Abstract

Objectives
We assessed the inter-method bias of total (tPSA) and free (fPSA) prostate-specific antigen (PSA) immunoassays to establish if tPSA-based risk thresholds for advanced prostate cancer (PCa), obtained from one method (Roche) can be converted into the corresponding concentrations assayed by other methods. Then we evaluated the impact of the bias of tPSA and fPSA on the estimation of the %f/tPSA ratio and performed a re-calibration of the proposed thresholds for the %f/tPSA ratio according to the assay used.

Methods
tPSA and fPSA were measured in 135 and 137 serum samples, respectively by Abbott Alinity i, Beckman Access Dxl, Roche Cobas e801, and Siemens Atellica IM analytical platforms. Scatterplots, Bland-Altman diagrams, Passing-Bablok (PB) were used to inspect and estimate the systematic and proportional bias between the methods. The linear equations with confidence intervals of the parameter estimates were used to transform the tPSA risk thresholds for advanced PCa into the corresponding concentrations measurable by the other analytical methods. To construct a correction coefficient for converting the %f/tPSA ratio from one method to the other, PB and non-parametric boostrapping were used.

Results
The inter-method bias is not constant but strictly linear allowing the conversion of PSA results obtained from Roche into the other assays, which underestimate tPSA vs. Roche. Siemens and Abbott vs. Roche and Beckman assays, being characterized by a positive and a negative proportional bias for tPSA and fPSA measurements, tend to overestimate the %f/tPSA ratio.

Conclusions
There is a consistent risk to miss advanced PCa, if appropriate conversion factors are not applied.
Multiple inflated negative binomial regression for correlated multivariate count data

Published: November 2022

Abstract
This article aims to provide a method of regression for multivariate multiple inflated count responses assuming the responses follow a negative binomial distribution. Negative binomial regression models are common in the literature for modeling univariate and multivariate count data. However, two problems commonly arise in modeling such data: choice of the multivariate form of the underlying distribution and modeling the zero-inflated structure of the data. Copula functions have become a popular solution to the former problem because they can model the response variables’ dependence structure. The latter problem is often solved by modeling an assumed latent variable

. We propose a multivariate multiple-inflated negative binomial regression model for modeling such cases. Furthermore, we present an iterative procedure for estimating model parameters using maximum likelihood estimation. The multivariate distribution functions considering the dependence structure of the response vectors are found using copula methods. The proposed method is illustrated using simulated data and applied to real data.

Abstract
The natural streamflow of the River is encouraged to forecast through multiple methods. The impartiality of this study is the comparison of the forecast accuracy rates of the time-series (TS) hybrid model with the conventional model. The behavior of the natural monthly statistical chaotic streamflow to use in the forecasting models has been compiled by projecting two distinguished rivers, the Indus and Chenab of Pakistan. Therefore, this article is based on the monthly streamflow forecast analysis that has been reported using the group method of data handling with wavelet decomposition (WGMDH) as a new forecasting attribute. Discrete wavelets decompose the perceived data into sub-series and forecast hydrological variables; these fittingly have been endorsed as inputs in the hybrid model. The forecast efficiency and estimations of the hybrid model are measured by the appropriate statistical techniques such as mean absolute error (RME), root mean square error (RMSE), and correlation coefficients (R) and compared to the group method of data handling (GMDH), least-square support vector machine and artificial neural network conventional models. The comparative analysis shows that the hybrid WGMDH model is more stable and more potent for forecasting river flow than other predictive models and significantly proved that the hybrid model is a robust alternate forecasting tool for TS data sets.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the aerial roots of Ficus sur, a Cameroonian medicinal plant, resulted in a previously undescribed cerebroside, suroside (1), in addition to its aglycon congener suramide (2). Moreover, six known natural products including alpinumisoflavone (3), wighteone metabolite (4), oleanolic acid (5), β-sitosterol (6), β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), and epi-ѱ-taraxastanolone (8) were identified. The structures of the previously undescribed compounds were determined by analysis of 1D and 2D-NMR (One and two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance), mass spectrometry, chemical conversion, and by comparison of these data with those from the literature. Wighteone metabolite (4) exhibited a weak cytotoxic activity against the human HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells with an IC50 value of 51.9 µM.

In brief
Mealtime changes in pregnant mice revealed impaired neurobehavioral development in mouse offspring. This study is the basis for investigating diseases associated with neurobehavioral development of adult offspring of pregnant shift-working women.

Abstract
Most organisms on Earth have a biological clock, and their physiological processes are regulated by a 1-day cycle. In modern society, several factors can disturb these biological clocks in humans; in particular, individuals working in shifts are exposed to stark environmental changes that interfere with their biological clock. They have a high risk of various diseases. However, there are scarce experimental approaches to address the reproductive and health consequences of shift work in the offspring of exposed individuals. In this study, considering the fact that shift workers usually have their meals during their adjusted working time, we aimed to examine the effects of a 12-h shift with usual mealtime as a plausible night work model on the neurobehavioral development of adult mouse offspring. In these offspring, early exposure to this mealtime shift differentially affected circadian rhythmic variables and total locomotor activity depending on the timing and duration of restrictive feeding. Moreover, neurobehavioral alterations such as declined short-term memory and depressive-like behavior were observed in adulthood. These results have implications for the health concerns of shift-working women and their children.
From Nowhere to Somewhere

In August 2020, two colleagues and I began an ongoing conversation on music, consent, power, language/jargon, accessibility, and inclusivity. We are not music therapists, but each of us, from our own professional and personal perspectives, is interested in the therapeutic nature of music. One colleague is a community musician in Glasgow, Scotland. She works for Good Vibrations and the Resonate Project which facilitate inclusive musical workshops and experiences. The other colleague is an amateur musician, participant advisor for one of her music groups, and a representative of people with additional support needs. I am an ethnomusicologist who specializes in Javanese and Balinese gamelan outside of Indonesia particularly as they pertain to community music making. We met through playing gamelan and through the Resonate workshops. Our conversations were a doorway for each of us into community music, musical academia, and the musical life of a woman with special needs. In our conversations, the question of accessibility as it is tied to language and power arose several times. In April 2021, we offered an edited video presentation of our conversations at the 2021 Mid- Atlantic Chapter of the Society of Ethnomusicology (MACSEM) virtual conference. In fall 2021, we hosted an event in collaboration with Good Vibrations at which we used our MACSEM video to facilitate an open conversation among academics, community musicians, music therapists, people with additional support needs, and members of the general public. One goal of this work is to provide unheard voices a place to speak. Our submission to Voices is a video reflection on our experiences beginning with our three-person, off-the-cuff conversations that originated over a year ago. Through this video, we will (literally) share our voices with your readership as we discuss our experiences of language, power, and whose voices are heard. We also reflect back on previous conversations by including our collaborative editing of the video itself. During our overall discussions, we came up with the title, “From nowhere to somewhere: Creating to Join a conversation.” This really helped focus our shared idea of what this is all about: three people from different life experiences and opportunities finding ways of speaking together and creating a format to have a voice in this arena.

A Heideggerian Reading of Knut Hamsun’s “Growth of the Soil”
Authors: Kruszelnicki Michał 
Published: November 2022

The article proposes a reading of Knut Hamsun’s Nobel Prize winning novel Growth of the Soil that will simultaneously follow the interpretive inspirations provided for it by the philosophical thought of Martin Heidegger. The “eco-critical” reading of Hamsun with Heidegger is encouraged by some intriguing similarities to be found between Heidegger’s and Hamsun’s perspectives of seeing the world and the relations human beings enter with it. It is argued that both Heidegger and Hamsun hoped for an existence that would be sensitive to the significance of the everydayness (both to the things created by man, and those brought forth by nature), but also open to receiving the world as a mysterious and extraordinary gift which exceeds human comprehension. I believe Hamsun’s famous novel provides the reader with a fine model of a “poetic dwelling” – the paramount idea late Heidegger was trying to illuminate.

Background:Adjacent segment disease (ASD) following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with plating (ACDF-P) may yield a poor prognosis or reoperation. This review aimed to summarize risk factors for radiographic ASD (RASD) and clinical ASD (CASD) after ACDF-P.Methods:Six electronic databases were searched from inception to October 30, 2021. Four reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full-text articles to identify relevant studies. Methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated. Meta-analyses for risk factors were conducted, if possible.Results:Sixteen cohort and 3 case-control studies (3,563 participants) were included. These studies showed low (n = 2), moderate (n = 9), and high (n = 8) risk of bias. One risk factor for RASD was pooled for 2 meta-analyses based on the follow-up period. Four different risk factors for CASD at ≥4 years were pooled for meta-analyses. Limited evidence showed that multi-level fusion, greater asymmetry in total or functional cross-sectional area of the cervical paraspinal muscle, and preoperative degeneration in a greater number of segments were associated with a higher RASD incidence <4 years after ACDF-P. In contrast, no significant risk factors were identified for CASD <4 years after ACDF-P. At ≥4 years after ACDF-P, limited evidence supported that both cephalad and caudal plate-to-disc distances of <5 mm were associated with a higher RASD incidence, and very limited evidence supported that developmental canal stenosis, preoperative RASD, unfused C5-C6 or C6-C7 adjacent segments, use of autogenous bone graft, and spondylosis-related ACDF-P were associated with a higher CASD incidence.Conclusions:Although several risk factors for RASD and CASD development after ACDF-P were identified, the supporting evidence was very limited to limited. Future prospective studies should extend the existing knowledge by more robustly identifying risk factors for RASD and CASD after ACDF-P to inform clinical practice.Level of Evidence:PrognosticLevel IV.

Published: November 2022

Se presenta la lista de los mamíferos del departamento de Sucre, basada en la revisión de especímenes depositados en colecciones biológicas, registros novedosos y disponibles en la literatura científica y observaciones de los autores. Encontramos 143 especies, que representan el 26.3 % de los mamíferos registrados en Colombia. Cinco especies son endémicas de Colombia: Cebus versicolor, Pattonomys semivillosus, Proechimys chrysaeolus, Saguinus oedipus y Sylvilagus sanctaemartae; cinco han sido categorizadas como Datos Insuficientes, y 13 y 17 se encuentran en alguna categoría de amenaza a nivel nacional y global, respectivamente. Se registra por primera vez para Colombia el murciélago Ametrida centurio, con base en una fotografía tomada en el municipio de Santiago de Tolú. Registramos mayor riqueza de especies al norte del departamento, en las subregiones Golfo Morrosquillo y Montes de María, probablemente producto del mayor esfuerzo de recolección. Es necesario incrementar los esfuerzos locales, debido a la insuficiente o nula exploración en algunas áreas del departamento.
Flörkeite, (K3Ca2Na)[Al8Si8O32]·12H2O: A Rare Zeolite from Pyrometamorphic Rocks of the Hatrurim Complex, Israel

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Flörkeite, a rare zeolite with PHI (phillipsite) framework type, was found in numerous amygdaloidal voids in pyrometamorphic rocks of the Hatrurim Basin, Hatrurim Complex, Israel. This is the second reported occurrence of flörkeite previously found in a Ca-rich xenolith from a quarry at the Bellerberg volcano near Ettringen, East Eifel volcanic area, Germany. The mineral with the empirical crystal chemical formula (K2.91Ca2.00Na0.91)[Al7.96Si8.04O31.94]·12H2O (P-1, no. 2, a=19.9366 2, b=14.2517 1, c=8.89350 10 Å, α=88.2480 1, β=125.0960 10, γ=89.6350 10, V=2019.19 4 Å3, and R=3.41%) did not show significant differences with respect to that of the type locality. The Raman spectrum of flörkeite is here reported for the first time. No significant differences are noticed compared to phillipsite-K. The main band ~470 cm-1, characteristic of the PHI-type structures, is independent on framework order and Si/Al ratio. The zeolite mineralization of amygdules in pyrometamorphic rocks results from meteoric water circulations in Al-rich rocks during their cooling. The crystallization sequence of zeolite corresponds to the Ca/(K+Na) ratio decrease. Flörkeite formed at the end of a low-temperature crystallization sequence, indicating the predominant role of potassium in crystallization. The occurrence of flörkeite in different pyrometamorphic rocks implies the relatively uniform, regional mineral-forming conditions, and open hydrologic system of zeolitization. In pyrometamorphic rocks of the Hatrurim Basin, the process of zeolitization is characterized by low silica activity and high pH conditions.
Systematic and integrated analysis of tRNA-derived small RNAs reveals novel potential pathogenesis targets of sarcoidosis

Abstract
The pathogenesis of sarcoidosis, which involves several systems, is unclear, and its pathological type is non-caseating epithelioid granulomas. tRNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA) is a novel class of short non-coding RNAs with potential regulatory functions. However, whether tsRNA contributes to sarcoidosis pathogenesis remains unclear. Deep sequencing technology was used to identify alterations in tsRNA expression profiles between patients with sarcoidosis and healthy controls. A total of 360 tsRNAs were identified for exact matches. Among them, the expression of three tRNAs (tiRNA-Glu-TTC-001, tiRNA-Lys-CTT-003, and tRF-Ser-TGA-007) was markedly regulated in sarcoidosis and validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The expression of various tsRNAs was significantly correlated with age, the number of affected systems, and calcium levels in the blood. Additionally, target prediction and bioinformatics analyses revealed that these tsRNAs may play roles in chemokine, cAMP, cGMP-PKG, retrograde endorphin, and FoxO signalling pathways. The Cytoscape software was used for visual analysis to obtain 10 hub genes of each target tsRNA. Among the hub genes, APP, PRKACB, ARRB2, and NR5A1 finding may participate in the occurrence and development of sarcoidosis through immune inflammation. This study provides novel insights to explore tsRNA as a novel and efficacious pathogenic target of sarcoidosis.
