    Abstract Increase in soil salinization due to climate change is a global phenomenon that can induce significant changes in plant growth, physiology, and chemistry, exacerbating growing threats to insect biodiversity. Insects that rely on plants are likely to be indirectly impacted by changes in soil salt content through changes in plant chemistry, yet few studies link changes in plant metabolism to impacts on higher trophic levels. Some salinity-mediated changes in specialized metabolites may be predictable due to highly conserved metabolic pathways shared between herbivore defense and stress resistance, but recent studies also suggest substantial variation across plant species and habitats. To date, most of the research on salinity and chemically mediated plant-insect interactions has focused on herbivores, particularly in agricultural systems. Published effects of salinity on pollinators and parasitoids are scarce. Future research will need to focus more on the role of plant chemistry to bridge the divide between studies of plant and insect responses to salinization.

    Abstract Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at risk of malnutrition; however, there is limited information regarding the impact of nutritional status on organ dysfunction and outcomes after surgery for CHD. The study aim was to assess the association between malnutrition, organ dysfunction, and outcomes after surgery for CHD. Retrospective cohort study of patients aged 30 days to 18 years admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) following cardiac surgery. Nutritional status (malnutrition defined as weight for age z-score < - 2) and validated organ dysfunction scores (pSOFA and PELOD-2) on CICU days 1 and 3 were collected. The cohort included 967 patients with a median age of 2.8 years (IQR 0.46, 7.12) and hospital survival of 98.86%. The prevalence of malnutrition was 18.5% (n = 179). By multivariable logistic regression analysis including age, malnutrition, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and duration of mechanical ventilation; High STAT category (OR 7.51 [1.03-54], p = 0.0462) and PSOFA score > 5 day 1 (OR 1.84 [1.25-2.72], p = 0.0021) were associated with mortality; in a similar model including the same variables; High STAT category (OR 9.12 [1.33-62], p = 0.0243) and PELOD-2 score > 5 day 1 (OR 1.75 [1.10-2.77], p = 0.0175) were associated with mortality. Malnutrition was associated with persistent or worsening organ dysfunction by pSOFA (p < 0.05) and PELOD-2 (p < 0.01) on day 3. Malnutrition was present in infants and children undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease. Organ dysfunction and high surgical risk were associated with mortality. Malnutrition was not associated with mortality but was associated with postoperative organ dysfunction.

    Abstract Communication styles are the three communication patterns that result from merging the verbal elements of communication, the non-verbal elements and the paraverbal elements. The objective of this study was to test what effect different communication styles have on attention performance in primary school children. We administered the assertive behavior scale for children (CABS), the symbol digit modalities test (SDMT) and the d2 attention test to a sample of 77 participants of primary school. A statistically significant and proportional correlation was found between the assertive communication style and the total number of correct answers of the SDMT. We also found positive correlations between the assertive communication style and d2 attention test performance. Children with an assertive communication style have better attention performance than children with passive or aggressive communication styles.
