Published: January 2025

Background
Precise functional capacity assessment is a critical component for preoperative risk stratification. Brief submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (smCPET) has shown diagnostic utility in various cardiopulmonary conditions.

Objective
This study aims to determine if smCPET could be implemented in a high-volume presurgical evaluation clinic and, when compared to structured functional capacity surveys, if smCPET could better discriminate low functional capacity (≤4.6 metabolic equivalents [METs]).

Methods
After institutional approval, 43 participants presenting for noncardiac surgery who met the following inclusion criteria were enrolled: aged 60 years and older, a Revised Cardiac Risk Index of ≤2, and self-reported METs of ≥4.6 (self-endorsed ability to climb 2 flights of stairs). Subjective METs assessments, Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) surveys, and a 6-minute smCPET trial were conducted. The primary end points were (1) operational efficiency, based on the time of the experimental session being ≤20 minutes; (2) modified Borg survey of perceived exertion, with a score of ≤7 indicating no more than moderate exertion; (3) high participant satisfaction with smCPET task execution, represented as a score of ≥8 (out of 10); and (4) high participant satisfaction with smCPET scheduling, represented as a score of ≥8 (out of 10). Student's t test was used to determine the significance of the secondary end points. Correlation between comparable structured surveys and smCPET measurements was assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. A Bland-Altman analysis was used to assess agreement between the methods.

Results
The mean session time was 16.9 (SD 6.8) minutes. The mean posttest modified Borg survey score was 5.35 (SD 1.8). The median patient satisfaction (on a scale of 1=worst to 10=best) was 10 (IQR 10-10) for scheduling and 10 (IQR 9-10) for task execution. Subjective METs were higher when compared to smCPET equivalents (extrapolated peak METs; mean 7.6, SD 2.0 vs mean 6.7, SD 1.8; t42=2.1; P<.001). DASI-estimated peak METs were higher when compared to smCPET peak METs (mean 8.8, SD 1.2 vs mean 6.7, SD 1.8; t42=7.2; P<.001). DASI-estimated peak oxygen uptake was higher than smCPET peak oxygen uptake (mean 30.9, SD 4.3 mL kg–1 min–1 vs mean 23.6, SD 6.5 mL kg–1 min–1; t42=7.2; P<.001).

Conclusions
Implementation of smCPET in a presurgical evaluation clinic is both patient centered and clinically feasible. Brief smCPET measures, supportive of published reports regarding low sensitivity of provider-driven or structured survey measures for low functional capacity, were lower than those from structured surveys. Future studies will analyze the prediction of perioperative complications and cost-effectiveness.

Capturing Everyday Parental Feeding Practices and Eating Behaviors of 3- to 5-Year-Old Children With Avid Eating Behavior: Ecological Momentary Assessment Feasibility and Acceptability Study
Authors: Pickard Abigail , Edwards Katie , Farrow Claire , Haycraft Emma , Blissett Jacqueline 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
The wide use of smartphones offers large-scale opportunities for real-time data collection methods such as ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to assess how fluctuations in contextual and psychosocial factors influence parents’ feeding practices and feeding goals, particularly when feeding children with high food approaches.

Objective
The main objectives of this study were to (1) assess parents/caregivers’ compliance with EMA procedures administered through a smartphone app and (2) estimate the criterion validity of the EMA to capture children’s eating occasions and parents’ feeding practices. Participant adherence, technological challenges, and data quality were used to provide an overview of the real-time dynamics of parental mood, feeding goals, and contextual factors during eating occasions.

Methods
Parents in the United Kingdom with a child aged 3 to 5 years who exhibit avid eating behavior were invited to participate in a 10-day EMA study using a smartphone app. Of the 312 invited participants, 122 (39%) parents initiated the EMA study, of which 118 (96.7%) completed the full EMA period and the follow-up feasibility and acceptability survey.

Results
Of those parents who completed the EMA study, 104 (87.4%) parents provided at least 7 “full” days of data (2 signal surveys and 1 event survey), despite 51 parents (43.2%) experiencing technical difficulties. The parents received notifications for morning surveys (69.9% response rate), 3 daily mood surveys (78.7% response rate), and an end-of-day survey (84.6% response rate) on each of the 10 days. Over the EMA period, a total of 2524 child eating/food request surveys were self-initiated by the participants on their smartphones, an average of 2.1 times per day per parent (SD 0.18; min=1.7, max=2.3). The majority of parents felt that the surveys made them more aware of their feelings (105/118, 89%) and activities (93/118, 79%). The frequency of daily food requests estimated by parents at baseline was significantly correlated with the frequency of food requests reported daily during the EMA period (r=0.483, P<.001). However, the number of daily food requests per day estimated at baseline (mean 4.5, SD 1.5) was significantly higher than the number of food requests reported per day during the EMA period (mean 3.7, SD 1.1), (t116=18.8, P<.001).

Conclusions
This paper demonstrates the feasibility of employing EMA to investigate the intricate interplay between parental mood, feeding goals, contextual factors, and feeding practices with children exhibiting an avid eating behavior profile. However, the use of EMA needs to be carefully developed and tested with parents’ involvement to ensure successful data collection.

Leonard Euler in the “Scientific Revolution” Concept of Thomas Kuhn
Authors: Starostin Dmitri 
Published: January 2025

This study seeks to clarify T. Kuhn’s “theory of scientific revolution” in the application of the laws of I. Newton to the theory of the Moon’s motion. It argues that I. Newton’s formulae produced at least three approaches. L. Euler provided one by gearing the formula to the needs of practical astronomy and developed calculation techniques that could answer all practical needs, using the apparatus of differentials and derivatives developed by G. W. Leibniz. J. L. Lagrange took Newton’s concept of ‘force’ and developed it into the formalism of ‘impulse’ and ‘energy’. Later G. Plana returned to the point where L. Euler had started, but he used the law of universal gravitation instead of the 2nd law of Newton in his equations. Thus I. Newton’s laws and ideas were developed in totally different directions, none of which seemed enough in the 19th century.
Oxidative stress induces plasma membrane phosphatidylserine externalization in canine erythrocytes in vitro, mitigated by thiol antioxidants
Authors: Kao Yun-Fan , Santos Andrea Pires dos , Serpa Priscila B. S. , Moore George E. , Woolcock Andrew D. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To determine if oxidative stress induces phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization in canine erythrocytes and if exposure to antioxidants prevents such changes.

METHODS
This was an in vitro, experimental study using 5 healthy, adult, purpose-bred research Beagles. Fresh EDTA-anticoagulated blood samples were collected from each dog, and erythrocytes were harvested. For objective 1, erythrocytes were exposed to the pro-oxidant agents tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) at 2, 3, or 4 mM or 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride at 30, 40, or 50 mM. For objective 2, erythrocytes were exposed to 3 mM TBHP and the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine-amide (NACA) at various concentrations (0, 1, or 3 mM). Erythrocytes incubated with benzoylbenzoyl-ATP were used as positive control, whereas erythrocytes incubated with sodium chloride medium with 0.1% bovine serum albumin, DMSO, and NACA were used as negative controls. Erythrocytes were stained with allophycocyanin-conjugated Annexin V, and PS externalization was assessed by flow cytometry. The degree of PS externalization of each sample was recorded as median fluorescence intensity and percentage of PS positivity.

RESULTS
TBHP at 3 and 4 mM caused increased PS externalization in canine erythrocytes. 2,2′-Azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride at all concentrations caused increased PS externalization. N-acetylcysteine-amide at all concentrations prevented significant PS externalization measured by median fluorescence intensity and percentage of PS positivity from erythrocytes exposed to TBHP.

CONCLUSIONS
Oxidative stress causes PS externalization in canine erythrocytes, and NACA ameliorates this effect.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Future studies are needed to determine if increased PS externalization in erythrocytes occurs in dogs with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia and its role in promoting thromboembolism.
Left-handed use of surgical instruments: improved function through understanding instrument design
Authors: Bishop Rebecca C. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To explain design features of scissors and surgical instruments that work against left-handed users and demonstrate how the user can adapt their technique for ambidextrous use of standard instruments.

ANIMALS
Any species.

METHODS
Standard instruments are designed for maximal efficiency with the use of a right-handed grip. A gripping motion results in pushing force from the thumb and pulling of the fingers toward the palm. Both scissor blades and hemostat/needle driver box locks are oriented such that these natural forces act to push the scissor blades against each other or open the box locks. Using standard scissors with a left-handed grip is less efficient and more likely to cause tissue trauma. To use a right-handed instrument with the left hand, the thumb must instead be pulled towards the palm. This is effective but less ergonomic and requires more conscious practice. Sharp, well-maintained scissors are essential to mitigate tissue trauma.

RESULTS
Understanding how pressure needs to be applied for opening of box locks and apposition of scissor blades results in improved efficiency of instrument use and precision of scissor cuts.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Left-handed people are often adept at adjusting to equipment optimized to right-handed users. However, learning surgical skills from right-handed surgeons can be frustrating, requiring individual trial and error. Understanding the design features of surgical instruments improves efficiency for left-handed users and facilitates teaching of left-handed trainees by right-handed surgeons.
How to Create an Ecocentric Environment: through Musical Art: From Theory to Practice
Authors: Chabashvili Eka , Virsaladze Maya Maka , Chokhonelidze Alexander , Asitashvili Joni 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Humans have faced a great challenge in the new Anthropocene Epoch of the Earth: the threat of an ecological catastrophe. Dealing with the crisis and correcting our mistakes is the duty of all people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, political or other affiliation. Unfortunately, the majority of the population, numerous politicians and businessmen among them, does not fully grasp the seriousness of the problem. It is important to deepen the society’s awareness and sensitivity towards ecological issues, and to actively involve the society in environmental causes.
The main purpose of our paper is to compare anthropocentric and ecocentric attitudes towards environment issues and to share ideas on how to create a more eco-friendly environment in which to raise the next generation. We propose different types of educational methods or activities that will help children to develop elementary habits that will make them more understanding and caring as citizens in relation to nature and the environment.
Estimating Hourly Solar Irradiations On A Tilted Surface In Rabat, Morocco: Performance of Different Transposition Models
Authors: Raihani Hanan 
Published: January 2025

Objective: The objective of this study is to find the most appropriate model that estimate the global solar irradiation on an inclined plane from horizontal data, by using hourly measurements of global solar irradiation on this plane, for Rabat city capital of Morocco.

Theoretical Framework: Morocco is interested in developing renewable energy strategies to produce clean electricity, reducing thereby CO2 emissions. Solar systems are installed on inclined surfaces.

Method: Transposition models with complete formulation are evaluated by comparison with two years of measured data in Rabat city. NIP pyrheliometer and Kipp & Zonen SP-Lite pyranometers are used to provide our “Solar Energy and Environment Laboratory” with measured data.
Results and Discussion: There is no great discrepancy between selected models regarding the performance for the same sky type condition. For Perez the most suitable model, the slope of the best fit regression line between estimated and measured values, the coefficient of determination, MBE% and RMSE%, regarding the “All” sky type condition, are subsequently 0.9716, 0.9849, -4.16 and 9.29 respectively.

Research Implications: .An accurate evaluation of solar radiation arriving on an inclined surface is required and very important to engineers for solar energy collecting devices, to architects for buildings and to agronomists for studies on mountain slopes.

Originality/Value: This work contributes to the literature by providing useful information about the influence of different sky type condition on the performance of a model that could help future similar studies.
Modeling and Optimization of Detention Basins For Cost Minimization and Flood Mitigation in Urban Areas
Authors: Ferreira Edinilson de Castro , Cabral Jaime Joaquim da Silva Pereira 
Published: January 2025

Objective: The objective of this study was to develop and apply an optimization model for the sizing of detention reservoirs in an urban watershed, aiming to minimize implementation costs and mitigate flood risks in critical areas.

Theoretical Framework: The study is based on flood control models and urban drainage infrastructure, focusing on optimization techniques applied to water resource management. References include the SCS Curve Number method for surface runoff, the PCSWMM hydrological model for precipitation simulations, and the HEC-RAS hydraulic model for flood area delineation.

Method: The research was divided into three main stages: (i) physical and hydrological characterization of the watershed using PCSWMM; (ii) delineation of flood-prone areas with HEC-RAS 2D; and (iii) development of a nonlinear optimization model in GAMS for the sizing of detention reservoirs. The decision variables included the height, surface area, and outlet diameter of the reservoirs, with implementation cost as the main objective function.

Results and Discussion: The optimization modeling determined the ideal characteristics of six reservoirs distributed throughout the watershed to maximize retention and flow control. The total flooded area was estimated at 270,989 m², with maximum depths reaching 1.914 meters. The total cost of the reservoir system was calculated at approximately R$ 1,164,845.91, providing an optimized solution for flood control in the watershed’s vulnerable areas.

Research Implications: The results suggest a practical and feasible solution for flood control in urban watersheds, offering a replicable model that can aid in planning drainage infrastructure in other regions facing similar challenges.

Originality/Value: This study is original in its integrated application of PCSWMM and HEC-RAS models with a nonlinear optimization approach in GAMS, resulting in an efficient and economical solution for flood mitigation in urbanized areas.
