Authors: Lei Jiedi , Leigh Eleanor , Charman Tony , Russell Ailsa , Hollocks Matthew J. 
Published: August 2023

BackgroundSocial camouflaging (hereafter camouflaging) in autism includes factors such as masking and compensating for one's neurodevelopmental differences, and to assimilate or ‘fit in’ with non‐autistic peers. Efforts to hide one's authentic self and autism traits (masking) resemble impression management (IM) in safety behaviours identified in Clark and Wells' (1995) cognitive model of social anxiety (SA). This study explores the relationship between camouflaging in autism and safety behaviours in SA among autistic and non‐autistic adolescents.MethodsOne hundred fifteen adolescents (14–19 years) with (n = 61; 36 female) and without (n = 54; 37 female) a clinical diagnosis of autism matched on age and SA symptom severity were recruited from clinics, schools and online. Adolescents completed online measures including autism traits, SA symptoms, camouflaging behaviours, SA‐related safety behaviours and SA‐related negative cognitions. Partial and bivariate Pearson's correlations and structural equation modelling were used to understand the relationship between camouflaging, safety behaviours, autism traits and SA in both groups. Exploratory factor analysis assessed item‐level factor cross‐loadings between camouflaging and safety behaviours.ResultsAcross both groups, masking and IM were significantly associated with SA symptom severity, not autism traits, via SA‐related social cognitions. Exploratory factor analysis indicated construct overlap across masking, assimilation, IM and avoidance behaviours and identified factors analogous to self‐focused attention, social avoidance and mental rehearsal identified in the Clark and Wells' (1995) model of SA.ConclusionsThis is the first study using group‐matched design to identify that masking (factor in social camouflaging) and IM both relate to SA in autistic and non‐autistic adolescents. Assessment and formulation of construct overlap between masking and IM may inform psychoeducation and adaptation of SA treatment for autistic adolescents.

Published: August 2023

AbstractRecent spikes in interactions between humans and sharks in the New York Bight have sparked widespread reporting of possible causalities, many of which lack empirical support. Here we comment on the current state of knowledge regarding shark biology and management in New York waters emphasizing that the possible drivers of increased human–shark interactions are confounded by a lack of historical monitoring data. We outline several key research avenues that should be considered to ensure the safe and sustainable coexistence of humans, sharks, and their prey, in an era of accelerated environmental change.
Winter residency and foraging of non‐native round goby populations in Great Lakes tributary streams
Authors: Glenn K. R. , Pennuto C. M. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractInvestigations of winter diets and foraging in fish are rare, and less so for migratory species in the temperate zone. In the Great Lakes, the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is known to out‐migrate from nearshore habitats to offshore depths in the winter months. However, in Great Lake tributaries, populations of this fish were found up to 25 km upstream during winter months. Distance upstream was a predictor of out‐migration behavior with populations farthest upstream remaining as winter residents, whereas populations nearest the lakes out‐migrated. Distance inland was also a predictor of fish total length, but not Fulton's condition index. Seasonal resources and local prey availability shaped the diets of these fish, but resource use remained unchanged over time since invasion. Total length and body condition also remained unchanged over time since the invasion. Plasticity in both diet and migration behavior seems to be beneficial traits for the inland invasion success of this fish.

AbstractMyocardial sleeve around human pulmonary veins plays a critical role in the pathomechanism of atrial fibrillation. Besides the well‐known arrhythmogenicity of these veins, there is evidence that myocardial extensions into caval veins and coronary sinus may exhibit similar features. However, studies investigating histologic properties of these structures are limited. We aimed to investigate the immunoreactivity of myocardial sleeves for intermediate filament desmin, which was reported to be more abundant in Purkinje fibers than in ventricular working cardiomyocytes. Sections of 16 human (15 adult and 1 fetal) hearts were investigated. Specimens of atrial and ventricular myocardium, sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes, pulmonary veins, superior caval vein and coronary sinus were stained with anti‐desmin monoclonal antibody. Intensity of desmin immunoreactivity in different areas was quantified by the ImageJ program. Strong desmin labeling was detected at the pacemaker and conduction system as well as in the myocardial sleeves around pulmonary veins, superior caval vein, and coronary sinus of adult hearts irrespective of sex, age, and medical history. In the fetal heart, prominent desmin labeling was observed at the sinoatrial nodal region and in the myocardial extensions around the superior caval vein. Contrarily, atrial and ventricular working myocardium exhibited low desmin immunoreactivity in both adults and fetuses. These differences were confirmed by immunohistochemical quantitative analysis. In conclusion, this study indicates that desmin is abundant in the conduction system and venous myocardial sleeves of human hearts.

Published: August 2023

AbstractTraditionally, gynecological cancers have been classified based on histology. Since remarkable advancements in next‐generation sequencing technology have enabled the exploration of somatic mutations in various cancer types, comprehensive sequencing efforts have revealed the genomic landscapes of some common forms of human cancer. The genomic features of various gynecological malignancies have been reported by several studies of large‐scale genomic cohorts, including The Cancer Genome Atlas. Although recent comprehensive genomic profiling tests, which can detect hundreds of genetic mutations at a time from cancer tissues or blood samples, have been increasingly used as diagnostic clinical biomarkers and in therapeutic management decisions, germline pathogenic variants associated with hereditary cancers can also be detected using this test. Gynecological cancers are closely related to genetic factors, with approximately 5% of endometrial cancer cases and 20% of ovarian cancer cases being caused by germline pathogenic variants. Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome and Lynch syndrome are the two major cancer susceptibility syndromes among gynecological cancers. In addition, several other hereditary syndromes have been reported to be associated with gynecological cancers. In this review, we highlight the genes for somatic mutation and germline pathogenic variants commonly seen in gynecological cancers. We first describe the relationship between clinicopathological attributes and somatic mutated genes. Subsequently, we discuss the characteristics and clinical management of inherited cancer syndromes resulting from pathogenic germline variants in gynecological malignancies.

Published: August 2023

AbstractBackground and purposeSeveral studies in the literature have attempted to subjectively assess the degree of visualization of different neurovascular structures using different contrast agents and concentrations. Given the recent contrast shortages, we aim to objectively compare the radiopacity achieved with four angiographic contrast agents used in clinical practice.MethodsIsovue 370, Visipaque 320, Omnipaque 300, and Isovue 300 were each drawn up at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% concentrations and compared against normal saline and air syringes. CT scans were obtained, and regions of interest were analyzed for radiopacity using Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements. An aneurysm model with different contrast concentrations was also scanned and dimensions compared. Two‐tailed t‐tests and Cohen's d coefficients were applied to assess for differences in mean HU measurements.ResultsIsovue 370 and Isovue 300 had the highest and lowest mean HU, respectively (p < .001). Visipaque 320 at 25% concentration had the lowest mean HU at −.76. Statistically similar agents (p < .05) were Visipaque 320 and Omnipaque 300 at a 100% concentration (p = .30), and Omnipaque 300 and Isovue 300 at a 25% concentration (p = .73). Aneurysm dimensions among Isovue 370, Visipaque 320, and Omnipaque 300 were all similar, whereas with Isovue 300, the dimensions were significantly smaller (p < .05).ConclusionIsovue 370 provides the highest HU radiopacity and the most accurate aneurysm measurements. Angiographic measurements obtained with Isovue 300 may underestimate the actual aneurysmal dimensions. Visipaque 320 and Omnipaque 300 at 100% concentration have similar mean HUs and are beneficial for patients with chronic kidney or cardiac disease.

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate the effect of different veneering ceramics and veneering techniques on the bond strength to zirconia.Materials and Methods3Y‐TZP zirconia blocks were sliced into 60 slabs, polished, and sintered. Each slab received one ceramic cylinder (Ø = 3.4 mm, 5 mm‐high), according to the veneering ceramic type (feldspathic—FEL or lithium disilicate‐based—LD) and the veneering technique (file‐splitting with resin‐based luting agent—RC, file‐splitting with fusion ceramic—FC, or heat‐pressing—HT), which resulted in six groups: FEL‐RC, FEL‐FC, FEL‐HT, LD‐RC, LD‐FC, LD‐HT. After preparation, the samples were immersed in distilled water for 24 h before the shear bond strength (SBS) test. The failure modes were classified as adhesive, predominantly adhesive, or cohesive. Representative failure mode images were taken in a Scanning Electron Microscope. The SBS data were analyzed by two‐way ANOVA and Tukey's test.ResultsBoth type of veneering ceramic and technique affected the bond strength. FC led to the highest SBS values. RC and HP provided similar results when compared within each veneering ceramic. Lithium disilicate achieved lower bond strength than feldspathic ceramic when the heat‐pressing technique was applied. The most frequent failure modes were predominantly adhesive and adhesive for FEL and LD, respectively.ConclusionFile‐splitting with fusion ceramic provided the highest adhesion to zirconia when feldspathic or lithium disilicate‐based ceramics were used. The heat‐pressing technique for veneering with lithium disilicate significantly decreased the bond strength when compared to the feldspathic ceramic.

SummarySleep disturbances and circadian disruption play a central role in adverse health, safety, and performance outcomes in shift workers. While biomathematical models of sleep and alertness can be used to personalise interventions for shift workers, their practical implementation is undertested. This study tested the feasibility of implementing two biomathematical models—the Phillips–Robinson Model and the Model for Arousal Dynamics—in 28 shift‐working nurses, 14 in each group. The study examined the overlap and adherence between model recommendations and sleep behaviours, and changes in sleep following the implementation of recommendations. For both groups combined, the mean (SD) percentage overlap between when a model recommended an individual to sleep and when sleep was obtained was 73.62% (10.24%). Adherence between model recommendations and sleep onset and offset times was significantly higher with the Model of Arousal Dynamics compared to the Phillips–Robinson Model. For the Phillips–Robinson model, 27% of sleep onset and 35% of sleep offset times were within ± 30 min of model recommendations. For the Model of Arousal Dynamics, 49% of sleep onset, and 35% of sleep offset times were within ± 30 min of model recommendations. Compared to pre‐study, significant improvements were observed post‐study for sleep disturbance (Phillips–Robinson Model), and insomnia severity and sleep‐related impairments (Model of Arousal Dynamics). Participants reported that using a digital, automated format for the delivery of sleep recommendations would enable greater uptake. These findings provide a positive proof‐of‐concept for using biomathematical models to recommend sleep in operational contexts.
Relationship course theory: An interdisciplinary integrative proposition to address the complexification of interpersonal relationships
Authors: Rodrigue Carl 
Published: August 2023

AbstractResearchers have been observing a complexification of interpersonal relationships in contemporary societies. However, current theoretical perspectives on relationships fall short of comprehensively grasping increasingly diverse and fluid relationship types (e.g., friends with benefits, polyamory, living‐apart‐together, coparenting, etc.) and patterns of change. In an attempt to meet the need for more integrative and interdisciplinary theorizing, this paper introduces a first outline of relationship course theory to better comprehend the complexity of relationships. In contrast to previous theoretical perspectives that conceptualize relationships as a single trajectory, I posit that the course of a relationship is composed of multiple intertwined trajectories, each of which stemming from differentiated domains such as sexuality, friendship, love, family, domesticity, and occupation. These relationship domains constitute a metatypology from which to examine the multiple sets of meanings and temporalities that intertwine throughout the course of a relationship. I propose that relationships are defined based on the combination of relationship domains, with different iterations and permutations of these domains producing various relationship configurations. Furthermore, the theory defines three levels of relationship courses: Sociocultural (i.e., stories that circulate about relationships in given sociocultural contexts), interpersonal (i.e., stories that individuals co‐construct about the particular relationships they experience), and life courses (i.e., stories that individuals co‐construct about themselves as relational beings). This proposition will hopefully stimulate the theoretical conversation on the complexity of relationships and foster dialogue between researchers from different theoretical and disciplinary affiliations.

Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundHigh‐risk newborns, such as premature or severely ill infants, often experience painful treatments and separation from their parents. While previous studies have focused on the positive impacts of a mother's voice on newborns' physiology and pain response, research on the father's voice and vocal acoustics in high‐risk newborns is limited.AimTo examine whether parents' voices reduce heel puncture pain in high‐risk newborns and the relationship between parents' vocal acoustics, physiological parameters and pain response.Study DesignA randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted with 105 high‐risk newborn–parent dyads. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: recorded mother's voice, recorded father's voice or control group without any recorded voice. Outcome measures included heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and pain response assessed using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale. Data analysis utilized generalized estimation equations, and parents' vocal acoustics were analysed using Praat voice credit software.ResultsThe mother's voice group exhibited significantly lower heart rates at 1, 5 and 10 min after the procedure, along with lower respiratory rates and pain levels at 5 and 10 min after the procedure compared with the control group. Similarly, the father's voice group demonstrated significantly lower heart rates at 1 and 5 min after the procedure, decreased respiratory rates at 5 and 10 min after the procedure and reduced pain levels at 1 and 5 to 10 min after the procedure compared with the control group. Higher minimum and mean pitches in parents' voices correlated with slower heart rates, while slower parental speech was associated with reduced newborn pain.ConclusionBoth maternal and paternal vocal interventions alleviated pain during heel puncture procedures among high‐risk newborns.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe noninvasive intervention serves as a reference for parental participation in care. Nurses can help parents to intervene with the acoustic characteristics that alleviate pain among high‐risk newborns.

Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundFraudulent research participants create negative consequences for the rigour and soundness of research.AimsA case study is presented from a qualitative study where the research team believed several fraudulent participants fabricated information during an interview about being a caregiver for a person living with dementia and chronic wounds.Materials & MethodsParticipants were recruited through a free online research registry. Individual semi‐structured interviews were held virtually.ResultsThe study was paused after the nurse scientist with qualitative methodology experience identified that participants were giving illogical and repetitive responses across interviews. The team developed a revised screening tool to help reduce fraudulent participants from enrolling in the study. None of the data collected were used for analysis.DiscussionInformation is provided on how the team dealt with the situation, lessons learned for future studies, and recommendations for gerontological nurse researchers.ConclusionResearchers should be aware that some participants are misrepresenting themselves for financial incentives and this can compromise the soundness of findings. Thorough screening tools are one way to identify and prevent fraud.
Analysis of spinal canal diameter in the placement of thoracic spinal cord stimulator paddle leads

Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundNeurologic deficit is known as a rare complication of thoracic spinal cord stimulator (SCS) paddle lead implantation, but many believe its incidence after SCS paddle lead placement is under‐reported. It is possible that imaging characteristics may be used to help predict safe paddle lead placement.ObjectiveThis imaging study was undertaken to determine the minimum canal diameter required for safe paddle lead placement.MethodsPatients who underwent thoracic laminotomy for new SCS paddle lead placement from January 2018 to March 2023 were identified retrospectively. Preoperative thoracic canal diameter was measured in the sagittal plane perpendicular to the disc space from T5/6 to T11/12. These thoracic levels were chosen because they span the most common levels targeted for SCS placement. Patients with and without new neurologic deficits were compared using a Mann–Whitney U‐test.ResultsOf 185 patients initially identified, 180 had thoracic imaging available for review. One (0.5%) and 2 (1.1%) of 185 patients complained of permanent and transient neurologic deficit after thoracic SCS placement, respectively. Patients with neurologic deficits had average canal diameters of <11 mm. The average canal diameter of patients with and without neurologic deficits was 10.2 mm (range 6.1–12.9 mm) and 13.0 mm (range 5.9–20.2), respectively (p < 0.0001).ConclusionPostoperative neurologic deficit is an uncommon complication after thoracic laminotomy for SCS paddle lead placement. The authors recommend ensuring a starting thoracic canal diameter of at least 12 mm to accommodate a SCS paddle lead measuring 2 mm thick to ensure a final diameter of >10 mm. If canal diameter is <12 mm, aggressive undercutting of the lamina, a second laminotomy, or placement of smaller SCS wire leads should be considered.

BackgroundAntepartum depression is a prevalent unhealthy mental health problem worldwide, particularly in low‐income countries. It is a major contributor to adverse birth outcomes. Previous studies linking antepartum depression to birthweight have yielded conflicting results, which may be the reason that the depressive symptoms were only measured once during pregnancy. This study aimed to explore the associations between trajectories of antepartum depressive symptoms and birthweight.MethodsDepressive symptoms were assessed prospectively at each trimester in 3699 pregnant women from 24 hospitals across 15 provinces in China, using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS). Higher scores of EPDS indicated higher levels of depressive symptoms. Associations between trajectories of depressive symptoms and birthweight were examined using group‐based trajectory modeling (GBTM), propensity score‐based inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW), and logistic regression.ResultsGBTM identified five trajectories. Compared with the low‐stable trajectory of depressive symptoms, only high‐stable (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.15–2.52) and moderate‐rising (OR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.12–1.85) had an increased risk of low birthweight (LBW) in the adjusted longitudinal analysis of IPTW. There was no significant increase in the risk of LBW in moderate‐stable and high‐falling trajectories. However, trajectories of depressive symptoms were not associated with the risk of macrosomia.ConclusionAntepartum depressive symptoms were not constant. Trajectories of depressive symptoms were associated with the risk of LBW. It is important to optimize and implement screening, tracking, and intervention protocols for antepartum depression, especially for high‐risk pregnant women, to prevent LBW.
