Published: June 2022

Aims: This study investigated Length-weight relationships and condition factors of fish species in Ebrie Lagoon (Aghien-Potou sector, Côte d’Ivoire)
Place and Duration of Study: Ebrie Lagoon (Aghien-potou sector) from April 2019 to March 2020.
Methodology: study was conducted during 3 to 4 days continuously in Ebrie Lagoon (Aghien-Potou Sector). Furthermore, monthly fish samples were collected from commercial fishing area at random using gillnets, cast nets, traps, hooks and beach seines.
Results: All Length-Weight regressions were highly significant with the coefficient of determination (r2) ranging from 0.61 in Schilbe mandibularis to 0.90 in Monodactylus sebae and Chrysichthys maurus. An isometric growth was observed for most of species except three of them namely Ethmalosa fimbriata, Pseudotolithus elongatus, and polydactylus quadrifilis. The k values varied from 0.19±0.001 in S. melanotheron to 6.10±0.3 in Monodactylus sebae. The values of b and k denote that the Ebrie lagoon could provide a favourable environment and suitable habitat for the growth of those fish species.
Conclusion: The study provides basic information on length-weight parameters for twenty major fish species collected from Ebrie lagoon (Aghien-Potou sector). Three species namely Ethmalosa fimbriata, Pseudotolithus elongatus and Polydactylus quadrifilis exhibited a trend of positive growth whereas seventeen fish species showed isometric growth. The condition factor k was superior to 1 for 75% of the fish species and inferior to 1 for 25 % of the fish species. These growth trends denote that the lagoon could provide a favourable environment and suitable habitat for the growth of those fish species. Thus it would be interesting to create a protected area near the lagoon in order to ensure the protection of fish species.

Abstract

Introduction
The abuse potential of opioids and other controlled substances is well-known; however, reports of noncontrolled prescription medication (NCPM) misuse deserves further attention. Whereas several studies investigate patterns, motivations, and biochemical mechanisms underlying the misuse potential of NCPM, the clinical significance of NCPM misuse is not well-understood. The primary objectives of this project were to identify prescriber perceptions of NCPM misuse and evaluate patient reported patterns of misuse through survey responses.

Methods
Adult patients admitted to psychiatry services and prescribers working in psychiatry or on a general medicine service during the study time frame were invited to participate. Surveys were collected anonymously for both patients and prescribers.

Results
NCPM misuse was reported by 38.4% of patients. Trazodone (35%) and quetiapine (30%) were most commonly reported as being misused. Opioid (24.1% vs 4.3%; P = .023) and cannabis use disorders (13.8% vs 0%; P = .019) were reported more frequently in patients who misuse NCPM, whereas no difference was seen for other SUDs (P &gt; .05). There was no difference between psychiatric and general medicine prescribers regarding familiarity with NCPM misuse (n = 21 [87.5%] vs n = 13 [81.3%]; P = .668).

Discussion
High rates of NCPM misuse were seen in this patient population. Our findings confirm previous reports of quetiapine misuse and also reveal that trazodone is frequently misused. Based on the observations in this study, the misuse of NCPM is identified as prevalent and noteworthy at our institution, warranting provider education and future studies.
Dark‐Operative Protochlorophyllide Oxidoreductase (DPOR)
Authors: Deveryshetty Jaigeeth , Sorg Garrett R , Antony Edwin 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Dark‐operative protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (DPOR) is a nitrogenase‐like enzyme that catalyzes the stereospecific two‐electron reduction of protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) to chlorophyllide (Chlide). Like other electron transfer enzymes, DPOR has an intricate structural assembly of two identical functional halves with a twofold symmetry featuring a homodimer of electron donor subunits (BchL) and a substrate‐binding complex (BchNB) that coordinates a Fe‐S cluster. DPOR higher‐order assembly provides an exquisite allosteric control and long‐range communication. Electron transfer from BchL to BchNB reduces the Pchlide sequentially one electron at a time on each half allowing the complex to count how many electrons have been transferred. Further, Asp274 donates a proton to the substrate bound in the opposite half of the symmetric complex. Mutation of D274 in one‐half of the assembled complex completely abolishes reduction activity, suggesting proton donors are critical allosteric residues in other oxidoreductases. Further study of DPOR and other oxidoreductases is necessary to establish the biophysical principles governing electron transfer processes.
Machine learning for contour classification in TG‐263 noncompliant databases

Published: June 2022

AbstractA large volume of medical data are labeled using nonstandardized nomenclature. Although efforts have been made by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) to standardize nomenclature through Task Group 263 (TG‐263), there remain noncompliant databases. This work aims to create an algorithm that can analyze anatomical contours in patients with head and neck cancer and classify them into TG‐263 compliant nomenclature. To create an accurate algorithm capable of such classification, a combined approaching using both binary images of individual slices of anatomical contours themselves, as well as center of mass coordinates of the structures are input into a neural network. The center of mass coordinates were scaled using two normalization schemes, a simple linear normalization scheme agnostic of the patient anatomy, and an anatomical normalization scheme dependent on patient anatomy. The results of all of the individual slice classifications are then aggregated into a single classification by means of a voting algorithm. The total classification accuracy of the final algorithms was 97.6% mean accuracy per class for nonanatomically normalization scheme, and 97.9% mean accuracy per class for anatomically normalization scheme. The total accuracy was 99.0% (13 errors in 1302 structures) for the nonanatomically normalization scheme, and 98.3% (22 errors in 1302 structures) for the anatomically normalization scheme.

AbstractThe growing severity of environmental problems such as plastic waste and climate change has inspired active research into solutions based on recyclable and renewable energy devices. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) that convert wasted mechanical energy into electrical energy offer a solution that needs to be made recyclable to reduce or eliminate the generation of electronic waste (e‐waste) on their disposal. In this study, an all‐recyclable TENG (AR‐TENG) based on a thermoplastic polymer with a nanohole pattern is developed; it delivers an excellent output power density of 1.547 W m−2 (peak output voltage = 360 V, current = 22 µA) and shows superior mechanochemical stability by maintaining its performance after immersion into seawater or 1 000 000 cyclic tests. The practical utility of this AR‐TENG is demonstrated through its use to power a buoy‐type ocean monitoring system and an intelligent life jacket, whereas recyclability is demonstrated by the re‐fabrication of the AR‐TENG; reusability in other devices is validated by the successful fabrication of a plasmonic color filter. This work paves the way for the efficient harvesting of renewable energy without the concomitant production of e‐waste; therefore, it contributes to the mitigation of global environmental problems such as global warming and ozone depletion.

Published: June 2022

AbstractUse of cover crops with conservation tillage systems can affect soil chemical and biological properties. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the effect of long‐term (1994–2016) no‐till (NT) and reduced‐till (RT) cropping systems on soil chemical properties and soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) egg population densities on claypan soils in northeast Missouri. Treatments included a corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) rotation with three tillage–cropping systems: (a) NT corn–soybean–wheat with double‐crop soybean (NTDCS), (b) NT corn–soybean–wheat with frost‐seeded red clover (Trifolium pretense L.) cover crop (NTFSC), and (c) RT corn–soybean–wheat. Each crop (corn, soybean, and wheat) and tillage system (NTDCS, NTFSC, and RT) was represented every year in nine large plots and replicated four times. Soil was sampled to a 15 cm depth to evaluate soil chemical properties (1994, 2002–2016) and SCN egg densities (2002–2015). Soil test pHs, P, and K were ranked RT = NTDCS > NTFSC, RT > NTDCS = NTFSC and RT > NTFSC > NTDCS, respectively. Long‐term NTFSC cover crop had the greatest soil organic matter levels in four of the 16 yr. When combined over years, SCN egg densities were lowest in NTFSC following corn, soybean, or wheat, which indicates the benefit of NT and extended crop rotations to help manage this pest.

Published: June 2022

AbstractInvestigations on nanomedicine involve conventional two dimensional (2D) imaging techniques for observing the nanoparticle internalization at a single time point where various phases of internalization can be overlooked. In contrast, three dimensional (3D) imaging of fluorescent nanoparticles with anticancer potential can be used for obtaining the time course of cellular retention of particles, and cells can be followed for days. This article demonstrates the application of laser scanning confocal microscopy to quantify poly‐l‐lysine coated fluorescent ZnO nanoparticle retention and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation using volumetric imaging. Synthesis of these particles allows monitoring of ROS formation, internalization, and cytotoxicity using the same imaging platform that offers an advantage over measurement using various instruments. PLL‐coated ZnO particles' ability to induce a significant reduction in cell‐viability suggests its potential as a therapeutic agent. The proposed framework opens up a new avenue for investigating mechanistic aspects of ZnO adsorption and the evaluation of therapeutic efficiency.

ObjectiveRehabilitation top‐down techniques based on brain stimulation present variable outcomes in unilateral spatial neglect (USN) after stroke. This study aimed to examine the effects of physical therapy after anodal and cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (A‐tDCS and C‐tDCS, respectively) to improve visuospatial and functional impairments in individuals with USN after stroke.MethodsThis double‐blinded, pilot randomized clinical trial enrolled patients with USN after ischemic stroke. Randomization was stratified according to the Behavior Inattention Test–Conventional (BIT‐C) and Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS). Outpatient physical therapy was conducted for 7.5 weeks after 20 minutes of tDCS. The primary outcome was the USN degree evaluated by the BIT‐C. Secondary outcomes were the difference in CBS score, stroke severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS]), disability (modified Rankin Scale), autonomy (Barthel Index, Functional Independence Measure), and quality of life (EuroQol Group 5‐Dimension Self‐Report Questionnaire). Outcomes were analyzed using an analysis of covariance model corrected by age, baseline NIHSS, and baseline BIT‐C. Pairwise post hoc comparisons were performed using Bonferroni correction.ResultsIn the primary outcomes, A‐tDCS led to greater improvement in BIT‐C after intervention (mean difference [MD] = 18.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.9–32.8, p = 0.008) compared to sham. However, no significant differences were observed between A‐tDCS and C‐tDCS (MD = 13.9, 95% CI = −0.3 to 28.1, p = 0.057), or C‐tDCS and sham (MD = 4.5, 95% CI = −9.7 to 18.8, p = 0.99). There were no significant differences between groups in terms of secondary outcomes.InterpretationA‐tDCS associated with physical therapy can decrease the severity of USN after stroke. However, these preliminary findings must be confirmed by collecting additional evidence in a larger phase 3 trial. ANN NEUROL 2022;92:400–410

Published: June 2022

AbstractCraniovascular traits in the endocranium (traces of middle meningeal vessels and dural venous sinuses, emissary foramina) provide evidence of vascular anatomy in osteological samples. We investigate the craniovascular variation in four South American samples and the effect of artificial cranial modifications (ACM). CT scans of human adult crania from four archeological samples from southern South America (including skulls with ACM) are used for the analyses. The craniovascular features in the four samples are described, skulls with and without ACM are compared, and additionally, South Americans are compared to a previously analyzed sample of Europeans. Of the four South American samples, the Southern Patagonian differs the most, showing the most distinct cranial dimensions, no ACM, and larger diameters of the emissary foramina. Unlike previous studies, we did not find any major differences in craniovascular features between modified and non‐modified skulls, except that the skulls with ACM present somewhat smaller foramina. South Americans significantly differed from Europeans, especially in the anteroposterior dominance of the middle meningeal artery, in the pattern of sinus confluence, in the occurrence of enlarged occipito‐marginal sinuses, and in foramina frequencies and diameters. Craniovascular morphology is not affected by the cranial size, even in skulls with ACM, indicating a minor or null influence of structural topological factors. Concerning the samples from distinct geographic and climatic environments, it must be evaluated whether the craniovascular morphogenesis might be partially influenced by specific functions possibly associated with thermoregulation, intracranial pressure, and the maintenance of intracranial homeostasis.

Published: June 2022

AbstractCarbon dots (CDs), as an attractive zero‐dimensional carbon nanomaterial with unique photoluminescent merits, have recently exhibited significant application potential in gas sensing as a result of their excellent optical/electronic characteristics, high chemical/thermal stability, and tunable surface states. CDs exhibit strong light absorption in the ultraviolet range and tunable photoluminescence characteristics in the visible range, which makes CDs an effective tool for optical sensing applications. Optical gas sensor based on CDs have been investigated, which generally responds to the target gas by corresponding changes in optical absorption or fluorescence. Moreover, electrical gas sensor and quartz crystal microbalance sensor whose sensing layer involves CDs have also been designed. Electrical gas sensor exhibits an increase or a decrease in electrical current, capacitance, or conductance once exposed to the target gas. Quartz crystal microbalance sensor responds to the target gas with a frequency shift. CDs greatly promote the absorption of the target gas and improve the sensitivity of both sensors. In this review, we aim to summarize different types of gas sensors involving CDs, and sensing performances of these sensors for monitoring diverse gases or vapors, as well as the mechanisms of CDs in different types of sensors. Moreover, this review provides the prospect of the potential development of CDs based gas sensors.

Published: June 2022

AbstractVirgin coconut oil (VCO) has become a multifunctional material for biomedical applications due to its remarkable health benefits. The use of VCO for biomedical applications has seen tremendous growth over recent years, triggering researchers to develop various approaches for VCO utilization. Nanofibers‐based structure offers promising properties to encapsulate VCO, enhancing its performance and broadening its application in the medical field. Studies of VCO‐loaded polymeric nanofibers for biomedical applications are currently gradually rising. Recently, in nanofibers technology, centrifugal jet spinning (CJS) offers cost‐efficient and higher production rates to yield nanofibers compared to the other methods. This review summarizes recent advances of VCO for biomedical applications. Comprehensive suggestions for encapsulating VCO into nanofibers using the CJS technique are also provided. Highlights of future challenges in utilizing the CJS technique to produce VCO‐loaded nanofibers for biomedical applications are also elaborated.
Bifunctional Acid‐Base Zirconium Phosphonate for Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation of Levulinic Acid and Cascade Transformation of Furfural to Biofuel Molecules
Authors: Manal Arjun K. , Advani Jacky H. , Srivastava Rajendra 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe production of biofuels, such as furfural ether and γ‐valerolactone (GVL) from biomass platform chemicals furfural (FFA) and Levulinic acid (LA) is of significant interest. In this study, a nanoporous inorganic‐organic Zr−phosphonate catalyst (ZrNPO3) was synthesized and employed in the selective production of GVL (98.2 %) via catalytic transfer hydrogenation of LA. The catalyst containing acid‐base sites was further used to produce biofuel molecules like GVL and furfuryl ether under a mild reaction condition via cascade furfural transformation. The GVL selectivity was further improved using phosphotungstic acid@ZrNPO3. The catalytic optimization studies were combined with poisoning studies and the detailed physicochemical characterization to acquire insight into the structure‐activity correlation and reaction mechanism. The synergistic presence of the Lewis acidity and basicity on the catalyst was responsible for its remarkable activity. Designing a single catalyst for the one‐pot tandem transformation of FFA to GVL would be highly motivating for catalysis researchers and industrialists.
Reagentless detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B via electrochemical interrogation of conformational changes
Authors: Wang Xiaohong , Da Jianping , Liu Yuanjian 
Published: June 2022

AbstractAn electrochemical biosensor for staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) detection has been designed on the basis of electrochemical interrogation of conformational changes. Ferrocene‐labeled hairpin probe (Fc‐HP) and SEB aptamer are introduced for the construction of the platform. Without SEB, the rigid construction of DNA duplex that included SEB aptamer and Fc‐HP prevented Fc getting access to the electrode surface, keeping the “eT‐off” state in the detection system. In the presence of SEB, the interaction between SEB and the aptamer could trigger the disruption of DNA duplex and the restoration of hairpin structure, accompanied by the increase of Fc oxidation current. The decreasing distance between the redox probe and electrode upon the nucleic acid reconfiguration substantially increased the efficiency of eT, which resulted in the enhanced Fc signal. The proposed strategy presented a wide linear detection range from 0.005 to 100 ng mL−1 with a detection limit down to 3 pg mL−1 (S/N = 3). To investigate the applicability and reliability of the method in real food samples such as milk samples, we compared the results between this method and the commercial ELISA kit. The relative percentage error between the two assays ranged from −6.42% to 6.31%, indicating that there was no obvious difference between the results.

Published: June 2022

AbstractA specially designed high‐throughput experimentation facility, used for the highly effective exploration of electrolyte formulations in composition space for diverse battery chemistries and targeted applications, is presented. It follows a high‐throughput formulation‐characterization‐optimization chain based on a set of previously established electrolyte‐related requirements. Here, the facility is used to acquire large dataset of ionic conductivities of non‐aqueous battery electrolytes in the conducting salt‐solvent/co‐solvent‐additive composition space. The measured temperature dependence is mapped on three generalized Arrhenius parameters, including deviations from simple activated dynamics. This reduced dataset is thereafter analyzed by a scalable data‐driven workflow, based on linear and Gaussian process regression, providing detailed information about the compositional dependence of the conductivity. Complete insensitivity to the addition of electrolyte additives for otherwise constant molar composition is observed. Quantitative dependencies, for example, on the temperature‐dependent conducting salt content for optimum conductivity are provided and discussed in light of physical properties such as viscosity and ion association effects.
