AbstractObjectiveConcussion is a common ED complaint, but diagnosis is challenging as there are no validated objective measures. Use of concussion tools derived from sports medicine is common, but these tools are not well validated in ED settings. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 5th Edition (SCAT5) to identify concussion in ED patients presenting following head injury.MethodsWe conducted a prospective observational study of head‐injured adult patients presenting to ED between March and July 2021. ED diagnosis of concussion was used as the diagnostic standard, and we assessed the diagnostic performance of the SCAT5 test and its three subsections (Standardised Assessment of Concussion (SAC), Post‐Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) and Modified Balance Error Scoring System (mBESS)) against this.ResultsThirty‐two head‐injured participants were enrolled, 19 of whom had a discharge diagnosis of concussion, alongside 17 controls. Median time for SCAT5 testing was 21 (interquartile range 16–27) min. Fifteen (30.6%) participants were interrupted during testing. Area under the curve (AUC) (95% confidence interval) for the SAC, PCSS and mBESS were 0.51 (0.34–0.68), 0.92 (0.84–0.99) and 0.66 (0.47–0.85), respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of sections were as follows: entire SCAT5 (100.0%, 20.0%), SAC (48.1%, 60.0%), PCSS (89.7%, 85.0%) and mBESS (83.3%, 58.8%). Using PCSS alone would have identified 17 of 19 concussions.ConclusionThe SCAT5 test had a low specificity, was long and was frequently interrupted. We suggest it is not an ideal assessment to use in ED. The PCSS score performed well and was easy to complete. It may be useful as a standalone tool to simplify ED concussion identification.

AbstractObjectiveTo compare the effects of different intervention measures on prognosis and quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation, in order to provide clinical basis for diagnosis and treatment.MethodsA total of 160 patients who visited several hospitals including Shanghai Xinhua Hospital from June 2019 to June 2021 were selected. Among them, 40 cases were in the drug treatment group (DRUG group), 40 cases in the radiofrequency ablation group (Radiofrequency ablation, RFA group), and 40 cases in the catheter ablation combined with percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion group (“"one‐stop”" procedure group) and 40 cases in the percutaneous left atrial appendage closure group (Left atrial appendage closure, LAAC group). The Minnesota quality of life score (MLHFQ), ejection fraction (LVEF), and left atrial anterior and posterior diameters (LAD) were compared between the groups at 1‐year follow‐up, and the differences in adverse events were compared between the groups.Results(1) After a 1‐year follow‐up, overall comparison, the MLHFQ scores and the LVEF and the LAD among the four groups were statistically different (p < .01); (2) Multiple comparisons, ① the MLHFQ scores: The RFA group was the lowest, the “one‐stop” operation group was lower than the DRUG group, the LAAC group was the highest (p < .01). ② LVEF: The RFA group was the highest, the “one‐stop” procedure group was higher than the drug treatment group, the LAAC group was the lowest (p < .01). ③ LAD: the RFA group and the “one‐stop” procedure group were smaller than the DRUG group, the DRUG group was smaller than the LAAC group (p < .01).(3) Compared with the baseline data after 1‐year follow‐up in each group, in the RFA group and in the “one‐stop” procedure group, the MLHFQ scores was decreased, the LVEF was increased, and the LAD was decreased (p < .01); in the DRUG group: the difference was not statistically significant (p > .05); in the LAAC group, the MLHFQ scores was increased, the LVEF was decreased, and the LAD was increased (p < .01). (4) There were significant differences in the incidence of adverse events among the four groups (p < .01), the lowest in the RFA group and the highest in the LAAC group.ConclusionCompared with drug treatment, radiofrequency ablation and “one‐stop” procedure group can improve the quality of life of patients with atrial fibrillation, improve cardiac function, and reduce the occurrence of adverse events. Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion affects patients' quality of life and improves cardiac function, and increases the incidence of adverse events.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundData on the factors that trigger repetitive nonreentrant ventriculoatrial synchrony (RNRVAS) are limited. We hypothesize that loss of atrial capture may trigger RNRVAS. We aimed to use an atrial threshold test to observe the development of RNRVAS upon loss of atrial capture in patients with implantable cardiac electronic devices (CIED).MethodsPatients with DDD mode CIEDs [177 patients, 67.5 ± 14.8 (70) years; 70 women] were included. Atrial threshold test was done in DDD mode at a rate at least 10 beats above the basal heart rate, with an AV delay of 300 ms (range 250–350). A multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess the independent predictors of RNRVAS.ResultsRNRVAS was observed in 69 of the 177 patients (39.0%) during atrial threshold test. In patients with VA conduction, incidence of RNRVAS increased to 76.7%. In univariate analysis, younger age (p = .038) and the presence of VA conduction (p < .001) were associated with an increased risk of RNRVAS, whereas complete AV block or any AV node conduction defect (p < .001) and the ventricular pacing ratio (p = .001) were inversely related to the risk of RNRVAS occurrence after loss of atrial capture. In multivariate analysis complete AV block (p = .009) and ventricular pacing ratio (p = .029) appeared as independent factors inversely related to the risk of RNRVAS development.ConclusionIn this study, we demonstrated that loss of atrial capture results in RNRVAS in one‐third of patients with a CIED in DDD mode, and in three‐fourths of those with VA conduction under certain predisposing CIED settings.

AbstractGraduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs), or student instructors, are the crucial force in college for undergraduates' learning in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) disciplines. However, professional development of student instructors is often neglected. Providing adequate and appropriate teacher training for student instructors is a critical challenge. When the technology is available, open‐source non‐immersive virtual reality (VR) can be a cost‐efficient and accessible platform for teacher training. Empirical research of designing and implementing VR for the training on teaching knowledge and skills development is inconclusive and thus warranted. In this ex post facto study, we investigated VR‐based teacher training with 33 STEM student instructors to explore the effects on the participants' virtual teaching practices of two design factors: (1) the simulated teaching scenario and (2) the duration of training program implementation. We analysed 7604 event logs from the recordings of their virtual teaching sessions. The results of ordinal logistic regression analyses showed two factors contributed to higher odds of appropriate teaching actions. The first is the simulated scenarios that induced a more dynamic balance of domain‐specific and pedagogical knowledge for decision making in teaching; the second is the teacher training program with a longer duration.
Practitioner notesWhat is already know about this topic
Teacher training, especially for college graduate teaching assistants in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) disciplines, is a key for the success of undergraduate students in STEM.
Virtual reality (VR)‐supported simulation‐based learning has been found effective for enhancing knowledge and skills development in diverse settings, including when being used for teacher training.

What this paper adds
A guiding framework for the investigation of scenario design and duration of implementation in VR‐supported teacher training.
VR scenarios that encourage more dynamic balance of domain‐specific and pedagogical knowledge for decision making in teaching have higher odds for appropriate teaching acts.
A longer duration of program implementation in VR can result in higher odds for appropriate teaching acts.

Implications for practice
We should carefully consider appropriate scenario designs in VR to enhance dynamic decision making and interactivity in simulation‐based teaching practices for teacher training.
We encourage extended duration of VR teacher training programs to facilitate teachers' observant, autonomous and attentive VR‐based micro teaching practices.

AbstractConservation planning and decision‐making rely on evaluations of biodiversity status and threats that are based upon species' distribution estimates. However, gaps exist regarding automated tools to delineate species' current ranges from distribution estimates and use those estimates to calculate both species‐ and community‐level biodiversity metrics. Here, we introduce changeRangeR, an R package that facilitates workflows to reproducibly transform estimates of species' distributions into metrics relevant for conservation. For example, by combining predictions from species distribution models (SDMs) with other maps of environmental data (e.g., suitable forest cover), researchers can characterize the proportion of a species' range that is under protection, metrics used under the IUCN Criteria A and B guidelines (Area of Occupancy and Extent of Occurrence), and other more general metrics such as taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity and endemism. Further, changeRangeR facilitates temporal comparisons among biodiversity metrics to inform efforts toward complementarity and consideration of future scenarios in conservation decisions. changeRangeR also provides tools to determine the effects of modeling decisions through sensitivity tests. Transparent and repeatable workflows for calculating biodiversity change metrics from SDMs such as those provided by changeRangeR are essential to inform conservation decision‐making efforts and represent key extensions for SDM methodology and associated metadata documentation.
Comparing species and evolutionary diversity metrics to inform conservation
Authors: González‐Orozco Carlos E. , Parra‐Quijano Mauricio 
Published: December 2022

AbstractPhylogenetic diversity (PD) is an important measure for identifying areas of conservation. Phylogenetic diversity is a robust biodiversity metric because it accounts for the relationships among species, and not just the number of species. For this reason, it is an essential element for conservation planning. Unfortunately, PD metrics are not used by many for conservation planning. In the case of Colombia, which is rich in crop and wild plant biodiversity, lacks information on genetic resources of Crop Wild Relatives (CWR). Due to deforestation and agriculture expansion, the habitat, where these crop wild relatives grow, is being reduced at an alarming rate and could be destroyed altogether. This study focuses on crop wild relatives in Colombia, comparing species diversity versus PD‐based metrics to show the advantages of using evolutionary information for conservation planning. We identified new areas with high PD and endemism among CWR diversity which are important to establishing comprehensive conservation strategies.

Published: December 2022

SummaryA 4‐year‐old gelding was referred to the clinic with a history of haematuria and stranguria after exercise. Transrectal examination and endoscopy of the urinary bladder revealed the presence of a cystolith. The patient underwent general anaesthesia to remove the bladder stone through a para‐inguinal approach. A layer of calcium carbonate was found covering a foreign body acting as the nidus of the urolith. The foreign body was a 4 × 3 cm rubber tie of unknown origin. Surgery and recovery were uneventful without recurrence of clinical signs for up to 2 years after surgery. This is the first published report describing a laparocystotomy for removal of a cystolith secondary to an intravesical foreign body in a gelding. Migration of a foreign body into the urinary bladder, although very uncommon, is possible.

AbstractCancer immunotherapy is now the first‐line treatment for many unresectable cancers. However, it remains far from a complete cure for all patients. Therefore, it is necessary to develop innovative methods for cancer immunotherapy, and immune cell therapy could be an option. Currently, several institutions are attempting to generate immune cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for use in cancer immunotherapy. A method for generating dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (MPs) from iPSC has been established. iPSC‐derived DCs (iPS‐DCs) can activate T cells via antigen presentation, and iPSC‐derived macrophages (iPS‐MPs) attack cancer. Since iPSCs are used as the source, genetic modification is easy, and various immune functions, such as the production of anti‐tumour cytokines, can be added. Furthermore, when iPS‐DCs and iPS‐MPs are immortalized, cost reduction through mass production is theoretically possible. In this review, the achievements of cancer research using iPS‐DCs and iPS‐MPs are summarized, and the prospects for the future are discussed.

AbstractObjectiveThis study evaluated family of origin adversity and later marital satisfaction, and the possible moderating role of relational communication ability of husbands and wives.BackgroundFamily of origin adversity, including parental marital conflict, has a significant negative relationship with offspring's marital decisions, dynamics, and outcomes. Because people with family of origin adversity cannot change their past experiences, studying moderating factors could be helpful for couples' marital satisfaction.MethodThis study examined dyadic data from the Couple Relationships and Transition Experience (CREATE) study, a nationally representative sample of 1,471 newlywed couples in the United States. The study employed an actor–partner interdependence model to evaluate communication as a moderator for links between family of origin adversity and relationship satisfaction.ResultsThe study confirmed the negative relationship between family of origin adversity and subsequent marital satisfaction for actors and partners for both husbands and wives. Further, the study found that relational communication ability by either partner offset negative links between wives' family of origin adversity and husbands' martial satisfaction, but not wives' martial satisfaction.ConclusionThis study confirmed the salience of family of origin adversity as couples establish new marriages. It also highlighted the value of communication as a possible path toward intervention regarding negative experiences from a family of origin, particularly when considering connections between wives' family of origin adversity and husbands' relationship satisfaction.ImplicationsThis research suggests couple communication may be a valuable tool with application for couples, family life educators, and couple therapists as they help couples successfully navigate difficulties from their families of origin.

SummaryThe research was aimed to study the impact of various treatments on characteristics of bio‐calcium from hybrid catfish bone. Bio‐calcium from hybrid catfish bones (raw bone) was prepared using several 4 steps including high‐pressure water jet process (washed bone), soaking in alkaline solution (protein removal), ethanol immersion process (lipid removal), bleaching and grinding to obtain bio‐calcium powder. The obtained bio‐calcium had a yield of 14.46 g 100 g−1. Bio‐calcium had low protein, fat and moisture contents but had high ash content (P ≤ 0.05). Bio‐calcium was rich in calcium and phosphorus. Bio‐calcium contained high hydroxyproline content of 27.70 mg g−1 samples. Moreover, high contents of proline, glycine, aspartic acid alanine and glutamic acid were found in bio‐calcium. The ethanol immersion, bleaching and grinding process effectively decreased Thiobarbituric acid‐reactive substances (TBARS) values and total volatile acids (P ≤ 0.05) of bio‐calcium powder compared with washed bone, protein and lipid removal processes. Therefore, this research provided an alternative source for bio‐calcium production, which can develop as fortified in food products, calcium supplements and biomedical applications.
‘If there is nothing else there is teaching’: Professional identity of preservice teachers in Pakistan
Authors: Nawab Ali , Zada Khan 
Published: December 2022

AbstractCoupled with developing required knowledge, skills and attitude, preservice teacher education is said to influence professional identity of a student teacher. This research aimed to understand professional identity development of prospective teachers who recently completed their 4‐year preservice teacher education programme in a public university in Pakistan. To achieve the stated purpose, the research used a case study approach and collected data through semistructured interviews from five preservice teachers who recently completed their preservice education. The data suggested that moral purpose in teaching was the most influential factor in teacher identity development in this region. In addition, the status of teachers in the region, teaching practice, workplace relationships and prospective teachers' own agency influence the way they shape and reshape their professional identity. Although unexplored through a systematic research, teacher identity has been a frequently discussed topic in the context of Pakistan. This paper reports the voices of unheard and less recognized individuals (teachers) from a remote region of Pakistan. It brings forth some significant insights such as the moral purpose of teaching that has received limited attention in teacher identity development.
