AbstractBronchoscopy with radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound, a guide sheath, and electromagnetic navigation can improve the diagnostic yield of peripheral lung nodules. However, the suitability of specimens for genetic analysis remains unsatisfactory. We hypothesized that a transbronchial biopsy performed after closely approaching the bronchoscope tip to the lesion might provide more suitable specimens for genetic analysis. We enrolled 155 patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions who underwent bronchoscopy with a thin or ultrathin bronchoscope. Bronchoscopy was performed using virtual bronchoscopic navigation and radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound with a guide sheath. The bronchoscope tip was placed closer to the lesion during bronchoscopy to collect larger specimens with higher malignant cell content. The patients who underwent a close-to-lesion biopsy had higher rates of overall diagnostic yield, histopathological diagnostic yield, and specimen quality for genetic testing than those who did not. The significant determinants of the specimen’s suitability were the close-to-lesion approach, within-the-lesion image, the use of standard 1.9-mm-forceps, and the number of cancer-cell-positive specimens. The significant predictors of the specimen’s suitability for genetic analysis were close-to-lesion biopsy and the number of malignant cell-positive tissue samples. This study demonstrates that the close-to-lesion transbronchial biopsy significantly improves the suitability of bronchoscopic specimens for genetic analysis.
Homogeneous microwave near-field power focusing using a cylindrical antenna array
Authors: Damavandi Mohammad-Ali , Khalaj-Amirhosseini Mohammad 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis paper presents an investigation of a microwave near-field power focusing (NFPF) analytical approach utilizing a cylindrical array of electric line sources along the z-axis, applicable to any arbitrary homogeneous linear medium. A novel parameter, termed the “focus ability” (FA), is introduced to quantitatively assess a method's capabilities in achieving power focusing. In the following, the phases and amplitudes of the excitation signals of the array elements are obtained with optimization to maximize FA over a certain studied area. Each stage of the theoretical analysis is supported through COMSOL full-wave simulations, ensuring the validity of the results. Theoretical results relevant to focused power are then compared to outcomes obtained from CST full-wave simulations with the same array configuration while employing half-wave dipole antenna elements with excitations obtained via optimization. These comparisons indicate that the excitation signals obtained by theoretical analysis can be used for power focusing when the array of half-wave dipole antenna sources is utilized. Furthermore, the proposed method leads to a significant reduction in the optimization time. Also, in the provided examples, the FA parameter and NFPF are investigated for the different conditions consisting of the type of the homogeneous medium and the number of antennas.

Published: September 2023

AbstractGrowth hormone is meaningfully involved in the processes of tooth cells differentiation and tissue formation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of dental anomalies: microdontia, macrodontia, hypodontia and developmental defects of enamel (DDE) amongst a group of isolated growth hormone deficient (GHD) patients and healthy children. This cross-sectional study was based on a group of 101 Caucasian children: 33 with GHD (mean age 10.94, SD 2.51) and 68 being healthy, normal height subjects (mean age 10.4, SD 2.38). The dental examination in primary and permanent teeth was carried out by one trained and calibrated dentist, in accordance with the WHO guidelines. It was observed that 33% of GHD patients suffer from dental anomalies (hypodontia, microdontia or macrodontia), the difference between the study group and the control group was statistically significant (33% vs 4%, p < 0.001). Hypodontia and microdontia/macrodontia were the most common problems affecting 18% and 21% of the GHD individuals, respectively. The prevalence of DDE did not differ significantly between GHD group and the control group (58% vs 48%, p > 0.05). As children with GHD present more dental anomalies than their healthy coevals, clinicians should be aware of the possible oral health problems associated with GHD and consider dental screening and management as part of the patient’s overall health care plan.

Purpose:
The aim of this study was to explore relations between speech sound disorder severity and selective mutism in a group of children with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome (Dup7), a genetic condition predisposing children to childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and other speech sound disorders and to anxiety disorders, including selective mutism and social anxiety disorder.

Method:
Forty-nine children aged 4–17 years with genetically confirmed Dup7 completed the Goldman–Fristoe Test of Articulation–Second Edition (GFTA-2), the Expressive Vocabulary Test–Second Edition (EVT-2), and the Differential Ability Scales–Second Edition (DAS-II). Parents completed the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule–Parent (ADIS-P).

Results:
Mean standard scores (SSs) were 65.67 for the GFTA-2, 92.73 for the EVT-2, and 82.69 for the DAS-II General Conceptual Ability (GCA; similar to IQ). Standard deviations for all measures were larger than for the general population. GFTA-2 SS was significantly correlated with both EVT-2 SS and DAS-II GCA. Based on the ADIS-P, 22 participants (45%) were diagnosed with selective mutism and 29 (59%) were diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. No significant differences in performance on any of the measures were found either between the group with a selective mutism diagnosis and the group that did not have selective mutism or between the group with a selective mutism and/or social anxiety disorder diagnosis and the group that did not have either disorder.

Conclusions:
For children with Dup7, neither the diagnosis of selective mutism nor the diagnosis of selective mutism and/or social anxiety disorder was related to severity of speech sound disorder, expressive vocabulary ability, or overall intellectual ability. Accordingly, treatment for speech sound disorder alone is unlikely to lead to remission of selective mutism or social anxiety disorder. Instead, selective mutism and/or social anxiety disorder should be treated directly. Further research is needed to determine if these findings generalize to other populations, such as children with idiopathic CAS.
Statistical analysis and interpretation on lightning impulse breakdown voltages of ester liquids under varying field uniformity
Authors: Yu Haichuan , Liu Qiang , Wang Zhongdong 
Published: September 2023

AbstractEster liquids (ELs), as the alternative transformer liquids to the conventional mineral oils (MOs), have been increasingly used in power transformers with high voltage ratings. Among various properties, the lightning impulse breakdown voltages (LIBDVs) have been studied elaborately in the past two decades under different electric field uniformities. The electric field uniformities do have an effect on the breakdown characteristics, for example, breakdown mechanisms, polarity effects, and differences of LIBDV between ELs and MOs, which is quantitatively investigated based on the LIBDVs collected from the literatures. The breakdown mechanism transition phenomenon between streamer initiation dominated breakdown and streamer propagation dominated breakdown has been reviewed firstly. Then, the transition field factor boundaries to observe the polarity effect on LIBDVs are taken at around 20 for ELs and 10 for MOs. Besides, the transition field factor boundaries to observe the LIBDV distinctions between ELs and MOs are about 109 and 14 under positive and negative lightning impulse, respectively. The systematic analysis and interpretation on the transition field factor boundaries among different phenomena can provide insights on insulation design of ELs filled power transformers.
Inverter open circuit fault diagnosis based on residual performance evaluation

Published: September 2023

AbstractBecause of uncertain random noise and unknown disturbance, the observer‐based inverter fault diagnosis meets the problems of large deviation of current observation value and high false alarm rate. An inverter open‐circuit fault diagnosis method is proposed via residual performance evaluation. Firstly, the interval sliding mode observer is constructed by combining the interval observer with the sliding mode observer. Three phase current estimates are obtained and current residuals are calculated. Secondly, the residual performance indicators are calculated using the evaluation function. The fault detection is derived by comparing residual performance with the threshold. Thirdly, a residual information table is established based on the fault information contained in the residual for fault isolation. Finally, the proposed algorithm is validated on simulation and physical platforms. Compared with traditional observer‐based diagnostic methods, the introduction of residual performance evaluation improves the diagnostic speed by more than 50%. The interval sliding mode observer has higher estimation accuracy and anti‐interference ability in the presence of noise and external disturbances.
Risk‐based stochastic scheduling of centralised and distributed energy storage systems
Authors: Majidi Majid , Parvania Masood , Byrne Raymond 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe authors propose a continuous‐time two‐stage stochastic optimisation model for the integration of centralised and distributed energy storage (ES) systems into power systems with high levels of volatile renewable generation. In the proposed model, centralised and distributed ES systems, respectively, controlled by the independent system operator and distribution system operator, can offer energy and flexibility to the operation of the power system in order to help accommodate the uncertainties of renewable generation and load. The proposed model considers the power network constraints and minimises the day‐ahead and real‐time operation costs of the system in the first and second stages. The proposed model utilises energy and ramping flexibility trajectories of ES systems to enhance the cost‐effective operation of the power system, countering the financial risks imposed by the integration of uncertain load and renewable generation. Simulations are conducted on the IEEE 24‐bus reliability test system with multiple risk‐aversion levels for the power system operator, and the results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed model in utilising the ES systems to provide energy and ramping flexibility and reducing the financial risks measured by the conditional value at risk.
Improved temperature dependence of rate coefficients for rotational state-to-state transitions in H2O + H2O collisions
Authors: Mandal Bikramaditya , Babikov Dmitri 
Published: September 2023

Aims. We present an improved database of temperature-dependent rate coefficients for rotational state-to-state transitions in H2O + H2O collisions. The database includes 231 transitions between the lower para-states of H2O and 210 transitions between its lower ortho-states (up to j = 7) and can be employed in cometary and planetary applications up to the temperature of 1000 K.
Methods. We developed and applied a new general method that allows the generation of rate coefficients for excitation and quenching processes that automatically satisfy the principle of microscopic reversibility and also helps to cover the range of low collision energies by interpolation of cross sections between the process threshold and the computed data points.
Results. We find that in the range of intermediate temperatures, 150 < T < 600 K, our new rate coefficients are in good agreement with those reported earlier, but for higher temperatures, 600 < T < 1000 K, the new revised temperature dependence is recommended. The low temperature range, 5 < T < 150 K, is now covered by the above-mentioned interpolation of cross sections down to the process threshold.
Shuntinterventionen bei stenosierten Hämodialyseshunts

Published: September 2023

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGKlassische Dialyseshunts repräsentieren die wichtigste Lebensader für Patienten, die sich einer dauerhaften Hämodialyse unterziehen müssen. Morbidität und Mortalität sind direkte Folgen der Dysfunktionalität oder des Verschlusses eines Dialyseshunts, wodurch maßgeblich die Lebensqualität der Patienten als auch deren Umfeld beeinträchtigt wird. Die häufigste Ursache für eine Funktionseinschränkung des Hämodialyseshunts ist eine Stenosierung entlang des Shuntverlaufs durch eine Intimahyperplasie. Eine damit meist einhergehende Thrombose kann in der weiteren Beeinträchtigung bis hin zum vollständigen Versagen und der potenziellen Aufgabe des gesamten Shunts resultieren. Funktionell wirksame Stenosen bedürfen einer zeitnahen Abklärung, und Shuntverschlüsse sind als Gefäßnotfall einer umgehenden, wenn möglich endovaskulären, Wiedereröffnung zuzuführen, um eine künftige Shuntfunktionalität zu sichern. Es existieren zahlreiche unterschiedliche Techniken zur perkutanen Rekanalisation. Dabei steht die Entfernung der ggf. ausgedehnten Thrombose im Vordergrund, um die ursächliche Stenose zu demaskieren und damit eine fokussierte Therapie zu ermöglichen. In den letzten Dekaden waren hierfür unterschiedlichste Thrombektomiekatheter verfügbar. Die klassische Ballondilatation ist weiterhin das wichtigste Verfahren zur Wiederherstellung der Shuntfunktionalität. Eine Verbesserung der Offenheitsrate lässt sich durch eine zusätzliche Beschichtung der Ballonoberfläche erreichen, wie es aus der Behandlung von Koronargefäßstenosen bekannt ist. Stents bzw. ummantelte Stents als Stentgraftprothesen werden erst nach mehrfach unzureichendem Behandlungsergebnis oder häufig wiederkehrenden Shuntstenosen bzw. Shuntverschlüssen insbesondere im Bereich des zentralvenösen Gefäßsegments verwendet.
Zukunft der interventionellen Nephrologie
Authors: Kächele Martin , Schröppel Bernd 
Published: September 2023

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDie große Vielfalt und Komplexität der Themenbereiche des Fachgebietes Nephrologie ist am Beispiel des Dialysezugangs gut zu sehen; interprofessionelles Arbeiten ist deshalb essenziell. Zunehmend mehr und vor allem ältere Dialysepatienten müssen in den kommenden Jahren versorgt werden. Dafür ist es notwendig, die vorhandenen Strukturen und Aufgabenverteilungen zu optimieren. Die Nephrologie kann dabei einen Beitrag leisten, indem einfach durchführbare Eingriffe durch interventionell tätige Ärztinnen und Ärzte übernommen werden. Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist die Vorhofkatheteranlage, für die einfach durchführbare Alternativen zur klassischen Anlage unter Durchleuchtung bestehen. Mit diesen Alternativen können in der Gefäßchirurgie und in der interventionellen Radiologie wertvolle Ressourcen geschont und Patienten schnell versorgt werden. Allerdings existieren in Deutschland – im Gegensatz zu anderen Ländern – bisher keine Curricula für die „interventionelle Nephrologie“, die dabei helfen würden, sich in diesem Teilgebiet strukturiert weiterzubilden.

Zusammenfassung
Ziel Unsere Studie geht der Frage nach, wie Psychotherapeut:innen die neu
eingeführten Behandlungselemente der Psychotherapiestrukturreform von
2017 umsetzen und beurteilen.
Methoden Wir führten halbstrukturierte Interviews mit
niedergelassenen Psychotherapeut:innen. Die Datenauswertung erfolgte mittels
qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse.
Ergebnisse Insgesamt 37 Stunden Audiomaterial von 41 Psychotherapeut:innen
lagen vor. Es zeigte sich, dass die Akutbehandlung und Rezidivprophylaxe von
Psychotherapeut:innen begrüßt werden. Aufgrund mangelnder
Terminkapazitäten sowie konzeptioneller Barrieren kommen diese jedoch
selten zur Anwendung. Bei der psychotherapeutischen Sprechstunde ergab sich ein
heterogenes Meinungsbild.
Fazit Einzelne Aspekte der psychotherapeutischen Sprechstunde,
Akutbehandlung und Rezidivprophylaxe werden positiv eingeschätzt.
Allerdings können die neuen Behandlungselemente nur
eingeschränkt umgesetzt werden und sind nicht ausreichend, um die
Versorgungslage deutlich zu verbessern.

Published: September 2023

ZusammenfassungDie Internationale Liga gegen Epilepsie (ILAE) hat in einer Serie von
Positionspapieren erstmals von der ILAE anerkannte Definitionen von
Epilepsiesyndromen zusammenfassend dargestellt. Entsprechend dem Alter bei
Erkrankungsbeginn werden Epilepsiesyndrome eingeteilt in Epilepsiesyndrome mit
Erkrankungsbeginn im Neugeborenen- und Kleinkindalter (≤2 Jahre),
Epilepsiesyndrome mit Erkrankungsbeginn in der Kindheit (2–12 Jahre)
sowie Epilepsiesyndrome mit einem variablen Alter zu Erkrankungsbeginn
(≤18 Jahre und≥19 Jahre). In jeder Altersgruppe erfolgt
gemäß den Anfallsformen eine weitere Unterteilung in
generalisierte, fokale sowie kombiniert generalisierte und fokale Syndrome.
Entwicklungsbedingte und epileptische Enzephalopathien (developmental and
epileptic encephalopathies – DEE) sowie Syndrome mit progressiver
neurologischer Verschlechterung werden als separate Kategorien in allen
Altersgruppen abgehandelt. Ätiologie-spezifische Epilepsiesyndrome sind
Syndrome, bei denen eine spezifische Ätiologie bei den meisten
betroffenen Individuen mit einem klar definierten, relativ uniformen und
umschriebenem klinischen Phänotyp sowie mit konsistenten Befunden im
EEG, in der Bildgebung und/oder in der Genetik assoziiert ist und werden
ebenso in allen Altersgruppen vorgestellt. Die idiopathischen generalisierten
Epilepsien werden unabhängig vom Alter bei Erkrankungsbeginn als eigene
Kategorie zusammengefasst.
Endurance Performance Adaptations between SSG and HIIT in Soccer
Players: A Meta-analysis

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe objective of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to compare the
endurance performance chronic adaptations induced by running-based
high-intensity interval training (HIIT), small-sided games (SSGs), and combined
HIIT+SSGs in male and female youth and adult soccer players. The studies
included in this review followed the PICOS criteria: (i) healthy soccer players;
(ii) interventions based on SSGs; (iii) comparators exposed to only HIIT or
combined SSGs+HIIT; (iv) endurance performance variables. Studies were
searched for in the following databases: (i) PubMed; (ii) Scopus; (iii)
SPORTDiscus; (iv) Web of Science. After conducting an initial database search
that retrieved a total of 5,389 records, a thorough screening process resulted
in the inclusion of 20 articles that met the eligibility criteria. Sixteen
studies reported outcomes related to endurance performance measured through
field-based tests, while five studies provided results from direct measurements
of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Results showed a non-significant
small-magnitude favoring effect for the HIIT groups compared to the SSG groups
(ES=0.37, p=0.074) for endurance, while a non-significant
small-magnitude favoring SSGs was observed (ES=–0.20,
p=0.303) for VO2max. Despite the very low certainty of
evidence, the findings suggest similar effects induced by both SSG and HIIT on
improving endurance performance and VO2max.

Published: September 2023

AbstractFunctionalized metallacages have attracted tremendous attention in recent years due to their potential applications in optical sensing, catalysis, and recognition. A novel anthracene-functionalized metallacage was synthesized and characterized in detail by UV/vis spectroscopy, 1D/2D NMR, electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. This metallacage exhibited a specific fluorescence enhancement response to OH–, PO4
3–, and AcO– anions, and further analysis indicated that this was due to anion-induced metallacage disassembly.
