Abstract	Background: Delays or failure to complete a dermatologic referral may affect health care outcomes. Factors associated with these delays remain understudied. Objective: This study investigated socioeconomic and demographic factors associated with delays or failure to complete dermatology referrals and potential impact on surgical outcomes. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for 400 patients internally referred to an academic dermatology center from 19 primary-care clinics from July 2018 to June 2019. Only patients referred after an in-person primary-care visit in which the provider documented a specific concerning lesion were included. Multivariate analyses were performed to explore variables associated with delays or failure to complete dermatology referrals. Results: Patients were more likely to complete their referral if they had a personal history (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 7.843, 95% CI 1.383-14.304) or family history (aOR = 11.307, 95% CI 2.344-20.27) of skin cancer. Patients were more likely to delay referral completion past 30 days if they were ages 18 to 34 (aOR = 6.665, 95% CI 1.285-12.044) and less likely to delay referral past 30 days if they had a previous history of skin cancer (aOR = 0.531, 95% CI 0.181-0.882). Limitations: Single institution, retrospective study, limited surgical patients. Conclusion: Understanding factors associated with delays in dermatology referral completion can help identify at-risk patient populations.

Abstract	Decades of community ecology research have highlighted the importance of resource availability, habitat heterogeneity, and colonization opportunities in driving biodiversity. Less clear, however, is whether a similar suite of factors explains the diversity of symbionts. Here, we used a hierarchical dataset involving 12,712 freshwater snail hosts representing five species to test the relative importance of potential factors in driving symbiont richness. Specifically, we used model selection to assess the explanatory power of variables related to host species identity, resource availability (average body size, host density), ecological heterogeneity (richness of hosts and other taxa), and colonization opportunities (wetland size and amount of neighboring wetland area) on symbiont richness in 146 snail host populations in California, USA. We encountered a total of 23 taxa of symbionts, including both obligatory parasites such as digenetic trematodes as well as more commensal, mutualistic, or opportunistic groups such as aquatic insect larvae, annelids, and leeches. After validating richness estimates per host population using species accumulative curves, we detected positive effects on symbiont richness from host body size, total richness of the aquatic community, and colonization opportunities. Neither snail density nor the richness of snail species accounted for significant variation in symbiont diversity. Host species identity also affected symbiont richness, with higher gamma and average alpha diversity among more common host species with higher local abundances. These findings highlight the importance of multiple, concurrent factors in driving symbiont richness that extend beyond epidemiological measures of host abundance or host diversity alone.

Abstract	Introduction: Undernutrition leading to unplanned weight loss is common in older age and has been linked to increased dementia risk in later life. Weight loss can precede dementia by a decade or more, providing a unique opportunity for early intervention to correct undernutrition and potentially prevent or delay cognitive impairment. The combined effects of diet and exercise on undernutrition have not yet been evaluated. The objective of this trial is to determine the effect of a protein-enriched Mediterranean diet, with and without exercise, on nutritional status and cognitive performance in older adults at risk of undernutrition and cognitive decline. Methods: One hundred and five participants aged 60 years and over at risk of undernutrition and with subjective cognitive decline will be recruited to participate in a 6-month, single-blind, parallel-group randomised controlled trial. Participants will be block randomised into one of three groups: group 1-PROMED-EX (diet+exercise), group 2-PROMED (diet only) and group 3-standard care (control). The primary outcome is nutritional status measured using the Mini Nutritional Assessment. Secondary outcomes include cognitive function, nutritional intake, body composition, physical function and quality of life. Mechanistic pathways for potential diet and exercise-induced change in nutritional status and cognition will be explored by measuring inflammatory, metabolic, nutritional and metabolomic biomarkers. Ethics and dissemination: The study is approved by the UK Office for Research Ethics Committee (ref: 21/NW/0215). Written informed consent will be obtained from participants prior to recruitment. Research results will be disseminated to the public via meetings and media and the scientific community through conference presentations and publication in academic journals. Trial registration number: ClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT05166564).

Article: No Unique Scaling Law for Igneous Dikes

Abstract: ... a significant issue arises in that derived KIC=300to3000MPam ${K}_{IC}=300\,\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\,3000\,\mathrm ...

Abstract	In linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), veins, dikes, and sills grow in length when the stress intensity factor KI ${K}_{I}$ at the tip reaches a critical value: the host rock fracture toughness KIc ${K}_{Ic}$. This criterion is applied broadly in LEFM models for crack growth and it is often assumed that the pressure inside the crack is uniform. When applied to intrusion length versus thickness scaling, a significant issue arises in that derived KIC=300to3000MPam ${K}_{IC}=300\,\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\,3000\,\mathrm{M}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}\,\sqrt{m}$, which is about 100–1,000 times that of measured KIc ${K}_{Ic}$ values for rocks at upper crustal depths. The same scaling relationships applied to comparatively short mineral vein data gives KIc<10MPam ${K}_{Ic}< 10\,\mathrm{M}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}\,\sqrt{m}$, approaching the expected range. Here we propose that intrusions preserve non‐equilibrated pressures as cracks controlled by kinetics, and therefore cannot be treated in continuum with fracture‐controlled constant pressure (equilibrium) structures such as veins, or many types of scaled analogue model. Early stages of dike growth (inflation) give rise to increasing length and thickness, but magma pressure gradients within intrusions may serve to drive late‐stage lengthening at the expense of maximum thickness (relaxation). For cracks in 2D, we find that intrusion scaling in non‐equilibrium growth is controlled by the magma injection rate and initial dike scaling, effective (2D) host rock modulus, magma viscosity and cooling rate, which are different for all individual intrusions and sets of intrusions. A solidified intrusion can therefore achieve its final dimensions via many routes, with relaxation acting as a potentially significant factor, hence there is no unique scaling law for dike intrusions.

Abstract	Continuous stress exposure negatively impacts mental and physical well-being. Physiological arousal due to stress affects heartbeat frequency, changes breathing pattern and peripheral temperature, among several other bodily responses. Traditionally stress detection is performed by collecting signals such as electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, and skin conductance response using uncomfortable sensors such as a chestband. In this study, we use earbuds that passively measure photoplethysmography (PPG), core body temperature, and inertial measurements. We have conducted a lab study exposing 18 participants to an evaluated speech task and additional tasks aimed at increasing stress or promoting relaxation. We simultaneously collected PPG, ECG, impedance cardiography (ICG), and blood pressure using laboratory grade equipment as reference measurements. We show that the earbud PPG sensor can reliably capture heart rate and heart rate variability. We further show that earbud signals can be used to classify the physiological responses associated with stress with 91.30% recall, 80.52% precision, and 85.12% F1-score using a random forest classifier with leave-one-subject-out cross-validation. The accuracy can further be improved through multi-modal sensing. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using earbuds for passively monitoring users' physiological responses.

Abstract	Evaluate the impact of a revised version of the Illinois Junior Chefs (IJC) program using pre- and post-intervention surveys and observational assessments of hands-on cooking skills.To date, evaluations of nutrition education and cooking programs in youth have been limited to self-reported assessments of cooking skills. Along with using an established IJC survey, this study developed a novel observational protocol to assess hands-on cooking skills in youth.Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - Education (SNAP-Ed) eligible youth (n = 591) aged 8-13.IJC is a hands-on culinary and nutrition education program implemented by the University of Illinois Office of Extension and Outreach. IJC is taught over five 2-hour lessons which include nutrition education, culinary skill building activities, recipe preparation, and food tastings.Pre- and post-intervention evaluations assessed hands-on cooking skills (observational assessment, n = 37) and psychosocial predictors of dietary behaviors (IJC survey, n = 591).Analyses of surveys indicated participants experienced significant improvements pre- to post-intervention in cooking self-efficacy (t(590) = 18.63, P < .001), cooking attitudes (t(590) = 7.12, P < .001), fruit and vegetable preferences (t(590) = 5.81, P < .001), and cooking behaviors (t(590) = 3.38, P = .001). Pre- to post-intervention analyses of observational data indicated participants experienced significant improvements in their ability to use a peeler (t(36) = 5.11, P < .001), use a grater (t(36) = 5.62, P < .001), beat (t(36) = 5.05, P < .001) and fold (t(36) = 6.67, P < .001) ingredients, measure water (t(36) = 2.47, P = .018), sugar (t(36) = 4.02, P < .001), and flour (t(36) = 7.07, P < .001), and crack eggs (t(36) = 2.70, P = .010).IJC participants experienced significant improvements in cooking self-efficacy, attitudes, behaviors, and food preferences. The observational assessment was established as a feasible data collection method which demonstrated significant improvements in youth participants’ cooking skills.SNAP-Ed, USDA, EFNEP, 4-H Foundation.

Abstract	To assess changes in food pantries’ consumer nutrition environment (CNE) after the provision of technical assistance.Pre-post study with 2 phases.Staff completed observational assessments using the Nutrition Environment Food Pantry Assessment Tool (NEFPAT) at food pantries in an initial pilot phase. Then, staff conducted NEFPAT observations at pantries in Illinois statewide.In the pilot phase, 6 staff assessed 28 pantries. In the statewide phase, 35 staff assessed 119 pantries.After completing an initial NEFPAT at each pantry, technical assistance was provided by staff to support changes in the pantries’ CNE before another NEFPAT observation was completed.Changes in the CNE, as assessed with the NEFPAT, when comparing preassessment and postassessment.Score differences were evaluated with paired t tests.In the pilot phase, among 23 pantries with preassessment and postassessment data, 2 objectives on the NEFPAT observation increased significantly. In the statewide phase, among 66 pantries with preassessment and postassessment data, most NEFPAT objectives and the overall NEFPAT score (22.12 ± 8.16 vs 28.20 ± 7.14, P < 0.001) significantly increased.Technical assistance provided by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education implementing staff were related to improvements in the CNE of food pantries in Illinois. Future work should evaluate the association of these CNE changes with changes in behavior among pantry patrons.

Abstract	Background: Clinically detectable thyroid nodules occur in up to 4% of the population in the United States. With ultrasound, nodules may be found in up to 50% of those over 50 years of age. Methods: The author reviews his own experience as well as that of others to define a sound clinical approach to the differential diagnosis and detection of thyroid cancer. Results: Prior neck irradiation is a risk factor for thyroid malignancy. The association of a thyroid nodule with enlarged lymph nodes or fixation of the nodule to strap muscles or the trachea suggests malignancy. A diffusely multinodular gland is usually benign. Conclusions: Thyroid function tests rarely help a differential diagnosis. Fine-needle aspiration is the "gold standard" for diagnosis. Tiny "incidentalomas" are often followed with repeat monitoring for change of size or character.

Abstract	Purpose: Although endoscopic staple-assisted esophagodiverticulostomy (ESED) has become the initial treatment of choice for most patients with Zenker's diverticulum (ZD), anatomical restraints prevent its use in all cases. We describe an endoscopic approach for treating ZD using the harmonic scalpel, which can be used in certain cases where diverticulum anatomy precludes ESED. Materials and methods: Medical records of 7 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic repair of ZD using the harmonic scalpel (Harmonic Ace, Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc, Cincinnati, OH) were reviewed. Data collected included demographics, symptoms, surgical details, complications, and postoperative outcomes. Main outcome measures were time to resumption of oral diet, symptom resolution, and complications. Results: All patients (N = 7) who underwent endoscopic repair of ZD using the harmonic scalpel resumed an oral diet at initial follow-up visit after surgery (mean, 7 days; range, 4-9 days) and rated their symptoms as being completely resolved at subsequent follow-up (mean, 4 months; range, 1.5-8 months). There were no complications. Conclusions: Endoscopic repair of ZD using the ultrasonic cutting shears is a safe and efficacious procedure that allows for endoscopic treatment in certain cases that cannot be treated by ESED. Further study is warranted in larger series to determine efficacy and safety compared with established endoscopic techniques.
