title: Supplementary Material for: The 20-year trends in caries and associated determinants among adults in “post-Soviet” Lithuania: repeated cross-sectional studies

description: Aim. To examine the 20-year trend in dental caries and associated determinants among adults in Lithuania after the country restored its independence. Material and methods. Data from two cross-sectional national surveys included samples of 35-44-year-olds (adults) and 65-74-year-olds (early elderly). The 1997/1998 survey (first survey) recruited a stratified random sample of 570 individuals from 10 selected areas in Lithuania (response rate 52%) and the 2017/2019 survey (second survey) recruited a stratified random sample of 723 individuals from 5 biggest Lithuanian cities and one randomly selected peri-urban/rural area from each of 10 Lithuanian counties (response rate 53%). The information about the social (sex, residence, education) and behavioral (tooth brushing frequency, use of fluoridated toothpaste and last dental visit) determinants was collected via self-reports using the World Health Organization (WHO) Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults questions. Information about the fluoride level in the drinking water was retrieved from the water suppliers. Dental caries was recorded at the surface level following the WHO criteria by two calibrated examiners, one at each of the national surveys. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used. Results. According to multivariable negative binomial regression analysis, in adults, a 67% lower DS scores (IRR 0.33, 95%CI 0.26-0.42) and in early elderly a 47% lower DS scores (IRR 0.53, 95%CI 0.38-0.74) were observed in the second survey. Adults in the second survey (vs. first survey) had 62% lower MT scores (IRR 0.38, 95%CI 0.32-0.46), and the early elderly had 19% lower MT scores (IRR 0.81, 95%CI 0.72-0.92). Adults in the second survey had a 21% lower DMFT scores (IRR 0.79, 95%CI 0.73-0.85). The changes in behavioral determinants were observed over the 20-year period. Conclusion. An improvement in dental health during the 20-year period, mainly related to reduction in untreated caries and missing teeth, was observed in adults and early elderly. However, early elderly still had high numbers of missing teeth. The decrease in total caries experience during the 20 years was significant only in adults. Our findings support an urgent need to design and implement national oral health promotion and prevention programs with increased focus on oral self-care and fluoridated toothpaste use.

title: Biotic pressure outweighs the influence of resource availability on physical defense investment in a tropical tree

description: Plants have long-lasting and complex interactions with herbivores, including insects and mammals. In response to high herbivory rates, plants either tolerate biomass loss or develop several defense mechanisms, such as physical defense. The resource availability hypothesis predicts that plant defense investment is dependent on resource availability and plant’s life history. However, the effect of resource availability on plant investment in defense is mediated through biotic pressure. We tested the effects of soil qualities and browsing pressure on the physical defense and reproductive investments<i> </i>in <i>Acacia sieberiana</i><i> </i>at the Pendjari Biosphere Reserve in West Africa. We selected six populations, including three in the Pendjari River floodplain where soil moisture is high but with high elephant browsing pressure, and three populations on the plateau in the hunting zone where soils are drier and relatively poorer with a lower density of elephants. We found greater investment in physical defense for trees in the floodplain. Furthermore, <i>Acacia sieberiana</i><i> </i>trees produced less fruit in the floodplain than in the plateau. Contrary to the predictions of the resource availability hypothesis, we found more and longer thorns in populations in the richer floodplains than on the plateau. This was linked to higher elephant browsing pressure in the floodplains. Surprisingly, the negative influence of thorn number and size on the likelihood of elephant damage was observed only in the rich floodplains and not in plateau sites. Altogether, our study demonstrates that the influence of resource availability (soil moisture, pH, fertility) in shaping plant physical defense can be outweighed by high herbivory pressure.

title: The Pakistan flood of August 2022: causes and implications

description: The risk of floods has increased in South Asia due to high vulnerability and exposure. The August 2022 Pakistan flood shows a glimpse of the enormity and devastation that can further rise under the warming climate. The deluge caused by the Pakistan floods in 2022, which badly hit the country's southern provinces, is incomparable to any recent events in terms of the vast spatial and temporal scale. The 2022 Pakistan flood ranked third in human mortality, while this was the top event that displaced about 32 million people. Using observations and climate projections, we examine the causes and implications of the August 2022 flood inPakistan. Multiday (~ 15 days) extreme precipitation on wet antecedent soil moistureconditions was the primary driver of the flood in August 2022. The extreme precipitation inAugust was caused by two atmospheric rivers that passed over southern Pakistan. Streamflowsimulations from the multiple hydrological models show that extreme precipitation was theprimary driver of floods as several stations in the flood-affected regions experiencedanomalously higher flow than the stations located upstream. The frequency of similar multi-day extreme precipitation events is projected to rise four-fold under the high emissionscenario. The 2022 Pakistan flood highlights the adapatation challenges that South Asia isfacing along with the substantial need for climate mitigation to reduce the risk of such eventsin the future.

title: Supplementary Material for: The Economics of Cognitive Impairment: Volunteering and Cognitive Function in the HILDA Survey

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> The economic impact of older-age cognitive impairment has been estimated primarily by the direct and indirect costs associated with dementia care. Other potential costs associated with milder cognitive impairment in the community have received little attention. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To quantify the cost of nonclinical cognitive impairment in a large population-based sample in order to more fully inform cost-effectiveness evaluations of interventions to maintain cognitive health. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Volunteering by seniors has economic value but those with lower cognitive function may contribute fewer hours. Relations between hours volunteering and cognitive impairment were assessed using the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey data. These findings were extrapolated to the Australian population to estimate one potential cost attributable to nonclinical cognitive impairment. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In those aged ≥60 years in HILDA (n = 3,127), conservatively defined cognitive impairment was present in 3.8% of the sample. Impairment was defined by performance ≥1 standard deviation below the age- and education-adjusted mean on both the Symbol Digit Modalities Test and Backwards Digit Span test. In fully adjusted binomial regression models, impairment was associated with the probability of undertaking 1 h 9 min less volunteering a week compared to being nonimpaired (β = -1.15, 95% confidence interval -1.82 to -0.47, p = 0.001). In the population, 3.8% impairment equated to probable loss of AUD 302,307,969 per annum estimated by hours of volunteering valued by replacement cost. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Nonclinical cognitive impairment in older age impacts upon on the nonmonetary economy via probable loss of volunteering contribution. Valuing loss of contribution provides additional information for cost-effectiveness evaluations of research and action directed toward maintaining older-age cognitive functioning.

title: Left parties, voter preferences, and economic policy-making in Europe

description: Classic partisan theory posits that political parties translate their electorates’ preferences into policies. Accordingly, the recent changes in left parties’ voter base, from predominantly working-class to middle-class voters, should have resulted in changing policy positions and policy effects of left parties. We test this expectation for economic policies (i.e., subsidies, product market regulation, and privatization) in 16 European countries between 1980 and 2012. We find the expected relationships for subsidies but not for regulation and privatization. This can be explained by the fact that only with regard to subsidies, preferences substantially differ between the working- and the middle-class. Thus, economic policy preferences of voters of left parties diverge less than could be expected. Methodologically, the study suggests that empirically testing the complete causal mechanism of classic partisan theory, assessing voters’ preferences and investigating more than one issue area, are promising ways to study partisan effects on public policies.

title: Supplementary Material for: Should More Patients with Kidney Failure Bring Treatment Home? What We Have Learned from COVID-19

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging healthcare systems worldwide and has placed hospitals and healthcare providers (HCPs) at the center of a global crisis. Disruptions to hospital priorities, and limitations placed on the mobility of societies, have contributed to changes in the way HCPs and patients view and access dialysis for kidney failure, including which dialysis modality is preferred. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> This article explores the dialysis experience within the COVID-19 pandemic environment in the Asia Pacific region and presents evidence that peritoneal dialysis (PD) provides benefits to patients, HCPs, and health systems. As the number of people infected with COVID-19 has increased, the advantages of PD as a dialysis modality for limiting the spread of COVID-19 infection has been recognized. <b><i>Key Message:</i></b> The utility of PD has been demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic; thus, ensuring that the usage of PD is maintained and increased in a post-pandemic future is key. Such a scenario could enhance our ability to care for patients without interruption in circumstances of unforeseen obstacles and supports the ability of healthcare systems and patients to overcome barriers to dialysis access.

title: Integrating Multi-Hazard Exposure with Social Vulnerability into Global Displacement Risks

description: This study introduces a comprehensive displacement risk index integrating high-resolution hazard data (floods, storms, droughts, wildfires, earthquakes, landslides) with multidimensional social vulnerability metrics to evaluate global patterns and compound risks in conflict zones. Combining historical displacement records with environmental, demographic, and socioeconomic indicators, we identify high-risk regions and quantify interactions between hazards and conflict. Results reveal floods as the primary displacement driver, particularly in South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan) and Sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria, Ethiopia), where dense populations in hazard-prone areas intersect with low resilience.

title: Supplementary Material for: High-Dose Lovastatin for Acute Ischemic Stroke: Results of the Phase I Dose Escalation Neuroprotection with Statin Therapy for Acute Recovery Trial (NeuSTART)

description: <i>Background:</i> Hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (‘statins’) reduce the neuronal injury in dose-dependent fashion in rodent stroke models. We sought to determine whether lovastatin at doses above those currently approved can be administered safely within 24 h after an acute ischemic stroke. <i>Methods:</i> We conducted a phase 1B dose-finding study using an adaptive design novel to stroke trials, the continual reassessment method, to find the highest tolerated dose of lovastatin. Planned doses were 1, 3, 6, 8 and 10 mg/kg/day for 3 days. The primary safety outcomes were myotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. The model was calibrated to select a dose causing 7–13% toxicity. <i>Results:</i> We enrolled 33 patients (16 men/17 women, age range 23–82 years). Three patients were treated at 1 mg/kg, 10 at 3 mg/kg, 12 at 6 mg/kg, and 8 at 8 mg/kg. Thirty of the 33 patients (90.9%) completed at least 11 of 12 doses. Two patients at the 6-mg/kg dose level experienced transient mild elevations in transaminases without clinical sequelae. After an initial dose reduction, the dose was re-escalated to 8 mg/kg, and no further patients reached safety outcomes. No clinical liver disease, myopathy, or creatine phosphokinase elevations occurred. The final model-based toxicity at 8 mg/kg was 13%; no patient was treated at 10 mg/kg. <i>Conclusions:</i> Lovastatin at doses above those currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration is feasible for 3 days after an acute ischemic stroke and the maximum tolerated dose is estimated to be 8 mg/kg/day. Further randomized studies are warranted to confirm its safety and to demonstrate its efficacy in improving functional outcomes after stroke.

title: <b>Efficacy and Safety of Levetiracetam for Epilepsy in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis</b>

description: <b>Objective</b>To investigate and validate the clinical efficacy and safety of levetiracetam intervention drug administered as a monotherapy or adjunctive therapy in treating children below 18 years of age diagnosed with epilepsy.<br><b>Methods</b>Online databases (PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE) were electronically searched with Keywords and MeSH terms including pediatric, child, neonate, seizure, epilepsy, anticonvulsive, levetiracetam, and Keppra from inception to September 2022 to establish high-quality studies for inclusion in this study. The data were extracted, and outcomes were measured on seizure-free rates, a seizure-frequency reduction from baseline (≥50% reduction rates), and the adverse effects. The meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan version 5.4 software.<br><b>Results</b>After being ascertained based on the predetermined eligibility criteria, a total of 14 articles were finally included in this meta-analysis. Based on the pooled meta-analysis results of different outcomes, the study suggested a superior efficacy and safety profile of levetiracetam over placebo or other AEDs. Some forms of minor adverse events were also associated with AED drug administration. Compared with others, such as PHB and COX, the incidences of adverse events were substantially lower in levetiracetam, making it safe for children.<br><b>Conclusion</b>The meta-analysis concluded that levetiracetam was clinically effective and safe in treating epilepsy in children.

title: Supplementary Material for: Preliminary Investigation about the Expression of G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Platelets from Patients with Chronic Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

description: <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The objective of this study was to determine the expression of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in platelets from adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Peripheral blood samples were collected from 40 patients with chronic ITP in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College, and 40 peripheral blood samples from healthy volunteers were collected; expressions of the adenosine diphosphate receptors (P2Y1 and P2Y12), alpha-2A adrenergic receptor (α2A-AR), and thromboxane A<sub>2</sub> receptor (TP) in platelets were detected by flow cytometry. Gα protein, protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1), and protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR4) were analyzed by Western blot and analyzed statistically. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Flow cytometry measurements of mean fluorescence intensities showed platelets from patients with chronic ITP, compared to healthy individuals, had significantly higher levels of P2Y1 (31.4 ± 2.2 vs. 7.8 ± 0.8), P2Y12 (29.6 ± 2.1 vs. 7.2 ± 1.3), α2A-AR (25.8 ± 2.9 vs. 9.8 ± 0.9), and TP (39.8 ± 3.1 vs. 4.7 ± 0.6) (all <i>p</i> &lt; 0.01). Similarly, integrated optical density analysis of Western blots showed that platelets from patients with chronic ITP had significantly higher levels of Gα (1046.3 ± 159.96 vs. 254.49 ± 39.51), PAR1 (832.98 ± 98.81 vs. 203.92 ± 27.47), and PAR4 (1518.80 ± 272.45 vs. 431.27 ± 41.86) (all <i>p</i> &lt; 0.01). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Expression of GPCRs is increased in platelets from patients with chronic ITP, suggesting that platelets of chronic ITP may participate in the complicated biological process by means of GPCR-mediated signaling pathways.

title: Post-disaster Housing Reconstruction in a Philippine Estuarine Island Case 3: Nina

description: This is part of a series of case write-ups developed from ethnographic data collection activities (using a combination of remote and in-situ methods due to Covid-19 restrictions) in Isla Sasa, a Philippine estuarine island, from 2020 to 2021 (ongoing as of writing). The data collection was conducted as part of the author’s doctoral research on design and citizenship practices within post-disaster housing reconstruction for the School of Architecture and Urban Design at RMIT University. Data collection focused on adult householders who suffered from either housing loss or damage after Super Typhoon Glenda in 2014 (international name: Rammasun), the most destructive storm on the island and one of the most destructive storms in the Philippines. Aside from exposure to typhoons, inhabitants of the four-hectare island also suffer from intense flooding that can be traced to land subsidence and sea level rise. The interview for Case 3 was conducted using a mobile phone and arranged through the assistance of a community health worker residing in the island, following research ethics protocols approved by the RMIT Human Research Ethics Committee. The interview was conducted in Tagalog. The interview was transcribed and this summary is based on the transcription.
