Authors: Suff Natalie , Xu Vicky X. , Dalla Valle Giorgia , Carter Jenny , Brennecke Shaun , Shennan Andrew 
Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundWomen with a prior pregnancy at term are generally considered to be at reduced risk for subsequent spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB), whereas a previous sPTB is a major predictor for a future sPTB.AimsThe objective of this study was to investigate the risk of recurrent sPTB in women with a prior term birth and a subsequent sPTB.Materials and MethodsThis is a retrospective cohort study conducted at St Thomas’ Hospital in London, UK. There were 430 women included: 230 with a term birth (caesarean section or vaginal delivery) preceding a sPTB (term + sPTB group) and 200 with a prior sPTB only (sPTB only group). The primary outcome was sPTB, <37 weeks gestation.ResultsOf the term + sPTB group, 38.7% (89/230) had a recurrent sPTB compared to 20% (40/200) in the sPTB only group (P < 0.0001), with a relative risk (RR) of 1.9. Of women who had a term caesarean section and a subsequent PTB, 50% (30/60) had a further sPTB (RR 2.5 compared to the sPTB only group), while 34.7% (59/170) of women who had a term vaginal birth and subsequent sPTB, had a further sPTB (RR 1.7 compared to the sPTB only group).ConclusionIn women who have had a previous sPTB, the risk of a recurrence is much higher than in women with a prior term birth. The aetiology of PTB may be different in this subgroup of women and needs to be further elucidated to determine how best to identify and treat them.
His Bundle pacing for congenital complete AV block: An attempt to fix a broken heart?

Published: March 2022

AbstractCongenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) is usually due to failure of atrioventricular nodal conduction with preservation of the His‐Purkinje system. Most patients with CCAVB ultimately require pacemaker therapy to restore physiologic heart rates, dealing with the detrimental effects of chronic right ventricular (RV) pacing on cardiac structure and function. The ideal stimulation pattern aims to mimic the normal conduction to restore electromechanical coupling, preventing the harmful effects of lack of atrioventricular and inter‐intraventricular synchrony. This can be done through conduction system pacing. Using His bundle pacing (HBP) for cardiac resynchronization therapy in two complete congenital atrioventricular block patients, we have reported better exercise tolerance and echocardiographic improvements related to reversible left ventricular dysfunction that can be corrected by restoration of the normal activation pathway via the His‐Purkinje network.
Business and health: A research agenda post‐Covid‐19
Authors: Husted Bryan W. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractDespite some work dealing with occupational health and marketing unhealthy products, the business and society largely ignores the impacts of business on health. Focusing on employees and consumers, the literature does not take into account the impacts of business on the health of community members in general. Given work in such fields as public health, geography, and history, there is an ample basis upon which to construct a new line of research for business and society scholars—business and health. This essay develops ideas on how such a line of inquiry might proceed.
Bayesian Interaction Selection Model for Multimodal Neuroimaging Data Analysis
Authors: Zhao Yize , Wu Ben , Kang Jian 
Published: February 2022

AbstractMultimodality or multiconstruct data arise increasingly in functional neuroimaging studies to characterize brain activity under different cognitive states. Relying on those high-resolution imaging collections, it is of great interest to identify predictive imaging markers and intermodality interactions with respect to behavior outcomes. Currently, most of the existing variable selection models do not consider predictive effects from interactions, and the desired higher-order terms can only be included in the predictive mechanism following a two-step procedure, suffering from potential misspecification. In this paper, we propose a unified Bayesian prior model to simultaneously identify main effect features and intermodality interactions within the same inference platform in the presence of high-dimensional data. To accommodate the brain topological information and correlation between modalities, our prior is designed by compiling the intermediate selection status of sequential partitions in light of the data structure and brain anatomical architecture, so that we can improve posterior inference and enhance biological plausibility. Through extensive simulations, we show the superiority of our approach in main and interaction effects selection, and prediction under multimodality data. Applying the method to the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, we characterize the brain functional underpinnings with respect to general cognitive ability under different memory load conditions.

Published: February 2022

AbstractThe aim of this study is to examine how different factors (multiple stigmatization, perceived social status, and workers’ sex) as well as their interactions are associated with the dehumanization of workers. In the preliminary study (N = 991), we selected 16 occupations with different types of stigmatization and perceived status relevant to the Russian socio‐cultural context. In two experimental studies (N1 = 1060, N2 = 1081), we demonstrated that multiple stigmatization increases metaphor‐based and attribute‐based animalistic but not mechanistic dehumanization: low‐status workers were more animalistically dehumanized than high‐status workers; the high status decreased the metaphor‐based animalistic dehumanization of occupations with multiple stigmatization, and the attribute‐based animalistic and mechanistic dehumanization of workers regardless of their stigmatization; and male workers were more mechanistically dehumanized than female ones but there were no differences in animalistic dehumanization. The results obtained are discussed in the context of understanding the specificity of workers’ dehumanization and the possible consequences of this dehumanization.

Published: February 2022

AbstractHerein we present a case of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) with recurrent involvement of mitral valve. The patient developed mitral regurgitation secondary to HES. Surgical mitral valve replacement was performed successfully. The prosthetic valve dysfunction occurred 3 years later and echocardiography showed severe mitral valve stenosis. Extensive mural thrombi were discovered on both sides of the stenotic valve with eosinophilic infiltration. The patient underwent a repeated mechanical prosthesis replacement and recovered uneventfully.
Understanding HAIs: Ally proteins in the fight against cancer
Authors: Nonboe Annika W. , Bald Zuzanna H. , Vogel Lotte K. 
Published: February 2022

Understanding how HAI‐1 and HAI‐2 regulate the epithelial serine protease matriptase may hold the key to curing epithelial‐derived cancer. HAIs are serine protease inhibitors that inhibit matriptase and have a poorly understood effect on the presence of matriptase protein in cells. In this issue of The FEBS Journal, Yamashita et al. provide much‐needed new insights into this effect, describing it as a ‘chaperone‐like function’ of HAI‐1. However, several observations suggest that matriptase folds correctly without HAIs and that HAIs are not chaperones. We introduce the concept of ‘ally proteins’ to categorize the poorly understood function of HAIs, distinguishing them from chaperones.Comment on: https://doi.org/10.1111/febs.16348

Published: February 2022

AbstractInformation about regional‐level carbon (C) stocks in agroforestry systems (AFS), as well as the annual loss of agroforests and associated C stocks, is scarce, limiting our capacity for increasing C sequestration through establishing, retaining, and enhancing these systems. This study quantified regional‐level C stocks and the associated incremental economic value in the forest land‐use component of three common AFS (hedgerows, shelterbelts, and silvopastures), estimated the annual loss of hedgerow and silvopasture forests and the associated C, and assessed the potential to enhance C storage through the expansion of shelterbelts in central Alberta, Canada, using publicly available satellite imagery, previously collected field data and the Google Earth Engine platform. Results showed that forests in the three AFS stored 699.9 million tons (Mt) C across 9.5 million hectares (Mha) of land in central Alberta and were valued at $102.7 billion based on the 2021 Canadian C tax rate of $40 t−1 CO2‐equivalent. Silvopasture forests in the studied region had the highest C stocks, which were 14.2 and 67.2 times that found in hedgerow and shelterbelt forests, respectively. Between 2001 and 2020, forests in hedgerows and silvopastures declined at rates of 468.1 and 1957.1 ha year−1, respectively, leading to an 8.4 Mt decline in total C storage over the 20 years. However, there is potential to establish new shelterbelts at many road/field margins, which could increase C stocks by 2.3 times the current C stocks in shelterbelt forests. These results highlight the importance of retaining existing and establishing new AFS for increasing C sequestration, emphasizing the impact of agroforest loss on reducing C storage within agroecosystems. The development of policies that assist or reward landowners for providing the ecosystem service of C storage by retaining, establishing, and enhancing agroforests as part of existing agroecosystem management should be encouraged for mitigating climate change.

Published: March 2022

AimHousing structures differ according to the local culture, climate, and lifestyle, and these unique characteristics usually act as potential hazards for falls, trips, and slips. The purpose of this study was to identify environmental hazards in a Japanese house and their association with falls, trips, and slips among older people.MethodsA total of 97 older people aged ≥75 years were included in this cross‐sectional study. The number of environmental hazards was measured using a 46‐item tool designed specifically for this study, and the associations of environmental hazards with falls, trips, and slips were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regressions.ResultsAll houses had at least one environmental hazard, and 3–30 environmental hazards were identified. Although the number of environmental hazards was not associated with falls experienced during the past 6 months, a greater number of environmental hazards at home was correlated with the daily experience of trips and slips (odds ratio [OR]: 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02–1.18). The association remained significant even after adjusting for demographic characteristics and other fall risk factors (OR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.02–1.21).ConclusionWe found that Japanese housing structures had unique environmental hazards that might cause trips and slips in older people. Appropriate housing assessments and modifications may help to promote aging‐in‐place among older people. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2022; 22: 305–310.
GO FIGURE: FREDRIC JAMESON ON WALTER BENJAMIN
Authors: Jay Martin 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACTFredric Jameson's new book, The Benjamin Files, gives him an opportunity to revisit a figure he initially discussed more than fifty years ago. At that time, he lamented what he saw as Walter Benjamin's melancholic resignation at the failure of his redemptive hopes; now, he wants to affirm the future‐oriented implications of Benjamin's work as coming from a “time‐traveler from some messianic future.” Focusing on theological strains in Benjamin's thinking, Jameson takes seriously Benjamin's Adamic view of a lost “language as such,” his nostalgia for a world of cosmic correspondences, and his adoption of the idea of apocatastasis—the redemption of all souls in the Final Judgment—and tries to integrate them with his historical materialist reading of history. That reading, Jameson avers, depends on a unified notion of history as a meaningful narrative, which, to be sure, is not equivalent to complacent notions of progress. But how one can reconcile Benjamin's advocacy of disrupting narratives of any kind and his spatialization of our relation to the past through synchronic “dialectical images” with a faith in a totalizing narrative of redemption is not clear. Jameson tacitly admits the difficulty when he falls back on Alain Badiou's notion of “fidelity to the event” and Erich Auerbach's ideas about figural iteration, which depend on a faith that past interruptions in conventional historical narratives, even failed attempts at revolution, foretell their completion in the future. As a result, it is hard not to be skeptical that the wind of world history is, despite all indications to the contrary, blowing us toward the restoration of cosmic harmonies, an Adamic “language as such,” and the universal salvation called apocatastasis.

AbstractObjectivesTo pinpoint factors associated with low‐level viraemia (LLV) and virological failure (VF) in people living with HIV in the era of high‐efficacy antiretroviral treatment (ART) and widespread use of integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTIs)‐based ART.MethodsWe included adults aged > 18 years starting their first ART between 2015 and 2018 in the Spanish HIV/AIDS Research Network National Cohort (CoRIS). Low‐level viraemia was defined as plasma viral load (pVL) of 50–199 copies/mL at weeks 48 and 72 and VF was defined as pVL ≥ 50 copies/mL at week 48 and pVL ≥ 200 copies/mL at week 72. Multivariable logistic regression models assessed the impact on LLV and VF of baseline CD4 T‐cell count, CD4/CD8 T‐cell ratio and pVL, initial ART classes, age at ART initiation, time between HIV diagnosis and ART initiation, gender and transmission route.ResultsOut of 4186 participants, 3120 (76.0%) started INSTIs, 455 (11.1%) started boosted protease inhibitors (bPIs) and 443 (10.8%) started nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), either of them with two nucleos(t)ide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Low‐level viraemia was met in 2.5% of participants and VF in 4.3%. There were no significant differences throughout the years for both virological outcomes. Baseline HIV‐1 RNA > 5 log10 copies/mL was the only consistent predictor of higher risk of LLV [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 9.8, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.0–48.3] and VF (aOR = 5.4, 95% CI: 1.9–15.1), even in participants treated with INSTIs.ConclusionsThe rates of LLV and VF were low but remained steady throughout the years. Baseline HIV‐1 RNA > 5 log10 copies/mL showed a persistent association with LLV and VF even in participants receiving INSTIs.

AbstractEffect of potato starch (2%–4%) and Asian sea bass bone bio‐calcium (BC) (0%–10%) on characteristics of Indian mackerel fish spread was investigated. Starch levels had higher impact than bio‐calcium concentration on characteristics of fish spread (P < 0.05). Firmness, consistency and cohesiveness of fish spread were raised with increasing starch and BC levels (P < 0.05). Highest lightness (L*) was found in fish spread added with 2% starch and 10% BC (P < 0.05). Highest a*, b*, C*‐values but lowest hue angle were obtained in fish spread added with 4% starch and 10% BC (P < 0.05). Higher G' and viscosity were observed in sample added with 4% starch when BC was incorporated at higher level. All fish spreads generally showed shear thinning flow behaviour. Higher acceptability was attained for fish spread containing 4% starch and 10% BC without grittiness. This fish spread showed higher ash with lower moisture, protein and lipid contents than those without BC. Calcium solubility of fish spread was augmented after in vitro gastrointestinal tract system when fortified with 10% BC, and higher solubility of calcium was also noticeable, compared to BC itself. Overall high PUFA, acceptable PV and TBARS value were attained for fish spread fortified with 4% starch and 10% BC.

ObjectiveThe treatment efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for urolithiasis depends on several factors. We aimed to evaluate the impact of intravenous hydration during shock wave lithotripsy on stone treatment success rate in patients with ureteral stones.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated patients with ureteral stones <2 cm in diameter treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy at two sites. Patients from one of the sites received intravenous hydration with 500 mL of 0.9% NaCl. Stone treatment success status was defined as stone‐free or residual ureteral stones <0.4 cm in diameter 1 month after the procedure. Predictive factors associated with treatment success were evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.ResultsOverall, 146 consecutive patients with ureteral stones were included. Eighty (54.8%) patients received intravenous hydration. The overall stone treatment success rate was 66.4%. Those with intravenous hydration during the shock wave lithotripsy had significantly smaller stone size, lower serum creatinine levels, lower rate of alpha‐blockers use, and higher rate of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug use. Upon multivariate analysis, stone treatment success status postprocedure was significantly associated with stone size (odds ratio 4.118, 95% confidence interval 1.920–8.832, P < 0.0001) and intravenous hydration during the procedure (odds ratio 2.475, 95% confidence interval 1.176–5.208, P = 0.017).ConclusionBesides small ureteral stone size, concomitant intravenous hydration with 500 mL of normal saline during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was significantly associated with subsequent stone passage. Administering 0.9% NaCl may be a simple and effective measure to improve the treatment efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
Multiethnic intergenerational perspectives on interethnic marriages in Peninsular Malaysia: The challenge of ethno‐religionist identity
Authors: Foong Andrew L.S. , Teoh Eliza J.Y. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractAgainst the background of a long history of acceptance of transmigration from various parts of the world and interethnic marriages being embraced, political agendas that prevailed following the independence of Malaysia culminated in a society with increasing ethnic polarisation impacting on social cohesion and reports of aversion to interethnic marriages. This study is aimed at exploring the perspectives of people who have lived through the different socio‐political changes impacting on the social fabric. Using an exploratory cross‐sectional qualitative design, 36 participants from the three main ethnic groups, across three generations (Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials) were interviewed to explore their views on interethnic marriages in Peninsular Malaysia. Iterative questioning was adopted to enhance reliability of data, which were processed by thematic analysis. Although each of the generational groups had different lived experiences, the findings indicate commonalities identified in terms of two main themes, i.e., challenges and facilitators. The predominant perception is the challenge of religion conversion required by non‐Muslims in relationships with Muslims. The issue of ethnicity did not arise as of concern amongst the different ethnic groups from this urban sample. Of significance is the heightened ethno‐religionist consciousness with implications on social cohesion for community relations and nation building.
Mechanisms of cooperation between airlines and online travel agencies for flight crowdfunding
Authors: Ling Liuyi , Bao Xuefeng , Zhang Zihao , Yang Feng 
Published: February 2022

AbstractWith the development of crowdfunding and e‐commerce, a novel selling strategy for airlines called flight crowdfunding has been recently applied to the airline industry. In this paper, we propose a micro‐foundation to analyze consumers' purchase behavior, the interaction between airlines and OTAs for launching crowdfunding flights and design contracts to coordinate the supply chain. We find that airlines tend to reduce the participation threshold below the break‐even point to attract more consumers, even if doing so will incur losses when the demand is insufficient. We also examine the conditions under which crowdfunding dominates the traditional selling and find that airlines will adopt crowdfunding as the selling strategy if the competition is sufficiently intense in the market or flights' fixed cost is sufficiently high. Moreover, all consumers always strictly benefit from the crowdfunding offer. Crowdfunding can create a win–win–win situation for airlines, the OTA and consumers if the number of airlines in the market is in an intermediate range. We also investigate the supply chain coordination contracts and demonstrate that cost‐sharing contracts can coordinate the supply chain and achieve its optimal performance, whereas some other contracts, such as wholesale‐price, revenue‐sharing, and profit‐sharing contracts cannot do that. This paper highlights the importance of crowdfunding in the cooperation between airlines and OTAs.
