Background: Very preterm (VP) birth is associated with a considerable risk for cognitive impairment, putting children at a disadvantage in academic and everyday life. Despite lower cognitive ability on the group level, there are large individual differences among VP born children. Contemporary theories define intelligence as a network of reciprocally connected cognitive abilities. Therefore, intelligence was studied as a network of interrelated abilities to provide insight into interindividual differences. We described and compared the network of cognitive abilities, including strength of interrelations between and the relative importance of abilities, of VP and full‐term (FT) born children and VP children with below‐average and average‐high intelligence at 5.5 years. Methods: A total of 2,253 VP children from the EPIPAGE‐2 cohort and 578 FT controls who participated in the 5.5‐year‐follow‐up were eligible for inclusion. The WPPSI‐IV was used to measure verbal comprehension, visuospatial abilities, fluid reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. Psychometric network analysis was applied to analyse the data. Results: Cognitive abilities were densely and positively interconnected in all networks, but the strength of connections differed between networks. The cognitive network of VP children was more strongly interconnected than that of FT children. Furthermore, VP children with below average IQ had a more strongly connected network than VP children with average‐high IQ. Contrary to our expectations, working memory had the least central role in all networks. Conclusions: In line with the ability differentiation hypothesis, children with higher levels of cognitive ability had a less interconnected and more specialised cognitive structure. Composite intelligence scores may therefore mask domain‐specific deficits, particularly in children at risk for cognitive impairments (e.g., VP born children), even when general intelligence is unimpaired. In children with strongly and densely connected networks, domain‐specific deficits may have a larger overall impact, resulting in lower intelligence levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the validation of the PEACE scale, which assesses cleanliness during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) to improve the quality of inspection during endoscopy. The study involved 16 international experts who were trained on the PEACE scale and then assessed videos of EGD procedures. The overall agreement on PEACE scores was good, indicating high concordance among the experts. The PEACE scale can be used as a simple and uniform method to assess and document cleanliness during EGD, and it has been validated among international experts. [Extracted from the article]

Faber, W., Hirner, A., and Kaminski, M.
- Abstract
Zusammenfassung: 3,4-Methylendioxy-N-methylamphetamin (MDMA), auch Ecstasy genannt, ist ein unter Jugendlichen weit verbreitetes Halluzinogen. Bislang bekannte Komplikationen des Konsums dieser Droge sind eine Hyperpyrexie, eine disseminierte intravasale Koagulation, ein akutes Nierenversagen sowie eine Rhabdomyolyse. Wir berichten �ber eine 18-j�hrige Patientin, die nach der Inhalation von Ecstasy ein Pneumomediastinum sowie ein Hautemphysem entwickelte, wobei eine L�sion der Luftwege und des Lungenparenchyms ausgeschlossen wurden. Die Hypothese zur Pathogenese dieser Erkrankung wird pr�sentiert. Die Therapie der Wahl ist die Beobachtung des Patienten unter station�ren Bedingungen sowie die maximale Sedierung bis hin zur Kurzzeitbeatmung.

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the exposure frequency effect of 0.454% stannous fluoride (SnF2) toothpaste in controlling gingivitis.Methods: Two randomized controlled trials enrolled generally healthy adults with gingivitis. The study duration was 1 mo (study 1) and 3 mo (study 2). Gingivitis was assessed using the Löe-Silness Gingival Index (LSGI) at baseline, 1 mo (both studies), and 3 mo (study 2); bleeding scores were derived from the LSGI. Study groups consisted of positive control (twice-daily use of 0.454% SnF2toothpaste), experimental group (brushing in the morning with SnF2toothpaste and in the evening with 0.76% sodium monofluorophosphate [SMFP] toothpaste), and negative control (twice-daily use of SMFP toothpaste). The primary endpoint was number of bleeding sites.Results: Study 1 and study 2 each enrolled and randomized 90 participants; 86 and 89 participants, respectively, completed the trials. At baseline, the mean (SD) number of bleeding sites was 47.6 (18.54) in study 1 and 41.5 (17.84) in study 2. At 3 mo (study 2), the positive control produced 51.3% fewer bleeding sites, and the experimental group produced 32.5% fewer bleeding sites versus the negative control (P< 0.001 for both). At 1 mo, the positive control produced 45.1% (study 1) and 45.8% (study 2) fewer bleeding sites versus the negative control (P< 0.001 for both), and the experimental group produced 33.0% (study 1) and 24.8% (study 2) fewer bleeding sites, respectively, versus the negative control (P ≤0.002 for both). The benefit was observed as early as 1 mo and was consistent with 3-mo results.Conclusion: This research is to our knowledge the first to demonstrate a gingivitis-reduction response effect for the frequency of bioavailable SnF2toothpaste use, with maximum benefit from twice-daily use, followed by a single-daily exposure versus the negative control. Clinical trial registration numbers: NCT05916508 and NCT05916521.Knowledge Transfer Statement: The results of this study can be used by dental professionals to guide their recommendations for therapeutic toothpaste for gingival health. Emphasis on the importance of twice-daily brushing with bioavailable stannous fluoride dentifrice will help patients optimize gingival health benefits achieved via self-care.

- Abstract
We demonstrate how tabletop settings combining hyperbolic lattices with nonlinear dynamics universally encode aspects of the bulk-boundary correspondence between gravity in anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space and conformal field theory (CFT). Our concrete and broadly applicable holographic toy model simulates gravitational self-interactions in the bulk and features an emergent CFT with nontrivial correlations on the boundary. We measure the CFT data contained in the two- and three-point functions and clarify how a thermal CFT is simulated through an effective black hole geometry. As a concrete example, we propose and simulate an experimentally feasible protocol to measure the holographic CFT using electrical circuits.

- Abstract
Zenker's diverticulum (ZD), also known as a cricopharyngeal pouch, is a pulsion pseudodiverticulum located dorsally at the pharyngoesophageal junction. The pathophysiology of ZD involves cricopharyngeal spasm, incoordination, impaired upper esophageal sphincter opening, and structural changes in the cricopharyngeal muscle, leading to symptoms such as dysphagia, regurgitation of undigested food, foreign body sensation, halitosis, unintentional weight loss, and respiratory issues. Treatment for symptomatic ZD typically involves myotomy of the cricopharyngeal muscle. Endoscopic techniques, particularly flexible endoscopy septotomy (FES) and Zenker peroral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM), have become preferred options due to their minimally invasive nature. This review discusses the techniques and clinical outcomes of FES and Z-POEM, focusing on specific clinical scenarios to guide the choice between these methods. Additionally, the variability in FES techniques, the effectiveness of Z-POEM, and the impact of different diverticulum sizes on treatment outcomes are analyzed, providing a comprehensive overview of current therapeutic approaches for ZD., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest None., (Copyright © 2024.

- Abstract
Aim: We aim to determine the evolutionary origins and population genetics of mallard-like ducks of Oceania, greater Indonesia, and the Philippines., Location: Oceania, greater Indonesia, and the Philippines., Taxon: Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), Pacific black duck (A. superciliosa spp.), and Philippine duck (A. luzonica) METHODS: Thousands of nuclear ddRAD-seq loci and the mitochondrial DNA control region were assayed across individuals representative of each species' range. We assessed population structure and phylogenetic relationships, as well as estimated demographic histories to reconstruct the biogeographical history of each species., Results: Philippine and Pacific black ducks represent unique genetic lineages that diverged from the mallard 1-2 million years ago. We find no support for the Philippine duck representing a hybrid species as once posited; however, their low levels of genetic diversity requires further attention. We find a lack of substructure among Philippine ducks. However, we found pronounced differentiation between subspecies of Pacific black ducks, especially between A. s. superciliosa from New Zealand and A. s. rogersi from Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Timor-Leste, Indonesia. Anas superciliosa pelewensis gave mixed results; individuals from the Solomon Islands were differentiated from the other subspecies, but those from the island of Aunu'u, American Samoa, were genetically more similar to A. s. rogersi than A. s. pelewensis samples from the Solomon Islands. Finally, we find limited evidence of interspecific gene flow at evolutionary scales, and mallard introgression among contemporary samples., Main Conclusions: Mallard-like ducks radiated across Oceania, greater Indonesia, and the Philippines within the last 2 million years. Only the Pacific black duck showed unique sub-structuring that largely followed known sub-species ranges, except for A. s. pelewensis. We posit that the high interrelatedness among Solomon Island samples suggests that their genetic distinctiveness may simply be the result of high levels of genetic drift. In contrast, we conclude that mainland Australian Pacific black ducks were the most likely source for the recent colonization of American Samoa. As a result, our findings suggest that either the A. s. pelewensis subspecies designations and/or its geographical range may require re-evaluation. Continued re-evaluation of evolutionary and taxonomic relationships is necessary when attempting to reconstruct and understand biogeographical histories, with important implications towards any attempts to implement conservation strategies., (Published by Elsevier Inc.)

- Abstract
Purpose: Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is produced at the site of inflammation and has been identified as a specific marker of atherosclerosis, vascular inflammation, and progression of the coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the study was to establish if PTX3 has potential relations with classical markers of cardiovascular risk, and if PTX3 may act as an independent risk factor of CAD occurrence and advancement., Materials and Methods: The study included 98 patients with stable CAD confirmed in coronary angiography (CAD group) (median age 65 interquartile range [IQR] 61-72 years; 72 % men). The control group consisted of 40 patients without CAD., Results: The CAD group had significantly higher PTX3 concentration compared to the control group. There was a correlation with age, male gender, lipid profile and intima-media thickness. There was no correlation between PTX3 concentration and the number of coronary vessels with significant atherosclerotic lesions and the advancement of atherosclerotic lesions on the Gensini scoring scale. The cut-off point was determined for 0.89 ng/ml for the exclusion of angiographically significant atherosclerotic lesions., Conclusions: Patients with CAD have significantly higher concentration of PTX3. There was no correlation between PTX3 and the advancement of angiographically significant atherosclerotic lesions in coronary arteries. Low PTX3 concentration may serve as an indicator for the absence of atherosclerosis., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024.

- Abstract
Aim: This study compared neurodevelopmental screening questionnaires completed when preterm-born children reached 2 years of corrected age with social communication skills at 5.5 years of age., Methods: Eligible subjects were born in 2011 at 24-34 weeks of gestation, participated in a French population-based epidemiological study and were free of motor and sensory impairment at 2 years of corrected age. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) and the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) were used at 2 years and the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) at 5.5 years of age., Results: We focused on 2119 children. At 2 years of corrected age, the M-CHAT showed autistic traits in 20.7%, 18.5% and 18.2% of the children born at 24-26, 27-31 and 32-34 weeks of gestation, respectively (p = 0.7). At 5.5 years of age, 12.6%, 12.7% and 9.6% risked social communication difficulties, with an SCQ score ≥90th percentile (p = 0.2). A positive M-CHAT score at 2 years was associated with higher risks of social communication difficulties at 5.5 years of age (odds ratio 3.46, 95% confidence interval 2.04-5.86, p < 0.001). Stratifying ASQ scores produced similar results., Conclusion: Using parental neurodevelopmental screening questionnaires for preterm-born children helped to identify the risk of later social communication difficulties., (© 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Objective: Epileptic Encephalopathy / Developmental Epileptic Encephalopathy with spike-and-wave activation during sleep (EE/DEE-SWAS) is a self-limiting childhood epilepsy syndrome but may cause permanent neurocognitive impairment. Surgical interventions have been controversial in the treatment of EE/DEE-SWAS. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of various surgical procedures on the outcomes of EE/DEE-SWAS., Methods: A systematic review was performed per the PRISMA guidelines. A total of 14 retrospective studies were identified, comprising 131 cases of EE/DEE-SWAS treated with epilepsy surgery. The review analyzed presurgical data, surgical interventions, as well as outcomes related to seizures, EEG, and neuropsychological assessments., Results: Epilepsy surgery was successfully performed in 131 cases with minor complications. The average age was 2.6 years at seizure onset and 5.0 years at diagnosis of SWAS. Excellent seizure control (Engel I and II) was achieved in 80.6 %, 78.6 %, 77.4 % and 27.2 % of patients receiving hemispherectomies, focal resections, multiple subpial transections (MSTs), and corpus callosotomies (CCTs), respectively. EEG SWAS resolution was seen in 79.7 % of hemispherectomy cases, 78.6 % in focal resections, 63.9 % in MSTs, and 8.3 % in CCTs. Neurocognitive and behavioral improvement was noted in 58.0 %, 71.4 %, 58.3 % and 16.7 % for patients receiving hemispherectomies, focal resections, MSTs, and CCTs, respectively. A correlation between improved seizure control and SWAS resolution was observed with improved neuropsychological outcomes., Conclusion: Epilepsy surgery is a safe and effective treatment for carefully selected children with drug-resistant EE/DEE-SWAS. Patients who underwent epilepsy surgery had reduction of seizure burden, SWAS resolution and improvements in neurocognitive and behavioral function., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors report no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2024 British Epilepsy Association.

- Abstract
It is unclear whether metabolic health corresponds to reduced oncogenesis or vice versa. We study Tudor-interacting repair regulator (TIRR), an inhibitor of p53 binding protein 1 (53BP1)-mediated p53 activation, and the physiological consequences of enhancing tumor suppressor activity. Deleting TIRR selectively activates p53, significantly protecting against cancer but leading to a systemic metabolic imbalance in mice. TIRR-deficient mice are overweight and insulin resistant, even under normal chow diet. Similarly, reduced TIRR expression in human adipose tissue correlates with higher BMI and insulin resistance. Despite the metabolic challenges, TIRR loss improves p53 heterozygous (p53
HET ) mouse survival and correlates with enhanced progression-free survival in patients with various p53HET carcinomas. Finally, TIRR's oncoprotective and metabolic effects are dependent on p53 and lost upon p53 deletion in TIRR-deficient mice, with glucose homeostasis and orexigenesis being primarily regulated by TIRR expression in the adipose tissue and the CNS, respectively, as evidenced by tissue-specific models. In summary, TIRR deletion provides a paradigm of metabolic deregulation accompanied by reduced oncogenesis., Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no competing interests., (Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).

- Abstract
Acrylamide (AA) is formed in foods due to thermal processes. AA was analysed in 230 foods in the first German Total Diet Study and the highest mean levels of AA were found in vegetable crisps (1430 μg/kg), followed by potato pancakes (558) μg/kg) and pan-fried potatoes (450 μg/kg). In various foods, e.g. French fries and sweet potatoes, AA was also tested for different browning degrees and cooking methods. French fries cooked to a browning degree of 3 in all cooking methods exceeded the benchmark level set by the European Union. French fries prepared in the oven and sweet potatoes in the air fryer had the lowest AA levels. In foods from the German market, AA was found also in foods such as popcorn (243 μg/kg), salty sticks (190 μg/kg), and dark chocolate (130 μg/kg). Levels of AA found in our study may support future dietary exposure and food safety assessments., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (© 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Objective: To assess the association between clinical chorioamnionitis and neurodevelopmental disorders at 5 years of age in children born preterm., Study Design: EPIPAGE 2 is a national, population-based cohort study of children born before 35 weeks of gestation in France in 2011. We included infants born alive between 24
0/7 and 346/7 weeks after preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of membranes. Clinical chorioamnionitis was defined as maternal fever before labor (>37.8°C) with ≥2 of the following criteria: maternal tachycardia, hyperleukocytosis, uterine contractions, purulent amniotic fluid, or fetal tachycardia. The primary outcome was a composite, including cerebral palsy, coordination disorders, cognitive disorders, sensory disorders, or behavioral disorders. We also analyzed each of these disorders separately as secondary outcomes. We performed a multivariable analysis using logistic regression models. We accounted for the nonindependence of twins and missing data by generalized estimating equation models and multiple imputations, respectively., Results: Among 2927 children alive at 5 years of age, 124 (3%) were born in a context of clinical chorioamnionitis. Overall, 8.2% and 9.6% of children exposed and unexposed, respectively, to clinical chorioamnionitis had moderate-to-severe neurodevelopmental disorders. After multiple imputations and multivariable analysis, clinical chorioamnionitis was not associated with the occurrence of moderate-to-severe neurodevelopmental disorders (aOR, 0.9; 95% CI, 0.5-1.8)., Conclusions: We did not find any association between clinical chorioamnionitis and neurodevelopmental disorders at 5 years of age in children born at <35 weeks of gestation after preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of membrane., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The EPIPAGE 2 study was funded with support from the French Institute of Public Health Research/Institute of Public Health, and its partners.

- Abstract
In a system with one conserved charge the charge diffusion is modified by nonlinear self-interactions within an effective field theory (EFT) of diffusive fluctuations. We include the slowest ultraviolet (UV) mode, constructing a UV-regulated EFT. The relaxation time of this UV mode is protected from renormalization, as supported by experimental data in a bad metal system. Furthermore, the retarded density-density Green's function acquires four branch points, eventually increasing the range of applicability. We discuss the fate of long time tails as well as implications for the quark gluon plasma.

- Abstract
Background: Healthcare spending represents a large portion of the GDP of the United States. Value-based care (VBC) seeks to decrease waste in health care spending, yet this concept is insufficiently taught to medical students. The Choosing Wisely Students and Trainees Advocating for Resource Stewardship (STARS) campaign promotes initiatives that integrate knowledge of VBC into undergraduate medical education (UME). This study sought to determine the most effective strategy to educate medical students on key principles of VBC as taught by the STARS campaign., Methods: Choosing Wisely principles were incorporated into the UME curriculum of an academic medical institution via the creation of eight new learning objectives (LOs) for case-based learning (CBL) sessions and lectures. Medical students completed an annual 10-question survey from 2019 to 2022 and 10 formal examination questions during the preclinical (years 1 and 2) curriculum after exposure to varying quantities of LOs. Pearson correlation, chi-square, and logistic regression were employed to determine the association between increased LOs in the curriculum and (1) campaign awareness and (2) knowledge of VBC principles., Results: A total of 700 survey responses over a four-year period (2019 to 2022) were analyzed. Student awareness of the campaign and knowledge of VBC principles increased year over year during the survey period (39% to 92% and 64% to 74%, respectively). There were significant associations between increased LOs in the curriculum and (1) campaign awareness (0.828, p<0.0001) and (2) knowledge of VBC principles (0.934, p<0.001). Students also performed well on formal examination questions related to VBC principles (mean: 81.5% and mean discrimination index: 0.18)., Conclusion: Integration of VBC-focused LOs is significantly associated with awareness of the Choosing Wisely STARS campaign and knowledge of VBC principles taught by the campaign. Collaborative initiatives to increase exposure to VBC education may improve students' knowledge of these principles during medical school., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2024, El Fadel et al.)
