    Abstract Acute monoarthritis affects a single joint and has many potential underlying causes, including crystal deposition diseases, infection, trauma, and osteoarthritis. A comprehensive health history and physical examination can help narrow the list of differential diagnoses; judicious diagnostic testing can help pinpoint the diagnosis. Clinicians also must be able to recognize which patients require emergency referral to prevent long-term adverse consequences.

    Abstract Background: Rectus abdominis (RA) diastasis is a risk factor for abdominal muscle dysfunction and reduced quality of life postpartum. It is thought that supplementary abdominal supports might reduce the diastasis. However, there is limited research assessing the efficacy of abdominal supports/binding.
    Objective: To determine the effects of Tubigrip and a rigid abdominal belt in reducing RA diastasis in the first eight weeks postpartum.
    Design: Randomised clinical trial.
    Methods: 62 women undertook ultrasound imaging to measure their RA diastasis prior to and after an eight week intervention wearing either Tubigrip or a rigid abdominal belt. Data analyses involved repeated measures ANOVA and correlational methods.
    Results: The RA diastasis reduced by 46% from a mean 4.6 cm-2.5 cm over the eight week intervention period with no significant difference (p > 0.05) across groups. Women wore the Tubigrip for a significantly (p < 0.05) longer number of hours (Median: 278) compared to those in the belt group (Median: 81 h). The length of time that women wore Tubigrip or the belt was not associated with the percentage reduction in the RA diastasis (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the diastasis across vaginal and Caesarean section deliveries at baseline. There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the percent reduction of the RA diastasis across deliveries post-intervention (vaginal delivery mean: 48% vs C-section: 40%).
    Conclusion: There was no difference across groups post-intervention in the RA diastasis, and it is questionable whether either support improves upon that associated with natural healing alone.

    Abstract Pollinating insects are declining due to habitat loss and climate change, and cities with limited habitat and floral resources may be particularly vulnerable. The effects of urban landscapes on pollination networks remain poorly understood, and comparative studies of taxa with divergent niches are lacking. Here, for the first time, we simultaneously compare nocturnal moth and diurnal bee pollen‐transport networks using DNA metabarcoding and ask how pollination networks are affected by increasing urbanisation. Bees and moths exhibited substantial divergence in the communities of plants they interact with. Increasing urbanisation had comparable negative effects on pollen‐transport networks of both taxa, with significant declines in pollen species richness. We show that moths are an important, but overlooked, component of urban pollen‐transport networks for wild flowering plants, horticultural crops, and trees. Our findings highlight the need to include both bee and non‐bee taxa when assessing the status of critical plant‐insect interactions in urbanised landscapes.

    Abstract Background: Translational research demonstrates that drug use is inversely associated with availability and engagement with meaningful non-drug reinforcers. Evaluation of non-drug reinforcement in treatment-receiving clinical populations is limited, likely owing to the time intensive nature of existing measures. This study explores the association of non-drug reinforcers with treatment outcomes using a novel, brief measure of past month non-drug reinforcement quantifying three elements: relative frequency, access, and enjoyability.
    Methods: Respondents enrolled in substance use treatment (residential, intensive outpatient, and medically managed withdrawal) in clinics across the United States (N = 5481) completed standardized assessments of non-drug reinforcement and treatment outcomes (i.e., return to use and life satisfaction) one-month after treatment discharge. Non-drug reinforcement measures (availability, engagement, enjoyability) were used as predictors of return to use and life satisfaction using generalized linear models.
    Results: Non-drug reinforcement indices were associated with return to use and life satisfaction in unadjusted models (e.g., 12.4 % versus 58.3 % return to use for those with the highest and lowest availability, respectively). Consistent results were observed in models adjusted for sociodemographic variables and risk factors (i.e., sleep disturbance, anhedonia, stress). Comparisons by drug class generally showed lower non-drug reinforcement among patients reporting heroin or methamphetamine as their primary drug.
    Conclusions: Results highlight the importance of non-drug reinforcement during the first month following treatment. Rapid measurement of non-drug reinforcement in stepped care settings may illuminate critical deficits in early stages of behavior change, identify those at greatest risk for return to use, and provide targets for treatment to improve recovery trajectories.

    Abstract Background: Optimism, characterized by a positive expectancy toward future outcomes, has garnered attention for its potential role in influencing well-being and may be a protective factor in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. This study evaluated the relationship of optimism and craving among those in substance use disorder SUD treatment.
    Methods: Drawing from a cohort of 4201 individuals in residential SUD treatment programs, this study used both cross-sectional and longitudinal assessment to examine tonic (steady-state) and cue-induced (phasic) cravings across individuals primarily using eight classes of substances. Previous research established that optimism increases during adulthood and peaks during an individual's 50s. This study sought to establish if the association between optimism and craving is moderated by age during the first week of treatment and if that relationship changes over the course of treatment both within and between-person.
    Results: This study found a negative correlation between optimism and craving intensity. Elevated optimism scores correlated with substantially reduced levels of both tonic (β = -0.31, p < 0.001) and cue-induced (β = -0.29, p < 0.001) cravings. Age was a significant moderator of the relationship between optimism and craving such that as individuals age, the potency of optimism in mitigating cravings gradually attenuates (interaction for tonic craving: β = 0.06, p < 0.001; interaction for cue-induced craving: β = 0.05, p < 0.001). Reflected in the fact that in older individuals' cravings tended to converge toward lower or moderate levels, regardless of their optimism scores.
    Conclusions: By delineating the contemporaneous association between high optimism and lower cravings, the study suggests that interventions aimed at fostering optimism may represent an avenue to improve the effectiveness of SUD treatment, especially in emerging adults.

    Abstract Background: Rectus abdominis diastasis is regarded as a risk factor for abdominal muscle dysfunction and reduced quality of life postpartum. It is thought that specific exercises and additional physical support might reduce the diastasis, with a need to establish efficacy in doing so.
    Objectives: Determine the effect of four abdominal exercises as well as Tubigrip or taping in reducing rectus abdominis diastases three weeks postpartum.
    Design: Cross-sectional repeated measures comparison.
    Methods: 32 women undertook a single session of ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound measurements of inter-rectus distance were taken at rest and during: 1) crook lying abdominal "drawing in" exercise; 2) crook lying trunk curl-up; 3) early Sahrmann level leg raise; 4) McGill side lying plank. The curl-up and abdominal "drawing in" exercises were assessed under two further conditions: a) wearing Tubigrip, b) taping across the diastasis. Data analyses involved repeated measures ANOVA.
    Results: At rest the mean inter-rectus distance above and below the umbilicus was 3.5 cm (SD:1.1) and 2.6 cm (SD:1.2) respectively. A significant decrease (19%, p < 0.05) was observed at both measurement points during the curl-up exercise. No other exercises elicited a significant difference compared to resting. At rest, wearing Tubigrip reduced the inter-rectus distance (7%, p < 0.05). During exercise, there was no additional change in the inter-rectus distance (p > 0.05) with supports.
    Conclusion: The curl-up exercise was most effective in reducing inter-rectus distance. As no exercises invoked an increase in the rectus diastasis, they could not be regarded as potentially detrimental. Tubigrip and taping did not add to the effects of these exercises.
