Background and Aim:
In our study, patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) using Del Nido cardioplegia (DNC) and crystalloid-based cold blood cardioplegia (CBC) were compared.

Subject and Methods:
In this study, two groups of patients who underwent isolated CABG using DNC (n = 106) and CBC (n = 107) were prospectively randomized. Groups were compared in terms of many results such as troponin T, returning spontaneous rhythm, and cardioplegia volume.

Results and Conclusions:
Median troponin T levels of the DNC and CBC groups were compared for the 0th hour (baseline), 12th, 36th, and 60th hours. There was no statistical difference between groups in troponin T levels of the baseline 0th hour (18[33] vs. 22[27] pg/ml; P = 0.724). Troponin T levels at the 12th hour were less in the DNC group than the CBC group but no statistical difference between the groups (790[735] vs. 826[820] pg/ml; P = 0.068), respectively. Troponin T levels at 36th and 60th hours were higher in the CBC group compared to the DNC group, and a statistical difference was observed (580[546] vs. 650[550] pg/ml; P = 0.030) and (359[395] vs. 421[400] pg/ml; P = 0.020), respectively. After X-clamping, the spontaneous rhythm rate was statistically higher in the DNC group than the CBC group (72.60% vs. 37.40%; P < 0.001). There was no statistical difference between the groups in terms of postoperative arrhythmia, hospital stay, and mortality rates (P > 0.05). Based on data we acquired from the study, we think that DNC is at least as safe and effective as CBC in adult CABG cases.

Published: May 2023

Background and Aim:
Combined use of surgical mask with filtering facepiece (FFP) 2 masks has been popular among the health-care workers. However, the effect of this preference on the vital values of individuals stays as a challenge among the professionals. The present study aimed to assess the effect of FFP2 mask versus combined use of it with surgical mask on the SpO2 values and pulse rates of individuals.

Patients and Methods:
This study was conducted on 20 health-care workers. The pulse rates and SpO2 values were evaluated by pulse oximeter placed in the index fingers of the participants. The participants were divided into two groups: those using the FFP2 mask and those using FFP2–surgical mask combination. Individuals wearing FFP2 mask were examined for a period of 60 min and the same examination was repeated for another period of 60 min in those using combination of FFP2 with surgical mask. The values were measured at the beginning and at 15, 30, 45, and 60 min intervals, respectively. The examinations were conducted in the rest position to obtain standardization.

Results:
The observed data showed no statistical difference at all periods in either SpO2 values or pulse rates between FFP2 and FFP2–surgical mask combined groups. The SpO2 values reduced from the initial time to 15 min in the FFP2–surgical mask group. Also, in the FFP2–SM group, statistically significant increase in values was observed between 15 and 45 min and 15 and 60 min. Another increase in SpO2 value was found in the observations made between made 30 and 45 min in the same group (P < 0.05). The pulse rates of the individuals showed no statistical difference in both the groups and at all experimental periods (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
According to the present study, wearing only the FFP2 mask or FFP2–surgical mask combination seems not to cause any effect on the SpO2 values and pulse rates of the participants.

Abstract

PURPOSE:
This study used contrast sensitivity (CS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess the functional and structural alterations of the macula and the optic nerve head (ONH) in diabetic patients with no retinopathy and those with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
In this study, 40 eyes of 20 diabetic patients with no diabetic retinopathy (DR), 40 eyes of 20 diabetic patients with mild NPDR, and 36 eyes of 18 healthy individuals were examined. Best-corrected visual acuity (VA) and CS were performed using early treatment DR study charts and the Pelli-Robson chart, respectively. The macula and ONH were evaluated using OCT, which provided data on the entire retina, inner retinal layer, outer retinal layer, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and the macula zone-ellipsoid zone-retinal pigment epithelium layer.

RESULTS:
VA and CS were significantly different between the three groups (P < 0.001). The entire thickness of the retina and the internal thickness of the retina in the 3–6 mm subfields of the macular region, as well as the thickness of the ganglion cell layer + inner plexiform layer (GCL + IPL) and GCL + IPL + RNFLs, differed significantly across the groups (P < 0.013).

CONCLUSION:
In diabetic subjects with no retinopathy, the reduced thickness of the GCL + IPLs is possibly indicative of early neurodegenerative changes in the inner retina. Furthermore, in the diabetic groups, a decrease in CS was observed compared to the control group.
MLCNN‐COV: A multilabel convolutional neural network‐based framework to identify negative COVID medicine responses from the chemical three‐dimensional conformer
Authors: Das Pranab , Mazumder Dilwar Hussain 
Published: May 2023

AbstractTo treat the novel COronaVIrus Disease (COVID), comparatively fewer medicines have been approved. Due to the global pandemic status of COVID, several medicines are being developed to treat patients. The modern COVID medicines development process has various challenges, including predicting and detecting hazardous COVID medicine responses. Moreover, correctly predicting harmful COVID medicine reactions is essential for health safety. Significant developments in computational models in medicine development can make it possible to identify adverse COVID medicine reactions. Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, there has been significant demand for developing COVID medicines. Therefore, this paper presents the transfer‐learning methodology and a multilabel convolutional neural network for COVID (MLCNN‐COV) medicines development model to identify negative responses of COVID medicines. For analysis, a framework is proposed with five multilabel transfer‐learning models, namely, MobileNetv2, ResNet50, VGG19, DenseNet201, and Inceptionv3, and an MLCNN‐COV model is designed with an image augmentation (IA) technique and validated through experiments on the image of three‐dimensional chemical conformer of 17 number of COVID medicines. The RGB color channel is utilized to represent the feature of the image, and image features are extracted by employing the Convolution2D and MaxPooling2D layer. The findings of the current MLCNN‐COV are promising, and it can identify individual adverse reactions of medicines, with the accuracy ranging from 88.24% to 100%, which outperformed the transfer‐learning model's performance. It shows that three‐dimensional conformers adequately identify negative COVID medicine responses.

ABSTRACT.
Ocular infections associated with sporotrichosis can present four clinical manifestations: granulomatous conjunctivitis, dacryocystitis, Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome, and bulbar conjunctivitis. The incidence of ocular sporotrichosis related to zoonotic transmission has significantly increased in endemic regions and is a frequently misdiagnosed cause of granulomatous conjuntivitis. Therefore, we present a series of seven cases of eye injury by Sporothrix strains, including clinical forms, therapeutic approaches, and laboratory procedures to alert health professionals who provide care to these patients.

ABSTRACT.
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are the leading cause of death in young children globally. Most of the global burden of mortality from LRTIs occurs in low-resource settings (LRSs), where obtaining and maintaining respiratory support devices such as commercial bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) can be prohibitive. Low-cost bCPAP devices exist, such as the homemade WHO-style bCPAP design, but the safety of this design has been called into question. Based on our team’s experience with homemade bCPAP, the side effects of the high pressures described in recent studies are not commonly encountered. Therefore, we sought feedback via an international survey about various complications including pneumothorax from practitioners in LRSs who use two forms of homemade bCPAP. In our qualitative survey, we did not find a convincing pattern in the recall of complications between commercial bCPAP and homemade bCPAP with narrow- or wide-bore expiratory limb in neonates or older children.

Does the Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme Improve Carbon Total Factor Productivity? Evidence from Chinese Cities
Authors: Yang Wantong , Zhang Ning 
Published: May 2023

Improving carbon total factor productivity (CTFP) is required for China’s sustainable development, and the carbon emission trading scheme (ETS) is crucial to achieving this goal. In this paper, we calculate the city CTFP using meta Malmquist-Luenberger (MML) index from 2008 to 2019 and decompose it into efficiency change (EC), best practice gap change (BPC) and technology gap change (TGC). Then we construct a staggered Difference-in-Difference (DID) strategy to investigate the impact of regional ETS pilot policy on city-level CTFP using city panel data from 2008 to 2019. The main results show that the ETS pilot policy can increase CTFP by 3.3% in ETS cities compared to non-ETS cities. Mechanism tests suggest that the growth in CTFP mainly results from an increase in efficiency change and best practice gap ratio. Moreover, we use the CTFP calculated from the Solow residual instead of the CTFP obtained from the meta Malmquist–Luenberger index. We also perform other robustness tests to exclude the interference of potential threats to the results.

Model-simulated hydroclimate in the East Asian summer monsoon region during past and future climate: a pilot study with a moisture source perspective
Authors: Fremme Astrid , Hezel Paul J. , Seland Øyvind , Sodemann Harald 
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Here we present a pilot study of the sensitivity of summer monsoon precipitation in the Yangtze River Valley (YRV; 110–122∘ E and 27–33∘ N, eastern China) to climatic boundary conditions from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), pre-industrial conditions, and the Representative Concentration Pathway 6 emission scenario from two different climate models. Using a quantitative Lagrangian moisture source diagnostic based on backward trajectories, we are able to interpret changes in precipitation amount and seasonality in terms of processes at the source regions and during transport that contribute to YRV precipitation. Thereby, we gain insight into influential processes and characteristics related to precipitation variability and the sensitivity of the summer monsoon hydroclimate in East Asia to boundary-condition changes in models. Comparing 10-year time slices similar to present-day conditions from the NorESM1-M and CAM5.1 models to reanalysis data reveals overall similar moisture source regions, albeit with a tendency for a more local precipitation origin in the climate models. The general characteristics of the moisture sources and moisture transport in the YRV are relatively stable across different climate forcings, both concerning the mean location of source regions, transport distance, and the relative contributions of moisture from land and ocean areas. Changes regarding regional precipitation contributions from the East Asian continent indicate that precipitation recycling responds to different climate forcings. We interpret these findings such that models to first order respond with a scaling rather than reorganisation of the hydroclimate to climatic forcing, while land–atmosphere interactions play an important, but secondary, role. If the model simulations are accurate, the moisture source regions and thus the general processes of precipitation in the YRV could remain relatively stable across different climates. However, some differences in moisture source conditions are larger between the different climate models than between different climatic boundary conditions in the same model. It may therefore be possible that current climate models underestimate the potential for non-linear responses to changing boundary conditions, for example due to precipitation recycling. Although limited by the relatively short analysis period, our findings demonstrate that the diagnosis of moisture sources provides a useful additional perspective for understanding and quantifying precipitation mechanisms and the hydroclimate simulated by models and enables more detailed evaluation of model simulations, for example using paleoclimate records.
“Plenty of Vaccines, but Not Enough Arms”: A Social-Ecological Approach to COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in Rural US Communities
Authors: Smollin Leandra , Lubitow Amy 
Published: May 2023

This article leads off the special issue’s first section on _Health, Mental Health, and Well-Being Today Among Marginalized Populations_. It draws from multiple disciplines to address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in rural areas of the United States. Presenting a synthesis of literature on rural vaccine hesitancy and emerging research and scientific opinion on COVID 19, we identify likely factors in rural decision-making about COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccination is underway, with plans to provide access to every U.S. resident. However, polls suggest vaccine hesitancy may compromise our ability to reach the goal of herd immunity, and rural residents express more hesitancy than their urban and suburban counterparts. Drawing on Thomson et al.’s (2016) identification of five dimensions of vaccine uptake, we use a social-ecological approach to propose actions to increase vaccine acceptance on individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and cultural levels. This conceptual paper is a starting point for rural health and human services administrators and practitioners seeking to reduce COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in their communities in this early stage of COVID-19 vaccination.
Bioinspired Soft Robotics for Sustainability
Authors: Mazzolai Barbara 
Published: May 2023

The advancement of technology has a profound and far-reaching impact on society, currently penetrating all areas of life. This advance, however, often negatively affects our ecosystems, with growing demands on energy, contributions to greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental pollution. Mitigating these adverse effects is among the grand challenges of our times and provides a strong motivation to push the research frontier on materials and robotics. A new wave of eco-friendly robots is envisioned by merging bioinspired soft robotics, material science, nanocomposite technologies, and environmental science.Taking inspiration from natural systems can provide new insights for designing the next generation robots and rethinking robot bodies, control, and interactions with humans/world over their entire life (i.e., a robotics life cycle). These “green robots” will operate in unstructured environments for environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, reforestation, biodiversity protection, and remediation.With this vision in mind, this talk will present some of our results on plant- and soft animal-inspired robots with high morphological adaptability, distributed sensory systems, as well as energy-saving mechanisms, which are able to operate in natural habitats while minimizing waste and reducing their environmental footprint.
“Nay, is there not a pathos in their very insignificance?”: Συμπάθεια in “The Sad Fortunes of the Reverend Amos Barton”
Authors: Caballero Juan de Dios Torralbo 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This article examines “The Sad Fortunes of the Reverend Amos Barton,” paying particular attention to the hardships endured by his wife and the toll they take on her. In many ways, Amelia Barton is the archetypal Victorian housewife and mother, and a synecdoche of female domesticity. When she dies at the age of thirty-five, her role is taken up by her eldest daughter. Patty is nine years old at the start of the narrative, appearing as a thirty-year-old woman in the conclusion. The central premise of this article is to demonstrate that the premature death of Amelia stands as an emphatic condemnation of the established gendered roles firmly embedded in Victorian society; it is a powerful challenge to the contemporary status quo with regard to the role of women, both within the family and in society in general. The study applies the ideas of contemporary figures—thinkers such as Ruskin, and poets such as Tennyson—regarding Victorian gendered roles (gentlemanliness, womanliness, female self-restraint). It also explores the concepts of pathos and sympátheia in relation to “The Sad Fortunes,” as well as examining the text in terms of the author’s own conception of the novel.
Harris Hawks Approach for Distinct Economic Dispatch Problems
Authors: ALI E. 
Published: May 2023

In this paper, a nature-inspired optimization paradigm is suggested, which is called Harris Hawks Approach (HHA). The main inspiration of HHA is the cooperative behavior and chasing style of Harris’ hawks in nature called surprise pounce. In this intelligent strategy, diverse hawks cooperatively pounce victim from distinct directions in an attempt to surprise it. Harris hawks can detect a variety of chasing patterns based on the dynamic nature of scenarios and escaping styles of the victim. HHA is developed for solving the Economic Dispatch (ED) process. Since the ED is a non-linear, complex and constrained optimization process, its main objective is to reduce the total generation cost while matching the equality and inequality constraints of the system. To prove the capabilities of the developed HHA, several test systems including 6, 13, 40 and 10 units have been implemented and tested for solving various ED problems. The simulation results illustrate the strength of the HHA compared with other algorithms recently reported in literature.
