Context:
Glycemic variability plays a major role in the development as well as the progression of cardiovascular disease in diabetes.

Aims:
We compared the mean plasma glucose and glycemic variability (GV) parameters on and off hemodialysis (HD) in patients with End-Stage Diabetic Nephropathy (ESDN) and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Settings and Design:
Cross-sectional study.

Methods and Material:
We included 23 ESDN and 6 ESRD patients who underwent continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) (iPro2) for 6 days and a glucose-free dialysate for 4 hours thrice weekly. EasyGV software was used to calculate the variability parameters {mean glucose, Time in range (TIR), Time above and below range (TAR/TBR), CV (Coefficient of Variation) and MAGE}.

Statistical Analysis Used:
The quantitative data variables were expressed by using mean and SD. Unpaired t-test was used to compare the two groups. P value <0.05 was considered significant.

Results:
In the ESDN group, TIR was significantly lower whereas TAR and TBR were significantly higher on HD day. MAGE (101.88 ± 40.5 v/s 89.46 ± 30.0, P < 0.007) and CV (29.41% v/s 21.67%) were higher on HD day. Subjects with pre-HD glucose values ≥180 mg/dl (Group B, n = 24) had a rapid drop with a delayed higher rise in glucose values than those with pre-HD glucose values <180 mg/dl (Group A, n = 27). Ten patients had 13 episodes of hypoglycemia. The CGM parameters were not different in the ESRD group.

Conclusions:
Targeting a pre- HD glucose value <180 mg/dl could be a good strategy to prevent larger fluctuation during and post HD.

Published: November 2022

Context:
Adult studies have shown the association of subclinical hypothyroid (SCH) with various cardiovascular dysfunction, which indicates SCH may be a potentially modifiable risk factor of CV disease and mortality. However, there is still controversy about the association of cardiovascular dysfunction in children with SCH. Epicardial fat thickness (EFT) is a reliable and sensitive marker of cardiovascular risk and has become an emerging modality to predict CV risks.

Aims:
To measure the EFT in children with subclinical hypothyroidism and compare with healthy children. To find its correlation with subclinical atherosclerosis. To compare EFT between TPO positive and TPO negative subclinical hypothyroid patients.

Materials and Methods:
Children of subclinical hypothyroidism (TSH >5 mIU/ml with normal FT3, FT4, and age and sex matched control were included as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clinical data was collected from all study subjects. Thyroid function tests including FT3, FT4 and TSH, TPO antibody, fasting insulin, hsCRP, Lp(a), USG neck for carotid intima media thickness (CIMT), USG brachial artery for flow mediated dilation (FMD) and echocardiography for epicardial fat thickness (EFT) were done in all patients.

Results:
A total 42 number of SCH and 50 age and sex matched controls were recruited and screened for various parameters of subclinical atherosclerosis. EFT was significantly higher in the cases than in the controls (6.27 mm vs 4.54 mm) with P value < 0.001. Brachial FMD was significantly lower in cases than the cohort (4.5% vs 8.93%, P < 0.001). Difference in CIMT was not significant amongst the cases and controls. EFT failed to correlate with the level of TSH though it had significant positive correlation with hsCRP. The patients who were TPO positive, had higher fasting insulin, HOMAIR, hsCRP, Lp(a) than those who were TPO negative.

Conclusion:
Results of this study show the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis in children with SCH regardless of the aetiologies. The patients of Hashimoto thyroiditis had significantly high insulin resistance and inflammation than the SCH patients of other aetiologies.

Published: November 2022

Introduction:
Diabetes adversely affects sexual health with its negative consequences on well-being in both males and females. Literature is scanty regarding female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in diabetic women, furthermore reported literature is lacking regarding the differential impact on different domains of sexual health, especially in Indian females. In the present analysis, we aim to study the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions in diabetic women as well as different domains affected by diabetes.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was carried out at a tertiary care teaching centre in North India over a duration of 6 months (January 2021 to June 2021). A total of 100 married females were enrolled including 50 diabetics and 50 healthy non-diabetic females. All the participants were subjected to a validated female sexual function index (FSFI) questionnaire for sexual function assessment.

Results:
FSD was seen in 35 diabetic females (70%) with desire being the most affected domain (92%) in comparison to 15 healthy subjects (30%) with an overall mean FSFI of 23.5 in diabetics and 29.2 in the control group. Mean FSFI in diabetic females with sexual dysfunction was 21.04 ± 9. All domains of FSFI were affected significantly (P value < 0.05) in the diabetic group in comparison to the control group except for the satisfaction domain. There was no significant association of different domains of FSFI seen with the duration of diabetes and other comorbidities. A significant association of arousal and pain domain was seen with the glycaemic (HbA1C) index (P value-0.006 and 0.031, respectively).

Conclusion:
Females with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a higher prevalence of sexual dysfunction affecting all domains. Glycosylated haemoglobin is associated independently with arousal and pain domains of FSFI as well as desire being the most affected domain, although further randomized studies with larger sample sizes are needed to authenticate our findings. To improve the quality of life of diabetic females, clinicians should focus on this aspect also while treating diabetes.

Authors: Bono Géraldine L. P. , Achermann Prisca , Rückriem Bärbel , Lieber Jan , van Hedel Hubertus J. A. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Importance: Children with hemiparesis experience limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) as a result of upper limb impairments. To address these limitations, we developed a group-based Personalized Upper Limb Intensive Therapy (PULIT) program combining modified constraint-induced movement therapy, bimanual intensive therapy, and exergame-based robotics.
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of PULIT in helping children with upper limb impairments achieve individually set goals and enable transfer of the attained motor skills into ADLs.
Design: Retrospective analysis.
Setting: Day camp at a pediatric rehabilitation clinic in Switzerland.
Participants: Twenty-three children with upper limb impairment (unilateral cerebral palsy, n = 16; acquired brain injury, n = 7); 13 boys and 10 girls (M age = 7 yr, 8 mo, SD = 2 yr, 1 mo; Manual Ability Classification System Level I–IV).
Intervention: Thirty hours of PULIT over the course of 8 days.
Outcomes and Measures: Goal attainment scaling (GAS) was assessed on the first and last day of intervention. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and dexterity tests, such as the Box and Block Test (BBT), were administered 3 wk before and 3 wk after the intervention.
Results: Total goal achievement was 85.7%. GAS, parent- and child-rated COPM Performance and Satisfaction, and the BBT of the affected and dominant upper limb improved significantly.
Conclusions and Relevance: PULIT effectively increases children’s dexterity of the impaired and dominant upper limb, improves ADL performance, and achieves individual goals. This retrospective analysis could serve as a basis for a future randomized trial.
What This Article Adds: This article informs occupational therapy practitioners about a therapy program that includes conventional and rehabilitation technology interventions and enables children with hemiparesis of the upper limb to improve relevant ADL tasks in 8 days’ time.
Abordaje clínico de la estimulación facial en implantes cocleares
Authors: Rosanigo Gabriel , Del Vecchio Verónica , Ausili Sebastian 
Published: November 2022

El implante coclear es actualmente uno de los dispositivos de rehabilitación neurosensoriales más exitosos. El mismo brinda la posibilidad de escuchar en personas con hipoacusias severas a profundas que obtienen limitado acceso a los sonidos con amplificación acústica. Sin embargo, existen complicaciones luego de su implantación, entre las cuales se encuentra la estimulación indeseada del nervio facial. Entre los principales detrimentos que produce la estimulación del nervio facial se encuentran los movimientos involuntarios de cara o cuello, molestia o dolor al usar el implante, entre otros. En algunos casos esto sucede sólo en algunos contactos, pero también puede presentarse en la mayoría o incluso todos los canales de estimulación.
El actual abordaje clínico de este problema recurre principalmente a diferentes cambios en la programación del dispositivo. Los recursos para reducirlo abarcan desde cambios en el tipo y modo de la estimulación eléctrica, hasta considerar la reimplantación en casos complejos. El presente artículo describe el problema de la estimulación facial y sus posibles causas, como así también detalla las soluciones clínicas que existen en la actualidad. Por último, se discuten nuevos abordajes y potenciales líneas de investigación.
La narration iconotextuelle au service de l’activité de création. Dispositif didactique et démarche sémiotique pour rendre l’élève cré-acteur·rice de ses apprentissages.
Authors: Lebreton Maud , Attanasio Rachel 
Published: November 2022

Cette recherche a été menée dans trois classes du cycle 1 dans le canton de Vaud en Suisse. Basée sur le processus créatif de Wallas (2003) et les facteurs identifiés de la créativité (Lubart, 2003), elle propose d'inscrire la posture de créateur·rice dans une perspective sémiotique sociale en employant la narration multimodale de l’album comme objet médiateur. Support pédagogique de choix, notamment en raison de la richesse de l'offre, la dimension affective des images et de la narration, l'album est un objet composite dont la complexité sémiotique contraint à un processus de fabrication de sens métaphorique qualifié de hautement créatif (Kress, 2010). Comme la motivation du fabricant de signes dépend de ses intérêts (Kress, 2010), la participation à une trame narrative qui doit trouver son dénouement place l'élève en position de cré-acteur·rice de son apprentissage. Le média multimodal sert ici de matériau de (re)conceptualisation dans lequel la transmédiation (Suhor, 1984, cité dans Sullivan, 2017) est mise au service de la posture de créateur·rice. L'objet produit peut alors prendre un rôle actif dans la construction de sens (Bowker & Star, 2000), faisant du processus une pratique transformatrice (Conne, 2008) pour l'apprenant·e. Renvoyant à la sémiotique sociale, l'apprentissage est ici envisagé avant tout comme un processus de création de sens située (Budach, 2018 ; Mottier Lopez, 2016) dans une perspective anthropologique de l’éducation (Ingold, 2018).

Abstract. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS)
provides near-real-time forecast and reanalysis of aerosols using the ECMWF
Integrated Forecasting System with atmospheric composition extension,
constrained by the assimilation of MODIS and the Polar Multi-Sensor Aerosol
Optical Properties (PMAp) aerosol optical depth (AOD). The objective of this
work is to evaluate two new near-real-time AOD products to prepare for their
assimilation into CAMS, namely the Copernicus AOD (collection 1) from the Sea
and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) on board Sentinel 3-A/B
over ocean and the NOAA EPS AOD (v2.r1) from VIIRS on board S-NPP and
NOAA20 over both land and ocean. The differences between MODIS (C6.1), PMAp
(v2.1), VIIRS (v2.r1), and SLSTR (C1) AOD as well as their departure from the
modeled AOD were assessed at the model grid resolution (i.e., level-3)
using the 3-month AOD average (December 2019–February 2020 and March–May 2020). VIIRS and MODIS show the best consistency across the products, which is
explained by instrument and retrieval algorithm similarities. VIIRS AOD is
frequently lower over the ocean background and higher over biomass burning
and dust source land regions compared to MODIS. VIIRS shows larger spatial
coverage over land and resolves finer spatial structures such as the
transport of Australian biomass burning smoke over the Pacific, which can be
explained by the use of a heavy aerosol detection test in the retrieval
algorithm. Our results confirm the positive offset over ocean (i) between
Terra/MODIS and Aqua/MODIS due to the non-corrected radiometric calibration
degradation of Terra/MODIS in the Dark Target algorithm and (ii) between
SNPP/VIIRS and NOAA20/VIIRS due to the positive bias in the solar reflective
bands of SNPP/VIIRS. SLSTR AOD shows much smaller level-3 values than the
rest of the products, which is mainly related to differences in spatial
representativity at the IFS grid spatial resolution due to the stringent
cloud filtering applied to the SLSTR radiances. Finally, the geometry
characteristics of the instrument, which drive the range of scattering
angles sampled by the instrument, can explain a large part of the
differences between retrievals such as the positive offset between PMAp datasets from MetOp-B and MetOp-A.
Radio frequency interference detection and mitigation in the DWD C-band weather radar network
Authors: Schaper Maximilian , Frech Michael , Michaelis David , Hald Cornelius , Rohrdantz Benjamin 
Published: November 2022

Abstract. C-band weather radar data are commonly compromised by interference from external sources even though weather radars are the primary and therefore
privileged user of this frequency band. This is also the case for the radar network of the German Meteorological Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD). Theoretically, dynamic frequency selection (DFS) by devices operating in the C band should prevent any disturbance of the primary user. In practice, this does not always work as intended under the current regulations. As it is not possible to separate a superimposed interference signal from measured weather radar data, the protection of the frequency band is of utmost importance. Currently, the only available option is to discard the compromised portions of the radar data. Therefore, the current best course of action is to shut down radio frequency interference (RFI) sources as quickly as possible. The automated RFI detection algorithm for the German C-band weather radar network, operational since July 2017, makes use of
routinely measured radar moments. Built upon data gathered since 2017, an RFI classification with respect to the severity and duration of RFI sources was first implemented in 2019. An independent verification of the RFI detection algorithm was performed by using a commercially available Wi-Fi adapter, which is directly integrated into the radar receiver. Subsequently, a mitigation workflow was implemented to efficiently identify and shut down detected RFI sources by the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur, BNetzA). By following this workflow with great effort, the number of persistent RFI sources has been decreasing since October 2019, while a steady increase in short-lived RFI sources over the last 5 years also exists. In total, 11 889 RFI sources have been identified from July 2017 to May 2022. Most of these (94.8 %) are such short-lived sources that an
unambiguous identification by the BNetzA is, in general, not feasible. However, as stated by the C-band regulations, any non-compliant transmitter compromising the operation of a weather radar has to be shut down. This is important, as even these short-lived RFI sources negatively affect meteorological product generation.
Tin weathering experiment set by nature for 300 years: natural crystals of the anthropogenic mineral hydroromarchite from Creussen, Bavaria, Germany
Authors: Dubrovinskaia Natalia , Messingschlager Maria , Dubrovinsky Leonid 
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Hydroromarchite is a mineral that so far has been found only in a
few locations in the world and recognized as a common product of submarine
corrosion of pewter artefacts. Here we report a new locality for this rare
mineral found at the Saint James Church archaeological site in Creussen,
Germany. There it appeared to be a product of weathering of a tin artefact
(a tin button) buried in soil of the churchyard for about 300 years. The
mineral, found in paragenesis with romarchite and cassiterite, was
identified using single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
A local particle filter and its Gaussian mixture extension implemented with minor modifications to the LETKF
Authors: Kotsuki Shunji , Miyoshi Takemasa , Kondo Keiichi , Potthast Roland 
Published: November 2022

Abstract. A particle filter (PF) is an ensemble data assimilation
method that does not assume Gaussian error distributions. Recent studies
proposed local PFs (LPFs), which use localization, as in the ensemble Kalman
filter, to apply the PF efficiently for high-dimensional dynamics. Among
others, Penny and Miyoshi (2016) developed an LPF in the form of the ensemble
transform matrix of the local ensemble transform Kalman filter (LETKF). The
LETKF has been widely accepted for various geophysical systems, including
numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Therefore, implementing the LPF
consistently with an existing LETKF code is useful. This study develops a software platform for the LPF and its Gaussian mixture
extension (LPFGM) by making slight modifications to the LETKF code with a
simplified global climate model known as Simplified Parameterizations,
Primitive Equation Dynamics (SPEEDY). A series of idealized twin experiments
were accomplished under the ideal-model assumption. With large inflation by
the relaxation to prior spread, the LPF showed stable filter performance
with dense observations but became unstable with sparse observations. The
LPFGM showed a more accurate and stable performance than the LPF with both
dense and sparse observations. In addition to the relaxation parameter,
regulating the resampling frequency and the amplitude of Gaussian kernels
was important for the LPFGM. With a spatially inhomogeneous observing
network, the LPFGM was superior to the LETKF in sparsely observed regions,
where the background ensemble spread and non-Gaussianity were larger. The
SPEEDY-based LETKF, LPF, and LPFGM systems are available as open-source
software on GitHub (https://github.com/skotsuki/speedy-lpf, last access: 16 November 2022) and
can be adapted to various models relatively easily, as in the case of the LETKF.
