    Abstract Background: Arthrofibrosis is a joint disorder characterized by excessive scar formation in the joint tissues. Vitamin E is an antioxidant with potential anti-fibroblastic effect. The aim of this study was to establish an arthrofibrosis rat model after joint replacement and assess the effects of vitamin E supplementation on joint fibrosis.
    Methods: We simulated knee replacement in 16 male Sprague-Dawley rats. We immobilized the surgical leg with a suture in full flexion. The control groups were killed at 2 and 12 weeks (n = 5 per group), and the test group was supplemented daily with vitamin E (0.2 mg/mL) in their drinking water for 12 weeks (n = 6). We performed histological staining to investigate the presence and severity of arthrofibrosis. Immunofluorescent staining and α2-macroglobulin (α2M) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to assess local and systemic inflammation. Static weight bearing (total internal reflection) and range of motion (ROM) were collected for functional assessment.
    Results: The ROM and weight-bearing symmetry decreased after the procedure and recovered slowly with still significant deficit at the end of the study for both groups. Histological analysis confirmed fibrosis in both lateral and posterior periarticular tissue. Vitamin E supplementation showed a moderate anti-inflammatory effect on the local and systemic levels. The vitamin E group exhibited significant improvement in ROM and weight-bearing symmetry at day 84 compared to the control group.
    Conclusions: This model is viable for simulating arthrofibrosis after joint replacement. Vitamin E may benefit postsurgical arthrofibrosis, and further studies are needed for dosing requirements.

    Abstract Sounds carry an abundance of information about activities and events in our everyday environment, such as traffic noise, road works, music, or people talking. Recent machine learning methods, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have been shown to be able to automatically recognize sound activities, a task known as audio tagging. One such method, pre-trained audio neural networks (PANNs), provides a neural network which has been pre-trained on over 500 sound classes from the publicly available AudioSet dataset, and can be used as a baseline or starting point for other tasks. However, the existing PANNs model has a high computational complexity and large storage requirement. This could limit the potential for deploying PANNs on resource-constrained devices, such as on-the-edge sound sensors, and could lead to high energy consumption if many such devices were deployed. In this paper, we reduce the computational complexity and memory requirement of the PANNs model by taking a pruning approach to eliminate redundant parameters from the PANNs model. The resulting Efficient PANNs (E-PANNs) model, which requires 36\% less computations and 70\% less memory, also slightly improves the sound recognition (audio tagging) performance. The code for the E-PANNs model has been released under an open source license.

    Abstract Electronic consultations (e-consults) mediated through an electronic health record system or web-based platform allow synchronous or asynchronous physician-to-physician communication. E-consults have been explored in various clinical specialties, but relatively few instances in the literature describe e-consults to connect health care providers directly with radiologists.The authors outline how a radiology department can implement an e-consult service and review the development of such a service in a large academic health system. They describe the logistics, workflow, turnaround time expectations, stakeholder management, and pilot implementation and highlight challenges and lessons learned.

    Abstract Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are customizable tobacco products that allow users to select e-liquid composition, flavors, and (in some devices) adjust wattage or heat used to generate e-cig aerosol. This study compared vascular outcomes in a conducting vessel (thoracic aorta) and a resistance artery (middle cerebral artery, MCA) in C57Bl/6 mice exposed to e-cig aerosol generated from either pure vegetable glycerin (VG) or pure propylene glycol (PG) over 60-min (Study 1), and separately the effect of using 5- vs. 30-watt settings with an exposure of 100-min (Study 2). In Study 1, aortic endothelial-dependent-dilation (EDD) was only impaired with PG- exposure (p < 0.05) compared with air. In the MCA, EDD response was impaired by ∼50% in both VG and PG groups compared with air (p < 0.05). In Study 2, the aortic EDD responses were not different for either 5- or 30-watt exposed groups compared with air controls; however, in the MCA, both 5- and 30-watt groups were impaired by 32% and 55%, respectively, compared with air controls (p < 0.05). These pre-clinical data provide evidence that chronic exposure to aerosol produced by either VG or PG, and regardless of the wattage used, leads to vascular dysfunction at multiple levels within the arterial system. For all exposures, we observed greater impairment of arterial reactivity in a resistance artery (i.e. MCA) compared with the aorta. These data could suggest the smaller arteries may be more sensitive or first to be affected, or that different mechanism(s) for impairment may be involved depending on arterial hierarchy.

    Abstract Introduction: Many nonregulatory interventions targeting children and youth have been implemented at three levels: directed at the individual (e.g., interactive video games), delivered to students at school (e.g., campus bans), and launched in the community (e.g., mass media campaigns). This systematic review aims to synthesize the evidence on the effectiveness of interventions aimed at preventing e-cigarette initiation among children and youth.
    Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, APA PsycINFO, and Web of Science Core Collection were searched for papers published between January 1, 2004 and September 1, 2022 that reported more than one outcome on vaping prevention among individuals aged less than 21-years-old: vaping prevalence/incidence, initiation intentions, knowledge/attitudes, and other tobacco product use prevalence/initiation intentions. Interventions were at the individual, school, or community level. The risk of bias was assessed using ROBINS-I and RoB 1.
    Results: Thirty-nine publications met the eligibility criteria. Fourteen individually-based (4 parental monitoring, 3 video games, 2 text messages, 3 graphic message themes, 2 healthcare), 19 school-based (14 educational and skill interventions, 5 vape-free policies/bans), and 6 community-based (3 social media, 3 mass media campaigns) interventions were reported. E-cigarette initiation prevention was observed with high perceived parental monitoring; however, the cross-sectional study designs precluded causal claims. There was promising but limited evidence that social-emotional skills curricula and peer leader programming prevented vaping initiation.
    Discussion: Some individual- and school-based interventions showed promise for preventing e-cigarette initiation among children and youth.

    Abstract Background and aims: Atherosclerosis is the primary underlying cause of myocardial infarction and stroke, which are the major causes of death globally. Heparanase (Hpse) is a pro-inflammatory extracellular matrix degrading enzyme that has been implicated in atherogenesis. However, to date the precise roles of Hpse in atherosclerosis and its mechanisms of action are not well defined. This study aims to provide new insights into the contribution of Hpse in different stages of atherosclerosis in vivo.
    Methods: We generated Hpse gene-deficient mice on the atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E gene knockout (ApoE
    Results: Hpse-deficient mice exhibited significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesion burden in the aortic sinus and aorta at both time-points, independent of changes in plasma cholesterol levels. A significant reduction in the necrotic core size and an increase in smooth muscle cell content were also observed in advanced atherosclerotic plaques of Hpse-deficient mice. Additionally, Hpse deficiency reduced circulating and aortic levels of VCAM-1 at the initiation and progression stages of disease and circulating MCP-1 levels in the initiation but not progression stage. Moreover, the aortic levels of total leukocytes and dendritic cells in Hpse-deficient ApoE
    Conclusions: This study identifies Hpse as a key pro-inflammatory enzyme driving the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and highlighting the potential of Hpse inhibitors as novel anti-inflammatory treatments for cardiovascular disease.

    Abstract Background: Pharmacists have some prescriptive authority in all fifty states through dependent and independent prescribing. Data describing the volume and characteristics of pharmacist prescribing are not widely available, and these insights are critical to gauge the impact of regulations supporting pharmacist prescriptive authority.
    Objective: To identify trends in pharmacist prescribing and compare them to primary care provider (PCP) prescribing trends by analyzing e-prescriptions initiated from electronic health records systems (EHRs) from 2019 through 2022.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study used e-prescriptions from a national health information network to identify e-prescriptions ordered by pharmacists and PCPs from January 7, 2019, to January 1, 2023. E-prescriptions ordered by pharmacists and PCPs were analyzed to identify annual volume by prescriber type and most prescribed therapeutic classes. States with the highest volume of e-prescriptions ordered by pharmacists were identified.
    Results: The number of e-prescriptions prescribed by a pharmacist increased 47% from 2019 (n=814,726) to 2022 (n=1,199,601). The number of pharmacists prescribing in 2019 was 1650, and this increased by 122% to 3664 in 2022. The number of e-prescriptions prescribed by PCPs increased by 4% from 2019 (n=927,890,123) to 2022 (n=965,803,376) while the number of PCPs prescribing increased by 8% from 2019 (n=364,995) to 2022 (n=394,753).
    Conclusion: Pharmacist e-prescribing increased across the four years studied while PCP e-prescribing modestly increased. Factors like access to technology, such as electronic health records, state regulations, and reimbursement impact a pharmacist's ability to prescribe.
