Autonomous self-healing optical sensors for damage intelligent soft-bodied systems
Authors: Bai Hedan , Kim Young Seong , Shepherd Robert F. 
Published: December 2022

We introduce damage intelligent soft-bodied systems via a network of self-healing light guides for dynamic sensing (SHeaLDS). Exploiting the intrinsic damage resilience of light propagation in an optical waveguide, in combination with a tough, transparent, and autonomously self-healing polyurethane urea elastomer, SHeaLDS enables damage resilient and intelligent robots by self-healing cuts as well as detecting this damage and controlling the robot’s actions accordingly. With optimized material and structural design for hyperelastic deformation of the robot and autonomous self-healing capacity, SHeaLDS provides reliable dynamic sensing at large strains (ε = 140%) with no drift or hysteresis, is resistant to punctures, and self-heals from cuts at room temperature with no external intervention. As a demonstration of utility, a soft quadruped protected by SHeaLDS detects and self-heals from extreme damage (e.g., six cuts on one leg) in 1 min and monitors and adapts its gait based on the damage condition autonomously through feedback control.

Published: December 2022

Survival of symbiotic reef-building corals under global warming requires rapid acclimation or adaptation. The impact of accumulated heat stress was compared across 1643 symbiont communities before and after the 2016 mass bleaching in three coral species and free-living in the environment across ~900 kilometers of the Great Barrier Reef. Resilient reefs (less aerial bleaching than predicted from high satellite sea temperatures) showed low variation in symbioses. Before 2016, heat-tolerant environmental symbionts were common in ~98% of samples and moderately abundant (9 to 40% in samples). In corals, heat-tolerant symbionts were at low abundances (0 to 7.3%) but only in a minority (13 to 27%) of colonies. Following bleaching, environmental diversity doubled (including heat-tolerant symbionts) and increased in one coral species. Communities were dynamic (
Acropora millepora
) and conserved (
Acropora hyacinthus
and
Acropora tenuis
), including symbiont community turnover and redistribution. Symbiotic restructuring after bleaching occurs but is a taxon-specific ecological opportunity.

Abstract
The process of neutrino interaction with $${}^{98}\mathrm{Mo}$$ and $${}^{100}\mathrm{Mo}$$ nuclei is studied with allowance for the effect of charge-exchange resonances. The results obtained by calculating the cross section for solar-neutrino capture by the isotopes $${}^{98}$$Mo and $${}^{100}$$Mo, $$\sigma(E_{\nu})$$, are presented. Use is made of both experimental data obtained for the strength functions $$S(E)$$ in ($$p,n$$) and ($${}^{3}$$He, $$t$$) charge-exchange reactions and the strength functions $$S(E)$$ calculated within the theory of finite Fermi systems. The effect of the resonance structure of $$S(E)$$ on the calculated cross sections for solar-neutrino capture is studied, and the contribution of each high-lying resonance to the capture cross section $$\sigma(E_{\nu})$$ is isolated. The contributions of all components of the solar neutrino spectrum are calculated. The contribution of background solar neutrinos to the double-beta decay of $${}^{100}$$Mo nuclei is estimated.

IntroductionRecent studies in animal models indicate that recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is very effective in enhancing neurological recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). We described a protocol aimed at evaluating the efficacy of rHuEPO plus methylprednisolone (MP) compared with MP alone in improving neurological function of patients with SCI in randomised controlled trials (RCTs).Methods and analysisThis study aims to explore the effect of rHuEPO combined with MP on neurological function in patients with SCI through a meta-analysis. To this end, the authors will search eight research databases for data retrieval: MEDLINE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang, China Biology Medicine dis, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane and Embase for RCTs on SCI in any language. The primary outcome will be the American Spinal Injury Association score at the time of follow-up. The secondary outcomes will be the WHOQOL-100 instrument score, neurophysiological state and related factors. Two authors will independently search literature records, scan titles, abstracts and full texts, collect data, and assess materials for risk of bias. Stata V.14.0 will be used for statistical analysis.Ethics and disseminationThis research is exempt from ethics approval because the work is carried out on published documents. We will disseminate this protocol in scientific conferences and a peer-reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021260688.

IntroductionAnterior shoulder dislocation is a common reason for consultation at the emergency department (ED). Hypnosis could be a safe and effective alternative therapy for pain relief during shoulder dislocation reduction but nowadays, evidence is not sufficient. The main objective of this study is to show that reduction under hypnosis is associated with a decrease in the use of analgesic compared with usual care.Methods and analysisWe will conduct an interventional, controlled, multicentre, randomised study. A total of 44 patients with shoulder dislocation will be randomised in two groups: the hypnosis group (N=22) and the usual care group (N=22). The primary endpoint will be the comparison of morphine equivalent analgesic consumption during a shoulder dislocation reduction manoeuvre. Secondary endpoints will include haemodynamic parameters monitoring, patient and practitioner satisfaction using a Likert scale, use of coanalgesic or sedative drugs, number of reduction attempts and time spent at ED. Adverse events will be recorded. Statistical analysis will include parametric tests, multivariate linear regression and descriptive statistics.Ethics and disseminationThis study has received ethics approval from the Comité de Protection des Personnes of Sud-Est IV on 03/11/2021 (ANSM informed on 19 November 2021). The results will be published in scientific articles and communicated in national and international conferences.Trial registration numberClinicalTrial.gov:NCT04992598; National Clinical trial no ID RCB : 2021-A01382-39

Published: December 2022

IntroductionComprehensive data capture systems such as the Operating Room Black Box (OR Black Box) are becoming more widely implemented to access quality data in the complex environment of the OR. Prior to installing an OR Black Box, we assessed perceptions on safety attitudes, impostor phenomenon and privacy concerns around digital information sharing among healthcare professionals in the OR. A parallel survey was conducted in Canada, hence, this study also discusses cultural and international differences when implementing new technology in healthcare.MethodsA cross-sectional survey using three previously validated questionnaires (Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ), Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale, Dispositional Privacy Concern) was distributed through Research Electronic Data Capture to 145 healthcare professionals from the OR (July to December 2019). Analysis of variance and analysis of covariance were used to test for differences.Results124 responded (86%): 100 completed the survey (69%) (38 nurses, 10 anaesthesiologists, 36 obstetricians/gynaecologists, 16 residents). Significant variability in all six SAQ domains, safety climate and teamwork being the lowest ranked and job satisfaction ranked highest for all groups. The SAQ varied in all domains in Canada. Moderate to frequent impostor phenomenon was experienced by 71% predominantly among residents (p=0.003). 72% in the Canadian study. Residents were most comfortable with digital information sharing (p<0.001), only 13% of all healthcare professionals were concerned/heavy concerned compared with 45% in Canada.ConclusionsThe different healthcare professional groups had diverse perceptions about safety culture, but were mainly concerned about safety climate and teamwork in the OR. Impostor phenomenon decreased with age. All groups were unconcerned about digital information sharing. The Canadian study had similar findings in terms of impostor phenomenon, but a variety within the SAQ and were more concerned about data safety, which could be due to medical litigation per se and is not widespread in Scandinavia compared with North America.

IntroductionTumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) agents are most often the first-choice biological treatment for patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). When their discontinuation is needed, a switch to another TNFi or to another therapeutic class may be considered. However, data supporting one approach over another are lacking.ObjectiveTo compare the long-term persistence of classes of biologics in PsA patients with prior TNFi exposure.MethodsThis nationwide cohort study involved the administrative healthcare database of the French health insurance scheme linked to the hospital discharge database. We included all adults with PsA starting a second-line biological after discontinuing a TNFi during 2015–2020. Persistence was defined as the time from biological initiation to discontinuation and was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Comparison of persistence by biological class was performed with Poisson regression models with time divided into 6-month intervals.ResultsWe included 2975 patients: 1580 (53%) initiating a second TNFi, 426 (14%) an interleukin 12/23 inhibitor (IL-12/23i) and 969 (33%) an IL-17 inhibitor (IL-17i). Overall, 1-year and 3-year persistence rates were 42% and 17%, respectively. After adjustment, persistence was associated with treatment with an IL-17i (adjusted relative risk (RRa) 0.79, 95% CI 0.71 to 0.87) or IL-12/23i (RRa0.69, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.79) vs a TNFi, with no significant difference between IL-12/23 and IL-17 inhibitors (RRa0.88, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.02).ConclusionsOverall, this real-life study shows low persistence for all biologics at 3 years in PsA patients previously exposed to a TNFi. However, persistence was higher with an IL-17i or IL-12/23i than a TNFi.

Published: December 2022

AbstractAiming at evaluating the lifetime of the neutron, we introduce a novel statistical method to analyse the updated compilation of precise measurements including the 2022 dataset of Particle Data Group (PDG). Based on the minimization for the information loss principle, unlike the median statistics method, we apply the most frequent value (MFV) procedure to estimate the neutron lifetime, irrespective of the Gaussian or non-Gaussian distributions. Providing a more robust way, the calculated result of the MFV is $$\tau _n=881.16^{+2.25}_{-2.35}$$

For completeness, we systematically study the production channels of pentaquark states, including the possible production amplitudes and decay relations between different channels, concurrently, the widths of selected channels are worked out with the effective Lagrangian approach. Ultimately, we expect that the chosen channels will be fairly valuable supports for future search experiments.
On affine geometrical structure, generalized of Born–Infeld models and Eddington’s world conjectures
Authors: Cirilo-Lombardo Diego Julio 
Published: December 2022

In this work, we give a detailed description and discussion of the dynamic gravitational equations of the model with Lagrangian of the type [Formula: see text] as proposed by Eddington time ago but with [Formula: see text] being a non-Riemannian generalization of the Ricci tensor with the end to find the geometrical origin of the Eddington and Weyl conjectures concerning Lagrangian densities (generalized volume) and natural gauge. The Ricci tensor in our case is particularly based on an affine geometry with a generalized compatibility condition previously proposed in [B. McInnes, On the geometrical interpretation of ‘non-symmetric’ space-time field structures, Class. Quantum Grav. 1 (1984) 105–113; D. J. Cirilo-Lombardo, Non-Riemannian geometry, Born–Infeld models and trace-free gravitational equations, J. High Energy Astrophys. 16 (2017) 1–14]. Specifically, we show that: (i) the geometric action can be taken to a BI-type form considering a totally antisymmetric torsion field, (ii) Weyl’s proposal considering a universal gauge linked to a cosmological constant [Formula: see text] appears in the model naturally due to the proposed affine geometry, (iii) the Eddington conjecture that establishes a relationship between metric and curvature or fundamental tensor with constant of proportionality [Formula: see text] (natural gauge) is geometrically verified in the model with generalized affine geometry.
Testing a conjecture on quantum chromodynamics
Authors: Schiller Christoph 
Published: December 2022

A Planck-scale model that includes quantum chromodynamics and goes beyond it, is tested against observations. The model is based on a single fundamental principle. Starting with Dirac’s proposal describing spin [Formula: see text] particles as tethered objects, quarks and elementary fermions are conjectured to be fluctuating rational tangles with unobservable tethers. Such tangles obey the free Dirac equation. Classifying rational tangles naturally yields the observed spectrum of elementary fermions, including the six quark types and their quantum numbers. Classifying tangle deformations naturally yields exactly three types of gauge interactions, three types of elementary gauge bosons, and the symmetry groups U(1), broken SU(2) and SU(3). The possible rational tangles for quarks, leptons, Higgs and gauge bosons allow only the observed Feynman diagrams. The complete Lagrangian of the standard model — without any modification and including the Lagrangian of quantum chromodynamics — arises in a natural manner. Over 90 experimental consequences and tests about quark and gluon behavior are deduced from the single fundamental principle. No consequence is in contrast with observations. The consequences of the strand conjecture include the complete quark model for hadrons, the correct sign of hadron quadrupole moments, color flux tubes, confinement, Regge behavior, running quark masses, correctly predicted hadron mass sequences, the lack of CP violation for the strong interaction, asymptotic freedom, and the appearance of glueballs. Two consequences differ from quantum chromodynamics. First, the geometry of the strand process for the strong interaction leads to an ab-initio estimate for the running strong coupling constant. Second, the tangle shapes lead to ab-initio lower and upper limits for the mass values of the quarks.

Peroxynitrite (ONOO[Formula: see text] contributes to oxidative stress and neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Developing a peroxynitrite probe would enable in situ visualization of the overwhelming ONOO− flux and understanding of the ONOO− stress-induced neuropathology of PD. Herein, a novel [Formula: see text]-ketoamide-based fluorogenic probe ( DFlu) was designed for ONOO− monitoring in multiple PD models. The results demonstrated that DFlu exhibits a fluorescence turn-on response to ONOO− with high specificity and sensitivity. The efficacy of DFlu for intracellular ONOO− imaging was demonstrated systematically. The results showed that DFlu can successfully visualize endogenous and exogenous ONOO− in cells derived from chemical and biochemical routes. More importantly, the two-photon excitation ability of DFlu has been well demonstrated by monitoring exogenous/endogenous ONOO− production and scavenging in live zebrafish PD models. This work provides a reliable and promising [Formula: see text]-ketoamide-based optical tool for identifying variations of ONOO− in PD models.

Published: December 2022

The acoustic monitoring, omni-directional system (AMOS) in the Galileo Project is a passive, multi-band, field microphone suite designed to aid in the detection and characterization of aerial phenomena. Acoustic monitoring augments the Project’s electromagnetic sensors suite by providing a relatively independent physical signal modality with which to validate the identification of known phenomena and to more fully characterize detected objects. The AMOS system spans infrasonic frequencies down to 0.05[Formula: see text]Hz, all of audible, and ultrasonic frequencies up to 190[Formula: see text]kHz. It uses three distinct systems with overlapping bandwidths: infrasonic (0.05[Formula: see text]Hz – 20[Formula: see text]Hz), audible (10[Formula: see text]Hz – 20[Formula: see text]kHz), and ultrasonic (16[Formula: see text]kHz – 190[Formula: see text]kHz). The sensors and their capture devices allow AMOS to monitor and characterize the tremendous range of sounds produced by natural and human-made aerial phenomena, and to encompass possible acoustic characteristics of novel sources.Sound signals from aerial objects can be captured and classified with a single microphone under the following conditions: the sound reaches the sensor; the sound level is above ambient noise; and the signal has not been excessively distorted by the transmission path. A preliminary examination of the signal and noise environment required for the detection and characterization of aerial objects, based on theoretical and empirical equations for sound attenuation in air, finds that moderately loud audible sources (100[Formula: see text]dB) at 1[Formula: see text]km are detectable, especially for frequencies below 1[Formula: see text]kHz and in quiet, rural environments. Infrasonic sources are detectable at much longer distances and ultrasonic at much shorter distances.Preliminary aircraft recordings collected using the single, omni-directional audible microphone are presented, along with basic spectral analysis. Such data will be used in conjunction with flight transponder data to develop algorithms and corresponding software for quickly identifying known aircraft and characterizing the sound transmission path.Future work will include multi-sensor audible and infrasonic arrays for sound localization; analysis of larger and more diverse data sets; and exploration of machine learning and artificial intelligence integration for the detection and identification of many more types of known phenomena in all three frequency bands.
Effectiveness of an Endoscopic Recurrent Branch Release Procedure Combined with Standard Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery Compared to Standard Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery Alone: A Propensity Score-Matched Study
Authors: YOSHIDA Aya , OKUTSU Ichiro , HAMANAKA Ikki 
Published: December 2022

Background: The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of endoscopic release of the recurrent branch from surrounding soft tissue in combination with standard endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) surgery to standard ECTR surgery alone in patients with established abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscle weakness. Methods: Using propensity score matching, we compared the recovery rates of postoperative clinical symptoms in patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome in whom the preoperative Medical Research Council (MRC) scale of the APB muscle (MRC-APB) was zero (no contraction) and with undetectable distal motor latency (DML) of APB, to those who underwent standard ECTR surgery alone and those who underwent recurrent branch release in addition to standard ECTR. Results: Forty-nine hands in the recurrent branch release group and 49 hands in the standard ECTR surgery group were extracted. There were statistically significant differences in postoperative recovery rate from MRC-APB 0 to ‘4 or 5’ at 30 months (OR: 2.42; 95% CI: 1.03–5.67; p = 0.04) and at final follow-up (OR: 2.64; 95% CI: 1.11–6.26; p = 0.03). There were statistically significant differences in postoperative recovery of MRC-APB scales at 24 months (p = 0.03), 30 months (p = 0.02) and at final follow-up (p = 0.02). There were statistically significant differences in postoperative recovery of DML (p = 0.04). Conclusions: Endoscopic release of the recurrent branch in combination with standard ECTR surgery showed better recovery rates in MRC-APB and DML recovery compared to standard ECTR surgery alone. Level of Evidence: Level III (Therapeutic)
