AbstractIn this study, the new methodologies of the ISO 22000:2018 and HACCP systems were fully implemented in an organization from the pre‐prepared postpartum meal industry. One of the organization's dishes was chosen as an example dish. The Critical Control Points (CCPs) were identified as the acceptance of raw materials, cooking, and reheating steps in the preparation process. The impacts before and after applying these food safety systems to the end product were evaluated. The results indicated that the monthly average aerobic plate count and coliforms levels in the dish samples tested in 2018 and 2019 (before and after the implementation of the systems) had gradually decreased. The Chinese herbal medicinal materials were subjected to rapid testing and a periodic rotation scheme with enhanced intensity of monitoring. We found that the presence of aflatoxin residues in the Chinese herbal medicinal materials reflected the importance and necessity of rapid testing and third‐party testing in small‐ and medium‐sized food and beverage establishments. Meanwhile, following the full implementation of the systems, the quality and safety of the organization's dishes had gradually improved, and the number of customer complaints had decreased. The customers also increased their positive feedbacks and recommendations, so as to provide more opportunities for the organization. We expect that the methodologies, principles, and models used by the organization in this study could be applied on its other dishes as well as on other similar small‐ and medium‐sized food and beverage establishments in the industry, so as to elevate their image and boost sales.

AbstractAmongst the fungi that cause damage to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and are disseminated by seeds,Colletotrichum lindemuthianumstands out. This fungus causes anthracnose in common bean plants. The use of natural compounds, for example essential oils (EO), is a viable and safer option than chemicals to manage this disease. According to the results of the in vitro assay, we observed complete inhibition of the growth ofC. lindemuthianumwith the use ofCinnamomum cassiaEO and its major component (E)‐cinnamaldehyde, presenting MIC of 125 µg/ml, whilst the commercial fungicide presented MIC of 30.6 µg/ml. In addition in vivo assay, where seeds naturally infected withC. lindemuthianumwere treated with the EO and the substance in a solution with commercial soybean oil, we observed reducing the incidence of anthracnose over the days evaluated, as well as for the commercial fungicide used (thiophanate‐methyl). In addition, the treatments did not affect germination and initial seed vigour. This is the first study to demonstrate the efficacy ofCi. cassiaessential oil and (E)‐cinnamaldehyde on the control ofC. lindemuthianumthrough the treatment of common bean seeds.
Rural depopulation and the rural‐urban gap in cognitive functioning among older adults
Authors: Glauber Rebecca 
Published: March 2022

AbstractPurposeAs the population ages, the number of people with cognitive impairment will rapidly increase. Although previous research has explored the rural‐urban gap in physical health, few studies have analyzed cognitive health. The purpose of this study was to examine rural‐urban differences in cognitive health, with a focus on the moderating effect of population decline.MethodsThe study used individual‐level nationally representative data from the 2000‐2016 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (N = 152,444) merged to county‐level contextual characteristics. Hierarchical linear models were used to predict the cognitive functioning of US adults aged 50 and over by rural‐urban residence, county depopulation, and their interactions while controlling for individual‐level and county‐level demographic and contextual factors.FindingsOlder adults living in rural counties had lower cognitive functioning than urban adults. The interaction between living in a rural and depopulated county was statistically significant (P < .001). The rural penalty in cognitive functioning was 40% larger for those who lived in counties that lost population between 1980 and 2010 compared to those who lived in stable or growing rural counties. These results were independent of race‐ethnicity, gender, age, education, income, region, employment status, marital status, physical health, and depression as well as the county's racial‐ethnic composition, age structure, economic and educational disadvantage, and health care shortages.ConclusionsThe results have important implications for those seeking to reduce health disparities both between rural and urban older adults and among different groups of rural people. Interventions targeting those living in rural depopulating areas are particularly warranted.
New genus of Cupressaceae from the Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia (Argentina) fills a gap in the evolution of the ovuliferous complex in the family

Published: March 2022

AbstractThe conifer family Cupressaceae encompasses seven subfamilies. Five of them were once considered to constitute the family Taxodiaceae, later eliminated because of its paraphyletic nature but remaining as an informal category for early‐diverging Cupressaceae lineages. Among the taxodiaceous subfamilies, Athrotaxoideae shows a unique morphology in its ovuliferous complexes (OCs) and a phylogenetically unexplored fossil record. We describe the new genus and species Patagotaxodia lefipanensis, based on OC adpressions associated with leafy branches collected at the Maastrichtian section of the Lefipán Formation (Patagonia, Argentina), and we refer it to Athrotaxoideae. We include Patagotaxodia in total evidence phylogenetic analysis to test its affinity, and we recover it within the subfamilies Athrotaxoideae or Cunninghamioideae. However, we argue that the characters supporting the athrotaxoid affinity are more meaningful in a taxodiaceous systematic context. This placement is also supported by taxon inclusion‐exclusion experiments. We discuss the position of other Cretaceous athrotaxoid records. With basis on the morphological insights provided by the OC morphology of extant and extinct Athrotaxoideae, we study the evolution of the OC morphology in the family in a phylogenetic context and discuss the results in the light of the fossil record of the family. We discuss how and when the different morphologies appeared in the family. Based on phylogenetic, temporal, morphological, and ontogenetic evidence, we conclude that the OC morphology shown by the subfamily Athrotaxoideae is intermediate between two of the most common morphologies within extant and extinct Cupressaceae species, one of which would show adaptative advantages over basal morphologies.

Published: March 2022

AbstractBuffering of Local anaesthesia (LA) has been suggested as a mechanism to improve injection comfort and hasten the onset of anaesthesia.AimThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of buffered LA in the extraction of maxillary premolars and molars.Materials and MethodsThis randomized controlled study included 100 patients who were indicated for extraction of maxillary posterior teeth, they were randomly divided into two groups; a study group that received infiltration of buffered 2% lidocaine hydrochloride with 1:80,000 epinephrine LA, and a control group that received non‐buffered 2% lidocaine hydrochloride with 1:80,000 epinephrine LA. The buffering was performed using the Onset® LA buffering system (Onpharma®). The outcome variables included the pain during injection buccally and palatally assessed by pain Numerical rating scale, the onset of anaesthesia, the volume of local anaesthesia used, and the patient satisfaction for the whole procedure.ResultsThere were statistically significant differences in pain during injection buccally and palatally in favour of the study group (p < 0.0001) with a large effect size for the palatal injection and moderate effect size for the buccal injection. The onset of anaesthesia on the buccal and palatal sides was significantly faster in the study group (p values 0.02 and 0.01, respectively). There was a non‐significant difference between the groups with respect to the volume of anaesthesia (p = 0.07). The patients in the study group reported a significantly higher satisfaction score (p < 0.0001).ConclusionsBuffered LA significantly reduced the onset of action of anaesthesia and pain during injection, especially on the palatal side, and resulted in better satisfaction with the extraction procedure.

AbstractBackgroundClinical rejection (CR) defined as decision to treat clinically suspected rejection with change in immunotherapy based on clinical presentation with or without diagnostic biopsy findings is an important part of care in heart transplantation. We sought to assess the utility of donor fraction cell‐free DNA (DF cfDNA) in CR and the utility of serial DF cfDNA in CR patients in predicting outcomes of clinical interest.MethodsPatients with heart transplantation were enrolled in two sequential, multi‐center, prospective observational studies. Blood samples were collected for surveillance or clinical events. Clinicians were blinded to the results of DF cfDNA.ResultsA total of 835 samples from 269 subjects (57% pediatric) were included for this analysis, including 28 samples associated with CR were analyzed. Median DF cfDNA was 0.43 (IQR 0.15, 1.36)% for CR and 0.10 (IQR 0.07, 0.16)% for healthy controls (p < .0001). At cutoff value of 0.13%, the area under curve (AUC) was 0.82, sensitivity of 0.86, specificity of 0.67, and negative predictive value of 0.99. There was serial decline in DF cfDNA post‐therapy, however, those with cardiovascular events (cardiac arrest, need for mechanical support or death) showed significantly higher levels of DF cfDNA on Day 0 (2.11 vs 0.31%) and Day 14 (0.51 vs 0.22%) compared to those who did not have such an event (p < .0001).ConclusionDF cfDNA has excellent agreement with clinical rejection and, importantly, serial measurement of DF cfDNA predict clinically significant outcomes post treatment for rejection in these patients.

AbstractTo select potential plant‐based insecticides, Tecoma stans (Bignoniaceae) leaf extract was screened for its larvicidal and delayed effects against a medically important mosquito species Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae). First, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was conducted on T. stans extract, collected in ethanol for its chemical characterization and detection of active constituents. Second, insecticidal bioassays were made with several concentrations on earlier fourth instar larvae (L4) of Cx. pipiens for 24 h as recommended by WHO, in order to determine the lethality parameters of the tested extract. For that, two concentrations (LC30 and LC50) were applied on L4 for 24 h, and emerged adults were observed for their reproductive performance success like fecundity, percentage of hatching (fertility), body and gonads' volume. The biochemical composition of whole bodies of adults was investigated. Also, the specific activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathion S‐transferase (GST), biomarkers of neurotoxicity and detoxification, respectively, were also determined in L4 at different time intervals. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis (GC–MS) of the extract unveiled nine phytoconstituents with 2‐[4‐cyclohexylbutanoylamino]‐3‐chloro‐1,4‐naphthoquinone (36.24%) and 1,2‐Benzenedicarboxylic acid, mono(2‐ethylhexyl) ester (22.65%) as major components. The early L4 of Cx. pipiens were exposed to LC30 and LC50, and after 24 h, surviving individuals have been further reared until adult emergence. All over, T. stans leaves ethanolic extract impairs adults reproductive traits; it adversely affected gonad's size, fecundity and fertility, which negatively affected the survival of their offspring. Lipids contents were found to increase in both male and female adults. T. stans ethanolic extract increased GST activity and slightly inhibited AChE activity in L4. In conclusion, the ethanolic extract of T. stans could be a potential candidate used as a sustainable botanical insecticide for controlling mosquito.
The need for data management standards in public health nursing: A narrative review and case study
Authors: Modly Lori A. , Smith Daniel J. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractBackgroundData management is the key to the success of all projects and research. The ability to safely store, manipulate, and decipher data in real time is invaluable. Currently data management standards in public health are non‐existent. Since the invention of computers real‐time data retrieval and analysis has been possible but underutilized by researchers in the field. Historically, most small research studies and field‐based projects have utilized spreadsheets for data management, which often proves problematic as the project grows. However, a viable and superior alternative exists in relational databases, such as REDCap. Relational databases allow for easier concatenation of multiple legacy datasets, facilitate data entry with surveys that incorporate branching logic, and allow for real time data entry in the field without the need for WIFI.MethodsOne example of a public health project being transitioned from spreadsheet data management to a relational database is the Farmworker Family Health Program based out of the Lillian Carter Center for Global Health & Social Responsibility at Emory University's Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. The data management transition from spreadsheets to REDCap has provided the team with unique insight into the data that has been collected in the 30 years the program has been running.ConclusionThrough this case study, we identify the need for and recommend that those in public health nursing utilize relational databases when collecting data during research studies or as electronic medical records for field clinics.

AbstractBackgroundRapid and reliable health data on SARS‐CoV‐2 infection among pregnant individuals are needed to understand the influence of the virus on maternal health and child development, yet the validity of self‐reported COVID‐19 testing and diagnosis remains unknown.ObjectivesWe assessed the validity of self‐reported COVID‐19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and diagnosis during delivery among postpartum respondents as well as how diagnostic accuracy varied by respondent characteristics.MethodsWe validated receipt of a COVID‐19 PCR test and test results by comparing self‐reported results obtained through an electronic survey to electronic medical record data (gold standard) among a cross‐sectional sample of postpartum respondents who delivered at four New York City hospitals between March 2020 and January 2021. To assess validity, we calculated each indicator's sensitivity, specificity and the area under the receiver‐operating curve (AUC). We examined respondent characteristics (age, race/ethnicity, education level, health insurance, nativity, pre‐pregnancy obesity and birth characteristics) as predictors of reporting accuracy using modified Poisson regression.ResultsA total of 276 respondents had matched electronic record and survey data. The majority, 83.7% of respondents received a SARS‐CoV‐2 PCR test during their delivery stay. Of these, 12.1% had detected SARS‐CoV‐2. Among those tested, sensitivity (90.5%) and specificity (96.5%) were high for SARS‐CoV‐2 detection. The adjusted risk ratio (aRR) of accurate result reporting was somewhat lower among Hispanic women relative to white non‐Hispanic women (aRR 0.90, 95% CI 0.90, 1.00) and among those who had public or no insurance vs. private (aRR 0.91, 95% CI 0.82, 1.01), controlling for recall time.Conclusion(s)High recall accuracy result reporting for COVID‐19 PCR tests administered during labour and delivery suggest the potential for population‐based surveys as a rapid mechanism to obtain accurate data on COVID‐19 diagnostic history. Additional psychometric research is warranted to ensure accurate recall across respondent subgroups.
The Power of a Tweet? Social Media, Presidential Communication, and the Politics of Health
Authors: Haeder Simon F. , Chattopadhyay Jacqueline 
Published: March 2022

AbstractSocial media holds the potential to transform presidential communication and leadership. We test whether presidential tweets affect public opinions about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as well as partisan reputations for handling health policy using a survey‐based experiment. We find that negative tweets about the ACA from President Trump reduced favorability toward the ACA among Republicans and increased the partisan gap. Support was particularly reduced among Republicans with low levels of racial resentment, with a corresponding opposite effect among Democrats with high levels of racial resentment. We found only limited effects on opinions about party handling of health policy more generally.

AbstractThe flavour of aquatic animal products is distinct from terrestrial foods, facilitating a competitive marketing advantage. However, the flavour of aquatic animals can also be highly variable. Importantly, differences are reported in the flavour of animals from aquaculture and wild‐capture systems. These differences can erode consumer acceptance of aquaculture products and reduce financial returns to producers. Mild ‘fish‐like’, ‘marine’, ‘crustacean‐like’, ‘seafood’ and ‘sweet’ odours are desirable. However, overt ‘fish‐like’, ‘fatty’ and ‘earthy’ odours are quality deficits and cause products to become unpalatable. Odorous volatile compounds are responsible for eliciting these characteristic odours. In this literature review, the odorous volatile compounds of 96 aquatic animal samples are reported, revealing 291 different compounds. Generalist compounds that are integral to the odour of aquatic animals are presented in addition to 86 compounds that elicit key characteristic odours. The influence of these compounds on aquatic animal flavour is explored and the specific factors likely to affect their manipulation in aquaculture products are discussed. The culture environment and diet are critical factors affecting volatile profiles of aquatic animals and are the variables that can be controlled by aquaculture producers. The information presented in this review can underpin the development of innovative aquaculture strategies that prevent environmental exposure of aquatic animals to unpalatable volatile compounds and facilitate the development of aquaculture diets that optimise the volatile profile of edible tissues.

AbstractThe shrimp farming industry is receiving increasing attention globally. However, extending the frontiers of the industry has been a challenge as high stocking density often increases susceptibility to diseases and compromises shrimp quality. There has been a huge adoption of bacterial‐derived additives in recent decades, particularly in Asia. Accumulating evidence demonstrates the modulatory effect of these functional additives on the animal gut microbiota composition, thus making them potential alternatives to antibiotics in controlling infectious diseases, such as acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND). These functional additives could be introduced in various forms, such as probiotics, synbiotics, paraprobiotics, and postbiotics. This article aims to critically review previous studies that investigated the effects of these bacterial derivatives, particularly on shrimp species. The surge of research in recent years indirectly attested to the immense potentialities of these functional additives. Generally, the introduction of bacterial derivatives not only helped in disease control but also demonstrated encouraging outcomes, including better survival rate, immune enhancement, and growth promotion effects. It is interesting to note that the effectiveness of probiotics extended beyond the viability of the bacteria, thus leading to concepts such as paraprobiotics and postbiotics. Although this is a relatively new research area with limited information, this review aims to consolidate available data and provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of this research arena. The challenges in each research domain were also discussed towards the end of this review to provide insights into potential future research niches.
