AbstractWildlife capture, and the data collection associated with it, has led to major advancements in ecology that are integral to decision making pertaining to wildlife conservation. Capturing wildlife, however, can cause lethal and non‐lethal risks to animals. Understanding the factors that contribute to the level of risk involved in wildlife capture is therefore important for the development and implementation of the safest and most effective methodologies. We used data from 736 animal captures of 389 individuals for 2 subspecies of female bighorn sheep (Rocky Mountain bighorn [Ovis canadensis canadensis], Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep [O. c. sierrae]) in Wyoming and California, USA, in 2002–2020 to evaluate the degree and extent of time that capture via helicopter net‐gunning affects survival. We compared pre‐ and post‐capture survival during a 10‐week window centered on a capture event, and post‐capture survival between captured animals and animals that were monitored but not captured during the 10‐week window. Additionally, we evaluated the effects of handling techniques (number of times captured, season of capture event, handling time, chase time, and body temp) and biological factors (age and nutritional condition) on probability of capture mortality. Mean daily survival was 0.9992 during a 5‐week pre‐capture window, dropped to 0.9864 on the day of capture, and rebounded within 3 days of capture to pre‐capture levels and that of sheep that were not captured. Overall, direct mortality resulting from capture was 1.36%, with 0.54% mortality occurring within the 3 days following a capture event for an overall 1.90% capture‐related mortality. The only handling and biological metrics that influenced the probability of capture mortality were rectal temperature and nutritional condition; high initial rectal temperatures and poor body condition were associated with increased risk of mortality in the days following capture. Overall, helicopter net‐gunning imposed low and short‐term risk to survival of female bighorn sheep. To reduce bias in survival estimates, we recommend using a 3‐day censorship window for post‐capture mortalities as opposed to the common practice of a 2–5‐week censor window. Helicopter net‐gunning, including annual or seasonal recaptures, remains an effective and comparatively safe technique for capture and associated data collection of bighorn sheep.
Non‐author entities accountable for retractions: A diachronic and cross‐disciplinary exploration of reasons for retraction
Authors: Xu Shaoxiong (Brian) , Hu Guangwei 
Published: January 2022

AbstractRetraction notices are expected to be transparent about entities accountable for retractions and their reasons for retraction. No previous research on retraction notices has investigated accountable entities other than authors of retracted publications and their reasons for retraction from a cross‐disciplinary and a diachronic perspective. Drawing on a dataset of 7650 unique retraction notices published before 2020 and indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, this study identified 457 retraction notices that held four types of non‐author entities accountable. Journal authorities (i.e., editors and publishers) were found responsible for retractions in 62.14% of the retraction notices, followed by unidentifiable entities (26.91%), third parties (6.13%), and dual entities (i.e., both authors and journal authorities, 4.81%). The three most frequent reasons for retraction were republication of valid publications (36.76%), unspecified reasons (26.91%), and publication of unpublishable work (17.07%). Accountable non‐author entities were more identifiable in the retraction notices published between 2010 and 2019 than in those published before 2010. Retraction notices in soft disciplines were more likely than those in hard disciplines to identify journal authorities as accountable entities. These findings offer implications for handling retractions more effectively and efficiently.
Impact of shallow‐water hydrothermal seepage on benthic biogeochemical cycling, nutrient availability, and meiobenthic communities in a tropical coral reef

Published: January 2022

AbstractWe investigated the influence of high‐CO2 hydrothermal seepage on element cycling, early diagenetic processes, and meiobenthic communities in sediments of a coral reef in Papua New Guinea. Based on fluid flow velocities, determined from temperature gradients, and element concentrations, the solute fluxes from the seeps were estimated, showing that seepage through sediments can be a source of nutrients but also of potentially toxic elements to the reef ecosystem. The sediment pore waters consisted of up to 36% hydrothermal fluids, enriched in As, Si, Li, Mn, Fe, Rb, and Cs relative to ambient seawater. During their ascent to the seabed, the acidic fluids reacted with the sediments, leading to increases in total alkalinity, nutrients, and alkali elements in the fluids. Mixing of hydrothermal fluids with seawater within the sediments lead to precipitation of redox‐reactive species, including Fe‐oxides, but the sediment pore waters were still a source of trace metals to the water column. Presence of the low‐pH fluids in the sediments resulted in dissolution of sedimentary carbonates and left behind finer‐grained volcanoclastic sands containing As, Cr, and Ni in concentrations toxic to biota. These finer‐grained sediments had a reduced permeability, reducing the rate of remineralization of organic matter. Benthic meiofauna and nematode abundance and functional diversity were relatively lower at sites with hydrothermal seepage through the sediment. As benthic and pelagic processes are tightly coupled, it is likely that the changes in benthic biogeochemical processes due to sediment acidification will also affect epibenthic and pelagic communities.

ABSTRACTThe MDS Video Challenge continues to be the one of most widely attended sessions at the International Congress. Although the primary focus of this event is the presentation of complex and challenging cases through videos, a number of cases over the years have also presented an unusual or important neuroimaging finding related to the case. We reviewed the previous Video Challenge cases and present here a selection of those cases which incorporated such imaging findings. We have compiled these “imaging pearls” into two anthologies. The first focuses on pearls where the underlying diagnosis was a genetic condition. This second anthology focuses on imaging pearls in cases where the underlying condition was acquired. For each case we present brief clinical details along with neuroimaging findings, the characteristic imaging findings of that disorder and, finally, the differential diagnosis for the imaging findings seen.
“Our Own Foods as a Healing”: The Role of Health in the Native American Food Sovereignty Movement
Authors: Hoover Elizabeth 
Published: January 2022

AbstractA wealth of literature has emerged over the past two decades exploring the need for food sovereignty activism to relocalize food production power, promote economic justice, and support more environmentally friendly means of producing food and getting it on the table. What has been less explored is the role of health in the desire to promote food sovereignty. First laying out the history of colonization on Native North American food systems, and then tracing the disease patterns that have emerged from this history, this essay ultimately explores how notions of health motivate and drive Native chefs and farmers who describe themselves as working toward food sovereignty for their communities. Drawing on interviews with members of Native American community‐based farming, gardening, and seed‐saving projects, Native chefs, as well as participation in food sovereignty summits, conferences, and cooking events, this essay illustrates the ways in which actors in the Native American food sovereignty movement are revitalizing, reclaiming, restoring, and perpetuating traditional food systems to promote good physical, cultural, and spiritual health.

Isolated evaluation of multiparametric in vivo chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI often requires complex computational processing for both correction of B0 and B1 inhomogeneity and contrast generation. For that, sufficiently densely sampled Z‐spectra need to be acquired. The list of acquired frequency offsets largely determines the total CEST acquisition time, while potentially representing redundant information. In this work, a linear projection‐based multiparametric CEST evaluation method is introduced that offers fast B0 and B1 inhomogeneity correction, contrast generation and feature selection for CEST data, enabling reduction of the overall measurement time. To that end, CEST data acquired at 7 T in six healthy subjects and in one brain tumor patient were conventionally evaluated by interpolation‐based inhomogeneity correction and Lorentzian curve fitting. Linear regression was used to obtain coefficient vectors that directly map uncorrected data to corrected Lorentzian target parameters. L1‐regularization was applied to find subsets of the originally acquired CEST measurements that still allow for such a linear projection mapping. The linear projection method allows fast and interpretable mapping from acquired raw data to contrast parameters of interest, generalizing from healthy subject training data to unseen healthy test data and to the tumor patient dataset. The L1‐regularization method shows that a fraction of the acquired CEST measurements is sufficient to preserve tissue contrasts, offering up to a 2.8‐fold reduction of scan time. Similar observations as for the 7‐T data can be made for data from a clinical 3‐T scanner. Being a fast and interpretable computation step, the proposed method is complementary to neural networks that have recently been employed for similar purposes. The scan time acceleration offered by the L1‐regularization (“CEST‐LASSO”) constitutes a step towards better applicability of multiparametric CEST protocols in a clinical context.
A stabilized cell‐based smoothed finite element method against severe mesh distortion in non‐Newtonian fluid–structure interaction
Authors: He Tao 
Published: January 2022

AbstractFailure is an inevitability for the finite element method (FEM) to be performed on seriously degenerated four‐node quadrilateral (Q4) elements whose Jacobians become negative. This article proposes a stabilized selective integration formulation of the cell‐based smoothed FEM (CSFEM) for modeling non‐Newtonian fluid–structure interaction (NNFSI) where that acute mesh distortion arises. The Carreau–Yasuda and Oldroyd‐B fluids, respectively, interact with a geometrically nonlinear solid in NNFSI. The CSFEM is applied to discretize both the fluid and solid media in space. As the fluid mesh accounts for a substantial part of the discretized NNFSI system, seriously distorted Q4 elements are specified exclusively for the fluid field. In this case, each convex Q4 element is subdivided into four smoothing cells (SCs) whereas its concave counterpart is regarded as one single SC. In the meantime, the solid elements are treated as usual. To stabilize the one‐SC integral in smoothed Galerkin weak form, an hourglass control is subsequently introduced into the fluid momentum equations as well as the viscoelastic constitutive equation. The transient non‐Newtonian fluid equations are advanced with dual time steps of the characteristic‐based split scheme in time to further enhance the numerical stability and accuracy. After discussing other aspects of computational NNFSI, two benchmark problems are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the developed methodology under the harsh environment.
A fast local nonlinear solution technique based on the partitioned finite element and interface element method

Published: January 2022

AbstractIn this study, a fast partitioned solution method that considers contact nonlinearity and local material nonlinearity based on the partitioned finite element and interface element method is proposed. Combined with the local failure characteristics of hydraulic structures such as arch dams, the stiffness matrices of the linear and nonlinear regions of the structure are decomposed to reduce the size of the overall stiffness matrix. Furthermore, in the nonlinear iteration, only the stiffness matrix of the nonlinear partition is modified, thereby reducing the calculation amount of the overall solution and improving the solution efficiency. The results show that our proposed method exhibits improved solution speed and stability while achieving the same solution accuracy.
Dendritic core derived unimolecular micelles with poly(lactic acid) arms: Synthesis and application as a phase transfer agent
Authors: Shikha  , Jacob Josemon 
Published: January 2022

AbstractUnimolecular micelles refer to amphiphilic hyperbranched molecules, which exhibit micellar characteristics in a single molecule. In the present study, starting with pentaerythritol, three new dendrimers D1, D2, and D3 were synthesized in good yields bearing 9, 12, and 18 peripheral hydroxyl groups, respectively, using alkyne‐azide Husigen 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The structural integrity and purity of the dendrimers were confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and FE‐SEM studies established their near‐spherical morphology. Using D2 as a macroinitiator, hyperbranched 12‐arm star polymers were synthesized via ring‐opening polymerization of l‐lactide. The star polymer is found to be an efficient sequestering agent for water‐soluble dyes like congo red, bromophenol blue, and methyl orange from aqueous phase due to its amphiphilic nature demonstrating the application of unimolecular micelles in dye removal from aqueous waste.

Published: January 2022

AbstractGPNMB (glycoprotein nonmetastatic B) and other TFE3/TFEB transcriptional targets have been proposed as markers for microphthalmia (MiT) translocation renal cell carcinomas (tRCCs). We recently demonstrated that constitutive mTORC1 activation via TSC1/2 loss leads to increased activity of TFE3/TFEB, suggesting that the pathogenesis and molecular markers for tRCCs and TSC1/2‐associated tumors may be overlapping. We examined GPNMB expression in human kidney and angiomyolipoma (AML) cell lines with TSC2 and/or TFE3/TFEB loss produced using CRISPR–Cas9 genome editing as well as in a mouse model of Tsc2 inactivation‐driven renal tumorigenesis. Using an automated immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay for GPNMB, digital image analysis was employed to quantitatively score expression in clear cell RCC (ccRCC, n = 87), papillary RCC (papRCC, n = 53), chromophobe RCC (chRCC, n = 34), oncocytoma (n = 4), TFE3‐ or TFEB‐driven tRCC (n = 56), eosinophilic solid and cystic RCC (ESC, n = 6), eosinophilic vacuolated tumor (EVT, n = 4), and low‐grade oncocytic tumor (LOT, n = 3), as well as AML (n = 29) and perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas, n = 8). In cell lines, GPNMB was upregulated following TSC2 loss in a MiT/TFE‐ and mTORC1‐dependent fashion. Renal tumors in Tsc2+/− A/J mice showed upregulation of GPNMB compared with normal kidney. Mean GPNMB expression was significantly higher in tRCC than in ccRCC (p < 0.0001), papRCC (p < 0.0001), and chRCC (p < 0.0001). GPNMB expression in TSC1/2/MTOR alteration‐associated renal tumors (including ESC, LOT, AML, and PEComa) was comparable to that in tRCC. The immunophenotype of tRCC and TSC1/2/MTOR alteration‐associated renal tumors is highly overlapping, likely due to the increased activity of TFE3/TFEB in both, revealing an important caveat regarding the use of TFE3/TFEB‐transcriptional targets as diagnostic markers. © 2022 The Authors.

Adolescent e‐cigarette or vaping product use‐associated lung injury: A case series and review of the literature
Authors: Singh Alvin 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundAdolescent e‐cigarette or vaping product use‐associated lung injury (EVALI) has increased in prevalence, and while cases describing various pulmonary manifestations have been reported, reports on the presentations and outcomes in teenage patients are sparse.MethodsWe retrospectively describe eight EVALI patients with different presentations, laboratory and imaging findings, treatment, and concomitant diagnoses. We review the literature and describe how our analysis adds to the literature.FindingsEight males, aged 15−18 years of age presented with various symptoms. Four patients were Caucasian while four were of Hispanic origin. All patients presented with respiratory symptoms; six also had GI symptoms; five were hypoxemic; all but one patient admitted to using products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). All patients had changes on imaging with ground‐glass opacities. One patient underwent lung biopsy and bronchoscopy showing eosinophilic pneumonia. All patients received antimicrobial therapies without improvement until systemic steroids were administered. Six patients underwent pulmonary function testing, and five required medications for newly diagnosed persistent asthma. One patient developed pulmonary hypertension, which resolved after treatment. One patient required noninvasive ventilation. No patients were positive for SARS‐CoV2. Two had coinfections with other microbes. Five patients required escalation of asthma therapies at follow‐up with pulmonology.ConclusionThis analysis of eight adolescent males hospitalized for EVALI highlights the unpredictable spectrum of disease presentation and management. These patients can be misdiagnosed without proper screening and may have residual respiratory complications necessitating outpatient management by a pulmonologist.

AbstractChildren with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at increased risk for severe illness due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). We describe the successful native lung recovery of a child with SCD referred for lung transplant (LTx) evaluation who was on prolonged veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV‐ECMO). He initially presented with acute chest syndrome complicated by SARS‐CoV‐2 infection that ultimately required dual‐lumen, single bicaval VV‐ECMO cannulation for respiratory support. Despite the increased risk of hemolysis and thrombosis from SCD and SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, he was successfully supported on VV‐ECMO for 71 days without complications leading to native lung recovery with meticulous management of his SCD therapy. This report provides new insight on our approach to VV‐ECMO support in a child with SCD and SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. With a successful outcome, the patient has returned home but still on mechanical ventilation with LTx still an option if he is not eventually liberated from invasive respiratory support.

AbstractThis study aimed to identify factors affecting the incidence of chemical accidents in chemical process industries. The present study investigated 840 accidents in 42 chemical process industries over 11 years (2008–2018). Data analysis was conducted using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA and CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM). Data analysis was done using IBM SPSS AMOS v. 22. Moreover, χ2/df, RMSEA, CFI, NFI, and NNFA (TLI) indices were used as model fit indices. The descriptive results showed that 45.3% and 32.14% of the accidents were related to transportation and the release of chemicals, respectively. Factor analysis showed that 6 latent factors and 37 indicator variables affected the accidents. SEM findings showed that latent factors, including individual and occupational training, risk management, and their indicator variables, had indirect effects on the chemical accidents (P < 0.05). In contrast, unsafe conditions and unsafe acts latent factors with their indicator variables had a direct impact on the incidence of chemical accidents (P < 0.05). The findings confirmed that chemical accidents are affected by different causal layers. Using different methods of accident analysis and combining them with scientific and updated techniques of other sciences, that is, mathematics, as well as statistics, can improve accident analysis and controlling methodologies.

AbstractAlmost half of the treatments with common antidepressants are failed or result in a relapse of symptoms after cessation. Moreover, the antidepressants side effects rationalize the use of complementary medicine as an adjunctive therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of propolis in complementary therapy of depressive disorder. Chromatography technics were used to detect propolis components. A double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial was designed, and 54 participants were randomly assigned to receive either propolis or Placebo for 6 weeks. Treatment was defined as a decrease in 17‐item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD‐17) and Beck depression inventory (BDI). On D42, there was a significant reduction in HAMD score in the propolis group compared with the placebo group (p < .0001). HAMD score significantly decreased in the propolis group from 20.92 ± 3.77 on D0 to 10.03 ± 5.55 on D42, and BDI score was improved from 29.25 ± 3.06 on D0 to 14.17 ± 4.86 on D42. Our findings confirmed that complementary treatment of propolis with SSRIs could safely attenuate symptoms of moderate–severe MDD. These antidepressant effects might result from the rich phenolic acids and flavonoids content of Azerbaijan propolis.
