title: Simulation data for the step-by-step verification of PIC-MCC codes from VKI and LPP

description: This dataset contains the results of PIC-MCC simulations of a 2D plasma in a box in 7 test cases with different boundary conditions. The results can be used to verify the correct implementation of PIC and MCC routines. The simulations are performed using the LPPic code, developed at the Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas (LPP) at École polytechnique, and with Pantera, developed at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI).

CrossSections.zip contains the cross-sections used in the simulations in tabulated form. The first column is the collision energy in the center-of-mass frame in [eV]. The second column is the cross-section in [m²]. The cross-section for elastic e−H and electron impact excitation are taken from the Morgan database on LXCat (https://nl.lxcat.net). The cross sections for H+−H elastic and charge exchange collisions are taken from the tabulated data in Schultz et al.. The ionization cross section corresponds to the fit of Janev et al., but the energy has been scaled down by a factor of 10 for practical reasons.

DensityTemporalProfiles_xxx.csv contain the temporal evolution of the mean electron and ion density, normalized to the initial density. The data from VKI also contains the corresponding confidence interval estimates.

DensitySpatialProfiles_xxx.csv contain the spatial profiles along the x-coordinate (x in [0,1]m) of the electron and ion densities at the lat time step (t = 5 μs), spatially avergaed in the interval 0.4 m < y < 0.6 m. The data from VKI also contains the corresponding confidence interval estimates.

ResultsComparison.zip contains the temporal history of many domain-integrated quantities (number of particles, total momentum, energies, ...) for each run of each test case using both codes.

ErrorQuantification.zip contains the results of the same integrated quantities, in addition to a final snapshot of the simulation domain, for each test case at three progressive levels of refinement, obtained using the VKI code. These data has been used to compute the confidence intervals for temporal and spatial quantities.

DensityConvergenceRate.pdf contains plots of the effective convergence rate for the mean density of electrons and ions as a function of time for all test cases, computed using the VKI code.

title: Preparing educational presentation about therapeutic exercises to resident physiatrists

description: This study evaluated the effectiveness of ChatGPT-4o, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) platform, in preparing educational presentation on therapeutic exercises specifically designed for physiatry residents. Both a physiatry expert and ChatGPT-4 created PowerPoint slides for a presentation on therapeutic exercises using the same reputable sources. Two other physiatry experts, blinded to the origin of the presentation and each other's scores, independently assessed both presentations using four of the CLEAR criteria (completeness, lack of false information, appropriateness, and relevance).

Statistical analyses confirmed the interrater reliability. The average scores of the expert-prepared slides were significantly higher than those of the AI-prepared slides. However, when assessing the presentations as a whole, no statistically significant difference emerged between the average AI and expert scores. The overall scores of the AI-prepared slides were rated between good and excellent, while the expert-prepared slides were rated as excellent. Similarly, when assessing the presentations as a whole, the AI performed good whereas expert performed excellent. Upon evaluating the variability within the model for the assessed criteria, it was found that the AI ranked highest in relevance, whereas the expert ranked highest in terms of lack of false information.

These findings indicated that although ChatGPT-4o can produce effective educational content, the expert still outperformed AI. This underscores the importance of professional oversight in maintaining the educational quality of resident physician training. Furthermore, fostering collaboration between humans and AI can lead to enhanced educational outcomes in the field.

title: Supplementary Material for: Jackhammer esophagus as a complication of tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy: A case report

description: Introduction. Tonsillectomy is a safe and common procedure. It has not been associated with the development of hypercontractile conditions of the esophagus. Jackhammer esophagus is a type of hypercontractile esophagus with vigorous contraction of the esophagus associated with dysphagia and chest pain.
Case Presentation. A 42 year old woman with no previous history of gastroesophageal dysfunction or symptoms developed Jackhammer esophagus with severe dysphagia and chest pain after undergoing tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
Conclusion. Although Jackhammer esophagus has been reported as a complication of several invasive procedures, this is the first report of Jackhammer esophagus as a complication of tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

title: Supplementary Material for: Pore-forming toxin-like proteins in the anti-parasitoid immune response of Drosophila

description: Introduction: Species of the ananassae subgroup of Drosophilidae are highly resistant to parasitoid wasp infections. We have previously shown that the genes encoding Cytolethal Distending Toxin B (CdtB) and the Apoptosis Inducing Protein of 56 kDa (AIP56) were horizontally transferred to these fly species from prokaryotes and are now instrumental in the anti-parasitoid immune defense of Drosophila ananassae. Here we describe a new family of genes, which encode proteins with Hemolysin E domains, heretofore only identified in prokaryotes. Hemolysin E proteins are pore-forming toxins, important virulence factors of bacteria. Methods: Bioinformatical, transcriptional and protein expressional studies were used. Results: The hemolysin E-like genes have a scattered distribution among the genomes of species belonging to several different monophyletic lineages in the family Drosophilidae. We detected structural homology with the bacterial Hemolysin E toxins and showed that the origin of the D. ananassae hemolysin E-like genes (hl1-38) is consistent with prokaryotic horizontal gene transfer. These genes encode humoral factors, secreted into the hemolymph by the fat body and hemocytes. Their expression is induced solely by parasitoid infection and the proteins bind to the developing parasitoids. Conclusions: Hemolysin E-like proteins acquired by horizontal gene transfer and expressed by the primary immune organs may contribute to the elimination of parasitoids, as novel humoral factors in Drosophila innate immunity.

title: Supplementary Material for: Stroke Subtypes Mortality Attributable to Smoking in China - A study based on the Global Burden of Disease Database 2021

description: Background Analyzing long-term trends in Ischemic stroke (IS), Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) mortality from smoking in China from 1992 to 2021, To provide scientific advice on stroke prevention and treatment in China.
Methods The data of smoking-related stroke and death subtypes in China during 1992-2021 were collected from the Global Burden of Disease 2021. Joinpoint regression model and age-period-cohort (APC) mortality model were used for trend analysis.
Results The age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of stroke and subtypes caused by smoking showed a decreasing trend in China from 1992 to 2021. The decline was greater for women than for men. According to APC model analysis, the age effect showed that ICH and IS showed an increasing trend, while SAH increased first and then decreased. The results of the cohort effect were similar to those of the period effect, with RR(relative risk) decreasing for all subtypes. The local drift showed that the stroke and subtypes in male showed a “U” shaped trend, the is trend in female was relatively stable, and SAH and ICH showed a downward trend.
Conclusion Over the past 30 years, the burden of stroke and stroke subtype deaths attributable to smoking in China has decreased. However, future efforts should focus on preventing intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Strengthening tobacco control legislation, particularly targeting older men and young people, is crucial for further reducing smoking-related stroke risk.

title: Supplementary Material for: Supported Mindfulness-Based Self-help Intervention as an Adjunctive Treatment for Rapid Symptom Change in Emotional Disorders: A Practice-Oriented Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

description: Introduction: Rapid symptom relief is crucial for individuals with emotional disorders. The current study aimed to determine whether facilitator-supported mindfulness-based self-help (MBSH) intervention as an adjunctive treatment could provide rapid improvement for individuals with emotional disorders. Methods: A practice-oriented randomized controlled trial was conducted in a sample of 302 patients with emotional disorders from four centers. Participants were randomly assigned to either MBSH+TAU (treatment as usual; n = 152) or TAU-only group (n = 150). Assessments were conducted at baseline, week 3, week 5, immediately after intervention and at a 3-month follow-up. Primary outcomes included self-reported and clinician-reported anxiety and depression symptoms. Secondary outcomes included mindfulness, physical symptoms, perceived stress, sleep quality, and inner peace. Results: The MBSH+TAU group achieved significantly greater improvements in all primary and secondary outcome measures as compared with TAU-only immediately after intervention (Cohen’ s d = 0.19-0.51). In addition, relatively greater improvements were observed in self-reported depression, mindfulness, physical symptoms, perceived stress, and inner peace as early as week 3 or 5, which were sustained at the 3-month follow-up (Cohen’ s d = 0.20-0.34). Conclusions: Facilitator-supported MBSH offers a scalable and effective adjunctive treatment option for patients with emotional disorders in clinical practice, facilitating rapid improvements.

title: Supplementary Material for: Case Report A case of ear canal cancer with a high venous arch that benefited from an intraoperative navigation system

description: Introduction
Cancers of the external auditory canal are rare. Surgery may be the treatment of choice for localized cases. Lateral temporal bone resection is one surgical treatment option. It is rarely performed by skilled surgeons and requires caudal and anterior cutting of the tympanic chamber bone, which is not usually performed in ear surgery. It is imperative to ensure that the internal jugular vein and important nerves are present. 
Case presentation
In this report, we describe a case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the external auditory canal in which lateral temporal bone resection was safely performed using intraoperative navigation. A 33-year-old woman was diagnosed with an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right external auditory canal by another physician and presented to our department. After close examination, she was diagnosed with T3N0M0 cancer of the external auditory canal and was referred to our department for lateral temporal bone resection. Although the patient had a high venous arch, intraoperative navigation enabled unblocked resection without exposing the tumor or damaging the vital tissues.
Conclusion
Intraoperative navigation is considered a safer procedure for lateral temporal bone resection.

title: Supplementary Material for: Successful Management of Post-Thymectomy Pure Red Cell Aplasia with Rituximab: A Case Report

description: Abstract 
Background: Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare cause of anemia characterized by decreased red blood cell production, often associated with thymomas. While thymectomy is commonly performed to treat thymoma-associated PRCA, the development of PRCA post-thymectomy is less understood. 
Case presentation: We present a case of a 25-year-old woman who developed PRCA and autoimmune diabetes mellitus (DM) following radical thymectomy for malignant thymoma. Initial treatment with prednisolone showed minimal improvement, leading to the inclusion of rituximab. This combination resulted in a significant increase in reticulocyte counts and transfusion independence. 
Discussion: This case highlights the potential for PRCA to develop after thymectomy and the challenges of treating PRCA in the context of additional conditions like autoimmune DM. While immunosuppressive therapies such as cyclosporin A and corticosteroids are standard, their side effects necessitated exploring alternative treatments. Rituximab proved effective and was well-tolerated, suggesting its potential as a primary option in similar cases.
Conclusion: This case illustrates the occurrence of PRCA after thymectomy and highlights rituximab's effectiveness as a treatment option, offering a viable alternative to standard therapies in managing this complex condition.

title: Supplementary Material for: Diagnosis of Good Syndrome Following Recurrent Coronavirus Disease-2019 Infections

description: Background:
Good syndrome is defined as the co-occurrence of a thymoma and hypogammaglobulinemia.
Case:
In this case report we present a patient who was diagnosed with Good Syndrome following recurrent infections with SARS-CoV-2. Of particular note was the patient’s repeat presentation despite receiving outpatient treatment with nirmatrelvir-ritonavir. We describe the patient’s presentation, diagnosis, and treatment - including robotic thymectomy and passive immunization with IVIG - and report the benefit to quality of life that the patient experienced. 
Conclusion:
This case highlights the importance of quantitative testing of immunoglobulins in patients with known thymomas who present with recurrent infections of SARS-Cov-2.

title: Supplementary Material for: Primary Mediastinal Synovial Sarcoma with Pericardial Involvement: A Case Report

description: Introduction: Synovial sarcoma is a rare, malignant neoplasm accounting for approximately 5-10% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Synovial sarcomas generally occur in the extremities of adolescent or young adult (AYA) aged patients, however have been reported to affect virtually every organ system. The mediastinum is an exceptionally rare location for synovial sarcoma and malignant pericardial effusions occurring secondary to synovial sarcoma can occur. 

Case Presentation: This case describes a 29-year-old male who presented with three weeks of dyspnea and leg swelling. An echocardiogram demonstrated a large pericardial effusion with early tamponade physiology. A subsequent pericardiocentesis returned a lymphocytic predominance with negative flow cytometry and cytology. Cross-sectional imaging with computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis were negative for lymphadenopathy or detectable mass. He was discharged where repeat echocardiogram demonstrated recurrence of the effusion but his symptoms had improved. Ultimately, he was re-admitted with refractory dyspnea and edema where cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a large mediastinal mass invading the pericardium. The biopsy demonstrated a high-grade spindle cell malignancy positive for a rearrangement of the SS18 gene, a finding diagnostic of synovial sarcoma. He passed away after one round of doxorubicin due to septic and obstructive shock (tamponade).

Conclusion: Mediastinal synovial sarcomas are rare, aggressive and highly morbid neoplasms. In some cases, they may present insidiously due to their sole presenting clinical manifestation being pericardial effusion. Particular care should be taken to rule out malignancy with MRI or PET-guided imaging in the AYA-aged population when idiopathic, recurrent pericardial effusion is found.

title: Supplementary Material for: Non-small cell lung cancer treated with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors: the effect of concurrent medications on patient outcomes

description: Introduction: EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-induced rash can be alleviated with tetracyclines (TCN) and topical corticosteroids (TCS), whereas drugs for acid-related disorders (DARD) can affect EGFR TKI absorption. The present study investigated the concomitant use of TCNs, TCSs, and DARDs with EGFR-TKIs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and whether these affect patient outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively collected data from all patients (n=1498) who had purchased for EGFR TKIs (erlotinib, gefitinib, and afatinib) in Finland between 2011-2020. Overall survival (OS) and time on treatment (ToT) were analyzed from the first EGFR TKI purchase.
Results: Early TCN purchases were registered in 298 (19.6%) patients; early TCS and DARD purchases were observed in 154 (10.1%) and 192 (12.9%) while similar percentages were detected in the EGFR mutant cohort. In the entire cohort, early purchase of TCSs and TCNs was associated with improved ToT, OS, and DARDs with inferior outcomes. In the multivariate analysis, TCSs retained their significance in ToT (HR, 0.78; 95% 0.66-0.94), TCNs in OS (HR, 0.73; 95% 0.63-0.84), and DARDs in both (HR, 1.28; 95% 1.091-1.495; HR, 1.19; 95% 1.01-1.41). In the EGFR mutant cohort, similar non-significant trends were observed for TCSs and DARDs. In the analysis according to EGFR TKI, erlotinib users had improved outcomes when early TCN or TCS purchases were registered, whereas DARDs were associated with worse outcomes among gefitinib users. 
Conclusions: Among EGFR-TKI-treated NSCLCs, the use of TCN, TCS, and DARD can affect treatment outcomes that should be considered in optimal patient care.

title: Conceptual Change Texts in Computer Science to Expand Students' Conceptions on the Topic of Artificial Intelligence

description: General information on the survey and cohort

The present data were collected in 2023 at a secondary school in Hamburg. A questionnaire was used as a pre- and post-test in computer science courses in years 10 and 11 to investigate the agreement with various items and how this changed. The questionnaires were transferred to SPSS for analysis.

76 students aged 15-17 took part in the survey and the teaching intervention. This data set only contains the data that is available in full. It therefore includes the responses of 69 students, of which a total of 22 felt assigned to the female gender and 47 to the male gender.

 

Data set

The data is purely quantitative, as this is only the evaluation of the pre- and post-test and not the evaluation of the conceptual change texts themselves. The item list is made up of 20 items relating to artificial intelligence, which were drawn up according to the Big Ideas of the AI4K12 initiative [1]. The students' perceptions of the items come from various past studies that have surveyed students' conceptions of AI.

The data has a pseudonymized code that can be linked to the conceptual change text of the experimental group and the data can be assigned accordingly. The data is also divided into the experimental group (abbreviation 2) and the control group (abbreviation 1) so that a comparison between the groups is quickly possible. The abbreviation W in front of the items stands for a “true” statement and SV for “student conception”. A Likert scale from 0 - does not apply at all to 3 - applies completely was used.

The data set is cleansed data. All data sets that were not complete or that were given different codes in the pre-test and post-test and therefore could no longer be clearly assigned were removed.
