“It’s not you, it’s me”: identity disturbance as the main contributor to interpersonal problems in pathological narcissism
Authors: Biberdzic Marko , Tan Junhao , Day Nicholas J. S. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundCore impairments in self and other functioning typify individuals with personality disorder. While interpersonal dysfunction is a known element of narcissistic disorders, empirical research investigating intrapersonal elements is lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the internal representations of individuals with grandiose and vulnerable features, as manifested through their attachment styles, and the specific role of identity disturbance in explaining the relationship between pathological narcissism and maladaptive interpersonal functioning.MethodsA sample of 270 university students completed the Brief Pathological Narcissism Inventory (B-PNI), the Severity Indices of Personality Problems (SIPP), the Relationship Questionnaire (RQ), and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-32).ResultsBoth vulnerable and grandiose narcissism were positively associated with both fearful and preoccupied attachment, and negatively associated with secure attachment, whilst grandiose narcissism was also positively associated with dismissive attachment. Furthermore, unstable representations of self, poor self-reflective functioning, and low sense of purpose fully mediated the relationship between interpersonal problems and grandiose narcissism while partially mediating the relationship between interpersonal problems and vulnerable narcissism.ConclusionsOverall, our findings suggest that for individuals presenting with narcissistic features, capacity for adaptive interpersonal functioning is grounded by deficits in identity integration. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract
Background
Combined basilar subsegmentectomy via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is an extremely complex surgery. Moreover, no the existing reports describe the procedure and technique. Here, we present the technique of combined basilar subsegmentectomy that was successfully performed via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to treat intralobar pulmonary sequestration in an adult patient.

Case presentation
A 57-year-old man underwent surgery for oropharyngeal carcinoma. Preoperative computed tomography showed several cystic lesions in the right lower lobe. Subsequent enhanced computed tomography revealed an anomalous artery branching from the abdominal aorta and a normal pulmonary vein. The patient with diagnosed with Pryce type III intralobar pulmonary sequestration and underwent right S7 posterior + 10bc combined basilar segmentectomy via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged 4 days after surgery. At the 8-month follow-up, computed tomography showed no abnormalities.

Conclusions
We successfully performed combined basilar subsegmentectomy via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. This surgical approach is useful for the treatment of intralobar pulmonary sequestration occurring at the basal segment of the lung.

AbstractBackgroundThis study explores the possibility of using infrared thermography to estimate the onset of parturition in sows. Infrared camera (IRC) and infrared laser thermometer (IRT) were used to obtain the auricular skin temperature of sows along with rectal temperatures, from approximately one week before the anticipated farrowing until 24 h post-partum. Three commercial piglet producing farms were included in the study.ResultsThere were large variations in observed auricular skin temperature, both by IRC and IRT per time point. Graphical exploration of the observed auricular skin temperature measured by the two methods showed the same parallel patterns, although temperatures measured by IRC were higher at any time point compared to IRT. Auricular skin thermography revealed a clear increase in temperatures before farrowing. Statistical analyses, adjusting for differences between farms, sow activity and respiration rate, confirmed this increase. When controlling for these variables, and comparing the baseline temperatures to temperatures at farrowing, the difference was 3.9 and 4.1 °C measured with IRT and IRC, respectively. The greatest increase, of more than 2 °C, was found between 16 and 8 h and 8 to 4 h before farrowing. Rectal temperature increased by 0.5 °C in the same time interval and reached a temperature peak after farrowing.ConclusionSows showed a more than 2 °C increase in auricular skin temperature, measured by either IRC or IRT, 8 to16 hours before the first piglet was born. Hence, monitoring auricular skin temperatures of sows using infrared thermography one week before expected farrowing may provide a baseline temperature for each sow from which a sudden rise is indicative of parturition in the following 8 to 16 h. This may lead to more efficient allocation of human assistance during farrowing time and thereby improve farrowing management and the welfare of sows and their offspring.

AbstractDespite blockchain’s potential to transform corporations by providing new ways of organizing business processes and handling information, extant research pays inadequate attention to how and under what conditions blockchain technology provides additional financial value for shareholders. Drawing on the efficient market hypothesis and signaling theory, we examined the relationship between firms’ blockchain use, development announcements, and stock market reactions. We used the event study methodology to analyze a sample of blockchain projects initiated by US firms between 2016 and 2019. The sample contains 114 firm-event observations. The findings show that the average abnormal return over a 2 days event period (including the day of the announcement and the day after the announcement) was positive. This positive stock market reaction is even more substantial when firms announce blockchain projects that focus on saving cost or time. Our findings also indicate that blockchain announcements tend to elicit more positive market reactions from smaller firms. We analyzed 249 firm-event observations containing firms from around the world and conclude that blockchain technology has a non-significant long-term impact on operating performance. The contingency approach adopted in our research provides advice for selecting the right mix of blockchain investment initiatives that is most suitable for a given organizational context.
The association between carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of human hair and hypertension
Authors: Ahn Song Vogue , Park Jong-Ku 
Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe relationship between stable isotope ratios and dietary protein sources has been reported. However, few studies have examined the effect of stable isotope ratios on metabolic risk in humans. We investigated whether the stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in human hair are associated with blood pressure and hypertension.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of 392 subjects (228 men and 164 women). Hair samples of the subjects were used for the measurement of stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N).ResultsThe δ13C and δ15N values showed positive correlations with diastolic blood pressure in the subjects without antihypertensive medication. In the subjects without antihypertensive medication, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for hypertension was 1.55 (1.04–2.30) per 1‰ increase in δ15N and 1.22 (0.86–1.73) per 1‰ increase in δ13C, respectively. However, in the subjects with antihypertensive medication, neither δ13C nor δ15N values showed a significant association with hypertension.ConclusionsThe stable isotopic ratio of nitrogen in scalp hair is independently associated with hypertension in subjects without antihypertensive medication. The hair δ15N value might be used as a surrogate marker to screen a high-risk population for hypertension.

Authors: Lip Gregory Y. H. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) patients are often high risk being elderly and having multiple comorbidities. Many risk factors are established to be associated with new onset incident AF, as well as AF-related complications such as stroke and hospitalisations. Multimorbidity AF patients are high risk and require a holistic approach to care, which should be proactively managing with an integrated care or holistic approach as per the ABC (atrial fibrillation better care) pathway.
Effect of thermal fluctuations on homogeneous compressible turbulence
Authors: Ma Qihan , Yang Chunxin , Chen Song , Feng Kaikai , Zhang Jun 
Published: February 2023

AbstractFor more than a century, it has been widely believed that there is a clear gap between molecular motions at the microscopic level and turbulent fluctuations at the macroscopic level. However, recent studies have demonstrated that the thermal fluctuations resulted from molecular motions have nonnegligible effects on the dissipation range of turbulence. To further clarify the reviving debate on this topic, we employ the molecular-level direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method to simulate homogeneous turbulence with different turbulent Mach numbers, extending the previous studies by considering the effect of compressibility. Our results show that, for both one-dimensional (1D) stationary turbulence and two-dimensional (2D) decaying isotropic turbulence, the turbulent energy spectra are significantly changed due to thermal fluctuations below the spatial scale comparable to the turbulent dissipation length scale. The energy spectra caused by thermal fluctuations for different spatial dimensionsdpresent different scaling laws of the wavenumberkas$${{k}^{(d-1)}}$$k(d-1). For 2D cases, we show that the effect of thermal fluctuations on the spectrum of compressible velocity component is greatly affected by the change of compressibility. The 2D spectra of density, temperature and pressure are also obtained, showing the same scaling law at large wavenumbers as found for the energy spectra. Moreover, it is found that the effects of thermal fluctuations on the thermodynamic spectra are the same as those on the spectra of compressible velocity component.

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe Penicillia are known to produce a wide range natural products—some with devastating outcome for the agricultural industry and others with unexploited potential in different applications. However, a large-scale overview of the biosynthetic potential of different species has been lacking. In this study, we sequenced 93 Penicillium isolates and, together with eleven published genomes that hold similar assembly characteristics, we established a species phylogeny as well as defining a Penicillium pangenome. A total of 5612 genes were shared between ≥ 98 isolates corresponding to approximately half of the average number of genes a Penicillium genome holds. We further identified 15 lateral gene transfer events that have occurred in this collection of Penicillium isolates, which might have played an important role, such as niche adaption, in the evolution of these fungi. The comprehensive characterization of the genomic diversity in the Penicillium genus supersedes single-reference genomes, which do not necessarily capture the entire genetic variation.

Real effective exchange rate misalignment and currency crisis in Iran
Authors: Hassanzadeh Mohammad , Mousavi Shahla 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis study aimed to examine real effective exchange rate (REER) misalignment in Iran and its relation to the currency crisis. The behavioral equilibrium exchange rate was employed to calculate the equilibrium exchange rate (EER), and misalignment was obtained using the exchange rate deviation from the equilibrium value. Using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method and data from 1986 to 2019, the long-run relationship between macroeconomic fundamentals and REER was estimated. The results show that trade openness, rate of productivity growth in tradable good production, net foreign assets of the central bank, oil exports, and terms of trade significantly affected the EER. Estimation of misalignment and its relationship with the currency crisis show that in the years before the crisis, there was generally a significant overvaluation in several consecutive years; hence, exchange rate misalignment serves as a leading index to predict the probability of a currency crisis.
A systematic review of compositional analysis studies examining the associations between sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity with health indicators in early childhood
Authors: Zahran Samah , Visser Carson , Ross-White Amanda , Janssen Ian 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Background
This systematic review examined if the composition of time spent in sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity of different intensities is associated with health and developmental indicators in children aged 0–5 years.

Methods
Four electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and SPORTDiscus) were searched in January 2022. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they were peer-reviewed, the average age of participants was < 6 years, and compositional data analysis was used to examine the associations between the composition of time spent in movement behaviours and health and developmental indicators.

Results
Eight studies (7 cross-sectional, 1 prospective cohort) of < 2070 unique participants were included. Only a single study included children < 3 years old and 37% of the associations examined in the literature were based on indicators of body composition. The 24-h movement behaviour composition was associated with mental health indicators (3 of 4 associations examined in the literature), motor skills and development (6 of 7 associations), and physical fitness (3 of 3 associations). Reallocating time from light physical activity into moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was favourable for motor skills and development. Reallocating time from light physical activity into sleep was unfavourable for mental health. Reallocating time from light physical activity into sedentary behaviour or sleep was favourable for motor skills and development.

Conclusions
This review provides some evidence that the composition of movement behaviours is important for the health of young children. Future research should consider including infants and toddlers, larger sample size, and measures of health and development other than body composition. (PROSPERO registration no.: CRD42022298370.)
Factors affecting access to health services by older adults in an urban community in Thailand: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Jirathananuwat Areeya 
Published: February 2023

Background: The impending rapid change in Thailand’s older population has many important implications for health policy, especially older adults’ health problems, which are major cause of them accessing health services. This study aimed to study factors affecting access to health services for older adults in urban communities in Thailand, as well as performing a situational survey of health service utilization. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 886 older adults from four different neighborhoods (slum, city, suburban, and community building). Data were collected using an interview questionnaire. Information about health service variables were extracted and followed the five dimensions of accessibility by Penchansky & Thomas: availability, accessibility, accommodation, affordability and acceptability. Data were analyzed using percentage mean and standard deviation (SD). Analysis of factors affecting access to health service was performed using Logistic regression. Results: The utilization of health services was high among five dimensions. There is no significant difference among other dimensions statistically from all neighborhoods. Only the acceptability dimension with notable difference (p=0.003), city neighborhood has the lowest acceptability dimension (mean 4.0, SD.=0.62), while community building has the highest one (mean 4.3, SD.=0.55). Factors affecting older adults access to health services were using health insurance rights for health care service, and concern about the necessity of health care. Conclusions: Encouraging older adults to change their health insurance rights to the nearest hospital and promoting the provision of holistic health information, which will support older adults in accessing more health services to improve their health outcomes.

Published: February 2023

Background: Machine learning and AI promise to revolutionize the way we leverage medical imaging data for improving care but require large datasets to train computational models that can be implemented in clinical practice. However, processing large and complex medical imaging datasets remains an open challenge. Methods: To address this issue, we developed Med-ImageTools, a new Python open-source software package to automate data curation and processing while allowing researchers to share their data processing configurations more easily, lowering the barrier for other researchers to reproduce published works. Use cases: We have demonstrated the efficiency of Med-ImageTools across three different datasets, resulting in significantly reduced processing times. Conclusions: The AutoPipeline feature will improve the accessibility of raw clinical datasets on public archives, such as the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA), the largest public repository of cancer imaging, allowing machine learning researchers to process analysis-ready formats without requiring deep domain knowledge.

Introduction
Nitroxoline (NTX) is a well-known chemotherapeutic agent that has been used to treat urinary tract infections since the 1960s. Today, the incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains is on the rise worldwide. This has resulted in repurposing, whereby during the ongoing research on nitroxoline, the possibility of its wide use has been demonstrated, not only in treatment against resistant pathogens, but also potential broad anti-cancer applications.
Aim of the study
The purpose of our work was to review scientific articles and show the multi-potential - anti-pathogenic and anti-tumor use of nitroxoline.
Methods and materials
We reviewed the English-language literature in the PubMed database, using the key words: „Nitroxoline”, „Nitroxoline cancer”, „Nitroxoline antibacterial use”

Results
Analysis of studies has shown that nitroxoline, currently used in benign urinary tract infections, is also applicable in the treatment of urinary tract infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MRD). It is also active against drug-resistant fungi and mycobacteria. Repurposing has also demonstrated the anticancer effects of nitroxoline through inhibition proliferation, induction apoptosis of tumor cells and other mechanisms, making it likely that nitroxoline will be used in cancer treatment regimens in the future.
Conclusion
Nitroxoline has found widespread use in the treatment of urinary tract infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MRD) and by strains of resistant fungi, which in today's world are spreading and increasing their drug resistance. Repurposing has shown promising anticancer activity of nitroxoline in the treatment of urinary tract cancers and more. The data supporting the effects of nitroxoline seem promising, suggesting the rationale for future clinical trials to further our understanding of the exact mechanisms of action and use of nitroxoline in oncology treatment.

Authors: Khan Nawal , Halaseh Faris F , Pillai Kathryn , Zaki Daniel P , Sayadi Lohrasb R , Widgerow Alan D 
Published: February 2023

Objective: This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the two most commonly used oxygen delivery methods for the treatment of thermal burn wound healing: hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and topical oxygen therapy (TOT). Method: The PubMed database was searched for articles discussing the use of HBOT or TOT in the treatment of thermal burns. Results: The search yielded 43,406 articles, of which 28 (23 HBOT, 5 TOT) met the inclusion criteria. Both experimental and clinical studies have demonstrated conflicting results after treating thermal burns with HBOT or TOT. Overall, 14/23 studies demonstrated positive results for HBOT on the healing of burn wounds and associated complications, such as oedema and pain. Findings from these studies showed it can reduce morbidity and mortality in certain high-risk groups such as those with diabetes or extensive burns. Although the five studies (one human and four animal trials) reviewing TOT showed promising outcomes, this therapeutic modality has not been well investigated. Conclusion: Therapeutic use of HBOT in thermal burns has been popular in the past but its use remains controversial due to inconsistent results, serious side-effects, lack of convenience and high costs. The use of TOT in the management of burns needs further exploration by scientists and clinicians alike, in addition to the implementation of a standardised treatment protocol.
