title: The ototoxic potential of cobalt from metal-on-metal hip implants: a pilot study on the patient-reported auditory, vestibular, and general neurological outcome

description: This study aimed to systematically investigate the ototoxic potential of cobalt in patients with a metal-on-metal (MoM) hip implant, using objective auditory and vestibular assessments and a questionnaire. The results of the objective evaluation were published previously, whereas the current study focused on the questionnaire outcome and its relationship to the blood cobalt level. <b>Design and study sample:</b> Twenty patients (33–65 years) with a primary MoM hip implant and 20 non-implanted control subjects, matched for age, gender, and noise exposure, received a questionnaire to evaluate the presence of several hearing and balance symptoms (part 1) and general neurological issues (part 2). Concerning part 1, the proportion of auditory-related symptoms in general (<i>p</i> = 0.022) and tinnitus (<i>p</i> = 0.047) was significantly higher in the MoM patient group, whereas no group difference was found for hyperacusis, increased listening effort, and decreased speech understanding. Concerning part 2, no significant group differences were detected. Within the MoM patient group, the questionnaire outcome was not significantly different between the low-exposure and high-exposure subgroups according to the blood Co level. In line with our previous study, these results potentially imply Co-induced impairment to the auditory system, despite the lack of a clear dose–response relationship.

title: Changing patient profile, hearing aid use and disability among first-time hearing aid users in Singapore over a decade

description: To examine the time trends in demographics, hearing characteristics, hearing aid (HA) choices, usage and patient-reported disability among first-time HA users in Singapore over a decade. Cross-sectional study. <b>Study sample:</b> 1052 subjects issued with HAs at a tertiary hospital from 2004 to 2013. An increase in number of first time HA users were seen from 2004 to 2013. Although mean age did not change significantly, the proportion of older adults (&gt;80 years) being fitted increased (<i>p</i> for trend = 0.033). Inflation adjusted cost of HAs rose over time (<i>p</i> 7 hours daily (AOR = 0.45, 95% CI 0.34–0.59) was seen. From 2004 to 2013, there was a positive trend towards HA uptake in Singapore. Bilateral HA uptake increased while customisable in ear type of HA use decreased. While hearing disability showed a decreasing trend, HA usage remained suboptimal.

title: Postural instability in children with severe inner ear malformations: Characteristics of vestibular and balance function

description: To investigate the postural instability and vestibular functions in children with severe inner ear malformations (IEMs). A prospective case-control study. The study group consisted of 10 children using unilateral auditory brainstem implant (ABI) with labyrinthine aplasia or rudimentary otocyst. The age-matched control groups consisted of 10 unilateral cochlear implant (CI) users with normal inner ear structures and 10 healthy peers. All tests were performed to implant users when the implants were off. All median VOR gains in the ABI group (median anterior, lateral, and posterior canal 0.15, 0.05, and 0.05, respectively, for the non-implanted sides) were significantly lower than those of the control groups (median VOR gains ≥ 0.90 in both control groups). There were no oVEMP and cVEMP responses in the study group. The mean BOT-2 balance scores of the ABI (3.70 ± 1.34) group was dramatically lower than those of the CI (9.40 ± 2.88) and healthy control (16.20 ± 4.16, <i>p</i> The postural instability in children with severe IEMs was higher than those in CI users with normal inner ear structures and healthy peers. The level of deficiency in the labyrinthine was more important for postural stability in children.

title: The TinMan study: feasibility trial of a psychologically informed, audiologist-delivered, manualised intervention for tinnitus

description: To develop a manualised psychological treatment for tinnitus that could enhance audiologist usual care, and to test feasibility of evaluating it in a randomised controlled trial. Feasibility trial, random allocation of patients to manualised treatment or treatment as usual, and mixed-methods evaluation. <b>Study sample:</b> Senior audiologists, and adults with chronic tinnitus. Recruitment reached 63% after 6 months (feasibility pre-defined as 65%). Only nine patients (47%) were retained for the duration of the trial. Patients reported that the treatment was acceptable and helped reassure them about their tinnitus. Audiologists reported mixed feelings about the kinds of techniques that are presented to them as ‘psychologically informed’. Audiologists also reported lacking confidence because the training they had was brief, and stated that more formal supervision would have been helpful to check adherence to the treatment manual. The study indicate potential barriers to audiologist use of the manual, and that a clinical trial of the intervention is not yet feasible. However, positive indications from outcome measures suggest that further development work would be worthwhile. Refinements to the manual are indicated, and training and supervision arrangements to better support audiologists to use the intervention in the clinic are required. <b>Trial Registration:</b> ISRCTN13059163.

title: Continuous precipitation and stream chemistry data, Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study, 1963 – present.

description: The Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study officially began on 1 June 1963. This archive contains HBWatER, the results of &gt;50 years of collection and analysis of weekly stream water and precipitation samples obtained from 1 June 1963 to the most recently approved water year. Stream chemistry is reported for nine gauged watersheds and the mainstem of Hubbard Brook. Precipitation chemistry is reported for rain collectors on both the north facing and south facing slopes of the Hubbard Brook valley. All solute data are reported as concentrations in (mg/l). HBWatER originated with the idea of applying the small watershed approach to study element flux and cycling through intact ecosystems. These chemical data have been used in conjunction with continuous streamflow and precipitation records to estimate watershed biogeochemical inputs and outputs. Such records have been instrumental in: identifying the existence and the impact of acid rain and then documenting its decline and legacy impacts on forested watersheds; documenting the effects of deforestation and natural forest disturbance on ecosystem nutrient exports; and in constructing element budgets for ecosystems over succession. Hundreds of published papers have taken advantage of HBWatER to understand how elements cycle through ecosystems. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.

title: Adherence to healthy dietary patterns and outcomes of assisted reproduction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

description: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between adherence to a healthy dietary pattern and outcomes of assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs). PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were searched for eligible studies through December 2019 according to the population, intervention, comparison, outcome and study design (PICOS) criteria. Eight prospective cohort studies (S) reporting pregnancy outcomes (O) of higher <i>vs</i> lower adherence to a healthy dietary pattern (I/C) in women undergoing ART treatment (P) were included, involving a total of 2229 women with 2067 embryo transfer cycles. The pooled odds ratio (OR) for positive pregnancy test, clinical pregnancy and ongoing pregnancy/live birth was 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.65–1.03), 0.99 (95% CI 0.68–1.44) and 1.30 (95% CI 0.81–2.09), respectively. In conclusion, greater adherence to a healthy dietary pattern rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and fish, may not be significantly related to ART success.

title: Impact of dietary propionate on fructose-induced changes in lipid metabolism, gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids in mice

description: Propionate has antimicrobial activity and is suggested to influence lipid metabolism. Here, we investigated the effect of propionate on lipid metabolism and the gut microbiome in fructose-fed mice as a model of diet-induced steatosis and gut dysbiosis. Therefore, 48 male wild-type mice were fed isoenergetic diets with either 0% fructose (F–) or 40% fructose (F+) that contained 0% propionate (P–) or 1% propionate (P+) for 7 weeks. Mice that received the F+ diets developed fatty livers, had fewer small intestinal proteobacteria and colonic actinobacteria and were characterised by changes in bacterial genera (e.g., <i>Allobaculum</i>, <i>Lachnospiraceae</i>, and <i>Escherichia</i>). Interestingly, mice fed the F+ diets had higher levels of propionate and butyrate in the circulation than mice fed the F– diets (<i>p</i> Verrucomicrobia, other bacterial phyla were not affected by propionate.

title: The numerical results for the complexity of the quantum algorithm for dynamic programming on n-dimensional lattice graph

description: This is a data set for the paper "Quantum speedups for dynamic programming on n-dimensional lattice graphs", with the full version available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.14384. Each file SolverDAKB.nb contains the Mathematica code to find the complexity of the quantum algorithm for D=A, K=B. The solution for the corresponding can be read from the result of the minimization (after the line opt = NMinimize[args,{...}]). The variables from the Mathematica files correspond to the values in the paper as follows: Td corresponds to T<sub>d</sub>. akd corresponds to α<sub>k,d</sub>. R00 corresponds to x; Rki corresponds to x<sub>k,i</sub>. At the end of each file, a list of the differences between the constraints is given. In all results, the negative differences (which correspond to constraint violation) are negligible (e.g, 10<sup>-7</sup>) and can be eliminated by adding some small values to the point found by the minimization.

title: Correlating Indoor and Outdoor Temperature and Humidity in a Sample of Buildings in Tropical Climates

description: The incidence of several respiratory viral infections has been shown to be related to climate. Because humans spend most of their time indoors, measures of indoor climate, rather than outdoor climate, may be better predictors of disease incidence and transmission. Therefore, understanding the relationship between indoor and outdoor climate will help illuminate their influence on the seasonality of diseases caused by respiratory viruses. Indoor-outdoor relationships between temperature and humidity have been documented in temperate regions, but little information is available for tropical regions, where seasonal patterns of respiratory viral diseases differ. We have examined indoor-outdoor correlations of temperature, relative humidity (<i>RH</i>), and absolute humidity (<i>AH</i>) over a 1-year period in each of seven tropical cities. Across all cities, the average monthly indoor temperature was 25±3°C (mean ± standard deviation) with a range of 20–30°C. The average monthly indoor <i>RH</i> was 66±9% with a range of 50–78%, and the average monthly indoor <i>AH</i> was 15±3 g/m<sup>3</sup> with a range of 10–23 g/m<sup>3</sup>. Indoor <i>AH</i> and <i>RH</i> were linearly correlated with outdoor <i>AH</i> when the air-conditioning (AC) was off, suggesting that outdoor <i>AH</i> may be a good proxy of indoor humidity in the absence of AC. All indoor measurements were more strongly correlated with outdoor measurements as distance from the equator increased. Such correlations were weaker during the wet season, especially when AC was in operation. These correlations will provide insight for assessing the seasonality of respiratory viral infections using outdoor climate data, which is more widely available than indoor data, even though transmission of these diseases mainly occurs indoors.
