    Abstract Background: Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a potentially life-threatening adverse condition associated with use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). This risk is further pronounced in the perioperative period. There is no consensus for when SGLT2i should be held preoperatively, and recommendations from various organizations have evolved from 1 day to 3 to 4 days in the latest American Diabetes Association guidelines. Further study of patients with perioperative euglycemic DKA is required to help clarify the optimal timing of preoperative discontinuation of SGLT2i agents.
    Methods: In this retrospective, single-centre case series we examined 4 patients who developed postoperative euglycemic DKA after coronary artery bypass grafting, 3 of whom underwent semiurgent surgery. We characterized their clinical course, predisposing factors and treatment characteristics.
    Results: The SGLT2i were held for 1 to 5 days preoperatively, with times since last dose before surgery being 54, 79, 80 and 151 hours. Surgery was semiurgent for 3 patients, and elective for 1 patient. Three patients were diagnosed with euglycemic DKA within 24 hours after surgery. The fourth patient developed euglycemic DKA on postoperative day 3 in the context of significant hypovolemia and exhibited potential signs of protracted SGLT2i action at 7 days since the last dose.
    Conclusions: The duration of SGLT2i action and risk for DKA is variable and complex. Providers should hold SGLT2i at least 3 days before elective major surgery, with potentially longer times in high-risk patients. Careful vigilance should be used for perioperative DKA development in all patients recently exposed to SGLT2i.

    Abstract It is often assumed that pet ownership improves peoples' wellbeing, but evidence of this pet effect has been mixed. We extended past research on pet personality, the pet effect, and value congruence to examine whether people perceive their pets to have humanlike values and if owner-pet values similarity has a positive effect on owners' life satisfaction. In a large and diverse sample of Australian dog and cat owners, we find that people imbue their dogs and cats with humanlike values in a way that reflects the theoretical circular structure of values. Importantly, perceptions of the values of dogs and cats differed in that dogs were perceived to prioritize more social-focus values, whereas cats were perceived to prioritize more personal-focus values. Additionally, we find that similarity in the values profile of dog owners and their dogs is positively associated with life satisfaction, but this was not the case for cats. However, when we examined associations between individual values similarity and life satisfaction, our results suggest a more complex and nuanced picture of both direct and indirect similarity effects.

    Abstract Environmental values emphasize protection of the natural environment and promote behaviors that express this broad motivational goal. Thus, changes in these values at the community and individual levels are likely to have significant consequences for sustainability efforts. We examined the relative importance of environmental values in Australian adults at five time points over 4 years, including a period of stability (2017-2019) and a period of crisis (early and late in the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic). We found that the relative importance of environmental values increased from 2017 to 2019 and decreased during the pandemic. Importantly, the decrease in 2020 was lessened by individuals' connection with nature.

    Abstract Parietal cortex is implicated in a variety of behavioral processes, but it is unknown whether and how its individual neurons participate in multiple tasks. We trained head-fixed mice to perform two visual decision tasks involving a steering wheel or a virtual T-maze and recorded from the same parietal neurons during these two tasks. Neurons that were active during the T-maze task were typically inactive during the steering-wheel task and vice versa. Recording from the same neurons in the same apparatus without task stimuli yielded the same specificity as in the task, suggesting that task specificity depends on physical context. To confirm this, we trained some mice in a third task combining the steering wheel context with the visual environment of the T-maze. This hybrid task engaged the same neurons as those engaged in the steering-wheel task. Thus, participation by neurons in mouse parietal cortex is task specific, and this specificity is determined by physical context.

    Abstract Growing public concern for the welfare of animals is reflected in an increase in the number of animal charities around the world. However, little is known about the individuals who donate to these organizations. In this study, we examine relations between individual differences in personal values and sociodemographic characteristics and the decision to donate to animal charities. We do this in samples from nine different countries: the USA, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Malaysia, Singapore, and China. We show that the personal value expressing concern for the welfare of animals is empirically distinct from other refined values and that this value is positively associated with giving to animal charities in each country. These results extend recent attempts to identify and validate the animals value as a distinct value beyond western samples. Using logistic regression analysis, we also show, in all nine country samples, that the animals value is the most consistent predictor of donating to animal charities when compared with sociodemographic characteristics examined in previous studies. The results of this study can be used by organizations in the animal protection sector to inform their donor segmentation and targeting strategies both within and across borders.

    Abstract A review of the first 4000 reports to the webAIRS anaesthesia incident reporting database was performed to analyse cases reported as difficult or failed intubation. Patient, task, caregiver and system factors were evaluated. Among the 4000 reports, there were 170 incidents of difficult or failed intubation. Difficult or failed intubation incidents were most common in the 40-59 years age group. More than half of cases were not predicted. A total of 40% involved patients with a body mass index >30 kg/m
