Published: February 2023

AbstractMutualisms are driven by partners deciding to interact with one another to gain specific services or rewards. As predicted by biological market theory, partners should be selected based on the likelihood, quality, reward level, and or services each partner can offer. Third-party species that are not directly involved in the interaction, however, may indirectly affect the occurrence and or quality of the services provided, thereby affecting which partners are selected or avoided. We investigated how different clients of the sharknose goby (Elacatinus evelynae) cleaner fish were distributed across cleaning stations, and asked what characteristics, relating to biological market theory, affected this distribution. Through quantifying the visitation and cleaning patterns of client fish that can choose which cleaning station(s) to visit, we found that the relative species richness of visiting clients at stations was negatively associated with the presence of disruptive territorial damselfish at the station. Our study highlights, therefore, the need to consider the indirect effects of third-party species and their interactions (e.g., agonistic interactions) when attempting to understand mutualistic interactions between species. Moreover, we highlight how cooperative interactions may be indirectly governed by external partners.

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe ability to localize sounds in patients with Unilateral Hearing Loss (UHL) is usually disrupted due to alteration in the integration of binaural cues. Nonetheless, some patients are able to compensate deficit using adaptive strategies. In this study, we explored the neural correlates underlying this adaptation. Twenty-one patients with UHL were separated into 3 groups using cluster analysis based on their binaural performance. The resulting clusters were referred to as better, moderate, and poorer performers cluster (BPC, MPC, and PPC). We measured the mismatch negativity (MMN) elicited by deviant sounds located at 10°, 20°, and 100° from a standard positioned at 50° ipsilateral to the deaf ear. The BPC exhibited significant MMN for all 3 deviants, similar to normal hearing (NH) subjects. In contrast, there was no significant MMN for 10° and 20° deviants for the PPC and for NH when one ear was plugged and muffed. Scalp distribution was maximal over central regions in BPC, while PPC showed more frontal MMN distribution. Thus, the BPC exhibited a contralateral activation pattern, similar to NH, while the PPC exhibited more symmetrical hemispheric activation. MMN can be used as a neural marker to reflect spatial adaptation in patients with UHL.

AbstractObjectiveThe adipogenic PPARG-encoded PPARγ nuclear receptor also displays essential placental functions. We evaluated the metabolic, reproductive, and perinatal features of patients with PPARG-related lipodystrophy.MethodsCurrent and retrospective data were collected in patients referred to a National Rare Diseases Reference Centre.Results26 patients from 15 unrelated families were studied (18 women, median age 43 years). They carried monoallelic PPARG variants except a homozygous patient with congenital generalized lipodystrophy. Among heterozygous patients aged 16 or more (n = 24), 92% had diabetes, 96% partial lipodystrophy (median age at diagnosis 24 and 37 years), 78% hypertriglyceridaemia, 71% liver steatosis, and 58% hypertension. The mean BMI was 26 ± 5.0 kg/m2. Women (n = 16) were frequently affected by acute pancreatitis (n = 6) and/or polycystic ovary syndrome (n = 12). Eleven women obtained one or several pregnancies, all complicated by diabetes (n = 8), hypertension (n = 4), and/or hypertriglyceridaemia (n = 10). We analysed perinatal data of patients according to the presence (n = 8) or absence (n = 9) of a maternal dysmetabolic environment. The median gestational age at birth was low in both groups (37 and 36 weeks of amenorrhea, respectively). As expected, the birth weight was higher in patients exposed to a foetal dysmetabolic environment of maternal origin. In contrast, 85.7% of non-exposed patients, in whom the variant is, or is very likely to be, paternally-inherited, were small for gestational age.ConclusionsLipodystrophy-related PPARG variants induce early metabolic complications. Our results suggest that placental expression of PPARG pathogenic variants carried by affected foetuses could impair prenatal growth and parturition. This justifies careful pregnancy monitoring in affected families.

Published: February 2023

AbstractAimsRecent evidence suggest that the lipoprotein(a)-associated risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) may be observed only in individuals with low-grade systemic inflammation. It was hypothesized that high lipoprotein(a) is a main driver for the risk of ASCVD, myocardial infarction, and aortic valve stenosis irrespective of C-reactive protein levels.Methods and resultsA total of 68 090 individuals from the Copenhagen General Population Study, a prospective cohort study, were included. During a median follow-up of 8.1 years, 5104 individuals developed ASCVD, 2432 myocardial infarction, and 1220 aortic valve stenosis. The risk of ASCVD, myocardial infarction, and aortic valve stenosis increased with higher values of both lipoprotein(a) and C-reactive protein. For individuals with lipoprotein(a) in the 91st–100th percentiles (≥70 mg/dl, ≥147 nmol/l) vs. the 1st–33rd percentiles (≤6 mg/dl, ≤9 nmol/l), the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio for ASCVD was 1.61 (95% confidence interval 1.43–1.81) for those with C-reactive protein &lt;2 mg/l and 1.57 (1.36–1.82) for those with C-reactive protein ≥2 mg/l (P for interaction = 0.87). The corresponding values were 2.08 (1.76–2.45) and 1.65 (1.34–2.04) for myocardial infarction, and 2.01 (1.59–2.55) and 1.73 (1.31–2.27) for aortic valve stenosis, respectively (P for interaction = 0.15 and = 0.18). The highest absolute 10-year risks were found in men aged 70–79 years with lipoprotein(a) levels in the 91st–100th percentiles and C-reactive protein ≥2 mg/l, with 34% for ASCVD, 19% for myocardial infarction, and 13% for aortic valve stenosis. The corresponding values in women were 20%, 10%, and 8%, respectively.ConclusionHigh lipoprotein(a) was a main driver for the risk of ASCVD, myocardial infarction, and aortic valve stenosis independent of C-reactive protein levels.
Chinese expert consensus on standardized treatment for presacral cysts
Authors: Wang Gangcheng , Miao Chengli 
Published: February 2023

AbstractPresacral cysts are cystic or cyst–solid lesions between the sacrum and rectum, almost involving adjacent pelvic floorstructures including sacrococcygeal fascia, rectum, and anal sphincter. Presacral cysts are usually benign, currently believed to arise from aberrant embryogenesis. Presacral cysts are clinically rare and the true incidence is unknown. Surgical resection remains the major treatment for presacral cysts. Unless the cysts are completely resected, recurrence is unavoidable. Recurrent cysts or hard-to-heal sinuses in the sacrococcyx cause patients extreme pain. However, the current knowledge of presacral cysts is insufficient. They are occasionally confused with other diseases such as ovarian cysts and perianal abscesses. Moreover, lack of the correct surgical concept and skills leads to palliative treatment for complex presacral cysts and serious complications such as impairing the function of the anal sphincter or important blood vessels and nerves. The consensus summarizes the opinions and experiences of multidisciplinary experts in presacral cysts and aims to provide clinicians with a more defined concept of the treatment, standardize the surgical approach, and improve the efficacy of presacral cysts.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesAn aging population has contributed to increasing rates of sensory impairment (SI) among older adults and a boom in institutional elder care. However, little is known regarding the association between SI and institutional care willingness. This study identified the association between SI and institutional care willingness among older adults living both in urban and rural China.Research Design and MethodsThis was an observational study using the sixth National Health Service Survey of Shandong Province, China, in 2018. A total of 8 583 individuals aged ≥60 years were included. The primary outcome was institutional care willingness. Self-reported SI was categorized as vision impairment (VI), hearing impairment (HI), and dual sensory impairment (DSI). We used multivariable logistic regression models to estimate the association between SI and institutional care willingness, stratified by the place of residence.ResultsThe overall proportion of older adults with institutional care willingness was 7.8%. In fully adjusted models, older adults with HI only (odds ratio [OR] = 1.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12–2.20) or DSI (OR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.14–2.49) were more likely to show institutional care willingness than those without SI in urban areas, but no significant associations between VI only (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.68–1.31), HI only (OR = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.73–1.34), or DSI (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.68–1.31) and institutional care willingness were observed among rural older adults.Discussion and ImplicationsOur results underscore that the relationship between SI and institutional care willingness varied by place of residence, and provide a reference for making targeted and appropriate endowment policies. Improving the quality of institutional elder care is vital for urban older adults with SI, whereas community-based care might be more appropriate for rural older adults with SI.
Seasonal activity and depth distribution of resident yellow-phase American eels (Anguilla rostrata) in a large fluvial ecosystem
Authors: Burliuk Colleen M M , Casselman John M 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The American eel (Anguilla rostrata) is a catadromous species occupying diverse habitats, but little is known about the specific activities of this elusive nocturnal fish. Mobile radio and acoustic telemetry were used to locate 33 transmitter-implanted resident yellow eels (729 ± 22 mm TL), acquiring 1613 locations from 2014 to 2017 in a 21-km2 slow-flowing section of the upper St. Lawrence River. Measurements of distance moved, water depth, and temperature were used to study activity, homing, and site fidelity. Movement was greatest in spring, late April (422 m, median semi-monthly), after emergence from winter dormancy, from their deepest habitat (3.71 ± 0.06 m) to their shallowest (1.74 ± 0.17 m). Activity was low in early summer and early fall (69 m). As temperature reached a maximum during midsummer (24.3 ± 0.29°C), most eels became more active (106 m) and moved deeper (2.46 ± 0.28 m), probably following prey fish. Activity increased in mid-to-late fall (277 m), decreased considerably at ≲8°C when settling into their winter habitat, and ceased at ≲4°C. Temperatures of ≃10°C (8.1–11.1°C) corresponded with the greatest seasonal activity and spring/fall commercial hoop-net catches. These spatial and temporal habitat insights can help focus sampling and assessment procedures, as well as habitat suitability modelling.
Costly Commitments “Under His Eye”: Reconceptualizing the Costly Signaling Theory of Religion
Authors: Potz Maciej 
Published: February 2023

AbstractCostly signaling theory of religion has been proposed to explain the evolutionary adaptiveness of religion in general and, specifically, its prosocial effects, including the relative longevity of religious communes vis-à-vis their secular counterparts. This article focuses on two crucial aspects of this relationship: the features and functions of signals and the mechanism through which signaling translates into enhanced prosociality. It identifies some of the key factors of the costliness of behavior and distinguishes between religious and secular signals, arguing that only the latter serve to broadcast commitment. The role of religious signals, instead, might be to stimulate the supernatural watching (“Under His Eye”) mechanism: enhancing supernatural sanctions beliefs and providing a setting in which implicit prosocial responses are triggered. The relative absence of this mechanism in secular communities may explain their shorter life spans. A link is thus established between the costly signaling and supernatural punishment theories of religious behavior.

AbstractObjectivesIn high-income countries, up to 25% of inpatients have a self-reported penicillin allergy (PA). After testing, 95% of these self-reported PAs are incorrect. These incorrectly labelled PAs increase the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and drive bacterial resistance. The epidemiology of PA in low- and middle-income countries is unknown. We aimed to describe the epidemiology and delabelling outcomes of self-reported PA in South African (SA) inpatients.MethodsWe conducted point prevalence surveys between April 2019 and June 2021 at seven hospitals in Cape Town, South Africa. A team trained in the PEN-FAST allergy decision tool conducted in-person interviews, and reviewed patient notes to identify and risk stratify inpatients with a self-reported PA. These patients were referred to the Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) allergy clinic for delabelling.ResultsA total of 1486 hospital inpatients were surveyed and 3.2% (n = 48) carried a PA label. Importantly, 64.6% (n = 31) were classified by PEN-FAST as low risk for true penicillin hypersensitivity. Overall, 25% of the self-reported PAs received a β-lactam antibiotic in hospital and were directly delabelled. Delabelling attrition was very high, with 6.3% (3/48) of the self-reported PAs attending the GSH allergy clinic, and only one patient proceeding to a negative oral penicillin challenge.ConclusionsInpatient self-reported PA was lower in South Africa hospitals compared with other upper-middle-income countries, and the majority of patients carried a low-risk PA label. Linkage for delabelling with the allergy clinic was very poor, and thus strategies to improve access and delivery of delabelling remains an urgent public health issue.

Published: February 2023

AbstractAeromonas species are bacterial pathogens that cause significant economic losses in the aquaculture industry worldwide. They are widely distributed in aquatic environments and cause several diseases in both humans and aquatic animals. The presence of various virulent Aeromonas spp. in aquatic environments predisposes infections in aquatic animals and humans. Concern about the transfer of pathogens from fish to humans also increased with the substantial increase in seafood consumption. Aeromonas spp. are also primary human pathogens that cause local and systemic infections, both in immunologically compromised and immunologically competent hosts. The most common Aeromonas spp. causing infections in aquatic animals and humans are A. hydrophila, A. salmonicida, A. caviae, and A. veronii biotype sobria. The ability of Aeromonas spp. to produce a variety of virulence factors enhances their pathogenic ability. Literature has supplied evidence for the presence of various virulence factors, including proteases, enterotoxins, hemolysin, and toxin genes of Aeromonas spp. in aquatic environments. The high prevalence of Aeromonas spp. in the aquatic environment is also a threat to public health. Because the Aeromonas spp. infections in humans are generally the result of ingestion or exposure to contaminated food and water. This review summarizes the recently published information on various virulence factors and virulence genes of Aeromonas spp. isolated from various aquatic environments, including seawater, freshwater, wastewater, and drinking water. It is also intended to highlight the risks associated with Aeromonas species’ virulence properties for both aquaculture and public health.

Abstract

Objective
Assess the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on mental well-being of breast radiologists nationwide two years after the start of the pandemic and compared to early in the pandemic.

Methods
A 27-question survey was distributed from December 2021 to January 2022 to physician members of the Society of Breast Imaging. Psychological distress and anxiety scores were calculated, and factors associated with them were identified with a multivariate logistic model.

Results
A total of 550 surveys were completed (23% response rate); the mean respondent age was 50 +/− 10 years. Fifty percent (265/526) of respondents reported two or more psychological distress symptoms, down from 58% in 2020 (P = 0.002), whereas 70% (362/526) of respondents reported increased anxiety, down from 82% in 2020 (P &lt; 0.001). As in 2020, reporting financial strain and childcare adversely affecting job ability were associated with worse psychological distress scores (OR 3.6, 95% CI: 1.6–8.3, P = 0.02 and OR 6.0, 95% CI: 2.5–14.4, P = 0.002, respectively). Less time spent consulting, educating, and discussing results with patients was associated with higher psychological distress (OR 5.3, 95% CI: 2.1–13.2, P = 0.036) and anxiety (OR 6.4, 95% CI: 2.3–17.5, P &lt; 0.001). Diminished research collaboration was associated with higher anxiety (OR 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1–2.9, P = 0.019).

Conclusion
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause mental health symptoms in breast radiologists, especially for those with pandemic-specific childcare needs and financial distress. Pandemic-related decreased opportunities to connect with patients and colleagues negatively impacts radiologists’ mental health.
Childhood Send-Down Experience and Old-Age Support to Parents: The Twins Experiment in China
Authors: Zhang Hongliang , Zhang Junsen , Zhang Ning 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
In the mass movement of sending urban youth to the countryside during China’s Cultural Revolution, many families with multiple age-eligible children were forced to make a send-down choice among the siblings. We exploit this rare social experiment and employ data on urban twins in China to investigate the effect of childhood send-down experience on children’s old-age support to parents. We find that compared with their twin siblings who had stayed in the city, send-downs were less likely to make a monetary transfer to parents and also tended to transfer less. We show that the inferior transfer behavior of send-downs was not due to any income disadvantage or selection of family’s send-down choice in terms of children’s altruism endowment. After ruling out the income and selection channel explanations, we posit that the inferior transfer behavior of send-downs is driven by the adverse effect of childhood send-down experience on children’s willingness to provide old-age support to parents, which could work through both pure altruism and warm glow.
Histories of Medieval Plague in Renaissance Italy
Authors: Martin Craig 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
During the sixteenth century, Italian scholars revised their conception of the field of history so that its purposes went beyond providing political and morally edifying narratives. These scholars contended that history must also account for culture and nature in an encyclopedic fashion. In the same years, numerous newly available texts from antiquity, the Byzantine empire, and the Middle Ages provided insight into the character of earlier outbreaks of plague. Italian physicians, embracing new visions of the field of history, the culture of humanism, and an inductivist epistemology, used these texts to argue that there were continuities among ancient, medieval, and Renaissance epidemics. They catalogued plague and formed historical categories based on severity and perceived origins, leading to the rejection of the conclusions of fourteenth-century western Europeans who viewed the plague of 1347-1353 as unprecedented. These erudite physicians saw medieval plague to be one example of the extreme epidemics that have regularly occurred throughout history.
— Yiqtol as Evidential Strategy in Biblical Hebrew
Authors: Olivero Vladimir 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The goal of this study is to argue that the — yiqtol construction has an evidential meaning when employed with reference to the past. The yiqtol functions in these situations as an evidential strategy and is used to express the source of information. For instance, Exod. 15:1, which famously begins with , should be understood as ‘then (as reported / as they say) Moses sang’. The words added between brackets refer to the source of information. In most biblical passages where this rare and puzzling construction is attested the evidential yiqtol appears with deictic markers that tie the world of the narrative to that of the authors and of the audience. Interestingly, paratextual elements and redactional observations support the idea that we are dealing with evidential strategies. Finally, the Hebrew Bible seems to contain additional instances of the evidential yiqtol in a similar construction ( — yiqtol).
