AbstractAimTo psychometrically assess the Spanish version of the Self‐Care of Chronic Illness Inventory (SC‐CII‐Sp) in community‐dwelling older adults with chronic multimorbidity.DesignA methodological study.MethodA total of 1260 older adults participated in the study between May 2020 and February 2022. The data were analysed using SPSS Statistics® 26 and AMOS® 24. The items' content validity index and the Fleiss' kappa were calculated to assess the SC‐CII‐Sp's content validity. Convergent validity was assessed by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient between the participants' scores on the SC‐CII‐Sp and their scores on the Spanish Chronic Disease Self‐Efficacy scale (SCD‐SE). Construct validity was tested by performing a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The SC‐CII‐Sp's reliability was tested by computing the Cronbach's alpha.ResultsThe SC‐CII‐Sp showed good content and convergent validity. The CFA showed that the SC‐CII‐Sp has three sub‐scales. The 8‐item Self‐Care Maintenance sub‐scale has good internal consistency and is comprised of two dimensions: illness‐related and health‐promoting behaviour. The Self‐Care Monitoring sub‐scale had excellent internal consistency and its five loaded items belonged to a single dimension. The 6‐item Self‐Care Management sub‐scale has adequate internal consistency and two dimensions: autonomous and consulting behaviour.ConclusionThe Spanish version of SC‐CII is a valid and reliable instrument to be used in the assessment of self‐care behaviours amongst Spanish‐speaking, community‐dwelling older adults with chronic multimorbidity.Implications for the ProfessionNurses need valid and reliable tools to assess self‐care behaviours in Spanish‐speaking community‐dwelling older adults with chronic multimorbidity. This study provides a 19‐item tool that allows for the comprehensive evaluation of self‐care behaviours in healthy and ill states.ImpactUsing the SC‐CII‐Sp in clinical or research settings could help nurses to examine the effects of different interventions on self‐care behaviours amongst Spanish‐speaking, community‐dwelling older adults with chronic multimorbidity.Patient or Public ContributionNone to be reported.
Investigating mechanisms of political polarization: Perceivers spontaneously infer ideological categories from other people's behavior
Authors: Sander Carsten W. , Degner Juliane 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWhen observing others' behavior, people routinely infer personality traits from it. Research on the correspondence bias has shown that they draw these inferences even from behavior that is situationally constrained. Moreover, these inferences often happen spontaneously, that is, when people have no intention of forming an impression. The current research investigated whether the same applies for inferences of ideological categories, such as conservative, feminist, or climate change denier. We present a series of five preregistered experiments (N = 1012) employing both direct and indirect measures from the impression formation literature. In Experiments 1 and 2, we found that people deliberately, as well as spontaneously, inferred ideological categories from ideology‐implying behavioral descriptions. In Experiments 3, 4, and 5, we found these inferences to be very robust, in that they persist even when alternative reasons for the ideology‐implying behaviors are presented, suggesting that they are subject to the correspondence bias. We argue that to the extent that people attribute negative valence (affective polarization) or extreme attitudes (perceived issue polarization) to ideological categories, spontaneous inferences of these categories can serve as a precondition for a range of negative interpersonal outcomes related to political polarization.

AbstractAimTooth loss studies show that periodontal treatment is effective. However, it is not known whether these results can be projected into a lifetime of treatment. The aim of the study was to study all patients with stages III/IV of periodontitis over 30 years in a private practice.Materials and MethodsAll patients referred between 1986 and 1990 were monitored for 30 years for tooth loss and prognostic factors. All dropouts were accounted for.ResultsIn all, 386 patients were followed, of whom 283 patients dropped out, leaving 103 patients (67 females and 36 males, average age 40.1 years) monitored over 30 years. Tooth loss was stable until 16 years, when the population was divided into groups of low (n = 65), moderate (n = 18) and high (n = 20) tooth loss, losing 1.05 (SD 1.27), 4.83 (SD 0.96) and 11.90 (SD 4.25) teeth, respectively. The strongest prognostic factors were first‐degree relatives with periodontitis, periodontal treatment before the age of 35 years, diabetes and patients with teeth with initial hopeless prognosis.ConclusionThe majority of patients with stages III and IV periodontitis could be successfully treated with conventional periodontal treatment over a period of 30 years. The findings suggest that retrospective studies with shorter observation times cannot automatically be projected onto the outcome of a lifetime of periodontal treatment.
On the lectotype designation of Bryconamericus rubropictus (Berg) (Characiformes, Characidae, Stevardiinae)
Authors: Vanegas‐Ríos James A. , Chiaramonte Gustavo E. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe lectotype specimen of Bryconamericus rubropictus (Berg) and its designation have remained imprecisely documented since its publication. The lack of a photograph or an unambiguous illustration, correct size, inaccurate labelling, and proper specimen separation has led to an uncertainty about the identity and nomenclatural status of the lectotype. We recovered and provided detailed morphological data on the specimen that must be recognised as the lectotype. This contribution brings stability and clarity on the nomenclatural status of the species and its type material.

AbstractIntroductionThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of Lugol‐unstained lesion (LUL) location on the detection yield, which may help the endoscopist select targets for biopsy.MethodsWe enrolled 1064 subjects who had LULs at the baseline screening of a population‐based randomized controlled trial. There were 1166 LULs with recorded location and pathologic diagnosis, and these were used for analysis. The detection rate of severe dysplasia and above (SDA) was calculated as the number of LULs identified as SDA divided by the number of LULs biopsied. Logistic regression with a generalized estimating equation was applied to evaluate the association between the location of a given LUL and the risk of the LUL being SDA.ResultsThe detection rate of SDA for LULs located in the lower, middle, and upper esophagus increased from 5.9% and 10.9% to 16.7%. LUL location was significantly associated with having SDA (adjusted odds ratio (OR)upper vs. lower = 2.88, 95% confidential interval (CI) = 1.48–5.60; adjusted ORmiddle vs. lower = 1.63, 95% CI = 0.96–2.76), and the association was stronger in subgroups with a family history of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) (adjusted ORupper vs. lower = 9.72, 95% CI = 2.57–36.69; adjusted ORmiddle vs. lower = 3.76, 95% CI = 0.93–15.21).ConclusionsOur results suggest that more attention should be paid by endoscopists to LULs in the upper and middle esophagus, particularly for individuals with a family history of ESCC.

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe ‘Bridging Imaging Users to Imaging Analysis’ survey was conducted in 2022 by the Center for Open Bioimage Analysis (COBA), BioImaging North America (BINA) and the Royal Microscopical Society Data Analysis in Imaging Section (RMS DAIM) to understand the needs of the imaging community. Through multichoice and open‐ended questions, the survey inquired about demographics, image analysis experiences, future needs and suggestions on the role of tool developers and users. Participants of the survey were from diverse roles and domains of the life and physical sciences. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to survey cross‐community to bridge knowledge gaps between physical and life sciences imaging. Survey results indicate that respondents' overarching needs are documentation, detailed tutorials on the usage of image analysis tools, user‐friendly intuitive software, and better solutions for segmentation, ideally in a format tailored to their specific use cases. The tool creators suggested the users familiarise themselves with the fundamentals of image analysis, provide constant feedback and report the issues faced during image analysis while the users would like more documentation and an emphasis on tool friendliness. Regardless of the computational experience, there is a strong preference for ‘written tutorials’ to acquire knowledge on image analysis. We also observed that the interest in having ‘office hours’ to get an expert opinion on their image analysis methods has increased over the years. The results also showed less‐than‐expected usage of online discussion forums in the imaging community for solving image analysis problems. Surprisingly, we also observed a decreased interest among the survey respondents in deep/machine learning despite the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence in biology. In addition, the community suggests the need for a common repository for the available image analysis tools and their applications. The opinions and suggestions of the community, released here in full, will help the image analysis tool creation and education communities to design and deliver the resources accordingly.

AbstractBackgroundThe diagnosis of chronic primary pain (CPP), according to the recently released International Classification of Disease (ICD‐11) criteria, refers to conditions with complex aetiologies. CPP is characterized by specific clinical features such as generalized sensory hypersensitivity and widespread pain, and is associated with functional disability and emotional distress.ObjectiveThis study investigated clinical features of CPP in individuals with painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and comorbidities (fibromyalgia, migraine and/or tension‐type headache).MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted with a sample of 129 individuals. Painful TMD, fibromyalgia and primary headaches were evaluated based on well‐established international criteria. Generalized sensory hypersensitivity was assessed using psychophysical tests. Symptoms of anxiety and depression were assessed by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder‐7 and Patient Health Questionnaire‐9. The Central Sensitization Inventory was applied to assess central sensitization‐related symptoms and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index to evaluate the quality of sleep. The presence of widespread pain was assessed using a body map. The sample was stratified into three groups: control (n = 25), TMD—painful TMD only (n = 35) and TMD + Cm—painful TMD and comorbidities (n = 69). Statistical analysis was performed using one‐way ANOVA, chi‐squared test and ANCOVA, considering gender as a covariate (α = .05).ResultsCompared to controls, individuals presenting painful TMD and comorbidities showed lower pressure pain thresholds in all evaluated areas (p ≤ .012) and a higher number of painful areas in the body (p = .001). They presented more symptoms of anxiety (p = .040) and depression (p = .018), and a higher score in the Central Sensitization Inventory (p ≤ .006) than the other groups.ConclusionIndividuals with painful TMD and comorbidities presented more clinical features of CPP compared to those affected by TMD only.

AbstractBackgroundEvaluating patients' satisfaction after received care for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) pain provides oral health care professionals with knowledge and tools to improve their clinical procedures. However, knowledge on patient characteristics that determine satisfaction with the received care for TMD pain is lacking.ObjectiveTo identify potential baseline predictors for patients' satisfaction regarding the management of TMD pain upon treatment completion in a referral clinic.MethodsEligible patients, viz., individuals of ≥16 years of age, with a TMD‐pain diagnosis according the diagnostic criteria for TMD (DC/TMD), and who were treated in a referral clinic, were included. As part of their standard care, a set of diagnostic questionnaires was filled in (e.g. TMD‐pain screener, graded chronic pain scale (GCPS), etc.). After completion of the received care, patients filled in a custom‐made questionnaire based on patient reported experience measures (PREMs) to quantify their satisfaction with their treatment results and received care. To identify potential predictors associated with patients' satisfaction, univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were used.ResultsTwenty‐seven patients (mean 39.6, SD 15.0) were included in this study. Overall, the patients were satisfied with the treatment results and the received care. Depressive feelings were negatively associated with satisfaction of treatment results (p = .01) and positively associated with satisfaction of received care (p = .01), while pain intensity was negatively associated with satisfaction of the received care.ConclusionDepressive feelings are a significant negative predictor of patients' satisfaction with the treatment result for TMD pain, while average pain intensity is a significant negative predictor of patients' satisfaction with the received care.
The visual perception of wetness: The role of stain chroma, size, and hue
Authors: Merrick Charlotte , Rosati Rodrigo , Filingeri Davide 
Published: September 2023

AbstractA range of sensory cues contribute to human wetness perception, yet we know little of how visual modalities are involved, specifically if in‐situ physical observations differ from ex‐situ online observations. We aimed to assess the effect of stain volume, chroma, size, and hue on the wetness perception of static images, with a comparison to previously collected in‐situ data. A total of 440 participants completed the online study, including 18 from an analogous in‐situ study. Stimuli varied in physical wetness (0, 2.16 × 10−4 or 3.45 × 10−4 mL mm−2), stain chroma (clear saline, light synthetic urine, dark synthetic urine) and stain size (1150 or 5000 mm2). Further stimuli of a fixed wetness (3.45 × 10−4 mL mm−2) varied in stain hue (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet) and stain size (1150 or 5000 mm2). Participants rated wetness perception using a visual analogue scale (very dry to very wet) and modified yes/no task (dry/wet, gloss/matte, dilute/concentrate). Participants successfully discriminated between all physical wetness levels. Wetness perception shared a positive relationship with stain chroma and size, and varied with hue such that higher wavelengths resulted in greater wetness perception. Finally, online and in‐situ wetness perception did not significantly differ.Practical ApplicationsThe findings fundamentally contribute to our scientific understanding of wetness perception, giving evidence toward different multisensory integration theories. Further applications lie in industry, such as improving the structure, function, and perception of absorbent hygiene products or informing the design of sportswear with moisture management properties. Additionally, findings may aid the improvement of digital software which uses visual wetness components, for example in augmented and virtual realities.
The effect of sleep restriction therapy for insomnia on REM sleep fragmentation: A secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial

Published: September 2023

SummaryRapid eye movement sleep fragmentation is hypothesised to be a reliable feature of insomnia, which may contribute to emotion dysregulation. Sleep restriction therapy, an effective intervention for insomnia, has the potential to reduce rapid eye movement sleep fragmentation through its manipulation of basic sleep–wake processes. We performed secondary data analysis of a randomised controlled trial to examine whether sleep restriction therapy reduces rapid eye movement sleep fragmentation in comparison to a matched control arm. Participants (n = 56; 39 female, mean age = 40.78 ± 9.08 years) were randomly allocated to 4 weeks of sleep restriction therapy or 4 weeks of time in bed regularisation. Ambulatory polysomnographic recordings were performed at baseline, week 1 and week 4. Arousals during rapid eye movement and non‐rapid eye movement sleep were scored blind to group allocation. The following rapid eye movement sleep fragmentation index was the primary outcome: index 1 = (rapid eye movement arousals + rapid eye movement awakenings + non‐rapid eye movement intrusions)/rapid eye movement duration in hours. Secondary outcomes were two further indices of rapid eye movement sleep fragmentation: index 2 = (rapid eye movement arousals + rapid eye movement awakenings)/rapid eye movement duration in hours; and index 3 = rapid eye movement arousals/rapid eye movement duration in hours. A non‐rapid eye movement fragmentation index was also calculated (non‐rapid eye movement arousals/non‐rapid eye movement duration in hours). Linear‐mixed models were fitted to assess between‐group differences. There was no significant group difference for the primary rapid eye movement fragmentation index at week 1 (p = 0.097, d = −0.31) or week 4 (p = 0.741, d = −0.06). There was some indication that secondary indices of rapid eye movement fragmentation decreased more in the sleep restriction therapy group relative to control at week 1 (index 2: p = 0.023, d = −0.46; index 3: p = 0.051, d = −0.39), but not at week 4 (d ≤ 0.13). No group effects were found for arousals during non‐rapid eye movement sleep. We did not find clear evidence that sleep restriction therapy modifies rapid eye movement sleep fragmentation. Small‐to‐medium effect sizes in the hypothesised direction, across several indices of rapid eye movement fragmentation during early treatment, demand further investigation in future studies.

Published: September 2023

AbstractPeople who inject drugs (PWID) with unsafe injection practices have substantial risk for HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. We describe frequency of, and factors associated with, HIV and HCV testing during clinical encounters with PWID. Inpatient and Emergency Department clinical encounters at an Atlanta hospital were abstracted from medical records spanning January 2013–December 2018. We estimated frequency of HIV and HCV testing during injection drug use (IDU)‐related encounters among PWID without previous diagnoses. We assessed associations between patient factors and testing using generalized estimating equations models. HIV testing occurred in 39.3% and HCV testing occurred in 17.1% of eligible IDU‐related encounters. Testing was more likely in IDU‐related encounters during 2017–2018 than in encounters during 2013–2014; (HIV, AOR = 2.14, 95% CI, 1.32–3.49, p < .01). Testing was less likely among Black/African American patients compared to White patients (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: HIV, AOR = 0.48, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33–0.72, p < .01); HCV, AOR = 0.41, 95% CI, 0.24–0.70, p < .01). This difference may be attributable to recent testing among Black patients in non‐IDU related encounters. HIV and HCV testing improved over time; however, missed opportunities for testing still existed. Strategies should aim to improve equitable HIV and HCV testing among PWID.
