The temporal visual oddball effect is not caused by repetition suppression
Authors: Saurels Blake W. , Yarrow Kielan , Lipp Ottmar V. , Arnold Derek H. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe oddball paradigm is commonly used to investigate human time perception. Trains of identical repeated events (‘standards’) are presented, only to be interrupted by a different ‘oddball’ that seems to have a relatively protracted duration. One theoretical account has been that this effect is driven by repetition suppression for repeated standards. The idea is that repeated events seem shorter as they incur a progressively reduced neural response, which is supported by the finding that oddball perceived duration increases linearly with the number of preceding repeated standards. However, typical oddball paradigms confound the probability of oddball presentations with variable numbers of standard repetitions on each trial, allowing people to increasingly anticipate an oddball presentation as more standards are presented. We eliminated this by making participants aware of what fixed number of standards they would encounter before a final test input and tested different numbers of standards in separate experimental sessions. The final event of sequences, the test event, was equally likely to be an oddball or another repeat. We found a positive linear relationship between the number of preceding repeated standards and the perceived duration of oddball test events. However, we also found this for repeat tests events, which speaks against the repetition suppression account of the temporal oddball effect.

Published: July 2023

AbstractA prominent methodological issue in cognitive research on bilingualism is the lack of consistency in measuring second language (L2) proficiency. To reduce the inconsistency in L2 proficiency measurements, brief and valid vocabulary tests have been developed as an objective measure of proficiency in a variety of languages (e.g., English, French, Spanish). Here, we present LexCHI, a valid lexical test to measure Chinese proficiency. This freely available short test consists of 60 two-character items presented in simplified Chinese. Although it only takes a few minutes to complete LexCHI, the LexCHI scores in two studies correlated significantly with L2 participants' performance in a translation task and a cloze test. We believe that LexCHI is a useful tool for researchers who need to objectively measure Chinese proficiency as part of their investigations.

AbstractIndividual differences in early language abilities are an important predictor of later life outcomes. High-quality, easy-access measures of language abilities are rare, especially in the preschool and primary school years. The present study describes the construction of a new receptive vocabulary task for children between 3 and 8 years of age. The task was implemented as a browser-based web application, allowing for both in-person and remote data collection via the internet. Based on data from N = 581 German-speaking children, we estimated the psychometric properties of each item in a larger initial item pool via item response modeling. We then applied an automated item selection procedure to select an optimal subset of items based on item difficulty and discrimination. The so-constructed task has 22 items and shows excellent psychometric properties with respect to reliability, stability, and convergent and discriminant validity. The construction, implementation, and item selection process described here makes it easy to extend the task or adapt it to different languages. All materials and code are freely accessible to interested researchers. The task can be used via the following website: https://ccp-odc.eva.mpg.de/orev-demo.

Published: July 2023

La diabetes mellitus se ha incrementado de forma considerable en las últimas décadas, lo que representa ahora un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial por lo que la Organización Mundial de la Salud OMS (2023) ha considerado necesario evitar o retrasar las consecuencias de esta enfermedad en la población a través de una vida más sana, que incluya una mejor alimentación y ejercicio. Olivari y Urra (2007) refieren que la autoeficacia influye de forma positiva o negativa en comportamientos como lo afectivo, cognitivo y conductual. El objetivo fue analizar el nivel de actividad física auto eficiente en adultos mayores con diabetes mellitus tipo II de una comunidad mexiquense. Estudio de enfoque metodológico tipo cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal con alcance descriptivo, con una muestra de 50 adultos mayores en edades comprendidas entre 60 a 65 años que radican en San Bartolomé Tlaltelulco, se utilizó bajo consentimiento informado, el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (IPAQ) y la Escala de Autoeficacia para la Actividad Física (EAF) de Fernández Cabrera et al (2011) por su confiabilidad y validación para evaluar el nivel de autoeficacia. El 53% de los adultos mayores con DMTII tuvieron una autoeficacia “Media” para realizar actividad física.

Authors: Harlan Melissa D. , Bench Victor , Hudack Christoph , Fennimore Laura , Sherwood Paula , Ren Dianxu , Kelly Linda K. 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Nursing students experience patient aggression due to their age and lack of experience. Academic institutions can implement strategies to prepare students to manage aggression.

Method:
One-hundred forty-eight undergraduate nursing students in a baccalaureate nursing program participated in this quality improvement initiative. Baseline and postintervention perceived self-efficacy (PSE) data were gathered using the Self-Efficacy in Patient Centeredness Questionnaire-27. Students viewed two educational videos and underwent debriefing.

Results:

Overall PSE scores increased significantly (
p
< .01) from baseline (
M
= 76.44,
SD
= 13.00) to postintervention (
M
= 91.66,
SD
= 11.97). PSE in the subscales exploring the patient's perspective, sharing information and power, and dealing with communication challenges increased significantly (
p
< .01) from pre- to postintervention.

Conclusion:

PSE in caring for patients exhibiting aggressive behavior increased after nursing students were taught behaviors to use and how to manage their own biases to avoid provoking patients to respond aggressively.

Nursing Students' Medication Administration: A Focus on Hand Hygiene and Patient Identification
Authors: Schroers Ginger , O'Rourke Jenny 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Procedural failures during medication administration include a lack of appropriate hand hygiene and failure to verify patient identification prior to administration of medication. Procedural failures are common among nurses and nursing students and can lead to serious patient harm.

Method:
A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used to collect observational data from a simulation-based experience of a medication administration scenario.

Results:
Thirty-five senior baccalaureate nursing students from two geographically distant universities in the United States participated in the study. All of the participants made at least one procedural failure during the simulated experience. Hand hygiene compliance was 40.3%, and patient identification compliance was 43.8%.

Conclusion:

Students often failed to comply with medication administration safety guidelines. Nursing programs must make changes to the methods used to teach safe medication administration to prepare students for this critical skill.

Approche globale et intégrée d’un habitat groupé antique lémovice : le cas de Bridiers à La Souterraine (Creuse, Nouvelle-Aquitaine)
Authors: Baret Florian , Jubeau Thomas 
Published: July 2023

Depuis 2019, de nouveaux travaux menés dans le cadre du PCR HaGAL – Habitat Groupé Antique de la cité des Lémovices (dir. F. Baret) ambitionnent de reprendre de manière approfondie et globale l’étude de l’agglomération antique de Bridiers (La Souterraine, Creuse). Ces derniers ont démarré par la réalisation d’une prospection géoradar sur une parcelle d’environ 1 ha révélant un dense quartier de l’habitat groupé structuré par trois axes de circulation, jusqu’ici inédit. Les résultats obtenus offrent pour la première fois la possibilité d’établir un plan d’une partie de l’occupation. À la suite de cette première opération (qui succède toutefois à deux campagnes de prospections pédestres et à un levé LiDAR), une campagne de fouilles exploratoires a été menée en 2020 sur l’un des bâtiments mis en évidence. Ces données inédites, qu’il est par ailleurs intéressant de confronter, renouvellent sensiblement les connaissances sur une importante agglomération de la cité des Lémovices. Cette contribution ambitionne par la présentation des résultats, des deux opérations, de souligner l’intérêt de croiser les différents types d’opération et les échelles d’acquisition des données pour étudier finement une agglomération antique dans le cadre du développement de recherches nouvelles.
Premières données xylo- et anthraco-entomologiques à l’époque gallo-romaine
Authors: Toriti Magali , Durand Aline , Fohrer Fabien 
Published: July 2023

Cet article propose un premier état des connaissances sur la petite vrillette (Anobium punctatum De Geer, 1774), à partir de données archéobotaniques. L’analyse systématique des traces de ce xylophage et sa présence récurrente sur différents sites gallo-romains documentent les processus de déconstruction d’un bâtiment et éclairent des pratiques comme le réemploi. Elles aident aussi à comprendre l’attractivité du bois dans le domaine de la conservation patrimoniale. Les études des galeries et des vermoulures (identification, comptage, localisation), alliées aux éléments xylologiques et anthracologiques (essence ligneuse, anatomie), sont confrontées aux données archéologiques : elles révèlent un fort potentiel d’aide aux interprétations des bois archéologiques, notamment des bois ouvragés (charpente, plancher). En raison de sa synanthropie et de sa biologie, cet insecte est ubiquiste. Il peut être considéré comme un marqueur archéologique. Lorsqu’il est identifié, il est possible d’obtenir des informations sur la source de l’infestation de la structure et sur son importance. Ainsi, l’état sanitaire des bois est évalué. Parfois, des contextes archéologiques différents (four, foyer) renseignent plutôt sur le réemploi d’anciens bois ouvrés. Enfin, lorsqu’il est absent alors que toutes les conditions semblent réunies pour son implantation, d’autres questionnements se posent : traitement des bois, âge de la structure, tanins contenus dans les essences…

Abstract
Drugs are needed to protect against the neutrophil-derived histones responsible for endothelial injury in acute inflammatory conditions such as trauma and sepsis. Heparin and other polyanions can neutralize histones but challenges with dosing or side effects such as bleeding limit clinical application. In this study, we demonstrate that suramin, a widely available polyanionic drug, completely neutralizes the toxic effects of individual histones, but not citrullinated histones from neutrophil extracellular traps. The sulfate groups on suramin form stable electrostatic interactions with hydrogen bonds in the histone octamer with a dissociation constant of 250 nM. In cultured endothelial cells (Ea.Hy926), histone-induced thrombin generation was significantly decreased by suramin. In isolated murine blood vessels, suramin abolished aberrant endothelial cell calcium signals and rescued impaired endothelial-dependent vasodilation caused by histones. Suramin significantly decreased pulmonary endothelial cell ICAM-1 expression and neutrophil recruitment caused by infusion of sublethal doses of histones in vivo. Suramin also prevented histone-induced lung endothelial cell cytotoxicity in vitro and lung edema, intra-alveolar hemorrhage, and mortality in mice receiving a lethal dose of histones. Protection of vascular endothelial function from histone-induced damage is a novel mechanism of action for suramin with therapeutic implications for conditions characterized by elevated histone levels.

Published: July 2023

Background:
Fibrin-specific lytic agents like tenecteplase (TNK) have improved the patency rates substantially. Real-world postmarketing safety and efficacy evaluation hold lot of importance.

Objectives:
The present study was a prospective, multicenter, phase IV study to evaluate postmarketing safety and efficacy of TenecteRel® (TNK).

Methods:
The present study was a postmarketing multicenter, phase IV study to evaluate postmarketing safety and efficacy of TenecteRel®. Two hundred and two patients of STEMI presenting within 6 h of onset of symptoms, were included in the study. A single dose of tenecte was administered and patients were followed up till day 30. Safety evaluation included adverse events monitoring, physical examination, vital signs, and immunogenicity assessment. Efficacy assessment was based on mortality and nonfatal stroke at 30 days and rates of bleeding events and nonfatal inhospital cardiac events.

Results:
A total of 69 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported. There were 42 (20.79%) patients who had at least one TEAE and 9 (4.46%) patients with TEAE related to study medication. Most commonly reported (≥5%) TEAEs were related to gastrointestinal disorders 17 (8.42%) and general disorders and administration site conditions 13 (6.93%). One hundred and ninety-four (96.04%) patients had the net clinical benefit (defined as the absence of mortality and nonfatal stroke at day 30). No patient had an incidence of stroke. Bleeding events were 3 (1.49%) all of which were nonserious and minor in nature.

Conclusions:
The present phase IV study confirms that TenecteRel® of Reliance Life Sciences is well tolerated and the safety and efficacy profile is comparable to the innovator product data.
Evaluation of Salivary IL-8 and Calcium Levels in Postmenopausal Females with and without periodontitis—A Comparative Study
Authors: Potdar Raksha , Ramesh Amitha , Rajesh Aparna 
Published: July 2023

Background and Objective:
Menopause is a normal developmental stage in a woman's life marking the permanent cessation of menstruation. Calcium is predominant in intracellular signalling and its intracellular increase can affect the cell's proliferation, phagocytosis and cytokine secretion. IL-8 expression in various cells such as neutrophils and osteoblasts was reported to involve a calcium signalling pathway. Well-known functions of IL-8 includes help in angiogenesis, role in tumour progression, tissue remodelling, etc., Hence, the aim of this study was to establish the relationship between calcium-dependent IL-8 and periodontal disease in postmenopausal females.

Method:
The study population included 52 postmenopausal women aged 45–57 years. The patients were divided into two groups in which group I included postmenopausal women without periodontitis and group II with periodontitis. Unstimulated salivary samples were collected from all the participants to evaluate IL-8 and calcium levels.

Results:
There was a statistically significant difference in salivary IL-8 levels between the two groups (P < 0.001), but there was no statistical difference in salivary calcium levels between the two groups (P = 0.730). A weak negative correlation between salivary IL-8 and calcium was found in group I, while a weak positive correlation was found between the same in group II.

Conclusion:
Analysis of salivary IL-8 from the present study was in accordance with several previous studies. It can be concluded that saliva can also be used as a reliable oral diagnostic fluid for IL-8 and calcium detection in periodontitis.
Calcitonin as a Pharmacological Anchorage in Orthodontics
Authors: Pizzo-Reis Patrícia M. , Coêlho Mônica C. , Azevedo Ricardo B. , Faber Jorge 
Published: July 2023

Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of salmon calcitonin administration as a pharmacological anchoring agent in orthodontics and to determine the influence of locally applied calcitonin on serum calcium levels. The secondary aim was to observe the response of dental and periodontal tissues using light microscopy.

Methods:
Fourteen healthy male adult Wistar rats with an average weight of 250 g had their teeth moved, seven of which received a local injection of salmon calcitonin in the furcation region of the left upper first molar. Concurrently, the remaining seven were used as controls. In the control group, saline solution was injected in the bifurcation region of tooth 26 to subject these animals to the same stress level as those of the experimental group. After 14 days, a 6 mm diameter orthodontic elastic band was inserted between teeth 26 and 27 in all animals to induce the movement of these teeth. The rats were anaesthetised and exsanguinated on day 21. In both groups, tooth movement and serum calcium levels were measured. The jaws were dissected with straight scissors, and tissue blocks containing gingiva, bone and teeth were identified, fixed and demineralised. Then, the pieces were cut into semi-serial slices, stained with hematoxylin, eosin, and Mallory's trichrome, and analysed under an Axiophot light microscope.

Results:
There was significantly less tooth movement in the experimental group (X[Combining Macron]; 0,150 mm ± 0,037) than in the control group (0,236 mm ± 0,044; P = 0,003), while there was no significant difference in serum calcium levels between the two groups (controlX[Combining Macron]; 9,53 mg/dl ± 1,53; experimental 10,81 mg/dl ± 1,47; P = 0,15).

Conclusion:
While calcitonin did not completely inhibit osteoclast activity, it promoted orthodontic anchorage, apparently, by local action.
Socioeconomic Determinants of Demand for Dental Cosmetic Treatments
Authors: Emrani Reza 
Published: July 2023

Introduction:
The demand for cosmetic dentistry is a growing trend globally. Increased media coverage, availability of free online information, and the improved economic status of the general population have led to an increase in the patient's aesthetic expectations. Since no study has measured the relationship between the economic status of people and the choice of cosmetic dentistry in Iran and due to the growing demand for it, this study was designed.

Method:
In this descriptive epidemiological study, we visited three completely different areas in terms of Socioeconomic status (SES) in Tehran. A checklist was used to record the gender, job, age, education level, maternal status, and source of payment for cosmetic dentistry treatment.

Result:
The majority of the volunteers for dental cosmetic restoration were 23-26 years. Of 498 cosmetic restoration volunteers, 50 were men and 448 were women. As for the education level, most of the participants had a high school diploma. The cost of cosmetic restoration of 351 patients (70%) was paid by the parents or the spouse, and 147 patients paid the cost from their income. Our study showed that 7% of visits to dental clinics were only for cosmetic treatment demands in Tehran in 2021.

Conclusion:
Type of job, education level, and marital status had no significant relationship with the choice of cosmetic treatment while age had a significant relationship with the choice of cosmetic dental restoration treatment. In addition, the choice of cosmetic dental treatment was completely related to gender, and women were the main users of it.
