Beeinflusst Diabetes mellitus die Adhärenz von Glaukompatienten?
Authors: Zhao Qifan Felix , Hirneiss Christoph 
Published: November 2022

ZusammenfassungBei chronisch progredienten und therapierbaren Erkrankungen ist die Adhärenz der Patienten ausschlaggebend für den Krankheitsverlauf und entscheidet maßgeblich über den Therapieerfolg.
Dabei ist nicht nur eine geringe Adhärenz bei der Medikamenteneinnahme problematisch, sondern auch beim Einhalten der empfohlenen Nachuntersuchungen. Eine akkurate Einschätzung der Adhärenz
ist insbesondere bei Glaukompatienten nur schwer möglich aufgrund der Darreichungsform als Augentropfen bei den meisten drucksenkenden Medikamenten. In der Literatur lässt sich eine große
Variabilität an Angaben für die Adhärenz von Glaukompatienten finden. Die meisten Studien berichten eine durchschnittliche Arzneimitteladhärenz von ungefähr 70% mit einem Patientenanteil von
um die 50% mit einer guten Adhärenz (mindestens 80% der Medikation wird wie geplant appliziert). Des Weiteren landen 6,8 – 31,4% der Augentropfen nicht im Auge, wodurch noch weniger
Wirkstoff einen therapeutischen Effekt erzielen kann. Auch weisen Glaukompatienten eine geringe Persistenz und Adhärenz in puncto Kontrolluntersuchungen auf. Da ein bestehender Diabetes das
Risiko für ein POAG und sekundäre Glaukomformen steigert und Diabetiker eine besonders niedrige Adhärenz aufweisen, stellte sich die Frage, ob eine Diabetesdiagnose mit einer erniedrigten
Adhärenz bei Glaukompatienten assoziiert ist. Bisherige Studien fanden keine signifikante Assoziation zwischen einer Diabeteskomorbidität und einer erniedrigten Adhärenz bei
Glaukompatienten, allerdings wurde ein signifikanter Einfluss von einem erhöhten HbA1c-Wert auf die Adhärenz bei Glaukompatienten in einer Studie festgestellt. Dieser Zusammenhang
muss allerdings noch in Studien mit größeren Stichproben genauer untersucht werden.

Abstract
Background Social media platforms have emerged as a valuable data source for public health research and surveillance. Monitoring of social media and user-generated data on the Web enables timely and inexpensive collection of information, overcoming time lag and cost of traditional health reporting systems.
Objectives This article identifies personally experienced coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine reactions expressed on Twitter and validate the findings against an established vaccine reactions reporting system.
Methods We collected around 3 million tweets from 1.4 million users between February 1, 2021, to January 31, 2022, using COVID-19 vaccines and vaccine reactions keyword lists. We performed topic modeling on a sample of the data and applied a modified F1 scoring technique to identify a topic that best differentiated vaccine-related personal health mentions. We then manually annotated 4,000 of the records from this topic, which were used to train a transformer-based classifier to identify likely personally experienced vaccine reactions. Applying the trained classifier to the entire data set allowed us to select records we could use to quantify potential vaccine side effects. Adverse events following immunization (AEFI) referred to in these records were compared with those reported to the state of Victoria's spontaneous vaccine safety surveillance system, SAEFVIC (Surveillance of Adverse Events Following Vaccination In the Community).
Results The most frequently mentioned potential vaccine reactions generally aligned with SAEFVIC data. Notable exceptions were increased Twitter reporting of bleeding-related AEFI and allergic reactions, and more frequent SAEFVIC reporting of cardiac AEFI.
Conclusion Social media conversations are a potentially valuable supplementary data source for detecting vaccine adverse event mentions. Monitoring of online observations about new vaccine-related personal health experiences has the capacity to provide early warnings about emerging vaccine safety issues.
Surgical Considerations of One-Stage Reconstruction of Large Extremity Defects Using a Thin Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background One-stage reconstruction with “thin perforator flaps” has been attempted to salvage limbs and restore function. The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is a commonly utilized flap in breast reconstruction (BR). The purpose of this study is to present the versatility of DIEP flaps for the reconstruction of large defects of the extremities.
Methods Patients with large tissue defects on extremities who were treated with thin DIEP flaps from January 2016 to January 2018 were included. They were minimally followed up for 36 months. We analyzed the etiology and location of the soft tissue defect, flap design, anastomosis type, outcome, and complications. We also considered the technical differences in the DIEP flap between breast and extremity reconstruction.
Results Overall, six free DIEP flaps were included in the study. The flap size ranged from 15 × 12 to 30 × 16 cm2. All flaps were transversely designed similar to a traditional BR design. Three flaps were elevated with two perforators. Primary closure of the donor site was possible in all cases. Five flaps survived with no complications. However, partial necrosis occurred in one flap.
Conclusion A DIEP flap is not the first choice for soft tissue defects, but it should be considered for one-stage reconstruction of large defects when the circulation zone of the DIEP flap is considered. In addition, this flap has many advantages over other flaps such as provision of the largest skin paddle, low donor site morbidity with a concealed scar, versatile supercharging technique, and a long pedicle.
A Reliable Method for the Monitoring of Buried Free Flaps Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background In recent years, there has been a shift toward nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) techniques which often negates the need for reconstruction with exposed cutaneous donor flap tissues. Although techniques for the monitoring of buried flaps have been proposed, none have been able to provide the benefits that come with cutaneous monitoring via near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Therefore, we herein propose a novel method for monitoring deepithelialized flap tissues deep to the mastectomy flaps using NIRS technology.
Methods An NSM with free flap reconstruction was performed. The flap was designed with a skin island for placement of a cutaneous NIRS probe. Next, a silicone NIRS probe was placed on a deepithelialized portion of the flap under the mastectomy flap. The readings from this tunneled device were then compared to the control measurements obtained from the cutaneous NIRS monitor. This procedure was performed on three consecutive patients. The changes in StO2 recorded from both devices were compared using a paired, two-tailed Student's t-test.
Results During flap monitoring, there were no issues with probe dislodgement and signal quality averaged greater than 90. Furthermore, probe removal was easily accomplished at bedside. There was no harm to the mastectomy skin flaps by affixing the probe and the pocket which contained the probe quickly closed down after removal. Using the Student's t-test, a p-value of 0.995 was calculated indicating no statistically significant difference between the StO2 readings from the cutaneous and the tunneled probes.
Conclusion By using this novel method, NIRS technology can reliably be applied to the monitoring of buried free flap tissues. The proposed technique could be applied to a variety of flaps beyond the realm of breast reconstruction and may prove to be particularly useful in the setting of head and neck reconstruction. The results of this study suggest that high quality postoperative flap monitoring is possible without compromising the aesthetic result.

AbstractCardiac resynchronization therapy device with defibrillator (CRT-D) implantation is indicated for patients with a history of malignant ventricular arrhythmias, symptomatic heart failure, wide QRS, or high-degree atrioventricular block. A 67-year-old patient with dilated cardiomyopathy received a CRT-D with the conventional method but 1 month later skin necrosis was diagnosed above the device. The complete system was extracted from the patient and we utilized negative pressure wound therapy for the treatment of the remaining tissue. We decided to perform surgical reimplantation of the device using minithoracotomy: right atrial and right ventricular leads were introduced through the right atrial appendage and the left ventricular lead was inserted transapically. The device was implanted under the less scabby abdominal skin. We successfully applied the combination of transatrial and transapical lead placement, which has not been reported in the literature yet. It serves as an alternative method if the standard approach is not feasible.

Abstract
Background Ectopic deciduosis is a benign presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus during pregnancy that rarely presents with pleuropulmonary manifestations and recurrent pneumothorax.
Case Description We report a 35-year-old woman at 15 weeks' gestation with a history of recurrent intrapartum right pneumothorax found to have pleural, pulmonary, and diaphragmatic lesions and a middle lobe air leak. Wedge resection of the middle lobe and mechanical pleurodesis was performed. Histopathological analysis was progesterone receptor and PAX8 positive consistent with ectopic deciduosis.
Conclusion Ectopic deciduosis is a rare cause of recurrent pneumothorax in pregnancy and should be considered when evaluating these patients.

In this study, we propose a hybrid coded-aperture and Compton camera based on cerium-doped Gd3Al2Ga3O12 (GAGG:Ce) scintillator arrays coupled with Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC) arrays. The sensitive detector of the gamma camera consists of a single GAGG:Ce crystal coupled with a single-chip MPPC unit module. An impedance bridge circuit and a 64-channel data acquisition system were employed to record the code-aperture events and Compton coincidence events. After the calibration of position and energy, the total energy resolution for 662 keV gamma-rays from 137Cs was 6.6%. The hybrid camera had the characteristics of mechanical collimation and electronic collimation at the same time. In the code aperture mode, the reconstructed images were obtained by direct deconvolution and maximum likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM) methods. In the Compton imaging mode, the energy-dependent method was applied to order the sequence of Compton scatter events. The simple back-projection algorithm and list-mode MLEM algorithm were adopted for image reconstruction. Practical performances demonstrated that the angular resolutions in two modes were measured as 5.2° and 11.4°, respectively. In addition, the hybrid camera had a desirable imaging capability in a wide energy range (32 keV–2.6 MeV) and a wide field of view (∼210° in the horizontal direction). As for the sensitivity, the camera had a commercially available sensitivity level of localizing a 137Cs point source, producing ∼0.026 µSv/h in 5 min. Furthermore, the function of distinction for different radiation sources was preliminarily realized.

The Opacity Spectrometer (OpSpec) used in the National Ignition Facility’s opacity experiments measures x-ray spectra from 0.9 to 2.1 keV from the different experimental regions: the backlight source, emission source, and the absorption region with the transmission calculated from these regions. The OpSpec designs have gone through several iterations to help improve the signal-to-noise ratio, remove alternate crystal plane reflections, and improve spectral resolution, which helps to increase the validity of the opacity measurements. However, the source spans well outside the current working spectral range, and higher-order reflections are intrinsic to the crystal, which increases the overall signal seen in the data regions. The recorded data are the convolution of 1st order transmission, higher-order reflections, and the penumbra blurring. This work represents the details for deconvolving the 2nd and 3rd order spectral energy corrections with a penumbral de-blurring to correct the relative measurement of x-ray intensity of different spectral energies and further analysis of datasets relevant to the opacity experiments.
Nanoscale thermometry under ambient conditions via scanning thermal microscopy with 3D scanning differential method
Authors: Sun Lin , Wang Weihua , Jiang Peng , Bao Xinhe 
Published: November 2022

Local temperature measurement with high resolution and accuracy is a key challenge in nowadays science and technologies at nanoscale. Quantitative characterization on temperature with sub-100 nm resolution is of significance for understanding the physical mechanisms of phonon transport and energy dissipation in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and thermoelectric devices. Scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) has been proved to be a versatile method for nanoscale thermometry. In particular, 2D profiling of the temperature field on the order of 10 nm and 10 mK has already been achieved by SThM with modulation techniques in ultrahigh vacuum to exclude the parasitic heat flow between air and the cantilever. However, few attempts have been made to truly realize 2D profiling of temperature quantitatively under ambient conditions, which is more relevant to realistic applications. Here, a 3D scanning differential method is developed to map the 2D temperature field of an operating nanodevice under ambient environment. Our method suppresses the thermal drift and the parasitic heat flow between air and the cantilever by consecutively measuring the temperatures in thermal contact and nonthermal contact scenarios rather than in a double-scan manner. The local 2D temperature field of a self-heating metal line with current crowding by a narrowing channel is mapped quantitatively by a sectional calibration with a statistic null-point method and a pixel-by-pixel correction with iterative calculation. Furthermore, we propose a figure of merit to evaluate the performance of thermocouple probes on temperature field profiling. The development of nanoscale thermometry under ambient environment would facilitate thermal manipulation on nanomaterials and nanodevices under practical conditions.
Novel neutron decay mode inside neutron stars

Abstract
We explore the suggestion that the neutron lifetime puzzle might be resolved by neutrons decaying into dark matter through the process, n → χ
χ
χ, with χ having a mass one-third of the neutron. In particular, we examine the consequences of such a decay mode for the properties of neutron stars. Unlike an earlier suggested decay mode, in order to satisfy the constraints on neutron star mass and tidal deformability, there is no need for a strong repulsive force between the dark matter particles. This study suggests the possibility of having hot dark matter at the core of the neutron star and presents a possible mechanism of dark matter cooling, and examines the possible signal of neutrons decaying in this way inside the neutron star right after its birth.
Kinetic modeling of interfacial abruptness in axial nanowire heterostructures
Authors: Leshchenko E D , Dubrovskii V G 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Kinetic modeling of the formation of axial III–V nanowire heterostructures grown by the Au-catalyzed vapor–liquid–solid method is presented. The method is based on a combination of kinetic growth theory for different binaries at the liquid–solid interface and thermodynamics of ternary liquid and solid alloys. Non-stationary treatment of the compositional change obtained by swapping material fluxes allows us to compute the interfacial abruptness across nanowire heterostructures and leads to the following results. At high enough supersaturation in liquid, there is no segregation of dissimilar binaries in solid even for materials with strong interactions between III and V pairs, such as InGaAs. This leads to the suppression of the miscibility gaps by kinetic factors. Increasing the Au concentration widens the heterointerface at low Au content and narrows it at high Au content in a catalyst droplet. The model fits quite well the data on the compositional profiles across nanowire heterostructures based on both group III and group V interchange. Very sharp heterointerfaces in double of InAs/InP/InAs nanowire heterostructures is explained by a reduced reservoir effect due to low solubility of group V elements in liquid.
Flexibly manipulating the polarization independent plasmon-induced transparency in a graphene and strontium titanate integrated terahertz metasurface
Authors: Zhao Jianxing , Zhou Jianhong 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
We propose a graphene and strontium titanate (STO) integrated terahertz metasurface that can achieve the flexible manipulation of plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) effect. The proposed structure consists of a doped Si substrate, a SiO2 spacer, and a STO film with graphene antennas and Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) nanowhiskers electrodes patterned on it. By separately biasing the graphene antennas, the bright-bright mode coupled PIT effect is achieved. By flexibly configuring the Fermi energy distributions on the graphene antennas, the shape of PIT spectrum is also flexibly manipulated. Moreover, the working frequency band can be shifted by changing the environmental temperature due to the temperature dependent permittivity of the STO film. Our findings are beneficial in designing flexibly manipulated THz devices.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Deng-Fan Potential is well known in describing diatomic molecular energy spectra and electromagnetic transitions. An irregular solution for the Deng-Fan potential is constructed by adapting the differential equation approach to the problem. The Jost function thus obtained is applied to find bound state energies and the scattering phase shifts for nuclear systems. Also phase function method has been applied in parallel with that of Jost function technique for similar investigation. Results show close agreement with the experimental ones. Exploiting the phase parameters the elastic scattering cross sections have been estimated.
Beam splitter as quantum coherence-maker
Authors: Ares Laura , Luis Alfredo 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The aim of this work is to answer the question of how much quantum coherence a beam splitter is able to produce. To this end, we consider as the variables under study both the amount of coherence of the input states as well as the beam splitter characteristics. We conclude that there is an optimal combination of these factors making the gain of coherence maximum. In addition, the two-mode squeezed vacuum arises as the studied state most capable of gaining coherence when passing through a beam splitter. These results are qualitatively equivalent for the l1-norm of coherence and the relative entropy of coherence.
Affinity-based geometric discord and quantum speed limits of its creation and decay
Authors: Muthuganesan R , Balakrishnan S 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In this article, we define a faithful quantifier of bipartite quantum correlation, namely geometric version of quantum discord using affinity based metric. It is shown that the newly-minted measure resolves the local ancilla problem of Hilbert-Schmidt measures. Exploiting the notion of affinity-based discord, we derive Margolus-Levitin (ML) and Mandelstamm-Tamm (MT) bounds for the quantum speed limit time for the creation and decay of quantum correlation. The dynamical study suggests that the affinity measure is a better resource compared to entanglement. Finally, we study the role of quantum correlation on quantum speed limit.
Disforming to conformal symmetry

Published: November 2022

Abstract
We analyse the dynamical properties of disformally transformed theories of gravity. We show that disformal transformation typically introduces novel degrees of freedom, equivalent to the mimetic dark matter, which possesses a Weyl-invariant formulation. We demonstrate that this phenomenon occurs in a wider variety of disformal transformations than previously thought.
