shape accuracy of formed parts were obviously enhanced.
The effect of resin curing degree on the formability of laminates was studied.
RBF Neural Network‐Based Distributed Nonlinear Model Predictive Control on Tandem Cold Rolling Stands
Authors: Niu Yue‐Yan , Li Xiao‐Jian , Deng Chao 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe precision of the strip thickness is an index of significance in the tandem cold rolling process which makes a difference to the strip quality. However, it is hard to build an accurate mathematical model for thickness control in the tandem cold rolling process, because there exist coupling relationships of complexity between the adjacent stands and unmeasurable process parameters. To overcome the difficulties, a distributed nonlinear model predictive control (DNMPC) strategy with a deep learning method is put forward in this paper, where the auto‐regressive radial basis function neural networks are established to model the tandem cold rolling process. For each stand, not only the control input and exit thickness output data of this stand, but also the data of the neighbor stands are selected as the input of the neural network. Besides, the design of the distributed nonlinear model predictive controller turns into an optimization problem, and the gradient method is applied to solve it, which gets rid of the leaning upon mathematical models. Moreover, the stability of the developed method is proven, which indicates the boundedness of the tracking error. The simulations are carried out on three‐stand and five‐stand examples, and the results verify the efficacy of the proposed DNMPC strategy.
Urban agriculture—An assessment of the potential of private gardens to cover the nutritional needs in four Swedish cities
Authors: Bengtsson Agneta , Haller Henrik 
Published: January 2025

AbstractPrivate gardens constitute a large part of many cities, making them a potential contributor to food security in urban areas. The aim of this study is to increase knowledge about the potential of private gardens to cover the nutritional needs of city dwellers. The case study sets out to investigate how much of the recommended intake of vegetables (as described in the reference diet proposed by the EAT–Lancet Commission) can be covered by private urban gardens in the Swedish cities of Östersund, Härnösand, Södertälje, and Lund. Statistical data on yields of six selected vegetables together with geographic information system (GIS) data were used. The estimated food production was subsequently compared to the nutritional needs of the urban population of the cities. This study indicates that the potential to cover the nutritional needs in the cities is considerable. The capacity varied depending on the size of the used cultivable area and the types of vegetables grown. If 20% of the available cultivable area was used for growing vegetables, between 12% and 23% of the recommended intake of vegetables could be covered by private gardens in the four investigated cities. If 85% of the same area was used, more than 90% of the recommended intake of vegetables could be covered in two of the investigated cities. The study indicates that the potential in urban areas in Sweden to meet the nutritional needs with vegetables grown in private gardens is considerable.

AbstractThis case is a unique co‐presentation of mixed uterine and ovarian teratoma in a middle‐aged female Labrador dog with chief complaint of purulent vaginal discharge. On ultrasonographic examination, a large anechoic mass with several echogenic flakes in uterine lumen and cystic cavitation of endometrial surface was identified without any metastasis on radiography. After 2‐week medicinal therapy, ovariohysterectomy of dog was done and pyometra with large greyish white globoid soft fibroid mass (8.5 × 9.5 cm) on anterior border of right uterine horn formed remarkable findings. The histopathological analysis revealed stratified squamous metaplasia of endometrial epithelium with strong epidermal reaction pattern, in addition to, indistinct areas of degenerated hair follicle(s) and melanin deposits, areas of irregular, aggressive neuro‐fibromatous stroma, amidst muscular stroma turned fibrous and adipose connective tissues component. The dog recovered uneventfully. Therefore, we report rare case of mixed uterine and ovarian teratoma along with cystic endometrial hyperplasia‒pyometra complex in dog.
Projecting and Downscaling Future Temperature and Precipitation Based on CMIP6 Models Using Machine Learning in Hatay Province, Türkiye
Authors: Ozbuldu Mustafa , Irvem Ahmet 
Published: January 2025

AbstractProjections for future changes in precipitation and temperature are essential for decision-makers to understand climate change impacts on any region in the world. General circulation models (GCMs) are widely used tools to assess the future impacts of climate change. However, since they are produced at global scales, they cannot provide reliable information at local scales. For this reason, downscaling applications have been applied in recent years. In this study, support vector regression (SVR), random forest (RF), and multiple linear regression (MLR) methods were evaluated to improve the forecast accuracy of EC-EARTH3 CMIP6 GCM outputs for the Hatay province of Türkiye. The results obtained from the models were compared with meteorological observation data on a monthly time scale. As a result of the study, RF (RMSE = 19.19–45.41) for precipitation projections and SVR for maximum temperature (RMSE = 1.49–2.23) and minimum temperature (RMSE = 1.44–1.69) projections were found successful compared to other methods. These methods were applied to GCM’s future outputs. According to the results, it was determined that there could be a significant increase in the annual average temperature in Hatay province under the SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios. It is also estimated that there may be an increase in temperature between 2.1 and 2.9 °C for the SSP2-4.5 scenario and 2.4 °C and 5.2 °C for the SSP5-8.5 scenario in the near (2020–2060) and far (2060–2100) future periods, respectively. It is also estimated that by the end of the 21st century, annual precipitation in Hatay province may decrease by approximately 10% for SSP2-4.5 and by approximately 20% for SSP5-8.5 scenarios.
Management of mass casualty incidents: a systematic review and clinical practice guideline update
Authors: Suda Arnold J. , Franke Axel , Hertwig Miriam , Gooßen Käthe 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Purpose
Our aim was to generate evidence- and consensus-based recommendations for the management of mass casualty incidents (MCIs) based on current evidence. This guideline topic is part of the 2022 update of the German guideline on the treatment of patients with severe/multiple injuries.

Methods
MEDLINE and Embase were systematically searched to August 2021. Further literature reports were obtained from clinical experts. Randomised controlled trials, cross-sectional studies, prospective cohort studies, and comparative registry studies were included if they compared triage algorithms, interventions for MCI training, logistics or transport, decontamination, diagnosis or therapy during MCIs in the prehospital and hospital settings. We considered patient-relevant clinical outcomes such as mortality, diagnostic outcomes including sensitivity and specificity, rates of undertriage and overtriage as well as resource use. Risk of bias was assessed using NICE 2012 checklists. The evidence was synthesised narratively, and expert consensus was used to develop recommendations and determine their strength. Population, intervention, comparison, and outcome (PICO) questions from clinical questions were developed by clinical experts and guideline methodologists.

Results
We screened 321 records in the original guideline version and 4225 during this update. Twenty-five studies were included, all of them from the updated search from 2009 to 2021. Twenty-five new studies were identified. Interventions covered were triage training (n = 7 studies), prehospital triage (n = 6), secondary triage (n = 2), transport/logistics (n = 3), decontamination (n = 5), and therapy (n = 2) during MCIs. Three new recommendations were developed. All achieved strong consensus.

Conclusion
Due to unsatisfactory evidence, recommendations could only be made on training for improving triage quality and regular exercises for testing a hospital’s emergency response plan. No triage algorithm can be scientifically proven to be superior in all aspects. The key recommendation is the following: To improve triage quality, exercises or (virtual) training should be conducted in-house using verified triage systems and algorithms.

Abstract
Purpose
The use of intramedullary fixation of AO type 31-A1 fractures is rising, despite evidence of non-superiority when compared with extramedullary fixation. The aim of this study was to evaluate mobility and living status for extramedullary fixation (EMF) versus intramedullary fixation (IMF) in Dutch hospitals during the initial hospital stay and until three-months after trauma.

Methods
Data on patient characteristics, mobility, living status, complications, reoperation, and mortality were extracted from the Dutch Hip Fracture Audit Indicator Taskforce. Data were collected for patients (> 65 years) at baseline, at discharge, and at three-months follow-up. Univariate analysis was used for comparing the EMF versus IMF group.

Results
A total of 836 patients were included; 138 (16%) were treated with EMF and 698 (84%) with IMF. No significant differences were found between groups for the overall complication rate during the initial hospital stay (EMF: n = 55 (40%) versus IMF: n = 270 (39%)). Patients treated with EMF showed better mobility at discharge (mobility with frame/2 supports or better, EMF 77% versus IMF 50%), but otherwise no significant difference was found after a three-month follow-up (EMF 80% versus IMF 82%), suggesting faster improved mobility for IMF. However, matched subgroup analysis showed no meaningful differences in rates of deteriorated mobility or living status after three months.

Conclusion
This study showed no meaningful differences between EMF and IMF of type 31-A1 trochanteric fractures during hospital stay and until three-month follow-up. Despite little differences in outcome and EMF being the treatment option of first choice by the Dutch Hip fracture guideline, IMF is used in the vast majority of patients.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in psychiatric disorders in early childhood (aged under 10 years): a systematic review
Authors: Brehme Hannes , Utke Josefin , Berger Christoph , Kölch Michael , Buchmann Johannes 
Published: January 2025

AbstractTranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) remains experimental for many psychiatric disorders in adults. Particularly in childhood, there is limited research on the evidence for the efficacy and mechanisms of action of tDCS on the developing brain. The objective of this review is to identify published experimental studies to examine the efficacy and mechanisms of tDCS in children with psychiatric or developmental disorders in early (prepubertal) childhood (aged under 10 years). Included Studies should meet the following criteria: (1) experimental studies (no reviews, no case reports), (2) studies published in international peer-reviewed journals, (3) written in English, (4) conducted on children under 10 under years of age, (5) at enrolment with a psychiatric or developmental disorder.Eight studies were identified that fulfilled the specified criteria. All studies investigated effect on children with autism-spectrum-disorder (ASD). Anodal tDCS, mainly targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), showed positive effects on the reduction of ASD symptoms. There has also been evidence that these stimulations are feasible, have good tolerability and are safe. tDCS was found to be safe and partially effective, but a long-term effect of tDCS and changes in connectivity during tDCS in autism has not been proven. Other developmental or psychiatric diseases were not investigated. This results in a lack of knowledge regarding the reactivity of the brain during the prepubertal period, which is a critical phase in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), ASD, Tourette’s syndrome or dyslexia.

Authors: Minopoulou Ioanna , Fagni Filippo , Atzinger Armin , Albach Fredrik , Schett Georg , Krönke Gerhard , Kleyer Arnd , Simon David 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a complex heterogeneous inflammatory disease that affects about one-third of patients with psoriasis. PsA leads to significant physical impairment and reduced quality of life. Therefore, early diagnosis and intervention are critical for improving long-term outcomes. The purpose of this review is to highlight the advantages of unconventional imaging methods in the diagnosis and management of PsA and to discuss recent advancements in imaging technology.

Recent Findings
Conventional imaging methods, such as radiography, musculoskeletal ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging, have been instrumental in detecting structural joint damage and inflammation. However, these imaging modalities have several limitations, resulting in their inability to detect early disease changes. Recent advancements in imaging technology have led to the development of novel imaging modalities capable of characterizing not only early structural but also molecular aspects of disease activity. These cutting-edge approaches have been lately applied to both psoriasis and PsA patients, offering new insights into disease progression, the transition from psoriasis to PsA, and treatment responses.

Summary
By providing more detailed and individualized assessments, unconventional imaging modalities may bring us closer to realizing the potential of personalized medicine in the management of PsA.

Published: January 2025

AbstractTherapeutic decision-making for older patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer highlights the importance of a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). This assessment considers the functional status, comorbidities, and relevant conditions of the patient, and allows for an estimation of life expectancy, but it does not facilitate individualized treatment plans. There are also other challenges to consider related to the cardiac toxicity of the treatments and the under-representation of older patients in clinical trials. The Oncogeriatrics Section of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica, SEOM), the Spanish Group for Breast Cancer Research (Grupo Español de Investigación en Cáncer de Mama, GEICAM) and the Spanish Group of Study, Treatment and other Experimental Strategies in Solid Tumours (Grupo Español de Estudio, Tratamiento y otras Estrategias Experimentales en Tumores Sólidos, SOLTI) have gathered an expert committee to evaluate the scientific evidence on the management of older patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and to establish recommendations based on a comprehensive review of the existing literature. These recommendations underscore the importance of individualizing treatment plans based on the patient's physical status and tolerability to maximize efficacy while minimizing toxicity. Emphasis is placed on adapting neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies according to geriatric assessment and specific patient needs. A careful selection of treatment schedules for advanced stages is needed to improve survival and quality of life, assuming that scientific evidence in this age group is limited.
Effectiveness of Cold Smoking on Inactivating Murine Norovirus in Salami-Like Pork Sausages (Mettwurst), and Hepatitis E Virus and Murine Norovirus in Solution

AbstractHepatitis E virus (HEV) is a zoonotic virus that infects humans when virus-containing pork products are consumed. This study aimed to explore MNV (murine norovirus) and HEV inactivation during cold smoking and ripening/fermentation treatments used for salami-like sausages (mettwurst). MNV inactivation was monitored in culture medium solution and in sausage while being subjected to a salami-like sausage manufacturing process. The inactivation of MNV in the solution was also monitored at room temperature (RT) for four weeks. HEV inactivation was monitored in solution during the cold smoking process and at RT. A TCID50 assay was used to calculate the infectious MNV and HEV titres. MNV survival was modelled using Bayesian inference. MNV load in solution decreased by as much as 4.7 (SD 0.9) log10 TCID50/ml when it was subjected to the cold smoking process. Modelling revealed that 99.999% MNV might be inactivated during the treatment when observed at a level of 95% CI (Bayesian Confidence Interval). On the contrary, MNV load decreased by only 1.8 (0.2) log10 when stored at RT. The low-titre HEV in solution was inactivated (> 1.1 (0.2) log10) when treated, and at RT. However, MNV was resistant in the sausage matrix during the cold smoking process (log10 reduction of 1.9 (0.5) TCID50/ml). Based on modelling, a substantial amount of virus would remain in the product, even when the uncertainty was considered. Hence, viruses, here exemplified by MNV, may not be inactivated from salami-like pork sausages during manufacturing, which poses a risk for consumers in real-life situations.
