    Abstract The number of scholarly journal articles published each year is growing, but little is known about the relationship between journal article growth and other forms of scholarly dissemination (e.g., books and monographs). Journal articles are the de facto currency of evaluation and prestige in STEM fields, but social scientists routinely publish books as well as articles, representing a unique opportunity to study increased article publications in disciplines with other dissemination options. We studied the publishing activity of social science faculty members in 12 disciplines at 290 Ph.D. granting institutions in the United States between 2011 and 2019, asking: 1) have publication practices changed such that more or fewer books and articles are written now than in the recent past?; 2) has the percentage of scholars actively participating in a particular publishing type changed over time?; and 3) do different age cohorts evince different publication strategies? In all disciplines, journal articles per person increased between 3% and 64% between 2011 and 2019, while books per person decreased by at least 31% and as much as 54%. All age cohorts show increased article authorship over the study period, and early career scholars author more articles per person than the other cohorts in eight disciplines. The article-dominated literatures of the social sciences are becoming increasingly similar to those of STEM disciplines.

    Abstract Transfusion reactions are common occurrences, and clinicians who order or transfuse blood components need to be able to recognize adverse sequelae of transfusion. The differential diagnosis of any untoward clinical event should always consider adverse sequelae of transfusion, even when transfusion occurred weeks earlier. There is no pathognomonic sign or symptom that differentiates a transfusion reaction from other potential medical problems, so vigilance is required during and after transfusion when a patient presents with a change in clinical status. This review covers the presentation, mechanisms, and management of transfusion reactions that are commonly encountered, and those that can be life-threatening.

    Abstract Objective: The primary aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the biophysical structure and function of modern suture materials. Particularly the suture's ability to withstand the stressors of surgery and how the material properties affect knot stability. The secondary aim was to investigate the effect that different knots have on the suture material itself. This study builds on previous research assessing suture and knot characteristics but in modern Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) materials currently in widespread clinical use in arthroscopic surgery.
    Methods: Three common UHMWPE sutures and one polyester suture were tested in both a dry and wet state using the Geelong, Nicky's, Surgeon's and Tautline knots. Tensile strength of knots was tested vertically at a 60 mm/min strain rate and 45 mm gauge length. Sutures were tied through a cannula around two 8 mm diameter circular bollards. Testing was conducted in a controlled environment temperature and humidity environment (20 ± 2 °C, 65 ± 2%).
    Results: No one knot type was optimal over all suture types. Mean tensile strength in both a dry and wet state and a low coefficient of variation (CV) in tensile strength in a wet state were considered as an indication of suitability. With Ethibond sutures this was the Geelong knot (CV:4.2%). With Orthocord sutures both the Geelong and Tautline knots (CV:4.2% and CV:11.9% respectively). With FiberWire sutures the Nickys and Tautline knots (CV:22.6% and CV:22.5% respectively). With ForceFiber sutures all four knots exhibited similar wet tensile strength with high variability showing that all should perform in a similar way
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates a statistically significant three-way interaction between polyblend suture materials, the knot and the environment. This has implications for knot security using the tested sutures in different environments, as one knot may not behave the same under all conditions.

    Abstract The prognosis for glioblastoma has remained poor despite multimodal standard of care treatment, including temozolomide, radiation, and surgical resection. Further, the addition of immunotherapies, while promising in a number of other solid tumors, has overwhelmingly failed in the treatment of gliomas, in part due to the immunosuppressive microenvironment and poor drug penetrance to the brain. Local delivery of immunomodulatory therapies circumvents some of these challenges and has led to long-term remission in select patients. Many of these approaches utilize convection-enhanced delivery (CED) for immunological drug delivery, allowing high doses to be delivered directly to the brain parenchyma, avoiding systemic toxicity. Here, we review the literature encompassing immunotherapies delivered via CED-from preclinical model systems to clinical trials-and explore how their unique combination elicits an antitumor response by the immune system, decreases toxicity, and improves survival among select high-grade glioma patients.

    Abstract The continuous monitoring of remote drinking water purification systems is a global challenge with direct consequences for human and environmental health. Here, we utilise a "nano-tastebud" sensor comprised of eight chemically-tailored plasmonic metasurfaces, for testing the composition of drinking water. Through undertaking a full chemometric analysis of the water samples and likely contaminants we were able to optimise the sensor specification to create an array of suitable tastebuds. By generating a unique set of optical responses for each water sample, we show that the array-based sensor can differentiate between untreated influent and treated effluent water with over 95% accuracy in flow and can detect compositional changes in distributed modified tap water. Once fully developed, this system could be integrated into water treatment facilities and distribution systems to monitor for changes in water composition.
