Published: February 2023

AbstractA multifunctional double‐perovskite‐type Ca2LnSbO6 (Ln = La, Y, Gd, and Lu) phosphors with Eu3+ and Mn4+ co‐doped were successfully synthesized and designed to simultaneously apply to temperature sensing and plant growth LED. With temperature varying from 303 to 523 K, the integrated intensity of Mn4+ ions (2Eg → 4A2g) markedly decline swifter comparing to Eu3+ ions (5D0 → 7F2) due to the thermal quenching effect. It implies that Mn4+ is susceptive to the temperature in this work. Eu3+ exhibits high heat resistance, which can be selected as a calibration parameter for the fluorescence intensity ratio temperature sensor. The maximum relative sensitivity (Sr) values of Ca2LnSbO6:1%Eu3+, 0.5%Mn4+ (Ln = La, Y, and Gd) phosphor are estimated as 2.19% K−1 at 443 K, 1.68% K−1 at 503 K, and 1.80% K−1 at 483 K, respectively. They are superior to many recent emerging phosphors. Moreover, upon 365 nm excitation, Ca2LnSbO6:1%Eu, 0.5%Mn (Ln = La, Y, Gd, and Lu) phosphors display a wide red emission peaking at 696, 680, 677, and 684 nm, respectively. They come from the overlapped of 2Eg–4A2g of Mn4+ and 5D0–7F4 transition of Eu3+. Their full widths at half maximum are 34, 35, 35, and 29 nm, respectively. They are all perfectly overlapping the absorption curves of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, and their fabricated red phosphor‐converted light‐emitting diode device ulteriorly corroborated the promising applications for plant growth. Markedly, the systematic analysis of their crystal chemistry and site preferentially occupancy is first reported and discussed by the bond valence theory.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to explore the associated factors and hemodynamic characteristics of resistant hypertension (RHTN) in the elderly. A total of 283 patients aged ≥60 years with hypertension were evaluated by the CNAP™ monitor. Among them, 240 patients were non‐RHTN (controlled hypertension with use of three or fewer antihypertensive medications) and 43 patients were RHTN (uncontrolled hypertension despite the concurrent use of ≥3 antihypertensive drugs at optimized doses, including a diuretic, or achieving target blood pressure with the use of ≥4 antihypertensive medications). RHTN was associated with higher body mass index (BMI), longer hypertension duration, and coronary heart disease (p = .004, p < .001, and p = .042, respectively). The mean number of antihypertensive medications was greater in patients with RHTN (p < .001). Hemodynamic analysis revealed higher cardiac output in the RHTN group than in the non‐RHTN group, while no difference was observed in systemic vascular resistance. Screening for secondary etiology showed that, among the 43 patients with RHTN, 8 (18.6%) had chronic kidney disease, 8 (18.6%) had obstructive sleep apnea, 4 (9.3%) had primary aldosteronism, 2 (4.7%) had renovascular disease. No significant differences were observed in the cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance values between different causes of RHTN. These findings suggest that higher body mass index, longer hypertension duration, and coronary heart disease emerged as the associated factors of RHTN in the elderly. RHTN is characterized by higher cardiac output. Screening for the possible secondary etiology of RHTN in the elderly patients is necessary and important.
Diversity and characteristics of commercial Red Sea fish species based on fish market survey: informing management to reduce the risk of overfishing

Published: February 2023

AbstractIn small‐scale fisheries (SSFs), where the sampling of many small boats and landing sites sometimes is not practical, fish market surveys represent an alternative way to obtain key fisheries data. This study analyses the diversity and characteristics of commercial Red Sea fish species landed in the Egyptian coast, including family, species‐specific abundance, biomass, size and price by surveying the largest local fish market on the Egyptian Red Sea coast, over the course of a year (July 2021–June 2022) to also reflect any seasonality of these variables. Based on 53 survey visits, a total of 131,795 fish individuals, belonging to 111 species, and 22 families, were identified, recorded and measured. The analysis focused on the 60 most abundant species (104,420 individuals, 15 families). The surveys revealed that the most abundant families were Serranidae, Lethrinidae and Scaridae. Carangidae also was one of the most important families in terms of biomass. The most abundant species were Lethrinus mahsena, Sargocentron spiniferum and Lethrinus nebulosus. About 60% of revenue comes from the four families Serranidae, Lethrinidae, Scaridae and Lutjanidae. In terms of prices, the most expensive categories were species belonging to Serranidae, Lethrinidae and Lutjanidae families, such as Plectropomus pessuliferus marisrubri, Argyrops spinifer, L. nebulosus and Variola louti. The overall mean prices were higher in spring and summer months likely due to tourism flows. The mean size of many species, including the most valuable and abundant ones, is below the length of maturity. These results provide important benchmarks for monitoring future changes and shed important insights for fisheries management. Co‐organised Dutch auctions would provide reliable data when combined with a strict monitoring effort to avoid any sale of the catch outside these official auctions. Other monitoring tools and methods are also recommended in the discussion.

AbstractCharcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease (CMT) reduces health‐related quality of life (QOL) in children. We have previously developed and validated the English and Italian versions of the pediatric CMT‐specific QOL outcome measure (pCMT‐QOL) for children aged 8 to 18. There is currently no parent‐proxy CMT QOL outcome measure for use in clinical trials, which could provide complementary information in these children and adolescents. This study describes the validation studies conducted to develop the parent‐proxy version of the pCMT‐QOL outcome measure for children aged 8 to 18 years old. Development and validation of the parent‐proxy version of the pCMT‐QOL outcome measure for children aged 8 to 18 years old was iterative, involving identifying relevant domains, item pool generation, prospective pilot testing and clinical assessments, structured focus‐group interviews, and psychometric testing, conducted on parents of children with CMT seen at participating sites from the USA, United Kingdom, and Australia. We utilized previously described methods to develop a working parent‐proxy version of the pCMT‐QOL measure. From 2010 to 2016, the parent‐proxy pCMT‐QOL working version was administered to 358 parents of children with CMT aged 8 to 18, seen at the participating study sites of the Inherited Neuropathies Consortium. The resulting data underwent rigorous psychometric analysis, including factor analysis, test‐retest reliability, internal consistency, convergent validity, IRT analysis, and longitudinal analysis, to develop the final parent‐proxy version of the pCMT‐QOL outcome measure for children aged 8 to 18 years old. The parent‐proxy version of the pCMT‐QOL outcome measure is a reliable, valid, and sensitive proxy measure of health‐related QOL for children aged 8 to 18 with CMT.

Published: February 2023

AbstractEndometriosis is a serious, chronic disorder where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, causing severe pelvic pain and infertility. It affects 11% of women. Endometriosis is a multifactorial disorder of unclear etiology, although retrograde menstruation plays a major role. It has a genetic component with over 40 genetic risk factors mapped, although their mechanism of action is still emerging. New evidence suggests a role for retrograde menstruation of endometrial stem/progenitor cells, now that identifying markers of these cells are available. Recent lineage tracing and tissue clearing microscopy and 3D reconstruction has provided new understanding of endometrial glandular structure, particularly the horizontal orientation and interconnection of basalis glands. New sequencing technologies, particularly whole genome DNA sequencing are revealing somatic mutations, including in cancer driver genes, in normal and eutopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis, as well as ectopic endometriotic lesions. Methylome sequencing is offering insight into the regulation of genes and the role of the environmental factors. Single cell RNA sequencing reveals the transcriptome of individual endometrial cells, shedding new light on the diversity and range of cellular subpopulations of the major cell types present in the endometrium and in endometriotic lesions. New endometrial epithelial organoid cultures replicating glandular epithelium are providing tractable models for studying endometriosis. Organoids derived from menstrual fluid offer a non‐invasive source of endometrial tissue and a new avenue for testing drugs and developing personalized medicine for treating endometriosis. These new approaches are rapidly advancing our understanding of endometriosis etiology.

AbstractBackgroundPregnancy‐related anatomic, physiologic, and hormonal factors can occur at different stages of pregnancy and affect sleep disturbances. Sleep problems and habits among Japanese women across gestational stages have not been described. This study aimed to elucidate sleep problems, including a high risk of sleep‐disordered breathing and sleep habits, among Japanese women across gestational progress, including postpartum.MethodsA questionnaire survey using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Berlin Questionnaire was conducted for 683 pregnant women (223 in the second trimester, 453 in the third trimester) and 386 postpartum (within 1 week after delivery).ResultsThe total PSQI score was 5.3 [2.6] in the second trimester, 6.1 [2.8] in the third trimester, and 6.8 [3.1] in the first week postpartum. The percentage of those at high risk for sleep‐disordered breathing, as determined by the Berlin Questionnaire, was 11.8% in the second trimester, 21.3% in the third trimester, and 19.2% in the first week postpartum, with the highest percentage of those at high risk in the third trimester of pregnancy.ConclusionThe PSQI total score exceeded the cut‐off value in the third trimester and the first week postpartum, suggesting sleep deterioration. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and support sleep in pregnant women to ensure safe delivery, postpartum recovery, and health.
A socio‐legal quest: from jurisprudence to sociology of law and back again
Authors: COTTERRELL ROGER 
Published: February 2023

AbstractHow should socio‐legal studies view jurisprudence, the legal theory of jurists? Jurisprudence's task is to promote law as a socially valuable idea taking various forms in different times and places. As a value‐oriented and context‐focused enterprise, it should draw on the social sciences to make its inquiries relevant in a changing socio‐legal world. Correspondingly, socio‐legal research needs theory to link its empirical inquiries to an overall sense of what can be hoped for from law as a social phenomenon. In different ways, jurisprudence and socio‐legal inquiry should help to theorize the nature of legal practice and legal experience. They are necessarily distinct enterprises with contrasting orientations, but they can aid each other in important ways.
Does dispositional preference for solitude predict better psychological outcomes during times of social distancing? Beliefs and reality
Authors: Ren Dongning , Stavrova Olga , Evans Anthony M. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractObjectivePeople value solitude for themselves. Yet little is known about how people perceive dispositional preference for solitude in others. Does dispositional preference for solitude represent a protective factor from psychological distress during times of social distancing? And do laypeople have accurate beliefs about the role of preference for solitude?MethodTo answer these questions, we conducted four studies (three preregistered, Ntotal = 1418) at the early and a later stage of the COVID‐19 pandemic using experimental, longitudinal, and experience sampling designs.ResultsPeople expected targets with a higher solitude preference to be more resilient (e.g., less lonely, more satisfied with life) during social distancing, and consequently prioritize them less when allocating supportive resources for maintaining social connections (Studies 1 and 2). Compared to these beliefs, the actual difference between individuals with higher versus lower solitude preference was smaller (Study 2) or even negligible (Study 3). Did people form more calibrated beliefs two years into the pandemic? Study 4 suggested no.ConclusionsTogether, these studies show that people overestimate the role of preference for solitude in predicting others' psychological experience. As a result, solitude‐seeking individuals may miss out on supportive resources, leading to higher risks for mental health issues.
All I missed in the therapeutic relationship: The lived experience narrative of a mental health nurse receiving mental healthcare
Authors: Martínez‐Martínez Concepción ,   Anonymous, Sánchez‐Martínez Vanessa 
Published: February 2023

Accessible SummaryWhat Is Known on the Subject?

The therapeutic relationship is crucial for mental health practice, especially to practice that is recovery‐orientated.

What the Paper Adds to Existing Knowledge?

This lived experience suggests that mental health professionals can be a long way from knowing the service users' feelings and their precise needs.

The narrative reveals how mental health professionals maintain stereotypes and prejudices against people with mental health conditions and how these are reflected in their practice through lack of respect and users' dignity.

What Are the Implications for Mental Health Nursing?

This lived experience narrative highlights the need to humanize care.

AbstractIntroductionThe therapeutic relationship is not always functional in clinical practice due to various factors, such as lack of time, lack of job motivation, exhaustion and rejection towards the person cared for.AimThe aim of this study is to illustrate to professionals the needs of the persons they care for and how they see the world.MethodThe aim was achieved through the development of a lived experience narrative.ResultsThis lived experience narrative describes the experience of a mental health nurse since her first psychotic symptoms and her perceptions of the therapeutic relationship with mental health staff in her trajectory from the first psychiatric appointment until her last contact with the community mental health services.DiscussionThis narrative suggests that mental health professionals are sometimes far from discovering what service users are feeling and their precise needs. This highlights the need to humanize mental healthcare.

AbstractBackgroundSerum 25‐hydroxyvitamin (OH)D, C‐reactive protein (CRP), and haptoglobin are useful biomarkers in various infectious diseases and inflammatory disorders in dogs, but their utility in histoplasmosis is unknown.ObjectiveDetermine if serum 25(OH)D, CRP, and haptoglobin concentrations are different in dogs with histoplasmosis compared to healthy controls and whether serum globulin, albumin, CRP, or haptoglobin are associated with 25(OH)D concentration.AnimalsTwenty‐two client‐owned dogs (histoplasmosis, n = 12; controls, n = 10).MethodsProspective case‐control study. Dogs with histoplasmosis were categorized as pulmonary, disseminated, or gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Serum 25(OH)D was measured using modified high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Serum CRP and haptoglobin were measured with ELISA assays.ResultsDogs with histoplasmosis were grouped as disseminated (n = 8) and GI tract (n = 4). No dogs had pulmonary tract involvement alone. Dogs with histoplasmosis (median, interquartile range [IQR]; 11.6 ng/mL, 16.8) had lower serum 25(OH)D concentrations than controls (35.7 ng/mL, 17.6; P < .001). Serum CRP and haptoglobin concentrations were higher in dogs with histoplasmosis (CRP: median, IQR; 63.5 mg/L, 37.1 and haptoglobin: 459.7 mg/dL, 419.6) than controls (CRP: 1.9 mg/L, 2; P < .001 and haptoglobin: 85.5 mg/dL, 106.7; P = .003). Serum 25(OH)D concentration was positively associated with fold change in serum albumin concentration (ρ = 0.77; P < .001), and negatively associated with fold change in serum globulin (ρ = −0.61; P = .003) and CRP concentrations (ρ = −0.56; P = .01).Conclusion and Clinical ImportanceAssay of serum 25(OH)D, CRP, and haptoglobin could have clinical value in dogs with histoplasmosis.
Homophily in voting behavior: Evidence from preferential voting
Authors: Coufalová Lucie , Mikula Štěpán , Ševčík Michal 
Published: February 2023

AbstractHomophily—the preference for people similar in their characteristics—is a strong determinant of many types of human relationships. It affects, for example, whom we marry and potentially also whom we vote for. We use data on preferential voting from eight (1996–2021) Czech parliamentary elections matched with census and administrative data to identify the effect of homophily on voting behavior. The Czech system of preferential voting is well suited to an analysis of homophilic preferences, as it enables us to filter out preferences for political parties and focus solely on candidates' individual background characteristics. We identify the effect of homophily on a sample of 6,844,538 observations from small municipalities that are not likely to be affected by potential electoral list optimization. We find that a 1 % increase in the share of a municipality's population whose education level or age are the same as the candidate's increases the number of preferential votes the given candidate receives by 0.5% or 0.2% respectively. We also find evidence for strong geographical homophily as living in the municipality substantially increases the number of preferential votes a candidate receives.
Combination of GM CSF and carbapenem is superior to carbapenem monotherapy in difficult‐to‐treat spontaneous bacterial peritonitis: A randomized controlled trial

Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundPatients with cirrhosis and treatment non‐responsive spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) have high mortality. We aimed to investigate whether GM‐CSF can improve SBP response rates.Patients and MethodsIn this open‐label RCT, 131 cirrhosis patients with difficult‐to‐treat SBP (DTT SBP) were randomized to receive meropenem alone (1 g IV thrice daily for 5 days) (MERO Group, n = 66) or in combination with GM‐CSF (1.5 mcg/Kg daily IV till resolution or till 5d) (MEROGM Group, n = 65). The primary end‐point was SBP early‐response (reduction in absolute neutrophil count (ANC) by >25% after 48 h). Secondary end‐points included SBP resolution at day 5.ResultsPatients in MEROGM group in comparison to MERO group had higher SBP early‐response (60% vs. 31.8%; p = .001) and SBP resolution rates (55.4% vs. 24.2%; p = .0003). Patients in the combination arm also had better resolution of pneumonia {8/17 (47.05%) vs. 2/19 (10.5%), p = .02} and lower incidence of new‐onset AKI (15.4% vs. 31.8%, p = .02), HE (18.5% vs. 34.8%, p = .04) and infections (21.5% vs. 37.9%, p = .05). In comparison to MERO group, 7‐day survival was higher in MEROGM group (89.2% vs. 78.7%, p = .03), though the 28‐day survival was comparable (78.4% vs. 71.2%; p = .66). None of the patients developed treatment‐related severe adverse effects requiring discontinuation of therapy.ConclusionsThe addition of GM‐CSF to meropenem significantly improves response rates in DTT SBP patients within 48 h. Early use of GMCSF modulates host immune response, and enhances antibiotic response with higher SBP resolution. The use of GMCSF needs to be considered in combating difficult SBP in cirrhosis patients.

AbstractWhole genome characterizations of crop plants based on ancient DNA have provided unique keys for a better understanding of the evolutionary origins of modern cultivars, the pace and mode of selection underlying their adaptation to new environments and the production of phenotypes of interest. Although forests are among the most biologically rich ecosystems on earth and represent a fundamental resource for human societies, no ancient genome sequences have been generated for trees. This contrasts with the generation of multiple ancient reference genomes for important crops. Here, we sequenced the first ancient tree genomes using two white oak wood remains from Germany dating to the Last Little Ice Age (15th century CE, 7.3× and 4.0×) and one from France dating to the Bronze Age (1700 BCE, 3.4×). We assessed the underlying species and identified one medieval remains as a hybrid between two common oak species (Quercus robur and Q. petraea) and the other two remains as Q. robur. We found that diversity at the global genome level had not changed over time. However, exploratory analyses suggested that a reduction of diversity took place at different time periods. Finally, we determined the timing of leaf unfolding for ancient trees for the first time. The study extends the application of ancient wood beyond the classical proxies of dendroclimatology, dendrochronology, dendroarchaeology and dendroecology, thereby enhancing resolution of inferences on the responses of forest ecosystems to past environmental changes, epidemics and silvicultural practices.
