BackgroundOver the last 10 years, research has highlighted emerging potential risk factors for poor outcomes following blunt chest wall trauma. The aim was to update a previous systematic review and meta-analysis of the risk factors for mortality in blunt chest wall trauma patients.MethodsA systematic review of English and non-English articles using MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library from January 2010 to March 2022 was completed. Broad search terms and inclusion criteria were used. All observational studies were included if they investigated estimates of association between a risk factor and mortality for blunt chest wall trauma patients. Where sufficient data were available, ORs with 95% CIs were calculated using a Mantel-Haenszel method. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2statistic.Results73 studies were identified which were of variable quality (including 29 from original review). Identified risk factors for mortality following blunt chest wall trauma were: age 65 years or more (OR: 2.11; 95% CI 1.85 to 2.41), three or more rib fractures (OR: 1.96; 95% CI 1.69 to 2.26) and presence of pre-existing disease (OR: 2.86; 95% CI 1.34 to 6.09). Other new risk factors identified were: increasing Injury Severity Score, need for mechanical ventilation, extremes of body mass index and smoking status. Meta-analysis was not possible for these variables due to insufficient studies and high levels of heterogeneity.ConclusionsThe results of this updated review suggest that despite a change in demographics of trauma patients and subsequent emerging evidence over the last 10 years, the main risk factors for mortality in patients sustaining blunt chest wall trauma remained largely unchanged. A number of new risk factors however have been reported that need consideration when updating current risk prediction models used in the ED.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021242063.

ObjectiveEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) has gained global adoption but our understanding of its mechanism(s) of action and durability of efficacy is limited. We sought to determine changes in gastric emptying (GE), gastric motility (GM), hormones and eating behaviours after ESG.DesignA priori-designed single-centre substudy of a large US randomised clinical trial, adults with obesity were randomised to ESG or lifestyle interventions (LS) alone. We measured GE, hormones and weight loss and assessed eating behaviours. In a subset of ESG patients, we assessed GM. The primary outcome was the change in T1/2(min) at 3 months, and secondary outcomes were changes in weight, GE, GM, hormones and eating behaviours. We used t-test analyses and regression to determine the association between GE and weight loss.Results36 (ESG=18; LS=18) participated in this substudy. Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups. At 3 months, T1/2was delayed in the ESG group (n=17) compared with the LS group (n=17) (152.3±47.3 vs 89.1±27.9; p<0.001). At 12 months, T1/2remained delayed in the ESG group (n=16) vs control group (n=14) (137±37.4 vs 90.1±23.4; p<0.001). Greater delays in GE at 3 months were associated with greater weight loss. GM was preserved and fasting ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide 1 and polypeptide YY significantly increased 18 months after ESG.ConclusionESG promotes weight loss through several key mechanistic pathways involving GE and hormones while preserving GM. These findings further support clinical adoption of this technique for the management of obesity.Trial registration numberNCT03406975.
Muon and electron $$g-2$$ anomalies in a flavor conserving 2HDM with an oblique view on the CDF $$M_W$$ value

Published: October 2022

AbstractWe consider a type I or type X two Higgs doublets model with a modified lepton sector. The generalized lepton sector is also flavor conserving but with the new Yukawa couplings completely decoupled from lepton mass proportionality. The model is one loop stable under renormalization group evolution and it allows to reproduce the $$g-2$$

anomaly, related to the Cesium and/or to the Rubidium recoil measurements of the fine structure constant. Thorough parameter space analyses are performed to constrain all the model parameters in the different scenarios, either including or not including the recent CDF measurement of the W boson mass. For light new scalars with masses in the 0.2–1.0 TeV range, the muon anomaly receives dominant one loop contributions; it is for heavy new scalars with masses above 1.2 TeV that two loop Barr–Zee diagrams are needed. The electron $$g-2$$

anomaly, if any, must always be obtained with the two loop contributions. The final allowed regions are quite sensitive to the assumptions about perturbativity of Yukawa couplings, which influence unexpected observables like the allowed scalar mass ranges. On that respect, intermediate scalar masses, highly constrained by direct LHC searches, are allowed provided that the new lepton Yukawa couplings are fully scrutinized, including values up to 250 GeV. In the framework of a complete model, fully numerically analysed, we show the implications of the recent $$M_{W}$$

Physical assessment of solidification in appearance of nanoparticles within new shaped tank
Authors: Almohsen Bandar 
Published: October 2022

To discover the efficacy of loading CuO nanoparticle on freezing within a container with a narrow fin, a numerical procedure was implemented in this paper. The pure phase change material (PCM) is H2O and various sizes of nanopowders have been mixed with this material. The ignoring of velocity terms in equations leads to a mathematical model involving nanoparticle enhanced PCM (NEPCM) properties and an associated source term. Testing the procedure with the prediction of the previously published data shows good implementation of the numerical method. The used grid in this study is viable to become finer in special regions and this option can increase the accuracy of the model. The maximum impacts of dp and [Formula: see text] on freezing time are 20% and 41.28%, respectively, and both factors make the process faster. The freezing period changes from 500.12 s to 293.58 s involving the nanomaterial with a fraction of 0.04 and radius of 20 nm.

Come, Play with Me: Sītā, Agency and Presentist Concerns
Authors: Kirloskar-Steinbach Monika 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Using some renditions of Sītā stories from the epic Rāmāyaṇa, this article will endeavor to make a case for reflecting on presentist concerns and interests and being aware of their impact on scholarship. Arguably, narrow syntactical and semantic analyses of translations and of purported convergences in historical and linguistic analyses do not suffice to give a handle on understanding how these concerns and interests might influence selection of pertinent sources and their readings. A more sustained analysis of their impact is needed. Shun Kwong-loi’s methodological work provides a good ground to take that conversation forward.
Gene expression of secretory proteins in the nuptial pads of three Lithobates species (Anura: Ranidae)

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Many amphibian species possess male-specific secretory breeding glands. In anurans, such specialized glands are often present as nuptial pads at the first digit of the hand, which are pressed against the female during amplexus. However, the role of nuptial pad secretions remains largely unknown. Here, we investigate the inner morphology as well as the RNA expression patterns of the nuptial pads of several Central American Lithobates species (Ranidae). As shown for the breeding glands of other amphibian species, the Lithobates nuptial pads are composed of large specialized mucus glands, excreting proteinaceous content to the surface. Whole-transcriptome sequencing revealed that for one of the species the most highly expressed transcripts encoding secretory proteins in the nuptial pads are sodefrin precursor-like factor (SPF) proteins, known to have a pheromone function in multiple amphibian species. The other two species, however, lack high expression of SPF transcripts but express other secretory proteins, whose roles in amphibian breeding glands remain unknown. Several of these proteins are highly expressed in all samples, suggesting a direct role during courtship or for the maintenance/development of the glands.
The “Endless Perspective” to University – Industry – Government Relations
Authors: Simões Pedro Costa , Moreira António Carrizo , Dias Carlos Mendes 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Since the emergence of the Triple Helix, expansions to Quadruple, Quintuple, N-tuple helices, and models decomposing higher-order helices into multiple interrelated triple helices, or two-layer triple helices have been proposed. Albeit presenting alternative conceptual frameworks these different Helix models seem unsuited to address internal boundaries to the institutional spheres of the university, industry, and government. Addressing this circumstance, the present article pursues the research purpose of conceptualizing a perspective that opens the possibility of analysis to occur between but also within the boundaries of the institutional spheres. To that effect it advocates the application of different reference frames (scopes) to capture the dynamics that empirically emerge from the system under research. The novelty of this study is that it expands the existing theory by proposing that adding “scopes” (instead of introducing new helices) can increase the analytical potential of the Triple Helix.

Abstract
The Kuroshio intrusion into the South China Sea (SCS) in summer is weak and has rarely been reported by in situ observations. Here, we describe a new form of Kuroshio water intrusion that is strongest during the summer, the North Luzon Warm Eddy (NLWE), which is an anticyclonic eddy originating north of Luzon Island. From early July to mid-September 2018, two NLWEs moving northwestward were captured by a mooring array consisting of 27 current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders (CPIESs). The three-dimensional CPIES estimates reveal that the NLWEs carried large amounts of saline Kuroshio waters (S > 34.7 psu) in the subsurface, which was also evidenced by Argo float profiles. The Kuroshio intrusion was confined to waters shallower than the 14.8°C isotherm. Historical data for NLWEs suggest that they occur mostly during the summer but are absent between November and March, which is attributed to seasonal wind stress curl (WSC). However, because the seasonal signal of WSC during summer is small, intraseasonal WSC is directly responsible for the generation of NLWEs.

Significance Statement
This paper describes a new type of Kuroshio water intrusion into the South China Sea (SCS)—the North Luzon Warm Eddy (NLWE), which is an anticyclonic eddy generated north of Luzon Island. The eddy mostly occurs during summer when the Kuroshio intrusion is commonly considered the weakest. From observations of a large CPIES array, we provide a cradle-to-grave picture of the NLWE. NLWEs are estimated to contribute almost half of the westward Luzon Strait transport during the summer and, as such, play an important role in the seasonal stratification and circulation in the northeastern SCS.
Development of lightweight micro-porous materials for acoustic applications
Authors: Kenchappa Bharath , Shivakumar Kunigal 
Published: October 2022

A novel processing technique is developed and demonstrated for fabrication of micro-porous materials using different size hollow microbubbles for acoustic applications. Physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of this material were measured and reported. The materials processed and fabricated were repeatable, consistent in quality, lightweight (bulk density less than 0.45 g/cc) and reasonably strong for the acoustic applications. 25 mm thick specimens were made of three different size group microbubbles: small (10–180 μm), medium (10–500 μm) and large size (150–850 μm), these are naturally available from coal burned electric power plants. These bubbles were selected because of near spherical shape, surface roughness, possibility of interconnectivity of particles and pore sizes. The specimens were tested in impedance tube and sound absorption and transmission were measured as a function of frequency (250–1600 Hz). The absorption coefficient increased with the increase in microbubble size which gave rise to a material with a simultaneously greater pore size and a greater porosity. Similarly, the transmission loss increased with the decrease in microbubble size, because of the decrease in the pore size, and porosity (low permeability). Therefore, an acoustic system could be designed and fabricated for any geometry by proper selection of hollow microbubble size and their distribution to achieve a targeted acoustic response.

Published: October 2022

Objective: Medicare beneficiaries in rural areas may face challenges in access to dental care. This study assessed rural–urban differences in the use of dental services and dental procedures by Medicare beneficiaries. Methods: We obtained data from the 2018 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey cost and use files. Outcome variables examined in this study were (1) dental visits (yes/no), whether the Medicare beneficiary had ≥1 dental visit in the past year, and (2) dental procedures—preventive (yes/no), restorative (yes/no), and surgical procedures (yes/no)—whether the beneficiary had the procedure in a dental visit. The independent variable was the beneficiary’s residence (rural vs urban). We used multiple logistic regression to analyze data and accounted for the survey design of the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey. The analytic sample included 7377 respondents aged ≥65 years. Results: Approximately 57.0% (95% CI, 54.9%-59.0%) and 46.4% (95% CI, 41.6%-51.2%) of Medicare beneficiaries in urban and rural communities in the United States had a dental visit in 2018, respectively. Rural beneficiaries were significantly less likely than their urban counterparts to have preventive procedures (adjusted odds ratio = 0.51; 95% CI, 0.36-0.72) but significantly more likely to have restorative procedures (adjusted odds ratio = 1.30; 95% CI, 1.05-1.62). Conclusion: We found significant disparities in use of dental services by Medicare beneficiaries in rural communities. When Medicare beneficiaries in rural areas used dental care, they were less likely than beneficiaries in urban areas to have preventive procedures but more likely to have restorative procedures, suggesting a greater burden of oral health needs among them. Policy research is needed to identify models that can incentivize prevention and improve access to dental care for Medicare beneficiaries in rural communities.
Positive affect as mediator: The socioemotional selectivity theory applied to the association between bonding social capital and wellbeing in later life
Authors: Simons Marianne , Reijnders Jennifer , Janssens Mayke , Lataster Johan , Jacobs Nele 
Published: October 2022

Bonding social capital was previously found as more strongly associated with wellbeing in later life than bridging social capital. The present study explored a theoretical explanation found in the socioemotional selectivity theory, by examining whether this association is mediated by the experience of positive affect. According to this theory older adults prefer intimate social relationships that contribute to the experience of positive emotions. A sample of older adults (50–93 years) filled out two online questionnaires, with an interval of 4 weeks, measuring bonding and bridging social capital and positive affect on T1 ( N = 319, Mage(SD) = 61.28(7.65)) and social, emotional and psychological wellbeing on T2 ( N = 202, Mage(SD) = 61.31(7.47)), as well as relevant covariates. Associations were found between bonding social capital and all sub-dimensions of wellbeing. Mediation analysis showed that these associations were (partly) mediated by the experience of positive affect. Bridging social capital was only associated with social wellbeing and no association with the experience of positive affect was found. These findings support the socioemotional selectivity theory and further illustrate the importance of bonding social capital in positive aging as a resource of opportunities to experience positive emotions, contributing to wellbeing in later life. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Rationale: Cannabidiol (CBD), the major non-psychoactive constituent of cannabis, has therapeutic potential for the treatment of anxiety. Most preclinical studies investigate only acute effects of CBD and only in males, yet the drug is most likely to be used over a sustained period in clinical practice. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to investigate the anxiolytic-like effect of CBD in female rats compared to males and to determine whether the responsiveness of females was influenced by the stage of the estrous cycle. Methods: We carried out experiments to compare the effect of CBD in male and female rats in the elevated plus maze (EPM) in response to acute and short-term (4 days) administration through a complete cycle in females. Results: Male and female rats behaved in a similar manner in the EPM, but females in the late diestrus (LD) phase exhibited more anxiety-like behavior than at other stages, the difference reaching statistical significance compared to proestrus stages. CBD produced anxiolytic-like effects in both sexes, but female rats were responsive only in LD and 10-fold lower dose than males. After sub-chronic (4 days) treatment, responsiveness to CBD was maintained in females in LD, but females in proestrus remained unresponsive to CBD treatment. Conclusions: We suggest that there are sex differences in the anxiolytic-like effects of CBD in rats that reflect different underlying mechanisms: based on literature data, gonadal hormone status linked to GABAA receptor expression in females, and 5-HT1A receptor activation in males.
Hepatitis C virus monitoring in inpatient psychiatry: Doctors’ practice

Published: October 2022

Objectives Current guidelines recommend routine Hepatitis C virus (HCV) monitoring in people with serious mental illness. We sought to determine the rates at which doctors practising in inpatient psychiatry units monitor the HCV exposure risk and HCV infection status of their patients. Methods Electronic medical records (EMRs) of 50 short stay and 50 long stay mental health inpatients of a regional NSW hospital were retrospectively audited to determine the rates at which doctors screened for HCV and associated risk factors. Chi-squared analysis and Fisher’s exact test were performed to compare the two groups. Results Screening rates for HCV-associated risk factors varied according to the specific risk factor explored (prior incarceration 61%; intravenous drug use 55%; and tattoos/piercings 6%). Of 30 patients identified as having at least one HCV-associated risk factor, only 27% ( n = 8) were tested for HCV during their admission, and the likelihood of testing was significantly higher in the long stay group. HCV infection status was documented for only one-third (34%) of patients. Conclusions There is significant scope for improvement in assessing HCV status and exposure risk in this setting. Improved awareness among mental health professionals as to the higher incidence of HCV in this population could elicit more widespread monitoring.
