Abstract
High blood pressure would present in postpartum women diagnosed with hypertension during their perinatal period. Few studies are available regarding the self-management of postnatal hypertension via the eHealth system. This study aimed to develop a self-management eHealth system for women with postnatal hypertension during the postpartum period. We applied this system on multi-platform, not only on web interface but also on the platform of varied smartphones. The proposed system possessed three novel features: (1) Population was limited to postnatal women with hypertension; (2) self-care record, which allowed the postnatal women to keep tracking their blood pressure, pulse, weight, medication record, exercise record, and risk factor assessment; and (3) through this system, nurse-midwife could keep track of postnatal women's health status maintaining the complete record and could communicate directly with the users if their health monitor values reach beyond normal range. A survey was conducted among the postnatal women to evaluate the usability and acceptance of the eHealth system. The results showed that the overall satisfaction rate of the system reached 94.9% suggesting that the system was helpful to the users.

Abstract
Animal shelters address animal welfare in communities through the intake and outcome of companion animals, but these efforts affect population dynamics of companion animals based on the distance animals are moved and the factors that underlie intake and outcome. Using data from an animal shelter in Washington, D.C., we analyzed cat intakes and outcomes based on geographic and socioeconomic factors. Most intakes were stray cats (59%) and cats relinquished by owners (38%) whereas most outcomes were adoptions (84%). The highest number of intakes were in high development, low-income neighborhoods whereas the lowest number of intakes were in low development, high-income neighborhoods. The highest number of outcomes were to high-income neighborhoods and there was a trend towards more outcomes in neighborhoods further from the shelter. Cats returned to the shelter were more likely to originate nearer the shelter compared to relinquishment. Stray intakes were less common, and return to shelter were more common, in high-income, high development areas. Seized cats originated from low-income neighborhoods. Relative to adoptions, the proportion of returned to owner outcomes was higher in low-income neighborhoods that were closer to the shelter as well as high-income neighborhoods that were distant the shelter. Our results highlight the factors underlying cat intakes and outcomes in shelters that ultimately determine where, when, and how animals are moved across urban areas; these factors must be considered when developing cat population management plans to reach animal welfare and societal goals.

Abstract
We modeled biological growth using a random differential equation (RDE), where the initial condition is a random variable and the growth rate is a suitable stochastic process. These assumptions let us to obtain a model that represents well the random growth process observed in nature, where only a few individuals of the population reach the maximal size of the species and the growth curve for every individual behaves randomly. Since we assumed that the initial condition is a random variable, we assigned a priori density and we performed Bayesian inference to update the initial condition’s density of the RDE. Karhunen-Loeve expansion was then used to approximate the random coefficient of the RDE. Then, using the RDE’s approximations, we estimated the density f(p, t). Finally, we fitted this model to the biological growth of the giant electric ray (or Cortez electric ray) Narcine entemedor. Simulations of the solution of the random logistic equation were performed to construct a curve that describes the solutions’ mean for each time. As a result, we estimated confidence intervals for the mean growth that described reasonably well the observed data. We fit the proposed model with a training dataset and the model is tested with a different dataset. The model selection is performed with the square of the errors.

Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate a new non-contact instrument (OA-2000) measuring the ocular biometry parameters of silicone oil (SO)-filled aphakia eyes, as compared with IOLMaster 700.
Methods
Forty SO-filled aphakia eyes of 40 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional clinical trial. The axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), keratometry (Kf [flattest keratometry] and Ks [steep keratometry, 90° apart from Kf]), and axis of the Kf (Ax1) measured with OA-2000 were compared with those measured with IOLMaster 700. The agreements of the results between the two devices were evaluated by Bland-Altman analysis. The differences of measurement results were evaluated by paired t test, and the correlation was evaluated by the Pearson coefficient. The coefficient of variation (CoV) was calculated to assess the repeatability.
Results
The mean AL obtained with the OA-2000 was 23.57 ± 0.93mm (range: 21.50 to 25.68mm), and that obtained with the IOLMaster 700 was 23.69 ± 0.94mm (range: 21.85 to 25.86mm), resulting in a mean offset of 0.124 ± 0.125mm (p < 0.001). The mean offset of CCT measured by OA-2000 and IOLMaster 700 was 14.6 ± 7.5µm (p < 0.001). However, the Kf, Ks and Ax1 values from the two devices were comparable (p > 0.05). All the measured parameters of the two devices showed strong linear correlations (all r ≥ 0.966). Bland-Altman analysis showed a narrow 95% limits of agreement (LoA) of Kf, Ks and AL, but 95%LoA of CCT and Ax1 was wide, which were − 29.3 ~ 0.1µm and-25.9 ~ 30.7°respectively. The CoVs of the biometric parameters obtained with OA-2000 were lower than 1%.
Conclusion
In SO-filled aphakia eyes, the ocular parameters (including AL, Kf, Ks, Ax1, and CCT) measured by the OA-2000 and IOLMaster 700 had a good correlation. Two devices had an excellent agreement on ocular biometric measurements of Kf, Ks and AL. OA-2000 provided excellent repeatability of ocular biometry parameters in SO-filled aphakia eyes.

Published: October 2022

AbstractZone Umide della Capitanata, located in the northeastern part of the Apulia Region, is one of the most extensive coastal wetlands of the Italian peninsula and one of the largest components of the Mediterranean wetland system. Despite its high ecological importance, this site has been undergoing a variety of pressures intensified in recent decades. This study analyzes and evaluates the changes occurred in this area between 2010 and 2020. Land cover and habitat maps were performed by photointerpretation and on-site surveys, and classified according to the FAO-LCCS and EUNIS taxonomies, respectively. To focus on local dynamics, four subset areas were analyzed separately. A set of landscape metrics was computed to analyze the landscape structure. The anthropogenic pressures affecting the study area were described through the DPSIR (Driving Forces-Pressures-State-Impact-Response) conceptual framework. Numerous changes were identified, deriving from both finest thematic redefinition and anthropogenic pressures. Both class conversions and class modifications were identified and quantified by means of transition matrices. Most of the observed conversions were borne by classes belonging to saltmarshes and to coastal dune systems. In particular, landscape configuration of coastal dune classes was well highlighted by a set of specific landscape metrics. Agriculture practices and changes in water flow pattern turned out to be the main driving forces exerting pressures on these natural systems. Significant differences were found between the four subsets under analysis, thus, indicating that different management strategies lead to different levels of conservation.

Published: October 2022

Abstract

Induced seismicity is a limiting factor for the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) and has led to the cancellation of a few projects. Its causal mechanisms are not fully understood, especially those of post-injection seismicity. Here, we revisit the controversial case of the Basel EGS (Switzerland) to better understand the mechanisms that induced seismicity by simulating the hydro-mechanical response to hydraulic stimulation of a pre-existing fault network built on the basis of the monitored seismicity. Simulation results show that the faults located in the vicinity of the injection well fail during injection, triggered by pore pressure buildup coupled with poroelastic stressing, whereas distant faults are stabilized by poroelastic effects depending on the orientation. After injection stops, poroelastic stress relaxation leads to the immediate rupture of these previously stabilized faults. Shear-slip stress transfer, which also contributes to post-injection reactivation of distant faults, is enhanced in faults with slip-induced friction weakening. This work presents a modeling approach to understand the multiple processes leading to the rupture of pre-existent fractures in EGS reservoirs, which is key to improve our induced seismicity forecasting and mitigating capability.

Authors: Wu Xiaoqing , He Shuqiong , Li Ying , Guo Danhua , Chen Xuemei , Liang Bing , Wang Meiying , Huang Hailong , Xu Liangpu 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background: Prenatal invasive genetic testing is always offered in pregnancies of FGR. The aim of this study was to explore the fetal genetic factors for FGR without structural malformations according to conventional karyotyping and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array) analysis during a 10-year period.
Methods:We retrospectively reviewed 488 fetuses who diagnosed with FGR and without structural malformation. Conventional karyotyping was performed on all subjects, and SNP array was performed on 272 of them. The cohort was classified into groups diagnosed at ≤24, 25-28, 29-32, and > 32 weeks of gestation. According to the ultrasonography, they were grouped into isolated FGR, FGR with soft markers, and FGR with nonstructural anomalies. Based on the maternal serum screening (MSS), they were categorized into high-risk and low-risk MSS groups. The rates of abnormal karyotypes and incremental yield of clinically significant aberrations detected by SNP array were compared among groups in different classifications.
Results: According to conventional karyotyping for the whole cohort, 19 (3.9%) cases of chromosomal anomalies were detected, including 11 cases of numerical abnormalities, 5 of structural abnormalities, and 3 of mosaicism. Abnormal karyotypes were more frequently detected in cases diagnosed at ≤24 weeks (7.2%), cases with soft markers (5.2%), and cases with high-risk MSS (7.5%) than in other groups within each classification. Among cases with normal karyotype, additional 4.2% of clinically relevant aberrations were detected by SNP array. The incremental yields in cases diagnosed at ≤24 weeks (6.5%), cases with soft markers (9.5%), and cases with high-risk MSS (12.0%) were higher than those in other groups within each classification.All fetuses with abnormal karyotypes and 7 out of 11 fetuses with clinically relevant aberrations detected by SNP array only resulted in terminations of pregnancy, and the rest 4 fetuses were live born.
Conclusion:Fetal chromosomal aberration is an important etiology for FGR without structural malformation, and plays an important role in pregnancies decision-making. SNP array improves the detection of genetic anomalies especially in fetuses diagnosed at ≤24 weeks, fetuses with soft makers, and fetuses with high risk of MSS.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
Acute ischemic stroke is defined as decrease in the brain blood supply caused by a blood vessel burst or being blocked by a thrombus, resulting in decreased oxygen and nutrients supply, causing brain tissue damage. Diffusion weighted sequences (DWI) gave us data on the pathophysiology of ischemia and may contribute to therapeutic decisions. Susceptibility weighted (SWI) sequences also have the potential to assess tissue viability. An ischemic area showed increased oxygen extraction fraction and slow flow contributed to greater level of deoxyhemoglobin and vein dilatation, which increases the prominence of vessels on SWI. This prominent vessel sign (PVS) on SWI has been reported due to increased oxygen extraction and matches well with venous and capillary deoxyhemoglobin levels. We aimed in this study to highlight the role of the addition of susceptibility weighted MR images to diffusion weighted images of the brain in the diagnosis of patients with acute stroke. Results: Prominent vessel sign (PVS) on SWI was found in 46 (76.7%) patients. Twelve (20%) patients had haemorrhage (low signals) on SWI and 2 (3.3%) patients had no SWI findings. DWI showed a sensitivity of (100%) and SWI showed a sensitivity of (96.7%) for the detection of infarct All of the 60 (100%) patients showed hyperintense signals on T2WIs, FLAIR sequences, and on DWI and hypointense signals on the ADC map. Conclusions: SWI is a potential adjunct in individuals with acute infarction, SWI may be helpful in identifying asymmetrical conspicuous hypointense arteries, positive DWI-SWI mismatch is an indicator of the ischemic penumbra and a prognostic indicator for infarct expansion.
Body size and countermeasure exercise: implications upon resource utilization during human space exploration missions with female astronauts
Authors: Scott Jonathan P. R. , Green David A. , Cheuvront Samuel N. , Weerts Guillaume 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Employing a methodology reported in a recent theoretical study on male astronauts, this study estimated the effects of body size and aerobic countermeasure (CM) exercise in a four-person, all-female crew composed of individuals drawn from a stature range (1.50- to 1.90-m) representative of current space agency requirements upon total energy expenditure (TEE), oxygen (O2) consumption, carbon dioxide (CO2) and metabolic heat (Hprod) production, and water requirements for hydration, during space exploration missions. Assuming geometric similarity across the stature range, estimates were derived using available female astronaut data (mean age: 40-y; BMI: 22.7-kg·m− 2; resting VO2 and VO2max: 3.3- and 40.5-mL·kg− 1·min− 1) on 30- and 1080-d missions, without and with, ISS-like countermeasure exercise (modelled as 2x30min aerobic exercise at 75% VO₂max, 6d·wk1). Where spaceflight-specific data/equations were not available, terrestrial equivalents were used. Body size alone increased 24-h TEE (+ 30%), O₂ consumption (+ 60%), CO₂ (+ 60%) and Hprod (+ 60%) production, and water requirements (+ 17%). With CM exercise, the increases were 25–31%, 29%, 32%, 38% and 17–25% across the stature range. Compared to the previous study of theoretical male astronauts, the effect of body size on TEE was markedly less in females, and, at equivalent statures, all parameter estimates were lower for females, with relative differences ranging from − 5% to -29%. When compared at the 50th percentile for stature for US females and males, these differences increased to -11% to -41% and translated to larger reductions in TEE, O2 and water requirements, and less CO2 and Hprod during 1080-d missions using CM exercise. Differences between female and male theoretical astronauts result from lower resting and exercising O2 requirements – based on available astronaut data of female astronauts who are lighter than male astronauts at equivalent statures, and having lower relative VO₂max values. These data, combined with the current move towards smaller diameter space habitat modules point to a number of potential advantages of all-female crews during future human space exploration missions.

Authors: Jemal Kero 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Background
Allophylus serratus Roxb (Kurz.) is a medicinal plant with various therapeutic properties. It has been used for the treatment of various alignments such as elephantiasis, edema, fractured bones, in bone dislocations, wound, several gastrointestinal disorders such as dyspepsia, anorexia, and diarrhea. The aim of this study is to establish protocol for surface sterilization, in vitro callus induction and plant regeneration from leaf and nodal segment explants of Allophylus serratus.
Results
From the tested media, the maximum callus induction frequency (81.11%) from leaf and 84.44% from nodal segment explants were achieved on MS medium supplemented with 3 mg l− 1BAP) combined with 0.5mgl− 1 NAA. The highest shoot regeneration frequency (57.78%) and root regeneration frequency (65.55%) were achieved on growth regulators free MS medium and MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg l− 1IBA respectively. Acclimatization of the regenerated plantlets was established successfully (100%) in a pot containing sand, soil and compost in 1:2:2 ratios.
Conclusions
In this study successful callus induction protocol from leaf and nodal explants of A. serratus using MS media supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of plant growth regulators (2,4-D, NAA, and BAP). MS media containing 3mg/l BAP and 0.5mg/l NAA was the most efficient for callus induction. these callus induction and plant regeneration protocols are very important for mass propagation of the species and also opens a new way to facilitate secondary metabolites production and isolation of pharmaceuticals from callus rather than harvesting the plant.

Abstract
Introduction: Respectful maternity care is an approach that involves respecting women’s belief, choices, emotions, and dignity during the childbirth process. As the workload among maternity care workforce affects intrapartum quality care, respectful maternity care might have also been affected, particularly during the pandemic. Thus, this study was conducted to examine the association between workload among healthcare providers and their practice of respectful maternity care, before and during the pandemic.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in South Western Nepal. A total of 267 healthcare providers from 78 birthing centers were included. Data collection was done through telephone interviews. The exposure variable was workload among the healthcare providers, and the outcome variable was respectful maternity care practice before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multilevel mixed-effect linear regression was used to examine the association.
Results: The median client-provider ratio before and during the pandemic was 21.7 and 13.0, respectively. The mean score of respectful maternity care practice was 44.5 (SD 3.8) before the pandemic, which was decreased to 43.6 (SD 4.5) during the pandemic. Client-provider ratio was negatively associated with respectful maternity care practice for both times; before (Coef. -5.16; 95% CI -8.41 to -1.91) and during (Coef. -7.47; 95% CI -12.72 to -2.23) the pandemic.
Conclusions: While a higher client-provider was associated with a lower respectful maternity care practice score both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the coefficient was larger during the pandemic. Therefore, workload among the healthcare providers should be considered before the implementation of respectful maternity care, and more attention should be given during the pandemic.

Abstract
The invasive emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) causes damages to street trees estimated to reach US$ 900 million over the next 30 years. Although millions of dollars are spent annually to control this species, such approaches are often based on heuristics. Here, we reveal an optimal management strategy to protect urban trees in North America from A. planipennis. To achieve this, we embedded a pest dispersal model within a mixed integer programming framework. We discovered that optimized strategies consistently outperformed those based on heuristics, potentially resulting in the protection of an additional one million street trees and savings of $585 million. Critically, the best management strategies always relied on quarantines and biological control (constituting 74-89% and 11-26% of the project budget, respectively), in contrast with current practices, which have shifted responsibility for quarantines to state authorities. Our findings serve to inform future pest control efforts, and can potentially protect many more trees from this invasive species.
