Sensitivity to intrinsic rewards is domain general and related to mental health
Authors: Blain Bastien , Pinhorn India , Sharot Tali 
Published: September 2023

AbstractHumans frequently engage in intrinsically rewarding activities (for example, consuming art, reading). Despite such activities seeming diverse, we show that sensitivity to intrinsic rewards is domain general and associated with mental health. In this cross-sectional study, participants online (N = 483) were presented with putative visual, cognitive and social intrinsic rewards as well as monetary rewards and neutral stimuli. All rewards elicited positive feelings (were ‘liked’), generated consummatory behaviour (were ‘wanted’) and increased the likelihood of the action leading to them (were ‘reinforcing’). Factor analysis revealed that ~40% of response variance across stimuli was explained by a general sensitivity to all rewards, but not to neutral stimuli. Affective aspects of mental health were associated with sensitivity to intrinsic, but not monetary, rewards. These results may help explain thriving and suffering: individuals with high reward sensitivity will engage in a variety of intrinsically rewarding activities, eventually finding those they excel at, whereas low sensitivity individuals will not.

Four kinds of polar and metallic Janus monolayers derived from MoSi2N4 are for the first time reported to show large out-of-plane piezoelectric coefficients, owing to the weak coupling between electric polarity and metallicity.
Speech With Pauses Sounds Deceptive to Listeners With and Without Hearing Impairment
Authors: Patel Bindiya , Zhang Ziyun , McGettigan Carolyn , Belyk Michel 
Published: September 2023

Purpose:Communication is as much persuasion as it is the transfer of information. This creates a tension between the interests of the speaker and those of the listener, as dishonest speakers naturally attempt to hide deceptive speech and listeners are faced with the challenge of sorting truths from lies. Listeners with hearing impairment in particular may have differing levels of access to the acoustical cues that give away deceptive speech. A greater tendency toward speech pauses has been hypothesized to result from the cognitive demands of lying convincingly. Higher vocal pitch has also been hypothesized to mark the increased anxiety of a dishonest speaker.Method:Listeners with or without hearing impairments heard short utterances from natural conversations, some of which had been digitally manipulated to contain either increased pausing or raised vocal pitch. Listeners were asked to guess whether each statement was a lie in a two-alternative forced-choice task. Participants were also asked explicitly which cues they believed had influenced their decisions.Results:Statements were more likely to be perceived as a lie when they contained pauses, but not when vocal pitch was raised. This pattern held regardless of hearing ability. In contrast, both groups of listeners self-reported using vocal pitch cues to identify deceptive statements, though at lower rates than pauses.Conclusions:Listeners may have only partial awareness of the cues that influence their impression of dishonesty. Listeners with hearing impairment may place greater weight on acoustical cues according to the differing degrees of access provided by hearing aids.Supplemental Material:https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24052446
Manual Rhythmic Sequencing Skills in Children With Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Authors: Vuolo Janet , Kinross Allison , DeHart Katlyn 
Published: September 2023

Purpose:
Rhythm is one procedural mechanism that underlies language and motor skill acquisition and has been implicated in children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). The purpose of this study is to investigate manual rhythmic sequencing skills in children with a history of or current CAS (hx/CAS) compared to children with typical development (TD).

Method:

Thirty-eight children (18 with hx/CAS, 20 with TD), ages 5;0–12;8 (years;months), from across the United States participated in an online study. Participants imitated two rhythms in two different conditions, clapping and tapping. We assessed overall accuracy, mean number of beats, pause marking, and rhythmic sequence variability using the Mann–Whitney
U
test. Effect sizes were calculated to examine the influence of coordinative complexity on performance.

Results:
Compared to children with TD, children with hx/CAS marked fewer trials with a pause in both conditions of the easier rhythm and showed lower overall accuracy and more variable rhythmic sequences in both rhythms and conditions. The mean number of beats produced by children with hx/CAS and children with TD did not differ in three out of four rhythms/conditions. Unlike children with TD, children with hx/CAS showed little improvement from clapping to tapping across most dependent measures; reducing coordination demands did not improve performance in children with hx/CAS.

Conclusions:
We found that children with hx/CAS show manual rhythmic deficits that are similar to the deficits they display in speech. These findings provide support for a domain-general cognitive mechanisms account of the rhythmic deficits observed across linguistic and nonlinguistic tasks in children with hx/CAS.

Anti‐interrupted sampling repeater jamming method for random pulse repetition interval and intra‐pulse frequency agile radar
Authors: Guo Tai , Zhan Haihong , Su Xingde , Wang Tao 
Published: September 2023

AbstractInterrupted sampling repeater jamming can produce numerous active false targets with high fidelity, which is a significant challenge for coherent pulse radar. This poses a threat to the effectiveness of anti‐jamming technology, such as time‐frequency analysis and frequency agility for conventional constant pulse repetition interval (PRI) radar, which will render the radar inoperable to detect and track the actual target. A random PRI and intra‐pulse frequency agile radar waveform with low interception properties is proposed, which can effectively restrict the acquisition of radar waveform parameters by the jammer, destroy the coherence of jamming signals, and capture the range‐dimensional centroid feature of the echo. Accordingly, a jamming identification method based on the scale constrained Gaussian mixture model and an entity radar target energe recovery algorithm based on the neighbourhood weighted maximum entropy are proposed for target detection. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposal.
The LISA Data Challenge Radler analysis and time-dependent ultra-compact binary catalogues

Published: September 2023

Context. Galactic binaries account for the loudest combined continuous gravitational wave signal in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) band, which spans a frequency range of 0.1 mHz–1 Hz.
Aims. A superposition of low frequency Galactic and extragalactic signals and instrument noise comprise the LISA data stream. Resolving as many Galactic binary signals as possible and characterising the unresolved Galactic foreground noise after their subtraction from the data are a necessary step towards a global fit solution to the LISA data.
Methods. We analysed a simulated gravitational wave time series of tens of millions of ultra-compact Galactic binaries hundreds of thousands of years from merger. This dataset is called the Radler galaxy and is part of the LISA Data Challenges. We used a Markov chain Monte Carlo search pipeline specifically designed to perform a global fit to the Galactic binaries and detector noise. Our analysis was performed for increasingly larger observation times of 1.5, 3, 6 and 12 months.
Results. We show that after one year of observing, as many as ten thousand ultra-compact binary signals are individually resolvable. Ultra-compact binary catalogues corresponding to each observation time are presented. The Radler galaxy is a training dataset, with binary parameters for every signal in the data stream included. We compare our derived catalogues to the LISA Data Challenge Radler catalogue to quantify the detection efficiency of the search pipeline. Included in the appendix is a more detailed analysis of two corner cases that provide insight into future improvements to our search pipeline.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background CIC-DUX4 sarcoma is a rare, aggressive tumor that is difficult to diagnose. Although it is closely related to Ewing's sarcoma, each is a distinct pathologic entity and both have been previously reported in the skin, lymph nodes, and viscera. We report the first description of CIC-DUX4 involving the posterior cranial fossa and review the distinctive symptomatology, morphology, immunoprofile, and genetic signature that differentiate this rare tumor.
Case Report A 32-year-old man presented with an enlarging right lateral neck mass, progressive hoarseness, and orofacial pain. Biopsy revealed a high-grade undifferentiated malignant neoplasm. Imaging demonstrated an 8-cm mass in the right neck extending to the skull base and abutting the carotid sheath, in addition to pulmonary nodules and pelvic lymphadenopathy. Despite initial response to chemotherapy, he experienced disease progression and underwent surgical resection, radical neck dissection, and brachytherapy. Definitive pathologic diagnosis was achieved with next-generation sequencing. Within weeks of treatment, he developed symptoms reflecting progression of disease involving the neck, posterior cranial fossa, and lung. Adjuvant chemotherapy was planned, but the patient succumbed to his disease prior to initiation of further therapy.
Conclusion CIC-DUX4 sarcomas are uncommon and can progress rapidly. Diagnosis requires either fluorescence in situ hybridization or next-generation sequencing. Due to its rarity, there is no standard-of-care treatment for this tumor and further investigations are needed to understand disease behavior and develop targeted therapeutic modalities.
Microsurgical Debridement for Persistent Ulcers Due to Rare Fungus Infection: Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Tsui Yu-Wen , Tsai Chia-Yu , Chen Hung-Chi 
Published: September 2023

AbstractA patient suffered from chronic ulcer due to recalcitrant fungal infection for 3.5 years. Five antifungal agents and 40 times of debridement—all failed. Finally, radical microscopic debridement was performed for eradication of fungal conidiospores. Since then, there was no recurrence at 2 years of follow-up. Scopulariopsis brevicaulis is one of the rarest pathogens of cutaneous fungal infections, for which multidrug resistance increased the complexity and difficulty of treatment. Radical excision, especially microscopic debridement, was the key for eradication of fungal conidiospores in this case.
Posttraumatic Scrotal Reconstruction with a Pedicled “Extended” Superficial Circumflex Iliac Artery Perforator Flap: A Case Report
Authors: Sisternas Hernández Lucía , López Fernández Susana , Zamora Alarcón Paúl D. , Vega García Carmen , Torrano Romero Laura , Fernández Garrido Manuel 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe superficial circumflex iliac artery (SCIA) perforator (SCIP) flap has been used for scrotal reconstruction after Fournier's gangrene, skin cancer, or infections. However, there are few publications with regard to penoscrotal reconstruction after a traumatic injury with this flap. In this article, we propose a new SCIP flap variation, the “extended” or “direct” SCIP flap, to effectively reconstruct a wide scrotal defect after a traumatic injury. The “extended” SCIP flap is designed medial and cranial to the anterosuperior iliac spine (ASIS) using the superficial branch of the SCIA as the main pedicle.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background Skin defects in the hands are common injuries, and autologous skin grafting is the ideal treatment. However, complications can occur at the donor and recipient sites. This study compares the “Swing-door” technique with conventional skin grafting.
Methods From August 2019 to February 2023, 19 patients with skin defects of hand underwent the “Swing-door” split-thickness skin graft (STSG) technique. The thin epithelial layer was elevated with proximal part attached. Skin graft was harvested beneath. Donor site was then closed with epithelial flap like a “Swing-door”. The outcomes were evaluated in terms of healing time, scar formation, and pain at the donor and recipient sites. The data were compared with the conventional STSG.
Results The “Swing-door” group had lower graft take percentages, but complications did not significantly differ between the two groups. The “Swing-door” technique resulted in better cosmetic outcomes, as evidenced by lower Vancouver Scar Scale scores, faster donor site epithelialization, and reduced pain and discomfort during the early postoperative period, as measured by Visual Analog Scale.
Conclusion The “Swing-door” STSG is a useful alternative for treating hand skin defects.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a common musculoskeletal disorder in children. Secondary scoliosis can occur in patients with CMT; however, the extent of inclination and improvement of scoliosis after surgical correction of CMT have not been adequately studied. In this study, we aimed to evaluate and measure the improvement in vertebral tilting after surgical correction according to age at the time of surgery.
Methods Between June 2007 and January 2020, 831 patients with CMT underwent sternocleidomastoid release. Among them, 426 patients were enrolled, and their medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Ultimately, 210 patients available for radiological evaluation and analysis were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into four groups according to age at the time of surgery to determine the relationship between age and changes in scoliosis.
Results Our findings showed an improvement in scoliosis in all age groups after surgery. The results for follow-up after 1 year confirmed long-term improvement in vertebral tilting. The degree of improvement in scoliosis was significantly higher in the younger age group than in patients aged 18 years or older.
Conclusion The effect of surgical release on scoliosis was significant in all age groups. The findings of this study suggest that CMT should be corrected before the age of 3 years to ensure an optimal surgical mitigation of scoliosis. Furthermore, in cases of neglected CMT, surgical release should be actively attempted because there is significant improvement.
Effect of Previous INR Control during VKA Therapy on Subsequent DOAC Adherence and Persistence, in Patients Switched from VKA to DOAC

Published: September 2023

Introduction Current guideline suggests a switch from vitamin K antagonist (VKA) to direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) in patients with low time in therapeutic range (TTR < 70%). Poor international normalized ratio (INR) control may be the result of poor compliance, and might therefore be associated with subsequent DOAC intake. Therefore, this study evaluates the effect of previous TTR and other measures of INR control on DOAC nonadherence and nonpersistence, in patients who switched from VKA to DOAC.
Methods A total of 437 patients who switched from VKA to DOAC between 2012 and 2019 were included using data from Certe Thrombosis Service, IADB.nl pharmacy community database University Groningen, and Statistics Netherlands. DOAC prescriptions were used to determine nonadherence and nonpersistence. INR control (i.e., TTR, time under therapeutic range [TUR], and INR variability) was assessed during the last 180 days of VKA use. Multivariable regression models were applied to determine the association between INR control and DOAC nonpersistence/nonadherence.
Results On VKA, 67.7% of the patients had a TTR below 70%. DOAC nonpersistence was 39.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 33.4–45.5%) during a median follow-up of 34.4 months (interquartile range: 19.1–49.2). Approximately 80% of persistent patients were DOAC-adherent. Low TTR was not associated with DOAC nonpersistence (hazard ratio: 1.14, 95% CI: 0.69–1.87) and DOAC nonadherence (odds ratio: 1.38, 95% CI: 0.67–2.84), nor were TUR and INR variability.
Conclusion Previous INR control during VKA therapy is not associated with subsequent DOAC nonadherence and nonpersistence. This study suggests that INR control on VKA cannot, and therefore should not, be used for predicting DOAC adherence or persistence.

Published: September 2023

AbstractHeteroatom-embedded polycyclic aromatic compounds (hetero-PACs) are a class of organic compounds contributing to a variety of research fields such as materials science, chemical biology, and so on. For applications using hetero-PACs, efficient preparation of hetero-PACs is essential. In particular, reactions transforming unfunctionalized aromatic compounds into hetero-PACs using appropriate heteroatom-containing aromatic compounds (π-extending agents) represent the most ideal way to prepare hetero-PACs. In this review, such heteroatom-embedding annulative π-extension (hetero-APEX) reactions, including their reaction mechanisms and scope of substrates, are described.1	Introduction2	Oxa-APEX Reactions3	Aza-APEX Reactions4	Thia-APEX Reactions5	Conclusion and Outlook
Adverse Allergic Reaction to Intrathecally Administered Technetium-99m Diethylenetriamine Pentaacetate: A Case Report

Published: September 2023

AbstractIntrathecal administration of radiopharmaceuticals is an infrequently performed procedure in most nuclear medicine facilities. It is possible that adverse allergic reactions following the intrathecal administration of radiopharmaceuticals often go unreported. Here we present a case of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea with recurrent bacterial meningitis, who underwent radionuclide cisternography for localization of the site of leak and developed an adverse allergic reaction following the intrathecal administration of technetium-99m diethylenetriamine pentaacetate that resolved with appropriate treatment. Imaging, however, could be carried out to our satisfaction and the allergic reaction did not interfere with, or result in discontinuation of the scan procedure.

Abstract
Background An accurate monitoring technique is crucial in brain tumors to choose the best treatment approach after surgery and/or chemoradiation. Radiological assessment of brain tumors is widely based on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modality in this regard; however, MRI criteria are unable to precisely differentiate tumoral tissue from treatment-related changes. This study was conducted to evaluate whether fused MRI and O-(2-18F-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (18F-FET) positron emission tomography (PET) can improve the diagnostic accuracy of the practitioners to discriminate treatment-related changes from true recurrence of brain tumor.
Methods We retrospectively analyzed 18F-FET PET/computed tomography (CT) of 11 patients with histopathologically proven brain tumors that were suspicious for recurrence changes after 3 to 4 months of surgery. All the patients underwent MRI and 18F-FET PET/CT. As a third assessment, fused 18F-FET PET/MRI was also acquired. Finally, the diagnostic accuracy of the applied modalities was compared.
Results Eleven patients aged 27 to 73 years with a mean age of 47 ± 13 years were enrolled. According to the results, 9/11 cases (82%) showed positive MRI and 6 cases (55%) showed positive PET/CT and PET/MRI. Tumoral recurrence was observed in six patients (55%) in the follow-up period. Based on the follow-up results, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were 64, 85, 25, 67, and 50%, respectively, for MRI alone and 91, 85, 100, 100, and 80%, respectively, for both PET/CT and PET/MRI.
Conclusion This study found that 18F-FET PET-MR image fusion in the management of brain tumors might improve recurrence detection; however, further well-designed studies are needed to verify these preliminary data.
