Transporting Cattle
Authors: Valadez Marcela , Miranda de la Lama Genaro 
Published: June 2023

AbstractFor cattle, the transition period from the place where they are raised to a new place, such as farm, an auction market or the slaughterhouse, is one of the most challenging moments in their lives from a welfare perspective. This is related to multiple stressors to which the animals are exposed during the different stages that make up the transport process, such as weaning, castration, dehorning, identification, new sound, visual and olfactory signals, social mixing, vibration, temperature variations, risk of injury, spatial restriction, fasting and limited access to water, in addition to other stressors to which they are exposed after their arrival.Regardless of whether the journey is short (less than 4 h), medium (between 4 and 8 h) or long (greater than 8 h), there must be a planning process for the logistics of the trip, which includes preventive maintenance of vehicles, up to the schedule and climate conditions on the day of the transport. This planning will avoid failures that compromise cattle welfare and will allow them to be in better conditions to recover from transport and prepare for the next stage.Information© The Author 2023

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The superconductivity of Rhenium Beryllium in two band model is theoretically studied using a standard model Hamiltonian which contains the Bardeen, Cooper and Schriefer, BCS type pairing interaction. Green function formalism was employed to obtain expression for superconducting order parameter in the bands, the coupling parameters and the superconducting critical temperature, T

C
, for this ReBe22 material. Our findings indicate, the enhancement of the superconducting critical temperature with the augmentation of the electron-phonon coupling strength in the entire system. The variation of the coupling parameter in the bands is understood as the reason for introducing a temperature gap and rising of the critical temperature suggesting significant upsurge at further scrutiny.
Monitoring healthy ageing for the next decade: South Korea’s perspective
Authors: Han Eun-Jeong , Han Zee-A , Kim Hansuk , Jung Tong Ryoung 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
South Korea is the fastest ageing country among OECD countries. Unlike the older generation growing up in the aftermath of the Korean war, the first and second baby boomer generations have heightened expectations regarding public services. In addition to the demand in higher quality of both social and health services by these newer older population, there is a concomitant increased quantitative demand. It is imperative that Korea reimagines their health, social welfare and economic policies to reflect the rapidly changing needs of such generations. One way to do this is to mainstream and continually monitor healthy ageing in all aspects of future policies. In 2021, the Korean Longitudinal Healthy Aging Study was launched in this context, to better understand the needs of the new-older age generation and to produce evidence to support formulation of better tailored policies that could promote healthy ageing. However, Korea is only in its early stage in developing a monitoring system that looks into the performance level of policies that support healthy ageing. As a country that is preparing for such rapid demographic transition and has already commenced developing its healthy ageing indicators, it will be important to assess and monitor uniformly the level of healthy ageing from the framework perspective of WHO. Korea welcomes WHO’s development of an internationally applicable M&E framework for healthy ageing. We hope that WHO’s M&E framework on healthy ageing will help Korea align to the international standards in its journey through the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing 2021–2030 and beyond.
A hospital within a hospital: An innovative pharmacy model to improve the continuum of care
Authors: Deyhim Niaz , Saini Anita , Beck Amanda , Everett Nichelle S , Agbara Echefula I 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Purpose
To describe the implementation of a contracted pharmacy service model for a co-located long-term acute care hospital (LTAC).

Summary
Historically, most LTACs have been free-standing healthcare facilities, but there is an increased trend towards the co-located LTAC (“hospital within a hospital”) model. Co-located LTACs represent a solution for the management of patient throughput within a health system, with optimized bed capacity at the host hospital, increased revenue under a prospective payment system, and reduced readmission rates. A co-located LTAC will likely share resources with the host hospital, including ancillary departments such as pharmacy services, through a contractual model. Operationalization of pharmacy services in a co-located LTAC presents unique challenges in the integration of pharmacy services. Pharmacy leaders at Houston Methodist collaborated with executive leadership and other healthcare disciplines to expand services from a free-standing LTAC to a co-located LTAC at the academic medical center location. The contracted pharmacy service operationalization processes in the co-located LTAC comprised licensure and regulations, accreditation, information technology enhancements, a staffing model, operations/distribution services, clinical services, and a defined quality reporting structure. Admissions from the host hospital to the LTAC consisted of patients requiring long-term antibiotic administrations, pre– and post–organ transplant care, complex wound care, oncologic-related treatment, and neurological rehabilitation for strengthening and continued care.

Conclusion
The framework described here offers guidance to health-system pharmacy departments to support establishment of a co-located LTAC. The case study outlines challenges, considerations, and processes for implementation of a successful contracted pharmacy service model.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Background
Epidemiologic studies on breast implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) currently estimate the risk between 1:300 and 1:30,000, assessed mainly in large breast reconstruction populations.

Objectives
The aim of the study was to assess BIA-ALCL epidemiology in a cohort of patients who have received textured implants for cosmetic indications.

Methods
In a prospective cohort observational study, 1501 patients who received a cosmetic breast augmentation between 2006 and 2016 were monitored, recording any implant-related complications, including BIA-ALCL. Cross-checking of clinical, pathology, and external records data identified cases. Prevalence, implant-specific prevalence (I-SP), incidence rate (IR), event-free time (EFT), and the Kaplan–Meier survival estimate were calculated.

Results
All but 2 patients received macrotextured or microtextured devices bilaterally. Mean follow-up was 3.2 years (1 months to 16.4 years). Five BIA-ALCL cases were investigated. Prevalence was 1:300 patients; I-SP was 6.9 cases/1000 individuals/Allergan BIOCELL devices and 1.3 cases/1000 individuals/Mentor Siltex devices; and IR was 1.07 cases/1000 females/year. Mean (SD) EFT was 9.2 years.

Conclusions
When using a denominator based on a cohort of cosmetic patients, BIA-ALCL occurrence is higher than previously reported, particularly with macrotextured devices. Given the similar IRs in reconstructive and cosmetic cohorts, their even distribution could be consequent to underreporting due to poorer follow-up and lower awareness in the latter group. The genetic predisposition in the oncologic cohort reasonably affects the early onset more than the IR. The importance of accurate follow-up is confirmed. Stratification risks analysis can guide surgeons during patient counseling regarding the decision for prophylactic explantation.

A multi-level generative framework for community detection in attributed networks
Authors: Zheng Yimei , Jia Caiyan , Li Xuanya 
Published: June 2023

AbstractCommunity detection in attributed networks is one of the most important tasks in complex network analysis. Many existing methods propose to integrate the network topology and node attribute from a generative aspect, which models an attributed network as a probabilistic generation process with the community distribution described by hidden variables. Though they can provide good interpretability to the community structure, it is difficult to infer community membership quickly due to their high computational complexity when inferring. Motivated by the multi-level strategy, in this study, we propose a multi-level generative framework to reduce the time cost of generative models for community detection in attributed networks. We first coarsen an attributed network into smaller ones by node matching. Then, we employ the existing generative model on the coarsest network without any modification for community detection, thus efficiently obtaining community memberships of nodes in this small coarsest network. Last, we project the assignments back to the original network through a local refinement mechanism to get communities. Extensive experiments on several real-world and artificial attributed networks show that our multi-level-based method is significantly faster than original generative models and is able to achieve better or more competitive results.

Abstract

Aims
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-18 (IL-18), important cytokines implicated in atherosclerosis and inflammaging, were assessed for associations with global cardiovascular disease (CVD), atrial fibrillation (AF), and death in older adults.

Methods and results
Participants from Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study Visit 5 (mean age 75.4 ± 5.1 years) with IL-6 and IL-18 measurements were included (n = 5672). Cox regression models were used to assess associations of IL-6 and IL-18 with coronary heart disease (CHD), ischaemic stroke, heart failure (HF) hospitalization, global CVD (composite of CHD, stroke, and HF), AF, and all-cause death. Over a median follow-up of 7.2 years, there were 1235 global CVD events, 530 AF events, and 1173 deaths. Higher IL-6 [hazard ratio (HR) 1.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.44–1.72 per log unit increase] and IL-18 (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.01–1.26) were significantly associated with global CVD after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors. Association between IL-6 and global CVD remained significant after further adjustment for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) but was no longer significant for IL-18 after further adjustments. Interleukin-6 was also associated with increased risk for CHD, HF, and AF after adjustment for covariates. Both IL-6 and IL-18 were associated with increased risk for all-cause death independent of cardiovascular risk factors and other biomarkers.

Conclusion
Among older adults, both IL-6 and IL-18 were associated with global CVD and death. The association between IL-6 with CVD appears to be more robust and was independent of hs-CRP, NT-proBNP, and hs-TnT.

Abstract
Bougainvillea is a perennial ornamental shrub that is highly regarded in ornamental horticulture around the world. However, the absence of genome data limits our understanding of the pathways involved in bract coloration and breeding. Here, we report a chromosome-level assembly of the giga-genome of Bougainvillea × buttiana ‘Mrs Butt’, a cultivar thought to be the origin of many other Bougainvillea cultivars. The assembled genome is ~5 Gb with a scaffold N50 of 151 756 278 bp and contains 86 572 genes which have undergone recent whole-genome duplication. We confirmed that multiple rounds of whole-genome multiplication have occurred in the evolutionary history of the Caryophyllales, reconstructed the relationship in the Caryophyllales at whole genome level, and found discordance between species and gene trees as the result of complex introgression events. We investigated betalain and anthocyanin biosynthetic pathways and found instances of independent evolutionary innovations in the nine different Caryophyllales species. To explore the potential formation mechanism of diverse bract colors in Bougainvillea, we analyzed the genes involved in betalain and anthocyanin biosynthesis and found extremely low expression of ANS and DFR genes in all cultivars, which may limit anthocyanin biosynthesis. Our findings indicate that the expression pattern of the betalain biosynthetic pathway did not directly correlate with bract color, and a higher expression level in the betalain biosynthetic pathway is required for colored bracts. This improved understanding of the correlation between gene expression and bract color allows plant breeding outcomes to be predicted with greater certainty.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Historically, pharmacists have not been formally involved in managing burn clinic patients. Collaborative Drug Therapy Management (CDTM) protocols allow pharmacists working within a defined context to independently assume responsibility for direct patient care activities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the number and type of medication-related interventions made by a clinical pharmacist, in an adult burn clinic, via a CDTM protocol. The protocol allows pharmacists to independently manage the following disease states: pain, agitation, delirium, insomnia, venous thromboembolism, skin/soft tissue infections, and hypermetabolic complications. All pharmacist visits between 1/1/22 and 9/22/22 were included. A total of 16 patients were seen at 28 visits with a clinical pharmacist for a total of 148 interventions. Patients were mostly males (81%) with a mean ± SD age of 41 ± 15 years. The majority of patients were in-state (94%), with 9 (56%) being from an outlying county. Patients were seen for a median (IQR) of 2 (1,2) visits. Interventions were made at all visits (100%) with a median of 5 (4,6) per visit. Interventions (per visit) included medication reconciliation [28 (100%)], a median of 1 (0,2) medication ordered or adjusted, labs ordered at 7 (25%) visits, with adherence and patient education both reviewed at over 90% of visits. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first burn center to implement a Clinical Pharmacist CDTM Protocol, with a pharmacist directly impacting transitions of care. This may serve as a framework for other sites. Future directions include continuing to track data for medication adherence and access, billing/reimbursement, and clinical outcomes.
‘Faith for Rights’ in Armed Conflict: Lessons from Practice
Authors: Salama Ibrahim , Wiener Michael 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article examines how the Beirut Declaration and its 18 Commitments on ‘Faith for Rights’ have been implemented in practice since 2017. It focuses on case studies from Afghanistan, Cyprus, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and hypothetical ‘cases to debate’ of the #Faith4Rights toolkit. The latter provides a peer-to-peer learning methodology to share the experiences of faith-based actors in dealing with tensions among human rights and in addressing armed conflicts across the globe.
The 2017 Beirut Declaration, and the underlying 2012 Rabat Plan of Action on the prohibition of incitement to hatred, acknowledge the positive or negative roles of religious leaders and their responsibilities during armed conflict and beyond. These declarations have been considered soft law instruments since they are regularly referred to in reports by the United Nations Secretary-General, High Commissioner, Special Rapporteurs, Treaty Bodies, the European Union and the Council of Europe. Furthermore, social media companies and Meta’s Oversight Board use the Rabat threshold test when making content moderation decisions on Facebook and Instagram, including in situations of armed conflict or in regions that have a recent history of conflict.
This article concludes that the #Faith4Rights toolkit provides a rights-based approach for bringing together the two worlds of faith and human rights. Its peer-to-peer learning methodology seeks to reflect and facilitate measurable changes rather than focusing only on inter-religious dialogue as such. It also provides concrete guidance to the—often daunting—task for facilitators of peer-to-peer learning events and for mediators in an armed conflict.
A study assessing public knowledge and behaviour of antibiotic use in Abu Dhabi and Dubai

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Objectives
The inappropriate use of antibiotics is one of the main factors in the development of antibiotic resistance. This study aimed at examining the public’s knowledge and behaviour in Abu Dhabi and Dubai towards antibiotic use.

Methods
A cross-sectional survey was performed using a pretested self-administered online questionnaire on a sample of 208 randomly selected from Abu Dhabi and Dubai residents. Descriptive statistics and P values were used in data analysis.

Key findings
In our population, 63% knew that antibiotic usage is ineffective in treating viral infections. Half of our participants were unsure or misinformed that antibiotics could treat the common cold. On the other hand, 93% knew that the body can fight mild infections without antibiotics. The results also showed that almost 29% take antibiotics for pain and inflammation. Approximately, 72% of the population denied consuming leftover antibiotics. Also, 95.2% of the population confirmed they check the expiry date before using antibiotics, and 82.7% stop the antibiotic after completing the course prescribed by a physician.

Conclusion
This study revealed the gaps in knowledge and practice towards antibiotics among the general population. It also identified areas that need more interventions to promote the rational use of antibiotics, and thus reduce the risk of development of antibiotic resistance.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm composed of mature adipose tissue and myeloid tissue with a variable amount of hematopoietic elements. Most patients are asymptomatic although some present with pain or even endocrine dysfunction. The rising use of CT and MRI scans has led to an increase of the detection of adrenal myelolipomas in recent years. The indications for surgery are symptomatic patients and lesions bigger than 5 cm or suspicious for malignancy. A case of a 50-year-old woman is presented here who was referred for surgical resection of a large nonfunctioning right adrenal mass. The neoplasm was resected through a midline laparotomy. Histopathology revealed a lesion consisting predominantly of fatty issue containing all types of hematopoietic stem cells and confirmed the diagnosis of myelolipoma.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia caused by torsion of a freely hanging Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) resulting in the need for resection is an uncommon complication. We present an extraordinary case of a 9-month-old male with acute abdominal symptoms because of intestinal ischemia and necrosis that necessitated resection of the entire ileum. This was caused by torsion around a particularly large MD.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Autonomous robots can be employed in exploring unknown environments and performing many tasks, such as, e.g. detecting areas of interest, collecting target objects, etc. Deep reinforcement learning (RL) is often used to train this kind of robot. However, concerning the artificial environments aimed at testing the robot, there is a lack of available data sets and a long time is needed to create them from scratch. A good data set is in fact usually produced with high effort in terms of cost and human work to satisfy the constraints imposed by the expected results. In the first part of this paper, we focus on the specification of the properties of the solutions needed to build a data set, making the case of environment exploration. In the proposed approach, rather than using imperative programming, we explore the possibility of generating data sets using constraint programming in Prolog. In this phase, geometric predicates describe a virtual environment according to inter-space requirements. The second part of the paper is focused on testing the generated data set in an AI gym via space search techniques. We developed a Neuro-Symbolic agent built from the following: (i) A deep Q-learning component implemented in Python, able to address via RL a search problem in the virtual space; the agent has the goal to explore a generated virtual environment to seek for a target, improving its performance through a RL process. (ii) A symbolic component able to re-address the search when the Q-learning component gets stuck in a part of the virtual environment; these components stimulate the agent to move to and explore other parts of the environment. Wide experimentation has been performed, with promising results, and is reported, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
Complying with the New NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy
Authors: Winchester Stacy 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) implemented a new Data Management and Sharing Policy on January 25, 2023. This policy replaces the 2003 document and affirms the NIH’s support for open science and data sharing. Almost all proposals for research that will produce scientific data are now required to include a Data Management and Sharing Plan, which lays out how the research team will collect and preserve data to ensure long-term discoverability and access. Researchers must approach their projects with data sharing in mind, to the extent that is ethically, legally, and technically possible.
