Published: July 2023

AbstractEstimating population density is critical for effective species conservation, wildlife management planning, and long‐term monitoring. Obtaining accurate estimates is especially important for the wolf (Canis lupus), a widely distributed northern hemisphere apex predator whose management and conservation are highly controversial in most of its range, and whose presence usually generates high‐profile media coverage. The peculiarities of wolf social spatial organization and behavior can violate the assumptions of capture–recapture models (uniformity and independence, respectively) to a greater or lesser extent and make it difficult to obtain precise and reliable density estimates. This paper presents a case study, which estimated the population density of the Iberian wolf in the Dorsal Gallega mountain ridge (Galicia, NW Spain) based on the identification of individual wolves from their traits and behavior using video camera traps and spatially explicit capture–recapture (SCR) analyses. The study followed three phases. Firstly, field data were collected by installing camera traps and changing their location until the entire area was sampled. Second, a complete morphological and behavioral study of the wolves recorded was performed to facilitate individual recognition. Third, overdispersion due to gregariousness and other sources of heterogeneity was modeled in the SCR analyses comparing Poisson and negative binomial observation models with different random effects on the baseline detection probability. We estimated a density of 2.88 (SD: 0.37) wolves/100 km2in the study area. We concluded that estimating wolf population size using camera trap videos, individual identification, and SCR provides a feasible method and can be used for estimating the density in similar species.

AbstractObjectiveInvoluntary treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN) is sometimes necessary and lifesaving but can be experienced negatively by some individuals. The purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand participants' perceptions about their experience with involuntary treatment for AN.MethodThirty adult participants, who had been treated involuntarily for AN in the past, completed self‐report measures and qualitative interviews. Interview transcripts were coded using thematic analysis.ResultsThree themes were identified: (1) mixed perceptions about involuntary treatment, (2) the impact of involuntary treatment on external factors, including relationships, education, and employment, and (3) lessons learned from the experience. Participants who endorsed a positive shift in perspective regarding the need for involuntary treatment also reported favorable changes in their eating disorder recovery, whereas individuals whose perspective about their involuntary treatment remained negative, showed no changes in their recovery post‐treatment.ConclusionsInvoluntary treatment for AN was recognized, in retrospect, as being beneficial by individuals with AN who were doing well, but individuals who continued to struggle with their eating disorder reported negative consequences.
A data screening approach to confirming a target mineral is chlorite using EPMA and LA‐ICPMS data

Published: July 2023

AbstractApplying machine learning techniques to large datasets of in situ analyses has been proven to be a powerful tool in Earth Sciences. However, problems may arise when dealing with minerals such as chlorite, that exist as a solid solution rather than a single, stoichiometric ideal. It can be difficult to determine whether the variations in major element concentrations are due to compositional difference in the mineral of interest or due to sampling of the surrounding mineral phases in addition to the mineral of interest during the analyses. If the latter, interpretations of the results would be complicated, misled or even spurious. Here we present a method to identify chlorite based on the major and minor element content, from both LA‐ICPMS and EPMA data. Further we present a dataset of 3,317 analyses of chlorite and have shown that 7.4% of these analyses include significant quantities of non‐chlorite material.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe functional roles of structured RNAs in the regulation of biological processes, and hence RNA's potential as an effective therapeutic target, have only recently been appreciated. Robust and high‐throughput methods that identify potent RNA ligands are critical to the development of chemical probes and therapeutics. DNA‐encoded libraries (DEL) technology has emerged as a powerful tool for protein ligand discovery, and its ability to generate large, custom‐tailored, and novel chemical space offers unprecedented opportunities to discover the rules of RNA ligand design. In this review, we discuss the basic principles of DEL selection, current progress on the application of DEL to RNA targets, and the outlook of targeting RNA by DEL.

Published: July 2023

AbstractIntroductionTranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic drug that has been shown to reduce blood loss following surgery. The use of TXA during orthopedic procedures has gained widespread acceptance, with multiple clinical studies demonstrating no increase in thrombotic complications. While TXA has been shown to be safe and effective for several orthopedic procedures, its use in orthopedic sarcoma surgery is not well established. Cancer‐associated thrombosis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with sarcoma. It is unknown if intraoperative TXA use will increase the risk of developing a postoperative thrombotic complication in this population. This study aimed to compare the risk of postoperative thrombotic complications in patients who received TXA during sarcoma resection to patients who did not receive TXA.MethodsA retrospective review was performed of 1099 patients who underwent resection of a soft tissue or bone sarcoma at our institution between 2010 and 2021. Baseline demographics and postoperative outcomes were compared between patients who did and did not receive intraoperative TXA. We evaluated 90‐day complication rates, including: deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), myocardial infarction (MI), cerebrovascular accident (CVA), and mortality.ResultsTXA was used more commonly for bone tumors (p < 0.001), tumors located in the pelvis (p = 0.004), and larger tumors (p < 0.001). Patients who received intraoperative TXA were associated with a significant increase in developing a postoperative DVT (odds ratio [OR]: 2.22, p = 0.036) and PE (OR: 4.62, p < 0.001), but had no increase in CVA, MI, or mortality (all p > 0.05) within 90 days of surgery, following univariate analysis. Multivariable analysis confirmed that TXA was independently associated with developing a postoperative PE (OR: 10.64, 95% confidence interval: 2.23–50.86, p = 0.003). We found no association with DVT, MI, CVA, or mortality within 90 days postoperatively, following intraoperative TXA use.ConclusionOur results demonstrate a higher associated risk of PE following TXA use in sarcoma surgery and caution is warranted with TXA use in this patient population.

Meaning making as a moderator in international students' acculturative experience
Authors: Luz Heyde , Thomas John 
Published: July 2023

AbstractInternational students (IS) face unique challenges when attending higher education institutions in the United States that derive from acculturative stress and contribute to feelings of loneliness and depressive symptoms. This study examined the sense of meaning as a moderator in the relationship between acculturative stress, loneliness, and depressive symptoms in IS. A quantitative research design using a linear multiple regression model was employed to investigate the interplay between the variables. The findings of 80 participants indicated that there is a significant relationship between acculturative stress, loneliness, and depressive symptoms. The results also indicate that a sense of meaning moderated the relationship between acculturative stress and depressive symptoms. These results may assist counselor educators, mental health clinicians, and higher education administrators to better serve the IS population.
Considerations for transient operation—Fire incident
Authors: Garland R. Wayne 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis is the story of a root cause analysis (RCA) for a fire in a chemical operation during a transient operation. Findings from this investigation illustrate the hazards and key preventative measures that can be utilized to prevent this type of incident. It also illustrates how abnormal or transient operations should be considered in process design and procedure development. Results from the RCA and the lessons learned will be explained. Several aspects will be discussed including a number of latent factors, multiple design, and procedural issues, identification of potential scenarios in safety reviews, and design of controls and alarms.
Clinical outcomes of laparoscopic assisted cystotomy in five cats with repeated urethral obstruction
Authors: Park Young Tae , Minamoto Tomomi 
Published: July 2023

AbstractFeline urethral obstruction is a life‐threatening condition that requires immediate treatment to relieve the obstruction. If medical dissolution is not indicated, surgical intervention (e.g., open cystotomy, laparoscopic assisted cystotomy, percutaneous cystolithotomy) is necessary to remove uroliths, and minimally invasive surgery may offer some advantages. This case report describes the successful management of urethral obstruction using laparoscopic assisted cystotomy and postoperative dietary management in five cats with urethral obstruction that reoccurred within 1 week after urethral catheterisation and medical management.
Prognostic significance of post-preoperative tumor markers increments in patients with non-metastatic gastric cancer

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) are the most common tumor markers detected before and after gastric cancer (GC) surgery. However, the impact of post-preoperative CEA/CA19-9 increments on prognosis of GC remains unclear. In addition, there is no research incorporating post-preoperative CEA/CA19-9 increments into the prognostic model.

Methods
Patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for GC at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University and Anhui Provincial Hospital from January 2013 to December 2017 were enrolled and divided into the discovery and validation cohort. Prognostic value of post-preoperative CEA/CA19-9 increments and preoperative CEA/CA199 levels were assessed by Kaplan–Meier log-rank analysis and compared by time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (t-ROC) curves. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was applied to establish the nomogram. The performance of the prognostic model was validated by the concordance index (C-index), calibration curve, and ROC curve analysis.

Results
A total of 562 GC patients were included in this study. Overall survival (OS) rates decreased with an increasing number of incremental tumor markers after surgery. The t-ROC curves implied that the prognostic ability of the number of incremental post-preoperative tumor markers was superior to that of the number of positive preoperative tumor markers. Cox regression analysis suggested that the number of incremental post-preoperative tumor markers was an independent prognostic factor. The nomogram incorporated with the post-preoperative CEA/CA19-9 increments showed reliable accuracy.

Conclusions
Incremental post-preoperative CEA/CA19-9 were indicator of poor prognosis of GC. The prognostic value of post-preoperative CEA/CA19-9 increments exceed that of preoperative CEA/CA19-9 levels.
Calabi type functionals for coupled Kähler–Einstein metrics
Authors: Nakamura Satoshi 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWe introduce the coupled Ricci–Calabi functional and the coupled H-functional which measure how far a Kähler metric is from a coupled Kähler–Einstein metric in the sense of Hultgren–Witt Nyström. We first give corresponding moment weight type inequalities which estimate each functional in terms of algebraic invariants. Secondly, we give corresponding Hessian formulas for these functionals at each critical point, which have an application to a Matsushima type obstruction theorem for the existence of a coupled Kähler–Einstein metric.
Fast transport diffusion of bound water in cellulose fiber network
Authors: Zou Yuliang , Maillet Benjamin , Brochard Laurent , Coussot Philippe 
Published: July 2023

AbstractA remarkable property of cellulose-based materials is that they can absorb huge amounts of water (25% of the dry mass) from ambient vapor, in the form of bound water confined at a nanoscale in the amorphous regions of the cellulose structure. The control of the dynamics of sorption and desorption of bound water is a major stake for the reduction of energy consumption and material or structure damages, but in the absence of direct observations this process is still poorly known. Here we present measurements of bound water transport thanks to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance relaxometry and Magnetic Resonance Imaging measurements. We show that the bound water is transported along the fibers and throughout the network of fibers in contact. For each material a single transport diffusion coefficient value allows to represent the processes over the whole range of saturation. The dependence of the transport diffusion coefficient on the fiber density and orientation is then analyzed to deduce the (elementary) transport diffusion coefficient of bound water along a cellulose fiber axis. This constitutes fundamental physical data which may be compared with molecular simulations, and opens the way to the prediction and control of sorption dynamics of all cellulosic materials or other hygroscopic materials.
PUL – die schwierige Diagnostik in der Frühschwangerschaft
Authors: Feil Katharina 
Published: July 2023

ZusammenfassungEine „pregnancy of unknown location“ (PUL) bezeichnet eine unklar gelegene Schwangerschaft mit laborchemischem Nachweis von hCG ohne sonographischen Schwangerschaftsnachweis. Ab einem hCG-Wert von 1000 IU/l sollte sonographisch eine intrauterine Fruchthöhle erkennbar sein. Bei einer ektopen Schwangerschaft sind meistens nur indirekte Ultraschallzeichen wie das „bagel sign“, das „blob sign“ oder freie Flüssigkeit darstellbar. Da sich kein Verlauf des hCG-Werts festlegen lässt, bei dem eine ektope Schwangerschaft sicher ausgeschlossen werden kann, müssen serielle hCG-Werte immer im Kontext mit den klinischen und sonographischen Befunden beurteilt werden. Die therapeutischen Optionen sind ein exspektatives Vorgehen, die medikamentöse Intervention oder eine operative Therapie.
Action Guidance and Educating for Intellectual Virtue: A Response to Kotzee, Carter, and Siegel
Authors: McKeon Matthew , Ferkany Matthew 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In their “Educating for Intellectual Virtue: A Critique from Action Guidance” Kotzee, Carter and Siegel (2019) argue against what they call the intellectual virtues (IV) approach to the primary epistemic aim of education and in favor of what they call the critical thinking (CT) approach. The IV approach says that educating for intellectual virtue is the primary epistemic aim of education. The CT approach says that it is educating for critical thinking. They argue that the exemplarist/role-modeling pedagogy of the IV approach is not sufficiently action-guiding, because it does not teach students the know-how needed to think well. This they call the pedagogical challenge to the IV approach. We argue that their criticism of the IV approach fails. In general, possessing an intellectual virtue requires having a corresponding critical-thinking skill set. Also, for one to exercise critical-thinking skills well it is necessary that they possess dispositional components of corresponding intellectual virtues. Accordingly, intellectual virtues can be groomed in non-exemplarist ways that seem sufficiently action-guiding. Furthermore, the pedagogical challenge for the IV approach is a challenge for the CT approach as teaching for critical-thinking dispositions seems heavily reliant on an exemplarist pedagogy and so to this extent is non-action-guiding.

AbstractInappropriate dental antibiotic prescriptions to prevent infective endocarditis in the United States results in ∼$31 million in excess costs to the healthcare system and patients. This includes out-of-pocket costs ($20.5 million), drug costs ($2.69 million) and adverse event costs (eg, Clostridioides difficile and hypersensitivity) of $5.82 million (amoxicillin), $1.99 million (clindamycin), and $380,849 (cephalexin).
The number ofOesophagostomumspp. larvae recovered in coprocultures varies with media used

Published: July 2023

AbstractNodular roundworms (Oesophagostomumspp.) are frequent parasites of the large intestine in several mammal species including humans and pigs, and their study often requires the use of infective larvae produced using several coproculture techniques. However, there is no published comparison of techniques to determine which yields the highest number of larvae. This study compares the number of larvae recovered from coprocultures made with charcoal, sawdust, vermiculite, and water in an experiment repeated twice using feces from a sow naturally infected withOesophagostomumspp. at an organic farm. A higher number of larvae were recovered from coprocultures using sawdust relative to other types of media used, and this was consistent across the two trials. The use of sawdust to cultureOesophagostomumspp. larvae is rarely reported and our study suggests it can yield higher numbers relative to other media.

Published: July 2023

AbstractObjective:Evaluation of California Department of Public Health’s three-year social marketing campaign (Be Better) to encourage healthy eating and water consumption among Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) California mothers. Andreasen’s social marketing framework was used to outline the development and evaluation of the campaign.Design:Quantitative, pre-post cross-sectional study with three cohorts nested within survey years. Generalised estimating equation modeling was used to obtain population estimates of campaign reach and changes in mothers’ fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption and facilitative actions towards their children’s health behaviours.Setting:CalFresh Healthy Living (California’s SNAP-Ed).Participants:Three separate cohorts of SNAP mothers were surveyed (pre, post) between 2016 and 2018 inclusive. A total of 2229 mothers (ages 18–59) self-identified as White, Latina, African American or Asian/Pacific Islander participated.Results:Approximately 82 percent of surveyed mothers were aware of the campaign as assessed by measures of recall and recognition. Ad awareness was positively associated with mothers’ FV consumption (R2 = 0·45), with the proportion of FV on plates and with behaviours that facilitate children’s FV consumption and limit unhealthy snacks and sugary drinks (βs ranged from 0·1 to 0·7).Conclusions:The campaign successfully reached 82 percent of surveyed mothers. Positive associations between California’s Be Better campaign and targeted health behaviours were observed, although the associations varied by year and media channel (i.e. television, radio, billboards and digital). Most associations between ad awareness and outcomes were noted in years two and three of the campaign, suggesting that more than 1 year of campaign exposure was necessary for associations to emerge.
