description: The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, an American Lepidoptera, is invasive in Africa and Asia and currently one of the most damaging cereal pests in the tropics. The ichneumonid parasitoid, Eiphosoma laphygmae, is a potential classical biological control agent. We assessed existing knowledge on biology, identified natural distributions, collated reported parasitism rates from field studies and determined which other parasitoids co-occurred. We discussed the suitability of E. laphygmae for classical biological control as well as identified limitations and knowledge gaps. We conducted a systematic literature review and had 185 hits, retaining 52 papers. Reports on the natural distribution of E. laphygmae were restricted to the American tropics, ranging from North-East Mexico to Sao Paulo State, Brazil. There were only two single and unconfirmed records of it on other hosts, suggesting that the parasitoid may be specific to S. frugiperda, but this needs confirmation. In fields where E. laphygmae occurred naturally, it was the second most important contributor to fall armyworm mortality, after the braconid Chelonus insularis. On average, E. laphygmae parasitized 4.5% of fall armyworm in field studies. The highest parasitism rates were from Costa Rica (13%) and Minas Gerais, Brazil (14.5%). However, these parasitism rates are probably largely underestimated because of likely biases in sampling and parasitism rate calculations. Eiphosoma laphygmae appeared to establish better in more diverse, weedy systems. As African farming systems often have high diversity, this may favour the establishment and parasitism of E. laphygmae if eventually introduced as a classical biological control agent.

description: Background: Alterations in electrocardiographic (ECG) intervals are well-known markers for arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk. While the genetics of arrhythmia syndromes have been studied, relations between electrocardiographic intervals and rare genetic variation at a population level are poorly understood. Methods: Using a discovery sample of 29 000 individuals with whole-genome sequencing from Trans-Omics in Precision Medicine and replication in nearly 100 000 with whole-exome sequencing from the UK Biobank and MyCode, we examined associations between low-frequency and rare coding variants with 5 routinely measured electrocardiographic traits (RR, P-wave, PR, and QRS intervals and corrected QT interval). Results: We found that rare variants associated with population-based electrocardiographic intervals identify established monogenic SCD genes (KCNQ1, KCNH2, and SCN5A), a controversial monogenic SCD gene (KCNE1), and novel genes (PAM and MFGE8) involved in cardiac conduction. Loss-of-function and pathogenic SCN5A variants, carried by 0.1% of individuals, were associated with a nearly 6-fold increased odds of the first-degree atrioventricular block (P=8.4×10-5). Similar variants in KCNQ1 and KCNH2 (0.2% of individuals) were associated with a 23-fold increased odds of marked corrected QT interval prolongation (P=4×10-25), a marker of SCD risk. Incomplete penetrance of such deleterious variation was common as over 70% of carriers had normal electrocardiographic intervals. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that large-scale high-depth sequence data and electrocardiographic analysis identifies monogenic arrhythmia susceptibility genes and rare variants with large effects. Known pathogenic variation in conventional arrhythmia and SCD genes exhibited incomplete penetrance and accounted for only a small fraction of marked electrocardiographic interval prolongation.

description: Aims Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has also been attributed to a lower speed of contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM). Therefore, PFM assessment and training implement fast voluntary contractions (FVC). The purpose of the study was to explore FVC regarding feasibility, on‐/offset and rate of activity determination, as well as differences between continent (CON) and stress urinary incontinent (SUI) women. Methods Fifty women were included and examined by means of PFM EMG during rest, maximum voluntary contractions (MVC), and five FVC. MVC‐peak activity was used to normalize EMG‐data. On‐/offset of muscle activity was determined as mean of rectified rest activity plus 1 standard deviation. Linear regression was calculated for rate of activity from onset to peak, peak to offset, and within 200 ms after both onset and peak. Peak activity and time variables related to onset, peak, and offset were calculated. Results On‐/offsets were evaluable for 234/222 of 250 FVC by a computer‐based algorithm, 16/28 on‐/offsets had to be determined manually. There was no significant difference between groups (CON/SUI) regarding FVC peak (92.1/99.3 %MVC), time to peak (514.2/525.6 ms), and increase of activity (182.8/182.1 %MVC/s). The SUI group showed a significantly slower activity decrease (−120.7/−74.4 %MVC/s). Conclusions FVC analyses were shown to be feasible. The significant difference observed between the groups did not refer to activity increase but instead to a prolonged relaxation phase in the SUI group. This prompts to reconsider the interpretation of FVC in PFM testing and training.

description: Spiritualität und Spiritual Care sind vielfach diskutiert im Gesundheitswesen. Einerseits fördern die Vorgaben der Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO die zunehmende Visibilität. Andererseits ist Spiritual Care in den Kompetenzkatalogen für die Ausbildung von ärztlichen und pflegerischen Fachpersonen verankert. Jedoch bestehen konkurrenzierende Definitionen zu Spiritualität und Spiritual Care. Außerdem spielen Spiritualität und Spiritual Care bei chronischen und anderen lebensbedrohlichen Erkrankungen vor allem am Lebensende eine Hauptrolle. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Bedeutsamkeit von Spiritualität und Spiritual Care für Menschen mit einer neuen Krebsdiagnose basierend auf einer Literaturübersicht darzustellen.Bereits mit der Krebsdiagnose wird Spiritualität für die Mehrheit der Betroffenen wichtig. Aufgrund der existenziellen Bedrohung durch die Krebserkrankung stellen sich Fragen zum Lebenssinn. Auf spirituelle Anliegen wird kaum eingegangen. Dabei wird das Wohlbefinden eingeschränkt oder es können sich Reaktionen bis zu Disstress oder Hadern einstellen. Bei spirituellen Anliegen kann Spiritual Care passende Antworten bieten und zur Erhaltung oder Förderung des Wohlbefindens beitragen. Es ist daher wichtig, dass bei Menschen mit einer neuen Krebserkrankung die spirituellen Bedürfnisse frühzeitig erhoben werden. Alle involvierten Fachpersonen sind aufgefordert, die spirituellen Bedürfnisse zu erfassen. Basierend auf diesen Angaben können schließlich passende unterstützende Spiritual Care Maßnahmen sowie Überweisungen an spezialisierte Fachpersonen angeboten werden.

description: La densification est l’action de rendre plus dense, généralement par la suppression de vides. Plusieurs méthodes de densification sont possibles pour le bois, les deux plus courantes étant l’imprégnation d’une résine synthétique suivie d’une compression du matériau (procédés tels que le Lignostone®) et la compression du matériau après un ramollissement par action chimique et/ou par chauffage. C’est le cas du bois densifié Thermo- Hydro-Mécanique (THM) qui est développé à la Haute école spécialisée bernoise à Bienne dans le cadre d’un projet Innosuisse.
description: Verdichtung ist eine Maßnahme, etwas zu komprimieren, in der Regel durch Entfernen von Hohlräumen. Für Holz sind mehrere Verdichtungsverfahren möglich. Die gebräuchlichsten sind die Imprägnierung mit einem Kunstharz sowie die Verdichtung des Materials mit z. B. einem Verfahren wie Lignostone® oder die Verdichtung des Materials nach der Aufweichung durch chemische Einwirkung und/oder Erwärmung. Dies ist der Fall beim verdichteten Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM)-Holz, das an der Berner Fachhochschule im Rahmen eines Innosuisse-Projekts entwickelt wird.

description: For guiding decisions on medical diagnoses and diagnoses, it is crucial to receive valid laboratory test results. However, such results can be implausible for the physician, even if the measurements are within the range of known reference values. There are technical sources of implausible results that are related to the laboratory environment, which are frequently not detected through usual measures for ensuring technical validity. Here, we describe the development of a quality assurance tool that tackles this problem and replaces the current manual statistical analyses at the Center for Laboratory Medicine in St Gallen (ZLM). Further analysis of the factors responsible for shifts in laboratory test results requires to collect and analyze data related to reagents as well as calibration or reference probes. Due to a lack of standard operating procedures in many laboratories with respect to these processes, this remains one of the big challenges.

description: The manuscript presents the application of NDT imaging techniques as complementary tools to be used during visual inspection. NDT imaging can be used to map inhomogeneity and to identify the areas at the highest risk for damage in timber structures. The paper highlights the potential of imaging techniques accepted and practiced for the assessment of timber structures. Multi-sensor approaches are presented and recommended for multi-scale, multi-resolution correlated information, which allow the non-destructive, reliable and fast assessment of damage and risk level in the existing timber structures.

description: Cassava (ManihotesculentaCrantz), a tuber crop, known to support rural communities for its caloric value and vast industrial applications, supports over 10,000 smallholder farmers in Tamil Nadu, India. Using quantitative and qualitative data collected from key informants along the industrial cassava market chain in Tamil Nadu, this paper analyses the market structure, supply, demand and market trends for industrially utilized cassava. This analysis is used to identify market constraints and opportunities amongst the value chain actors to support marketgrowth, with the goal of ultimately improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Tamil Nadu. Clear constraints were observed influencing market functions and actors. The industrial cassava industry is undergoing continual transition amidst pressurein an unregulated and fluctuating marketplace, additionally impacting demand trends. The market, composed of diverse production units relative to size and economical value, has become highly competitive resulting in constraints related to product quality and production methods. These constraints have direct impacts on farmers, who often take the greatest economical risk along the value chain. Key recommendations resulting from this research include further exploration of a regulated market, establishing industrial production standards, improving quality standards, and further development of marketing methods. Essential to these recommendations is a collaborative effort towards innovation along the entire value chain, as growth needs to be collectively pursued to ensure sustainable market function and fair distribution of rents.

description: Background: Body mass index (BMI), a well-known risk factor for poor cardiovascular outcomes, is associated with differential DNA methylation (DNAm). Similarly, metabolic health has also been associated with changes in DNAm. It is unclear how overall metabolic health outside of BMI may modify the relationship between BMI and methylation profiles, and what consequences this may have on downstream cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to identify cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites at which the association between BMI and DNAm could be modified by overall metabolic health. Results: The discovery study population was derived from three Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) ancillary studies (n = 3977) and two Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) ancillary studies (n = 3520). Findings were validated in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort (n = 1200). Generalized linear models regressed methylation β values on the interaction between BMI and metabolic health Z score (BMI × MHZ) adjusted for BMI, MHZ, cell composition, chip number and location, study characteristics, top three ancestry principal components, smoking, age, ethnicity (WHI), and sex (ARIC). Among the 429,566 sites examined, differential associations between BMI × MHZ and DNAm were identified at 22 CpG sites (FDR q < 0.05), with one site replicated in MESA (cg18989722, in the TRAPPC9 gene). Three of the 22 sites were associated with incident coronary heart disease (CHD) in WHI. For each 0.01 unit increase in DNAm β value, the risk of incident CHD increased by 9% in one site and decreased by 6–10% in two sites over 25 years. Conclusions: Differential associations between DNAm and BMI by MHZ were identified at 22 sites, one of which was validated (cg18989722) and three of which were predictive of incident CHD. These sites are located in several genes related to NF-kappa-B signaling, suggesting a potential role for inflammation between DNA methylation and BMI-associated metabolic health.

Finally, the particular habitat of the Porto Palo population of E. giacconei is noteworthy. As stated, that species was found in association with a bioconstruction of Sabellaria alveolata (Linnaeus, 1767) (Annelida, Polychaeta) (Fig. 5A, B), first observed in 2018 (Sanfilippo et al. 2020).
Periodic observations conducted in the last few years showed that the E. giacconei community is expanding (it currently covers an area of about 100 m 2 with a specific coverage of 80%). The relationship between S. alveolata and E. giacconei seems to be not casual but synergistic, and the two species intergrow, with the perennial portion of E. giacconei thalli seemingly protected by the surrounding permeable agglutinated worm structure (Fig. 5B). Further studies are underway to follow the evolution of the bioconstruction and E. giacconei population, ascertain the nature of main species relationships and assess the biodiversity of this distinctive association.

Formelles und informelles Aufgabenprofil in der ambulanten psychiatrischen Pflege aus Sicht von Pflegenden: Eine Meta-Synthese
Creators: name: Richter, Dirk

Year: 2009

description: Die ambulante psychiatrische Pflege gewinnt in der aktuellen psychiatrischen Versorgung eine zunehmende Bedeutung. Es mangelt jedoch an Material für die Aus- und Weiterbildung von psychiatrisch Pflegenden in diesem Sektor. Anhand einer Meta-Synthese qualitativer Originalarbeiten sind zentrale Bestandteile der Tätigkeit psychiatrisch Pflegender im ambulanten Bereich aus Sicht der Pflegenden identifiziert worden. Die Literaturrecherche ergab 12 Arbeiten, die den Einschlusskriterien (qualitative Studien bei ambulant psychiatrisch Pflegenden) genügten. Als zentrale Bestandteile wurden Tätigkeiten wie die Einschätzung des Gesundheitszustands und das Medikationsmanagement sowie pflegerisch-therapeutische Inhalte wie die Beziehungsgestaltung zu den Patienten identifiziert. Deutlich wurde dabei die Ambivalenz zwischen der mitmenschlichen Beziehung einerseits und den überwachenden pflegerischen Tätigkeiten andererseits. Es wird geschlussfolgert, dass sich die Ausbildung von Pflegenden im Bereich der ambulanten Psychiatrie nicht allein auf formelle Tätigkeiten konzentrieren darf, sondern informelle Verhaltensweisen sowie Schwierigkeiten und Problemfelder ebenfalls in die Curricula integriert werden sollten.

description: Background: Cardiovascular health (CVH) has been defined by the American Heart Association (AHA) as the presence of the “Life’s Simple 7” ideal lifestyle and clinical factors. CVH is known to predict longevity and freedom from cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death for women in the United States. DNA methylation markers of aging have been aggregated into a composite epigenetic age score, which is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, it is unknown whether poor CVH is associated with acceleration of aging as measured by DNA methylation markers in epigenetic age. Methods and results: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of racially/ethnically diverse post-menopausal women enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative cohort recruited between 1993 and 1998. Epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) was calculated using DNA methylation data on a subset of participants and the published Horvath and Hannum methods for intrinsic and extrinsic EAA. CVH was calculated using the AHA measures of CVH contributing to a 7-point score. We examined the association between CVH score and EAA using linear regression modeling adjusting for self-reported race/ethnicity and education. Among the 2,170 participants analyzed, 50% were white and mean age was 64 (7 SD) years. Higher or more favorable CVH scores were associated with lower extrinsic EAA (~ 6 months younger age per 1 point higher CVH score, p < 0.0001), and lower intrinsic EAA (3 months younger age per 1 point higher CVH score, p < 0.028). Conclusions: These cross-sectional observations suggest a possible mechanism by which ideal CVH is associated with greater longevity.

description: BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggest that certain dietary patterns and constituents may be beneficial to brain health. Airborne exposures to fine particulate matter [particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5)] are neurotoxic, but the combined effects of dietary patterns and PM2.5 have not been investigated. OBJECTIVES: We examined whether previously reported association between PM2.5 exposure and lower white matter volume (WMV) differed between women whose usual diet during the last 3 months before baseline was more or less consistent with a Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND)-like diet, a dietary pattern that may slow neurodegenerative changes. METHODS: This study included 1,302 U.S. women who were 65-79 y old and free of dementia in the period 1996-1998 (baseline). In the period 2005-2006, structural brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were performed to estimate normal-appearing brain volumes (excluding areas with evidence of small vessel ischemic disease). Baseline MIND diet scores were derived from a food frequency questionnaire. Three-year average PM2.5 exposure prior to MRI was estimated using geocoded participant addresses and a spatiotemporal model. RESULTS: Average total and temporal lobe WMVs were 0:74 cm3 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.001, 1.48) and 0:19 cm3 (95% CI: 0.002, 0.37) higher, respectively, with each 0.5-point increase in the MIND score and were 4:16 cm3 (95% CI: -6:99, -1:33) and 1:46 cm3 (95% CI: -2:16, -0:76) lower, respectively, with each interquartile range (IQR) (IQR = 3:22 μg/m3) increase in PM2.5. The inverse association between PM2.5 per IQR and WMV was stronger (p-interaction <0:001) among women with MIND scores below the median (for total WMV, -12:47 cm3; 95% CI: −17:17, −7:78), but absent in women with scores above the median (0:16 cm3; 95% CI: −3:41, 3.72), with similar patterns for WMV in the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. For total cerebral and hippocampus brain volumes or WMV in the corpus callosum, the associations with PM2.5 were not significantly different for women with high MIND scores and women with low MIND scores.
