Published: July 2022

AbstractAimsThe aim of this study is to evaluate an evidence‐based fall risk screening tool to predict the risk of falls suitable for independent community‐dwelling older adults guided by the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (WHO‐ICF) components, and to examine the reliability and validity of the fall risk screening tool to predict fall risks, and to examine the feasibility of tools among independent community‐dwelling older adults.MethodsA systematic literature search guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement was performed using the EBSCOHost® platform, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Google Scholar between July and August 2021. Studies from January 2010 to January 2021 were eligible for review. Nine articles were eligible and included in this systematic review. The risk of bias assessment used the National Institutes of Health quality assessment tool for observational cohort and cross‐sectional studies. The WHO‐ICF helped to guide the categorization of fall risk factors.ResultsSeven screening tools adequately predicted fall risk among community‐dwelling older adults. Six screening tools covered most of the components of the WHO‐ICF, and three screening tools omitted the environmental factors. The modified 18‐item Stay Independent Brochure demonstrated most of the predictive values in predicting fall risk. All tools are brief and easy to use in community or outpatient settings.ConclusionThe review explores the literature evaluating fall risk screening tools for nurses and other healthcare providers to assess fall risk among independent community‐dwelling older adults. A fall risk screening tool consisting of risk factors alone might be able to predict fall risk. However, further refinements and validations of the tools before use are recommended.

AbstractAimsTo identify, synthesize and evaluate the psychometric properties of instruments that measure dating violence (DV).DesignPsychometric systematic literature review.Data SourcesThe databases SCOPUS, PubMed, CINAHL, PsychINFO, and Web of Science were searched up to December 2021.Review MethodWe evaluated the psychometric properties of the instruments included and their methodological quality using the Consensus‐based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist and Terwee's quality criteria. The Modified Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was used to rate the best available evidence. The entire process was carried out by three independent reviewers. The review was registered at PROSPERO (registry number CRD42020161137).ResultsA total of 35 studies evaluated 29 instruments measuring DV. Most studies reported data on content validity, structural validity and internal consistency. No studies tested measurement error and responsiveness. Only one instruments tested cross‐cultural validity. It is of interest that the data reported for content validity were the worst evaluated, despite the fact that content validity is one of the key properties in developing and validating the measuring instrument.ConclusionsThere are a significant number of instruments published in this field, and it is important to evaluate and show their psychometric properties to help select evidence‐based instruments. After carrying out the evaluation following the COSMIN guidelines, the authors of this study recommend that the three most suitable instruments are CADRI, WAS/Chinese version and PMWI‐SF/Portuguese version (in that order).ImpactIdentifying and evaluating DV is the first step in designing effective interventions. To achieve this, it is necessary to have validated instruments with suitable psychometric properties. To date, this is the only published systematic review evaluating the psychometric properties of instruments that measure DV which reports on their methodological qualities. The results we found show a growing trend in developing new instruments, with the most suitable approach being to make a cross‐cultural adaptation and validation of the instrument that best suits the value to be measured. In this way, data can be compared between different countries and standardized health care plans and policies designed to achieve better health outcomes. This study may help future researchers to choose the most suitable instrument for their research.

AbstractAimTo evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human platelet‐derived growth factor (rhPDGF)‐BB combined with a cross‐linked collagen matrix (CCM) for the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recession type 1 defects (MAGRs) in combination with the coronally advanced flap (CAF).Materials and MethodsThirty patients were enrolled in this triple‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial and treated with either CAF + CCM + rhPDGF, or CAF + CCM + saline. The primary outcome was mean root coverage (mRC) at 6 months. Complete root coverage, gain in gingival thickness (GT), keratinized tissue width, volumetric and ultrasonographic changes, and patient‐reported outcome measures were also assessed. Mixed‐modelling regression analyses were used for statistical comparisons.ResultsAt 6 months, the mRC of the CCM + rhPDGF and CCM alone groups were 88.25% and 77.72%, respectively (p = .02). A significant gain in GT was consistently observed for both treatment arms, and more so for the patients receiving the matrix containing rhPDGF through time (0.51 vs. 0.80 mm, on average, p = .01). The rhPDGF + CCM treated patients presented greater volume gain, higher soft tissue thickness, and a superior aesthetic score.ConclusionrhPDGF enhances the clinical, volumetric, and aesthetic outcomes of MAGRs above the results achieved with CAF + CCM alone (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04462237).

AbstractBackgroundOne of the dermatologic problems in elderly people is skin aging, which is a natural and complex biological process. Morin is a flavonoid with high radical scavenging activity as well as antityrosinase effects but its low water solubility has restricted its application.AimsThis research aimed to develop, characterize, and optimize morin niosomes composed of non‐ionic surfactants, and evaluate the in vitro UV protection and antiaging effectiveness.MethodsNiosomes were prepared by the film hydration method with sorbitan monostearate (Span® 40), polyoxyethylenesorbitan monopalmitate (Tween® 40), and cholesterol. The niosomes were characterized in terms of size, zeta potential, morphology, in vitro release behavior, and drug entrapment efficiency (EE). Afterward, antiaging activity, including antityrosinase, antioxidant, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, and sun protection factor (SPF) were evaluated.ResultsThe optimized niosomes appeared as unilamellar vesicles with a spherical shape, with size, zeta potential, and EE values of 6.13 ± 0.40 μm, −0.81 ± 0.32 mV, and 89.35% ± 2.80%, respectively. The noisome formulation remained stable at −4°C for 3 months. The release profiles of morin loaded in niosomes revealed the extended release over 8 h and followed zero‐order release kinetics. Morin‐loaded niosomes exhibited no significant toxicity toward the L929 cell line. The niosome loaded with morin showed anti skin aging activity, including antityrosinase effects (IC50 = 13.17 ± 1.58 μg/ml), antioxidant (IC50 = 28.49 ± 2.05 μg/ml), and ROS scavenging activity. For 1% and 5% (w/w) morin niosomes in eucerin base cream, the SPF was 39.03 ± 1.01 and 38.15 ± 0.82, respectively, whereas the noisome‐free morin cream exhibited an SPF of 4.47 ± 0.56.ConclusionMorin‐loaded niosome has been shown to provide sun protection and antiaging effects, suggesting that it could be used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
Role of Salmonella Newport cell surface structures on bacterial attachment and transfer during cucumber peeling
Authors: Jung J. , Schaffner D.W. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Fresh cucumbers have been recognized as a vehicle in foodborne disease outbreaks since several multistate outbreaks of salmonellosis linked to fresh cucumbers occurred in the United States. Little is known about how microbial cell surface characteristics that are known to affect adhesion can influence bacterial cross-contamination and transfer. This study investigated the role of S. Newport cell surface components on bacterial attachment and transfer in cucumbers. Wild type Salmonella Newport and its transposon mutants were used to inoculate cucumbers. Attachment strength of S. Newport wild type to cucumber was not significantly different than that of mutants. Log10 percent transfer of mutant strains to edible flesh was not different from the wild type. Significantly less wild type Salmonella remained on the peel and transferred to the peeler than one mutant did, but not the other. Our results suggest that while curli and cellulose enhance Salmonella attachment to surface of cucumbers, there appear to be other mechanisms and factors that govern Salmonella transfer in cucumbers.

Summary

Suberin in roots acts as a physical barrier preventing water/mineral losses. In Arabidopsis, root suberization is regulated by abscisic acid (ABA) and ethylene in response to nutrient stresses. ABA also mediates coordination between microbiota and root endodermis in mineral nutrient homeostasis. However, it is not known whether this regulatory system is common to plants in general, and whether there are other key molecule(s) involved.

We show that serotonin acts downstream of ABA in regulating suberization in rice and Arabidopsis and negatively regulates suberization in rice roots in response to salinity. We show that ABA represses transcription of the key gene (OsT5H) in serotonin biosynthesis, thus promoting root suberization in rice. Conversely, overexpression of OsT5H or supplementation with exogenous serotonin represses suberization and reduces tolerance to salt stress.

These results identify an ABA‐serotonin regulatory module controlling root suberization in rice and Arabidopsis, which is likely to represent a general mechanism as ABA and serotonin are ubiquitous in plants.

These findings are of significant importance to breeding novel crop varieties that are resilient to abiotic stresses and developing strategies for production of suberin‐rich roots to sequestrate more CO2, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change.
Memory modulations through musical pleasure
Authors: Ferreri Laura , Rodriguez‐Fornells Antoni 
Published: July 2022

AbstractMusic, thanks to its strong evocative power, is considered a powerful mnemonic tool for both normal and clinical populations. However, the mechanisms underpinning the music‐driven benefits on memory remain unclear. In memory research, reward dopaminergic signals have been highlighted as a major modulator of memory traces consolidation. Over the last years, via behavioral and pharmacological approaches, we have investigated the hypothesis that dopaminergic‐dependent musical pleasure is a crucial mechanism underpinning music‐driven memory benefits. Our results show that the pleasure felt during music listening, modulated by both the dopaminergic transmission and participants’ sensitivity to music reward, can increase episodic memory performance for the music itself as well as for nonmusical‐associated information. In this commentary paper, we aim to review the main findings obtained from three different studies, in order to discuss current advances and future directions in this research area.

AimIn recent decades, the prevalence of amphetamine and methamphetamine use disorders has at least doubled in some regions/countries, with accompanying high risks of drug overdose‐associated mortality. Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) methods may be effective treatments. However, the comparative efficacy of the NIBS protocol for amphetamine/methamphetamine use disorder (AUD/MUD) remains unknown to date. The aim of this network meta‐analysis (NMA) was to compare the efficacy and acceptability of various NIBS methods/protocols for AUD/MUD management.MethodsA frequentist model‐based NMA was conducted. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the efficacy of NIBS and guideline‐recommended pharmacologic treatments to reduce craving severity in patients with either AUD or MUD.ResultsTwenty‐two RCTs including 1888 participants met the eligibility criteria. Compared with the sham/placebo group (study = 19, subjects = 891), a combination of intermittent theta burst stimulation over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and continuous TBS over the left ventromedial prefrontal cortex (study = 1, subjects = 19) was associated with the largest decreases in craving severity [standardized mean difference (SMD) = −1.50; 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) = −2.70 to −0.31]. High‐frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over the left DLPFC was associated with the largest improvements in depression and quality of sleep (study = 3, subjects = 86) (SMD = −2.48; 95%CIs = −3.25 to −1.71 and SMD = −2.43; 95%CIs = −3.38 to −1.48, respectively). The drop‐out rate of most investigated treatments did not significantly differ between groups.ConclusionThe combined TBS protocol over the prefrontal cortex was associated with the greatest improvement in craving severity. Since few studies were available for inclusion, additional large‐scale randomized controlled trials are warranted.

Published: July 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is the largest U.S. nutrition program for low‐income pregnant women. It was revised in 2009, with the goal of improving nutritional content of food packages, enhancing nutrition education, and strengthening breast feeding support. Few studies have assessed the effects of this revision on perinatal health.ObjectivesTo investigate the impact of the revised WIC program on maternal and child health in a large, multi‐state data set.MethodsWe conducted a quasi‐experimental difference‐in‐differences analysis, comparing the pre/post changes among WIC recipients to changes among non‐recipients. We adjusted for key sociodemographic covariates in multivariable linear models. We used data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) for 18 states from 2004 to 2017.ResultsThe main analysis included 331,946 mother‐infant dyads. WIC recipients were more likely to be younger, Black or Hispanic/Latina, unmarried, and of greater parity. The revised WIC program was associated with reduced likelihood of more‐than‐recommended GWG (−1.29% points, 95% confidence interval [CI] −2.03, −0.56) and increased likelihood of ever breast fed (1.18% points, 95% CI 0.28, 2.08). We also identified heterogeneous effects on GWG, with more pronounced associations among women 35 and older. There were no associations with foetal growth.ConclusionsThe revised WIC program was associated with improvements in women's gestational weight gain and infant breast feeding.
Seismic roulette: Hazards and risks
Authors: Kossobokov Vladimir , Panza Giuliano 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe Neo Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment (NDSHA) is the innovative multi‐disciplinary scenario‐physics‐based approach for the evaluation of seismic hazard and risks. When an earthquake occurs, the ground shaking does not depend on its likelihood according to the widespread Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA), which estimates are too often wrong. An “unlikely” earthquake can occur at any time and, sooner or later, with 100% probability. Therefore, from a perspective of safety, it is essential that infrastructure and public installations are designed so as to resist future strong earthquakes. NDSHA has proven to both reliably and realistically simulate comprehensive sets of hazardous ground motions in many regions worldwide. Today NDSHA is gaining momentum in spreading worldwide an innovative Paradigm of Reliable Seismic Hazard Assessment (RSHA) that should ultimately change mind‐sets of scientific and engineering communities from disbelief in probabilistic forecasting to optimistic challenging issues of neo‐deterministic predictability of Natural Hazards and Risks.
Evolution of mitochondrial RNA editing in extant gymnosperms
Authors: Wu Chung‐Shien , Chaw Shu‐Miaw 
Published: July 2022

SUMMARYTo unveil the evolution of mitochondrial RNA editing in gymnosperms, we characterized mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), plastid genomes, RNA editing sites, and pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins from 10 key taxa representing four of the five extant gymnosperm clades. The assembled mitogenomes vary in gene content due to massive gene losses in Gnetum and Conifer II clades. Mitochondrial gene expression levels also vary according to protein function, with the most highly expressed genes involved in the respiratory complex. We identified 9132 mitochondrial C‐to‐U editing sites, as well as 2846 P‐class and 8530 PLS‐class PPR proteins. Regains of editing sites were demonstrated in Conifer II rps3 transcripts whose corresponding mitogenomic sequences lack introns due to retroprocessing. Our analyses reveal that non‐synonymous editing is efficient and results in more codons encoding hydrophobic amino acids. In contrast, synonymous editing, although performed with variable efficiency, can increase the number of U‐ending codons that are preferentially utilized in gymnosperm mitochondria. The inferred loss‐to‐gain ratio of mitochondrial editing sites in gymnosperms is 2.1:1, of which losses of non‐synonymous editing are mainly due to genomic C‐to‐T substitutions. However, such substitutions only explain a small fraction of synonymous editing site losses, indicating distinct evolutionary mechanisms. We show that gymnosperms have experienced multiple lineage‐specific duplications in PLS‐class PPR proteins. These duplications likely contribute to accumulated RNA editing sites, as a mechanistic correlation between RNA editing and PLS‐class PPR proteins is statistically supported.

Evaluación de la política pública de seguridad alimentaria y nutricional de Bogotá en el período 2004-2014, desde una perspectiva de garantía plena del derecho a la alimentación
Authors:   , López Prieto Clara Marcela 
Published: July 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una evaluación de la Política Pública de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional de Bogotá PSAN en el período 2004-2014 desde una perspectiva de garantía plena del derecho a la alimentación. Para cumplir este objetivo se estudia el derecho a la alimentación desde el enfoque de derechos. Posteriormente se definen tres dimensiones evaluativas. La primera es la evaluación de la PSAN a partir de tres análisis: el seguimiento al cumplimiento de las metas que se proponen los planes de desarrollo "Bogotá Sin Indiferencia", "Bogotá Positiva" y "Bogotá Humana" respecto de la política, el análisis de los avances y dificultades del Plan Maestro de Abastecimiento de Alimentos y Seguridad Alimentaria y el tercer análisis es el del presupuesto ejecutado anualmente en la PSAN. La segunda dimensión corresponde a la construcción y aplicación del Índice Compuesto de Realización del Derecho a la Alimentación, una medición cuantitativa que permite conocer el nivel de garantía de este derecho en la ciudad. Y la tercera dimensión presenta la evaluación que líderes sociales y expertos hacen de la PSAN. Se concluye que la garantía del derecho a la alimentación ha tenido un avance progresivo en la ciudad. Sin embargo, la PSAN no ha logrado construirse como una política distrital de largo plazo, sino que se ha sometido al plan de desarrollo del gobierno de turno.
