Abstract	Using CPS data from 2007 to 2012, we examine the contemporaneous effect of the Great Recession on the relative wages of immigrant men. Compared to pre-recession period, immigrants see a modest decline in their relative wages during the recession regardless of model specification. After the recession, immigrants' relative wages largely recover from the recession-induced decline, but the wage disadvantage does not completely revert back to its pre-recession level. Selective in- and out-migration by immigrants or selection of natives into employment do not seem to drive the results. It appears that, during the recession, immigrants may have traded higher employment with lower wages and employers might have been willing to hire them as a cost-saving measure. The results could have implications for how relative wages of immigrants respond to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic Recession.

Abstract	Aim The present study aimed to measure the prevalence of psychological stress among women attending the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) unit in King Abdulaziz Medical City during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design and was conducted between January 2020 and December 2022. A sample of 104 women attending the ART unit were recruited in this study. To collect data, the researchers developed a study questionnaire that consisted of 26 items. Nine items were designed to measure the participants' demographic characteristics, and 17 items were designed to depict their responses related to psychological stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) (v. 26l; IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Armonk, NY). Chi-square and t-tests were used to assess the association between stress and sociodemographics. Results The findings of the study showed an overall prevalence of 86.53% (n=90). Levels of psychological stress were moderate (34.62%, n=36), severe (39.42%, n=41), and extremely severe (12.50%, n=13). The study found that there is a significant statistical interaction between the number of previous ART attempts and psychological stress (p=0.0019). Conclusion The study concluded that women attending the ART unit at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, were experiencing high levels of psychological stress, and these levels were affected by the number of previous ART attempts.

Abstract	The quality of waters is disturbing day by day by various inorganic and organic pollutants. Among various strategies developed so far the technique of phytoremediation using aquatic plants is most preferable. Aquatic ecosystems are facing high level of stress and depletion due to the inputs of polluting materials. Nonetheless, there are certain species of aquatic macrophytes that have ability to cope with these stressful conditions even high concentration of various organic and inorganic pollutants present in water. These species are useful in polluted water treatment through phytoremediation or bioremediation technologies. Among the various aquatic plant species, Azolla, Eichhornia, Lemna, Potamogeton, Spirodela, Wolfia, and Wolfialla have been reported as phytoremediators and also they are highly efficient in reducing aquatic contamination through bioaccumulation of contaminants in their body tissues. Among the various aquatic species, water hyacinth (Eichhornia) is highly resistant and can tolerate the toxicity of heavy metals, phenols, formaldehydes, formic acids, acetic acids and oxalic acids even in their high concentrations. Likewise some other species of the family Lemnaceae are very efficient to reduce the percentage of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), as well as impact of HMs (heavy metals), and various ionic forms of nitrogen and phosphorus. Here in this review we are providing up-to-date information regarding the utilization of these aquatic plants for the bioremediation of contaminated waters. The review is primarily focused on the specific capabilities of aquatic plants and as an important tool in phytotechnologies in the management of contaminants in aquatic environment.

Abstract	Purpose: To evaluate the effect of single-dose intravenous dexamethasone on atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence following radiofrequency catheter ablation. Methods: A cohort of 84 adult patients (> 18 years) underwent catheter ablation at Mayo Clinic Rochester from January to March 2019. Only first-time ablation patients were included, with all re-do ablations excluded to minimize heterogeneity. Administration of intraoperative dexamethasone 4 mg or 8 mg was determined by chart review from the procedure. At our institution, intraoperative intravenous steroids are administered for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prophylaxis at the discretion of the anesthesiologist. AF recurrence was determined by ECG or cardiac monitoring within 3 months or between 3 and 12 months post-ablation with an in-person follow-up visit. Results: A total of 31 (36.9%) patients received intravenous dexamethasone compared to 54 (63.1%) who did not (approximating a 2:1 comparison group). The incidence of documented AF or atrial flutter, lasting greater than 30 s, within the first 3 months post-ablation was 29.0% in the dexamethasone group versus 24.5% in the non-dexamethasone group (p value 0.80). AF or atrial flutter recurrence at 3-12 months post-ablation was 3.2% in the dexamethasone group compared to 9.4% in the non-dexamethasone group (p value 0.41). Conclusion: These data suggest that intraoperative intravenous dexamethasone administered during AF ablation for postoperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis may not have a significant effect on AF recurrence rates.

Abstract	Background: Admitting hospitalized patients to off-service wards ("bedspacing") is common and may affect quality of care and patient outcomes. Objective: To compare in-hospital mortality, 30-day readmission to general internal medicine (GIM), and hospital length-of-stay among GIM patients admitted to GIM wards or bedspaced to off-service wards. Design, participants, and measures: Retrospective cohort study including all emergency department admissions to GIM between 2015 and 2017 at six hospitals in Ontario, Canada. We compared patients admitted to GIM wards with those who were bedspaced, using multivariable regression models and propensity score matching to control for patient and situational factors. Key results: Among 40,440 GIM admissions, 10,745 (26.6%) were bedspaced to non-GIM wards and 29,695 (73.4%) were assigned to GIM wards. After multivariable adjustment, bedspacing was associated with no significant difference in mortality (adjusted hazard ratio 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.86-1.05, p = .304), slightly shorter median hospital length-of-stay (-0.10 days, 95% CI:-0.20 to -0.001, p = .047) and lower 30-day readmission to GIM (adjusted OR 0.89, 95% CI: 0.83-0.95, p = .001). Results were consistent when examining each hospital individually and outcomes did not significantly differ between medical or surgical off-service wards. Sensitivity analyses focused on the highest risk patients did not exclude the possibility of harm associated with bedspacing, although adverse outcomes were not significantly greater. Conclusions: Overall, bedspacing was associated with no significant difference in mortality, slightly shorter hospital length-of-stay, and fewer 30-day readmissions to GIM, although potential harms in high-risk patients remain uncertain. Given that hospital capacity issues are likely to persist, future research should aim to understand how bedspacing can be achieved safely at all hospitals, perhaps by strengthening the selection of low-risk patients.

Abstract	Glioblastoma (GBM) diffusely infiltrates the brain and intermingles with non-neoplastic brain cells, including astrocytes, neurons and microglia/myeloid cells. This complex mixture of cell types forms the biological context for therapeutic response and tumor recurrence. We used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to determine the cellular composition and transcriptional states in primary and recurrent glioma and identified three compositional 'tissue-states' defined by cohabitation patterns between specific subpopulations of neoplastic and non-neoplastic brain cells. These tissue-states correlated with radiographic, histopathologic, and prognostic features and were enriched in distinct metabolic pathways. Fatty acid biosynthesis was enriched in the tissue-state defined by the cohabitation of astrocyte-like/mesenchymal glioma cells, reactive astrocytes, and macrophages, and was associated with recurrent GBM and shorter survival. Treating acute slices of GBM with a fatty acid synthesis inhibitor depleted the transcriptional signature of this pernicious tissue-state. These findings point to therapies that target interdependencies in the GBM microenvironment.

Abstract	Background: A prior hospitalization resulting from heart failure is associated with poor outcomes in ambulatory patients with heart failure. Less is known about this association in hospitalized patients with heart failure and whether it varies by ejection fraction. Methods: Of the 25,345 hospitalized patients in the Medicare-linked OPTIMIZE-HF registry, 22,491 had known heart failure, of whom 7648 and 9558 had heart failure with preserved (≥50%) and reduced (≤40%) ejection fraction (HFpEF and HFrEF), respectively. Overall, 927 and 1862 patients with HFpEF and HFrEF had hospitalizations for heart failure during the 6 months before the index hospitalization, respectively. Using propensity scores for prior heart failure hospitalization, we assembled two matched cohorts of 924 pairs and 1844 pairs of patients with HFpEF and HFrEF, respectively, each balanced for 58 baseline characteristics. Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for outcomes during 6 years of follow-up. Results: Among 1848 matched patients with HFpEF, HRs (95% CIs) for all-cause mortality, all-cause readmission, and heart failure readmission were 1.35 (1.21-1.50; P <0.001), 1.34 (1.21-1.47; P <0.001), and 1.90 (1.67-2.16; P <0.001), respectively. Respective HRs (95% CIs) in 3688 matched patients with HFrEF were 1.17 (1.09-1.26; P <0.001), 1.32 (1.23-1.41; P <0.001), and 1.48 (1.37-1.61; P <0.001). Conclusions: Among hospitalized patients with heart failure, a previous hospitalization for heart failure is associated with higher risks of mortality and readmission in both HFpEF and HFrEF. The relative risks of death and heart failure readmission appear to be higher in HFpEF than in HFrEF.

Abstract	Background: The role of fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in indolent lymphoma has been minimally studied. Objective: This study aims to assess the value of FDG-PET/CT in predicting the prognosis of indolent lymphoma. Methods: We prospectively recruited 42 patients with indolent lymphoma. A total of 2 patients were excluded, and 40 underwent baseline PET/CT and follow-up at various time points. A total of 9 patients were observed only, 7 received 4 doses of rituximab alone, and 24 received chemoimmunotherapy. Metabolic response on follow-up PET/CT was assessed using the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and Deauville criteria (DC). We aimed to obtain the best SUVmax and DC to predict optimal survival rates, risk stratification, and optimize therapeutic strategies. The mean follow-up from the initial diagnosis was 33.83 months. Results: SUVmax <4.35 at interim PET/CT provided the best discrimination, with a progression-free survival (PFS) of 100% and a median survival time of 106.67 months compared with SUVmax ≥4.35 (P=.04), which had a PFS of 43.8% and a median survival time of 50.17 months. This cutoff was also valuable in predicting overall survival at baseline, that is, 100% overall survival with baseline SUVmax <4.35, versus 58.4% for SUVmax ≥4.35 (P=.13). The overall survival of patients with a baseline DC score <3.0 was 100%, with a median overall survival of 106.67 months. Conclusions: We demonstrated the utility of PET/CT in indolent lymphomas. SUVmax (<4.35 vs ≥4.35) on interim PET/CT performed best in predicting PFS.
