AbstractBackgroundThis study aims to assess and compare the functional outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) eligible for tissue plasminogen activator (t‐PA) treatment who received care from either a fifth‐generation(5G) mobile stroke unit (MSU) or traditional emergency medical service (EMS).MethodThe study recruited patients between February 2020 and January 2022, with the final 90‐day follow‐up concluded in April 2022. Prior to enrollment, patients were assigned to either EMS or MSU care based on predetermined rules. The primary outcome measure was the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days, with secondary outcome measures including time metrics, mRS and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores at 7‐day follow‐up, and hospitalization costs.ResultsOf the 2281 enrolled patients, 207 were eligible for t‐PA treatment, with 101 allocated to MSU care and 106 to EMS care. The percentage of patients achieving a favorable mRS score (0–2) at 90 days was 82.2% in the MSU group compared to 72.6% in the EMS group (p < .05). Median times from symptom onset to thrombolysis were 146 min in the MSU group and 204 min in the EMS group, while median times from ambulance alert to computed tomography (CT) completion were 53 and 128 min, respectively. Hospitalization charges averaged approximately $3592 in the MSU group and $4800 in the EMS group.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that 5G MSU care significantly reduces the time from symptom onset to stroke diagnosis and intravenous thrombolysis in patients with AIS, resulting in improved functional outcomes compared to EMS care. As China continues its deployment of 5G technology and other digital infrastructures, the adoption of 5G MSU care on a broader scale may eventually supplant traditional stroke treatment approaches.

AbstractBackgroundMood swings have been observed in patients with intracranial aneurysm (IA), but it is still unknown whether mood swings can affect IA.AimTo explore the causal association between mood swings or experiencing mood swings and IA through a two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study.MethodsSummary‐level statistics of mood swings, experiencing mood swings, IA, aneurysm‐associated subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), and non‐ruptured IA (uIA) were collected from the genome‐wide association study. Two‐sample MR and various sensitivity analyses were employed to explore the causal association between mood swings or experiencing mood swings and IA, or aSAH, or uIA. The inverse‐variance weighted method was used as the primary method.ResultsGenetically determined mood swings (odds ratio [OR] = 5.23, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.65–16.64, p = .005) and experiencing mood swings (OR = 2.50, 95%CI: 1.37–4.57, p = .003) were causally associated with an increased risk of IA. Mood swings (OR = 5.67, 95%CI: 1.40–23.04, p = .015) and experiencing mood swings were causally associated with the risk of aSAH (OR = 2.91, 95%CI: 1.47–5.75, p = .002). Neither mood swings (OR = 1.95, 95%CI: .31–12.29, p = .478) nor experiencing mood swings (OR = 1.20, 95%CI: .48–3.03, p = .693) were associated with uIA.ConclusionsMood swings and experiencing mood swings increased the risk of IA and aSAH incidence. These results suggest that alleviating mood swings may reduce IA rupture incidence and aSAH incidence.

Published: August 2023

AbstractWe examined the relationship between water risk and the information environment of financial analysts using data from Chinese listed companies from 2010 to 2020. We theorized that corporate water risk deteriorates analysts' information environment by affecting operational and financial uncertainty and corporate legitimacy. Specifically, we found that corporate water risk is associated with higher analyst forecast errors and analyst forecast dispersion and lower analyst following. This relationship weakens with corporate water information disclosure and strengthens with the environmental attention of local governments. Furthermore, we explored the impact of corporate water risk on financial risk and future financial performance and discovered that water risk increases corporate financial risk and reduces future earnings. This suggests that corporate nonfinancial risk may also include subtle financial risk, and current water risk has a certain predictive effect on future earnings, which is an interesting finding. Our results are robust to a range of tests, including instrumental variable, generalized method of moments estimates, propensity score matching, and alternative measures of analysts' information environment. Generally, our study provides insights into the complementary role of nonfinancial risks represented by water risk in understanding financial risk and has important implications for academia and practitioners in understanding the economic consequences of corporate water risk.

Published: August 2023

AbstractEco‐innovation strategies are essential elements for companies developing core competencies in the circular economy model. The academic world has begun to study the knowledge of these business decisions, and there is incipient literature on the subject. In this context, this paper aims to contribute to the current knowledge on the impact of eco‐innovation strategies on corporate performance by exposing and synthesizing the distinct positions found in the literature. For this purpose, a systematic and bibliometric review of 81 articles related to the economic impact of eco‐innovation on firm performance, as well as the barriers and drivers of these strategies, was carried out. After analyzing the several types of eco‐innovation, our results show that although previous empirical evidence suggests the existence of a positive effect, it is not generalizable due to the existence of several factors that may condition the impact of eco‐innovation on corporate performance and its implementation. This study delves into the current academic literature on eco‐innovation and firm performance, determining that both size and the environment in which a company is framed constitute a series of conditioning factors that may clarify why there is no consensus in the academic literature in this regard. In addition, this work encourages future lines of research with the aim of shedding light on this field of knowledge.
Data‐driven insights for circular and sustainable food supply chains: An empirical exploration of big data and predictive analytics in enhancing social sustainability performance

Published: August 2023

AbstractAlthough the circular economy is commonly used among industries in developing countries to achieve carbon neutrality targets, its impact on social sustainability must be clarified. Stakeholders (for instance, community stakeholders) have been observed to be unaware of the focal firm's circular supply chain activities. Because this gap has not been generally reflected in the literature, it is critical to perform an empirical study to bridge the gap between theory and practice. The goal of this research was to determine whether new technologies such as big data and predictive analytics might influence an organization's propensity to share information related to circular economy practices with stakeholders as well as to increase connectivity with those stakeholders in the Industry 4.0 era. We also investigated whether these actions could increase stakeholder trust and engagement and social sustainability as a result. We tested our theoretical model using samples from food supply chain firms in South Africa. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using WarpPLS 7.0 software. The findings show that firms that deploy big data and predictive analytics are more likely to share information related to the circular economy with stakeholders and that these firms are also well‐connected with those stakeholders, resulting in increased trust and engagement. This, in turn, contributes to the social sustainability of supply chains. Our research has made a significant contribution by encouraging a theoretical debate regarding the willingness to share information regarding the circular economy and the social sustainability of the supply chain.
Impact of corporate governance diversity on carbon emission under environmental policy via the mandatory nonfinancial reporting regulation

Published: August 2023

AbstractThis study builds on the expanding literature on the interplay of corporate governance and corporate environment behaviour following the introduction of the carbon reporting directives of the UK Companies Act in 2013. We specifically focus on seeking clarity on the relationship between gender diversity, board independence, and board size with corporate environmental performance. The study examines these relationships under a mandatory nonfinancial reporting (NFR) requirement and tests the impact of regulatory shocks on board composition and channels affecting carbon emission. The findings confirm that board gender diversity and independence improve a firm's environmental performance. And while larger board sizes lead to larger environmental investments, the study finds that larger board sizes leads to poor environmental performance for the firm. The findings contribute to developments in countries, such as the United States, where there is an ongoing debate on the adoption of a mandatory NFR of carbon and the response of corporate boards.

Published: August 2023

Key Clinical MessageKidney metastasis to the pituitary gland can cause hyperprolactinemia even above 250 ng/mL. Although the treatment of metastasis is palliative, surgical decompression could play a major role in the recovery of symptoms and improve quality of life. Pituitary metastasis should be considered in the evaluation of an unusual pituitary mass.AbstractPituitary tumors are frequently encountered in the neurosurgical setting. Although the majority of them are pituitary adenomas, rare entities encompass pituitary metastasis. They should be differentiated from pituitary adenomas because their management and prognosis are different. We report a 53‐year‐old female who complained of headache and had remarkable hyperprolactinemia (271.1 ng/mL). Having considered macroprolactinoma as the initial diagnosis, medical treatment was initiated with Cabergoline. Subsequently, the patient's vision deteriorated which prompted us to perform endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery. Histologic examination of the resected tumor revealed metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Main treatment for these subjects is palliative; and unlike the pituitary adenoma, the prognosis is unfortunately poor. Pituitary metastasis should be considered in the evaluation of an unusual pituitary mass associated with hyperprolactinemia.

Published: August 2023

Key Clinical MessageThis study aimed to characterize the clinical features, developmental milestones, and the natural history of Pelizaeus–Merzbacher disease (PMD) associated with PLP1 gene duplications. The study examined 16 PMD Patients ranging in age from 7 to 48 years, who had a documented PLP1 gene duplication. The study examined and analyzed the medical and developmental histories of the subjects utilizing a combination of resources that included medical history questionnaires, medical record reviews, and a 31‐point functional disability scale that had been previously validated. The data extracted from the medical records and questionnaires for analysis included information related to medical and developmental histories, level of ambulation and cognition, and degree of functional disability. The summation of findings among the study population demonstrated that the presenting symptoms, developmental milestones achieved, and progression of symptoms reported are consistent with many previous studies of patients with PLP1 duplications. All patients exhibited onset within the first year of life, with nystagmus predominating as the first symptom noticed. All patients exhibited delays in both motor and language development; however, many individuals were able to meet several developmental milestones. They exhibited some degree of continued motor impairment with none having the ability to walk independently. All patients were able to complete at least some of the cognition achievements and although not all were verbal, a number were able to use communication devices to complete these tasks. A critical tool of the study was the functional disability scale which provided a major advantage in helping quantify the clinical course of PMD, and for several, we were able to gather this information at more than one point in time. These reported findings in our cohort contribute important insight into the clinical heterogeneity and potential underlying mechanisms that define the molecular pathogenesis of the disease. This is one of only a small number of natural history studies examining the clinical course of a cohort of patients with PLP1 duplications within the context of a validated functional disability scoring system. This study is unique in that it is limited to subjects with PLP1 gene duplications. This study demonstrated many commonalities to other studies that have characterized the features of PMD and other PLP1‐related disorders but also provide significant new insights into the evolving story that marks the natural history.

Published: August 2023

Key Clinical MessageIdiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a challenging chronic inflammatory disease in diagnosis with unknown etiology. Although the most appropriate treatment protocol has not yet been identified, prednisolone was used in our patient as an effective and practical choice in the treatment of IGM.AbstractIdiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the breast and mimics disorders such as breast cancer and breast abscess. Due to the uncommon of this disease, there is no definitive etiology, or treatment. A 38‐year‐old woman presented with a 3‐week history of painful right retro‐areolar mass. She had no history of breast trauma and a family history of breast cancer. She had a history of breastfeeding her second child for 12 months in the past year. Diagnostic tests and investigations led to the IGM diagnosis. Therefore, the patient was successfully treated with a course of corticosteroids, but after 2 months, during treatment, she developed Brucellosis. Despite the patient's Brucella infection and treatment with anti‐Brucella drugs, prednisolone as an anti‐inflammatory corticosteroid therapy was influential in the treatment of IGM.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe development of low cost‐effective and highly efficient heterogeneous electrocatalysts is most appreciable in the research community. A newly designed microporous organic‐inorganic hybrid iron cobalt phosphonate (FeCoDPAM) is synthesized using diphenylphosphinamide as an organophosphorus ligand through a hydrothermal pathway without any template. To synthesize N, P‐codoped bimetallic oxides (NP/FeCoO350, NP/FeCoO550, and NP/FeCoO750), the as‐synthesized material FeCoDPAM has undergone pyrolysis at three different temperatures, i. e., 350, 550, 750 °C, respectively. The high specific surface area and a regular microporous array of N, P‐codoped iron cobalt oxide (NP/FeCoO350) material provide excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity. The NP/FeCoO350 material catalyzes OER with the overpotential of 331 mV at a current density of 10 mAcm−2 and Tafel slope of 56.7 mV dec−1 in 1.0 M KOH solution. The inclusion of iron in the cobalt phosphonate framework can change the electronic structure, and electron transfer can be feasible to the d‐orbital of cobalt. Due to the doping of heteroatoms such as N and P into the bimetallic oxide matrix, a synergistic effect can occur, which is the driving force for the efficient electrocatalytic OER activity. Also, the FeCoO350 displays stability with outstanding oxidative current up to 50 h time in chronoamperometry measurement.

AbstractA reaction of fundamental and commercial importance is acetylene semi‐hydrogenation. Acetylene impurity in the ethylene feedstock used in the polyethylene industry poisons the Ziegler‐Natta catalyst which adversely affects the polymer quality. Pd based catalysts are most often employed for converting acetylene into the main reactant, ethylene, however, it often involves a tradeoff between the conversion and the selectivity and generally requires high temperatures. In this work, bimetallic Pd−Zn nanoparticles capped by hexadecylamine (HDA) have been synthesized by co‐digestive ripening of Pd and Zn nanoparticles and studied for semi‐hydrogenation of acetylene. The catalyst showed a high selectivity of ~85 % towards ethylene with a high ethylene productivity to the tune of ~4341 μmol g−1 min−1, at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. It also exhibited excellent stability with ethylene selectivity remaining greater than 85 % even after 70 h on stream. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of room temperature acetylene semi‐hydrogenation, with the catalyst effecting high amount of acetylene conversion to ethylene retaining excellent selectivity and stability among all the reported catalysts thus far. DFT calculations show that the disordered Pd−Zn nanocatalyst prepared by a low temperature route exhibits a change in the d‐band center of Pd and Zn which in turn enhances the selectivity towards ethylene. TPD, XPS and a range of catalysis experiments provided in‐depth insights into the reaction mechanism, indicating the key role of particle size, surface area, Pd−Zn interactions, and the capping agent.

AbstractAs a green photocatalyst, TiO2 has been widely used in adsorption, desorption and redox reactions, but the wide energy band and moderate visible light absorption have greatly inhibited its applications in photocatalysis. The effective method of enhancing the performance of catalysts is the development of heterojunction and metal‐nonmetal co‐doping. Herein, Fe−N co‐doped TiO2 heterojunction photocatalysts (FexTi@C) were successfully synthesized by calcining a self‐sacrificial template (NH2−MIL‐125(Ti)) injected with Fe3+ solution. X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N2 adsorption/desorption analysis, and photoelectrochemical tests were used to characterize FexTi@C, showing multiple rutile/anatase TiO2 heterojunction structure, low bandgap, and significant absorption in visible light. In addition, the Ti−O−Fe tetrahedra and more oxygen vacancies were provided since the doped N is from the pristine MOF and the radii of Fe3+ and Ti4+ are similar, which improved the photocatalytic efficiency of CO2 reduction to CH4, especially the Fe0.8Ti@C reached 7.8‐fold and 10.2‐fold CH4 yield increase compared with the original TiMOF template and the undoped Ti@C, respectively. This work presents a simple method for the fabrication of low bandgap semiconductors, and also makes a new attempt at the synergistic effect between the in‐situ elements and valence bonds of MOF‐derived catalysts.
