Review of two viral agents of economic importance to the equine industry (equine herpesvirus‐1, and equine arteritis virus)
Authors: Mahmoud Hassan Y. A. H. , Fouad Samer S. , Amin Yahia A. 
Published: June 2022

SummaryEquine herpesvirus type‐1 (EHV‐1) and equine arteritis virus (EAV) are infectious agents that cause serious health risks to horse populations and are disbursed worldwide, which can lead to significant financial losses. In addition to being responsible for abortion and neonatal death, these viruses are associated with respiratory illness. Although previous research and reviews have been written on these viruses, both viruses still affect horse populations around the world and the vaccines currently available are not completely protective, especially against EHV‐1 and equine herpes myeloencephalopathy (EHM). Moreover, EAV is considered a threat to the $102 billion equine industry in the United States. As a result, these viruses represent a huge threat to the horse industry and efforts geared towards preventing the outbreak of the disease are strongly encouraged. For this reason, updates about these viruses are necessary and require more and more discussion on the nature and characteristics of these viruses to know how to overcome them. Prevention and control of abortion and neonatal foal death caused by each of the two viruses depend on appropriate management strategies coupled with prophylactic vaccination. This review presents the latest detailed information on EHV‐1 and EAV from several aspects such as transmission, clinical signs, pathogenesis, latest developments on the treatment of the diseases, vaccination, and finally challenges and future perspectives. The information presented herein will be useful in understanding EHV‐1 and EAV and formulating policies that can help to limit the spread of these viruses within horse populations.
Married to Monet: Alternatives for complex asset division in the modern age of matrimony
Authors: Doty Elizabeth 
Published: June 2022

AbstractDivorce proceedings can be arduous and emotional actions when it comes time to divide unique, complex marital property. The difficulty often lies in parties’ inability to compromise on value and distribution methods which leave the court with no recourse other than liquidation. However, liquidation rarely maintains equity between parties due to inconsistent valuation techniques and procedures. This Note proposes alternative considerations for drafting prenuptial agreements and arbitration clauses which will allow parties to address and anticipate potential conflicts regarding complex assets prior to the matter arising in court. Thus, parties may be better equipped with the legal tools necessary to dispel ambiguity in the division process and, ultimately, attempt to approach equity.
The generalized cash balance problem: optimization‐based one step ahead optimal control
Authors: Bhaya Amit , Kaszkurewicz Eugenius 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis paper generalizes the Sethi–Thompson model of cash balance dynamics to the case of multiple current and investment accounts, with the cash flows or demands incident on the current accounts. Cash transfers can occur between any pair of current–current or current–investment accounts, with transaction costs proportional to the amount transferred, always deducted from current accounts. Performance indices are defined and maximization of an index for the next instant (day), by suitable choice of cash transfers that satisfy desired constraints on account balances, defines the basic optimal control problem referred to as one step ahead optimal control. It is shown that this one step ahead optimal control can be written as a mixed integer linear program of small size, leading to an implementable real time strategy for the generalized cash balance problem. In addition, for the simple case of a single cash and investment account, the proposed strategy is derived analytically and compared with a strategy of Miller–Orr type, called a three‐level strategy. Omniscient optimal control over a horizon is defined as the globally optimal control strategy, assuming the demands over the entire horizon to be known: although computable a posteriori, it is not implementable a priori, and only serves as a benchmark for comparison. The proposed one step ahead optimal or myopic approach makes no assumptions about the distribution of cash demands, and examples show that it attains performance indices which are superior to those attained by three‐level control strategies, and compare favorably with the omniscient benchmark performance indices.

Published: June 2022

AbstractAimTo evaluate the effectiveness of psychological interventions in reducing fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer survivors.DesignA systematic review and meta‐analysis.Data SourcesPubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for relevant studies published from 1 January 1976 to 28 November 2020.MethodsEligible randomized controlled trials on psychological interventions for reducing fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer survivors were included in meta‐analysis. Review Manager 5.4 was used to conduct the meta‐analysis, and the fear of cancer recurrence score was calculated by using standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals. Risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane risk‐of‐bias tool. Quality of evidence, sensitivity analyses, and subgroup analyses were also conducted.ResultsThis systematic review included 16 randomized controlled trials. We found psychological interventions significantly reduced fear of cancer recurrence. Subgroup analyses indicated that mindfulness and acceptance therapy‐based interventions reduced fear of cancer recurrence, whereas cognitive‐behavioural therapy combined with psychoeducation did not. Interventions with three to eight sessions were effective, while interventions with nine or more sessions were not. Face‐to‐face interventions were effective, whereas online interventions were not. The quality of evidence for fear of cancer recurrence was evaluated as moderate due to moderate heterogeneity in the included studies.ConclusionsPsychological interventions were effective in reducing fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer survivors. Mindfulness and acceptance therapy‐based interventions and short‐term interventions are recommended. Future well‐designed randomized controlled trials aiming to examine the effectiveness of psychological interventions in reducing fear of cancer recurrence are needed.ImpactThe findings of this systematic review may guide the development of psychological interventions and encourage the use of psychological interventions for reducing fear of cancer recurrence in breast cancer survivors.
Bank systemic risk: An analysis of the sovereign rating ceiling policy and rating downgrades
Authors: Wasi Md Abdul , Pham Thu Phuong , Zurbruegg Ralf 
Published: June 2022

AbstractWe investigate the impact that the sovereign ceiling policy has on financial stability. In the event of a sovereign rating downgrade, we find that the rating agencies' sovereign ceiling policy leads to a disproportionate downgrade of the most creditworthy financial institutions in the economy and results in increased systemic risk. This asymmetric variation in bank ratings also impairs equity growth that further exacerbates bank insolvency. Our results are robust to several matching techniques, such as propensity score matching and entropy balancing, falsification tests, subsample analyses, alternative empirical proxies and model specifications.
Latent Space Model for Process Data
Authors: Chen Yi , Zhang Jingru , Yang Yi , Lee Young‐Sun 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe development of human‐computer interactive items in educational assessments provides opportunities to extract useful process information for problem‐solving. However, the complex, intensive, and noisy nature of process data makes it challenging to model with the traditional psychometric methods. Social network methods have been applied to visualize and analyze process data. Nonetheless, research about statistical modeling of process information using social network methods is still limited. This article explored the application of the latent space model (LSM) for analyzing process data in educational assessment. The adjacent matrix of transitions between actions was created based on the weighted and directed network of action sequences and related auxiliary information. Then, the adjacent matrix was modeled with LSM to identify the lower‐dimensional latent positions of actions. Three applications based on the results from LSM were introduced: action clustering, error analysis, and performance measurement. The simulation study showed that LSM can cluster actions from the same problem‐solving strategy and measure students’ performance by comparing their action sequences with the optimal strategy. Finally, we analyzed the empirical data from PISA 2012 as a real case scenario to illustrate how to use LSM.

AbstractAims and ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of Virtual Reality Technology in reducing kinesiophobia in people.BackgroundKinesiophobia is an important psychosocial factor affecting the pain experience and has a significant negative impact on rehabilitation. Virtual reality technology has been widely used in the treatment of phobias, mental disorders and anxiety disorders. However, the effect of virtual reality technology on people with kinesiophobia has been reported with inconsistent results.DesignA meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials.MethodsThis study systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, Medline, Scopus and four Chinese databases. The standardised mean difference (SMD) was calculated using random‐effects models, and the Cochrane Collaboration's tool was used to assess the risk of bias in each study. The PRISMA 2020 checklist provided by the EQUATOR network was used.ResultsEleven randomised controlled trials involving a total of 488 subjects were included. Meta‐analysis showed the effect sizes of virtual reality intervention on kinesiophobia (SMD = −0.53, 95% CI [−0.90, −0.17], p = .004). Virtual reality intervention was more effective in reducing kinesiophobia in people with chronic low back pain (SMD = −1.00, 95% CI [−1.71, −0.29], p = .006). Compared with fully immersive virtual reality (SMD = −0.29, 95% CI [−0.62, 0.05], p = 0.09), non‐immersive virtual reality was more effective in reducing kinesiophobia (SMD = −0.66, 95% CI [−1.24, −0.09], p = 0.02). Compared with virtual reality intervention alone (SMD = −0.35, 95% CI [−1.40, 0.71], p = 0.52), virtual reality combined with exercise was more effective in reducing kinesiophobia (SMD = −0.59, 95% CI [−0.95, −0.22], p = 0.002).ConclusionsVirtual reality technology has the potential to reduce the degree of kinesiophobia in people. In addition, virtual reality technology was more effective in people with chronic low back pain; non‐immersive virtual reality was more effective in reducing kinesiophobia; and virtual reality technology combined with exercise was more effective in reducing kinesiophobia than virtual reality intervention alone. Clinical nursing staff should be encouraged to use virtual reality to speed up patient recovery. However, to achieve immersion and apply this technology to different diseases, more studies are required to provide clearer suggestions.Relevance to clinical practiceThis study suggests that healthcare staff should pay attention to kinesiophobia, and early identification and intervention of kinesiophobia can help patients recover their health and improve the quality of nursing.
Hospitality in dementia‐friendly environments is significant to caregivers during hospitalisation of their loved ones. A qualitative study
Authors: Kristiansen Susanne , Olsen Lotte Schelde , Beck Malene 
Published: June 2022

AbstractAim and objectivesTo explore what is meaningful to caregivers in relation to a dementia‐friendly environment during hospitalisation of their loved ones with dementia or cognitive impairment.BackgroundImplementation of dementia‐friendly initiatives and person‐centred care approach have shaped the political agenda within Danish society. Patients with dementia or cognitive impairment and their accompanying caregivers are challenged when admitted to hospital. During hospitalisation, caregivers find themselves in a vulnerable state of mind. Thus, the implementation of a dementia‐friendly environment and adherence to person‐centred care in hospital settings leaves room for improvement.MethodsThis study was guided by a qualitative and explorative approach. Data were collected through 17 semi‐structured interviews with caregivers at a subacute neurological ward. Thematic analysis was employed to interpret data. The study reports according to the COREQ checklist.ResultsThe following three themes were identified: 1) Being a watchful bystander. 2) Visiting an undefined and foreign environment. 3) Longing for kindness.ConclusionHospitality expressed by staff towards caregivers is significant in allowing caregivers to experience hospital environments as “friendly.” Dementia‐friendly environments embrace existential aspects that go far beyond physical spaces; hence, experiences of kind acts shape caregivers' sense of safety and comfort during hospitalisation. Hospitality is an essential part of nursing in dementia care because caregivers are contextually vulnerable. Our study sheds new light on the provision of person‐centred care to people with dementia and their families in healthcare.Relevance to clinical practiceNurses need to be aware that caregivers experience vulnerability and to involve caregivers in the care provided for patients with dementia. We recommend that a permanent contact person be appointed to follow patients throughout their admission period. Furthermore, systematic interventions focusing on phenomena such as hospitality and kindness may serve to form a person‐centred clinical culture; an issue that warrants further investigation.
Criteria of identity without sortals
Authors: Mooney Justin 
Published: June 2022

AbstractMany philosophers believe that the criteria of identity over time for ordinary objects entail that such objects are permanent members of certain sortal kinds. The sortal kinds in question have come to be known as substance sortal kinds. But in this article, I defend a criterion of identity that is suited tophasalism, the view that alleged substance sortals are in fact phase sortals. The criterion I defend is a sortal‐weighted version of a change‐minimizing criterion first discussed by Eli Hirsch. I present this criterion and then argue that it withstands attempts to show that it is inferior to non‐phasalist rivals.
Two AT‐Hook proteins regulate A/NINV7 expression to modulate sucrose catabolism for cold tolerance in Poncirus trifoliata

Summary

Invertase (INV)‐mediated sucrose (Suc) hydrolysis, leading to the irreversible production of glucose (Glc) and fructose (Frc), plays an essential role in abiotic stress tolerance of plants. However, the regulatory network associated with the Suc catabolism in response to cold environment remains largely elusive.

Herein, the cold‐induced alkaline/neutral INV gene PtrA/NINV7 of trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.) was shown to function in cold tolerance via mediating the Suc hydrolysis. Meanwhile, a nuclear matrix‐associated region containing A/T‐rich sequences within its promoter was indispensable for the cold induction of PtrA/NINV7.

Two AT‐Hook Motif Containing Nuclear Localized (AHL) proteins, PtrAHL14 and PtrAHL17, were identified as upstream transcriptional activators of PtrA/NINV7 by interacting with the A/T‐rich motifs. PtrAHL14 and PtrAHL17 function positively in the cold tolerance by modulating PtrA/NINV7‐mediated Suc catabolism. Furthermore, both PtrAHL14 and PtrAHL17 could form homo‑ and heterodimers between each other, and interacted with two histone acetyltransferases (HATs), GCN5 and TAF1, leading to elevated histone3 acetylation level under the cold stress.

Taken together, our findings unraveled a new cold‐responsive signaling module (AHL14/17‐HATs‐A/NINV7) for orchestration of Suc catabolism and cold tolerance, which shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying Suc catabolism catalyzed by A/NINVs under cold stress.

AbstractBackgroundLambl's excrescences (LEs) are excrescences with an extremely low incidence, mainly ultrasound diagnosed. Increasingly, LEs are detected by transesophageal echocardiography before catheter ablation, which raises safety concerns on whether LEs were associated with an embolism event during or after ablation, but clinical data are still lacking.Methods and ResultsWe consecutively recruited 8081 patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from Jan 1, 2017 to Dec 31, 2019. Total 21 patients (0.3%) were diagnosed as LEs with an average age of 70.8 ± 8.9 years, and 38.1% were male. Persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) accounted for 57.1% (12 cases) and 42.9% (nine cases), respectively. LEs were mostly frequently observed on the aortic valve (18 cases, 75%) and mitral valve (six cases, 25%). Precisely, the noncoronary cusp is ranked first in terms of the LEs presence (seven cases, 29.2%), followed by the right coronary cusp (six cases, 25.0%), the left coronary cusp (five cases, 20.8%), the anterior mitral valve (four cases, 16.7%), and the posterior mitral valve (two cases, 8.3%). During the ablation for LEs patients, the average procedure time was 96.0 ± 22.4 min; the average fluoroscopy time was 4.2 ± 0.8 min; the average total ablation time was 20.6 ± 5.6 min; and the mean hospital stay was 3.3 ± 0.6 days. No patients suffered from serious complications during the procedure. Furthermore, no cardiovascular event was observed during a follow‐up of 19.1 ± 11.8 months.ConclusionsThere was no clear association between LEs with intraoperative embolism events or cardiovascular events during the follow‐up period.

AbstractBackgroundEsophageal thermal lesion (ETL) is a complication of radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation (RFAF). To prospectively compare the incidence of ETL, we used two linear, five‐ and three‐sensor esophageal thermal monitoring catheters (ETMC5 and ETMC3). We also evaluated the predictors of ETL.MethodsPatients receiving their first RFAF (n = 106) were randomized into two groups, ETMC5 (n = 52) and ETMC3 (n = 54). Ablation was followed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy within 3 days.ResultsEsophageal thermal lesion was detected in 7/106 (6.6%) patients (ETMC5: 3/52 [5.8%] vs. ETMC3: 4/54 [7.4%]; p = 1.0). The maximum temperature and number of measurements > 39.0°C did not differ between the groups (ETMC5: 40.5°C and 5.4 vs. ETMC3: 40.6°C and 4.9; p = .83 and p = .58, respectively). In ETMC5 group, the catheter had to be moved significantly less often (0.12 vs. 0.42; p = .0014) and fluoroscopy time was significantly shorter (79.2 min vs. 101.7 min; p = .0038) compared with ECMC3 group. The total number of ablations in ETMC5 group was significantly greater (50.2 vs. 37.7; p = .030) and ablation time was significantly longer (52.1 min vs. 40.1 min; p = .0039). Only body mass index (BMI) was significantly different between patients with and without ETL (21.4 ± 2.5 vs. 24.3 ± 3.4; p = .022).ConclusionsThe incidence of ETL was comparable between ETMC5 and ETMC3 groups; however, fluoroscopy time, total ablation time, and total number of ablations differed significantly. Lower BMI may increase the risk of developing ETL.

Published: June 2022

AimThe association between psychiatric symptoms in Lewy body disease (LBD) and the noradrenergic and serotonergic systems is still controversial. This study investigated the quantitative relationships of depression and delusion with these systems.MethodsWe studied 24 postmortem tissues from individuals with a pathological diagnosis of LBD with sufficient clinical history. The numbers of neurons and Lewy bodies (LBs) in the locus coeruleus (LC) and dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) were counted, and the density of neurons in the DRN was analyzed. In addition, the densities of tryptophan hydroxylase‐positive neurites and norepinephrine transporter‐positive neurites in the amygdala and dorsal prefrontal cortex were measured. Finally, we divided the cases into two groups: with or without depressive mood, and with or without delusion. Quantitative histological data were compared between the groups.ResultsThe group with depressive mood had a significantly smaller number of neurons in the LC compared with the group without depressive mood. The group with delusion had a significantly larger number of LBs in the DRN compared with the group without delusion. The density of norepinephrine transporter‐positive neurites in the dorsal prefrontal cortex was significantly correlated with the number of neurons in the LC.ConclusionsThe accumulation of LBs in the DRN of individuals with LBD was associated with delusion, whereas a decrease in the number of neurons in the LC was associated with depressive mood. These neurodegenerative changes involved the serotonergic and noradrenergic systems and may be associated with the formation of delusion and depression, respectively, in LBD.
Bronchial thermoplasty: State of the art

Published: June 2022

AbstractSince the publication of a sham‐controlled, randomized trial (AIR2) and subsequent marketing approval by the US Food and Drug Administration, we have significantly advanced our understanding of bronchial thermoplasty (BT)'s scientific basis, long‐term safety, clinical efficacy and cost‐effectiveness. In particular, the last 2 years have witnessed multiple research publications on several of these counts. In this review, we critically appraise our evolving understanding of BT's biologic underpinnings and clinical impact, offer an evidence‐based patient workflow guide for the busy pulmonologist and highlight both current challenges as well as potential solutions for the researcher and the clinician.
