Published: July 2023

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has unique properties that make it a promising alternative to traditional concrete. However, its prediction and design remain challenging due to the complex interaction of multiple factors. Traditional methods are limited in scope, and often inaccurate. This study presents a multi-objective predicting and evaluating model for SCC using machine learning techniques, particularly random forest algorithm. The model predicts flowability, mechanical property, and durability using nine critical features. The dataset used in this study consisted of 376 samples, and the model achieved high accuracy for predicting all three performance indicators, with R2 values of 0.94 for compressive strength, 0.92 for slump flow, and 0.94 for rapid chloride permeability. The importance analysis results suggest that the weight of binder and sand are the two most critical factors that affect SCC properties. This approach provides a valuable tool for engineers and researchers in the field of concrete science and technology, improving the quality and durability of concrete structures.

Published: July 2023

Antecedentes: La Coartación de la aorta es una patología congénita que se describe como el estrechamiento de la aorta, ocasionando obstáculo del paso de la sangre; a esta enfermedad se atribuye del 8 al 10% de cardiopatías genéticas, lo que equivale a 4/10000 nacidos vivos y suele ser detectada en edad adulta.
Objetivo: Establecer el diagnóstico, tratamiento y controversia acerca de la Coartación de la Aorta en pacientes pediátricos. Métodos: Revisión bibliográfica de tipo narrativa. Resultados: Los métodos con la tasa más alta de eficacia en diagnóstico para fetos y recién nacidos son el ecocardiograma y la medición arterial bajo los parámetros cardíacos, más del 50% de casos reportados fueron confirmados posterior al nacimiento; los métodos de tratamiento usados son la angioplastia con balón y colocación de stent permitiendo la mejoría de los pacientes, tomando en cuenta la incidencia del 10 y 20% de reintervención en los pacientes tratados. Aunque existe cierta controversia, autores recomiendan la angioplastia con balón en recién nacidos; mientras que otros grupos demuestran que una corrección quirúrgica para el tratamiento es efectiva. Conclusiones: La Coartación de la aorta es un defecto, que generalmente es diagnosticada después del nacimiento, entre los exámenes complementarios pueden ser el ecocardiograma, tomografía axial computarizada y resonancia magnética. El tratamiento de mayor utilidad puede ser la angioplastia con balón o inserción de stent, es importante que los pacientes reparados tengan un seguimiento a largo plazo por los posibles riesgos.

Published: July 2023

AbstractEffective and safe delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) by nanomaterials to cancer cells is one of the main challenges in cancer treatment. In this study, we constructed the selenium nanoparticles conjugated with RGDfC (one tumor-targeted polypeptide) to prepare a biocompatible gene vector (RGDfC-SeNPs) and then loaded with siDCBLD2 to synthesize the RGDfC-Se@siDCBLD2 for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy. As expected, RGDfC-SeNPs could enhance the cellular uptake of siDCBLD2 in human HCT-116 colon cancer cells by targeting polypeptide RGDfC on the surface of colon cancer cells. RGDfC-Se@siDCBLD2 could be effectively internalized by HCT-116 cells mainly through a clathrin-related endocytosis pathway. In addition, RGDfC-Se@siDCBLD2 exhibited high siRNA release efficiency in an acidic tumor environment. Moreover, RGDfC-Se@siDCBLD2 could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis in HCT-116 cells by special silencing gene DCBLD2 expression. RGDfC-Se@siDCBLD2 could be specifically accumulated to the tumor sites and exhibited significantly anti-CRC efficacy on HCT-116 tumor-bearing mice without obvious side effects. Taken together, these results suggest that selenium nanoparticles can be used as an effective gene vector with good biocompatibility, and RGDfC-Se@siDCBLD2 provides a promising strategy for combining tumor-target and siRNA delivery in treating CRC.
Advance directives in palliative care—a new tool to improve the communication between patients and caregivers?
Authors: Martins Catarina Sampaio , Cadavez Emanuel , Nunes Rui 
Published: July 2023

Background: In palliative care, caregivers frequently act as surrogate decision-makers, but their knowledge of patients' preferences for end-of-life care is sometimes scarce and incorrect. Advance Directives might be a powerful communication tool to promote the dialogue between patients and caregivers. Aims: This work aims to find evidence supporting the use of the Advance Directives documents by health practitioners as a communication tool to improve caregivers' capacity as health surrogates in palliative care. Methods: A literature review was conducted in four databases—Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane to identify studies published until February 27th, 2021, analysing advance directive's use as a communication tool between palliative patients and their caregivers. Findings: Of the 1251 papers screened, only one article met the defined criteria, presenting results statistically favourable to advance directive's use, although with the risk of significant bias. Conclusions: Although the results seem promising, more studies are needed to validate this strategy scientifically.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Lithium dendrites produced during the process of lithium metal cycling lead to poor cycle stability and safety problems, seriously hindering the practical application and commercialization of lithium metal. In this work, a facile method is used to coat lithium titanate (LTO) onto polypropylene (PP), resulting in the formation of a lithium titanate separator (LTO@PP). The characteristic properties such as morphology, EIS, and electrochemical performance of the LTO@PP separator are systematically investigated. The results prove that the transformation from Li4Ti5O12 into Li7Ti5O12 during the first cycle of discharge promotes the transfer of Li+, thus accelerating the migration dynamics of lithium ions in the LTO@PP separator. The LTO@PP-based cell can stably cycle for more than 4800 hours in a Li symmetrical battery at a high current density of 3 mA cm− 2, with an overvoltage as low as 6 mV. The Li | Cu battery can stably cycle for more than 380 cycles under a deposition rate of 1mAh/cm2. Additionally, the LTO@PP separator-based LFP cell displays a high capacity retention rate and excellent rate performance. Compared with current separator modification methods, this work provides a promising prospect for the simple and rapid preparation of modified separators.

Authors: Carlson Janet F. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This historical commentary describes formative events in the history of test reviewing as it has unfolded over the past 8 decades and recounts how the tradition established by Oscar Krisen Buros has continued and evolved since his death in 1978. The narrative provides the context in which psychological tests first appeared and subsequent concerns about their quality and claims made by their respective publishers. The discussion then recounts the test reviewing efforts undertaken by Oscar Buros to address these issues, discusses challenges faced during the early years of these efforts, and reviews the contributions of Luella Buros, Oscar's wife. Reference volumes in the Mental Measurements Yearbook series that Oscar Buros founded in 1938 continue to provide independent expert reviews of tests representing a wide spectrum of mental measurements that are used for a variety of purposes. The article concludes with a description of how Buros's mission to improve the science and practice of testing and assessment has been preserved and extended.

Reconstruction of the human lower esophageal sphincter based on ultra-mill imaging for biomechanical analysis
Authors: Xu Jack , Wijenayaka Savindi , Avci Recep , Cheng Leo K. , Du Peng 
Published: July 2023

Introduction: The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) controls the passage into the stomach and prevents reflex of contents into the esophagus. Dysfunctions of this region typically involves impairment of muscular function, leading to diseases including gastro-esophageal reflux disease and achalasia. The main objective of this study was to develop a finite element model from a unique human LES dataset reconstructed from an ultra-mill imaging setup, and then to investigate the effect of anatomical characteristics on intraluminal pressures.Methods: A pipeline was developed to generate a mesh from a set of input images, which were extracted from a unique ultra-mill sectioned human LES. A total of 216 nodal points with cubic Hermite basis function was allocated to reconstruct the LES, including the longitudinal and circumferential muscles. The resultant LES mesh was used in biomechanical simulations, utilizing a previously developed LES mathematical model based on the Visible Human data to calculate intraluminal pressures. Anatomical and functional comparisons were made between the Ultra-mill and Visible human models.Results: Overall, the Ultra-mill model contained lower cavity (1,796 vs. 5,400 mm3) and muscle (1,548 vs. 15,700 mm3) volumes than the Visible Human model. The Ultra-mill model also developed a higher basal pressure (13.8 vs. 14.7 mmHg) and magnitude of pressure (19.8 vs. 18.9 mmHg) during contraction. Out of all the geometric transformations (i.e., uniform enlargement of volume, lengthening along the center-axis, dilation of the diameter, and increasing muscle thickness), the muscle volume was found to be the main contributor of basal and magnitude of pressures. Increases in length also caused proportional increases to pressures, while dilation of diameter had a less influential reverse effect.Discussion: The findings provide information on interindividual variability in LES pressure and demonstrates that anatomy has a large influence on pressures. This model forms the basis of more complex simulations involving food bolus transport and predicting LES dysfunctions.
