Abstract
Synthesis of a novel Cu-Ni bimetallic system comprising magnetic nanoparticles as the core and 4-amino-3,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (4-ABPT) as a conjugated bridge between nickel and copper species is described. With low Cu and Ni loading (0.06 mol% Ni, 0.08 mol% Cu), the resulting Fe3O4@SiO2@4-ABPT/Cu-Ni is discovered to be a highly efficient catalyst for the Sonogashira and C-N cross-coupling reactions. It is well characterized by FT-IR, XRD, EDX, FE-SEM, TEM, ICP, VSM, TGA/DTG/DTA, and XPS techniques. Fe3O4@SiO2@4-ABPT/Cu-Ni as a nanocatalyst in the Sonogashira and C-N cross-coupling reactions is compatible with a wide range of amines and aryl halides and gives desired coupling products in high to excellent yields under palladium- and solvent-free conditions. The XPS results show that the 4-ABPT as a ligand can adjust electron transfer between Ni and Cu in Fe3O4@SiO2@4-ABPT/Cu-Ni, which promotes the formation and stabilization of Cu+ and Ni3+ species. Electronic interactions and the synergistic effect between these metals increase the selectivity and activity of Fe3O4@SiO2@4-ABPT/Cu-Ni as a catalyst in the Sonogashira and C-N cross-coupling reactions in comparison with its monometallic counterparts. Additionally, the magnetic properties of the Fe3O4@SiO2@4-ABPT/Cu-Ni make it easy to separate from the reaction mixture, and it can be reused several times without a significant loss in its catalytic activity or performance.

Abstract
People-nature interdependencies in the social-ecological system (SES) are fundamental to coping with urban flood risks. Nature-based solutions (NbS), a holistic tool considering the people-nature interdependencies, have been advocated widely for urban flood risk management (FRM). However, how NbS has been used from SES perspectives in urban FRM is still not well elaborated, which refers to how NbS contribute to SES factors, processes, and effects? and what SES approaches may support NbS design, implementation, and governance? Therefore, this study first conducted a systematic review of ecological measures in urban FRM during 2000–2022, which showed an imbalance distribution of global knowledge, divergent linkages with social and ecological benefits, and growing insights from SES perspectives. According to the proposed conceptual framework, NbS’ contributions to urban FRM are explained by three dimensions: integrating socioeconomic and ecological factors, coupling social and biophysical processes, and identifying potential tradeoffs/synergies. However, inadequate understandings of NbS’ resilience, effectiveness, and synergy are still key challenges in existing studies that might hamper their contributions to both people and nature. Hence, SES approaches that leverage NbS in future FRM are suggested based on the conceptual framework, including multiple-scale flood resilience assessment, process-based effectiveness modeling, “win-win” effects prediction, and monitoring. We hope that urban FRM can leverage NbS through SES approaches to jointly achieve flood risk mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity protection, and human well-being in the sustainable and resilient pathway.

Abstract
Metabolic adaptations to negative energy balance as lipomobilization may influence inflammatory responses, immune function and oxidative stress in animals. The aim of this study was to assess the metabolic, oxidoreductive and immune status of buffaloes from prepartum to postpartum period by grouping animals according to mild, medium, or severe lipomobilization. Seventy-six Mediterranean Buffaloes were enrolled and a weekly blood sample was taken from 7 weeks before to 6 weeks after calving. The concentration of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) was determined in serum and used to divide buffaloes at 7 weeks before calving into: mild (NEFA-I; NEFA ≤ 0.29 mEq/L; n = 18), medium (NEFA-II; 0.29 < NEFA < 0.57 mEq/L; n = 20), and severe (NEFA-III; NEFA ≥ 0.57 mEq/L; n = 38) lipomobilization groups. Two-way ANOVA was used to assess changes between groups and over time. Differences were found in the concentration of NEFA, β-hydroxybutyrate, glucose, cholesterol, protein profile, oxygen radicals, antioxidant, lysozyme, complement and minerals. These results suggest a greater or lesser severity in energy metabolism and oxidative stress in the medium and severe lipomobilization groups.

Abstract
Background
The implantation of a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt is one of the most common interventions in neurosurgery. However, there is a high rate of re-interventions e.g., surgical revisions, changes of valve pressure or radiological examinations. Various operating techniques, shunt valves and settings have been used in the past decades.
Our goal was to investigate the clinical and technical characteristics influencing the need for intervention.
Methods
614 patients between 2000 and 2019 which were treated surgically or seen as out-patients with a CSF-shunt dependent hydrocephalus at our department were longitudinally analyzed. Interventions were defined as any change in valve pressure setting or revision surgery. The clinical and technical data were retrospectively collected and analyzed using integrated regression and cox regression.
Results
289 (47.1%) male and 325 (52.9%) female patients with a median age of 61 years (IqR: 47 – 70), with 441 (71.9%) ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VP) and 150 (24.4%) ventriculoatrial shunts, 351 (57.7%) programmable and 257 (42.3%) non-programmable shunts were documented. The median follow-up was 53.9 months (CI95%: 47.5 – 60.2, range: 0 – 463). Female patients were looked after significantly longer (60.0 months, CI95% 50.9 - 69.1). The average time until the first intervention was 98 months (IqR: 81.8 – 115.2). Gender, height, weight and BMI did not influence the need for earlier intervention.
In long-term follow-up, valve pressure which never needed an intervention was influenced by the type of the shunt (VA or VP) and the programmability of the valve. Gender, height, weight and BMI had no impact on the pressure setting.
Conclusion
The individual pressure setting with none to fewer interventions is influenced by the programmability of the CSF-shunt, the age of the patient and the shunt-type. Gender, height, weight and BMI are not clinically relevant to identify the ideal valve pressure.

Abstract
Challenging behavior, such as aggression, is highly prevalent in children and adolescents with autism and can have a devastating impact. Previous reviews of challenging behavior interventions did not include interventions targeting emotion dysregulation, a common cause of challenging behavior. We reviewed emotion dysregulation and challenging behavior interventions for preschoolers to adolescents to determine which evidence-based strategies have the most empirical support for reducing/preventing emotion dysregulation/challenging behavior. We reviewed 95 studies, including 29 group and 66 single-case designs. We excluded non-behavioral/psychosocial interventions and those targeting internalizing symptoms only. We applied a coding system to identify discrete strategies based on autism practice guidelines with the addition of strategies common in childhood mental health disorders, and an evidence grading system. Strategies with the highest quality evidence (multiple randomized controlled trials with low bias risk) were Parent-Implemented Intervention, Emotion Regulation Training, Reinforcement, Visual Supports, Cognitive Behavioral/Instructional Strategies and Antecedent-Based Interventions. Regarding outcomes, most studies included challenging behaviors measures while few included emotion dysregulation measures. This review highlights the importance of teaching emotion-regulation skills explicitly, positively reinforcing replacement/alternative behaviors, using visuals and metacognition, addressing stressors proactively, and involving parents. It also calls for more rigorously-designed studies and for including emotion dysregulation as an outcome/mediator in future trials.

AbstractBackgroundKnowledge of the signs, symptoms, and management options of complications is essential for the nursing of patients after digit replantation and skin flap transplantation. This study aimed to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) toward the postoperative nursing of patients with digit replantation and skin flap transplantation among new nurses.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital and Beijing No.6 Hospital between October 2022 and December 2022 among new nurses who had been in the profession for less than 2 years by a self-administered questionnaire.ResultsA total of 206 valid questionnaires were collected. The participants showed poor knowledge (7.72 ± 3.28, total scores: 13), moderate attitude (37.95 ± 6.05, total scores: 50), and active practice (38.23 ± 6.12, total scores: 45). The multivariable logistic regression showed good knowledge (OR = 2.55, 95%CI: 1.18–5.49, P = 0.017) was independently associated with favorable attitude. And favorable attitude (OR = 9.03, 95%CI: 3.88-21.00, P < 0.001) was independently associated with active practice.ConclusionsThe new nurses have poor knowledge, moderately attitudes, and appropriate practice toward severed digit replantation and skin flap transplantation. Proper training to improve knowledge of new nurse might be an optional method to improve their practice.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
High purity ultrathin Ag-assisted titania (TiO2) nanowires with controlled aspect ratio were prepared by a facile solvothermal approach. The dimensions of as-prepared nanowire structures such as length and diameter can be easily tuned from 100 nm to 3 nm and from few millimeters to several hundred nanometers respectively by optimizing concentration of precursors and octadecylamine (ODA) as surfactant. The as-prepared samples were studied and characterized by several analytical techniques like transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), surface area measurement through Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The main focus of present research work is the size-controlled synthesis of Ag assisted TiO2 nanowires and enhancement of their methylene blue (MB) degradation efficiency. A 98% photodegradation efficiency for methylene blue was achieved by utilizing 3nm thick annealed TiO2 nanowires within 20min. Recyclability of photocatalyst was also studied, with the material being found to be stable up to four runs.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication in orthopedic patients. Previous studies have focused on major orthopedic surgery.There are few studies with multiple trauma. We aimed to describe the prevalence of DVT and compare the predictive power of the different risk assessment scales in patients with multiple trauma.Methods This prospective cohort study involved multiple trauma patients admitted to our hospital between October 2021 and December 2022. Data were prospectively collected for thrombotic risk assessments using the Risk Assessment Profile for thromboembolism(RAPT), the DVT risk assessment score (DRAS), and the Trauma Embolic Scoring System (TESS), respectively. The receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC) were evaluated to compare the predictive power. Doppler ultrasound was used to determine DVT incidence.Results A total of 210 patients were included, and the incidence of DVT was 26.19%. Distal DVT accounted for 87.27%; postoperative DVT, 72.73%; and bilateral lower extremity thrombosis, 30.91%. There were significant differences in age, education degree, pelvic fracture, surgery, ISS, D-dimmer level, length of hospital stay and ICU stay between the thrombosis group and the non-thrombosis group. The AUCs for RAPT, DRAS, and TESS were 0.737, 0.710, and 0.683, respectively. The RAPT had better predictive value, but there were no significant differences between the three ROC curves.Conclusions The incidence of DVT was relatively high during hospitalization. We prospectively validated the tests to predict risk of DVT among patients with multiple trauma to help trauma surgeons in the clinical administration of DVT prophylaxis.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Co-precipitation, a minimal technique, was used to successfully create novel (Cr, Cu) dual-doped ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersion X-ray (EDX) analysis, scanning electron microscopes (SEM), and UV-visible absorption spectra had been used to characterize the produced nanoparticle. The produced NPs have a hexagonal wurtzite structure with a high phase purity, according to the XRD pattern. the substitution of Cr increased optical absorption and inducing new absorption peaks in the visible regions that correspond to the transitions from 4A2(4F) to CB and 4A2(4F) to 4T1(4F). Absorption of photon in the visible region led to increase the photo-generated electron-hole pairs and hence RO-species which responsible for photocatalytic activity. Therefore the (Cu, Cr) dual doped ZnO NPs had excellent photocatalytic activity under sun light irradiation. MTT assay was employed to analyze the in vitro cytotoxicity of Cr-doped Zn0.98Cu0.02O NPs on human normal PBMC. The toxicity is enhanced by an increase in Cr concentration in very small amounts at low concentrations and significantly at high concentrations. The antibacterial characteristics of the produced NPs was examined against the bacterial strains P. putida and B. subtilis.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
A growing number of intensive irrigated production systems of the almond crop have been established in recent years. However, there is little information regarding the crop water requirements. Remote sensing-based models such as the two-source energy balance (TSEB) have proven to be reliable ways to accurately estimate actual crop evapotranspiration. However, few efforts have been made to validate the transpiration with sap flow measurements in woody row crops with different production systems and water status. In this study, the TSEB Priestley-Taylor (TSEB-PT) and contextual approach (TSEB-2T) models were assessed to estimate canopy transpiration. In addition, the effect of applying a basic clumping index for heterogeneous randomly placed clumped canopies and a rectangular hedgerow clumping index on the TSEB transpiration estimation was assessed. The TSEB inputs were obtained from high resolution multispectral and thermal imagery using an unmanned aerial vehicle. The leaf area index (LAI), stem water potential (Ψstem) and fractional intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (fIPAR) were also measured. Significant differences were observed in transpiration between production systems and irrigation treatments. The combined use of the TSEB-2T with the C&N-R transmittance model gave the best transpiration estimations for all production systems and irrigation treatments. The use of in situ PAR transmittance in the TSEB-2T model significantly improved the root mean squared error. Thus, the better agreement observed with the TSEB when using the C&N-R model and in situ PAR transmittance highlights the importance of improving radiative transfer models for shortwave canopy transmittance, especially in woody row crops.

Published: April 2023

AbstractBackground:SARS-Cov 2 2019 (C-19) infection affects the course of various dermatological diseases. However, data on its impact on psoriasis course is limited.Objectives:To evaluate the impact of C-19 infection on psoriasis course and also investigate the frequency of post-covid complications in psoriasis patients.Methods:Psoriasis patients with at least one C-19 PCR positivity, having a control visit between March and June 2022 were included. The flare was defined as at least 25% increase in psoriasis severity within 4 weeks after C-19 PCR positivity, according to patient-reported assessment. As confounders, corticosteroid and hydroxychloroquine use and vaccination against SARS-Cov2 histories within the last 4 weeks were questioned. Also, post-covid complications were recorded.Results:105 patients (50 female, 55 male) with a total of 113 C-19 incidents were included. Psoriasis exacerbation following C-19 was observed in 23.8% (n:25) of patients. Among 22 patients, exacerbation was similar to baseline psoriasis phenotype (1 guttate, 2 generalized pustular, 19 plaque) whereas in 3 patients with plaque psoriasis, guttate (2) and generalized pustular (1) psoriasis emerged. The risk of post-covid psoriasis flare was found to be related with discontinuation of medications or unstable psoriasis during C-19. Six patients developed post-covid complications including pericardial effusion, pulmonary thromboembolism, cerebrovascular accident, fascial paralysis and arthritis.Conclusion:This study shows a high risk of psoriasis flare following C-19, which is mostly related to unstable psoriasis during C-19 or discontinuation of medications. Since psoriasis patients have increased risk of cardiovascular complications, careful follow-up for mainly thrombotic post-covid complications is mandatory.IRB approval status:Reviewed and approved by Marmara University School of Medicine IRB (Approval number: 09.2022.339)

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Purpose – To measure the effect of rim-off deep lateral decompression for Graves orbitopathy on the lateral rectus muscle path and oculomotor balance.
Methods – Retrospective analysis of the medical records and pre- and postoperative computed tomography scans of 34 orbits of 23 patients who underwent deep lateral decompression alone. The oculomotor balance of these 23 patients was measured with the alternate cover test and prisms before and after surgery. Bezier functions were used to measure the postoperative path of the lateral rectus in all decompressed orbits.
Results – Deep lateral decompression induced a curvilinear deformation of the lateral rectus.
There was no significant correlation between the position of the point of maximum muscle displacement and the size of the residual lateral wall. The changes in the lateral rectus path had no adverse effects on the oculomotor balance of the patients.
Conclusions – The location of the curvilinear deformation of the lateral rectus do not depends on the residual segment of the lateral wall. The changes of the lateral rectus path have no deleterious effect on the oculomotor balance.
