AbstractForests are increasingly exposed to extreme global warming‐induced climatic events. However, the immediate and carry‐over effects of extreme events on forests are still poorly understood. Gross primary productivity (GPP) capacity is regarded as a good proxy of the ecosystem's functional stability, reflecting its physiological response to its surroundings. Using eddy covariance data from 34 forest sites in the Northern Hemisphere, we analyzed the immediate and carry‐over effects of late‐spring frost (LSF) and growing season drought on needle‐leaf and broadleaf forests. Path analysis was applied to reveal the plausible reasons behind the varied responses of forests to extreme events. The results show that LSF had clear immediate effects on the GPP capacity of both needle‐leaf and broadleaf forests. However, GPP capacity in needle‐leaf forests was more sensitive to drought than in broadleaf forests. There was no interaction between LSF and drought in either needle‐leaf or broadleaf forests. Drought effects were still visible when LSF and drought coexisted in needle‐leaf forests. Path analysis further showed that the response of GPP capacity to drought differed between needle‐leaf and broadleaf forests, mainly due to the difference in the sensitivity of canopy conductance. Moreover, LSF had a more severe and long‐lasting carry‐over effect on forests than drought. These results enrich our understanding of the mechanisms of forest response to extreme events across forest types.
A vernacular archive of early modern disability: Martin Luther's figurative uses of deafness
Authors: Baum Jacob 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis essay charts a key moment in the premodern cultural history of disability by mapping out how Martin Luther talked about deafness in his vernacular works. It employs a simple keyword search methodology to the digitized version of the Weimarer Ausgabe, compiling all references to taub and Taubheit. Also included are references to taubstumm and stumm, reflecting premodern tendencies to blur distinctions between deafness and mutism. Analysis reveals several patterns: (1) Luther rarely said anything about living deaf people but instead used deafness figuratively to serve theological or polemical points. (2) His figurative uses of deafness can be divided into eight categories of mostly negative representations. (3) Luther was more prone to make positive or neutral associations with deafness earlier in his career, but over time, this gave way to an overwhelmingly negative picture. (4) Comparison with a sample of Luther's Latin works suggests that similar patterns prevail across the entirety of the Weimarer Ausgabe.

Published: May 2023

AbstractA meta‐analysis investigation was executed to measurethe wound complications (WCs) frequency in heart transplant (HT) recipients on mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (MTRIs). A comprehensive literature investigation till February 2023 was applied and 978 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The 10 chosen investigations enclosed 2173 individuals with HT were in the chosen investigations' starting point, 1164 of them were utilising MTRIs, and 1009 were utilising control. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilised to compute the value of the WCs frequency in HT recipients on MTRIs by the dichotomous approaches and a fixed or random model. MTRIs had significantly higher WCs (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.19–1.98, P = .001) compared with those with control in individuals with HT. MTRIs had significantly higher WCs compared with those with control in individuals with HT. However, care must be exercised when dealing with its values because of the low number of the nominated investigations and the low sample size of some of the nominated investigations for the meta‐analysis.

AbstractThere are diverse diseases such as some infections, trauma, and tumor resections during cancer surgery that can cause bone damage or skeletal defects in persons. Most of the time, these defects cannot heal spontaneously due to several medical conditions that patients encounter, like diabetes, hormone‐related problems, and autoimmune disorders. This issue is even worse for older people and some special treatments should be provided for them. Bone‐tissue engineering has emerged to tackle these challenges. By investigating bone repair strategies, studying bone structures and biomechanics, and employing appropriate growth factors, suitable scaffolds, and biomaterial‐centered regenerative approaches can be employed to treat bone defects more effectively. This study reviews some recent bone‐tissue‐engineering strategies relying on two‐dimensional (2D) materials, including graphene and its derivatives, black phosphorus, and MXenes that are exhibiting a great potential in regenerative medicine.

AbstractAimThe centre‐periphery hypothesis (CPH) explains the decline of species abundance towards range limits and how this is driven by increasing ecological marginality. So far, most studies testing the CPH have focused on abiotic factors contributing to marginality, while the role of biotic interactions in limiting species distribution has been neglected. Here, we investigate both drivers' roles in restricting an orchid's range along a broad environmental gradient.LocationAtlantic Forest and Pampas grasslands (south and southeastern Brazil).TaxaSand dune orchidEpidendrum fulgens(Orchidaceae).MethodsWe integrated empirical data on geographical distribution, pollinator richness and genetic diversity along the entire range of the species to investigate whether range limits match niche limits and whether habitat suitability declines towards low‐ and high‐latitude species ranges. We performed niche models to predict niche limits and used polynomial and linear regression models to investigate the associations between ecological niche and species range as well as to test the relationship between genetic‐derived metrics and the geographical and ecological distances.ResultsEcological conditions become more marginal towards the edges of theE. fulgensrange, with an abrupt variation in precipitation. While pollinator richness increases habitat suitability ofE. fulgensin the low‐latitude edge range, climate has primarily shaped the species' high‐latitude limit. Genetic diversity within populations decreases, while genetic differentiation increases towards both margins, although with a more consistent pattern for the low‐latitudinal component.Main ConclusionsThis study corroborates the predictions of CPH regarding ecological and genetic patterns of variation in space and highlights distinct factors limiting geographical distribution at the opposite margins of a latitudinal and narrowly distributed species. This improves our understanding on how biotic and abiotic variables limit species distribution ranges along latitudinal gradients in an extremely diverse and vulnerable tropical ecosystem, with potential for informing conservation practices.

AbstractBackgroundIt is unclear if the location of implantation of the leadless pacemaker (LP) makes a difference in the incidence of pacing‐induced cardiomyopathy (PICM).AimThe aim of this study was to compare the incidence of PICM based on the location of implantation of LP.MethodsA total of 358 consecutive patients [women: 171 (48%), mean age: 73 ± 15 years] with left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) > 50%, who received an LP (Micra) between January 2017 and June 2022, formed the study cohort. Micra‐AV and Micra‐VR were implanted in 122 (34%) and 236 (66%) patients, respectively. Fluoroscopically, the location of implantation of LP in the interventricular septum (IS) was divided into two equal halves (apex/apical septum [AS] and mid/high septum [HS]). During follow‐up, PICM was defined as an EF drop of ≥10%.ResultsLP was implanted in 109 (34%) and 249 (66%) patients at AS and HS locations, respectively. During a mean 18 ± 8 months follow‐up, 28 patients (7.8%) developed PICM. Among the 249 patients with HS placement of LP, 10 (4%) developed PICM, whereas among the 109 patients with AS placement of LP, 18 (16.5%) developed PICM (p = .002). AS location was associated with a higher risk of PICM compared to HS locations (adjusted hazard ratio: 4.42, p < .001).ConclusionAS location of LP was associated with a higher risk of PICM compared to HS placement. Larger randomized studies are needed to confirm our findings.

AbstractThe aim of this meta‐analysis was to determine whether relationship self‐regulation (changing aspects of the self for the sake of the relationship) or partner regulation (changing the partner for the sake of the self/relationship) was more strongly associated with romantic relationship quality. Twenty studies (5 on relationship self‐regulation, 15 on partner regulation; N = 15,563) were included. A moderate positive association was found between relationship self‐regulation and relationship quality (r = .42). A weak positive association was found between positive partner regulation and relationship quality (r = .14). A negative association was found between negative partner regulation strategies and relationship quality (r = −.22). Partner regulation strategies were unlikely to be successful in prompting change in targeted partners. A weak positive association was found between positive strategies and regulation success (r = .10), and a weak negative association was found between negative strategies and regulation success (r = −.09). Thus, relationship self‐regulation is more strongly associated with relationship quality than partner regulation.

Published: May 2023

AbstractChronic pelvic pain (CPP) is the most debilitating symptom of gynaecological disorders such as endometriosis. However, it remains unclear how sensory neurons from pelvic organs affected by endometriosis, such as the female reproductive tract, detect and transmit nociceptive events and how these signals are processed within the central nervous system (CNS). Using a previously characterized mouse model of endometriosis, we investigated whether the increased pain sensitivity occurring in endometriosis could be attributed to (i) changes in mechanosensory properties of sensory afferents innervating the reproductive tract, (ii) alterations in sensory input from reproductive organs to the spinal cord or (iii) neuroinflammation and sensitization of spinal neural circuits. Mechanosensitivity of vagina‐innervating primary afferents was examined using an ex vivo single‐unit extracellular recording preparation. Nociceptive signalling from the vagina to the spinal cord was quantified by phosphorylated MAP kinase ERK1/2 immunoreactivity. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine glial and neuronal circuit alterations within the spinal cord. We found that sensory afferents innervating the rostral, but not caudal portions of the mouse vagina, developed mechanical hypersensitivity in endometriosis. Nociceptive signalling from the vagina to the spinal cord was significantly enhanced in mice with endometriosis. Moreover, mice with endometriosis developed microgliosis, astrogliosis and enhanced substance P neurokinin‐1 receptor immunoreactivity within the spinal cord, suggesting the development of neuroinflammation and sensitization of spinal circuitry in endometriosis. These results demonstrate endometriosis‐induced neuroplasticity occurring at both peripheral and central sites of sensory afferent pathways. These findings may help to explain the altered sensitivity to pain in endometriosis and provide a novel platform for targeted pain relief treatments for this debilitating disorder.image

AbstractIntroductionTemporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a common and debilitating condition that affects millions of people globally. Despite extensive research on TMDs, the exact causes of these conditions remain unclear. However, various factors, including genetics, injury and stress, have been implicated in their development. In addition to these traditional risk factors, the literature suggests that socioeconomic status (SES) may also play a role in the development and progression of TMDs. By synthesizing the available evidence, this review will provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of SES in TMDs and will inform the development of targeted interventions to reduce the burden of these disorders among individuals with lower SES.MethodsWe conducted this systematic review followed the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) 2020. PubMed, Scopus and Lilacs were searched using the terms: ((socio‐economic status OR economic status) AND (temporomandibular disorders OR temporomandibular joint) from the inception until February 10, 2023. We applied the following questions: (P) Participants consisted of human subjects. (E) The Exposure consisted of low economic stats. (C) The Comparison: subjects reporting low economic status were compared to subjects reporting medium–high economic status. (O) The Outcome consisted of TMDs diagnosis. Review Manager version 5.2.8 (Cochrane Collaboration; 2014) software was applied to perform the pooled analysis.ResultsThe included subjects in this review were 14 607. Among them, 631 reported a low economic income, 1880 a medium–high economic income, 4617 were blue‐collar workers and 7478 were white‐collar workers or entrepreneurs. Among those reporting a low economic income or belonging to the blue‐collar workers 12.93% (679/5248) presented sign/symptoms of TMD or a diagnosis of TMD whereas 10.6% (997/9358) of those with a high economic income/white‐collar worker.ConclusionWe observed a slightly higher prevalence of TMD among individuals with a low economic income Further research is needed to better understand this relationship and to develop effective interventions to reduce the burden of TMD among individuals with low income.

AbstractObjectivesConfocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a novel non‐invasive point‐of‐care optical biopsy technology that enables real‐time in vivo microscopic visualisation of cellular and tissue architecture. In this study, we assessed the diagnostic accuracy of a hand‐held fluorescence single‐fibre distal‐scanning CLE (fsdCLE) platform for diagnosing oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).Materials and MethodsForty‐seven patients presenting with 63 distinct oral mucosal lesions were subjected to optical biopsy using a miniaturised fsdCLE system (ViewnVivo®, Optiscan Imaging Ltd) and topical exogenous acriflavine hydrochloride contrast agent before undergoing tissue biopsy and histopathological consensus review by four pathologists. CLE images were captured in vivo in real‐time during clinical examination and assessed on‐the‐fly for the presence of cellular and architectural features of OED/OSCC offering an instantaneous diagnosis. Predicted optical diagnoses were compared to definitive consensus tissue histopathology. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy were calculated for the presence/absence of dysplasia/malignancy on optical biopsy. Percentage agreement, Fleiss' kappa, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated for each assessment stage during the consensus histopathology process.ResultsDiagnostic accuracy was extremely high at 88.9%. Other metrics were sensitivity 86.8%, specificity 92%, PPV 94.3% and NPV 82.1%. One hundred percent of carcinoma cases were detected accurately using CLE in the clinic.ConclusionfsdCLE is a highly accurate, easy‐to‐use, rapid and slide‐free point‐of‐care in vivo optical technology for diagnosing OED/OSCC and discriminating between dysplastic and non‐dysplastic pathology. It demonstrates near‐perfect agreement with traditional consensus histopathology without the need for physical tissue biopsy.
Maternal depression, parental attributions, and adolescent psychopathology: An evaluation using observational and video‐mediated recall methods

Published: May 2023

AbstractParenting styles associated with maternal depression are a risk factor for adolescent psychopathology, and maternal attributional styles may be a key mechanism in this relationship. Mother‐adolescent dyads (N = 180; 96 male; ages 10–15) completed in‐person interactions and then the mothers participated in a video‐mediated recall procedure to assess maternal attributions. Maternal depression was associated with negative attributions. Negative attributions were associated with low parental acceptance, aggressive parenting, and low positive parenting. Positive maternal attributions were associated with less aggressive parenting, and more positive parenting during one interaction task. Adolescent externalizing behaviors were associated with negative attributions. Future research should evaluate whether maternal attributions mediate the association between maternal depression and both parenting behaviors and adolescent mental health.
Rural disparities impact response to a web‐based physical activity self‐management intervention in COPD: A secondary analysis

Published: May 2023

AbstractPurposeThis secondary exploratory analysis examined rural‐urban differences in response to a web‐based physical activity self‐management intervention for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).MethodsParticipants with COPD (N = 239 US Veterans) were randomized to either a multicomponent web‐based intervention (goal setting, iterative feedback of daily step counts, motivational and educational information, and an online community forum) or waitlist‐control for 4 months with a 12‐month follow‐up. General linear modeling estimated the impact of rural/urban status (using Rural‐Urban Commuting Area [RUCA] codes) on (1) 4‐ and 12‐month daily step‐count change compared to waitlist‐control, and (2) intervention engagement (weekly logons and participant feedback).FindingsRural (n = 108) and urban (n = 131) participants’ mean age was 66.7±8.8 years. Rural/urban status significantly moderated 4‐month change in daily step counts between randomization groups (p = 0.041). Specifically, among urban participants, intervention participants improved by 1500 daily steps more than waitlist‐control participants (p = 0.001). There was no difference among rural participants. In the intervention group, rural participants engaged less with the step‐count graphs on the website than urban participants at 4 months (p = 0.019); this difference dissipated at 12 months. More frequent logons were associated with greater change in daily step counts (p = 0.004); this association was not moderated by rural/urban status.ConclusionsThe web‐based intervention was effective for urban, but not rural, participants at 4 months. Rural participants were also less engaged at 4 months, which may explain differences in effectiveness. Technology‐based interventions can help address urban‐rural disparities in patients with COPD, but may also contribute to them unless resources are available to support engagement with the technology.
Face-work in Chinese routine criminal trials
Authors: Li Sitao 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis article examines the performative aspect of face-to-face interactions among various legal actors and defendants in routine criminal trials in China. Using 105 trial videos as empirical data, the author develops a face-work framework to understand how an individual judge's “face”—signifying judges' legal and political roles, and their professional status—is established, protected, and enhanced during courtroom interactions. The study shows that the legal face of judges can be established by some characterizations of the nature of criminal trials such as the demarcation of legal space, the speed of the trial, and the apprising of rights to the defendants. Nevertheless, the legal face can also be disrupted by trial interactions due to judges' lack of judicial authority. Hence, Chinese judges maintain their authority through the establishment of their political face. They also use both their political face and legal face to establish their situational professional status. These interactions often lead to punitive and coercive measures against defendants in trials. While the article focuses on routine criminal trials in China, the face-work framework has the potential to explain courtroom interactions in other types of social contexts and legal proceedings.
Studying Up from the Margins in a white‐supremacist‐cis‐hetero‐patriarchal‐capitalist culture1
Authors: Valdez Natali 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis article examines the citational politics of teaching, learning, and doing ethnographic projects that study up in medical anthropology by examining the references that are often cited, the ones that exist but are not widely circulated, and the gaps in between. I take a reflexive approach to understanding how my positionality shaped my path toward studying up. In so doing, I reveal the complex tensions of implementing ethnographic methods in spaces that are (intentionally) challenging to access while simultaneously being embedded within academic and social environments that are plagued by hierarchical power relations. My approach critically examines the liberal, feminist, and Marxist legacies in anthropology that have shaped traditional forms of studying up and highlights the Black, Indigenous, postcolonial, and feminist methods that are vital for understanding how to study power from the margins.
