AbstractObjectivesTo comparatively evaluate the 6‐year outcomes of transcrestal and lateral sinus floor elevation (tSFE and lSFE, respectively).MethodsThe 54 patients representing the per‐protocol population of a randomized trial comparing implant placement with simultaneous tSFE versus lSFE at sites with a residual bone height of 3–6 mm were invited to participate in the 6‐year follow‐up visit. Study assessments included: peri‐implant marginal bone level at the mesial (mMBL) and distal (dMBL) aspects of the implant, proportion of the entire implant surface in direct contact with the radiopaque area (totCON%), probing depth, bleeding on probing, suppuration on probing, and modified plaque index. Also, the conditions of the peri‐implant tissues at 6‐year visit were diagnosed according to the case definitions of peri‐implant health, mucositis, and peri‐implantitis from the 2017 World Workshop.ResultsForty‐three patients (21 treated with tSFE and 22 treated with lSFE) participated in the 6‐year visit. Implant survival was 100%. At 6 years, totCON% was 96% (IR: 88%–100%) in tSFE group and 100% (IR: 98%–100%) in lSFE group (p = .036). No significant intergroup difference in patient distribution according to the diagnosis of peri‐implant health/disease was observed. Median dMBL was 0.3 mm in tSFE group and 0 mm in lSFE group (p = .024).ConclusionsAt 6 years following placement concomitantly with tSFE and lSFE, implants showed similar conditions of peri‐implant health. Peri‐implant bone support was high in both groups and was slightly but significantly lower in tSFE group.

AbstractObjectiveStereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)‐guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is increasingly being used as a treatment for drug‐resistant localization‐related epilepsy. The aim of this study is to analyze the successes and failures using RFA and how response correlates with surgical epilepsy treatment outcomes.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 62 patients who underwent RFA via SEEG electrodes. After excluding five, the remaining 57 were classified into subgroups based on procedures and outcomes. Forty patients (70%) underwent a secondary surgical procedure, of whom 32 were delayed: 26 laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), five resection, one neuromodulation. We determined the predictive value of RFA outcome upon subsequent surgical outcome by categorizing the delayed secondary surgery outcome as success (Engel I/II) versus failure (Engel III/IV). Demographic information, epilepsy characteristics, and the transient time of seizure freedom after RFA were calculated for each patient.ResultsTwelve of 49 patients (24.5%) who had RFA alone and delayed follow‐up achieved Engel class I. Of the 32 patients who underwent a delayed secondary surgical procedure, 15 achieved Engel class I and nine Engel class II (24 successes), and eight were considered failures (Engel class III/IV). The transient time of seizure freedom after RFA was significantly longer in the success group (4 months, SD = 2.6) as compared to the failure group (.75 months, SD = 1.16; p < .001). Additionally, there was a higher portion of preoperative lesional findings in patients in the RFA alone and delayed surgical success group (p = .03) and a longer time to seizure recurrence in the presence of lesions (p < .05). Side effects occurred in 1% of patients.SignificanceIn this series, RFA provided a treatment during SEEG‐guided intracranial monitoring that led to seizure freedom in ~25% of patients. Of the 70% who underwent delayed surgery, longer transient time of seizure freedom after RFA was predictive of the results of the secondary surgeries, 74% of which were LITT.
Frugivoria: A trait database for birds and mammals exhibiting frugivory across contiguous Neotropical moist forests

Published: June 2023

AbstractMotivationBiodiversity in many areas is rapidly declining because of global change. As such, there is an urgent need for new tools and strategies to help identify, monitor and conserve biodiversity hotspots. This is especially true for frugivores, species consuming fruit, because of their important role in seed dispersal and maintenance of forest structure and health. One way to identify these areas is by quantifying functional diversity, which measures the unique roles of species within a community and is valuable for conservation because of its relationship with ecosystem functioning. Unfortunately, the functional trait information required for these studies can be sparse for certain taxa and specific traits and difficult to harmonize across disparate data sources, especially in biodiversity hotspots. To help fill this need, we compiled Frugivoria, a trait database containing ecological, life‐history, morphological and geographical traits for mammals and birds exhibiting frugivory. Frugivoria encompasses species in contiguous moist montane forests and adjacent moist lowland forests of Central and South America—the latter specifically focusing on the Andean states. Compared with existing trait databases, Frugivoria harmonizes existing trait databases, adds new traits, extends traits originally only available for mammals to birds also and fills gaps in trait categories from other databases. Furthermore, we create a cross‐taxa subset of shared traits to aid in analysis of mammals and birds. In total, Frugivoria adds 8662 new trait values for mammals and 14,999 for birds and includes a total of 45,216 trait entries with only 11.37% being imputed. Frugivoria also contains an open workflow that harmonizes trait and taxonomic data from disparate sources and enables users to analyse traits in space. As such, this open‐access database, which aligns with FAIR data principles, fills a major knowledge gap, enabling more comprehensive trait‐based studies of species in this ecologically important region.Main Types of Variable ContainedEcological, life‐history, morphological and geographical traits.Spatial Location and GrainNeotropical countries (Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador, Belize, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Venezuela and Chile) with contiguous montane regions.Time Period and GrainIUCN spatial data: obtained February 2023, spanning range maps collated from 1998 to 2022.

Published: June 2023

AbstractIntroductionTo redress the scholarly preoccupation with gaps, issues, and problems in palliative care, this article extends previous findings on what constitutes brilliant palliative care to ask what brilliant nursing practices are supported and promoted.MethodsThis study involved the methodology of POSH‐VRE, which combines positive organisational scholarship in healthcare (POSH) with video‐reflexive ethnography (VRE). From August 2015 to May 2017, inclusive, nurses affiliated with a community health service who delivered palliative care, contributed to this study as co‐researchers (n = 4) or participants (n = 20). Patients who received palliative care (n = 30) and carers (n = 16) contributed as secondary participants, as they were part of observed instances of palliative care. With a particular focus on the practices and experiences that exceeded expectations and brought joy and delight, the study involved capturing video‐recordings of community‐based palliative care in situ; reflexively analysing the recordings with the nurses; as well as ethnography to witness, experience, and understand practices and experiences. Data were analysed, teleologically, to clarify what brilliant practices were supported and promoted.ResultsBrilliant community‐based palliative care nursing largely involved maintaining normality in patients’ and carers’ lives. The nurses demonstrated this by masking the clinical aspects of their role, normalising these aspects, and appreciating alternative ‘normals’.ConclusionRedressing the scholarly preoccupation with gaps, issues, and problems in palliative care, this article demonstrates how what is ordinary is extraordinary. Specifically, given the intrusiveness and abnormalising effects of technical clinical interventions, brilliant community‐based palliative care can be realised when nurses enact practices that serve to promote a patient or carer to normality.Patient or Public ContributionPatients and carers contributed to this study as participants, while nurses contributed to this study as co‐researchers in the conduct of the study, the analysis and interpretation of the data, and the preparation of the article.
Good CARMA: Turning bad tumor‐resident myeloid cells good with chimeric antigen receptor macrophages
Authors: Snyder Christopher M. , Gill Saar I. 
Published: June 2023

SummaryIn religious philosophy, the concept of karma represents the effect of one's past and present actions on one's future. Macrophages are highly plastic cells with myriad roles in health and disease. In the setting of cancer, macrophages are among the most plentiful members of the immune microenvironment where they generally support tumor growth and restrain antitumor immunity. However, macrophages are not necessarily born bad. Macrophages or their immediate progenitors, monocytes, are induced to traffic to the tumor microenvironment (TME) and during this process they are polarized toward a tumor‐promoting phenotype. Efforts to deplete or repolarize tumor‐associated macrophages (TAM) for therapeutic benefit in cancer have to date disappointed. By contrast, genetic engineering of macrophages followed by their transit into the TME may allow these impressionable cells to mend their ways. In this review, we summarize and discuss recent advances in the genetic engineering of macrophages for the treatment of cancer.
The earthquakes in Turkey and their effects on nursing and community health
Authors: Harmanci Seren Arzu Kader , Dikeç Gül 
Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundSevere damage was experienced in 10 provinces in Turkey, and the north of Syria, with the earthquakes that hit Kahramanmaraş at midnight and afternoon on February 6, 2023.AimThe authors aimed to give brief information to the international nursing community about the situation related to earthquakes in the aspects of nurses.ConclusionThese earthquakes caused traumatic processes in the affected regions. Many people, including nurses and other healthcare professionals, died or were injured. The results demonstrated that the required preparedness had not been applied. Nurses went to these areas voluntarily or on assignment and cared for individuals with injured. The universities in the country passed to distance education because of the shortage of safe places for victims. This situation also negatively influenced nursing education and clinical practice by interrupting in‐person education one more time after the COVID‐19 pandemic.Implications for nursing and nursing policySince the outcomes show a need for well‐organized health and nursing care, policymakers may consider getting nurses' contributions to the disaster preparedness and management policy‐making processes.
Viscous healing of Vickers indentation–induced cracks in glass
Authors: Blaeß Carsten , Müller Ralf 
Published: June 2023

AbstractViscous healing of cracks induced by the Vickers indentation in a soda lime magnesium silicate, a soda borosilicate, and a soda aluminosilicate glass (NAS) was studied by laser scanning microscopy. Plots of the crack length, width, and depth normalized to the initial crack length versus time over viscosity merge into single master curves of each of these quantities for each glass. Despite glass properties do not differ strikingly from each other, however, these master curves strongly differ among the glasses. This finding was attributed to a different interplay of various crack healing phenomena. Lateral cracks were found to be responsible for the bulging of the sample surface around the Vickers imprint, which in turn promotes radial crack widening as the main cause of healing delay. The most rapid healing of lateral cracks was observed in NAS in which bulging and crack widening were least pronounced.
Capacitive discharge in flash experiments: A discussion of the charged species

AbstractWe report on the discharge of the capacitance formed at the electrodes in flash experiments with yttria stabilized zirconia. The experiments were carried out by disconnecting the current, and, instead, short circuiting the electrodes through a resistor. The time dependent voltage across the resistor was measured; the ratio yielded the discharge current. The current decayed exponentially with time, as expected in an RC circuit, which allowed the measurement of the capacitance. Experiments were carried out in two ways. In one case the specimens were flashed within a glove box filled with Ar (< 1 ppm O2): these yielded electronic conductors. In the other case the specimens were flashed in ambient air: while electronically conducting in‐flash these specimens recover their prior insulating behavior as soon as the current is turned off. The stored charge was two orders of magnitude greater in the Ar experiments. Rather unexpectedly, the sign of the voltage expressed at the electrodes was opposite in experiments carried out in air and in Ar. The capacitance measured in the discharge experiments is attributed to the formation of space charge adjacent to the electrodes. In the case of Ar experiments, the capacitance is very large, approaching 1 F; in this case the space charge is expected to be constituted from ions. In the air experiments the specimen becomes insulating, trapping the electrons as a space charge. Hall effect measurements of the carrier density and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization of electronically conducting single crystal specimen of cubic zirconia are reported.

Published: June 2023

AbstractCurrently, Faraday isolators and rotators for high‐power lasers are popular research topics; therefore, finding magneto‐optical materials with excellent Verdet constants and thermal properties is crucial. In this study, novel holmium scandium aluminum garnet (HoSAG) magneto‐optical ceramics were fabricated using vacuum sintering. This study improved the traditional ball milling method and pre‐synthesized powders with great sinterability after secondary ball milling and sieving. Different pre‐synthesis temperatures were found to have significant effects on the particle size and micromorphology of the synthesized powders. HoSAG ceramics with 0.05 wt% MgO sintering aid and held at 1700°C for 30 h reached a transmittance of 76.7% at 1550 nm. Meanwhile, HoSAG transparent ceramics maintain higher transmittance in the infrared region (>1500 nm) than terbium gallium garnet (TGG) crystals, indicating better application prospects. The Verdet constants of HoSAG magneto‐optical ceramics at 405, 532, 808, and 1064 nm were −421.5, −181.2, −65, and −32.3 rad T−1 m−1, respectively, which are slightly less than those of TGG magneto‐optical ceramics. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of HoSAG ceramics at 300.00 K was 4.89 W m−1 K−1, which is comparable to that of the TGG ceramics.
Perceived sexualization of the work environment's influence on well‐being, attitudes, and behaviors: The roles of organizational dehumanization and enjoyment of sexualization
Authors: Demoulin Stephanie , Brison Noémie , Stinglhamber Florence 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe present research investigates whether employees' perceptions of being dehumanized by their organization act as an underlying mechanism in the relationship between sexualized work environments (SWE) and their detrimental consequences. The research also examines the moderating role of enjoyment of sexualization (ES) in the relationship between SWE and organizational dehumanization (OD). First, a cross‐sectional study (N = 350) showed that SWE positively relate to OD which, in turn, negatively affects employees' well‐being (i.e., increased emotional exhaustion, increased psychological strains), attitudes (i.e., decreased job satisfaction), and behaviors at work (i.e., increased turnover intentions). A second study (N = 433) replicated these findings and further revealed the moderating role of employees' ES. Specifically, the relationship between SWE and OD proved to be stronger at lower levels of ES. Finally, additional exploratory analyses highlighted that the moderating role of ES was not conditional upon employees' gender. Theoretical contributions and promising avenues for future research as well as are discussed.

Abstract
Contact zones provide important insights into the evolutionary processes that underlie lineage divergence and speciation. Here, we use a contact zone to ascertain speciation potential in the red-eyed treefrog (Agalychnis callidryas), a brightly coloured and polymorphic frog that exhibits unusually high levels of intraspecific variation. Populations of A. callidryas differ in a number of traits, several of which are known sexual signals that mediate premating reproductive isolation in allopatric populations. Along the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, a ~100 km contact zone, situated between two phenotypically and genetically divergent parent populations, contains multiple colour pattern phenotypes and late-generation hybrids. This contact zone provides the opportunity to examine processes that are important in the earliest stages of lineage divergence. We performed analyses of colour pattern variation in five contact zone sites and six parental sites and found complex, continuous colour variation along the contact zone. We found discordance between the geographic distribution of colour pattern and previously described genomic population structure. We then used a parental site and contact zone site to measure assortative mating and directional selection from naturally-occurring amplectant mating pairs. We found assortative mating in a parental population, but no assortative mating in the contact zone. Furthermore, we uncovered evidence of directional preference towards the adjacent parental phenotype in the contact zone population, but no directional preference in the parent population. Combined, these data provide insights into potential dynamics at the contact zone borders and indicate that incipient speciation between parent populations will be slowed.
Abstract
Agalychnis callidryas exhibit both high intraspecific color pattern variation and assortative mating between different populations. A new analysis of both color pattern and mating behaviors in a contact zone of A. callidryas (rather than previously studied monotypic populations) found that the contact zone exhibits continuous color variation, as well as a breakdown of the assortative mating found in parental populations. Instead, there is evidence for directional selection towards a specific male color pattern.

Published: June 2023

AbstractMortality rates of marine fish larvae are incredibly high and can determine year‐class strength. The major causes of larval mortality are predation and starvation, and the performance of larvae in survival skills that can mitigate this mortality (predator evasion, foraging) varies among individuals and cohorts, but the causes of the variation are not known. Transcriptomics can link gene expression variation to phenotypic variation at the whole‐system level to investigate the molecular basis of behavioural variation. We used tag‐based RNA‐sequencing to examine the molecular basis of variation in predator evasion and routine swimming (trait related to foraging efficiency) in the larval red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus. We looked for functional gene networks in which interindividual variation would explain variation in larval behavioural performance. We identified co‐expressed gene groups (“modules”) associated with predator evasion traits and found enrichment of motor, neural and energy metabolism pathways. These functional associations and pattern of correlations between modules and traits suggest that energy availability and allocation were responsible for the magnitude of startle responses, while differential neural and motor activation were associated with differences in response latency.
Current and future treatment for alcoholic‐related liver diseases
Authors: Yoon Eileen L. , Kim Won 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe socioeconomic burden of alcohol‐related liver disease has been increasing worldwide. Its prevalence is underestimated, and patients with alcohol‐related liver disease are rarely diagnosed in the earlier phase of the disease spectrum. Alcoholic hepatitis is a distinct syndrome with life‐threatening signs of systemic inflammation. In severe alcoholic hepatitis, prednisolone is indicated as the first‐line treatment even with the possibility of various complications. Early liver transplantation can be another option for highly selected patients with a null response to prednisolone. Most importantly, abstinence is the mainstay of long‐term care, but relapse is frequent among patients. Recent findings on the pathogenesis of alcoholic hepatitis have enabled us to discover new therapeutic targets. Preventing hepatic inflammation, reducing oxidative stress, improving gut dysbiosis, and enhancing liver regeneration are the main targets of emerging therapies. Herein, we review the pathogenesis, current treatment, and barriers to successful clinical trials of alcoholic hepatitis. Additionally, clinical trials for alcoholic hepatitis, either ongoing or recently completed, will be briefly introduced.
