title: Supplementary Material for: Impact of Serum Bicarbonate Levels on Muscle Mass and Kidney Function in Pre-Dialysis Chronic Kidney Disease Patients

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Treatment of metabolic acidosis to target the higher serum bicarbonate level than guideline recommendation may downregulate muscle protein degradation and improve renal function among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We conducted a study to test the effects of increased serum bicarbonate level on muscle parameters, nutrition, and renal function in pre-dialysis CKD patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This was a randomized, controlled study. CKD stage 3–4 patients with serum HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>–</sup> &lt;22 mEq/L were randomized to either receive oral sodium bicarbonate with high target bicarbonate level of 25 ± 1 or standard level of 22 ± 1 mEq/L as control group using protocol-based titration of dosage adjustment. The changes of muscle mass measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), muscle strength by hand grip dynamometer, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration equation, nutritional markers, and muscle-related biomarkers were determined. Data at baseline and after 4 months of sodium bicarbonate supplementation were compared between groups using Student <i>t</i> test or chi-square test as appropriate. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Forty-two patients completed the study (<i>n</i> = 21 per group). The mean age and eGFR were 61.2 ± 9.8 years and 32.4 ± 14.1 mL/min respectively. Serum bicarbonate levels at baseline were 21.0 ± 2.1 mEq/L. Baseline data including sex, diabetes, serum bicarbonate level, creatinine, and blood pressure were similar. After 4 months of treatment, the average serum bicarbonate levels in both groups were 24.0 ± 1.4 and 20.7 ± 2.3 mEq/L (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). Both BIA-derived total-body muscle mass and appendicular lean balance were increased at 4 months in the higher bicarbonate group (26.0 ± 5.3 to 26.7 ± 5.5 kg, <i>p</i> = 0.04 and 19.8 ± 4.1 to 20.7 ± 4.4 kg, <i>p</i> = 0.06, respectively) despite comparable body weight and protein intake. Patients in the high bicarbonate group had a significant reduction of plasma myostatin levels, a surrogate of muscle degradation, at the study exit after adjusting for baseline values (–3,137.8; 95% CI –6,235.3 to –40.4 pg/mL, <i>p</i>= 0.04), but unaltered insulin-like growth factor-1 level, as the mediator of muscle cell growth, (141 [106–156] to 110 [87–144] ng/mL, <i>p</i> = 0.13) compared to the control group. Muscle strength, eGFR as well as serum prealbumin were not significantly different between 2 groups (<i>p</i> &gt; 0.05). Neither worsening hypertension nor congestive heart failure was found throughout the study. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Bicarbonate supplementation to achieve the serum level ∼24 mEq/L demonstrates better muscle mass preservation in patients with pre-dialysis CKD. The impact of alkaline therapy on renal function may require a longer period of study.

title: Supplementary Material for: Water-soluble vitamins stability by robust liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

description: Introduction: The measurement of water-soluble vitamins is essential to diagnose and monitor various vitamin deficiencies. Establishing stability limits for these vitamins is crucial to ensure accurate laboratory testing. This study aimed to assess the stability of commonly measured water-soluble vitamins under different storage conditions to improve the accuracy of water-soluble vitamin measurement.
Methods: The stabilities of thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinamide, pantothenic acid, pyridoxic acid and pyridoxal, biotin, 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF), and ascorbic acid were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. We investigated three pre-analytical factors: the effect of different temperatures and time durations on serum stability, variation between serum and plasma samples, and the impact of transferring samples to an ice bath before serum separation. We evaluated stability based on differences from the baseline.
Results: Thiamine, pyridoxal, and ascorbic acid in serum exhibited instability at room temperature and 2–8℃. Riboflavin and 5-MTHF in serum were only stable for up to 48 and 72 h at 2–8℃. However, when stored at -20℃, all water-soluble vitamins remained stable for up to 72 h, whereas at -80℃, stability was maintained for up to 7 days. All vitamins in whole blood, except nicotinamide, were stable for up to 2–4 h when stored in an ice bath. 
Conclusions: Water-soluble vitamins, such as thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxal, and ascorbic acid, are unstable at room temperature and 2–8℃. All vitamins were stable for up to 7 days and stored at -80℃. The ice bath improved the stability of whole blood samples before centrifugation. Thus, laboratories should ensure appropriate storage conditions to maintain pre-analytical quality for vitamin measurements.

title: Lab 2: sampling of plant populations and communities (dataset 4)

description: The purpose of the experiment is to sample the plant population and communities by using quadracts, transects and trait sampling techniques. The experiment was done at the woodlots and the grassland at York University on Friday 26, at 2:30 pm. A group of two members included Laiba Khan and Simmy. The temperature recorded was approximately 23 degree celcius with a very warm and dry woodlot. 10 adult trees of Yellow Birch species were selected to observe and record the data. The diameter of the adult trees and the saplings were recorded in feet’s and inches at breast height by using a transect tape. The distance of adult tree to the sapling was measured in feet’s by holding each end of the tape from the middle of each tree trunk. The units of the recorded data were later converted from feet’s to meters. The percentage of canopy coverage was estimated by making a square with the index finger and thumb and pointing it towards the sky and tree. The area covered by the sky was recorded by looking through the square.

title: Flume experiments to investigate the influence of cohesive clay on wave-current ripple dynamcis

description: Large-scale flume experiments were conducted in the Total Environment Simulator at the University of Hull in order to study ripple dynamics in mixed sand–clay substrates under combined flows. This dataset provides detailed information of ripple development under two different wave-current conditions, recording by Ultrasonic Range System (URS), from beds with the initial clay content between 0% and 18.3%. In addition, the results of grain size analysis, using Malvern Mastersizer 2000, from sediment cores collected during the experiments are included, showing vertical change in clay content with ripple evolution. Moreover, hydrodynamic data including near-bed flow velocities monitored by Vectrino Profilers are also in the present dataset.

title: Data for: <b>Long-term wetland biomonitoring highlights the different impacts of anthropogenically induced factors on regional macroinvertebrate diversity in Dongting Lake, China</b>

description: Freshwater wetlands, as sentinels of global changes in the Anthropocene, have experienced disproportionate biodiversity loss. However, a lack of long-term biological indicator data limited our understanding of wetland biodiversity dynamics and principal drivers. Here, we combined one of the longest aquatic biomonitoring datasets in China with satellite-derived imagery and spatial-explicit analysis during the most recent portion of the Anthropocene, from 1988 to 2017. Three possible paths were hypothesized, including "land-water connection," "climate change," and "river-lake connection". The results revealed declining macroinvertebrate alpha diversity but increased beta diversity. An increase in nutrients due to changes in human land-use intensity in the surrounding terrestrial ecosystem was the primary mechanism for the losses of macroinvertebrate species and functional groups. Alpha diversity changes were most influenced by land-use changes in land buffers 1.5 km from the sampling sites, while beta diversity was significantly affected within 50 m. Our results suggest the need to attenuate local land-use effects by establishing protected buffer areas to protect biodiversity in the future.

title: Supplementary Material for: The Expression of CCAT2, a Novel Long Noncoding RNA Transcript, and rs6983267 Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Genotypes in Colorectal Cancers

description: Colon cancer-associated transcription 2 (<i>CCAT2</i>) was recently identified as a novel long noncoding RNA transcript encompassing the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs6983267. <i>CCAT2</i> is overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) where it promotes tumor growth, metastasis, and chromosomal instability, although the clinical relevance of this enhanced expression is unknown. In this retrospective study, <i>CCAT2</i> expression was evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction in 149 CRC patients, and its associations with clinicopathological characteristics, outcome, rs6983267 genotypes, microsatellite status, DNA ploidy, and <i>BubR1</i> expression were analyzed. <i>CCAT2</i> expression in cancer tissue was significantly higher than in noncancer tissue (<i>p </i>&lt; 0.001), particularly in cases of metastatic cancer (<i>p </i>&lt; 0.001). However, relative <i>CCAT2</i> expression levels and rs6983267 genotypes were not correlated with clinicopathological features or patient prognosis. CRC cases demonstrating high <i>CCAT2</i> expression were all microsatellite stable (<i>p </i>&lt; 0.005). Together, this indicates that <i>CCAT2</i> expression was associated with microsatellite-stable CRC.

title: Predicting Outcomes from First Session Interactions in Remote Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Severe Health Anxiety

description: This is the SPSS 24 dataset and the SPSS syntax used for the analysis. The syntax files provides guidance notes for each stage of analysis.<br>Background. Remote therapy is growing following the COVID-19 epidemic and there are calls to better understand therapeutic processes. Remotely deliver Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (rCBT) for severe health anxiety (SHA) is evidenced as clinically effective, but many who seek help do not benefit. Key interaction-types at the first CBT session predict outcomes in other anxiety disorders, but it is unclear what early interaction-types may be helpful (or hindering) in CBT for SHA. Method. Two trained raters blind to outcome used audio-visual recordings and transcripts to rate each interaction in the first session of CBT for SHA amongst 42 high service utilizers with multimorbidity and SHA. The Consultation Interaction Coding Scheme (CICS) was used to categorize and rate each interaction on the basis of patient activation: a patient’s confidence and perceived ability to manage their own health. Sessions were also assessed using the observer-rated working alliance inventory (WAI-O). Multilevel modelling was used to estimate the predictive validity of CICS and WAI-O scores on health anxiety over 12-month follow-up. Results. Client who gave more positive evaluations of themselves, therapy, or their therapist at the first session showed great reductions in health anxiety across 12-month follow up. Clients more actively engaged in session structuring interactions at the first session also showed greater outcome improvements. Conversely, larger proportions of session 1 spent describing problems predicted poorer outcomes. Models controlled for working alliance and baseline severity. Conclusions. Clients’ involvement in therapeutically active interactions at the first session could contribute to improved outcomes in CBT for SHA.<br>

title: Supplementary Material for: Comparison of the audiological knowledge of three chatbots – ChatGPT, Bing Chat, and Bard

description: Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate three chatbots – OpenAI ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing Chat (currently Copilot), and Google Bard (currently Gemini) – in terms of their responses to a defined set of audiological questions. 
Methods: Each chatbot was presented with the same 10 questions. The authors rated the responses on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. Additional features, such as the number of inaccuracies or errors and the provision of references, were also examined.
Results: Most responses given by all three chatbots were rated as satisfactory or better. However all chatbots generated at least a few errors or inaccuracies. ChatGPT achieved the highest overall score, while Bard was the worst. Bard was also the only chatbot unable to provide a response to one of the questions. ChatGPT was the only chatbot that did not provide information about its sources. 
Conclusions: Chatbots are an intriguing tool that can be used to access basic information in a specialized area like audiology. Nevertheless, one needs to be careful, as correct information is not infrequently mixed in with errors that are hard to pick up unless the user is well versed in the field.

title: Supplementary Material for: Patients' Characteristics Affect the Survival Benefit of Warfarin Treatment for Hemodialysis Patients with Atrial Fibrillation. A Historical Cohort Study

description: <i>Background:</i> Stroke prevention in dialysis-dependent patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is an unresolved clinical dilemma. Indeed, no randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of oral anticoagulants in this population, has been conducted so far. Observational research on the use of warfarin in patients on dialysis has shown conflicting results. This uncertainty is mirrored by the wide variations in warfarin prescription patterns across centers. We sought to evaluate the association between the use of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) and mortality among hemodialysis patient with AF and to assess potential factors affecting the risk-benefit profile of warfarin in this population. <i>Methods:</i> A total of 91,987 patients registered in the European Clinical Dialysis Database® system from January 2004 to January 2015. Of which, 9,238 patients were identified with a diagnosis of AF. After excluding ineligible patients, a 1:1 propensity score matched cohort of 1,324 warfarin users and non-users were assembled. <i>Results:</i> VKA use was associated with both increased 90-day survival (hazard ratio, HR 0.47, p &lt; 0.01) and 6-year survival (HR 0.76, p &lt; 0.01); however, a trend indicated a stronger early benefit (p for time-interaction &lt;0.01). Moderation analysis showed that patients' age and clinical history of stroke strongly influenced warfarin-related benefits on survival. <i>Conclusion:</i> VKA may provide an early survival benefit; however, this is partially offset later during the follow-up. In addition, heterogeneous risk-benefit profiles were observed among subgroups of dialysis-dependent patients with AF, further emphasizing the complexities of tailoring stroke prevention strategies in this population.

title: The grand bargain on local government debt: Evidence from China's intergovernmental relations

description: This article uses Rubinstein’s bargaining theoretical framework to explore the link between intergovernmental relations and levels of local government debt. Utilizing the two-tier bilateral stochastic frontier method on provincial and Chinese municipal data from 2013 to 2021, the authors assess the impact of relative bargaining power on local government debt risk governance. The local government debt risk formation process is shown to be the consequence of the central government’s concession, and is affected by dynamic economic conditions.

title: Supplementary Material for: Analysis of fractional cerebral oxygen extraction in preterm infants during the kangaroo care.

description: Introduction: We aimed to investigate the cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FtOE) during kangaroo care (KC) in premature infants and compare cardiorespiratory stability and hypoxic or bradycardic events between KC and incubator care. Methods: A single center prospective observational study was carried out at the NICU of a level III perinatal center. Preterm infants &lt; 32 weeks gestational age were subjected to KC. Patients were subjected to continuous monitoring of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), and heart rate (HR) during KC, before KC (pre-KC), and after KC (post-KC). The monitoring data were stored and exported to MATLAB for synchronization and signal analysis including the calculation of the FtOE and events analysis (i.e., desaturations and bradycardias counts and anormal values). Furthermore, the event counts and the mean SpO2, HR, rScO2, and FtOE were compared between studied periods employing the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and the Friedman test, respectively. Results: A total of forty-three KC sessions with their corresponding pre-KC and post-KC segments were analyzed. The distributions of the SpO2, HR, rScO2, and FtOE showed different patterns according to the respiratory support, but not differences between the studied periods were detected. Accordingly, no significant differences in monitoring events were evidenced. However, cerebral metabolic demand (FtOE) was significantly lower during KC compared with post-KC (p=0.019). Discussion/Conclusion: Premature infants remain clinically stable during KC. Moreover, cerebral oxygenation is significantly higher and cerebral tissular oxygen extraction is significantly lower during KC compared with incubator care in post-KC. No differences in HR and SpO2 were shown. This novel data analysis methodology could be expanded to other clinical situations.
