Binge drinking: A review and research agenda
Authors: D'Alessandro Steven , Carter Leanne , Webster Cynthia 
Published: September 2022

AbstractBinge drinking is a wicked social problem associated with poor health and safety outcomes. However, most research on binge drinking occurs outside consumer research and marketing. This paper presents a systematic review of the contributions of key disciplines (Health, Marketing, Psychology, Economics, Management, Social Science, and Sociology) to the understanding of binge drinking. Using the theory, context, characteristics and methods (TCCM) framework, we find the need for more theoretical investigation in binge drinking research and more research conducted outside western countries. A wide set of independent factors has been included in binge drinking research, but few studies consider mediating and moderating variables. Methods used vary across disciplines and those used are mainly descriptive research, regression, and experiments. We conclude that whilst progress in this field is evident much needs to be done for greater generalizability and robustness of findings.

Published: September 2022

AbstractVertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) are promising supports for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts in fuel cells. Although experimentally these catalytic systems have shown great potential, there is lack of molecular understanding of the catalytic sites and reaction mechanisms. This work investigated the origin of the ORR reactivities of the platinum catalysts on multi‐edged VACNFs (Pt/VACNF) using a multiscale modeling approach combining Density Functional Theory (DFT) and classical Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Based on the ReaxFF potential, all nanoscale Pt particles (Pt55, P100, and Pt147) are stabilized by the open edges located axially along the VACNF walls. The calculated first‐shell coordination numbers,
, of surface Pt atoms are 6.63, 7.27, and 7.85, respectively, suggesting that the percentage of low coordination sites increases as the particle size decreases. The adsorption energies of OOH, O, and OH on Pt55 were systematically probed using DFT calculations. These adsorption energies retain a linear correlation against the generalized coordination numbers (
). For Pt nanoparticles supported on VACNF, we found that the OOH and OH bind stronger than on Pt (111) by 0.14 and 0.17 eV, respectively, which can hinder the ORR activity with lower limiting potential than Pt (111). Our theoretical prediction is in good agreement with the linear sweeping voltammetry that revealed a left shift of the half‐wave potential.

Published: September 2022

Comprehensive SummaryFor enhancing the electromagnetic wave (EW) attenuation and adsorption, rational constructing and homogeneously distributing bimetallic electromagnetic coupling units in hollow structure is an effective way, but hard to achieve. Herein, a CoNi‐doped hybrid zeolite imidazole framework was synthesized as precursor, which was further converted into a hollow CoNi‐bimetallic doped molybdenum carbide sphere (H‐CoNi@MoC/NC) through a two‐step etching and calcination strategy. At the loading amount of 15 wt%, a strong absorption of minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of –60.05 dB at 7.2 GHz with the thickness of 3.1 mm and a wide effective adsorption bandwidth (EAB) of 3.52 GHz at the thickness of 2.5 mm were achieved, which was far beyond the reported MoC‐based metallic hybrids. The crucial synergistic Co‐Ni electromagnetic coupling effect in the composite was characterized, not only enhancing the dipolar/interfacial polarization, but also promoting the impedance matching, displaying the optimized EW absorbing performance.

Published: September 2022

AbstractThree‐dimensional (3D) human organotypic skin cultures provide a physiologically relevant model that recapitulates in vivo skin features. Most commonly, organotypic skin cultures are created by seeding isolated epidermal keratinocytes onto a collagen/fibroblast plug and lifting to an air liquid interface. These conditions are sufficient to drive stratification and differentiation of the keratinocytes to form an epidermal‐like sheet with remarkable similarities to human epidermis. Coupled with genetic or pharmacological treatments, these cultures provide a powerful tool for elucidating keratinocyte biology. Recent focus has been placed on increasing the utility of organotypic skin cultures by incorporating other cell types that are present in the skin, such as melanocytes, immune cells, and other cells. Here we describe a step‐by‐step protocol for the isolation of neonatal human epidermal keratinocytes and melanocytes from foreskins, and the creation of organotypic skin cultures that include both cell types. We also describe methods that can be used to assess melanocyte behavior in these organotypic cultures, including methods for whole mount staining, measurement of melanocyte dendricity, staining for pigment, and 5‐bromo‐2′‐deoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling for identification of proliferating cells. © 2022 The Authors.

Linear Polarization to Circular Polarization convertor loaded orthogonally placed two‐port ring ceramic‐based MIMO antenna for WLAN applications
Authors: Ramalingam Anandan , Chinnamuthu Annadurai 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn this article, a dual‐port ring‐shaped ceramic antenna is proposed and examined. The antenna ports are orthogonally placed for achieving the high isolation (more than 20 dB). Ceramic material is fed through circular aperture, which excites the HEM11δ+2 mode inside it. Metasurface module is suspended over the proposed antenna for converting the LP‐to‐CP waves. Fabricated antenna confirms its operation from 5.43 to 5.82 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 6.93%. After applying the metasurface, 3‐dB axial ratio is achieved from 5.45 to 5.65 GHz. Stable radiation properties and good value of diversity parameter makes it suitable for WLAN (5.5 GHz) application.

Published: September 2022

AbstractPeripheral immunological tolerance is mainly maintained by regulatory T (Treg) cells, a specific CD4 T cells subset that expresses the transcription factor Foxp3. Treg cells are crucial to control autoimmunity and inflammation and to limit tissue destruction arising from inflammatory responses. Loss of functions mutations in FOXP3 in humans induces a fatal autoimmune lymphoproliferative disorder, known as Immune dysregulation, Polyendocrinopathy, Enteropathy, X‐linked (IPEX). Specific Treg cell differentiation and activation states have been linked to several human diseases. Indeed, Treg cells play a crucial role in different diseases including colitis, multiple sclerosis, autoimmunity, and infection. Characterization of Treg cell functions and understanding the role of different Treg cell subsets are crucial to the development of novel Treg cell‐specific therapeutics for inflammatory diseases. In this phenotype report, we will describe laboratory methods to effectively study and characterize human Treg cells.

Published: September 2022

AbstractAlthough dietary factors are relevant modifiable risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the exact association between dietary patterns and GDM remains controversial. Therefore, a systematic review and dose–response meta‐analysis of observational studies were conducted to summarize the association between dietary patterns and risk of GDM. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMbase databases were systematically searched for publications up to March 10, 2020. All observational studies which assessed the risk of GDM according to the categories of healthy or unhealthy dietary patterns derived by either a priori or a posteriori methods were eligible to be included. Pooled effect sizes for the highest vs. lowest categories of healthy/unhealthy dietary patterns were calculated using the random‐effects model. Linear and nonlinear dose–response analyses were performed to determine dose–response associations. Thirty‐one studies were included, of which 26 studies (80,849 participants) assessed healthy dietary pattern and 15 studies (32,965 participants) assessed the unhealthy dietary pattern. Individuals with a higher adherence to the healthy dietary pattern were less likely to be affected by GDM (RR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.76–0.96; I2 = 56.2%). There was a marginally significant association between unhealthy dietary patterns and GDM risk (RR = 1.28; 95% CI: 0.99–1.67; I2 = 74.7). Significant linear associations were observed between healthy (p = .011) and unhealthy (p = .009) dietary patterns and GDM risk. Pregnant women with a healthier dietary pattern (a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) had lower risk for GDM. In contrast, higher adherence to an unhealthy dietary pattern was associated with increased risk of GDM. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the results.

Published: September 2022

AbstractTartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is rich in polysaccharides that can be utilized by the gut microbiota (GM) and provide several health benefits. However, the mechanisms underlying the action of these polysaccharides remain unclear to date. In this study, Tartary buckwheat polysaccharides (TBP) were purified, and five fractions were obtained. The composition of these fractions was determined using ion chromatography. Different TBP components were investigated regarding their probiotic effect on three species of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus rhamnosus. In addition, the effect of TBP on GM and short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) was evaluated. Results showed that the probiotic effect of TBP fraction was dependent on their composition. The polysaccharides present in different fractions had specific probiotic effects. TBP‐1.0, mainly composed of fucose, glucose, and d‐galactose, exhibited the strongest proliferation effect on L. rhamnosus, while TBP‐W, rich in glucose, d‐galactose, and fructose, had the best promoting effect on Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium adolescentis growth. Furthermore, TBP‐0.2, composed of d‐galacturonic acid, d‐galactose, xylose, and arabinose, exhibited its highest impact on Bifidobacterium breve growth. The composition of GM was significantly altered by adding TBP during fecal fermentation, with an increased relative abundance of Lactococcus, Phascolarctobacterium, Bacteroidetes, and Shigella. Simultaneously, the level of SCFA was also significantly increased by TBP. Our findings indicate that Tartary buckwheat can provide specific dietary polysaccharide sources to modulate and maintain GM diversity. They provide a basis for Tartary buckwheat commercial utilization for GM modulation.
Strengthening the ICUs' human resource‐related responses to Covid‐19: A rapid review of the experience during the first year of public health emergency
Authors: Tursunbayeva Aizhan , Di Lauro Stefano 
Published: September 2022

AbstractBy drawing on macro‐categories of key human resource (HR) management interventions recommended by the Organization for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) during the Covid‐19 pandemic, this study aimed to explore whether and how Intensive Care Units (ICU) have strengthened their HRs during the first year of Covid‐19 emergency. A rapid review was conducted to provide a quick synthesis of the literature in English identified in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS), PubMed, and Scopus databases. A total of 68 articles qualified for the final analysis. The findings illustrated that health organisations were often guided by staffing ratios to estimate capacity to care, aimed to modify the scope of practice of providers, redeployed both internal and external staff to ICUs, created and adapted the Covid‐19‐specific staffing models, and implemented technological innovations to provide services to the unprecedented number of patients while protecting the physical and mental health of their staff. The insights of this research should be helpful for health leaders, HR Managers, and policymakers who have faced unprecedented challenges and tough decisions during this emergency. The findings could also inform beyond‐Covid‐19 ICU policies and guide future research.
How different are Monetary Unions to national economies according to prices?
Authors: Glushenkova Marina , Zachariadis Marios 
Published: September 2022

AbstractNot that different. Based on a unique dataset of semi‐annual microeconomic price levels of goods and services across and within countries for 1990:1–2018:2, we show that time‐series volatility and cross‐sectional dispersion of law‐of‐one‐price deviations are similar for pairs of cities within the same country and across the Eurozone eleven original members. Our empirical analysis reveals that inflation and nominal exchange rate volatility/dispersion across locations have a positive impact on the volatility/dispersion across locations of law‐of‐one‐price deviations across the globe. Furthermore, dispersion of law‐of‐one‐price deviations across goods falls when the relative inflation rate between these locations rises, suggesting that the degree of price adjustment in individual product markets within a country has an international component shaped by international trade and arbitrage considerations. According to this measure of price integration, economies within the monetary union are half‐way to the level of integration characterizing national economies. Moreover, monetary union membership is associated with lower volatility of law‐of‐one‐price deviations, placing member countries more than half‐way towards the volatility levels characterizing national economies.
The mental health of women and climate change: Direct neuropsychiatric impacts and associated psychological concerns
Authors: Rothschild Julia , Haase Elizabeth 
Published: September 2022

AbstractClimate change brings exposures to heat, air pollution, poorer quality food, and infectious disease that have significant direct effects on women and their mental health. These environmental impacts are multifaceted in their consequences and raise risks of depression, suicide, violent victimization, post‐traumatic stress disorder, and various other neuropsychiatric symptoms. Women also suffer increased climate psychological risks from higher rates of stillbirth, preterm birth, and developmental problems in their children. Here we review what is known about the overlap of women's individual mental health and climate change, and highlight areas where more research is needed.
Horner Syndrome subsequent to ultrasound‐guided cervical lymph node fine‐needle aspiration – A case report and literature review
Authors: Lin Yu Yang , Zhu Ying , Wang Yi Xuan , Wang Bei 
Published: September 2022

AbstractHorner Syndrome (HS) is characterized by symptoms of ipsilateral miosis, ptosis, enophthalmos, and facial anhidrosis, which is caused by the damaged oculosympathetic pathway. HS is rarely reported as postoperative complications of fine‐needle aspiration (FNA). We report a case of HS triggered by Ultrasound‐guided FNA during thyroid cancer management and conducted the literature review. A 31‐year‐old male with differentiated thyroid cancer underwent total thyroidectomy and regional lymph node dissection as well as radioactive iodine ablation, presented with persistently elevated tumor marker of thyroglobulin and suspicious left level IV and V cervical lymph nodes by neck ultrasound. Ultrasound‐guided left cervical lymph nodes FNA for cellular diagnosis was performed, and typical manifestations of HS appeared immediately after the procedure. Subsequent ultrasound evaluation of the same area demonstrated a subtle strip of the hypo‐echogenic area in the superior pole of the suspected level IV structure, suggesting sympathetic ganglia with the visible originating nerve fiber on the superior pole. All of the patient's symptoms of HS were resolved 2 months after the incidence. Cervical sympathetic ganglia can be similar in size, shape, and ultrasound characteristics to a malignant lymph node. Thorough ultrasound examination by directly comparing the potential ganglia with a typical malignant lymph node, and paying attention to any potential root fibers on the target is key to avoiding ganglia injury before the neck invasive procedures.

AbstractBackgroundOnly twelve percent of dentists in 2020 self‐identified as being Black, Latinx, or “Other,” which includes American Indian. Moreover, the proportion of dentists from these groups profoundly fails to reflect the demographic composition of the U.S. overall. Evidence‐based, ethically‐grounded approaches are needed to successfully and continuously recruit and retain Black, Latinx, and American Indian dental students. We explored the barriers and opportunities to sustainable pathways to the dental profession.MethodsWe conducted focus groups in 2021 with current Black, Latinx, and American Indian dental students and key informant interviews with dental school administrators using elicitation guides developed for this project. We completed a thematic analysis of data to identify and check findings to strengthen validity.ResultsWe identified the following successes, challenges, and opportunities for recruiting Black, Latinx, and American Indian dental students. Successes include institutional investment to build and sustain pathways, yet many of these practices are institution‐ or administrator‐specific and may defy replication. Challenges are more widespread, and include weak accreditation standards; systemic bias and failure to consider candidates holistically in admissions decisions; costs associated with admissions test preparation and volunteer shadowing; transportation, geography, school culture and language/citizenship status. Opportunities include mentoring, scholarships, removing bias from admissions, institutional financial investment in pathway programs, and peer norming among programs.ConclusionBuilding sustainable pathways involve early support of students, removing systemic biases, and institutional commitments to equity to create a workforce to meet population needs.

Published: September 2022

AbstractHemorheology and microcirculation alterations are caused by erythrocyte size and shape (ESS) modifications. People´s diets can alter erythrocyte functions and membrane fluidity by changing cell membrane components. The aim was to identify differences in ESS obtained by scanning electron (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) in people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and assess their relationship with dietary patterns. The study population included 31 participants (14 healthy, 11 with prediabetes, and 6 with T2DM). Dietary intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire, and dietary patterns were obtained using principal component analysis. ESS (diameter, height, axial ratio, thickness, and concave depth) were obtained by SEM and AFM. Differences in ESS between groups were observed with SEM (height) and AFM (height, axial ratio, and concave depth). T2DM presented smaller erythrocytes, more elongated and more altered forms. Two dietary patterns were identified: (1) Unhealthy: more refined cereals, high‐fat dairy, fast food, sugary beverages, and fewer fruits, fish, seafood, low‐fat dairy, and water. (2) Prudent: higher consumption of refined cereals, vegetables, poultry, low‐fat dairy and nuts, and lower tortillas, eggs, high‐fat dairy, and legumes. Tertile 3 of the Unhealthy dietary pattern had 80% of healthy participants. A difference in diameter and height (0.44 and 0.32 μm, respectively) obtained by SEM was observed when comparing tertile 2 (smaller erythrocytes) versus tertile 3 in the Unhealthy dietary pattern. SEM and AFM are excellent tools to assess ESS. Unhealthy dietary patterns might be associated with altered ESS.Highlights
SEM and AFM are excellent tools to assess erythrocyte size and shape modifications.
Two dietary patterns were identified: healthy and prudent.
Smaller erythrocytes were observed in the second tertile of the unhealthy pattern.
