Annular erythema of infancy: A rare and challenging diagnosis
Authors: Ly Sophia , Guram Mavinder , Zoumberos Nicholas , Kincannon Jay , Evans Megan S. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractAnnular erythema of infancy is a rare, benign disease characterized by enlarging annular patches and plaques that resolve spontaneously. Histopathology typically demonstrates a perivascular mixed lymphohistiocytic infiltrate with increased eosinophils. We present two cases of annular erythema of infancy, at ages 2–4 weeks, and review the literature on annular erythema of infancy. It is important to differentiate this distinct, benign disease from serious autoimmune or infectious processes, such as neonatal lupus erythematosus and syphilis, which may present with similar annular lesions in infancy.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundMeasuring missed nursing care in clinical settings may serve as an important indicator for improving patient safety and nursing staff retention. Internationally, several tools exist, with the MISSCARE Survey being the most frequently used and validated; however, no tools are available in the Danish language.AimThis study aimed at translating the MISSCARE Survey from US English to Danish and evaluate its psychometric properties.MethodsThe translation followed the recommended method, that is forward‐and‐backward translation, involving clinical experts and a professional, native English‐speaking translator. The final version was approved by the survey's original developer. Face validity was tested among 10 nurses and 1 practical nurse. Nursing staff from 34 selected departments at Aarhus University Hospital's (n = 1241) were invited to participate in a pilot test in November 2020. The survey consisted of a demographic section, a section of ‘nursing elements’ (Part A) and section of ‘reasons’ (Part B). Acceptability was assessed on Part A and B. Reliability was tested by Cronbach's alpha, and psychometric properties were investigated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (Part B).ResultsThe face‐validity test resulted in minor contextual changes and the addition of a ‘not applicable’ response option in Part A. The pilot test had a 42.6% response rate (n = 529). Acceptability was good, with 1–10 missing responses per item in Part A and 0–20 missing responses in Part B. The numbers of ‘not applicable’ responses ranged from 0 to 81. The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.81. Factor‐loading ranges were 0.62–0.48 for ‘communication’, 0.79–0.39 for ‘materials and resources’, and 0.50–0.35 for ‘labour’, suggesting an acceptable fit with the theoretical model.ConclusionThe MISSCARE Survey was successfully translated into Danish. The psychometric properties confirmed the questionnaire as a valid and reliable tool for measuring missed nursing care in Danish hospital settings.
Recalcitrant hypercalcemia in a dialysis patient: Case report, literature review, and proposed management algorithm

Published: January 2023

AbstractA 62‐year‐old male on maintenance hemodialysis, who was bedbound after a cerebrovascular accident, developed progressive hypercalcemia during a prolonged hospital stay. The etiology of hypercalcemia was attributed to immobility after extensive workup including imaging for malignancy or granulomatous disease, parathyroid hormone levels, parathyroid hormone related peptide, and vitamin D levels were unyielding. Low calcium dialysate would transiently reduce serum calcium levels, but levels would rebound in the interdialytic period. In view of recalcitrant hypercalcemia presenting with crisis, denosumab was successfully used to lower serum calcium. We review the literature and propose a management algorithm for severe hypercalcemia in a patient on dialysis.
Simultaneous neutralization of TGF‐β and IL‐6 attenuates Staphylococcus aureus‐induced arthritic inflammation through differential modulation of splenic and synovial macrophages

Published: January 2023

AbstractSeptic arthritis is a joint disease caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Different macrophage populations contribute in various ways to control blood‐borne infections and induce inflammatory responses. Macrophage tissue–resident niche is necessary for the suppression of chronic inflammation and may contribute to the pathogenesis of septic arthritis. Thus, to obtain a resolution of the disease and restoration of synovial homeostasis, it needs the activation of macrophages that further regulate the inflammatory consequences. The aim of this study was to find out the mechanism by which neutralization of transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) and/or interleukin (IL)‐6 after induction of septic arthritis could alter the specific macrophage responses in spleen and synovial joints via different cytokines (osteoprotegerin (OPG), osteopontin (OPN), IL‐10, IL‐12 and CXCL8) cross‐talking, and how the response could be modulated by reactive oxygen species vs antioxidant enzyme activities. Dual neutralization of TGF‐β and IL‐6 is notably effective in eliciting splenic and synovial tissue–resident macrophage responses. Synovial macrophage‐derived IL‐10 can elicit protection against septic arthritis via regulating receptor‐activated nuclear factor Kappa‐B ligand (RANKL)/OPG interaction. They also reduced oxidative stress by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes including SOD and catalase. Histopathological analysis revealed that dual neutralization of TGF‐β and IL‐6 prevented bone destruction and osteoclastic activity in septic arthritis by promoting the differential functional response of the splenic and synovial macrophages. Additionally, the macrophage‐derived IL‐10 can elicit protection against S. aureus‐induced septic arthritis via regulating RANKL/OPG interaction. Further studies on STAT3 and STAT4 are needed for the understanding of such cross‐talking in resident macrophages of arthritic mice.
Soil organic carbon content and soil structure quality of clayey cropland soils: A large‐scale study in the Swiss Jura region
Authors: Johannes Alice , Sauzet Ophélie , Matter Adrien , Boivin Pascal 
Published: January 2023

AbstractSoil organic carbon (SOC) fashions soil structure, which is a key factor of soil fertility. Existing SOC content recommendations are based on SOC:clay ratio thresholds of >1:10. However, the corresponding SOC content might be considered hard to reach in clayey soils, whose structure degradation risk is assumed to be high. Here, we analysed the SOC content and soil structure quality of soils under similar cropping practices with clay contents ranging from 16% to 52%. Five undisturbed soil cores (5–10 cm layer) were collected from 96 fields at 58 farms in the Swiss Jura region. We assessed the soil structure quality visually using the CoreVESS method. Gravimetric air content and water content, and bulk density at −100 hPa were also measured, and the soil structure degradation index was calculated. We found that the relationship between SOC and clay content held over the clay content range, suggesting that reaching an acceptable SOC:clay ratio is not limited by large clay contents. This suggests that the 1:10 SOC:clay ratio may remain useful for clayey soils. In contrast to what was expected, it is not more challenging to reach this ratio in clayey soils even if it implies reaching very large SOC contents. SOC content explained the considered physical properties better than clay content. From a soil management point of view, these findings suggest that the soil texture determines a potential SOC content, while the SOC:clay ratio is determined by farming practices regardless of the clay content.
OBJECT‐ORIENTED ONTOLOGY AND THE OTHER OF WE IN ANTHROPOCENTRIC POSTHUMANISM
Authors: Hendlin Yogi Hale 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe object‐oriented ontology group of philosophies, and certain strands of posthumanism, overlook important ethical and biological differences, which make a difference. These allied intellectual movements, which have at times found broad popular appeal, attempt to weird life as a rebellion to the forced melting of lifeforms through the artefacts of capitalist realism. They truck, however, in a recursive solipsism resulting in ontological flattening, overlooking that things only show up to us according to our attunement to them. Ecology and biology tend to get lost in the celebration of “thingness,” which puts on par artifacts, trash, and living beings. Such abstractions fail to understand the political, ethical, and ontological implications of eliding the animate/nonanimate distinction, which from the opposite direction (of flattening) reproduce the same violences of historical colonialism (hierarchical humanism). I argue that ontological flattening entails epistemological narcissism, fails to take into account plural (interspecies) perspectives, and propose biosemiotics can address these shortcomings through becoming‐with nonhuman knowledge.
A singular Coxeter presentation
Authors: Elias Ben , Ko Hankyung 
Published: January 2023

AbstractWe enlarge a Coxeter group into a category, with one object for each finite parabolic subgroup, encoding the combinatorics of double cosets. This category, the singular Coxeter monoid, is connected to the geometry of partial flag varieties. Our main result is a presentation of this category by generators and relations. We also provide a new description of reduced expressions for double cosets. We describe all the braid relations between such reduced expressions, and prove an analogue of Matsumoto's theorem. This gives a proper development of ideas first introduced by Geordie Williamson. In type , we also equip the singular Coxeter monoid with a diagrammatic presentation using webs.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
To reveal the material removal mechanism of silicon carbide fiber reinforced silicon carbide ceramic matrix (SiCf/SiC) composites during the ultrasonic vibration helical grinding (UVHG) of hole-making process, a hole-making experiment of UVHG was conducted, and the contact behavior between a grain and different components in the SiCf/SiC was analyzed. The evaluation index of the hole wall quality Cw which comprehensively considers the overall level and local defects of surface quality was proposed, while the evaluation index of the hole exit quality Ce which comprehensively considers the area and depth of edge chipping was proposed too. The results show that the periodic changes of the fiber cutting angle θ will lead to different fracture mechanisms of the fibers and the interfaces, so the surface topography will change regularly. The brittle fracture of the matrixes under different process parameters is different, so the surface topography is different. The quality evaluation indexes Cw and Ce are highly reliable. Within the experimental parameters, selecting a smaller pitch, a smaller helical feed rate, and an appropriate ultrasonic amplitude can obtain better hole-making quality.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Current space engineering projects such as large space structure erection and spacecraft maintenance tasks require robots with space truss climbing capability. To adapt to the complex climbing environment, this paper developed a multi-branch reconfigurable robot suitable for space truss climbing by using a cellular space robot (CSR). In different climbing environments, the robot can switch between different motion modes by changing the modules’ states. Considering the kinematic modeling problem after module reconfiguration, this paper analyzes the kinematics of the CSR based on the screw theory and extends it to any multi-branch configuration. Meanwhile, for the problem that it is difficult to obtain the inverse kinematic analytical solution of the multi-branch robot climbing mode with planar continuous three-parallel joints, the kinematic analytical algorithm for different configurations is given by combining algebraic and geometric methods. Besides, a 3D truss climbing environment is built, and the kinematic characteristics of the robot joint drive force, working space, and motion energy consumption under different motion modes of the multi-branched robot are analyzed. The results indicate that the developed multi-branched robot has good 3D space truss climbing capability and provides a basis for selecting its working mode in orbit. This study can help to broaden the application field of CSRs in orbit.
Impact of Creep Effect on Hydraulic Fracture Long-Term Conductivity in Deep Shale Reservoirs

Published: January 2023

Abstract
The main factor contributing to the decline in effective fracture width and conductivity is proppant embedding into the fracture surface. In the deep shale's high-temperature, high-pressure, and high-stress environment, the rheological properties of rock cause proppant embedding to be deeper. Additionally, the effect of hydraulic fracture is difficult to maintain after fracturing, which causes a sharp decline in cumulative production. In this paper, the Hertz contact theory is used to establish a long-term fracture conductivity model that incorporates the two embedding behaviors of proppant elastic deformation and reservoir creep deformation. Through time integration, the variation of long-term fracture conductivity is obtained. The experimental data and the theoretical model agree well. The results show that long-term fracture conductivity gradually decreases as the proppant progresses from the elastic embedding stage to the creep embedding stage. The elastic modulus, viscoelastic coefficient, and particle size significantly impact on the fracture width. The rock's elastic modulus and viscoelastic coefficient have a negligible impact on the long-term fracture conductivity, which is positively correlated with sand concentration, proppant particle size, and elastic modulus. In this research, an accurate and effective analysis model is proposed to quantify the long-term fracture conductivity, reveal the hydraulic fracture closure mechanism of deep shale under high temperature and high stress, and provide technological solutions for long-term maintenance of high conductivity fracture channels, which is useful to increase deep shale production efficiency, lower the production decline rate, and extend the stable production cycle.
Effect of Base Angle of an Isosceles Trapezoidal Solar Air Heater Duct on Flow and Thermal Characteristics—A Numerical Investigation
Authors: Dara Rambabu , Muvvala Pullarao 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This paper reports the computational results of fluid flow and thermal characteristics in an isosceles trapezoidal solar air heater (SAH). By varying the base angle of the trapezoidal duct from 90 deg to 45 deg, six different models of solar air heater ducts are obtained. The six geometries of SAH ducts have cross sections of rectangular (90 deg), triangular (45 deg), and four isosceles trapezoidal (having base angles of 50 deg, 60 deg, 70 deg, and 80 deg) shapes. The solar radiation absorber plate width and the duct heights are maintained constant for all six models of SAH, i.e., 160 mm and 80 mm, respectively. The SAH is subjected to a constant and uniform heat flux value of 1000 W/m2 and Reynolds numbers varied from 5000 to 28,000. In all six cases, the size of the air heater is the same and having dimensions of 0.16 m width and 1 m length. For this investigation, a three-dimensional computational model has been developed and simulations are carried out using commercially available ansys fluent software. The numerical results are validated with the standard correlations and literature data, and a suitable model has been identified for the turbulence closure. A detailed analysis of the Nusselt number, temperature distribution over the SAH, and friction factor across the SAH duct is done. Empirical correlations for the estimation of heat transfer and friction factor have been developed as functions of the base angle of the duct and Reynolds number. An overall performance factor (λ) is adopted to get the combined effect of friction factor and Nusselt number with an intention to arrive at the optimum base angle of the SAH duct, and optimum geometry is identified. Based on the value of λ, it is concluded that the SAH duct with the highest base angle (90 deg) in this investigation, i.e., the rectangular duct, is the optimum among all the ducts considered in the study.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: Most women during their lifetime experience a combination of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms (eg, menstrual cramps) before and often to the end of menstruation. However, the impact of these symptoms on sport routines (eg, performance, training absence) during phases around menstruation is still unclear. Therefore, we investigated the impact of PMS symptoms on sport routines among nonelite athletes over 3 phases related to menstruation. Methods: An online questionnaire was developed to recruit nonelite female athletes who participate in summer Olympic sports. Participants were allocated into 2 groups: those who experienced mild to moderate PMS symptoms (no-PMS) and those with severe PMS symptoms (p-PMS). Two hundred thirty-four responses from eumenorrheic women (p-PMS = 78%) were considered valid. An unpaired Student t test was conducted to compare demographic characteristics between groups and chi-square test to evaluate the impact of PMS status on sport routines between groups. Results: A significant (P < .05) proportion of women in the p-PMS group changed their training schedule because of menstrual (55%) and premenstrual (61%) symptoms compared with the no-PMS group. Overall, all participants indicated that training (P = .01) and competitive (P < .01) performance are impacted during menstruation, followed by a greater impact (P < .05) in the p-PMS group before menstruation. Conclusion: The presence of PMS symptoms reduces training and competitive performance, primarily during and before menstruation, respectively. Severity of PMS symptoms was significantly associated with alterations in training schedule but not with competitive schedule.

Published: January 2023

Cell-free systems have enabled the development of genetically encoded biosensors to detect a range of environmental and biological targets. Encapsulation of these systems in synthetic membranes to form artificial cells can reintroduce features of the cellular membrane, including molecular containment and selective permeability, to modulate cell-free sensing capabilities. Here, we demonstrate robust and tunable performance of a transcriptionally regulated, cell-free riboswitch encapsulated in lipid membranes, allowing the detection of fluoride, an environmentally important molecule. Sensor response can be tuned by varying membrane composition, and encapsulation protects from sensor degradation, facilitating detection in real-world samples. These sensors can detect fluoride using two types of genetically encoded outputs, enabling detection of fluoride at the Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant level of 0.2 millimolars. This work demonstrates the capacity of bilayer membranes to confer tunable permeability to encapsulated, genetically encoded sensors and establishes the feasibility of artificial cell platforms to detect environmentally relevant small molecules.

ObjectivesTo determine if a newer design of total knee replacement (TKR) (Journey II BCS) produces superior patient-reported outcomes scores and biomechanical outcomes than the older, more established design (Genesis II).SettingPatients were recruited from an NHS University Hospital between July 2018 and October 2019 with surgery at two sites. Biomechanical and functional capacity measurements were at a University Movement and Exercise Laboratory.Participants80 participants undergoing single-stage TKR.InterventionsPatients were randomised to receive either the Journey II BCS (JII-BCS) or Genesis II TKR.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrimary outcome was the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), at 6 months. Secondary outcomes were: OKS Activity and Participation Questionnaire, EQ-5D-5L and UCLA Activity scores, Timed Up and Go Test, 6 min walk test, lower limb kinematics and lower limb muscle activity during walking and balance.ResultsThis study found no difference in the OKS between groups. The OKS scores for the JII-BCS and Genesis II groups were mean (SD) 42.97 (5.21) and 43.13 (5.20) respectively, adjusted effect size 0.35 (-2.01,2.71) p=0.771In secondary outcome measures, the Genesis II group demonstrated a significantly greater walking range-of-movement (50.62 (7.33) vs 46.07 (7.71) degrees, adjusted effect size, 3.14 (0.61,5.68) p=0.02) and higher peak knee flexion angular velocity during walking (mean (SD) 307.69 (38.96) vs 330.38 (41.40) degrees/second, adjusted effect size was 21.75 (4.54,38.96), p=0.01) and better postural control (smaller resultant centre of path length) during quiet standing than the JII-BCS group (mean (SD) 158.14 (65.40) vs 235.48 (176.94) mm, adjusted effect size, 59.91 (–105.98, –13.85) p=0.01.).ConclusionsIn this study population, the findings do not support the hypothesis that the Journey II BCS produces a better outcome than the Genesis II for the primary outcome of the OKS at 6 months after surgery.Trial registration numberISRCTN32315753.
