AbstractTechnological advancements in X-ray imaging using bright and coherent synchrotron sources now allows the decoupling of sample size and resolution while maintaining high sensitivity to the microstructures of soft, partially dehydrated tissues. The continuous developments in multiscale X-ray imaging resulted in hierarchical phase-contrast tomography, a comprehensive approach to address the challenge of organ-scale (up to tens of centimeters) soft tissue imaging with resolution and sensitivity down to the cellular level. Using this technique, we imaged ex vivo an entire human left lung at an isotropic voxel size of 25.08 μm along with local zooms down to 6.05–6.5 μm and 2.45–2.5 μm in voxel size. The high tissue contrast offered by the fourth-generation synchrotron source at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility reveals the complex multiscale anatomical constitution of the human lung from the macroscopic (centimeter) down to the microscopic (micrometer) scale. The dataset provides comprehensive organ-scale 3D information of the secondary pulmonary lobules and delineates the microstructure of lung nodules with unprecedented detail.

AbstractTrait databases have become important resources for large-scale comparative studies in ecology and evolution. Here we introduce the AnimalTraits database, a curated database of body mass, metabolic rate and brain size, in standardised units, for terrestrial animals. The database has broad taxonomic breadth, including tetrapods, arthropods, molluscs and annelids from almost 2000 species and 1000 genera. All data recorded in the database are sourced from their original empirical publication, and the original metrics and measurements are included with each record. This allows for subsequent data transformations as required. We have included rich metadata to allow users to filter the dataset. The additional R scripts we provide will assist researchers with aggregating standardised observations into species-level trait values. Our goals are to provide this resource without restrictions, to keep the AnimalTraits database current, and to grow the number of relevant traits in the future.

The archive contains downscaled historical and future projections for 1950–2100 based on output from Phase 6 of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The downscaled products were produced using a daily variant of the monthly bias correction/spatial disaggregation (BCSD) method and are at 1/4-degree horizontal resolution. Currently, eight variables from five CMIP6 experiments (historical, SSP126, SSP245, SSP370, and SSP585) are provided as procurable from thirty-five global climate models.
Demonstration of static electricity induced luminescence
Authors: Kikunaga Kazuya , Terasaki Nao 
Published: June 2022

AbstractCan we visualise static electricity, which everyone in the world knows about? Since static electricity is generated by contact or peeling, it may be a source of malfunction of electronic components, whose importance is steadily increasing, and even cause explosion and fire. As static electricity is invisible, makeshift measures of static electricity are taken on various surfaces; there is also a common view that it is hard to take effective measures. Here we present a specific luminescent material, SrAl2O4: Eu2+, which emits light at excitation by an electrostatic charge in the air. Till now, in the interaction between electricity and luminescent materials, it was considered that emission of light is enabled by accelerated particles colliding with the luminescent materialin vacuo. There have been no reports on luminescent materials being responsive to low-energy electrostatic charges under atmospheric pressure. Using SrAl2O4: Eu2+luminescent material discovered by us, we succeeded for the first time in static electricity visualisation in the form of green light. In addition to the fact that such static electricity induced luminescence assists in solving electrostatic-related problems in the industry, it also provides a new measurement method that facilitates the observation of previously invisible electric charges in the air.

AbstractWe aimed to compare cervical elastographic parameters based on a previous loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) and to determine whether they can predict preterm delivery in pregnant women with a history of LEEP. This multicenter prospective case–control study included 71 singleton pregnant women at 14–24 weeks of gestation with a history of LEEP and 1:2 gestational age-matched controls. We performed cervical elastography using E-cervix and compared maternal characteristics, delivery outcomes, cervical length (CL), and elastographic parameters between the two groups. The median mid-trimester CL was significantly shorter in the LEEP group. Most elastographic parameters, including internal os (IOS), external os (EOS), elasticity contrast index (ECI), and hardness ratio (HR), were significantly different in the two groups. In the LEEP group, the sPTD group compared to the term delivery (TD) group showed a higher rate of previous sPTD (50% vs. 1.7%, p < 0.001), higher IOS and ECI (IOS: 0.28 [0.12–0.37] vs. 0.19 [0.10–0.37], p = 0.029; ECI: 3.89 [1.79–4.86] vs. 2.73 [1.48–5.43], p = 0.019), and lower HR (59.97 [43.88–92.43] vs. 79.06 [36.87–95.40], p = 0.028), but there was no significant difference in CL (2.92 [2.16–3.76] vs. 3.13 [1.50–3.16], p = 0.247). In conclusion, we demonstrated that a history of LEEP was associated with a change in cervical strain measured in mid-trimester as well as with CL shortening. We also showed that cervical elastography can be useful in predicting sPTD in pregnant women with previous LEEP.

AbstractLeriche syndrome is characterized by abdominal aorta and/or bilateral iliac occlusive disease, with a triad of clinical symptoms and signs such as claudication, erectile dysfunction, and decreased distal pulses. Diagnostic imaging is one of the key factors for diagnosis of the anatomic origin of the Leriche symptoms. We report the case of a 56-year-old man with diagnosis of abdominal aorta and bilateral iliac occlusive disease with a wide collateral vascular network.
Posttreatment Changes of the Elbow
Authors: Grieser Thomas 
Published: June 2022

AbstractRadiologists should be familiar with the typical surgical procedures applied at the elbow and aware of the spectrum of normal and pathologic appearances of posttreatment situations throughout all radiologic modalities. Most important in the case of posttraumatic surgical elbow procedures is correct postoperative elbow joint alignment, appropriate fixation of joint-forming fragments, and proper insertion of screws, plates, and anchor devices that do not conflict with intra-articular or bony structures. To report soft tissue repair procedures correctly, radiologists need to know the broad spectrum of different techniques applied and their appearance on magnetic resonance imaging.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThe study includes preliminary phytochemical screening and assessing alleviative effects of ethanolic extract of Bambusa vulgaris shoots and Opuntia ficus-indica fruits (EEBO) on azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate (AOM/DSS)-induced colorectal cancer in rodents. Acute oral toxicity study was performed to find the therapeutic dose of EEBO. In animals, cancer was induced by single injection of AOM 10 mg/kg intraperitoneally followed by supply of three repeated cycles of 2.5% of DSS solution. Then animals were treated with EEBO from third day of experiment and treatment was continued throughout the experimental period. The anticancer effect was assessed by studying body weight (b. wt) changes, macroanatomy, antioxidant level, and microanatomy of colon. The phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of alkaloid, glycoside, carbohydrate, and flavonoid in bamboo extract, whereas glycoside and flavonoid in cactus extract. The results found that EEBO increases the b. wt and level of antioxidants like sodium dismutase, glutathione, and catalase and meanwhile decreases malondialdehyde. Macroanatomy study indicated a decrease in the numbers of adenoma and inflammatory signs in the treated group when compared with diseased group. Histopathology revealed that the presence of EEBO improved the colon histoarchitecture similar to normal and masked the crypt appearance. Decreased chromosomal aberrations and micronucleus numbers were observed in EEBO treated group. Overall, results suggest that the EEBO 400 mg/kg exhibited highest activity compared with 200 and 100 mg/kg and the effect may be attributed to its antigenotoxic or antioxidant effect.

Optimal integration of battery energy-storage system with high penetration of renewable energy in radial distribution network
Authors: Sheikh Hafsa Imra , Rathi Mahesh Kumar , Soomro Amir Mahmood 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Considering the intermittent nature of renewable energy, a storage system to reserve power in off-peak hours and then to supply it during peak hours is necessary. However, if these storage devices in a network are not placed in an appropriate manner, the advantages can never be achieved. In this study, the allocation and sizing strategies of a battery energy-storage system (BESS) in an optimal way are proposed to improve the performance of the radial distribution networks. The test network adopted is a standard IEEE 33 bus network that is integrated with solar power. Simulations are carried out in DIgSILENT PowerFactory for the distribution network model and the process of optimization is done through MATLAB®. The optimization algorithm adopted is the genetic algorithm. The system is studied for 24 hours with a step size of 15 minutes, employing a time-sweep analysis of dynamic load. It is studied under three different scenarios and the results are compared. The results illustrate a considerable reduction in power losses in the case of the optimized BESS. The total losses before the optimization process are 16 365.57 kW. The total losses after the employment of the proposed solution are 10 246.5 kW, which means that the losses are reduced by ≤62%.

Abstract
There were no estimates of the prevalence of pain and its treatment in the older population of India obtained from face-to-face interviews with a nationally representative sample. We addressed this evidence gap by using data on 63,931 individuals aged 45 years and older from the 2017/2018 Longitudinal Ageing Study in India. We identified pain from an affirmative response to the question: Are you often troubled by pain? We also identified those who reported pain that limited usual activities and who received treatment for pain. We estimated age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of pain, pain limiting usual activity and treatment, and compared these estimates across states and sociodemographic groups. We used a multivariable probit model to estimate full adjusted differences in the probability of each outcome across states and sociodemographic groups. We estimated that 36.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 35.3-37.8) of older adults in India were often troubled by pain and 25.2% (95% CI: 24.2-26.1) experienced pain limiting usual activity. We estimated that 73.3% (95% CI: 71.9-74.6) of those often troubled by pain and 76.4% (95% CI: 74.9-78.0) of those with pain that limited usual activity received treatment. There was large variation in each outcome across states. Fully adjusted prevalence of pain and pain limiting usual activity were higher among individuals who were female, older, less educated, rural residents, and poorer. Prevalence of treatment among those troubled by pain was lower among socially disadvantaged groups.
Monitoring of sedation in mechanically ventilated patients using remote technology
Authors: Hanidziar Dusan , Westover Michael Brandon 
Published: June 2022

Purpose of review
Two years of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic highlighted that excessive sedation in the ICU leading to coma and other adverse outcomes remains pervasive. There is a need to improve monitoring and management of sedation in mechanically ventilated patients. Remote technologies that are based on automated analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) could enhance standard care and alert clinicians real-time when severe EEG suppression or other abnormal brain states are detected.

Recent findings
High rates of drug-induced coma as well as delirium were found in several large cohorts of mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, high doses of sedatives comparable to general anesthesia have been commonly administered without defined EEG endpoints. Continuous limited-channel EEG can reveal pathologic brain states such as burst suppression, that cannot be diagnosed by neurological examination alone. Recent studies documented that machine learning-based analysis of continuous EEG signal is feasible and that this approach can identify burst suppression as well as delirium with high specificity.

Summary
Preventing oversedation in the ICU remains a challenge. Continuous monitoring of EEG activity, automated EEG analysis, and generation of alerts to clinicians may reduce drug-induced coma and potentially improve patient outcomes.
Lung aeration, ventilation, and perfusion imaging
Authors: Ball Lorenzo , Scaramuzzo Gaetano , Herrmann Jacob , Cereda Maurizio 
Published: June 2022

Purpose of review
Lung imaging is a cornerstone of the management of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), providing anatomical and functional information on the respiratory system function. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of mechanisms and applications of conventional and emerging lung imaging techniques in critically ill patients.

Recent findings
Chest radiographs provide information on lung structure and have several limitations in the ICU setting; however, scoring systems can be used to stratify patient severity and predict clinical outcomes. Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for assessment of lung aeration but requires moving the patients to the CT facility. Dual-energy CT has been recently applied to simultaneous study of lung aeration and perfusion in patients with respiratory failure. Lung ultrasound has an established role in the routine bedside assessment of ICU patients, but has poor spatial resolution and largely relies on the analysis of artifacts. Electrical impedance tomography is an emerging technique capable of depicting ventilation and perfusion at the bedside and at the regional level.

Summary
Clinicians should be confident with the technical aspects, indications, and limitations of each lung imaging technique to improve patient care.
Cholangioscopy in Children and Adolescents: Utilization, Outcomes, and Safety
Authors: Barakat Monique T. , Berquist William E. , Gugig Roberto 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is increasingly utilized for management of biliary disorders in children and adolescents. Practice patterns surrounding cholangioscopy in pediatric patients, however, are largely uncharacterized.

Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed all ERCPs in which cholangioscopy was performed on patients 18 and under at our tertiary care children’s hospital from 2015 to 2020 using our institution’s paper and electronic medical record system. Patient demographics, procedure indications, interventions, and associated adverse events were analyzed.

Results:
Over the study period, 307 ERCPs were performed on 282 patients at our children’s hospital. Cholangioscopy was performed in 36 procedures (11.7%) using the SpyGlass cholangioscope (Boston Scientific). Antibiotics to cover biliary organisms were administered to all patients precholangioscopy. Mean patient age was 13.6 years (range 7–18 years). The 2 most common indications for cholangioscopy included electrohydraulic lithotripsy for biliary stone disease and evaluation of biliary stricture (with incidental finding of biliary web in 2 patients and retained suture material in 2 patients). Adverse events were less prevalent in patients who underwent cholangioscopy relative to those who underwent ERCP. 0/36 (0%) developed post-ERCP pancreatitis, one patient had self-limited melena (possible self-limited postsphincterotomy bleeding). Patient care was enhanced by cholangioscopy in 30/36 (83.3%) of these patients.

Conclusions:
These data attest to the safety and clinical utility of cholangioscopy in children and adolescents. Cholangioscopy was performed in just over 11% of pediatric patients who underwent ERCP at our academic medical center—rates similar to those reported in adult patients. The radiation-sparing nature of cholangioscopy, coupled with these data supporting its safety, make it particularly appealing for use in children. Further multi-institution evaluation of the utility, safety, and range of indications for cholangioscopy in other practice settings would be of great interest and help guide endoscopic care.
