Approximately 25% of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are diagnosed in childhood and the incidence is increasing. Thus, more patients will transition to adult care in the future. Within the literature, transition readiness has been deemed important to achieving a successful transition; however, it is unclear what outcomes define success. This scoping review aims to summarize the literature on outcomes surrounding transition from pediatric to adult care in patients with IBD.
A scoping review was conducted with the following steps (1) identifying the research question, (2) identifying relevant studies, (3) study selection, (4) charting the data, (5) collating, summarizing, and reporting results, and (6) consultation with an additional researcher. Studies were identified from 5 databases and were included in part if (1) IBD was a disease of interest, (2) referred to transition as the movement and adjustment from pediatric to adult care, and (3) evaluated patient outcomes up to 5 years after first adult appointment and/or defined a successful or unsuccessful transition.
Twenty-six peer-reviewed studies were included. Four studies defined transition success, while 2 studies defined an unsuccessful transition. Transition outcomes were categorized into these 6 themes being comfortable in adult care (n = 4); health care utilization (n = 19); disease management (n = 15); knowledge (n = 5); quality of life (n = 6); self-efficacy (n = 7).
Most studies evaluated transition outcomes by themes of health care utilization (n = 19) and disease management (n = 15). Future research should focus on engaging patients along with providers in order to create a consensus on indicators of transition success.

These calculations predict that the anions of pyridine, pyrimidine and pyridazine are bound in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation by 0.05, 0.8, and 19.0 meV, respectively. The binding energies of pyrimidine and pyridazine are large enough that the anions will remain bound even when allowing for corrections to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, while that of pyridine is a borderline case. We were unable to find a stable non-valence correlation-bound anion for pyrazine, which has a zero dipole moment.There are increasingly attentions on the pollution from microplastics, especially the impact on human health. This work focuses on one hand the effect of digestion system on the surface microstructures of microplastics from the most popular sources such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride. On the other hand, how these microplastic affect probiotics in digestion system was also investigated to evaluate their toxicity on health. All the samples were treated by in vitro simulating digestion consisting of three phases oral, gastric and intestinal. There were no physical differences observed by both Scanning Electronic Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy, and no significant chemical changes detected by both Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy after digestion treatment. The effect of these microplastics on tested strains were investigated by in vitro culture method and results showed that polystyrene microplastics could inhibit the growth of the Lactobacillus significantly. The results indicated that the digestion system could not decompose microplastics, even on the surfaces, since plastics are inert due to their low chemical reactivity, but the microplastics might lead to imbalance of intestinal microbiota.To explore the effects of herbaceous plants on mercury (Hg) behaviors after flooding in the water-level fluctuation zone (WLFZ) of Jialing River, three typical local plants (D. pyramidalis, A. philoxeroides and C. dactylon) and their in-situ sediments were collected for flooding experiments to study the Hg dynamics of water and sediment in different treatments. The results showed that flooding increased sediment MeHg concentrations and flooded plants (especially for the D. pyramidalis) promoted this process. Similarly, the highest dissolved MeHg level and proportion of MeHg to total Hg (%MeHg) were observed in plant-water treatments in the presence of D. pyramidalis, indicating the potential for the methylation of Hg in the water body influenced by the decay process of herbaceous plants. Benserazide These results suggest that the herbaceous plant D. pyramidalis contributes more to Hg methylation and release in the WLFZ of the Jialing River than other plants studied.Microplastics (MPs) are a widely distributed pollutant and have been attracting global attention. The increasing abundance of MPs in marine environments has raised concern about their adverse effects on marine organisms and influence on the fate of contaminants in seawater. In this study, we investigated the effects of natural aging on the adsorption of di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), one of the most widely used phthalic acid esters (PAEs), in two types of MPs (polyethylene and polystyrene). Biofilm was observed on the surface of MPs after 3-month exposure in seawater. Atomic force microscopy revealed there were significant physical changes in the MPs after aging. Aging in coastal seawater for 3 months significantly reduced the MPs' surface roughness and adhesion, and increased the Young's modulus at the same time. Adsorption isotherms of DEHP indicated that aged MPs had stronger binding capacity of the organic contaminant than pristine MPs. Our data shed some light on the biogeochemical role of MPs in marine environments.
During resuscitation of patients with severe trauma, guidelines recommend permissive hypotension prior to surgical bleeding control. However, hypotension may be associated with reduced organ perfusion and multiple organ dysfunction, e.g. myocardial injury. The association between hypotension and myocardial injury in trauma patients is underexplored. We hypothesized that hypotension is associated with myocardial injury in this population.
This retrospective study included patients ≥ 18years suffering from severe trauma [defined as Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16] that were treated in the emergency department resuscitation room between 2016 and 2019. Primary endpoint was the incidence of myocardial injury defined as high-sensitive troponin T > 14ng/l. Main exposure was the duration of arterial hypotension during resuscitation period defined as mean arterial pressure < 65mmHg.
Out of 368 patients screened, 343 were analyzed (73% male, age 55 ± 21, ISS 28 ± 12). Myocardial injury was detected in 143 (42%) patients. Overall in-hospital mortality was 26%. Multivariate binary logistic regression with forced entry of nine predefined covariables revealed an odds ratio of 1.29 [95% confidence interval 1.16-1.44]; p = 0.012) for the association between the duration of hypotension and myocardial injury.
The duration of hypotension during resuscitation period is independently associated with the incidence of myocardial injury in patients with severe trauma.

Using these gene modules, scINSIGHT can further identify cellular identities and active biological processes in different cell types or conditions. Here we introduce the installation and main functionality of the scINSIGHT R package, including how to preprocess the data, apply the scINSIGHT algorithm, and analyze the output.
Even in the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, which took avery different course globally, there were indications that socio-economic factors influenced the dynamics of disease spread, which from the second phase (September 2020) onwards particularly affected people with alower socio-economic status. Such effects can also be seen within alarge city. The present study visualizes and examines the spatio-temporal spread of all COVID-19cases reported in Cologne, Germany (February 2020-October 2021) at district level and their possible association with socio-economic factors.
Pseudonymized data of all COVID-19cases reported in Cologne were geo-coded and their distribution was mapped in an age-standardized way at district level over fourperiods and compared with the distribution of social factors. The possible influence of the selected factors was also examined in aregression analysis in amodel with case growth rates.
The small-scale local infection process changed during the pandemic. Neighborhoods with weaker socio-economic indices showed higher incidence over alarge part of the pandemic course, with apositive correlation between poverty risk factors and age-standardized incidence. The strength of this correlation changed over time.
The timely observation and analysis of the local spread dynamics reveals the positive correlation of disadvantaging socio-economic factors on the incidence rate of COVID-19 at the level of alarge city and can help steer local containment measures in atargeted manner.

However, it is really challenging to simultaneously achieve materials with superhydrophobicity, high EMI shielding performance, and long-term stability of these materials that can operate around the clock in harsh service conditions. Herein, a novel strategy to create an integrated microskeleton magnetic nanofiller composite (IMMNC) with exceptional liquid repellency, enhanced EMI shielding effectiveness, and extreme environment reliability is reported. The superhydrophobicity of the IMMNC was maintained after extreme mechanical and chemical damage due to the synergistic enhancement between epoxy-silicone oligomers/polymerized rosin and microskeleton. Consecutively hierarchical micro/nanoarchitectures and conductive pathways endow the IMMNC with a high EMI shielding effectiveness up to 80.7 dB and a satisfactory antifouling capacity for solid and water-based contaminants.
