Published: June 2022

ObjectiveTo summarize the feasibility of computer‐assisted quantification of joint pathologies on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with inflammatory arthritis by evaluating the published data on reliability, validity, and feasibility.MethodsA systematic literature search was performed for original articles published from January 1, 1985, to January 1, 2021. We selected studies in which patients with inflammatory arthritis were enrolled, and arthritis‐related structural damage/synovitis in peripheral joints was assessed on non‐contrast‐enhanced, contrast‐enhanced (CE), or dynamic CE (DCE)‐MRI using (semi)automated methods. Data were pooled using random‐effects model.ResultsTwenty‐eight studies consisting of 1342 MRIs were included (mean age, 54.8 years; 66.7% female; duration of arthritis, 3.6 years). Among clinical/laboratory factors, synovial membrane volume (SV) was moderately correlated with erthrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) level (P < 0.01). Pooled analysis showed an overall excellent intra‐ and inter‐reader reliability for computer‐aided quantification of bone erosion volume (BEV; r = 0.97 [95% CI: 0.92‐0.99], 0.93 [0.87‐0.97]), SV (r = 0.98 [95% CI: 0.90‐0.99], 0.86 [0.78‐0.91]), and DCE‐MRI perfusion parameters (r = 0.96‐0.99). Meta‐regression showed that computer‐aided and manual methods provide comparable reliability (P > 0.05). Computer‐aided measurement of BEV (r = 0.92), SV (r = 0.82), and DCE‐MRI biomarkers (r = 0.72 N‐total; r = 0.74 N‐plateau; r = 0.64 N‐washout) were significantly correlated with the Rheumatoid Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (RAMRIS; P < 0.01), allowing for earlier assessment of drug efficacy. On average, (semi)automated analysis of BEV/SV took 17 minutes (vs. 9 minutes for the RAMRIS) and DCE‐MRI took 4 minutes (vs. 33 minutes for manual assessment).ConclusionComputer‐aided image quantification technologies demonstrate excellent reliability and validity when used to quantify MRI pathologies of peripheral joints in patients with inflammatory arthritis. Computer‐aided evaluation of inflammatory arthritis is an emerging field and should be considered as a viable complement to conventional observer‐based scoring methods for clinical trials application.

AbstractShape morphing materials, especially those fabricated by 4D printing, are gaining much attention due to their versatility of actuation and capability of being programmed in advance. These materials become particularly interesting for biomedical applications where implant materials could be remotely actuated, exerting a force on the surrounding tissues and cells. However, applications in this field have been restricted due to the biocompatibility of the materials and the character of the required stimuli, generally not compatible with physiological environments. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) represent a great opportunity to this end; however, the actuation results in a uniform movement toward the magnet that requires anchoring of the object. Here, for the first time, the application of anisotropic Fe3O4 MNPs is described, and synthesized by a novel and easy route, that can be aligned on pre‐defined patterns within objects printed by digital light processing, resulting in materials that can be actuated remotely (4D printing). These nanoparticles (178 nm × 55 nm), show good biocompatibility when directly seeded on top of human mesenchymal stem cells, despite being uptaken. Most importantly, the alignment of the MNPs can tune the movement of fabricated nanocomposite materials, resulting in complex movements of attraction or repulsion depending on the direction of the applied magnetic field.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThere are many reports in the literatures on the use of phase change materials (PCMs) with photothermal conversion to store and harness solar energy. However, few works have reported intelligent PCMs with thermochromic capabilities that can controllably adjust their photothermal conversion efficiency to change the heating rate through temperature response. In this work, thermochromic phase change materials (TC‐PCMs) are successfully prepared by integrating the reversible thermochromic microcapsules into dynamically cross‐linked PCMs. The designed TC‐PCMs have a high photothermal conversion efficiency by using different styles of reversible thermochromic microcapsules, which can intelligently adjust the surface color of TC‐PCMs according to the substrate temperature under illumination conditions. Based on the fast temperature‐responsive thermochromic function of TC‐PCMs, the intriguing function of the reversible information storage and encryption can be realized by designing the shape and space of TC‐PCMs under the only thermal‐triggered condition. Importantly, the process of information storage and encryption can be controllable and reversible when repeatedly increasing and decreasing the external temperature. Additionally, TC‐PCMs capable of reprocessing ability based on dynamic oxime bond, are beneficial to the preparation of complex shape devices and recycling, expanding the application field of TC‐PCMs.

Published: June 2022

AbstractAn easily fabricated gas sensor based on planar polymer optical waveguides with an integrated zeolite imidazole framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) thin film is presented for carbon dioxide detection and sensing. The planar optical waveguides are made of polymethylmethacrylate and fabricated by hot embossing, which makes it flexible and cost‐efficient. Thin ZIF‐8 films are uniformly grown on the waveguides surface through a simple solution method, which is crucial for the envisioned production of metal organic framework‐based sensing devices on a large scale. Experimental results show that the produced optical elements exhibit a sensitivity of ≈2.5 μW/5 vol% toward carbon dioxide (CO2) with very rapid response time (≈6 s) and excellent reversibility of adsorption and desorption of the gas molecules. The demonstrated planar polymer sensing devices provide the potential to develop flexible on‐chip gas sensors in an inexpensive and reproducible way.
Two‐Step Photoalignment with High Resolution for the Alignment of Blue Phase Liquid Crystal
Authors: Liu Sunqian , Nys Inge , Neyts Kristiaan 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe self‐assembling properties of liquid crystal (LC) are ideal for realizing switchable optical components. The director organization is strongly determined by the alignment at the substrate interfaces and photoalignment is a versatile method based on linearly polarized UV light. In this work, a two‐step photoalignment procedure is proposed to pattern the alignment at the surface. Illumination with uniform polarization or with an interference pattern is combined to obtain stripe patterns or square patterns of photoalignment. It can indeed be confirmed that the nematic director follows the varying azimuthal orientation. By increasing the angle between the two interfering beams, photoalignment with sub‐micrometer resolution is obtained, compatible with the dimensions of blue phase (BP) LC unit cell. Homogeneous domains of BP II with (100) or (110) crystal orientation are obtained and their Kossel patterns are recorded. The two‐step photoalignment technique allows to create patterns with high resolution and to control the orientation of BP LC, which is promising for photonic applications that require single domains.

Published: June 2022

AbstractIn a Dirac semimetal, charges flow between two Weyl nodes when electric and magnetic fields (E||B) are parallel to each other manifesting interesting physical properties such as negative longitudinal magnetoresistance (NLMR), planar Hall effect (PHE). A co‐existence of weak antilocalization (WAL) is observed with large NLMR and an unusual Hall resistance with (B||E) configuration, at the conducting interface of LaVO3 (LVO) and KTaO3 (KTO). The full‐width half maxima of the depth of the conducting channel at the interface is estimated to be around 10 nm by using spectroscopy techniques of photoluminescence and time‐correlated single‐photon counting: suggesting a quasi‐2‐dimensional nature of the conducting electrons. The PHE exhibits oscillatory behavior as a function of the angle between E and B. Very similar temperature dependence of NLMR and PHE suggest a strong correlation among them.
Layered Perovskite Lithium Yttrium Titanate as a Low‐Potential and Ultrahigh‐Rate Anode for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Published: June 2022

AbstractGraphite, as the dominant anode for commercial lithium‐ion batteries, features sluggish electrochemical kinetics and low potential close to lithium deposition, leading to poor rate capability and safety issues. Although titanium‐based oxides have received considerable attention, each alternative demonstrates unsatisfactory trade‐offs between capacity, operating potential, rate capability, and lifespan. Here, submicrometer‐sized lithium yttrium titanate (LYTO) is synthesized through facile sol–gel and ion‐exchange reactions. With an average operating potential of 0.3 V versus Li+/Li, the LYTO anode demonstrates a high specific capacity of 236 mAh g–1 and durable cycling performance of 98% capacity retention after 3000 cycles. Impressively, without additional modification, a high‐rate capability is achieved under a current density range from 0.5 C to 100 C (1 C = 200 mA g–1), e.g., delivering 112 and 87 mAh g–1 at 60 C and 100 C, respectively. Comprehensive characterizations and computational simulations reveal reversible solid‐solution reactions occurring in the LYTO framework with little lattice change and fast 2D Li+ mobility achieved due to a low diffusion energy barrier. After incorporation with a LiFePO4 cathode, the energy density of the as‐fabricated full cell reaches 2.4 times that of Li4Ti5O12/LiFePO4 full cell. The double characteristics of LYTO provide a fresh identification for high‐performance anodes.

Published: June 2022

AbstractNoonan syndrome (NS) is caused by pathogenic variants in genes involved in the RAS/MAPK pathway. On the other hand, 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11.2DS) is caused by heterozygous microdeletion on chromosome 22q11.2. The clinical characteristics of both syndromes are expected to be relatively distinct, and, in fact, there is only one report of these syndromes occurring together, but on daily clinical practice and especially in early childhood phenotypes may overlap. In this study, we describe a patient with NS and 22q11.2DS features harboring a heterozygous 2.54 Mb deletion of chromosome 22q11.2 and a variant in LZTR1, c.1531G > A p.(Val511Met). In 1993, Wilson et al reported a patient with both 22q11.2DS and NS, proposing that probably more than one gene is deleted in the proband and that one of the deleted genes is responsible for Noonan's phenotype. In our patient, one of the deleted genes within the 22q11.2 region was the LZTR1 gene which was associated with NS in 2015. This case also highlights the importance of the long‐term patients' follow‐up to detect evolutionary changes that may appear in the phenotype and alerts clinicians of the co‐occurrence of two syndromes that may manifest over time.

Published: June 2022

AbstractAlloy‐type anodes are one of the most promising classes of next‐generation anode materials due to their ultrahigh theoretical capacity (2–10 times that of graphite). However, current alloy‐type anodes have several limitations: huge volume expansion, high tendency to fracture and disintegrate, an unstable solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, and low Coulombic efficiency. Efforts to overcome these challenges are ongoing. This Review details recent progress in the research of batteries based on alloy‐type anodes and discusses the direction of their future development. We conclude that improvements in structural design, the introduction of a protective interface, and the selection of suitable electrolytes are the most effective ways to improve the performance of alloy‐type anodes. Furthermore, future studies should direct more attention toward analyzing their synergistic promoting effect.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBiobased flame retardant (FR) has attracted great interest owing to its green and degradable properties similar to polylactic acid (PLA). In this work, with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) as the core, chitosan (CS) and halloysite (HNT) as the shell, a biobased FR (APP@CS@HNT) with a core‐shell structure was prepared through the self‐assembly method. The flame retardancy of PLA composites has been improved with the addition of the FR (APP@CS@HNT). With the loading of 17 wt% APP@CS@HNT, the PLA composite shows a high limiting oxygen index value (29.4%) and achieves vertical burning (UL‐94) test V0 rating. Compared with pure PLA, the cone calorimetry test indicates that the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release decrease from 299.88 to 152.29 kW/m2 and from 102.0 to 71.2 MJ/m2, respectively. The addition of APP@CS@HNT can also improve the smoke suppression performance of PLA composites. Such enhanced flame retardancy is mainly attributed to APP@CS@HNT prompting the PLA matrix to produce more continuous and denser carbon layers at a lower temperature to form physical barriers.

Published: June 2022

AbstractPyrochlore phosphors have shown their worth in modern day lighting in the last few years. Colour tunability of the phosphor is one of the modern techniques used to obtain white light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs). In the proposed work, Y2Zr2O7:Sm3+,Eu3+ phosphors were investigated for WLED applications as well as display devices. A convectional solid‐state diffusion method was used to synthesize the proposed phosphors. X‐ray diffraction of the proposed phosphors was performed and compared with the standard Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. The crystal structure of the sample was cubic in nature, obtained from Rietveld refinement. Vibrational and morphological studies on the samples were carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The photoluminescence study of the colour tunable phosphor showed the characteristic peak of Sm3+ together with the two sharp peaks of Eu3+ ions. Greenish yellow to red colour tunability was observed in the proposed phosphor with enhancement of Eu3+ ions. All these results showed the worth of this sample for WLEDs applications as well as in display devices.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundAlthough trastuzumab and anthracyclines are frequently used to treat breast cancer (BC) and gastric cancer (GC), cardiotoxicity is a serious concern. The cardiac function assessment is recommended at baseline before initiating treatment. However, the prevalence rates of baseline cardiac checkups are unknown.MethodsThe national database of hospital‐based cancer registries linked to the health services‐utilization data was used to study patients with newly diagnosed stage IV BC and GC (n = 6271) who received trastuzumab (n = 4324, 69.0%) or anthracyclines between January 2012 and December 2015. The baseline ultrasound echocardiogram (UCG) performance rate and factors related to adequate UCG performance for all patients and those receiving trastuzumab were analyzed.ResultsThe adequate baseline UCG checkup rate was higher in patients treated with trastuzumab than in those treated with anthracyclines (71.8% vs 44.1%, respectively). Additionally, patients with GC were less likely to receive an adequate baseline UCG performance than those with BC (70.4% vs 75.0%, respectively). After adjusting for potential confounders, patients with anthracycline‐treated BC and GC were less likely to receive adequate baseline UCG performance than those with trastuzumab‐treated BC (odds ratio [OR]: 0.24, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.20–0.28, and OR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.03–0.16, respectively). Furthermore, patients with trastuzumab‐treated GC were less likely to receive adequate baseline UCG performance than those with BC (OR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.50–0.84).ConclusionsThe baseline UCG was less likely to be performed in patients receiving anthracyclines than in those receiving trastuzumab, as well as in patients with GC than in those with BC.
Growing leaders from below: Identity‐based worker education and identity‐leader ability among self‐employed women in India

Published: June 2022

AbstractInformal and unregulated work is the norm rather than the exception in emerging economies. This study was conducted in India where nine out of 10 women are occupied in informal, unregulated work, and are vulnerable to low‐wages, exploitation, and interconnected cultural and social‐economic injustices. The Self‐Employed Women's Association (SEWA) and their education wing the Indian Academy of Self‐Employed Women encourage their members to self‐define as “self‐employed workers” and facilitate identity‐based worker education and leadership training. Drawing on insights from the Social Identity Approach to Learning and the New Psychology of Leadership this cross‐sectional study (N = 300) explored if this shared social identity significantly predicted participants perceived identity‐leadership ability. We further explored if this relationship was partially explained by SEWA norms, values, and beliefs, developed during learning, and measured as “awareness of gendered inequality”, “injustice consciousness”, and “collective efficacy”. A parallel mediation analysis found a direct relationship between “self‐employed women identity” and “identity‐leader ability” and indirect relationships through “awareness of gendered inequality” and “collective efficacy”. No indirect path was evident through “injustice consciousness”. The theoretical and practical implications of an identity‐based approach to worker education and leader training among vulnerable workers, are discussed.

Published: June 2022

AbstractPhotoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of WO3 photoanodes for water splitting is heavily influenced by the orientation of crystal facets. In this work, mono‐particle‐layer electrodes, assembled by particulate WO3 square plates with highly uniform alignment along the (002) facet, improved PEC water oxidation kinetics and stability. Photo‐deposition of Au along the cracks formed on the surface of the plates, which are the edges of {110} facets, was found to further enhance electron collection efficiency. Combination of these two strategies allowed the facet‐engineered WO3 electrode to produce significantly higher efficiencies in charge separation and transfer than the electrode prepared without facet orientation. This work has provided a facile route for fabricating a structurally designed WO3 photoelectrode, which is also applicable to other regularly shaped semiconductor photocatalysts with anisotropic charge migration.
PROTOCOL: Causal mechanisms linking education with fertility, HIV, and child mortality: A systematic review
Authors: Zahra Fatima , Haberland Nicole , Psaki Stephanie 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIn this review, we will investigate the pathways linking education and health to understand why education appears to improve health in some settings or among certain populations, and not in others, as well as to inform recommendations about how best to target investments in education to maximize the benefits to health. We will seek to answer the following key research questions, focusing specifically on the mechanisms that affect fertility, HIV, and infant and child mortality. If feasible, these answers will include meta‐analyses of comparable education and mediator outcomes: (1) Do changes in education affect the primary theorized mediators (e.g., knowledge, attitudes, resources, and agency; health behaviors and harmful practices) of the relationship between education and fertility, HIV and child mortality? (2) How does the relationship between these mediators and education vary across different aspects of education (e.g., grade attainment vs. literacy/numeracy vs. attendance)?
