    Abstract Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease. Complementary and alternative therapies are increasingly utilized to address its complex multisystem symptomatology. Art therapy involves motoric action and visuospatial processing while promoting broad biopsychosocial wellness. The process involves hedonic absorption, which provides an escape from otherwise persistent and cumulative PD symptoms, refreshing internal resources. It involves the expression in nonverbal form of multilayered psychological and somatic phenomena; once these are externalized in a symbolic arts medium, they can be explored, understood, integrated, and reorganized through verbal dialogue, effecting relief and positive change.
    Methods: 42 participants with mild to moderate PD were treated with 20 sessions of group art therapy. They were assessed before and after therapy with a novel arts-based instrument developed to match the treatment modality for maximum sensitivity. The House-Tree-Person PD Scale (HTP-PDS) assesses motoric and visuospatial processing-core PD symptoms-as well as cognition (thought and logic), affect/mood, motivation, self (including body-image, self-image, and self- efficacy), interpersonal functioning, creativity, and overall level of functioning. It was hypothesized that art therapy will ameliorate core PD symptoms and that this will correlate with improvements in all other variables.
    Results: HTP-PDS scores across all symptoms and variables improved significantly, though causality among variables was indeterminate.
    Discussion: Art therapy is a clinically efficacious complementary treatment for PD. Further research is warranted to disentangle causal pathways among the aforementioned variables, and additionally, to isolate and examine the multiple, discrete healing mechanisms believed to operate simultaneously in art therapy.

    Abstract A dose-based compliance methodology was developed for Waste Control Specialists, LLC, low-level radioactive waste facility in Andrews, Texas, that allows routine environmental measurement data to be evaluated not only at the end of a year to determine regulatory compliance, but also throughout the year as new data become available, providing a continuous assessment of the facility. The first step in the methodology is a screening step to determine the potential presence of site emissions in the environment, and screening levels are established for each environmental media sampled. The screening accounts for spatial variations observed in background for soil and temporal fluctuations observed in background for air. For groundwater, the natural activity concentrations in groundwater wells at the facility are highly variable, and therefore the methodology uses ratios for screening levels. The methodology compares the ratio of gross alpha to U + U to identify potentially abnormal alpha activity and the ratio of U to U to identify the potential presence of depleted uranium. Compliance evaluation is conducted for any samples that fail the screening step. Compliance evaluation uses the radionuclide-specific measurements to first determine (1) if the dose exceeds the background dose and if so, (2) the dose consequences, so that the appropriate investigation or action occurs. The compliance evaluation is applied to all environmental samples throughout the year and on an annual basis to determine regulatory compliance. The methodology is implemented in a cloud-based software application that is also made accessible to the regulator. The benefits of the methodology over the existing system are presented.

    Abstract Rock fragments of the Cb-type asteroid Ryugu returned to Earth by the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission share mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic properties with the Ivuna-type (CI) carbonaceous chondrites. Similar to CI chondrites, these fragments underwent extensive aqueous alteration and consist predominantly of hydrous minerals likely formed in the presence of liquid water on the Ryugu parent asteroid. Here we present an in situ analytical survey performed by secondary ion mass spectrometry from which we have estimated the D/H ratio of Ryugu's hydrous minerals, D/HRyugu, to be [165 ± 19] × 10⁻⁶, which corresponds to δDRyugu = +59 ± 121‰ (2σ). The hydrous mineral D/HRyugu's values for the two sampling sites on Ryugu are similar; they are also similar to the estimated D/H ratio of hydrous minerals in the CI chondrites Orgueil and Alais. This result reinforces a link between Ryugu and CI chondrites and an inference that Ryugu's samples, which avoided terrestrial contamination, are our best proxy to estimate the composition of water at the origin of hydrous minerals in CI-like material. Based on this data and recent literature studies, the contribution of CI chondrites to the hydrogen of Earth's surficial reservoirs is evaluated to be ∼3%. We conclude that the water responsible for the alteration of Ryugu's rocks was derived from water ice precursors inherited from the interstellar medium; the ice partially re-equilibrated its hydrogen with the nebular H₂ before being accreted on the Ryugu's parent asteroid.

    Abstract Background: Opioids have been linked to worse oncologic outcomes in surgical patients. Studies in certain cancer types have identified associations between survival and intra-tumoural opioid receptor gene alterations, but no study has investigated whether the tumour genome interacts with opioid exposure to affect survival. We sought to determine whether intraoperative opioid exposure is associated with recurrence-specific survival and overall survival in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, and whether selected tumour genomics are associated with this relationship. Associations between ketamine and dexmedetomidine and outcomes were also studied.
    Methods: Surgical patients (N=740) with pathological stage I-III lung adenocarcinoma and next-generation sequencing data were retrospectively reviewed from a prospectively maintained database.
    Results: On multivariable analysis, ketamine administration was protective for recurrence-specific survival (hazard ratio = 0.44, 95% confidence interval 0.24-0.80; P=0.007), compared with no adjunct. Higher intraoperative oral morphine milligram equivalents were significantly associated with worse overall survival (hazard ratio=1.09/10 morphine milligram equivalents, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.17; P=0.010). Significant interaction effects were found between morphine milligram equivalents and fraction genome altered and morphine milligram equivalents and CDKN2A, such that higher fraction genome altered or CDKN2A alterations were associated with worse overall survival at higher morphine milligram equivalents (P=0.044 and P=0.052, respectively). In contrast, alterations in the Wnt (P=0.029) and Hippo (P=0.040) oncogenic pathways were associated with improved recurrence-specific survival at higher morphine milligram equivalents, compared with unaltered pathways.
    Conclusions: Intraoperative opioid exposure is associated with worse overall survival, whereas ketamine exposure is associated with improved recurrence-specific survival in patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. This is the first study to investigate tumour-specific genomic interactions with intraoperative opioid administration to modify survival associations.

    Abstract Background: Nitazoxanide exerts antiviral activity
    Methods: A multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 19 hospitals in Brazil. Hospitalized adult patients requiring supplemental oxygen, with COVID-19 symptoms and a chest computed tomography scan suggestive of viral pneumonia or positive RT-PCR test for COVID-19 were enrolled. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive nitazoxanide (500 mg) or placebo, 3 times daily, for 5 days, and were followed for 14 days. The primary outcome was intensive care unit admission due to the need for invasive mechanical ventilation. Secondary outcomes included clinical improvement, hospital discharge, oxygen requirements, death, and adverse events within 14 days.
    Results: Of the 498 patients, 405 (202 in the nitazoxanide group and 203 in the placebo group) were included in the analyses. Admission to the intensive care unit did not differ between the groups (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval], 0.68 [0.38-1.20],
    Conclusions: Nitazoxanide, compared with placebo, did not prevent admission to the intensive care unit for patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia.
