The commercial promotion of electronic cigarettes on social media and its influence on positive perceptions of vaping and vaping behaviours in Anglophone countries: A scoping review.

There is ongoing scientific and policy debate about the role e-cigarettes play in tobacco control, with concerns centring around unknown long-term effects, and the potential industry co-option of harm reduction efforts, including marketing to youths. There is substantial evidence of the influence of conventional cigarette promotion on smoking behaviours in Anglophone countries, and the popularity of social networking sites, as well as the lack of marketing regulations on the commercial promotion of electronic cigarettes online, suggest an urgent need to explore this topic further. This scoping review aims to map the existing evidence related to the influence of e-cigarette commercial promotion on social media on positive perceptions of vaping and vaping behaviours in core Anglophone countries. Searches were conducted in CENTRAL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), Embase, Epistemonikos, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Science Citation Index, on the 21st of July 2022. From 1,385 studies, 11 articles were included in the final review, using diverse study designs, including focus groups, content analysis, cross-sectional studies, and experiments. The studies were primarily based in the U.S. and evidenced the association between the commercial promotion of e-cigarettes on social media with positive perceptions of vaping and vaping behaviours, particularly among young people, addressing diverse themes including celebrities' sponsorship, e-liquid appeal (including flavours and nicotine levels), users' engagement with ads, and other marketing strategies. Further, social networking sites commercially promoting e-cigarettes might increase positive attitudes towards vaping and vaping behaviours, particularly among youths. Future research should be conducted in broader settings, incorporate larger and diverse sample sizes, ensure research transparency, cover multiple social networking sites, emphasize ecological validity, and foment longitudinal studies.

Fully kinetic simulations of strong steady-state collisional planar plasma shocks.

We report on simulations of strong, steady-state collisional planar plasma shocks with fully kinetic ions and electrons, independently confirmed by two fully kinetic codes (an Eulerian continuum and a Lagrangian particle-in-cell). While kinetic electrons do not fundamentally change the shock structure as compared with fluid electrons, we find an appreciable rearrangement of the preheat layer, associated with nonlocal electron heat transport effects. The electron heat-flux profile qualitatively agrees between kinetic- and fluid-electron models, suggesting a certain level of "stiffness," though substantial nonlocality is observed in the kinetic heat flux. We also find good agreement with nonlocal electron heat-flux closures proposed in the literature. Finally, in contrast to the classical hydrodynamic picture, we find a significant collapse in the "precursor" electric-field shock at the preheat layer leading edge, which correlates with the electron-temperature gradient relaxation.

Bone remodeling, around an anatomical hip stem: a one year prospective study using DEXA. / Estudio prospectivo del remodelado óseo femoral alrededor de un vástago anatómico de cadera: un año de seguimiento densitométrico.

INTRODUCTION: The loss of bone mass, as a consequence of bone remodelling, in the proximal third of the femur, is a factor that contributes to the failure of hip prostheses in the medium to long term. This periprosthetic remodelling occurs mainly during the first 12 months after the operation. The aim is to evaluate the behaviour at one year of a new anatomical stem, the ANATO® stem (2015-Stryker®), which is a redesign of its predecessor (ABG-ii®-Stryker stem) by means of bone densitometry. METHOD: Prospective, controlled study in which the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) observed around the seven areas of Gruen in a group of 61 patients affected by primary coxarthrosis, in whom an ANATO® stem was implanted, are analysed densitometrically. The healthy hip was taken as the control group. The existence of differences in the remodelling pattern according to sex, age and body mass index (BMI) was compared. The follow-up was during the first year after the intervention. RESULTS: After one year of follow-up, decreases of bone mineral density in zone seven of -5.9% were observed, being this decrease statistically significant. No differences were found in the remodelling pattern according to age, sex and body mass index. CONCLUSION: The ANATO® stem allows an efficient transmission of loads from the stem to the proximal femur. Only in zone seven significant bone atrophy is observed. Differences in age, BMI and sex do not seem to influence the bone remodelling around this new stem.

Spontaneous transport barriers quench turbulent resistivity in two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics.

This Rapid Communication identifies the physical mechanism for the quench of turbulent resistivity in two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics. Without an imposed, ordered magnetic field, a multiscale, blob-and-barrier structure of magnetic potential forms spontaneously. Magnetic energy is concentrated in thin, linear barriers, located at the interstices between blobs. The barriers quench the transport and kinematic decay of magnetic energy. The local transport bifurcation underlying barrier formation is linked to the inverse cascade of 〈A^{2}〉 and negative resistivity, which induce local bistability. For small-scale forcing, spontaneous layering of the magnetic potential occurs, with barriers located at the interstices between layers. This structure is effectively a magnetic staircase.

Observations of Multiple Nuclear Reaction Histories and Fuel-Ion Species Dynamics in Shock-Driven Inertial Confinement Fusion Implosions.

Fuel-ion species dynamics in hydrodynamiclike shock-driven DT^{3}He-filled inertial confinement fusion implosion is quantitatively assessed for the first time using simultaneously measured D^{3}He and DT reaction histories. These reaction histories are measured with the particle x-ray temporal diagnostic, which captures the relative timing between different nuclear burns with unprecedented precision (∼10 ps). The observed 50±10 ps earlier D^{3}He reaction history timing (relative to DT) cannot be explained by average-ion hydrodynamic simulations and is attributed to fuel-ion species separation between the D, T, and ^{3}He ions during shock convergence and rebound. At the onset of the shock burn, inferred ^{3}He/T fuel ratio in the burn region using the measured reaction histories is much higher as compared to the initial gas-filled ratio. As T and ^{3}He have the same mass but different charge, these results indicate that the charge-to-mass ratio plays an important role in driving fuel-ion species separation during strong shock propagation even for these hydrodynamiclike plasmas.

[Functional connectivity derived from an electroencephalogram during non-REM sleep in autism spectrum disorders]. / Conectividad funcional derivada del electroencefalograma durante el sueño no REM en los trastornos del espectro autista.

AIM: To know the differences in the patterns of functional connectivity, the topological characteristics of the network and the relationship between these latter and the interictal epileptiform anomalies in children with primary and secondary autism spectrum disorder (ASD). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted with 27 children aged between 3 and 13 years diagnosed with ASD. Subjects were submitted to an electroencephalogram in a functional state of spontaneous sleep. Functional connectivity and the properties of the network were analysed using data obtained from the electroencephalogram during the N2 stage of non-REM sleep. The frequency of discharge of the interictal epileptiform activity (FDIEA) was determined and was correlated with the topological properties of the network. RESULTS: Synchronisation was diminished in patients with secondary ASD for the alpha frequency and increased for the theta and delta frequency compared with patients with primary ASD. Local alpha efficiency was higher in patients who presented interictal epileptiform activity. Additionally, in patients with secondary ASD there was a statistically significant positive and negative correlation between FDIEA and the topological properties of the network. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with secondary ASD display patterns of functional connectivity that are weaker for the alpha frequency and stronger for theta and delta than patients with primary ASD. In patients with secondary ASD, the interictal epileptiform activity is related to local and global connectivity of the network for the alpha and beta bands during non-REM sleep.

TITLE: Conectividad funcional derivada del electroencefalograma durante el sueño no REM en los trastornos del espectro autista.Objetivo. Conocer las diferencias en los patrones de conectividad funcional, las caracteristicas topologicas de la red y la relacion de estas con las anomalias epileptiformes interictales en niños con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) primario y secundario. Pacientes y metodos. Se realizo un estudio retrospectivo con 27 niños de 3-13 años diagnosticados con TEA, a los que se les realizo un electroencefalograma en estado funcional de sueño espontaneo. Se analizo la conectividad funcional y las propiedades de la red a partir de los datos obtenidos del electroencefalograma durante la etapa N2 del sueño no REM. Se determino la frecuencia de descarga de la actividad epileptiforme interictal (FDAEI) y se correlaciono con las propiedades topologicas de la red. Resultados. Los pacientes con TEA secundario tenian una disminucion de la sincronizacion para la frecuencia alfa y un incremento para la frecuencia theta y delta en comparacion con los pacientes con TEA primario. La eficiencia local alfa fue mayor en los pacientes que presentaban actividad epileptiforme interictal. Ademas, en los pacientes con TEA secundario, existia una correlacion positiva y negativa estadisticamente significativa entre la FDAEI y las propiedades topologicas de red. Conclusiones. Los pacientes con TEA secundario muestran patrones de conectividad funcional mas debiles para la frecuencia alfa y mas fuerte para la theta y delta que los pacientes con TEA primario. En pacientes con TEA secundario, la actividad epileptiforme interictal se relaciona con la conectividad local y global de la red para las bandas de frecuencia alfa y beta durante el sueño no REM.

Formation and evolution of target patterns in Cahn-Hilliard flows.

We study the evolution of the concentration field in a single eddy in the two-dimensional (2D) Cahn-Hilliard system to better understand scalar mixing processes in that system. This study extends investigations of the classic studies of flux expulsion in 2D magnetohydrodynamics and homogenization of potential vorticity in 2D fluids. Simulation results show that there are three stages in the evolution: (A) formation of a "jelly roll" pattern, for which the concentration field is constant along spirals; (B) a change in isoconcentration contour topology; and (C) formation of a target pattern, for which the isoconcentration contours follow concentric annuli. In the final target pattern stage, the isoconcentration bands align with stream lines. The results indicate that the target pattern is a metastable state. The band merger process continues on a time scale exponentially long relative to the eddy turnover time. The band merger process resembles step merger in drift-ZF staircases; this is characteristic of the long-time evolution of phase-separated patterns described by the Cahn-Hilliard equation.

A Particle X-ray Temporal Diagnostic (PXTD) for studies of kinetic, multi-ion effects, and ion-electron equilibration rates in Inertial Confinement Fusion plasmas at OMEGA (invited).

A Particle X-ray Temporal Diagnostic (PXTD) has been implemented on OMEGA for simultaneous time-resolved measurements of several nuclear products as well as the x-ray continuum produced in High Energy Density Plasmas and Inertial Confinement Fusion implosions. The PXTD removes systematic timing uncertainties typically introduced by using multiple instruments, and it has been used to measure DD, DT, D3He, and T3He reaction histories and the emission history of the x-ray core continuum with relative timing uncertainties within ±10-20 ps. This enables, for the first time, accurate and simultaneous measurements of the x-ray emission histories, nuclear reaction histories, their time differences, and measurements of Ti(t) and Te(t) from which an assessment of multiple-ion-fluid effects, kinetic effects during the shock-burn phase, and ion-electron equilibration rates can be made.

Role of Ion Kinetic Physics in the Interaction of Magnetic Flux Ropes.

To explain many natural magnetized plasma phenomena, it is crucial to understand how rates of collisionless magnetic reconnection scale in large magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) scale systems. Simulations of isolated current sheets conclude such rates are independent of system size and can be reproduced by the Hall-MHD model, but neglect sheet formation and coupling to MHD scales. Here, it is shown for the problem of flux-rope merging, which includes this formation and coupling, that the Hall-MHD model fails to reproduce the kinetic results. The minimum sufficient model must retain ion kinetic effects, which set the ion diffusion region geometry and give time-averaged rates that reduce significantly with system size, leading to different global evolution in large systems.

Corpora amylacea in the neocortex in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and focal cortical dysplasia.

INTRODUCTION: Corpora amylacea (CoA) are present in about 60% of atrophic hippocampi resected from patients with drug resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (DRTLE). They have also been described in the lateral temporal neocortex, although less frequently. OBJECTIVE: The objective is to measure the presence, distribution and density of CoA in the lateral temporal lobes of patients with DRTLE and focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), also examining how CoA density may be linked to demographic and clinical traits. METHODS: Resected tissue from 35 patients was analysed. CoA density was assessed with a semi-quantitative scale according to the criteria established by Cherian et al. RESULTS: Presence of CoA in the neocortex of 9 patients was associated with hippocampal sclerosis (FCD type iiia, 7 cases), disembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour (FCD type iiib, 1 case), and cavernous angioma (FCD type iiic, 1 case). The meningeal surface (MS) was involved in all cases, and 8 cases displayed CoA in the cerebral parenchyma (white matter) and around blood vessels. CoA density on the MS showed a negative correlation with age at seizure onset (r = -0.828, P<.05) and a positive correlation with disease duration (r = 0.678, P<.05) but not with postoperative clinical outcome. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with DRTLE and a primary lesion (hippocampal sclerosis, tumour, vascular malformation) associated with mild FCD were shown to have CoA deposits in the neocortex. No association was found between presence of CoA and clinical outcome one year after surgery.

Experimental-like helical self-organization in reversed-field pinch modeling.

We report the first nonlinear three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerical simulations of the reversed-field pinch (RFP) that exhibit a systematic repetition of quasisingle helicity states with the same dominant mode in between reconnection events. This distinctive feature of experimental self-organized helical RFP plasmas is reproduced in MHD simulations at low dissipation by allowing a helical modulation of the plasma magnetic boundary similar to the experimental one. Realistic mode amplitudes and magnetic topology are also found.

Relación entre los resultados del Electroencefalograma digital y la evaluación clínica, neuropsicológica e imagenológica en pacientes con diagnóstico clínico de Parálisis Cerebral / Relation between digital Electroencephalogram clinic results, neuropsychological and imagenologic evaluation in patients with cerebral palsy clinic diagnostic

Objetivo: Evaluar la relación existente entre los resultados del Electroencefalograma (EEG) digital y las anomalías clínicas, neuropsicológicas e imagenológicas detectadas en pacientes con el diagnóstico clínico de Parálisis Cerebral (PC). Sujetos y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo longitudinal retrospectivo de los informes de EEG emitidos por un especialista en Neurofisiología clínica en 64 pacientes con el diagnóstico clínico de PC. Los datos fueron registrados desde enero del año 2000 hasta diciembre del año 2005 en el Laboratorio de Neurofisiología Clínica del CIREN. Incluimos a pacientes con edades entre 2 y 15 años, con diagnóstico revisado de la historia clínica de PC. Se tabularon las variables evaluadas en los registros de EEG, y se relacionaron con variables clínicas, neuropsicológicas e imagenológicas. Todos los registros se realizaron en un Equipo MEDICID 4 Neuronic SA de producción cubana con el software Track Walker 2. Resultados: Se obtuvo que el 79 % del los registros electroencefalográficos fueron patológicos. Predominó la actividad epileptiforme en un 58%. El tipo de PC en nuestra casuística fue la espástica para un 50%. La causa de la PC fue perinatal en un 43%. Las enfermedades asociadas fueron Retardo del desarrollo psicomotor (RDP), Retraso mental (RM) y epilepsia. Se evidenció una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la presencia de actividad epileptiforme y la epilepsia, entre los resultados del EEG y la presencia de lesión bilateral, así como entre la actividad epileptiforme y la presencia de RM, RDP y epilepsia. Conclusiones: Se constata una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre las anomalías epileptiformes y el diagnóstico clínico de epilepsia en pacientes con PC. Las anomalías del EEG se asocian mayormente con la extensión bilateral de la afectación motora, y con las lesiones detectadas mediante los estudios de Resonancia Magnética Nuclear (RMN). Existe una tendencia a la asociación entre las alteraciones Electroencefalográficas, el tipo de PC y la presencia de retardo en el desarrollo psicomotor y retraso mental. El EEG es un medio diagnóstico útil en la evaluación funcional de los pacientes con PC (AU)

Objetive: To evaluate the relation between digital Electroencephalogram (EEG) results and clinic, neuropsychological and imagenologic anomaly detected in patients with Cerebral Palsy (CP) diagnosis. Subject and method: Descriptive longitudinal retrospective study was made of EEG informs emitted by a clinical neurophysiologic specialist in 64 patients with CP diagnosis. The information was recorded from January 2000 to December 2005 in a Clinical Neurophysiologist laboratory of the International Center of Neurological Restoration. It included patients between 2 and 15 years old, with CP diagnostic checked in clinical history. The variables assessed were tabulated in EEG records and were associated to clinical, neuropsychology and imagenologic variables. All recordings were performed with the MEDICID 4 Neuronic SA equipment made in Cuba with Track Walker 2 software. Results: 79 % of the electroencephalographic records were pathological. In 58% of the cases there was a predominance of epileptiform activity. 50% suffered from spastic CP. The cause of CP was perinatal in 43%. The other associated conditions were Phychomotor Retardation (PR), Mental Delay (MD) and epilepsy. There was a statistically significant association between the presence of epileptiform activity and epilepsy between the EEG records and bilateral lesion and between the epileptiform activity and the presence of MD, PR and epilepsy. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the exististence of a statistically significant association between epileptiform anomaly and epilepsy clinical diagnosis. It was confirmed that EEG anomaly is associated with bilateral extension of motor affectation and lesions detected with Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) studies. There was an association tendency between electroencephalographic alteration, CP type, PR and MD presence. EEG is a useful diagnostic way for the functional evaluation of CP patients (AU)

Flux pileup in collisionless magnetic reconnection: bursty interaction of large flux ropes.

Using fully kinetic simulations of the island coalescence problem for a range of system sizes greatly exceeding kinetic scales, the phenomenon of flux pileup in the collisionless regime is demonstrated. While small islands on the scale of λ ≤ 5 ion inertial length (d(i)) coalesce rapidly and do not support significant flux pileup, coalescence of larger islands is characterized by large flux pileup and a weaker time averaged reconnection rate that scales as √(d(i)/λ) while the peak rate remains nearly independent of island size. For the largest islands (λ = 100d(i)), reconnection is bursty and nearly shuts off after the first bounce, reconnecting ~20% of the available flux.

Local and nonlocal parallel heat transport in general magnetic fields.

A novel approach for the study of parallel transport in magnetized plasmas is presented. The method avoids numerical pollution issues of grid-based formulations and applies to integrable and chaotic magnetic fields with local or nonlocal parallel closures. In weakly chaotic fields, the method gives the fractal structure of the devil's staircase radial temperature profile. In fully chaotic fields, the temperature exhibits self-similar spatiotemporal evolution with a stretched-exponential scaling function for local closures and an algebraically decaying one for nonlocal closures. It is shown that, for both closures, the effective radial heat transport is incompatible with the quasilinear diffusion model.
