Published: June 2023

AbstractSocial buffering, a phenomenon where social presence can reduce anxiety and fear-related autonomic responses, has been studied in numerous laboratory settings. The results suggest that the familiarity of the interaction partner influences social buffering while also providing some evidence for gender effects. In the laboratory, however, it is difficult to mimic the complexity of real-life social interactions. Consequently, the social modulation of anxiety and related autonomic responses in everyday life remains poorly understood. We used smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) combined with wearable electrocardiogram sensors to investigate how everyday-life social interactions affect state anxiety and related cardiac changes in women and men. On five consecutive days, 96 healthy young participants (53% women) answered up to six EMA surveys per day, indicating characteristics of their most recent social interaction and the respective interaction partner(s). In women, our results showed lower heart rate in the presence of a male interaction partner. Men showed the same effect with female interaction partners. Moreover, only women showed decreased heart rate and increased heart rate variability with increasing interaction partner familiarity. These findings specify the conditions under which social interactions reduce anxiety-related responses in women and men.

AbstractCarbapenem antibiotics are widely used in ICU, and the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant microorganisms (CRO) has increased. This study aimed to assess the role of individualized active surveillance using Xpert Carba-R of carbapenem resistance genes on CRO risk. A total of 3,765 patients were admitted to the ICU of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University between 2020 and 2022. The presence of carbapenem resistance genes were monitored using Xpert Carba-R, and CRO incidence was assigned as the investigated outcome. Of 3,765 patients, 390 manifested the presence of CRO, representing a prevalence of 10.36%. Active surveillance using Xpert Carba-R was associated with a lower CRO risk (odds ratio [OR]: 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.62–0.95; P = 0.013), especially for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter + carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (OR: 0.79; 95% CI 0.62–0.99; P = 0.043), carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (OR: 0.56; 95% CI 0.40–0.79; P = 0.001), and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (OR: 0.65; 95% CI 0.47–0.90; P = 0.008). Individualized active surveillance using Xpert Carba-R may be associated with a reduction in the overall CRO incidence in ICU. Further prospective studies should be performed to verify these conclusions and guide further management of patients in ICU.

Published: June 2023

AbstractMicrostructural modification of high chromium cast irons (HCCI) through the precipitation of secondary carbides (SC) during destabilization treatments is essential for improving their tribological response. However, there is not a clear consensus about the first stages of the SC precipitation and how both the heating rate (HR) and destabilization temperature can affect the nucleation and growth of SC. The present work shows the microstructural evolution, with a special focus on the SC precipitation, in a HCCI (26 wt% Cr) during heating up to 800, 900, and 980 °C. It was seen that the HR is the most dominant factor influencing the SC precipitation as well as the matrix transformation in the studied experimental conditions. Finally, this work reports for first time in a systematic manner, the precipitation of SC during heating of the HCCI, providing a further understanding on the early stages of the SC precipitation and the associated microstructural modifications.

AbstractThe prognosis of phenylketonuria (PKU) is related to the quality of metabolic control all life-long. PKU treatment is based on a low-Phe diet, 6R-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) treatment for the BH4-responsive PKU patients or enzyme replacement therapy. Fluctuations in blood phenylalanine (Phe) concentrations may be an important determinant of intellectual outcome in patients with early and continuously treated phenylketonuria (PKU). The aim of this work is to study the fluctuation of Blood Phe in patients treated by BH4 from birth in comparison with patients treated by low-Phe diet. We conducted a retrospective study in a national reference center for PKU management. We compared mean phenylalanine blood concentration and its fluctuation in 10 BH4-responder patients (BH4R) and in 10 BH4 non-responder patients (BH4NR) treated from birth. The mean blood Phe concentration is similar between the two groups before 10 years of age (290 ± 135 (BH4R) vs. 329 ± 187 µmol/L, p = 0.066 (BH4NR)) while it is lower in the BH4R group after 10 years of age. (209 ± 69 vs. 579 ± 136 µmol/L, p = 0.0008). Blood Phe fluctuation is significantly lower in the BH4R group compared to the BH4NR group (70.2 ± 75.6 vs. 104.4 ± 111.6 µmol/L, p < 0.01) before 6 years of age. There are no significant differences observed on nutritional status, growth, and neuropsychological tests between the two groups. BH4 introduced in the neonatal period is associated with less blood Phe fluctuation before 6 years. Additional time and patients are required to determine if the decrease in Phe fluctuation would positively impact the long-term outcome of PKU patients.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe present study aims to assess the effect of the hip flexion angle on the shear modulus of the adductor longus (AL) muscle associated with passive hip abduction and rotation. Sixteen men participated in the study. For the hip abduction task, the hip flexion angles used were − 20, 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80°, and the hip abduction angles were 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40°. For the hip rotation task, the hip flexion angles used were − 20, 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80°, hip abduction angles were 0 and 40°, and hip rotation angles were 20° internal rotation, 0° rotation, and 20° external rotation. The shear modulus at 20° extension was significantly higher than that at 80° flexion for the 10, 20, 30 and 40° hip abduction (i.e.,P < 0.05). The shear modulus at 20° internal rotation and 20° extension was significantly higher than that at 0° rotation and 20° external rotation, regardless of the hip abduction angle (i.e.,P < 0.05). The mechanical stress of the AL muscle associated with hip abduction was higher in the extended position. Furthermore, the mechanical stress could increase with internal rotation only at the hip-extended position.

emissions. Current antifouling methods involving polymer coating, biocides, and self-depleting layers harm marine ecosystems and contribute to marine pollution. Significant advancements have resulted in using bioinspired coatings to address this issue. However, prior investigations have predominantly focused on wettability and adhesion aspects, resulting in a limited understanding of the impact of flow regime on bioinspired structure patterns for antifouling. We conducted comprehensive experiments with two bioinspired coatings1 under laminar and turbulent flow regimes and compared them with a smooth surface. The two coatings are composed of regular arrangements of micropillars measuring 85 μm in height and spaced at 180 μm (pattern A) and 50 μm high micropillars spaced at 220 μm (pattern B). Theoretical arguments indicate that wall-normal velocity fluctuations near the micropillars’ top significantly contribute to reducing the onset of biofouling under turbulence compared to the smooth surface. Pattern A coating can effectively decrease biofouling by 90% for fouling sizes exceeding 80 microns when compared to a smooth surface subjected to a turbulent flow regime. The coatings exhibited comparable anti-biofouling properties under a laminar flow. Also, the smooth surface experienced substantially higher biofouling under laminar flow compared to turbulent conditions. This underscores how the effectiveness of anti-biofouling approaches is critically influenced by the flow regime.
The effect of carbon price on low carbon innovation
Authors: Cantone Bernardo , Evans David , Reeson Andrew 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWhilst many governments have implemented carbon pricing to provide firms with a greater financial incentive to develop low carbon technologies, the effect of the carbon price on the level of low carbon innovation remains unclear. In this study we develop an empirically grounded model of firms’ carbon price expectations and innovation processes. We use this model to show that a 1 USD increase in the expected future carbon price is associated with a 1.4% increase in the level of patenting in low carbon technologies, based on data for countries participating in the EU emissions trading system. We also find that firms gradually update their expectations of the future carbon price in response to recent price changes. Our findings indicate that higher carbon prices provide an effective incentive for low carbon innovation.
Imagery in the entropic associative memory
Authors: Pineda Luis A. , Morales Rafael 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe Entropic Associative Memory is a novel declarative and distributed computational model of associative memory. The model is general, conceptually simple, and offers an alternative to models developed within the artificial neural networks paradigm. The memory uses a standard table as its medium, where the information is stored in an indeterminate form, and the entropy plays a functional and operation role. The memory register operation abstracts the input cue with the current memory content and is productive; memory recognition is performed through a logical test; and memory retrieval is constructive. The three operations can be performed in parallel using very few computing resources. In our previous work we explored the auto-associative properties of the memory and performed experiments to store, recognize and retrieve manuscript digits and letters with complete and incomplete cues, and also to recognize and learn phones, with satisfactory results. In such experiments a designated memory register was used to store all the objects of the same class, whereas in the present study we remove such restriction and use a single memory register to store all the objects in the domain. In this novel setting we explore the production of emerging objects and relations, such that cues are used not only to retrieve remembered objects, but also related and imaged objects, and to produce association chains. The present model supports the view that memory and classification are independent functions both conceptually and architecturally. The memory system can store images of the different modalities of perception and action, possibly multimodal, and offers a novel perspective on the imagery debate and computational models of declarative memory.

Published: June 2023

AbstractChiral iridium (III) complexes are very important for the preparation of circularly polarized organic diodes light‐emitting diodes (CP‐OLEDs). Three novel iridium (III) complexes, Ir(dnfppy)2(Cl/pyrrole), Ir(dfppy)2(dpp), and Ir(tfmqz)2(sdpp), have been synthesized and characterized, respectively. These iridium (III) complexes emitted deep‐blue, blue, and red photoluminescence with high quantum yields (Ir(dnfppy)2(Cl/Pyrrole): λmax = 447 nm, F = 62.4%; Ir(dfppy)2(dpp): λmax = 467 nm, F = 25%; Ir(tfmqz)2(sdpp): λmax = 609 nm, F = 73.7%). Compared with Ir(dnfppy)2(Cl/pyrrole), the HOMO energy levels of Ir(dfppy)2(dpp) and Ir(tfmqz)2(sdpp) were calculated to be −5.71/−5.73 eV, and the LUMO energy levels were increased to be −2.75/−3.36 eV, respectively. The circular dichroism spectra of two pairs of the enantiomers for Ir(dfppy)2(dpp) or Ir(tfmqz)2(sdpp) displayed symmetry with opposite polarization between 300 and 600 nm. The maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of OLEDs based on Ir(tfmpqz)2(sddp) was 13.8%, showing a relatively low efficiency roll‐off with the EQE of 10.7% at 5000 cd/m2.
Zur Wirkung des Dehnungstrainings als
Verletzungsprophylaxe
Authors: Klee Andreas , Wydra Georg 
Published: June 2023

ZusammenfassungMuskelsehnenverletzungen haben vor allem bei Schnellkraftsportarten einen hohen
Anteil an allen Verletzungen. Sowohl vom Dehnen beim Aufwärmen als auch
vom regelmäßigen Dehnen wird eine Reduzierung der
Muskelsehnenverletzungen erwartet. Die Angabe über das Ausmaß
der Reduzierung erfolgt entweder in Prozent oder über die Empfehlung,
wie viele Jahre man dehnen muss, um eine Muskelsehnenverletzung zu vermeiden.
Die Angaben weisen eine große Streuung auf (5–54%,
5–23 Jahre).Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird erläutert, wie diese unterschiedlichen
Zahlen zustande kommen und wie sie zu interpretieren sind. Dabei kommen dem
unterschiedlichen Verletzungsrisiko bei verschiedenen sportlichen
Aktivitäten und den Unterschieden beim Belastungsumfang (Stunden pro
Jahr) eine besondere Bedeutung zu.In den entsprechenden Metaanalysen der letzten Jahre wurden vor allem
zwölf Primärstudien berücksichtigt. Dabei werden von den
Metaanalysen jeweils unterschiedliche und unterschiedlich viele
Primärstudien einbezogen. Vor allem vier Primärstudien sind
für eine Berechnung des relativen Risikos geeignet. Diese Berechnung
ergibt, dass ca. ein Drittel der Muskelsehnenverletzungen vermieden werden kann.
Dieses Ergebnis wird durch fünf weitere Primärstudien
gestützt. Es kann nicht geklärt werden, ob diese Reduzierung
durch kurzfristige Aufwärmeffekte oder langfristige Anpassungen
verursacht wird. Daher sollte dem Dehnungstraining in der Sportpraxis beim
Aufwärmen (dynamisches Dehnen) und beim regelmäßigen
Dehnen (alle Methoden) große Bedeutung beigemessen werden. Neben dem
Dehnen gibt es weitere Maßnahmen, die das Verletzungsrisiko verringern
können, so das exzentrische Krafttraining.In zukünftigen Studien sollten der Belastungsumfang und die
Verletzungsinzidenz in Verletzungen pro 1000 Stunden angegeben werden. Da diese
Angaben in vielen Primärstudien fehlen, können die Ergebnisse
kaum verglichen und übertragen werden. Darüber hinaus sollten
zusätzliche Variablen wie z. B. Vorverletzungen erhoben werden
und in eine multivariate Auswertung einfließen.
HPV-Impfung bei Kindern, Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen
Authors: Wieland Ulrike 
Published: June 2023

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGNeben gutartigen Kondylomen zählen Krebsvorstufen von Zervix, Vulva, Vagina, Anus und Penis sowie die entsprechenden Karzinome zu den HPV-bedingten Erkrankungen. In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben HPV-assoziierte Oropharynxkarzinome zugenommen, vor allem bei Männern. Insgesamt werden 4–5 % aller Krebserkrankungen durch HPV verursacht. In allen HPV-bedingten Karzinomen ist HPV16 der häufigste HPV-Typ. Kondylome und die rezidivierende Larynxpapillomatose (RLP) werden durch HPV6 und 11 ausgelöst. Die meisten HPV-assoziierten Erkrankungen können durch prophylaktische HPV-Impfung verhindert werden, wobei ein junges Impfalter bzw. HPV-Naivität entscheidend sind. In Ländern mit hohen HPV-Impfraten bei Kindern und Jugendlichen nehmen nicht nur Kondylome, sondern auch das Zervixkarzinom und seine Vorstufen drastisch ab. In Australien und den USA wird ein deutlicher Rückgang der juvenilen RLP beobachtet, weil geimpfte Mütter vor HPV6/11 geschützt sind. Metaanalysen kommen zu dem Schluss, dass die Off-Label-HPV-Impfung als adjuvante Therapie bei RLP einen Nutzen haben könnte, aber weitere Studien notwendig sind. Die WHO strebt die Elimination des Zervixkarzinoms an. Dazu müssen bei Mädchen bis zum 15. Lebensjahr HPV-Impfraten von 90 % in allen Ländern erreicht werden. Da in Deutschland die HPV-Impfquote bei 15-jährigen Mädchen nur bei 54 % liegt (Jungen 26,5 %), sind weitere Anstrengungen zur Erhöhung der Impfraten notwendig.
Visible-Light-Induced C-3 Difluoroalkylation of Quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones with Difluoroiodane(III) Reagents under Catalyst-Free Conditions

Published: June 2023

AbstractA visible-light-induced radical difluoroalkylation of quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones by hypervalent-iodine-based reagents was developed. To facilitate the final oxidative step, [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene (PIFA) was employed as an oxidant. Moreover, a one-pot protocol for this transformation was realized by generating the difluoroalkylation reagent in situ. The readily accessible reagents and the mild reaction conditions make this reaction an alternative and practical strategy for the synthesis of C(3)-difluoroalkylated quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones.
Synthesis of an Azo-Cyanine Dye as an RNA Probe for Distinguishing Gram-Positive Bacteria from Gram-Negative Bacteria

Published: June 2023

AbstractWe have developed a new cyanine fluorescent probe, Azo-ETO3, that shows better RNA selectivity than commercial dyes in solution. Azo-ETO3 can image the RNA of mitochondria in living cells and the RNA of the nucleolus and cytoplasm in fixed cells. As a practical application, Azo-ETO3 emits strong fluorescence when interacting with Gram-positive bacteria, and it can be used to selectively label G+ bacteria in the presence of other bacteria. In addition, Azo-ETO3 exhibits low toxicity and has essentially no major impact on bacterial colony growth. These properties could make it useful as a tool for distinguishing bacterial species.

Published: June 2023

Background Prescriptions, medicolegal documents issued by physicians to patients, must be written accurately and clearly, contain all the required information, and adhere to the guidelines for prescription writing. In eastern Libya, most prescriptions are handwritten. Incomplete prescriptions might lead to serious medication errors.
Aim The aim of this article was to assess the completeness of handwritten prescriptions issued by physicians working in eastern Libya.
Method A total of 1,080 handwritten prescriptions were collected from pharmacies in different parts of the city of Derna and its suburbs in eastern Libya. After the exclusion of three prescriptions that were defined as illegible by the researchers, the 1,077 remaining prescriptions were examined for completeness against a checklist designed according to the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO).
Results Most of the prescriptions (84.12%) did not contain the name of the prescribing physician. The patient's name was not mentioned on 16.06% of the prescriptions. Patient-related information was missing in most of the prescriptions. Most of the physicians (91.27%) prescribed drugs using their trade names. Drug strength, route of drug administration, and duration of therapy were absent in 29.61, 87, and 56.17% of the prescriptions, respectively. Only 26% of the prescriptions contained the date.
Conclusion Most of the prescriptions inspected in this study had some deficiencies and did not adhere to the WHO guidelines.
Breathlessness with Pleural Effusion: What Do We Know?
Authors: Muruganandan Sanjeevan , Mishra Eleanor , Singh Bhajan 
Published: June 2023

AbstractBreathlessness is the most common symptom in individuals with pleural effusion and is often disabling. The pathophysiology of breathlessness associated with pleural effusion is complex. The severity of breathlessness correlates weakly with the size of the effusion. Improvements in ventilatory capacity following pleural drainage are small and correlate poorly with the volume of fluid drained and improvements in breathlessness. Impaired hemidiaphragm function and a compensatory increase in respiratory drive to maintain ventilation appear to be an important mechanism of breathlessness associated with pleural effusion. Thoracocentesis reduces diaphragm distortion and improves its movement; these changes appear to reduce respiratory drive and associated breathlessness by improving the neuromechanical efficiency of the diaphragm.
