Applications of Indocyanine Green in Breast Cancer for Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping: Protocol for a Scoping Review
Authors: Kurdi Feryal , Kurdi Yahya , Reshetov Igor Vladimirovich 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction
Breast cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accurate sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping is crucial for staging and treatment planning in early-stage breast cancer. Indocyanine green (ICG) has emerged as a promising agent for fluorescence imaging in SLN mapping. However, comprehensive assessment of its clinical utility, including accuracy and adverse effects, remains limited. This scoping review aims to consolidate evidence on the use of ICG in breast cancer SLN mapping.

Objective
The objective of this scoping review is to evaluate the current literature on the use of ICG in SLN mapping for patients with breast cancer. This review aims to assess the accuracy, efficacy, and safety of ICG in this context and to identify gaps in the existing research. The outcomes will contribute to the development of further research as part of a PhD project.

Methods
Five electronic databases will be searched (PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus) using search strategies developed in consultation with an academic supervisor. The search strategy is set to human studies published in English within the last 11 years. All retrieved citations will be imported to Zotero and then uploaded to Covidence for the screening of titles, abstracts, and full text according to prespecified inclusion criteria. Patients with early-stage breast cancer (T1 and T2), selected T3 cases where the SLN biopsy is accurate, and those with clinically node-negative breast cancer will be included. The intervention criterion includes studies using ICG for SLN mapping and studies on the assessment of fluorescence imaging cameras. Citations meeting the inclusion criteria for full-text review will have their data extracted by 2 independent reviewers, with disagreements resolved by discussion. A data extraction tool will be developed to capture full details about the participants, concept, and context, and findings relevant to the scoping review will be summarized.

Results
The preliminary search began in December 2023. As of September 2024, papers have been screened and data are currently being extracted. Out of the 2130 references initially imported, 126 studies met the inclusion criteria after screening. The scoping review is expected to be published in January 2025.

Conclusions
Although ICG technology has been used for SLN mapping in patients with breast cancer, initial searches in 2022 revealed limited data on this technique’s feasibility, safety, and effectiveness. At that time, preliminary search of Scopus, MEDLINE, Embase, and PubMed identified no current or forthcoming systematic reviews or scoping reviews on the topic. However, recent searches indicate a substantial increase in research and reviews, reflecting a growing interest and evidence in this area.

This study documents the death feigning behavior in the Paraíba Robber Frog (Pristimantis ramagii) in ex-situ conditions when confronted with a predation attempt by the non-venomous snake Boettger's Sipo (Chironius flavolineatus). Despite being preyed by the snake, the amphibian’s antipredator mechanism was efficient in avoiding predation while executed. Our findings stated the of this behaviour in P. ramagii and underscored the adaptive significance of death feigning in enhancing prey survival during predatory encounters in natural conditions.
What matter for farmers’ crop specialization in China
Authors: Han Hongyun , Yuan Zhen , Zou Kai 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Agriculture in developing countries is undergoing a transition from self-sustaining subsistence to specialized production. It is believed that the primary barriers to market participation and specialized production for farmers are market remoteness and limited access to market information. Using evidence from China, this paper aims to examine the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and market extent in the process of agricultural specialization. The study finds that both the extent of market and the level of coverage and utilization of ICTs contribute positively to crop specialization. Furthermore, the complementary relationship between these factors indicate that ICT adoption enhances specialization for farmers distant from markets. Further analysis shows that the extent of market and ICTs facilitate farmers’ transition towards specialization by fostering commercialization, mechanization and intensification. This study highlights the significance of market extent and information access for agricultural transformation. Therefore, it is important for policymakers to expand infrastructural coverage (especially roads and communication networks), enhance market information services, and promote ICT adoption among rural farmers.

Published: January 2025

SUMMARY
This study evaluated the influence of six resin composite coating agents on color stability and surface roughness after toothbrushing abrasion. Discs (Ø6 mm x 2 mm) of nanofilled resin composite (Filtek Z350XT) were prepared for application of coating agents (n=10): control (absence), two surface sealants (PermaSeal and BisCover LV), two adhesive systems (Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Adhesive/3M Oral Care and Single Bond Universal), and two modeling liquids (Modeling Resin and Composite Wetting Resin). CIELab*, WID, and color change (ΔEab, ΔE00, and ΔWID) were analyzed at baseline, after finishing and polishing, after application of coating agents, after coffee staining (simulating 30 days and one year of staining), and after toothbrushing abrasion. Roughness evaluations (Ra) were performed at the initial time point, after finishing and polishing, after application of coating agents, and after toothbrushing abrasion. Surface micromorphology was evaluated (2,000×) before and after toothbrushing abrasion. Generalized linear mixed models or Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (α=0.05) showed that L* decreased significantly (p&lt;0.0001) and a* increased significantly in all the groups after staining (p&lt;0.0001). After toothbrushing, Modeling Resin showed higher ΔEab and ΔE00 than the control, Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Adhesive, Composite Wetting Resin, PermaSeal, or BisCover LV (p&lt;0.0001). There was a significant increase in roughness for Composite Wetting Resin, Modeling Resin, and PermaSeal after application of the agents (p&lt;0.05), but a significant decrease for BisCover LV (p&lt;0.05), which achieved high surface smoothness. After abrasive wear, BisCover LV showed the lowest roughness values among all agents. Composite Wetting Resin and Modeling Resin showed higher roughness than the other groups (p&lt;0.05), and surface irregularities. In conclusion, the coating agents did not prevent coffee staining, and they also led to increased surface roughness, with only BisCover LV providing greater surface smoothness after toothbrush abrasion.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Having quality wine is important for a wine company; however, it is necessary to have a communication strategy and be aware that digital marketing activities are constantly evolving and that companies need to adapt to stay close to their audience. Increasingly, the wine sector sees digital marketing as a valuable and convenient tool for promoting companies and as a way to reach consumers. The Regional Wine Commissions (RWC) are entities whose mission is to promote and publicise the wine products of their region. The aim of this paper is to analyse the performance, on a digital level (Facebook, Instagram and website), and the use of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) techniques of two RWCs, that of the Trás-os-Montes Region and the Dão Region, both located in Portugal. It is also intended to identify how they promote regional producers and the wine tourism offers on their websites.

Abstract
An in-depth understanding of the business dynamics of a given sector enables key stakeholders to define appropriate strategies for its development, promotion and consolidation. This study aims to analyse the Portuguese tourism and hospitality sector, characterising the companies and their business dynamics between 2011 and 2022. It uses a Related-Samples Friedman‘s Two-Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks to identify any statistically significant differences between the subsegments of Hotels and Restaurants, Recreational and Cultural Activities, and Transports and Logistics using specific competitiveness indicators. The results show significant differences between the subsegments in some indicators. The sector is resilient and plays a key role in recovering from highly impactful challenges. Micro and small companies employ thousands of people and make hotels and restaurants a key subsegment of activity for the sector. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of the tourism sector, providing valuable information to industry players and researchers.
Application of Benford’s law to detect signs of under-invoicing in companies in the restaurant sector during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Martins Ana , Alves Jorge , Vaz Clara 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The main objective of this study is to detect signs of under-invoicing by applying Benford’s law to the Portuguese restaurant sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, in the context of government support policies. Between 2020 and 2021, the State adopted several measures to provide additional support to companies that have seen a significant decrease in their activity, namely, a reduction of at least 25% in turnover. A literature review was carried out focusing on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the companies under analysis, the support measures adopted by the State and, finally, a survey of the theoretical component relating to the application of Benford’s law in accounting. The data were collected from the Iberian Balance Sheet Analysis System database for 2019, 2020, and 2021. After analysing the data, significant deviations are observed in several digits, practically for all the compliance tests, both in the analysis of the first digit test and in the analysis of the first two digits test. The results therefore show signs of under-invoicing in 2020 by the analysed companies, which suffered, on average, a 79% reduction in turnover.

Published: January 2025

Objective: the Ayacucho region, characterized by its diverse relief between highlands and jungle, faces challenges such as drug trafficking and terrorism. The VRAEM, a conflict zone with a Shining Path presence, lacks infrastructure and services. The research addresses barriers to educational scholarships, seeking to mitigate poverty and drug trafficking in the región.

Theoretical Framework: This research analyzes the university scholarships granted by the Peruvian government to vulnerable young people, focusing on the region of Ayacucho, affected by the violence of the Shining Path and drug trafficking, in order to promote access to higher education.

Method: research in the district of Llochegua, Ayacucho, focused on the Quechua-speaking population affected by drug trafficking. Funded by PROCIENCIA and CONCYTEC, the research included informal and formal interviews with villagers and former grantees. The analysis was triangulated with information from other universities, especially on bilingualism.

Results and Discussion: Llochegua faces significant challenges in terms of access, labor formalization and university education due to its context of drug trafficking and social legends. However, it also presents opportunities for development through higher education, cultural integration and the fight against violence, promoting social and economic wellbeing.

Research Implications: Promotes the educational inclusion of young people from vulnerable areas, contributing to their development and improving their job opportunities. Through the promotion of education, it seeks to generate positive change in communities affected by violence and drug trafficking, favoring long-term social reconstruction.

Originality/Value: centralism in Peru favors Lima to the exclusion of the provinces, limiting employment opportunities for former scholarship recipients in areas outside of education and the municipality. The lack of employment in their localities forces young people to emigrate, frustrating social mobility and regional economic growth.

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) application procedures (ie, target, thrust, and region) impacted changes in pain and disability for adults with spine pain. DESIGN: Systematic review with network meta-analysis. LITERATURE SEARCH: We searched PubMed and Epistemonikos for systematic reviews indexed up to February 2022 and conducted a systematic search of 5 databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL [Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials], PEDro [Physiotherapy Evidence Database], and Index to Chiropractic Literature) from January 1, 2018, to September 12, 2023. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from recent systematic reviews and newly identified RCTs published during the review process and employed artificial intelligence to identify potentially relevant articles not retrieved through our electronic database searches. STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: We included RCTs of the effects of high-velocity, low-amplitude SMT, compared to other SMT approaches, interventions, or controls, in adults with spine pain. DATA SYNTHESIS: The outcomes were spinal pain intensity and disability measured at short-term (end of treatment) and long-term (closest to 12 months) follow-ups. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using version 2 of the Cochrane RoB tool. Results were presented as network plots, evidence rankings, and league tables. RESULTS: We included 161 RCTs (11 849 participants). Most SMT procedures were equal to clinical guideline interventions and were slightly more effective than other treatments. When comparing inter-SMT procedures, effects were small and not clinically relevant. A general and nonspecific rather than a specific and targeted SMT approach had the highest probability of achieving the largest effects. Results were based on very low– to low-certainty evidence, mainly downgraded owing to large within-study heterogeneity, high RoB, and an absence of direct comparisons. CONCLUSION: There was low-certainty evidence that clinicians could apply SMT according to their preferences and the patients’ preferences and comfort. Differences between SMT approaches appear small and likely not clinically relevant. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2025;55(2):109-122. Epub 7 January 2025. https://doi.org/10.2519/jospt.2025.12707
