Published: May 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of gestational age at laser therapy for twin‐to‐twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) on perinatal outcome.Design and settingsSingle retrospective observational cohort.PopulationAll consecutive pregnancies affected by TTTS and referred to our department between January 2013 and August 2020.MethodsGestational age was modelled both as a categorical and as a continuous variable. Log‐binomial regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (crude and adjusted for placental location, Quintero stage and cervical length) as well as the adjusted predicted probability of survival and fetal loss according to gestational age at laser therapy.Main outcomesFetal and neonatal survival, preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM).ResultsOf the 503 pregnancies referred for TTTS, 431 were treated by laser therapy. Gestational age at laser therapy was positively and significantly associated with the overall survival at birth and at discharge (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.12, 95% CI 1.05–1.19), as with a reduction in double fetal loss (aOR 0.81, 95% CI 0.71–0.92). Conversely, the rate of PPROM before 24 weeks was significantly higher in early cases (32% of PPROM <24 weeks when laser therapy was performed before 17 weeks versus 1.5% after 22 weeks, p < 0.001, aOR 0.60, 95% CI 0.48–0.72). Among the survivors, preterm birth before 28 weeks was significantly related to the gestational age at laser (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.84–0.99), resulting in a significant impact on neonatal morbidity (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.85–0.97).ConclusionOur results suggest a significant and independent impact of the gestational age at laser surgery on perinatal survival, PPROM and neonatal morbidity.
The social contract of work: Moving beyond the psychological contract
Authors: Korczynski Marek 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis paper develops the critique of psychologisation by going narrow and deep into the analysis of the concept of the psychological contract. In its early incarnation, the psychological contract literature explored key elements at the heart of the employment relationship. However, in the current mainstream psychological contract literature, there are four key problems. The paper shows that these problems match on to the wider problems associated with pyschologisation. The concept of the social contract of work is put forward as a way to return productively to the original focus of the field. The social contract of work is defined as workers' implicit, collective, and socially embedded understanding of the effort bargain at work.

AbstractDocetaxel is a cytotoxic taxane frequently used to treat patients with various cancers, including non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Docetaxel is known to cause acute myalgias, arthralgias, and neuropathy, but there have been few published case reports of myositis. Here, we describe a rare case of docetaxel‐induced myositis diagnosed based on laboratory data, thigh magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electromyography (EEG). A 66‐year‐old male was admitted for thigh pain and fatigue that onset 1 week prior. He had been diagnosed with stage IVA (cT4N0M1a) NSCLC 3 years ago and had been started on docetaxel (60 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks; fourth‐line chemotherapy) 1 month earlier. After the second cycle, he developed both thigh pain and fatigue. On admission, his creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) level was elevated, thigh MRI revealed diffuse muscle edema, and EEG showed myogenic changes. We found no plausible cause for myositis except docetaxel. He was diagnosed with myositis and treated with oral prednisolone. His symptoms were relieved and the CPK level declined. Although rare, this case indicates that clinicians should consider the possibility of myositis as a complication in patients on docetaxel.
Spatially explicit management of genetic diversity using ancestry probability surfaces
Authors: Massatti Rob , Winkler Daniel E. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract

Ecological restoration and conservation efforts are increasing worldwide and the management of intraspecific genetic variation in plants and animals, an important component of biodiversity, is increasingly valued. As a result, tailorable, spatially explicit approaches to map genetic variation are needed to support decision‐making and management frameworks related to the recovery of threatened and endangered species and the maintenance of genetic resources in species utilized by humans, such as for restoration or agricultural purposes.

Here, we describe and demonstrate a workflow to spatially interpolate patterns of genetic differentiation using novel functions in the r package popmaps (Population Management using Ancestry Probability Surfaces). Our approach uses empirical genetic data to estimate ancestry coefficients across a user‐defined landscape correlated with patterns of differentiation in the focal species. The resulting surface, which we term the ancestry probability surface, includes two components: hard population boundaries and estimations of uncertainty that represent confidence in population assignments (i.e. ancestry probabilities).

An ancestry probability surface developed for Hilaria jamesii, an important graminoid utilized in restoration across the western United States, demonstrates the functionality of popmaps. Genetic distances among empirical sites correlated better with least‐cost distances across suitable habitat than with geographical distances, informing the surface over which the interpolation was conducted (i.e. a model indicating habitat suitability). A jackknifing procedure identified parameter values resulting in robust population assignments across the species' range, which were utilized in downstream analyses to estimate ancestry coefficients from empirical data. Ancestry coefficients were translated into ancestry probabilities, which tended to be low for cells that were intermediate in distance between empirical sampling locations representing different populations or when influenced by empirical sampling locations with mixed genetic ancestry.

popmaps allows users to tailor parameter values and analytical approaches and thereby incorporate species‐specific biological characteristics and desired levels of uncertainty into maps illustrating patterns of genetic differentiation. Ancestry probability surfaces may be used to guide management or investigate further ecological or evolutionary hypotheses. We discuss how maps produced by popmaps can inform multiple management challenges including species recovery planning and the utilization of commonly used species in restoration.

AbstractA study about the spatial distribution and density of common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) was conducted in two focal areas in Dabena Valley Forest, Western Ethiopia, from May 2016 to June 2018. These were Gassi Controlled Area (GCHA) in the southwestern part and Haro Aba Diko Controlled Hunting Area (HADCHA) in the northeastern part of the Valley. Population abundance and densities were analysed using distance sampling method. A total of 246 and 652 warthogs were counted in GCHA and HADCHA, respectively. The two study areas were significantly different during the wet season and during the dry season in the number of common warthog population per transect. During the dry season, HADCHA possessed more mean of cluster density (5.18/km2) than the GCHA (2.37/km2). Common warthog encounter rate ranged from 1.1 to 3.73/km during the wet season in both study areas. The two study areas did not show significant variation (χ2 = 0.188,df = 1,p = 0.05) in the clusters of common warthog sightings. A high number of common warthog population are threatened by increasing anthropogenic activities. Common warthog's natural habitats and their buffer zones should be properly monitored: Cattle grazing and human encroachment should be prohibited.
Raitera, Ally, Accomplice: Giving Rides as Engaged Ethnography
Authors: Guzmán Jennifer R. 
Published: May 2022

SUMMARYImmigrant rights activism in rural Western New York involves collaboration between im/migrant farmworkers and their non‐immigrant supporters, aliados (allies). Ally ride‐giving in particular plays a crucial role in mobilization. Because allyship is a cornerstone of contemporary US social movements and a role to which ethnographers are likely to be assigned when working in activist settings, I approach the constructs of allyship and rides as objects of critical inquiry and in relation to conversations about complicity in ethnographic practice. Using experiences from my fieldwork as an aliada (ally) and volunteer raitera (driver), I unpack how rides become more than a mechanical means to a transportation end. When racialization and illegality constrain people’s use of roads and cars, I posit that rides can constitute a collaborative means of resistance and an intervention in the politics of mobility. For engaged scholars, this political aspect of rides should not be divorced from considerations of rides as an intimate space‐time shared between drivers and passengers and that exceeds their instrumentalization as a political tool. This theorization of rides as simultaneously political and intimate is generative in imagining modes of praxis for ethnographers acting as accomplices in shared struggles for justice.

AbstractLiposarcoma is a type of soft tissue sarcoma. Primary colonic liposarcomas are extremely rare. An 86‐year‐old man with diarrhea and anorexia visited our outpatient clinic at Okayama City Hospital. Colonoscopy and computed tomography imaging revealed a large submucosal tumor in the descending colon with a maximum diameter of approximately 10 cm. He underwent totally laparoscopic left hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis. The histopathological diagnosis was a well‐differentiated liposarcoma without lymph node metastases. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. We herein report a rare case of totally laparoscopic colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis in an elderly patient with colonic liposarcoma.
Advancing scholarship on anti‐racism within developmental science: Reflections on the special section and recommendations for future research
Authors: Cooper Shauna M. , Hurd Noelle M. , Loyd Aerika Brittian 
Published: May 2022

AbstractTo date, theoretical and conceptual scholarship on anti‐racism has been advanced through leading contributions from several disciplines (e.g., sociology, education, psychology). Still, there remain fewer empirical studies on anti‐racism constructs, and we know little about the development of anti‐racism among diverse youth across key stages of development. In this special section ofChild Development, we sought to address this gap by highlighting scholarship in developmental science that attends to the development of anti‐racism in children across contexts (e.g., families, schools) and developmental stages (e.g., early childhood through emerging adulthood). In our introduction to the special section, we review the collective contributions of included studies and outline recommendations for future research in the development of anti‐racism in youth.

AbstractObjectivesThis study evaluated which predisposing and enabling factors prospectively predicted dental utilization over 6 months among people with serious mental illness.MethodsA sample of individuals with serious mental illness (86.3% African American; 97.4% with public health insurance) was recruited from community mental health centres in Detroit, Michigan, and responded to questionnaires at baseline and at least one follow‐up visit at 3 or 6 months (N = 190). Baseline assessments included demographic and clinical information, established measures of health literacy, health insurance literacy, stigma related to mental illness, experiences of racial discrimination and medical mistrust. Insurance coverage for dental care and the availability of dental services at the participants' mental health centres was recorded. At follow‐up visits, participants reported healthcare utilization, including dental and primary care, since baseline.ResultsThree factors emerged as meaningful predictors of having a dental visit in bivariate and multivariate analyses: more medical comorbidities and dental care co‐located with mental health care predicted increased likelihood of a dental visit, whereas having experienced racial discrimination in a medical setting predicted lower odds of having a dental visit in the follow‐up period. Co‐location of dental care with mental health care was the strongest predictor of having a dental visit.ConclusionsCo‐locating dental care with mental health care may increase dental utilization among people with serious mental illness, possibly by mitigating known barriers to dental care for this population. Among African Americans, the co‐location of dental care with mental health care may also attenuate the negative effect of prior racial discrimination in a medical setting on dental utilization.
Novel methods for circumferential cryoanaesthesia: using doughnut pan or gauze
Authors: AlJasser Mohammed I. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Ice is effective for local anaesthesia but does not allow injecting without removing the ice device. This was partially solved by some recently described methods for circumferential cryoanaesthesia (CCA). CCA provides continuous anaesthesia along the peripheral part of the injection site while keeping the central part open for intervention. We describe additional novel methods for CCA using doughnut pan or gauze.

AbstractObjectivesDelayed pneumothorax can cause an emergency room visit and be life‐threatening in case of tension pneumothorax after transthoracic needle biopsy. We hypothesized that most delayed pneumothoraces are diagnosed by later enlargement of occult pneumothorax due to the low diagnostic accuracy of a chest X‐ray. Lung ultrasound is a highly accurate tool for detection of pneumothorax. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasound for prediction of delayed pneumothorax on chest X‐ray.MethodsThis prospective pilot study was performed between April 2020 and July 2020 in Chungnam National University Hospital. The participants underwent chest X‐rays and lung ultrasound before, immediately after, and 3 h after transthoracic needle biopsy, respectively. The presence or absence of lung sliding at each anterior BLUE‐point on an ultrasound and pneumothorax on a chest X‐ray was recorded.ResultsPneumothorax occurred in 17 (35.4%) participants, and three of them underwent chest tube replacement. Of the 17 (35.4%) cases of pneumothorax, five participants (10.4%) were diagnosed with delayed pneumothorax. Three out of five participants showed loss of lung sliding on lung ultrasound before the diagnosis of delayed pneumothorax. Therefore, the sensitivity of lung sliding on lung ultrasound for early detection of delayed pneumothorax was 60%. Two undetected cases were asymptomatic, and the pneumothoraces were exceedingly small and recovered spontaneously. Thus, sensitivity for detection of clinically meaningful delayed pneumothorax requiring chest tube replacement was 100% (2/2).ConclusionLung ultrasound can probably predict clinically meaningful delayed pneumothorax after transthoracic needle lung biopsy.

AbstractAimWe aimed to examine fetal cardiac output (CO) in patients who recovered from severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection.MaterialsThis prospective study included 48 pregnant women recovered from SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and 50 control cases. SARS‐CoV‐2 infection was diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test in patients. Fetal echocardiographic evaluations were performed at 24–37 weeks of gestation in pregnant women who recovered from the infection and control group.ResultsThe median value of ultrasound evaluation was 34 (2.6) weeks of gestation in the recovery from the SARS‐CoV‐2 infection (RSI) group, and 32 (7.6) weeks in the control group (p = .565). Left cardiac output (LCO) z score was significantly lower in the RSI group than the control group (p = .041). LCO and combine cardiac output (CCO) z score were significantly lower in the severe disease group than mild, moderate disease groups, and controls (p = .019 and p = .013). CCO (ml/min/kg) was decreased in the severe disease group when compared with control and mild disease groups (p = .044).ConclusionIn the present study, fetal cardiac output in pregnant women who recovered from SARS‐CoV‐2 infection was found to be significantly reduced in those with severe disease, while there was no significant difference in mild and moderate cases. Placental dysfunction and inflammatory cytokines might cause fetal cardiac changes. Further studies could be clarified on the impact of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection on fetal cardiac function.
Specific sequence of arrival promotes coexistence via spatial niche pre‐emption by the weak competitor

Published: May 2022

AbstractHistorical contingency, such as the order of species arrival, can modify competitive outcomes via niche modification or pre‐emption. However, how these mechanisms ultimately modify stabilising niche and average fitness differences remains largely unknown. By experimentally assembling two congeneric spider mite species feeding on tomato plants during two generations, we show that order of arrival affects species’ competitive ability and changes the outcome of competition. Contrary to expectations, order of arrival did not cause positive frequency dependent priority effects. Instead, coexistence was predicted when the inferior competitor (Tetranychus urticae) arrived first. In that case, T. urticae colonised the preferred feeding stratum (leaves) of T. evansi leading to spatial niche pre‐emption, which equalised fitness and reduced niche differences, driving community assembly to a close‐to‐neutrality scenario. Our study demonstrates how the order of species arrival and the spatial context of competitive interactions may jointly determine whether species can coexist.
Larval feeding habits of the large‐bodied diving beetle Cybister rugosus (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) under laboratory conditions

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe population of the diving beetle Cybister rugosus (Macleay, 1825) has been declining in recent years, and it is designated as “Vulnerable” (VU) in the Red List of Japan. However, there have been no quantitative studies on the feeding habits of the larval stage of this beetle. Revealing the feeding habits is indispensable for understanding the life history of C. rugosus. In the current study, we reared C. rugosus larvae on different prey taxa (Odonata nymph, fish, tadpole, and shrimp) and evaluated their growth and survival rates. Previous studies have shown that three congeneric Cybister species larvae feed mainly on invertebrates. However, all larval instars of C. rugosus were able to feed on invertebrates and vertebrates and grow. Thus, we considered C. rugosus to be a generalist compared to the other Cybister species. The larval periods were shorter for C. rugosus that fed on Odonata nymphs than on any other prey. Feeding different prey taxa had no significant effect on the body length of newly emerged adult males. However, the body length of newly emerged adult females was larger when the larvae fed on Odonata nymphs than when the larvae fed on fish. As in other Cybister species, we concluded that the Odonata nymph is an appropriate food from the viewpoint of increased growth rate in C. rugosus.

AbstractWe investigate the interest rate risk exposures of euro area banks during times of crises and very low interest rates. First, we assess sensitivities of banks' stock prices to changes in the level, slope and curvature of the yield curve using the Bayesian DCC M‐GARCH model. Our findings reveal that stock price sensitivities change over time and that, on average, banks benefit from increases in the level, slope and curvature of the yield curve. Second, we observe that banks with higher capital ratios, more customer lending and less deposit financing are particularly sensitive to interest rate movements.

AbstractBackgroundCustodial grandparents often protect against childhood trauma and promote resilience in their grandchildren. In this role, grandparents face many challenges and may lack confidence in their parenting abilities. Increasing grandparent self‐efficacy may help promote grandfamily resilience. Yet few interventions exist to help grandparents adapt to challenges faced as primary parenting figures for grandchildren.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine the preliminary efficacy of a strengths‐based intervention for grandparents raising grandchildren and explore whether it would improve grandparent self‐efficacy.MethodGrandparents providing primary care to grandchildren participated in a 6‐week intervention, single‐group, pretest–posttest design. Self‐efficacy was assessed at baseline (N = 149), post‐intervention (n = 104), and 6 months (n = 55). A linear mixed effects analysis was conducted to test the effect of the intervention on grandparent self‐efficacy.ResultsThe intervention was associated with small improvements in grandparents' self‐efficacy, after controlling for demographic variables and perceived social support. These improvements were sustained over time.ConclusionOur intervention addresses the complex needs of grandparents raising grandchildren and has a positive effect on their self‐efficacy. This study provides support for the feasibility of strengths‐based intervention programs for grandfamilies.ImplicationsPrograms that foster effective strategies to enhance self‐efficacy are important for the well‐being of grandfamilies.
