description: Currently, there is limited understanding regarding the prognostic significance of time to progression (TTP) after first remission in multiple myeloma (MM). We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 209 patients with MM. These patients were categorized into ≤ 6 months, ≤ 12 months, ≤ 24 months, > 24 months, 6–12 months, and 12–24 months subgroups based on TTP. Patients in ≤ 12 months group exhibited shorter median overall survival (OS) and OS-1 compared to those in ≤ 24 months group (61.73 vs 96.10 months, P = 0.02; 54.00 vs 74.17 months, P = 0.048). ≤ 6 months group exhibited shorter median OS and OS-1 compared to 6–12 months group (33.63 vs 79.60 months, P = 0.022; 19.93 vs 65.17 months, P = 0.015). Patients in 6–12 months group had shorter median OS and OS-1 compared to those in 12–24 months group (79.60 vs 100.43 months, P < 0.001; 65.17 vs 77.17 months, P = 0.012).No significant difference in OS was observed between patients in 12–24 months and > 24 months groups. For patients who experienced progression within 12 or 24 months after remission, undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) after progression conferred a median OS and OS-2 advantage over receiving post-progression chemotherapy. Multivariable analysis confirmed that TTP was an independent predictor for OS in patients with MM. Patients with MM who experience earlier disease progression within 12 months after remission have a worse prognosis, and post-progression ASCT can improve their survival outcomes.

description: Wireless Time-Sensitive Networking (WTSN) has emerged as a promising technology for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. To meet the latency requirements of WTSN, wireless local area network (WLAN) such as IEEE 802.11 protocol with the time division multiple access (TDMA) mechanism is shown to be a practical solution. In this paper, we propose the RT-WiFiQA protocol with two novel schemes to improve the latency and reliability performance: real-time quality of service (RT-QoS) and fine-grained aggregation (FGA) for TDMA-based 802.11 systems. The RT-QoS is designed to guarantee the quality-of-service requirements of different traffic and to support the FGA mechanism. The FGA mechanism aggregates frames for different stations to reduce the physical layer transmission overhead. The trade-off between the reliability and FGA packet size is analyzed with numerical results. Specifically, we derive a critical threshold such that the FGA can achieve higher reliability when the aggregated packet size is smaller than the critical threshold. Otherwise, the non-aggregation scheme outperforms the FGA scheme. Extensive experiments are conducted on the commercial off-the-shelf 802.11 interface. The experiment results show that compared with the existing TDMA-based 802.11 system, the developed RT-WiFiQA protocol can achieve deterministic bounded real-time latency and greatly improves the reliability performance.
«Glocal» conflicts: Missionary controversies on the Coromandel Coast between the XVII and XVIII centuries

description: At the beginning of the Eighteenth century the Holy See was called to solve the controversy on the Malabar Rites. The Jesuits that were working in the missions of Madurai, Mysore and «Carnate» were blamed for their tolerance of pagan practices and caste discriminations against the pariahs. This article proposes a category of «glocal», synthesis of «global» and «local», as a tool to interpret the conflict over the Malabar Rites beyond a narrow Romanocentric perspective.The Jesuit accommodatio appears therefore as a particular case of a more generaI trend towards adaptation shared by all the Catholic missionaries operating in South India. The article shows then that the denunciation made by the Capuchin François-Marie de Tours, considered until now as the very origin of a theological conflict on global scale, was in fact just an expression of an anti-Jesuitic front developed along the Coromandel coast and that included also the Venetian traveler Nicolao Manucci or the obscure Calabrian missionary Ignazio Placente. Finally, the article shows how the category of «glocal» may be useful not only to interpret the origin of the Malabar Rites controversy but also to contextualize the project, never accomplished, of an Italian East India Company to be established under the aegis of the congregation of Propaganda Fide.

description: Dehydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis (DHS), also known as Hereditary Xerocytosis (HX), is a rare genetic disorder primarily arising from gain-of-function mutations in PIEZO1, which disrupt mechanosensitive ion channels on red blood cell membranes. This dysfunction leads to cellular dehydration and chronic anemia, while DHS/HX cells exhibit increased hypotonic resistance. Interpreting PIEZO1 variants requires integrating clinical findings with specialized knowledge. Laboratory tests, whole-genome sequencing, and Sanger sequencing were conducted for clinical phenotyping and identification of disease-causing mutations within the proband and his parents. The proband was found to have both β-thalassemia trait and Dehydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis. The proband inherited compound heterozygous mutations in the PIEZO1 gene (c.136G > A and c.6307C > G) from his mother and father, respectively. Additionally, the proband had a heterozygous β-globin gene mutation (c.315 + 2delT) inherited from his father. Compared to patients with either DHS/HX or β-thalassemia alone, this patient, as a β-thalassemia carrier with suspected Dehydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis, exhibited highly complex laboratory findings. Genetic testing played a crucial role in diagnosing conditions with overlapping clinical features. Given the increased risk of thromboembolic complications, splenectomy is contraindicated in DHS/HX patients, highlighting the necessity for precise diagnosis of DHS/HX and molecular confirmation of suspected hereditary red blood cell disorders.
A Review On The Contemporary Debate Regarding Dieting

Subjects: subject: Reducing diets

description: Dieting has been a popular activity for many decades. It was generally accepted as an undeniable fact that following a diet would result in both an improvement in one's physical health and an enhancement of one's appearance. However, more lately, the consequences of dieting have come under scrutiny for possible negative impacts. Some individuals hold the opinion that dieting is, at best, useless, and, at worst, detrimental to one's health. These assertions have been used as the justification for more severe proposals, such as the demand for a halt to the development of weight reduction programs. Some feminist analyses of the growth of disordered eating and difficulties in weight control have criticized dieting as a component of social oppression. This is connected to the fact that dieting has been implicated as a part of societal oppression. Understanding exactly what is being criticized or praised in relation to diets is often forgotten in the heated debate that surrounds the topic. The question of whether or not individuals should diet in order to improve their health is one that cannot be answered satisfactorily from a scientific point of view. The question that is more helpful to ask is, "What are the impacts of the different kinds of dieting, namely self-imposed limitation in food caloric intake, among whom, and when done for what purpose?"

description: BACKGROUND: Physical function remains a crucial component of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) assessment and recovery. Traditional approaches to assess mTBI lack sensitivity to detect subtle deficits post-injury, which can impact a patient's quality of life, daily function and can lead to chronic issues. Inertial measurement units (IMU) provide an opportunity for objective assessment of physical function and can be used in any environment. A single waist worn IMU has the potential to provide broad/macro quantity characteristics to estimate gait mobility, as well as more high-resolution micro spatial or temporal gait characteristics (herein, we refer to these as measures of quality). Our recent work showed that quantity measures of mobility were less sensitive than measures of turning quality when comparing the free-living physical function of chronic mTBI patients and healthy controls. However, no studies have examined whether measures of gait quality in free-living conditions can differentiate chronic mTBI patients and healthy controls. This study aimed to determine whether measures of free-living gait quality can differentiate chronic mTBI patients from controls. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with chronic self-reported balance symptoms after mTBI (age: 40.88 ± 11.78 years, median days post-injury: 440.68 days) and 23 healthy controls (age: 48.56 ± 22.56 years) were assessed for ~ 7 days using a single IMU at the waist on a belt. Free-living gait quality metrics were evaluated for chronic mTBI patients and controls using multi-variate analysis. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) and Area Under the Curve (AUC) analysis were used to determine outcome sensitivity to chronic mTBI. RESULTS: Free-living gait quality metrics were not different between chronic mTBI patients and controls (all p > 0.05) whilst controlling for age and sex. ROC and AUC analysis showed stride length (0.63) was the most sensitive measure for differentiating chronic mTBI patients from controls. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that gait quality metrics determined through a free-living assessment were not significantly different between chronic mTBI patients and controls. These results suggest that measures of free-living gait quality were not impaired in our chronic mTBI patients, and/or, that the metrics chosen were not sensitive enough to detect subtle impairments in our sample.

subject: Night eating syndrome

description: Night Eating Syndrome, also known as NES, is a distinct eating disorder that is distinguished by a deferred pattern of food intake. Sufferers of this condition have recurring bouts of nighttime eating and/or unrestrained food intake after the evening meal. NES is an important clinical condition because of its connection to obesity, its correlation with other mental disorders, and the difficulties that it causes in terms of getting enough sleep. Nevertheless, NES is often overlooked, not just by medical experts but also by patients. In clinical settings, the lack of understanding of NES may lead to inaccurate diagnosis and improper treatment techniques. When it comes to recognizing NES and offering therapy for this problem, the most crucial step is to first ensure that the patient has received an accurate diagnosis of the condition. Clinical evaluation tools like the Night Eating Survey might be helpful for health practitioners who are treating populations who are at risk for NES. In spite of the fact that research on NES treatments is still in its infancy, antidepressant medicines and psychological therapy may be used for the most effective care of people who have NES. Additional therapeutic possibilities, such as anticonvulsant topiramate, photo therapy, and melatonergic drugs, also show promise as potential future treatment choices. This article's objective is to offer a synopsis of NES, including topics such as its assessment, comorbidities, and effective treatments. Possible obstacles encountered while prescribing drugs with NES and available treatment strategies are covered below.

description: Objective: China is attempting to establish a voluntary contracting system in primary care. This study aimed to determine the degree of consumer satisfaction with the entitlements of contract arrangements and its associated factors. Methods: A stratified cluster sampling strategy was adopted to recruit study participants from three administrative districts of Hangzhou municipality, each containing six residential communities. In each community, 50 households were recruited. A questionnaire was administered through face-to-face interviews with members of the households who signed a contract with community health centers, to collect data regarding their sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, and knowledge of and attitudes toward the contract entitlements. Consumer satisfaction was measured using six items rated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from "1=very dissatisfied" to "5=very satisfied" and a summed score was calculated. A mixed linear regression model was established to identify individual predictors of consumer satisfaction after adjustment of the random (intercept) effect of household clusters. Results: Overall, the respondents reported low levels of awareness and understanding of the contract entitlements, with an average knowledge score of 8.21 (SD = 3.74) out of a maximum possible of 19. The respondents had relatively lower levels of satisfaction (satisfied or very satisfied) with their prioritized entitlements (51.5%) and hospitals at home and telemedicine services (31.3%), compared with the contract and insurance policies (85.5%) and medical services provided (87.0%). Female gender, older age, chronic conditions, and perceived better health were associated with higher levels of satisfaction, while poor awareness and knowledge were associated with lower levels of satisfaction. Conclusion: The study participants perceived limited benefits from the contract arrangements in primary care, which may jeopardize the policy purpose of the arrangements to encourage patients to use primary care as the first contact point in accessing health care services. It is evident that consumer satisfaction with the contract entitlements varies by healthcare needs. Lower levels of satisfaction are associated with poor awareness and knowledge of the entitlements.

description: We present the Quantum Coherence Theory (QCT) model, a novel cosmological framework that structurally reformulates dark matter and the cosmological constant with scalar coherence fields derived directly from the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature power spectrum. This framework interprets the CMB TT power spectrum as a resonance map encoding coherence delays and accelerations which manifest as large-scale structure inversion or enhancement across observational datasets. We construct three dimensionless fields mu(z), nu(z), and phi(z) = mu(z) - nu(z), representing quantum coherence bursts, wells, and net field intensity, respectively. These fields are evaluated against several cosmological datasets (Pantheon+, KiDS, DR9Q, GWTC, BAO) using normalized RMS residuals, correlation coefficients, and visual overlays. We derive a Lagrangian for phi(z) evolution including an echo kernel kappa(z), modeled as a feedback mechanism coupling coherence bursts and gravitational wells. The model achieves strong RMS alignment and correlation with observational data, without parameter tuning.

description: The Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano, praised for adapting Christianity to the cultures of Japan and China, did not support a similar strategy for India and Africa. He theorized racial hierarchies in which a darker skin was associated with ignorance and vice, whereas the similarity to European physical features implied a higher degree of civilisation. Numerous and sincere conversions could be expected in East Asia, whereas the Indian and African neophytes were allegedly led only by terrestrial concerns. A tabula rasa policy was wished so as to transform the "black" new Christians into Europeans. The "Valignano hypothesis" suggests that the close association of accommodatio with racial hierarchies was due to concrete political and economic contexts. The Africans and Indians that converted to Christianity were mostly colonial subjects or tributaries, whereas in the East Asian polities the conversions were not accompanied by any effective Portuguese coercion. As the Thomas Christians of South India were neither subjects or commodities of the Portuguese, Valignano evaluated them in a way closer to the East Asians than to the Indians in general. In 1606, when Valignano died, Roberto Nobili started an accommodationist mission in Madurai, outside the reach of the Portuguese and in a vibrant cultural center ruled by a powerful local dynasty. A clear continuity linked Valignano and Nobili. While they had different evaluations of which society were civilised, they agreed on the racial, political and economic justification of accomodatio. The Badaga caste, to which the local rulers belonged, was differentiated from "the other dark people" and perceived as not inferior to the Japanese, hence it deserved accommodatio together with the Brahmanical elites. Through the 'Valignano hypothesis' we realize the anachronism affecting all analogies between the early modern hierarchical accommodatio and post-Vatican II Catholic efforts towards inculturation.

description: The histories of women who served in the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces (RVNAF) have been largely ignored in the vast historiography of the Vietnam War in spite of the fact that South Vietnamese women served in the armed forces from 1950 until the end of the war in 1975. From a core of 600 women in the Women’s Auxiliary Corps (WAC), the Women’s Armed Forces Corps (WAFC) was formed in 1965, and the number of servicewomen grew to more than 6,000 by 1975, including 600 officers. This article explores the history of the WAC and WAFC from the few published sources available, and examines the life histories of four RVNAF servicewomen who are now resettled overseas. Their narratives reveal that while few others may be aware of their stories, female veterans have succeeded in constructing individual discourses of their war service and post war lives, and are, in the process, creating and preserving the forgotten histories of RVNAF servicewomen.

description: This chapter challenges the idea tha Roberto Nobili was a pioneer of interreligious dialogue and inculturation. On the contrary, it suggests that his interest for our times is rather his theology of religions. A man of the Counter-Reformation, Nobili made propositions as daring as the ones of today's "Asian theology".

description: Background: An estimated 296 million individuals live with chronic hepatitis B worldwide, most have not been diagnosed and remain at risk of liver disease and cancer. People with hepatitis B often face discrimination that denies them employment or education opportunities, results in unfair treatment at work or in school, limits their ability to emigrate to certain countries, and in some cases prohibits them from serving in the military. Discrimination specific to hepatitis B has not been widely documented within the literature. This study aims to investigate and describe hepatitis B related discrimination, document discrimination occurring around the globe, and provide initial recommendations for addressing discrimination using key informant interviews. Methods: Purposive and snowball sampling were used to identify potential key informants for qualitative interview. Key informants identified as community health leaders, public health scientists, doctors, and researchers, many of whom were also living with hepatitis B. Using a semi-structured guide, participants were asked to describe their experience and any challenges for people living with hepatitis B including marginalization and its’ consequences. A codebook was used to guide the organization of data for analysis, and all transcripts N = 17 were double coded. Results: The overarching themes identified from interviews demonstrate explicit experiences with discrimination of those directly affected, the psychological responses, and the negative health outcomes associated with the unvirtuous cycle of discrimination. All key informants reported on the substantial quality of life implications and often poorer health outcomes resulting from hepatitis B discrimination. Participants also identified the significant impact of hepatitis B discrimination occurring within a range of education-based services across several countries as well as military exclusion or removal if individuals are found to have hepatitis B. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that hepatitis B discrimination has a significant impact. Discrimination can occur at various points in life from education, to seeking employment, to marriage, to restrictions on entry, travel and stay in other countries. This study demonstrates the impact of discrimination and the need for future research that can lead to policy change and protections for people living with and impacted by hepatitis B.
"Les meilleures Causes embarassent les Juges, si elles manquent de bonnes preuves": Père Norbert's Militant Historiography on the Malabar Rites Controversy

subject: Historiography

description: Norbert Bar-Le-Duc (1697- 1769), also known as Abbé Jacques Platel, Pierre Parisot, Pierre Curel, traversed identities and continents, making a career out of controversy, becoming knowns as "le fameux Père Norbert". He worked in South India as a missionary in 1736-1739 and thereafter played a pivotal role in the Malabar Rites controversy. Back to Europe, Norbert developed a literary offensive against the Jesuits, using historical memoires that accompanied Benedict XIV's ban of the Malabar Rites (1744), while being condemned by the Holy Office in 1745 and 1751. Norbert's life took an adventurous turn, the condemnation leading him to seek refuge in Holland and England where, ever the eclectic, he also established a tapestry factory. He later moved to Portugal as the protegé of the Marquis of Pombal. A major author against the Jesuits, he engaged with Jansenism, freemason networks, English early industrial entrepreneurship and Pombalism, changing his identity to assert himself in opposition to the Society of Jesus. This chapter considers the peculiar form of historiography that he developed in order to carry out his anti-Jesuit polemic. His own polemical "history of the present" was based on the use and abuse of the archives of Propaganda Fide in order to wage a successful war against the Society of Jesus. His works were often written in a careless and repetitive style but were always supported by a rich, if not pletoric, set of documentary evidence. He was a historian with the mind of a lawyer: he knew that "the best causes embarass the Judges if they are deprived of good evidence".

description: BACKGROUND: GHB is used among some sexuality and gender diverse populations at elevated rates, however little qualitative research has explored GHB use among these populations with regards to diverse contexts, settings, practices, and experiences of use. Internationally, harms relating to GHB overdose appear to be increasing. Research outlining consumers' experiences of GHB-related pleasures and their strategies to reduce harms may inform GHB education and intervention responses. METHODS: N = 31 participants reporting three or more occasions of GHB use within the previous 12 months were recruited via digital advertising and snowball methods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, data were transcribed and analysed in NVivo using a thematic framework analysis. Emergent themes were charted, and divergences and convergences were considered with regards to the sexuality and gender identities of participants. RESULTS: Pleasures associated with GHB were described in relation to the sensation of the GHB high and experiences of intimacy, and connection. GHB was used to enhance socialising and sex in domestic, private, and commercial venues. Participants prioritised terminology of 'control' when describing their practices associated with GHB dosing, measuring, timing and peer moderation. Most participants reported personal experience of GHB overdose with loss of consciousness. CONCLUSION: Participants' near-ubiquitous experience of GHB overdose highlights ongoing education needs around overdose prevention. Efforts must target people new to GHB use who appeared particularly susceptible to overdose. Inconsistencies in understandings around GHB overdose, the perceived severity of overdose and the differences between GHB and its precursors GBL and 1,4-BD, highlight potential focus areas of future education responses. Further research is required to better understand consumers' experiences of sexual violence in the context of GHB use.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a stress test for local neighborhood governance, as the responsibilities of detecting/containing infections largely fell onto neighborhood-level actors. Working at the frontlines, residents’ committees acted as grassroots government agents, together with property management companies (PMCs) and homeowners associations (HOAs), to implement pandemic prevention and control measures. Using survey data collected in six Chinese cities in 2021, this paper analyzes residents’ satisfaction with pandemic control measures – a major task of neighborhood governance back then. The results show that greater roles of PMCs and HOAs led to higher levels of satisfaction. Meanwhile, satisfaction was positively influenced by residents’ social capital and income, while COVID-19 infections and homeownership showed a negative impact. The results demonstrate the important role of non-state actors in enhancing governance efficacy within a largely top-down governance system. Meanwhile, homeowners tended to demand greater autonomy and prefer more participatory approaches. This study offers a nuanced and enriched understanding of the changing dynamics of neighborhood governance under shifting state-market-society relations by demonstrating how the otherwise less powerful non-state actors were empowered to combat the pandemic collectively. It also informs future policymaking to unleash the potential of bottom-up mechanisms to enhance neighborhood governance efficacy and residents’ satisfaction.

Territorializing the Pearl River Delta: “state entrepreneurialism” in the cultural facility boom

description: This research delves into the remarkable surge in cultural facilities within the Pearl River Delta (PRD) spanning the last forty years. It unveils the intricate interaction between entrepreneurial urban strategies and state-driven territorial authority. We reconceptualize these facilities as entrepreneurial tools serving the ideological goals of the Party-state. While expected to achieve economic sustainability through the synergy of symbolic assets and augmented land value, cultural facilities redirect urban entrepreneurialism to foster national pride, fortify internal cohesion, disseminate state dominance, standardize regional identity, or extend territorial influence. Thus, the emergence of the cultural facility boom in the PRD is not the outcome of a singular policy objective; rather, it is a confluence of diverse core interests of the Party-state, and the interplay between entrepreneurial practices and ideologies varies across historical periods. This thesis bridges a gap between China’s political-economic conditions, cultural facilities, and territorial power, thereby augmenting the “state entrepreneurialism” approach.
