Published: May 2023

BackgroundThe Pipeline Flex embolization device with Shield technology (PED Shield) is the first flow diverter for brain aneurysm treatment approved in the United States using surface-modified technology. The effect of PED Shield on decreasing perioperative diffusion-weighted imaging positive (DWI+) hits, as a marker for in-human decrease thrombogenicity, is unclear.ObjectiveTo determine if the number of periprocedural DWI+ lesions differs between patients with an aneurysm treated with PED Flex and PED Shield.MethodsThis retrospective study compares the outcomes of consecutive patients with an aneurysm treated with PED Flex and PED Shield. The primary outcome of interest was the occurrence of DWI+ lesions. We also assessed potential predictors of DWI+ lesions and compared the outcomes between on-label and off-label treatment indications.Results89 patients were included, 48 (54%) treated with PED Flex and 41 (46%) with PED Shield. After matching, the incidence of DWI+ lesions was 61% and 62% for the PED Flex and PED Shield groups, respectively. Results were consistent across each model with no significant differences in DWI+ lesions between treatment groups, and effect sizes ranging from OR=1.08 (95% CI 0.41 to 2.89) after propensity score matching to OR=1.84 (95% CI 0.65 to 5.47) after multivariable regression. Multivariable models demonstrated reduced DWI+ lesions with balloon-assisted therapies and posterior circulation treatment, while a significant linear relationship was encountered with fluoroscopy time.ConclusionThere was no significant difference in the incidence of perioperative DWI+ lesions between patients with an aneurysm treated with PED Flex and PED Shield. Larger cohorts are likely needed to demonstrate differences between the devices.

Background
The significance of early venous filling (EVF) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of EVF after MT.

Methods
From January 2019 to May 2022, AIS patients with successful recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score (mTICI) ≥2b) after MT were retrospectively reviewed. EVF was evaluated on final digital subtraction angiography runs after successful recanalization and was categorized into phase subgroups (arterial phase and capillary phase) and pathway subgroups (cortical veins subgroup and thalamostriate veins subgroup), respectively. The impact of EVF subgroups on functional outcomes after successful recanalization were both investigated.

Results
A total of 349 patients achieving successful recanalization after MT were included, including 45 patients in the EVF group and 304 patients in the non-EVF group. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed the EVF group had a higher rate of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH; 66.7% vs 22%, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 6.805, 95% CI 3.389 to 13.662, P<0.001), symptomatic ICH (sICH; 28.9% vs 4.9%, aOR 6.011, 95% CI 2.493 to 14.494, P<0.001) and malignant cerebral edema (MCE; 20% vs 6.9%, aOR 2.682, 95% CI 1.086 to 6.624, P=0.032) than the non-EVF group. Furthermore, the cortical veins subgroup of EVF had a higher rate of mortality than the thalamostriate veins subgroup (37.5% vs 10.3%, P=0.029).

Conclusions
EVF is independently associated with ICH, sICH and MCE after successful recanalization of MT, but not with favorable outcome and mortality.

BackgroundDiffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is a non-invasive optical technique that enables continuous blood flow measurements in various organs, including the brain. DCS quantitatively measures blood flow from temporal fluctuations in the intensity of diffusely reflected light caused by the dynamic scattering of light from moving red blood cells within the tissue.MethodsWe performed bilateral cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements using a custom DCS device in patients undergoing neuroendovascular interventions for acute ischemic stroke. Experimental, clinical, and imaging data were collected in a prospective manner.ResultsThe device was successfully applied in nine subjects. There were no safety concerns or interference with the standard angiography suite or intensive care unit workflow. Six cases were selected for final analysis and interpretation. DCS measurements with photon count rates greater than 30 KHz had sufficient signal-to-noise to resolve blood flow pulsatility. We found an association between angiographic changes in cerebral reperfusion (partial or complete reperfusion established in stroke thrombectomy cases; temporary flow arrest during carotid artery stenting) and those observed intraprocedurally with CBF measurements via DCS. Limitations of the current technology included sensitivity to the interrogated tissue volume under the probe and the effect of local changes in tissue optical properties on the accuracy of CBF estimates.ConclusionOur initial experience with DCS in neurointerventional procedures showed the feasibility of this non-invasive approach in providing continuous measurement of regional CBF brain tissue properties.

Published: May 2023

Introduction
The present study empirically examined the association between price discounts and product attributes of e-liquids sold by online retailers.

Methods
We analysed 14 000 e-liquid products from five major online e-cigarette retailers between April and May 2021 to determine the association between price discounts and product attributes such as nicotine level and form, flavour and vegetable glycerine/propylene glycol ratio. A fixed-effects model was used in the analysis and discounts were calculated in US cents/mL of e-liquid volume.

Results
Out of 14 407 e-liquid products, 92.5% were offered at a discounted price. On average, the price discount for the 13 324 products that had discounts was 16.84 cents/mL across the five stores. Among the three forms of nicotine (salt, freebase and nicotine free), salt e-liquids had the highest average price discount.

Conclusion
Our findings suggest that e-liquids with salt nicotine have a higher average price discount when sold online, which may influence consumer purchasing behaviour. Further research is needed to assess the potential impact of these discounts on youth and adult tobacco use. Policymakers may consider implementing measures to limit online price discounts for e-liquids as a means of reducing sales among young people.

Abstract
The genus Metamysidopsis W. M. Tattersall is currently represented by two species in the eastern Pacific: M. elongata (Holmes, 1910) in California, U.S.A., and M. pacifica (Zimmer, 1918) in Peru and Panama. The distribution and some morphological details of both species are presented and discussed and a new species is described from the southern Gulf of California, western Mexico. Commonly used diagnostic characters for the species of Metamysidopsis are analysed based on data available in the literature. A diagnosis is provided for the three species occurring in the eastern Pacific and a key to the 10 currently known species of the genus is provided.

Abstract
This study examined the heritability and genetic correlations of muscle proximate composition (including crude lipid, protein, moisture, and ash) in the Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis. The results showed that the heritability of proximate composition traits, was 0.12 ± 0.07 for moisture, 0.04 ± 0.04 for crude fat, 0.07 ± 0.05 for crude protein and 0.03 ± 0.04 for ash, respectively. A positive genetic correlation (0.88) was observed between crude lipid and protein, whereas a negative correlation existed between crude lipid and moisture (−0.74), indicating that crude lipid content could be improved by moisture selection indirectly. The muscle-moisture trait has the highest heritability, and is the easiest parameter to measure among the four proximate composition traits. Our results provide fundamental information for the development of improved genetic-programmes utilizing quality traits of E. sinensis.
The Relevance of the Phenomenological Method of Epoché and Reduction for Psychology
Authors: Wertz Frederick J. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Husserl’s (2023) “Paradox of the Psychological Reduction,” with support and elucidation from Husserl’s published writings, shows the necessity of employing the phenomenological epoché and reduction in order to perform valid psychological research. The relationship between the transcendental and psychological reductions, including their closeness, differences, and peculiar identity are explored. Although necessary, the phenomenological method does not guarantee true psychological knowledge but rather requires a reflexive, self-critical, self-corrective historical process that confronts and overcomes naturalistic prejudice and other misguiding assumptions and dogma as well as superficial and flawed research performances. Phenomenological psychology and philosophy are inseparable, in a bidirectional relationship that informs the socio-cultural sciences including empirical psychology and all disciplines that study persons, communities, human artifacts, and humanity. The implications and relevance of phenomenological method are spelled out in light of the history and contemporary challenges of psychology.
The Psychological Epoché and the Promise of Humanistic Psychology
Authors: DeRobertis Eugene Mario 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
In this paper, I contend that the narrative presented in Husserl’s recently translated Text 7 is a strikingly clear affirmation and vindication of the psychological adaptation of phenomenology developed by Amedeo Giorgi. I argue that Giorgi’s methodological advocacy of the epoché makes good sense when considered in the context of the history of humanistic psychology. A review of Carl Rogers’s and Abraham Maslow’s attempts to revision psychology shows that they each, in their own way, argued for a turn away from all-out objectivism in research, toward what phenomenologists would refer to as the being-in-the-world-with-others that permeates the relationship between researcher and research participants. But neither could envision or develop a methodological procedure for the researcher to simultaneously suspend their habitual way of making judgements and forming conclusions in that relationship. Instead, they advocated for the extension of a humanized therapeutic clinical presence of openness, acceptance, and affirmation in psychological research. Thus, a Husserlian approach to phenomenological psychology was not only a desirable addition to humanistic thought, it was sorely needed for humanistic psychology to fulfill its research promise. Giorgi, more than any other thinker of his time, provided this addition. It is further argued that Giorgi’s contribution remains highly relevant, though underappreciated.
Teaching and Preaching
Authors: Tesfamariam Temesgen 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
During European colonial times in Africa and elsewhere, missionary education was an integral part of the colonial instruments for political domination, economic exploitation, and cultural assimilation. This paper aims to investigate the process of making colonial subjects through missionary education that was mainly provided by Catholic and Evangelical mission schools during the Italian colonial period in Eritrea. The paper argues that the Catholic and Evangelical mission schools distinctively worked to achieve their separate objectives that can be explained as employment versus salvation, teaching versus preaching, flag versus Bible, and hands versus soul, respectively. While the Catholic mission school focused on training the hand in order to supply labour, the Evangelical mission school stressed harvesting the soul to cultivate a docile labour force. Despite their differences, the works of the Catholic and Evangelical mission schools placed much emphasis on and exerted much effort to producing a class of colonial subjects that could serve as brokers of power.
Frozen Hydrometeor Terminal Fall Velocity Dependence on Particle Habit and Riming as Observed by Vertically Pointing Radars
Authors: Matrosov Sergey Y. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Vertically pointing Ka-band radar measurements are used to derive fall velocity–reflectivity factor () relations for frozen hydrometeor populations of different habits during snowfall events observed at Oliktok Point, Alaska, and at the Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC). Case study events range from snowfall with highly rimed particles observed during periods with large amounts of supercooled liquid water path (LWP > 320 g m−2) to unrimed snowflakes including instances when pristine planar crystals were the dominant frozen hydrometeor habit. The prefactor a and the exponent b in the observed Vt–Ze relations scaled to the sea level vary in the approximate ranges 0.5–1.4 and 0.03–0.13, respectively (reflectivities are in mm6 m−3 and velocities are in m s−1). The coefficient a values are the smallest for planar crystals (a ∼ 0.5) and the largest (a > 1.2) for particles under severe riming conditions with high LWP. There is no clear distinction between b values for high and low LWP conditions. The range of the observed Vt–Ze relation coefficients is in general agreement with results of modeling using fall velocity–size (υt = αDβ) relations for individual particles found in literature for hydrometeors of different habits, though there is significant variability in α and β coefficients from different studies even for a same particle habit. Correspondences among coefficients in the Vt–Ze relations for particle populations and in the individual particle υt–D relations are analyzed. These correspondences and the observed Vt–Ze relations can be used for evaluating different frozen hydrometeor fall velocity parameterizations in models.

Significance Statement
Frozen hydrometeor fall velocities influence cloud life cycles and the moisture transport in the atmosphere. The knowledge of these velocities is also needed to enhance remote sensing of snowfall parameters. In this study, the relations between fall velocities and radar reflectivities of snowflakes of different types and shapes are quantitively analyzed using observations with vertically pointing radars.
Impact of Evaporation in Yangtze River Valley on Heat Stress in North China
Authors: Bu Lulei , Zuo Zhiyan , Zhang Kaiwen , Yuan Jiacan 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
In North China (NC), heat stress, which can be quantitatively characterized by wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), is closely related to specific humidity. This study focuses on the total days for NC average daily maximum WBGT exceeding 26°C (WGBT26) per summer (June–August) from 1979 to 2017. Rather than local precipitation or evaporation in NC, the NC WBGT26 is significantly related to the nonlocal evaporation around the Yangtze River valley (YR). The abnormal positive evaporated water vapor in YR, associated with anomalously high water vapor flux from south to north at 925 hPa, is continuously transported to NC in the above-normal WBGT26 years. Such an abnormal “evaporation and transportation” process can significantly increase the water vapor in NC and therefore enhance WBGT26. The evaporation in YR peaks in mid- to late July and is closely associated with the occurrence days for daily maximum WBGT exceeding 26°C and maximum daily mean specific humidity at 925 hPa in summer. The main driver for the strongest YR evaporation anomaly from 15 July to 15 August is the simultaneous surface air temperature rather than the simultaneous or earlier soil moisture, precipitation, and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) anomaly. This condition is due to the continuously abundant soil moisture in the YR from April to September. The results of this study provide new ideas for studying heat stress in NC, indicating that nonlocal land–atmosphere interactions are crucial.
A Multiscale Four-Dimensional Variational Data Assimilation Scheme: A Squall-Line Case Study
Authors: Sun Tao , Sun Juanzhen , Chen Yaodeng , Chen Haiqin 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This study presents a multiscale four-dimensional variational data assimilation (MS-4DVar) scheme that aims to assimilate multiscale information from conventional and radar observations. The MS-4DVar scheme separately assimilates conventional and radar data in different outer loop iterations of an incremental 4DVar with varied resolutions in the tangent linear and adjoint models (TLM/ADM) and time window lengths in the 4DVar. The MS-4DVar scheme was evaluated through a series of single observation tests and several cycled assimilation and forecasting experiments for a real squall-line case. Our results indicated that different TLM/ADM resolutions and time window lengths applied to the conventional and radar observations improved the multiscale analysis. In addition, the MS-4DVar scheme was more efficient than the common 4DVar because of the low-resolution TLM/ADM used for conventional data and the shortened time window length for radar data. Verification of the squall-line forecasts suggested that the MS-4DVar scheme improved the hourly accumulated precipitation and radar reflectivity forecast skills and reduced the forecast errors of both large-scale environmental and convective-scale states. Further diagnosis revealed that the improvement of precipitation forecast skill was attributable to the stronger cold pool, deeper saturated water vapor layer, and stronger updraft of the simulated squall-line system, as well as a more favorable convective environment.
The Development and Evaluation of a Tropical Cyclone Probabilistic Landfall Forecast Product

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Improving estimates of tropical cyclone forecast uncertainty remains an important goal of the Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project (HFIP). Intensity forecast uncertainty near landfall is especially complicated because intensity forecasts depend on track forecasts. Ensembles can be difficult to interpret near land due to differences in both spatial and temporal resolution and differences in landfall timing (if at all) and location. The Monte Carlo Wind Speed Probability (WSP) model is a statistical ensemble based on the error characteristics of forecasts by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the spread of several track forecast models. The landfall distribution product (LDP) introduced in this paper was developed to use the statistical ensemble of forecasts from the WSP model to estimate both the track and intensity forecast uncertainty associated with potential landfalls. The LDP includes probabilistic intensity estimates as well as estimates of the most likely and reasonable strongest intensity at landfall. These products could communicate concise intensity uncertainty information to users at risk for tropical cyclone impacts. Demonstration on a retrospective dataset from 2010 to 2018 and evaluation of the LDP on the 2020–21 Atlantic hurricane seasons shows that the probability of landfall and the landfall intensity probabilities generated by the WSP model are reliable and potentially useful for preparedness decision-making. A case study of Hurricane Ida (2021) highlights how the LDP can be implemented to communicate landfall uncertainty to a broad range of users.

Significance Statement
With the new landfall distribution product (LDP), the National Hurricane Center can provide both track and intensity forecast uncertainty surrounding the landfall of hurricanes. The issuance of a reasonable worst case scenario for the strongest winds that could impact a region could amplify messaging to encourage people to take appropriate action prior to a landfall.

Background: Ketamine is an emerging treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) associated with rapid and robust improvements in depressive symptoms and suicidality. However, the efficacy and safety of ketamine in transitional age youth (TAY; age 18–25) populations remains understudied. Methods: In this retrospective analysis, TAY patients ( n = 52) receiving ketamine for TRD were matched for sex, primary diagnosis, baseline depression severity, and treatment resistance with a general adult (GA) sample (age 30–60). Patients received four ketamine infusions over 2 weeks (0.5–0.75 mg/kg over 40 min). The primary outcome was the change in Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self-Report 16-item (QIDS-SR16) over time. Secondary outcomes were changes in QIDS-SR16 suicidal ideation (SI) item, anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7)), and adverse effects (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04209296). Results: A significant main effect of infusions on reduction of total QIDS-SR16 ( p < 0.001), QIDS-SR16 SI ( p < 0.001), and GAD-7 ( p < 0.001) scores was observed in the TAY group with moderate effect sizes, indicative of clinically significant improvements in depression, anxiety, and suicidality. There were no significant differences between TAY and GA groups on these measures over time, suggesting comparable improvements in both groups. Safety and tolerability outcomes were comparable between groups with only mild, transient adverse effects observed. Conclusion: Ketamine was associated with comparable clinical benefits, safety, and tolerability in a TAY sample as compared to a matched GA TRD sample.
