Psychosocial aspects of adult cancer patients: A scoping review of sub‐Saharan Africa
Authors: Onyeka Tonia C. , Onu Justus U. , Agom David A. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractObjectivePsychosocial aspects of adult cancer patients in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) have been described in silos of research articles. Integrative analysis of regional evidence is lacking. This review aimed to describe the scope of existing research on mental health problems, identify research gaps and make informed research, policy and practice recommendations.MethodsSearch was conducted for original peer‐reviewed research articles, irrespective of their quality, on psychosocial aspects of cancer in all SSA countries using PubMed, Google Scholar, Google search, African Index Medicus and direct searches of reference list of pertinent journal articles. Publications in English or translated to English were included. Case reports, dissertations, abstracts, publications without primary focus on psychosocial issues, psychosocial issues in children and studies conducted with SSA populations living outside the sub‐region were excluded. The methodological framework described by Arksey and O’Malley was used to synthesize and present the results. Inductive approach was used to arrive at the thematic areas. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guideline was used to describe the review.ResultsEighty‐three studies conducted across 15 countries were identified. Six thematic areas emerged namely; psychosocial needs, psychiatric disorders, coping strategies, suicidality, psychometrics and psychosocial interventions. Fifteen of 46 countries had at least one study with the majority of articles emanating from Nigeria. Research articles on psychosocial needs, psychiatric morbidities and coping strategies appears adequate for systematic review in SSA region. Despite the overwhelming evidence of high unmet psychosocial needs, a huge gap exists regarding psychosocial interventions.ConclusionFurther research is needed into identified gaps in the region and quality of evidence of these studies need to be improved upon. Comprehensive policies and action plan development are sin qua non for addressing psychosocial problems of adults with cancer in SSA.
Drowning case complicated with a cardiopulmonary arrest and severe ARDS saved with a good neurological outcome by ECMO: A case report
Authors: Cho Songhyon , Furukawa Toshiki , Ogawa Osamu 
Published: October 2022

AbstractCardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) due to drowning has an extremely high mortality rate, and very few cases have good neurological outcomes. Severe respiratory failure can occur even after resuscitation. A 66 year old woman with a history of refractory epilepsy had a CPA due to drowning. Approximately 20 min after drowning, she was resuscitated and transported to the hospital, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was introduced on day two due to continued severe respiratory failure caused by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). After the introduction of ECMO, her respiratory status gradually improved and ECMO was discontinued on day 12. Approximately 6 months after drowning, she visited our hospital for a follow‐up with a cerebral performance category of 1. Since cases of CPA due to drowning with a short drowning time or hypothermia are expected to have good neurological outcomes, the introduction of ECMO should be considered as a treatment for ARDS after resuscitation.

AbstractSpindle cell hemangioma (SCH) is a benign vascular tumour, first identified by Weiss and Enzinger in 1986. Habitually, the SCH affects almost exclusively the dermis and subcutaneous tissues of distal extremities. So far, only 2 cases have been described in the lung. We describe herein the third case of SCH occurring in the lung in a 47 year‐old woman. The patient was successfully treated by right lower lobectomy. The histopathological and immunohistochemistry examination of the excised tumour leads to the definitive diagnosis. Our case is instructive by its different clinical and radiological presentation compared to the previous two cases.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐guided biopsies are an accurate, but technically challenging, method for screening and diagnosis of breast lesions. This study assesses the safety and efficacy of an Image Guided Automated Robot (IGAR) in performing breast biopsies compared to manual procedures.MethodsSafety was determined from adverse events (AEs) and device deficiencies. Efficacy was assessed using targeting accuracy, number of successful biopsies, pain and scar scores, patient discomfort, and radiologist‐determined ease‐of‐use.ResultsAll seven procedures in phase I were successfully and safely completed with no AEs and one device deficiency. The 23 IGAR biopsies in phase II outperformed the 18 manual biopsies in 1‐week pain scores (p = 0.027), scarring at 1‐week (p = 0.035), 1‐month (p = 0.004), and components of comfort and ease‐of‐use. Phase II had seven and three AEs in the IGAR and manual groups, respectively (p = 0.317), with no serious AEs and nine device deficiencies.ConclusionsThe IGAR system is safe and effective for breast biopsy procedures. The results from these trials indicate the IGAR system as a potentially viable alternative to manual breast biopsy procedures.

AbstractLead selenide (PbSe) colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising candidates for optoelectronic applications. To date, PbSe CQDs capped by halide ligands exhibit improved stability and solar cells using these CQDs as active layers have reported a remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 10%. However, PbSe CQDs are more prone to oxidation, requiring delicate control over their processability and compromising their applications. Herein, an efficient strategy that addresses this issue by an in situ cation‐exchange process is reported. This is achieved by a two‐phase ligand exchange process where PbI2 serves as both a passivating ligand and cation‐source inducing transformation of CdSe to PbSe. The defect density and carrier lifetime of PbSe CQD films are improved to 1.05 × 1016 cm−3 and 12.2 ns, whereas the traditional PbSe CQD films possess 1.9 × 1016 cm−3 defect density and 10.2 ns carrier lifetime. These improvements are translated into an enhancement of photovoltaic performance of PbSe solar cells, with a PCE of up to 11.6%, ≈10% higher than the previous record. Notably, the approach enables greatly improved stability and a two‐month stability is successfully demonstrated. This strategy is expected to promote the fast development of PbSe CQD applications in low‐cost and high‐performance optoelectronic devices.

AbstractIt is a major challenge to achieve a high‐performance anode for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) with high specific capacity, high rate capability, and cycling stability. Bismuth sulfide, which features a high theoretical specific capacity, tailorable morphology, and low cost, has been considered as a promising anode for SIBs. Nevertheless, due to a lack of direct atomistic observation, the detailed understanding of fundamental intercalation behavior and Bi2S3's (de)sodiation mechanisms remains unclear. Here, by employing in situ high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy, consecutive electron diffraction coupled with theoretical calculations, it is not only for the first time identified that Bi2S3 exhibits specific ionic transport pathways preferred to diffuse along the (110) direction instead of the (200) plane, but also tracks their real‐time phase transformations (de)sodiation involving multi‐step crystallographic tuning. The finite‐element analysis further disclosed multi‐reaction induced deformation and the relevant stress evolution originating from the combined effect of the mechanical and electrochemical interaction. These discoveries not only deepen the understanding of fundamental science about the microscopic reaction mechanism of metal chalcogenide anodes but also provide important implications for performance optimization.

AbstractThe rapid development of computing devices and automation in various fields drastically increased the growth of data, which promotes the usage of machine learning (ML) techniques to get insights from the generated data. However, data processed by ML algorithms lead to several privacy issues, including leakage of users' biometric data while sharing it through the network to train the object detection model. Therefore, federated learning (FL) was introduced, in which the models are trained locally; only model parameters are shared between central authority (CA) and end nodes. They will eventually maintain a common model for all the participating devices. However, many problems are associated with FL, such as the difference in data consumption rate, training capabilities, geographical challenges, and storage capacity. These problems might lead to differences in the common global model and thus an inefficient FL approach. Moreover, the presence of a CA results in a single point of failure and is vulnerable to various attacks. Motivated by the aforementioned discussion, in this article, we propose a blockchain‐based object detection scheme using FL that eliminates the CA by using distributed InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). Global models can be aggregated periodically when several local model parameters are uploaded on the IPFS. Nodes can fetch the global model from the IPFS. The global aggregated object detection model has been evaluated for various scenarios such as human face detection, animal detection, unsafe content detection, noteworthy vehicle detection, and performance evaluation parameters such as accuracy, precision, recall, and end‐to‐end latency. Compared to traditional models, the proposed model achieved an average accuracy of 92.75% on the object detection scenarios mentioned above.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper aims at investigating the efficiency of strengthening pre‐damaged circular reinforced concrete (RC) columns with Polyparaphenylene Benzobisoxazole fabric‐reinforced cementitious matrix (PBO‐FRCM). The investigated parameters were the degree of pre‐damage (non‐damaged, damaged monotonically up to yielding, or fatigue damaged), the number of PBO‐FRCM layers (0, 2, or 4), and the tie spacing (180 or 90 mm). The experimental results of testing 12 short columns under axial compression showed that PBO‐FRCM systems enhanced the capacity of the non‐damaged columns and successfully restored and further enhanced the capacity of the pre‐damaged columns. Columns strengthened with two and four PBO‐FRCM layers showed a gain in the capacity of up to 40% and 75%, respectively. Furthermore, PBO‐FRCM wrapping enhanced the ductility of both the non‐damaged and the pre‐damaged columns, in which ductility improvement was more noticeable in columns with the larger tie spacing. Finally, the theoretical load‐carrying capacity calculated using ACI 549 provisions showed a good agreement with the experimental capacity of all tested columns.
Recipes as Invitations to Read, Write, and Play in Preschool
Authors: Durán Leah G. , Lopez Rebecca L. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis article describes how preschool‐age children can engage with recipes as a genre for reading, writing, and play. This formative/design study was conducted by a teacher researcher partnership in a linguistically and socioeconomically diverse public early learning center. Through home engagements, the research team identified cooking as a site of everyday literacies in students' homes, and designed a curricular innovation which built on these everyday literacy practices. This curricular innovation included reading, writing, and cooking recipes together, as well as incorporating related materials into the kitchen play area. Students took up these invitations to incorporate literacy into their imaginative play related to cooking. Students also played with the idea of recipes as a genre, adding silly ingredients like pizza into a salad recipe, or inventing a recipe for a race car cake. Finally, for some students, these recipe‐related activities also served to develop conventional literacy skills such as letter formation and name‐writing.

Published: October 2022

AbstractMultimodal analgesia is the foundation of opioid‐sparing analgesia protocols in major surgery, being locoregional anaesthesia their keystone. Its aim is to provide adequate analgesia while minimising opioid requirements, and thus opioid‐related adverse effects. The blossoming of ultrasound‐guided fascial plane blocks offers a new spectrum of safer and simpler alternatives to traditional locoregional anaesthesia techniques. This report describes the anaesthetic management of a dog and a cat that underwent bilateral thoracotomy for treatment of chylothorax. The multimodal analgesia protocol consisted of preoperative methadone, ultrasound‐guided serratus plane and erector spinae plane blocks, and epidural catheter for postoperative analgesia management. The combination of these techniques allowed for a reduction of perioperative opioid requirements, good‐quality recovery and opioid‐free analgesia in the postoperative period.

Published: October 2022

AbstractA 15‐year‐old, 9 g, female Mexican redknee tarantula (Brachypelma hamorii) presented to the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine with a history of anorexia and weight loss. Physical examination revealed an inability to extend the left chelicera, which was suspected to prevent the tarantula from prehending live prey. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed enlargement and T2 hyperintensity of the left chelicera. The patient was provided with supplemental feedings and rehydration until it was found deceased more than 8 months after the initial presentation. A postmortem examination was performed, and histopathology showed an area of chronic inflammation at the level of the left chelicera. Magnetic resonance imaging can be used as an antemortem diagnostic tool to identify lesions in tarantulas.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThis chapter reviews the current knowledge of the marine (including deep-sea species) and freshwater fishes of the Gulf of Guinea oceanic islands. Some biogeographic and conservation considerations are also presented. A total of 1045 species are likely present in the region, including 107 Elasmobranchii (37 confirmed, 65 potential, and 5 erroneous), one confirmed Holocephali, and 937 Actinopteri species (515 confirmed, 385 potential, 32 erroneous, and 5 questionable). Most of the coastal species are shared with the surrounding African continental shelf, while several species are amphi-Atlantic (present in both sides of the Atlantic Ocean), and some species have sister-species in the western Atlantic. A total of 15 species are endemic to the region, and 2 are introduced. Further studies are still needed to better understand the ichthyofauna of the Gulf of Guinea oceanic islands and help policymakers better define conservation and protection plans.
With a Little Help from Friends: Teaching About, with, and Through Social Media
Authors: Chapman Amy L. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis chapter explores why and how students need guidance in using social media and how teacher education and professional development might support teachers in understanding how new and veteran teachers might begin to incorporate social media into their civics teaching. Despite often being perceived as being proficient at using social media, in a study of teachers who used the social media platform Twitter as part of their civics teaching, teachers found that young people needed guidance in how to use social media, both generally and for civic purposes. This chapter also includes a discussion of the aspects of social media that can be manipulative or harmful, often without the awareness of users. This chapter concludes with ways in which students can be supported in learning and using social media for civic purposes.
Education as a Means of Facilitating Onward Migration and Transnational Participation for South Sudanese Refugee Communities
Authors: Patterson Deirdre 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn Kakuma refugee camp in north-west Kenya, education is perceived by its South Sudanese population to be a key tool needed to escape the social and economic marginalisation experienced within the humanitarian aid system as victims of conflict. This chapter explores the ways in which members of the South Sudanese diaspora have utilised transnational social and financial networks to pursue education throughout East Africa and the Global North, thus facilitating cross-generational onward migration practices. With Kakuma at the epicentre of this population, displaced for decades by civil war, family and community transnational networks utilise financial remittances to help the next generation of their families to access education and facilitate onward migration patterns between East African and Western nations. From the perspective of the refugees of this diaspora and their transnational families who support them, this chapter argues that the pursuit of education was perceived to be the solution to their displacement by offering unique opportunities to migrate beyond the refugee camp as well as to invest in their capacity to develop their livelihoods independent of their protracted vulnerable status.
Remittance-Sending Behaviour Along Migration Trajectories: The Case of Senegalese, Ghanaian and Congolese Migrants
Authors: Flikweert Wendy , Bilgili Özge , Caarls Kim 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn this chapter, we examine the remittance-sending behaviour of Ghanaian, Congolese and Senegalese migrants along their migration trajectories to Europe. We aim to understand the extent to which and why sending remittances might differ when the migrants consider themselves to be either en route or settled. We hypothesise that migrants on the move experience legal and economic precariousness and have a lesser capacity and, hence, probability to remit. Moreover, we argue that migrants with close family members and assets in the origin country have higher incentives to remit but are less likely to do so if they are on the move. Overall, we do not find support for the argument that being on the move decreases the probability of sending remittances. Surprisingly, we illustrate that migrants on the move are more likely to be employed and to send remittances compared to settled migrants. We argue that the former may consider their situation to be insecure – despite being employed – and want to keep in closer contact with their country of origin. The chapter highlights the importance of including a(n) (im)mobility perspective when studying remittance-sending and the need for a fuller understanding of how frictions and experiences along more complex migration trajectories affect remittance-sending behaviour.

Abstract
Purpose
Though febrile neutropenia (FN) risk prediction models are important in clinical practice, their external validation is limited. In this study, we validated the Cycle-Specific Risk of FEbrile Neutropenia after ChEmotherapy (CSRFENCE) score for predicting FN.

Methods
We reviewed the medical records of patients with solid malignancies and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma during chemotherapy cycles 2–6 and recorded if patients developed FN, defined as absolute neutrophil counts less than 500 cells/microL with fever more than or equal to 38.2 ℃. The CSRFENCE score was determined by adding the risk factors' coefficients described by the original study; subsequently, the score was used to classify chemotherapy cycles into the following risk groups for developing FN: low, intermediate, high, and very high risk. The discriminatory ability of the score was assessed using area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROCC) and incidence rate ratios (IRR) within each CSRFENCE risk group.

Results
We analyzed 2870 chemotherapy cycles, of which 42 (1.5%) were associated with FN. Among those, 3 (7.1%), 14 (33.3%), 5 (12%), and 20 (47.6%) were classified as low, intermediate, high, and very high risk for developing FN, respectively. The AUROCC was 0.72 (95% CI 0.64–0.81). Compared with the low risk group (n = 666), the IRR of developing FN was 1.01 (95% CI 0.15–43.37), 0.69 (95% CI 0.08–32.46) and 1.17 (95% CI 0.17–49.49) in the intermediate (n = 1431), high (n = 498) and very high (n = 275) risk groups, respectively.

Conclusion
The CSRFENCE model can moderately stratify patients into four risk groups for predicting FN prior to chemotherapy cycles 2–6.
