Abstract	Aim: To compare the image quality of virtual noncontrast (VNC) and true noncontrast (TNC) CT images and to evaluate the clinical feasibility of VNC CT images for assessing osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs). Materials and methods: Forty-five OLT patients who underwent ankle CT arthrography (CTA) using dual-layer spectral detector CT were enrolled. Reconstruction of VNC and three-dimensional volume rendering images was performed. Afterward, image noise, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were measured. For the subjective evaluation, two board-certified musculoskeletal radiologists [R2-1] assessed spatial resolution, overall image quality, and lesion conspicuity. The accuracy rate for OLT grading was determined in 23 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery. Results: While VNC images showed significantly less noise than TNC images, TNC images showed better SNRs and CNRs (p<.01). In the subjective analysis, TNC images showed better overall image quality (p<.001). For the 3D volume rendering images, VNC images scored significantly higher for lesion conspicuity (p<.001). The accuracy rates of CTA and CTA with VNC images for OLT grading were 79.2% and 83.3%, respectively. Regarding confidence level, when CTA and VNC images were evaluated together, the confidence level was significantly higher than that when only CTA images were evaluated (p<.001). Conclusion: VNC imaging can provide better confidence level of OLT grading and evaluation of the integrity of the subchondral bone plate when combined with conventional CTA without additional radiation dose to the patient. In addition, VNC images-based 3D volume rendering reconstruction would be helpful for preoperative planning in OLT patients.

Abstract	Background: Limited and conflicting data exist regarding the impact of first-trimester nursing occupational exposures on hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Aims: To investigate whether first-trimester night shift work, work hours and work-related activities are associated with HDP. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 6610 women within the Nurses' Health Study II. We used multiple logistic regression to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the relation of occupational exposures to HDP. Results: Nine per cent of respondents reported an HDP in the index pregnancy (gestational hypertension: n = 354, 5%, preeclampsia: n = 222, 3%). First-trimester fixed or rotating night shift work was not significantly associated with gestational hypertension or preeclampsia compared to day shift work only. Compared to those working 21-40 h/week, working overtime (≥41 h/week) was not associated with gestational hypertension but was associated with 43% higher odds of preeclampsia (95% CI 1.02, 2.00). For part-time work (≤20 h/week), the OR was 0.76 (95% CI 0.56, 1.02) for gestational hypertension and 0.64 (95% CI 0.43, 0.97) for preeclampsia. The odds of preeclampsia were 3% higher per additional hour worked per week (95% CI 1.01-1.04). Compared to 0-4 h spent standing or walking per day, standing or walking ≥9 h daily was associated with 32% lower odds of gestational hypertension (95% CI 0.47, 0.99) but was not significantly associated with preeclampsia. Frequency of heavy lifting was not associated with either hypertensive disorder or pregnancy. Conclusions: Among nurses, working overtime was associated with higher odds of preeclampsia.

Abstract	Objectives: While religion and spirituality (R/S) are generally considered protective factors in mental well-being in adults, there is limited research in youth Further understanding this relationship may allow providers to integrate R/S into treatment to enhance effectiveness This study explores the impact of R/S on mental health in youth with mild-to-severe mental health symptoms during the global pandemic of COVID-19 We hypothesize that R/S has a positive impact on mental health and can be a protective factor in how youth cope with mental health symptoms, especially during a global crisis Methods: We developed a Religion and Spirituality Questionnaire (RASQ), an online questionnaire that included demographic questions, 27 questions on attitudes and practices regarding R/S and mental health, 6 items related to R/S and mental health during COVID-19, and 3 optional free response questions related to R/S and COVID-19 Participants were current patients of a community mental health clinic in the San Francisco Bay Area who were between 13 and 26 years old Results: Data from 74 questionnaires were analyzed (46 females, 3 transgender, 6 genderqueer, and 15 males) The average age was 18 1 years old We found an inverse correlation between those who are not religious and worsening mental health during COVID-19 (R = –0 2547;p < 0 05) We also found that those who turn to their faith in crisis and those whose religious beliefs help guide them in difficult situations have had their faith strengthened during COVID-19 (R = 0 803, p < 0 00001;and R = 0 7849, p < 0 00001) Other comparisons including assessing for differences in age, ethnicity (White/non-White), and sex (male/female) did not reveal significant associations Conclusions: These preliminary data highlight some significant associations between R/S and mental health during a pandemic, as part of a larger continuing study Further research is needed As we move forward with this project, we hope the outcomes can inform and improve clinical care CC, COPI, WL

Abstract	The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spreading globally Although its etiologic agent is discovered as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), there are many unsolved issues in COVID-19 and other infectious diseases The causes of different clinical phenotypes and incubation periods among individuals, species specificity, and cytokine storm with lymphopenia as well as the mechanism of damage to organ cells are unknown It has been suggested that in viral pneumonia, virus itself is not a direct cause of acute lung injury;rather, aberrant immune reactions of the host to the insults from viral infection are responsible According to its epidemiological and clinical characteristics, SARS-CoV-2 may be a virus with low virulence in nature that has adapted to the human species Current immunological concepts have limited ability to explain such unsolved issues, and a presumed immunopathogenesis of COVID-19 is presented under the proteinhomeostasis-system hypothesis Every disease, including COVID-19, has etiological substances controlled by the host immune system according to size and biochemical properties Patients with severe pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 show more severe hypercytokinemia with corresponding lymphocytopenia than patients with mild pneumonia;thus, early immunomodulator treatment, including corticosteroids, has been considered However, current guidelines recommend their use only for patients with advanced pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome Since the immunopathogenesis of pneumonia may be the same for all patients regardless of age or severity and the critical immune-mediated lung injury may begin in the early stage of the disease, early immunomodulator treatment, including corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin, can help reduce morbidity and possibly mortality rates of older patients with underlying conditions

Abstract	Leptin and adiponectin are thought to modulate insulin sensitivity and pancreatic β-cell function, but there is limited information regarding the adipokine status of hyperglycemic dogs with hyperadrenocorticism. This study aimed to determine whether alterations in the leptin/adiponectin ratio, insulin sensitivity, and/or pancreatic β-cell function are associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH). A total of 48 client-owned dogs were included in this prospective observational study: 20 dogs with PDH (10 normoglycemic and 10 with DM), 15 dogs with DM, and 13 healthy dogs. The serum concentrations of leptin, adiponectin, resistin, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were measured, and homeostatic model assessment indices (HOMAs) were calculated and compared among the groups. Serum leptin was significantly higher in PDH dogs with and without DM than in healthy and DM dogs, and it was lower in DM dogs than in PDH dogs without DM. Serum adiponectin was significantly lower in PDH dogs with DM than in healthy and PDH dogs, and it was significantly lower in DM dogs than in healthy dogs. Serum IL-10 was significantly higher in PDH dogs with DM than in healthy and PDH dogs without DM. The leptin/adiponectin ratio was significantly higher in PDH dogs with DM than in normoglycemic PDH dogs. Serum IL-6 concentrations were significantly higher in DM dogs than in healthy dogs. Serum IL-1β concentration was significantly higher in DM dogs than in healthy dogs and PDH dogs with DM and without DM. Serum TNF-α and IL-18 concentrations were not different among groups. The HOMAᵦ₋cₑₗₗ fᵤₙcₜᵢₒₙ was significantly lower in PDH dogs with DM than in normoglycemic PDH dogs, while HOMAᵢₙₛᵤₗᵢₙ ₛₑₙₛᵢₜᵢᵥᵢₜy was significantly lower in PDH dogs with DM than in healthy dogs. These results suggest that adipokine dysregulation, a reduction in insulin sensitivity, and a further impairment in pancreatic β-cell function might predispose PDH dogs to DM. Further longitudinal study will be necessary to confirm this result.

Abstract	This study investigated the in vitro fermentation of three cereal straws (corn stover, wheat straw, and rice straw) with culture media containing two nonionic surfactants (alkyl polyglycoside and Tween 80) and variable surface tension (42, 48, and 54 mN/m) in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement. The in vitro dry matter degradation of rice straw and corn straw linearly (P < 0.05) decreased with increasing culture media surface tension. Ammoniacal nitrogen and microbial crude protein production were not influenced by nonionic surfactant sources or surface tension; however, the ammoniacal nitrogen concentration of wheat straw linearly (P = 0.01) increased with increasing culture media surface tension. Decreasing the surface tension linearly (P < 0.05) increased the microbial membrane permeability and the ratio of acetate to propionate in rice straw and corn stover. The molar proportion of propionate in rice straw (P = 0.03) and corn stover (P = 0.02) linearly decreased as surface tension decreased. This study highlights the potential of nonionic surfactants as feed additives, and their ability to modulate the surface tension of rumen fluid should be more carefully considered.
