Published: January 2025

AbstractTo provide a comprehensive and updated mapping of observational studies assessing the relationship between periodontitis and systemic diseases through a bibliometric and visual analysis. A search was conducted using the Web of Science database, covering the period 1989 to 2024. The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) from the US National Library of Medicine was used to categorize systemic conditions, focusing on terms unrelated to stomatognathic diseases. The analysis included keyword co‐occurrence mapping, co‐authorship, bibliographic coupling, and co‐citation analysis. Quality indicators such as silhouette score, modularity, and centrality were considered to assess the network's quality. The research strategy identified 6106 records, of which 1519 met the inclusion criteria. The analysis revealed that 46.73% of the literature on the topic was published in the last 5 years and that the annual publication trend peaked in 2023. Nutritional & Metabolic Diseases (n = 398), Cardiovascular Diseases (n = 335), Female Urogenital Diseases & Pregnancy Complications (n = 244), and Musculoskeletal Diseases (n = 182) were the most representative categories of systemic diseases associated with periodontitis. The most co‐cited journals on the topic were the Journal of Periodontology (n = 1412), the Journal of Clinical Periodontology (n = 1343), the Journal of Dental Research (n = 940), and Periodontology 2000 (n = 849). The USA, China, Brazil, and Sweden were the countries that contributed the most to the number of publications. The analysis conducted in the present study revealed a growing trend of observational studies evaluating the association between periodontitis and systemic diseases, highlighting the negative impact of periodontitis on a plethora of systemic conditions and a rising translational interest in this relationship. With an aging population, periodontitis is expected to affect a growing number of people in the coming decades, presenting significant challenges to public health. Improved knowledge is, therefore, essential to enable more comprehensive care, preventive strategies, and optimal oral health for patients with periodontitis.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTDigital aquaculture leverages advanced technologies and data‐driven methods, providing substantial benefits over traditional aquaculture practices. This article presents a comprehensive review of three interconnected digital aquaculture tasks, namely, fish tracking, counting, and behaviour analysis, using a novel and unified approach. Unlike previous reviews which focused on single modalities or individual tasks, we analyse vision‐based (i.e., image‐ and video‐based), acoustic‐based, and biosensor‐based methods across all three tasks. We examine their advantages, limitations, and applications, highlighting recent advancements and identifying critical cross‐cutting research gaps. The review also includes emerging ideas such as applying multitask learning and large language models to address various aspects of fish monitoring, an approach not previously explored in aquaculture literature. We identify the major obstacles hindering research progress in this field, including the scarcity of comprehensive fish datasets and the lack of unified evaluation standards. To overcome the current limitations, we explore the potential of using emerging technologies such as multimodal data fusion and deep learning to improve the accuracy, robustness, and efficiency of integrated fish monitoring systems. In addition, we provide a summary of existing datasets available for fish tracking, counting, and behaviour analysis. This holistic perspective offers a roadmap for future research, emphasizing the need for comprehensive datasets and evaluation standards to facilitate meaningful comparisons between technologies and to promote their practical implementations in real‐world settings.
A Tropist Relational Account of Hallucinations
Authors: Gu Zhiwei 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTI propose a tropist relational account of hallucinations in which the subject stands in relation to an instantiated trope complex. Philosophers typically maintain that hallucinations lack appropriate ordinary objects, thus rendering a relational account, which requires an actual relatum, impossible. While ordinary objects are indeed absent in hallucinations, I argue that an actually instantiated trope complex is available and sufficient to account for the phenomenology of hallucinations. The main challenge for a tropist relational account lies in explaining how an actually instantiated trope complex can exist without being owned by any individual object. Drawing on Donald Williams's trope theory, I develop a tropist conception of instantiation that does not require a concrete particular or an individual as the property bearer. This conception of instantiation effectively explains the absence of apparently existing hallucinated objects.
Once Upon a Lesbian Theory
Authors: Mallette Wendy 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT“Once Upon a Lesbian Theory” analyzes how stories told about the origins of queer theory can distort and exclude, extending Kent Brintnall's “Once Upon a Queer Theory” in a lesbian key. I first consider the fate of lesbian theory as it emerges within one dominant mode of queer storytelling: the progress narrative. I trace the racial and temporal politics of this story across queer theory, religious studies, and theology. Next, I turn to two literary critics, Barbara Christian and Barbara Johnson, to glean two approaches to lesbian theory. In the concluding section, I go looking for lesbian theory, considering sites, sources, and archives for lesbian theorizing within religious studies and theology. “Once Upon a Lesbian Theory” is ultimately a fabled story that invites us to think about the complicities, contradictions, and desires that shape the stories we tell about lesbian, trans, and queer theory.
Investigating the Roles of Gender, Age, and Sport Characteristics on School and Sport Burnout in Finnish Lower Secondary School Student Athletes

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTSchool sport programs for lower secondary school in Finland (i.e., Grades 7–9) show great promise in helping student athletes prepare for careers in both sport and academic pursuits. However, it has also been found that participation in these programs is highly competitive and demanding and may result in poor mental health outcomes like burnout for some students. The purpose of the current study was to investigate how burnout in sport and school in Finnish lower secondary school students was associated with gender, age, training loads, level of competition, and sport type. A sample of 856 lower secondary school students (Grades 7–9, ages 13–15 years old) completed measures of sport and school burnout and provided information on their demographics and sport. Gender, age, training loads, level of competition, and sport type predicted a small but significant portion of variance in sport‐related exhaustion, cynicism, and inadequacy, and in school‐related exhaustion, but not school cynicism or inadequacy. Females and student athletes with higher training loads generally reported higher levels of burnout, while only a small number of effects related to age, competition level, and type of sport were observed. Lower secondary sports schools in Finland might aim to understand the difficulties encountered by student athletes, particularly females and those with higher training loads. This understanding can guide them in taking informed, practical measures to safeguard the mental health of these students and optimize their performance both academically and athletically.
In Tune With the Times? When Neo‐Peasants Choose Animal Traction to be Part of a More Sustainable Production Model
Authors: Miara Maurice , Boudes Philippe , Gafsi Mohamed , Rabier Thierry 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTAs regards alternative agricultural practices today, it is worth noticing the increase in the use of animal traction (AT) in France. Yet, the reasons for this reappropriation remain unclear. The life paths and motivations of users are the focus of this article. The study is based on 33 qualitative interviews with French farmers. It uses Gasson's theoretical framework and a life course analysis. Findings show that farmers who have chosen AT first tend to question the agricultural model. They can be described as neo‐rurals motivated by their political opinions, a desire for greater autonomy and their passion for horses. These neo‐peasants have opted for animal‐drawn cultivation because they reject the main agricultural system and wish to create a new connection with nature. This study is also addressed to policymakers and people advocating more sustainable agricultural practices in general.
Coherency properties for monoids of transformations and partitions
Authors: Brookes Matthew , Gould Victoria , Ruškuc Nik 
Published: January 2025

AbstractA monoid is right coherent if every finitely generated subact of every finitely presented right ‐act itself has a finite presentation; it is weakly right coherent if every finitely generated right ideal of has a finite presentation. We show that full and partial transformation monoids, symmetric inverse monoids and partition monoids over an infinite set are all weakly right coherent, but that none of them is right coherent. Left coherency and weak left coherency are defined dually, and the corresponding results hold for these properties. In order to prove the non‐coherency results, we give a presentation of an inverse semigroup which does not embed into any left or right coherent monoid.

Authors: Schultz Brendan V. , Barker Timothy H. , Bosley Emma , Munn Zachary 
Published: January 2025

Objective:
This scoping review will aim to determine the methodological rigor and quality of out-of-hospital clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) by collating and describing all literature that assessed these documents using a structured appraisal instrument.

Introduction:
In the out-of-hospital setting, the provision of emergency health care by paramedics and first responders is guided, directed, or informed by localized, overarching CPGs. Numerous CPGs in this setting have been assessed for their methodological rigor and overall quality using an appraisal instrument. However, a summation of the overall standard of guidelines within this space has yet to be described.

Inclusion criteria:
This scoping review will consider all primary and secondary peer-reviewed research that has used a structured appraisal instrument to assess the overall quality of CPGs designed specifically for the out-of-hospital setting. Studies that have assessed CPGs designed for in-hospital environments, such as emergency departments, critical care units, or surgical wards, will be excluded.

Methods:
This review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. The following databases and/or information sources will be searched: MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL with Full Text (EBSCOhost), Scopus, and ProQuest Central (ProQuest). No publication or language limits will be applied. Study selection and data extraction will be performed independently by 2 reviewers, with any disagreements resolved by discussion or with the involvement of an independent third reviewer. In instances where crucial data cannot be extracted, the corresponding author of the article will be contacted. Data will be analyzed using basic descriptive techniques and will be presented in both tabular and diagrammatic formats, accompanied by a narrative description.

Load-Bearing Wing Structures Inspired by Natural Cellular Materials
Authors: Ebad Sichani Sepideh , Ning Xin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper presents the optimization frameworks for designing cellular internal structures of an aircraft wing subjected to aerodynamic loads. Inspired by natural cellular materials, this study employs lattice and foam cells as the internal structures of the aircraft wing. The distribution of the cell materials is optimized by minimizing the mass and maximizing the stiffness while avoiding the global buckling of the wing. The optimization variables for the lattice structure are the cell size distribution field and the strut radii (or cell face thicknesses). Various weighting factor combinations are applied to the two competing objectives to obtain the optimal solution, considering different priorities of reducing mass or increasing stiffness. The results demonstrate that the wings with optimized cellular internal structures have higher structural efficiency than the reference wings with uniform cellular internal structures. The optimized wings also achieve higher structural efficiency than conventional wing designs when requiring heavy loading or a balanced tradeoff between load-bearing capacity and mass.

ABSTRACT

This Phase 1 trial described the intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics and safety profile of IV fosfomycin in healthy participants
.
Fosfomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic mainly used to treat urinary tract infections, is being considered for treatment of more complex conditions, including lung infections, due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms. Despite its potential, the pharmacokinetics and safety profile of intravenous (IV) fosfomycin, particularly its penetration into the lower respiratory tract, are unknown. To address this gap, we conducted a Phase 1, open-label trial to assess the safety and pulmonary pharmacokinetics of IV fosfomycin in healthy participants. Thirty-seven healthy volunteers aged 18–45 years received three doses of 6 g IV fosfomycin every 8 hours. Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed at randomly assigned time points after the third dose. BAL fluid, BAL cell pellets, and blood plasma samples for fosfomycin were analyzed using validated assays of liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Adverse events (AEs) were assessed. Fosfomycin exhibited penetration into alveolar macrophages (AM) at a rate of 16.8% and into the extracellular lining fluid (ELF) at 30.8%. Mean AM fosfomycin concentration ranged from 14.8 to 32 μg/mL, while the mean ELF concentration ranged from 15.7 to 82.5 μg/mL. All participants experienced at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), mostly mild/grade 1, with no serious adverse events (SAEs) reported. Intravenous fosfomycin effectively penetrates both the extracellular (ELF) and intracellular (AM) compartments of the lower respiratory tract in healthy participants. The overall tolerability of IV fosfomycin was favorable, suggesting its potential as an effective antibacterial treatment for lower respiratory tract infections.

ObjectiveIncreased screen time has resulted in widespread computer vision syndrome (CVS) in the digital era. Medical students, who rely heavily on digital screens, are particularly at risk. Our study aims to evaluate the prevalence of CVS among Jordanian medical students, which is a gap in existing knowledge.DesignCross-sectional studySettingNational multicentre study conducted across six universities in Jordan.ParticipantsMedical students from first to sixth year.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrimary outcome: Prevalence of CVS among medical students in Jordan.Secondary outcomes: Identification of risk factors associated with CVS, assessment of the correlation between screen time and the severity of CVS symptoms.ResultsThe prevalence of CVS among medical students was 56.3%. Among the 833 participants, 543 were females (65.2%) and 290 were males (34.8%). The CVS group reported a median of five symptoms, whereas two symptoms were reported in the non-CVS group (p<0.001). Compared with males, females reported significantly more symptoms (p<0.001). Dry eyes (26.3%) and headaches (25.9%) were the most reported symptoms. Continuous screen use was associated with CVS group status (p=0.008). Moderate positive correlations were found between the number of symptoms and the frequency of monthly symptom attacks and between the duration and frequency of symptom attacks (p<0.001).ConclusionOur study found a 56.3% prevalence of CVS among Jordanian medical students, with over 80% having ocular and extraocular symptoms. Symptoms, attack duration and frequency were higher, especially in females, highlighting the need for preventive measures and increased awareness about prolonged screen use.

Published: January 2025

ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the effect of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) on vascular luminal dilatational remodeling (VLDR) following simple balloon angioplasty.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from patients diagnosed with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), who were treated exclusively with balloon angioplasty at Henan Provincial People’s Hospital between June 2019 and April 2023. Inverse probability weighting (IPW) was used to create balanced cohorts of patients who underwent drug-coated balloon angioplasty (DCBA) and plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA). The primary endpoint was VLDR occurrence during follow-up, with the effect of DCBA on VLDR assessed by adjusted multivariate regression.ResultsThe study included 110 patients who underwent simple percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, with 60 in the DCBA group and 50 in the POBA group. At follow-up, the stenosis rate in the DCBA group was lower than in the POBA group (P<0.001). The decrease in stenosis rate (DSR) was greater in the DCBA group compared with the POBA group (P<0.001). Nineteen patients (31.7%) in the DCBA group experienced VLDR, whereas only four (8%) in the POBA group developed VLDR, a statistically significant difference (P=0.002). After IPW adjustment, differences in stenosis rate (34.17 (20.00, 46.72) vs 46.00 (37.88, 70.00), P<0.001), DSR (-1.66 (-16.71, 11.40) vs -18.00 (-28.00, -3.00), P<0.001) and VLDR incidence (32.2% vs 9.9%, P<0.001) between the DCBA and POBA groups remained significant. Multivariate regression analysis identified DCBA as an independent factor influencing VLDR occurrence.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that, compared with POBA, DCBA increases VLDR occurrence in ICAS patients during follow-up.

Authors: Marsala Michael J. , Kells Alicia M. , Christie Anita D. 
Published: January 2025

Motor unit firing rate (MUFR) and pennation angle were measured concurrently in males and females from submaximal to maximal intensities. Thirty participants, (16 female, 14 male) performed isometric dorsiflexion contractions at 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). During each contraction, measures of MUFR were obtained via surface electromyography decomposition, and muscle fiber pennation angle and fascicle length were obtained via ultrasound. There was no significant interaction effect of sex and contraction intensity present for mean MUFR ( p = 0.24), pennation angle ( p = 0.98), or fascicle length ( p = 0.81). Males had greater mean MUFR ( p < 0.001), pennation angle ( p = 0.02), and fascicle length ( p = 0.03) compared to females. In general, mean MUFR ( p < 0.001) and pennation angle ( p < 0.02) increased with increasing contraction intensity; however, fascicle length ( p = 0.30) was similar across contraction intensities. There were no significant relationships between mean MUFR and pennation angle for males ( r = 0.18, p = 0.13) or females ( r = 0.20, p = 0.09), nor between mean MUFR and fascicle length for males ( r = 0.20, p = 0.10) or females ( r = 0.21, p = 0.07). Although sex-related differences in MUFR, pennation angle, and fascicle length were present, there were no relationships between MUFR and the muscle properties. These results suggest that sex-related differences in mean MUFR may not be associated with the sex-related differences in the muscle architectural properties currently investigated.
