title: Robotic-assisted versus standard laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer in obese patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

description: Colorectal cancer represents a major global health concern and obesity adds complicates its surgical management. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted surgery and standard laparoscopic surgery in obese colorectal cancer patients. A comprehensive literature search performed across databases from inception to April 2024. Pooled estimates included hospital stay duration, drainage tube removal time, first ventilation time, complication rates, re-admission rates and re-operative rates. Six studies involving 4215 patients were included. Robotic-assisted surgery was associated with a statistically significant but modest reduction in hospital stay time compared to laparoscopic surgery (<i>p</i> = 0.02). No significant differences were found for drainage tube removal time (<i>p</i> = 0.42) and first ventilation time (<i>p</i> = 0.27). Complication rates (OR [odds ratio] = 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.74 to 1.13, <i>p</i> = 0.41), re-admission rates (OR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.31 to 2.13, <i>p</i> = 0.67) and re-operative rates (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 0.77 to 1.86, <i>p</i> = 0.41) did not significantly differ between surgical approaches. Robotic-assisted surgery significantly provides a modest reduction in hospital stay duration without compromising patient safety for obese colorectal cancer patients. These findings should be interpreted with caution. Future randomized controlled trials are required to confirm these results.

title: A Two-Step Robust Estimation Approach for Inferring Within-Person Relations in Longitudinal Design: Tutorial and Simulations

description: Psychological researchers have shown an interest in disaggregating within-person variability from between-person differences. This paper provides a tutorial, simulation, and illustrative example of a new approach proposed by Usami (2023). This approach consists of a two-step procedure: <i>within-person variability scores</i> (WPVS) for each person, which are disaggregated from the stable traits of that person, are predicted using structural equation modeling, and causal parameters are then estimated <i>via</i> a potential outcome approach, such as by using structural nested mean models (SNMMs). This method has several advantages: (i) the flexible inclusion of curvilinear and interaction effects for WPVS as latent variables in treatment and outcome models, (ii) more accurate estimates of causal parameters for reciprocal relations can be obtained under certain conditions owing to them being doubly robust, even if unobserved time-varying confounders and model misspecifications exist, (iii) no models for (the distributions of) observed time-varying confounders are needed for estimation, and (iv) the risk of obtaining improper solutions is reduced. Estimation performances are investigated through large-scale simulations and it shows that the proposed approach works well in many conditions if longitudinal data with T≥4 are available. An analytic example using data from the Tokyo Teen Cohort (TTC) study is also provided.

title: Utility or futility? Toward an operational definition of addiction ‘recovery’

description: The ‘recovery’ construct has received growing scrutiny over the past 20 years as individuals and organizations have tried to define what ‘recovery’ is, or should contain, as something distinct from remission. Yet, despite goals to improve definitional clarity and utility, confusion has persisted hindering attainment of objective epidemiological recovery prevalence rates, as well as its utility as a helpful decision tool in important legal and social determinations (e.g. child custody). We argue that the basis for confusion lies in four major areas: 1. Whether we are talking about an objective vs subjective definition; 2. What elements should be included in an operational definition at what threshold for what duration; and, whether abstinence or remission should be the basis - or even part - of a such a definition; 3. Whether we are describing recovery as a process vs a categorical endpoint (‘in recovery’ vs ‘not in recovery’), similar to remission, or both; and 4. Who cares? To what end and for whom are we endeavoring to operationally define recovery and what ultimate added clinical and public health utility is there in a formal definition. This paper describes the background surrounding the creation of the initial formal descriptive recovery definition and discusses these points in the hope of decreasing confusion and increasing future definitional utility. In conclusion, it is argued that for the purposes of estimating objective recovery prevalence and in guiding important social determinations, only narrower definitions may be feasible, with more elaborate multidimensional definitions being reserved for descriptive purposes.

title: Reassessment of the status of some European and Asian Melitaea taxa described as subspecies of Melitaea phoebe ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), with designations of lectotypes where appropriate (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Russell, Peter J. C., Lukhtanov, Vladimir A., Tennent, W. John (2022): Reassessment of the status of some European and Asian Melitaea taxa described as subspecies of Melitaea phoebe ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), with designations of lectotypes where appropriate (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). Zootaxa 5141 (1): 25-38, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.1.2AbstractMorphological characters of value in distinguishing Melitaea phoebe from M. ornata are exemplified from photographs of specimens from sympatric and partially synchronic populations in the Russian Federation and Slovenia. Type material of a number of subspecies classified as M. phoebe have been examined and confirmed as being subspecies of M. phoebe or as subspecies of either M. ornata or M. telona. Larval and adult morphology of M. telona is very similar to those of M. ornata, making morphological separation difficult. Distribution of M. telona forms a major criterion for separation. Lectotypes are designated for amanica Rebel, 1917 and dorae Graves, 1925. The name enoch Higgins, 1941 is recognised as a distinct species and the names abbas Gross & Ebert, 1975 and zagrosi Tóth & Varga, 2011 synonymised with Melitaea enoch.

title: Biogeography and taxonomy of Ophiuroidea (Echinodermata) from the Îles Saint- Paul and Amsterdam in the southern Indian Ocean

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article O’Hara, Timothy D., Thuy, Ben (2022): Biogeography and taxonomy of Ophiuroidea (Echinodermata) from the Îles Saint- Paul and Amsterdam in the southern Indian Ocean. Zootaxa 5124 (1): 1-49, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5124.1.1AbstractThe ophiuroid fauna of the Île Amsterdam and Île Saint-Paul territories (SPA) is reviewed. Four new species are described: Ophiolebes felli, Ophiolebes paulensis, Ophiocomina arnaudi and Amphiura remota. Recent phylogenetic results required a partial reorganisation of Ophiacanthidae and Amphiuridae genera, including the transfer of some Ophiacantha and Ophiomitrella species to a new genus Ophiosabine (O. rosea, O. anomala, O. aristata, O. cuspidata, O. densispina, O. nodosa, O. notata, O. parcita, O. pentactis, O. vivipara, O. wolfarntzi) and existing genera Ophiosemnotes (O. conferta, O. ingrata, O. corynephora, O. clavigera, O. hamata) and Ophiolebes (O. yaldwyni), Ophiacantha spectabilis to Ophiotreta in the Ophiotomidae, and some Amphioplus species to Amphiura (A, acutus, A. ctenacantha, A. cipus). The combination Ophiophycis nixastrum is restored. The SPA endemic species Ophiocten lymani and Amphiura brevispina, and the southern Australian/ New Zealand species Ophiactis cuspidata and Ophiocten australis, are recognised as valid species. The North Atlantic species Ophiura ljungmani, Ophiacantha veterna, Ophiosabine cuspidata, Ophiolimna bairdi and Ophiactis nidarosiensis are recorded from the southern Indian Ocean. Shallow water specimens of Ophiura ljungmani from the Western Atlantic are re-identified as O. fallax and O. acervata. The monotypic Ophiothauma heptactis from northern Australia is synonymised with Ophiocomella sexradia and thus the genus Ophiothauma with Ophiocomella. The biogeography of the ophiuroid fauna reflects the position of the islands near the eastward-flowing currents of the South Indian Ocean gyre. The closest affinities are with faunas in the SW Indian Ocean and SE Atlantic Ocean. Despite its proximity, no species are shared with the Kerguelen Plateau to the south. The large temperature gradient across the subtropical front between Île Saint-Paul and Kerguelen appears to be a distribution limit for littoral and upper bathyal invertebrates.

title: Earthworm species in different land use systems in the state of Goiás and the Federal District of Brazil

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ferreira, Talita, Niva, Cintia C., Dudas, Rafaela, Roani, Rodrigo, Durães, Natália, Marchão, Robélio Leandro, James, Samuel Wooster, Bartz, Marie L. C., Brown, George G. (2023): Earthworm species in different land use systems in the state of Goiás and the Federal District of Brazil. Zootaxa 5255 (1): 283-303, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5255.1.24, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5255.1.24AbstractThe state of Goiás and the Federal District together cover an area of about 346 thousand km 2, including the diversified Cerrado vegetation, also known as the Brazilian Savanna, a biodiversity hotspot with many endangered and endemic species. Much of the Cerrado has been converted to agriculture, but little is known of its earthworms, and the impacts of land use management and agricultural practices on their density and diversity. In the present paper we review the known earthworm species in Goiás and the Federal District based on historical and museum records, and update information on their distribution and populations in different counties and land use systems with data from recent samplings. Five additional species are reported here for the first time, raising the total to 12 species currently known from Goiás, from the families Benhamiidae (1), Glossoscolecidae (1), Megascolecidae (3), Ocnerodrilidae (2) and Rhinodrilidae (5). In the Federal District, an additional 10 species are reported, bringing the total to 23 earthworm species, belonging to the families Benhamiidae (4), Eudrilidae (1), Glossoscolecidae (2), Ocnerodrilidae (1), Lumbricidae (2), Megascolecidae (1) and Rhinodrilidae (12). Native species in Goiás (6) were found in areas with lesser disturbance, such as in native forest and flooded areas/river banks, a phenomenon also observed in the Federal District. On the other hand, the exotic and peregrine species found in Goiás (6) and in the Federal District (9) dominated in disturbed sites, such as perennial crops, agroforestry, annual crops, urban areas, secondary forests, pastures and agropastoral systems, among others. Given the many new species found and the extension of Goiás and the Federal District, further effort is needed to adequately characterize the earthworm fauna of the region, from where many other species are expected.
