description: Objective: To assess the relative contribution of intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis, mechanical bowel preparation, oral antibiotic prophylaxis, and combinations thereof towards the reduction of surgical site infection (SSI) incidence in elective colorectal resections. Methods and analysis: A systematic search of randomised controlled trials comparing interventions to reduce SSI incidence will be conducted with predefined search terms in the following databases: MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR). Additionally, several online databases will be searched for ongoing trials, and conference proceedings and reference lists of retrieved articles will be hand searched. The title-abstract screening will be partly performed by means of a semiautomated supervised machine learning approach, which will be trained on a subset of the identified titles and abstracts identified through traditional screening methods. The primary analysis will be a multicomponent network meta-analysis, as we expect to identify studies that investigate combinations of interventions (eg, mechanical bowel preparation combined with oral antibiotics) as well as studies that focus on individual components (mechanical bowel preparation or oral antibiotics). By means of a multicomponent network meta-analysis, we aim at estimating the effects of the separate components along the effects of the observed combinations. To account for between-trial heterogeneity, a random-effect approach will be combined with inverse variance weighting for estimation of the treatment effects. Associated 95% CIs will be calculated as well as the ranking for each component in the network using P scores. Results will be visualised by network graphics and forest plots of the overall pairwise effect estimates. Comparison-adjusted funnel plots will be used to assess publication bias. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval by the Ethical Committee of the Medical Faculty of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg (ID of approval: 2021-148). Results shall be disseminated directly to decision-makers (eg, surgeons, gastroenterologists, wound care specialists) by means of publication in peer-reviewed journals, presentation at conferences and through the media (eg, radio, TV, etc).

description: The generation of nanosized compartments in single chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) is a promising approach to generate individualized confinement-zones on a small scale for drug-encapsulation or catalysis. We here report the synthesis and characterization of compartmented, fluorinated SCNPs generated by single-chain collapse of amphiphilic copolymers. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalized monomers were utilized as hydrophilic moieties, while hydrophobic residues were introduced using different mole fractions of either aliphatic or fluorinated monomers. Single chain collapse and subsequently crosslinking via copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne click reactions in selective and non-selective solvents yields internally structured SCNPs with hydrodynamic radii of 2.5–5.8 nm. All of the SCNPs exhibited water solubility, but displayed different compartmentations sized <1 nm, depending on the type of hydrophobicity and the monomer ratio. Investigations using continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance and decay associated fluorescence spectroscopy, specifically targeting the hydrophobic cores of the SCNPs, revealed significant differences between the aliphatic and fluorinated cores of the SCNPs as probed by different specific molecular labels, finally allowing specific embedding of molecules into the specific compartments.

Remarks. A description of this species was given by Ghauri (1971). Some variation is found as follows. Crown always without black band, but black markings of forewing vary (Plate V: A–H). Pygofer side usually distodorsal and distoventral corner round, spine 1 long, slim; other spines usually 4 in number, short, but variation is found (Figs. 17 A–E); apophysis of style always elongate, but its shape varies (Figs. 18 A–C). This is the most easily distinguished Nephotettix sp. The most important feature is the completely unmarked crown with a distinct furrow (Plate V: A–H).

description: The study investigates relative age effects (RAE) in German youth soccer (Youth Bundesliga A: January 2004 to December 2005 and B: January 2006 to December 2007; highest league in German youth soccer) and its persistence in third-division players. Data from the 2022–2023 season (120 teams, 3,174 players) were analyzed using chi-square tests. Significant RAE was found in the A-series (p < .001), B-series (p < .001), and third-division professionals (p < .001). Notably, RAE was prominent among younger players but less evident in older third-division players (p = .116), indicating a diminishing selection effect with age and professional tenure. Coaches and talent managers are advised to consider RAE and additional factors like player maturity in talent selection for more efficient talent management strategies, especially in youth academies.

description: Inflammatory myopathies (IIM) include dermatomyositis (DM), sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), and overlap myositis (OLM)/antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS). There is also a rare variant termed polymyositis with mitochondrial pathology (PM-Mito), which is considered a sIBM precursor. There is no information regarding muscle MRI for this rare entity. The aim of this study was to compare MRI findings in IIM, including PM-Mito. This retrospective analysis included 41 patients (7 PM-Mito, 11 sIBM, 11 PM/ASyS/OLM, 12 IMNM) and 20 healthy controls. Pattern of muscle involvement was assessed by semiquantitative evaluation, while Dixon method was used to quantify muscular fat fraction. The sIBM typical pattern affecting the lower extremities was not found in the majority of PM-Mito-patients. Intramuscular edema in sIBM and PM-Mito was limited to the lower extremities, whereas IMNM and PM/ASyS/OLM showed additional edema in the trunk. Quantitative assessment showed increased fat content in sIBM, with an intramuscular proximo-distal gradient. Similar changes were also found in a few PM-Mito- and PM/ASyS/OLM patients. In sIBM and PM-Mito, mean fat fraction of several muscles correlated with clinical involvement. As MRI findings in patients with PM-Mito relevantly differed from sIBM, the attribution of PM-Mito as sIBM precursor should be critically discussed. Some patients in PM/ASyS/OLM and PM-Mito group showed MR-morphologic features predominantly observed in sIBM, indicative of a spectrum from PM/ASyS/OLM toward sIBM. In some IIM subtypes, MRI may serve as a biomarker of disease severity.

Diagnosis: According to Bae & McCafferty (1991), the nymphs of this species have larger mandibular tusks and subapical spines than others species in the same subgenus. The penes of males are stout. The distribution restricted to the northeastern part of Asia also contributes to its identification. Female subimago and imago in our collection can be distinguished from other Rhoenanthus (Potamanthindus) species by reddish to brown foreleg except foretarsi I–IV (Fig. 1), crossveins of all wings pigmented with purple-reddish markings, hindwing outer half reddish to brown and costal projection acute; subanal plate shallowly notched.

Note. The studied amber specimen shows the combination of characters unequivocally corresponding to the family Cryptophagidae: 11-segmented antennae with loose, 3-segmented club; tarsal formula 5-5-5; incomplete epipleura; elytra completely covering abdomen, with irregular punctation; procoxal cavities closed externally; and abdominal ventrite 1 longest. The studied amber specimen can be classified into the subfamily Atomariinae based on the following characters: antennal insertions situated under the lateral margin of forehead; and pronotum without callosities, teeth and submarginal lines. The new extinct species is assigned to the subgenus Anchicera within the genus Atomaria based on the combination of the following characters: distance between antennal insertions larger than distance between antennae and аnterior margin of eye; and lateral sides of elytra widely rounded, not parallel.

description: The term 'sclerosing diseases of the skin' comprises specific dermatological entities, which have fibrotic changes of the skin in common. These diseases mostly manifest in different clinical subtypes according to cutaneous and extracutaneous involvement and can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from each other. The present consensus provides an update to the 2017 European Dermatology Forum Guidelines, focusing on characteristic clinical and histopathological features, diagnostic scores and the serum autoantibodies most useful for differential diagnosis. In addition, updated strategies for the first- and advanced-line therapy of sclerosing skin diseases are addressed in detail. Part 2 of this consensus provides clinicians with an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of scleromyxoedema and scleroedema (of Buschke).

Rhoenanthus (Potamanthindus) magnificus: Nguyen & Bae 2004: 10, Fig. 1 (nymph description, Vietnam); Nguyen & Bae 2006: 21.
Diagnosis: Male adults of this species can be distinguished from other Rhoenanthus (Potamanthindus) species by relatively longer foretibiae (about 1.4x length of forefemora and about 2.0x length of foretarsi); variously stained markings throughout the forewing; genitalia V-shaped, and slightly notched apically on penes (Fig. 9). The nymphs of this species have relatively shorter bent mandibular tusks, with basal spines only.
Remarks: Ulmer (1920 a) reported male and female adults collected at Chenghu (China) as Rhoenanthus magnificus. Therefore, this species have been listed and cited by all following Chinese researchers. However, Bae & McCafferty (1991) rechecked these materials and attributed them to R. youi. Types of another synonym of this species, Neopotamanthodes lanchi Hsu, 1938 were lost during the second world war.
Distribution: Vietnam, China (Guizhou, Zhejiang).

description: A versatile and robust end-group derivatization approach using oximes has been developed for the detection of oxidative degradation of synthetic polyisoprenes and polybutadiene. This method demonstrates broad applicability, effectively monitoring degradation across a wide molecular weight range through ultraviolet (UV)-detection coupled to gel permeation chromatography. Importantly, it enables the effective monitoring of degradation via derivatization-induced UV-maximum shifts, even in the presence of an excess of undegraded polyene, overcoming limitations previously reported with refractive index detectors. Notably, this oxime-based derivatization methodology is used in enzymatic degradation experiments of synthetic polyisoprenes characterized by a cis: trans ratio with the rubber oxygenase LcpK30. It reveals substantial UV absorption in derivatized enzymatic degradation products of polyisoprene with molecular weights exceeding 1000 g mol−1 - an unprecedented revelation for this enzyme's activity on such synthetic polyisoprenes. This innovative approach holds promise as a valuable tool for advancing research into the degradation of synthetic polyisoprenes and polybutadiene, particularly under conditions of low organocatalytic or enzymatic degradation activity. With its broad applicability and capacity to reveal previously hidden degradation processes, it represents a noteworthy contribution to sustainable polymer chemistry.

description: The availability of biomass is strongly influenced by seasonality, which can affect the production of biofuels, biogas, and bio-based products in the downstream bioenergy supply chain. Rapeseed, maize silage, sugar beet, wheat, and grass from grassland are the most popular energy crops; they play a significant role in the German bioenergy strategy and are being discussed extensively in the current gas shortage context. Most models in the literature assume yearly temporal resolution for these energy crops, which can negatively impact the accuracy of results. This problem is increasingly relevant under weather conditions that are varying increasingly due to climate change; in this study we therefore employ the extended bioenergy optimization model (BENOPTex) to explore the impact of seasonality on the optimal deployment of biomass from energy crops in bioenergy production in the German heat, power, and transport sectors, which typically show high dependency on fossil fuels. First, we increased the model's temporal resolution using available datasets and documents. Next, the varying availability factors were embedded in the optimization model, considering the no-storage policy for energy crops in accordance with the just-in-time philosophy. Finally, the outcomes of the BENOPTex with annual resolution were contrasted with the results including the effects of seasonality, while considering various objective functions. We demonstrated a shift toward the consumption of woody biomass until 2045 due to its longer shelf life and improved storability. The energy demand stemming from summer leisure travel was also anticipated to exceed the bioenergy system's capacity. The insights provided here might be interesting for policymakers who design roadmaps for bioenergy development with a more resilient energy supply.

description: The Melittobia complex
Relationships between Melittobia and several genera of Tetrastichinae were discussed by Bouček (1966, 1977), Graham (1987, 1991), Dahms (1984), and LaSalle (1994). LaSalle (1994) discussed a close relationship between Melittobia, Tachinobia and Kocourekia, which he characterized them as lacking a malar sulcus, having a somewhat flattened body with an elongate pronotum, female hypopygium extended beyond middle of gaster, midlobe of mesoscutum without a median line, and funicular segments generally wider than long to quadrate. Many species in this group have numerous scattered setae on the mesoscutum and/or scutellum. These genera also share a similar biology, as gregarious parasitoids or hyperparasitoids of aculeate Hymenoptera or Tachinidae (Diptera). Males are unknown for Kocourekia, but those of Melittobia and Tachinobia are highly modified, with reduced wings and eyes.
