The lived experience of adolescent depression: A systematic review and meta‐aggregation
Authors: Twivy Eve , Kirkham Miriam , Cooper Myra 
Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe under‐detection of depression in adolescents suggests that a better understanding of its presentation may be needed. Conceptualizations of adolescent depression are largely the same as adult depression, with minimal consideration of developmental stage. Exploration of first‐hand accounts could help to identify any unique features of adolescent depression. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to understand the lived experience of adolescents with depression to inform clinical practice.MethodsThe review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020198141). Databases (PsychINFO, CINAL, MEDLINE and EMBASE) were searched in March 2022 to identify peer‐reviewed qualitative studies on first‐hand experiences of adolescent depression. The Joanna Briggs Institute's qualitative data extraction tool and checklist for qualitative research were used to obtain study data and assess methodological quality of included papers. Meta‐aggregation was the method of synthesis, whereby extracted themes from the papers were grouped according to shared meanings.ResultsFifteen papers of mixed methodological quality were identified for inclusion from screening a total of 1,983 references. Studies were published between 2002 and 2021, spanned seven countries and included participants aged 11 to 22 years old. Aggregation of 56 themes resulted in 16 categories and 3 synthesized findings encompassing key aspects of adolescent depression: causes, symptoms and coping. Variability in adolescents' perspectives across these domains was evident. Some symptoms described, such as social disconnection and anger, are not listed in existing diagnostic criteria.ConclusionsSubjective experiences of depression among adolescents vary and may not entirely match diagnostic criteria. Awareness of this when assessing for depression may improve detection and help to ensure adolescents feel understood.

AbstractFinding a robust catalytic system for hydrogen production via dry reforming of methane (DRM) remains a challenge. Herein, MNi0.9Zr1−xYxO3 (M = Ce, La, and La0.6Ce0.4; x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09) catalyst was prepared by the sol–gel method, tested for DRM and characterized by surface area and porosity, X‐ray diffraction, H2‐temperature programmed reduction, thermogravimetry, and transmission electron microscopy. In La0.6Ce0.4NiO3 catalyst, the substitution of Ni by 0.1% Zr results in a constant high catalytic activity (83% hydrogen yield at 800°C) due to the presence of reducible “NiO‐species interacted strongly with the support” (stable metallic Ni over reduced catalyst) and redox input by ceria phase for laying instant lattice oxygen during lag‐off period of CO2. Substitution of Ni by Zr and Y in the CeNiO3 catalyst system nurtures Ni3Y (providing highly stable metallic Ni for CH4 decomposition) and cerium yttrium oxide phases (providing strong redox input). CeNi0.9Zr0.01Y0.09O3 shows 85% H2 yield at 800°C.
Thermodynamic analysis of a bifacial PV/T‐driven ejector cooling and electrodialysis system for off‐grid sustainable climate refuge in hot‐arid climates
Authors: Niaz Fariha , Bicer Yusuf 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn hot‐arid climatic regions like Qatar, it is important to facilitate pedestrians' journeys. One way to do so is by providing them with shelters, that is, from a station to their destination building. It is necessary for such shelters to provide on‐site space cooling and freshwater in an off‐grid condition. In this respect, the proposed off‐grid system in this study includes bifacial photovoltaic (BPV) and a solar thermal collector for energy generation with battery and thermal storage units. BPV with an efficiency of 16% can produce power up to about 6.1 kW on the rooftop, which also reduces the cooling load via effective shading. The ejector‐based cooling system is deployed for efficient space cooling in high ambient temperatures (more than 28°C), while for less than 28°C, both fan and water misting systems are operated for the comfort of pedestrians. Finally, an electrodialysis system is integrated to generate freshwater from seawater to be used for drinking and water misting purposes in the off‐grid sustainable shelter. The overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the system are calculated to be 13.2% and 5.29%, respectively. The effects of several parameters are also studied to observe the overall system efficiency and the energy generated and consumed by the system.

Published: January 2023

AbstractObjectiveTo characterize the length of the second stage of labor among women completing a first vaginal birth after a cesarean (VBAC), according to the stage of labor during primary cesarean delivery (CD).MethodsA retrospective cohort study of VBACs between 2011 and 2020. Study groups were divided as follows: CD not in labor, CD in the first stage of labor, and CD in the second stage of labor. The primary outcome was the length of the second stage.ResultsA total of 1310 VBACs were included. The timing of the primary CD was not associated with the duration of the second stage. The median second stage of duration of VBACs with previous first stage CD versus previous CD not in labor was 81 versus 106 min, respectively (P = 0.050). In multivariable linear regression, maternal age, birth weight, and epidural were independently associated with second‐stage length. Maternal and neonatal outcomes did not differ between study groups and were not affected by the second‐stage length.ConclusionWhen stratified according to the labor stage of the primary CD, second‐stage duration among women completing VBACs was not associated with labor stage at the primary CD. Extremes of the second‐stage duration were not associated with increased morbidity.

AbstractWe compared the effects of different “mastery” criteria and doses on the acquisition and maintenance of sight words for 4 second graders with and without disabilities. First, we replicated Set Analysis and Operant Analysis conditions where participants were taught sight words in 20‐trial (4 operants, 5 opportunities) sessions. Acquisition criteria were applied to a set of 4 operants or to individual operants, respectively. Second, we extended the literature by evaluating a lower dose of the Operant Analysis condition in a 12‐trial session (4 operants, 3 opportunities). Thus, we compared 3 conditions—Set Analysis 5, Operant Analysis 5, and Operant Analysis 3. All participants acquired novel sight words fastest and required far fewer teaching trials to maintain each sight word under Operant Analysis 3 compared with Set Analysis 5 and Operant Analysis 5 conditions. Implications for arranging acquisition criteria and the interaction with trial‐dosages are discussed.

AbstractBACKGROUNDChicken feather (CF), pig bristle (PB), and pig hoof (PH) are substantial keratin wastes from slaughterhouses. They are generated in large quantity, are almost totally unexploited protein resources, and are potential substrates for value‐added products.RESULTSIn this study, Thermoactinomyces vulgaris TK1‐21 showed a good ability to produce keratinases for the degradation of all three keratin wastes within 5 days at pH 8.5 and 45 °C. Maximum keratinase activities of 5.72, 4.21, and 4.89 U mL−1 were obtained for CF, PB, and PH, respectively. T. vulgaris TK1‐21 secreted two types of extracellular enzymes (keratinase_TK1‐21), which were purified and characterized as thermitase (keratinase‐I) and carboxypeptidase T (keratinase‐II) with estimated molecular weights of 28 and 36 kDa, respectively. Dialyzed crude keratinase_TK1‐21 could efficiently hydrolyze the hydrothermally treated CF, PB, and PH into keratin hydrolysate (KH). Soluble protein concentrations of 6.94, 3.87, and 6.32 mg mL−1 were obtained at pH 9.0, 55 °C, and 72 h, which were three times higher than those of untreated substrates. In addition, this hydrothermal–enzymatic method showed high KH productivity (60–70%) with a production cost of 16.24 USD kg−1. The ferric‐reducing antioxidant power assay and radical scavenging activities of KH derived from CF, PB, and PH were 19–42, 2.5–4.9, and 608–1314 μmol TE gprotein−1. Bioplastic starch blended with these KHs showed improved tensile strength (2.55–4.40 MPa) and elongation at break (40–54%) when compared to bioplastics without KH blending.CONCLUSIONSBased on our results, we suggest an alternative valorization approach with techno‐economic feasibility for keratin waste bioconversion into a potential active ingredient for bioplastics via hydrothermal–enzymatic processing. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundSkeletal muscle wasting is a determinant of physical disability in survivors of critical illness. Intramuscular bioenergetic failure, altered substrate metabolim, and inflammation are likely underpinning mechanisms. We examined the effect of pioglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor γ agonist, on muscle‐related outcomes in adults.MethodsWe included randomized controlled trials in which pioglitazone was administered (no dose/dosage restrictions) and muscle‐related outcomes were reported. We searched MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, CINAHL, and trial registries. Risk of bias was assessed using RoB 2. Primary outcomes were physical function and symptoms, muscle mass and function, or body composition and muscular compositional change. Secondary outcomes included muscle insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial effects, and intramuscular inflammation.ResultsFourteen studies over 19 publications (n = 474 patients) were included. Lean body mass was unaffected in three studies (n = 126) and increased by 1.8–1.92 kg in two studies (P = 0.02 and 0.003, respectively; n = 48). Pioglitazone was associated with increased peripheral insulin sensitivity (+23%–72%, standardized mean difference of 0.97 from trial start point to end point [95% CI, 0.36–1.58; n = 213]). Treatment reduced intramuscular tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) levels (−30%; P = 0.02; n = 29), with mixed effects on serum TNF‐α and intramyocellular lipid concentrations. Treatment increased intramuscular markers of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) biosynthesis (ATP5A [+33%, P ≤ 0.05], ETFA [+60%, P ≤ 0.05], and CX6B1 [+ 33%, P = 0.01] [n = 24]), PGC1α and PGC1β messenger RNA expression (P < 0.05; n = 26), and AMPK phosphorylation (+38%, P < 0.05; n = 26). These data have low‐quality evidence profiles owing to risk of bias.ConclusionsPioglitazone therapy increases skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity and can decrease intramuscular inflammation.

AbstractThere is no agreement whether prophylactic thoracic duct ligation (TDL), with or without resection, during esophagectomy for patients with cancer is beneficial. The effects of these procedures on postoperative complications and overall survival remain unclear. This systematic review included 16 articles. TDL did not influence short‐ and long‐term outcomes. However, thoracic duct resection increased postoperative chylothorax and overall complications, with no improvement in survival.

AbstractBackgroundMalignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is a frequent complication in advanced cancer patients and especially those with abdominal tumors. The clinical management of MBO requires a specific and individualized approach based on the disease prognosis. Surgery is recommended. Less invasive approaches such as endoscopic treatments should be considered when surgery is contraindicated. The priority of care for inoperable and consolidated MBO is to control the symptoms and promote the maximum level of comfort.ObjectivesThis study aimed to develop recommendations for the effective management of MBO.MethodsA questionnaire was administered to all members of the Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology, of whom 41 surgeons participated in the survey. A literature review of studies retrieved from the National Library of Medicine database was conducted on particular topics chosen by the participants. These topics addressed questions regarding the MBO management, to define the level of evidence and strength of each recommendation, and an adapted version of the Infectious Diseases Society of America Health Service rating system was used.ResultsMost aspects of the medical approach and management strategies reviewed were strongly recommended by the participants.ConclusionsGuidelines outlining the strategies for management MBO were developed based on the strongest evidence available in the literature.

AbstractA 3‐month‐old boy with pre‐existent atopic dermatitis presented erythroderma and an agitated state shortly after immersion in bath water containing wood ash. Acute irritant dermatitis leading to erythroderma caused by wet ashes is uncommon. The use of alternative remedies for children with atopic dermatitis is discouraged because of potential severe irritation.
Effect of tree species and substrate properties on organic phosphorus forms in afforested Technosols

Published: January 2023

AbstractPlanted vegetation is considered one of the most important soil‐forming factors in the reclamation of degraded post‐mining lands for forestry. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of N‐fixing tree species and non‐N‐fixing tree species on the organic phosphorus (Porg) forms in technosols developing from various substrates. Samples were taken from the uppermost layer (depth 0–5 cm) of technosols afforested with black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), black alder (Alnus glutinosa), silver birch (Betula pendula), and scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). Samples of the tree foliage and the O‐horizons were taken as well. The studied technosols developed from Quaternary sands (sands), fly ashes after lignite combustion (ashes), and Miocene clays (clays). The soil samples were measured for the contents of labile (POlab) and moderately labile organic phosphorus (POmod), phosphorus contained in fulvic and humic acids (Pfulv and Phum, respectively), and residual organic phosphorus (POres). The foliage and O‐horizon samples were measured for the concentrations of C, N, and P. The N‐fixing tree species had higher P concentration in their foliage than non‐N‐fixing tree species. However, in the O‐horizon, the highest P concentration was determined under birch and not under N‐fixers. The effect of tree species on the organic P (Porg) concentrations in the mineral soil was limited with significantly lower Porg concentrations under pine. The soil under this species contained less Pfulv, Phum, and POres. However, the percentages of POlab, POmod, Pfulv, Phum, and POres in soil Porg were nearly the same under all tree species. The largest effect on the Porg concentration and the contents of particular Porg fractions was from the substrate type. Sands contained much less Porg than the clays and ashes, but their percentage of POlab in Porg was much higher than in the two other substrates. We conclude that N‐fixing trees do not affect the concentration of labile organic P, and the major factor controlling this Porg fraction is the soil substrate quality.

Published: January 2023

SummaryThe classification of network traffic, which involves classifying and identifying the type of network traffic, is the most fundamental step to network service improvement and modern network management. Classic machine learning and deep learning methods have widely adopted in the field of network traffic classification. However, there are two major challenges in practice. One is the user privacy concern in cross‐domain traffic data sharing for the purpose of training a global classification model, and the other is the difficulty to obtain large amount of labeled data for training. In this paper, we propose a novel approach using federated semi‐supervised learning for network traffic classification, in which the federated server and clients from different domains work together to train a global classification model. Among them, unlabeled data are used on the client side, and labeled data are used on the server side. The experimental results derived from a public dataset show that the accuracy of the proposed approach can reach 97.81%, and the accuracy gap between the federated learning approach and the centralized training method is minimal.
Hyperinsulinemia is a probable trigger for weight gain and hyperphagia in individuals with Prader‐Willi syndrome

AbstractObjectivePrader‐Willi syndrome (PWS) is the most frequently diagnosed genetic cause of early childhood obesity. Individuals with PWS typically progress through 7 different nutritional phases during their lifetime. The main objective of this study was to assess potential factors, particularly insulin, that may be responsible for the weight gains in sub‐phase 2a and their role in the subsequent increase in fat mass and obesity in sub‐phase 2b and insatiable appetite in phase 3.MethodsFasting plasma insulin levels were measured in children with PWS between the ages of 0–12 years and in age‐matched non‐PWS participants with early‐onset major (clinically severe) obesity (EMO) and in healthy‐weight sibling controls (SC).ResultsParticipants with PWS in nutritional phases 1a and 1b had plasma insulin levels comparable to SC. However, the transition from phase 1b up to phase 3 in the PWS group was accompanied by significant increases in insulin, coinciding in weight gains, obesity, and hyperphagia. Only individuals with PWS in phase 3 had comparable insulin levels to the EMO group who were higher than the SC group at any age.ConclusionsElevated insulin signaling is a probable trigger for weight gain and onset of hyperphagia in children with Prader‐Willi syndrome. Regulating insulin levels early in childhood before the onset of the early weight gain may be key in modulating the onset and severity of obesity and hyperphagia in individuals with PWS, as well as in other young children with non‐PWS early‐onset obesity. Preventing or reversing elevated insulin levels in PWS with pharmacological agents and/or through diet restrictions such as a combined low carbohydrate, low glycemic‐load diet may be a viable therapeutic strategy in combating obesity in children with PWS and others with early childhood obesity.
