Challenges and opportunities in the adoption of entomological pollination of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) by bumblebees in vertical farms: a comprehensive review

The present study aims to analyze, based on bibliographic sources, the possibility of using bumblebees (genus Bombus) in the pollination of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in vertical farms, as well as their advantages and costs. The work includes the definition of vertical farms and their structures, the description of tomato pollination methods in nature, comparisons between different pollination methods in the vertical farming system, cost analyses, and characteristics of these bees that allow their adaptation in enclosed environments with the use of artificial lighting. Considering the high costs in these systems, the hypothesis of using entomological pollination as an alternative to reduce costs is justified. The review was conducted systematically, searching academic databases for relevant articles, theses, and reports on entomological pollination in vertical farms. In conclusion, it can be observed that these bees, besides being excellent pollinators, can possibly adapt to the characteristic conditions of a vertical farm. However, the behavior of these insects within this system has been poorly studied, with many opportunities and topics in this area that can serve as a starting point for future experiments.

Demographics and Clinical Decision Making in Patients with Germline Moderate Penetrance Non-BRCA Mutations in Breast Cancer Related Genes.

Management of pathogenic variants in high penetrance genes related to breast cancer (BC), such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, are well established. However, moderate penetrance mutations are understudied. We aim to compare risk reduction decision-making patterns in patients with a moderate penetrance BC-related genetic mutations, without a prior BC diagnosis. Female patients aged ≥ 18 years who tested positive for a BRCA1/2, high penetrance, or moderate penetrance mutation related to BC between 1996 and 2023 without a concurrent or prior BC diagnosis were retrospectively identified from a single academic center's database. Groups were stratified by mutation type: BRCA1/2 mutations (BRCA1, BRCA2), high penetrance mutations (HPM; CDH1, PALB2, PTEN, STK11, TP53), or moderate penetrance mutations (MPM; ATM, BARD1, CHEK2, NF1, RAD51C, RAD51D). Demographics and clinical outcomes were compared. A total of 528 patients met the inclusion criteria, with 66% (n = 350) having a BRCA1/2 mutation, 8% (n = 44) having HPM, and 25% (n = 134) having MPM; the median follow-up was 56.0 months. In our cohort, 20.9% of patients with BRCA mutations, 9.1% with HPM, and 7.5% with MPM chose to undergo risk-reducing mastectomies (RRM). Within the moderate penetrance cohort, patients who chose to undergo RRM were younger at the time of genetic testing (39.4 vs. 47.5 years, p = 0.03) and had a higher number of family members with BC (2 vs. 1, p = 0.05). Our findings provide insights into the demographic characteristics and family history of patients with moderate penetrance mutations and those who pursue risk-reducing surgery.

Association of Mechanical Axis With Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Femoral Condyle.

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a condition characterized by abnormal subchondral bone with disturbance of overlying articular cartilage. The role of weightbearing alignment in the pathophysiology of OCD lesion development is not fully understood. Lower extremity mechanical axis would be concordant with femoral condylar OCD lesion location. Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Cases were identified from a single, large academic institutional database using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision and Tenth Revision and Current Procedural Terminology codes associated with OCD. Patients were included if they had a magnetic resonance imaging scan demonstrating the OCD lesion and lower extremity alignment radiographs. OCD lesion location was identified using Cahill and Berg zones. The primary outcome was the association of OCD lesion location with weightbearing mechanical axis. Secondary outcomes included the association of mechanical axis with skeletal maturity, OCD lesion stability, and treatment. For unilateral OCD lesions, mechanical axis was compared between affected and unaffected lower extremities. A total of 86 patients (95 knees) with an OCD lesion of the femoral condyle were identified. The population was 74% male, and the mean age was 21 years. In total, 65% of knees had closed physes, 82% of lesions were unstable, and 85% underwent a surgical procedure. Mechanical axis was located in the same zone as the OCD lesion in 48% of cases and within the same compartment in 56% of cases. Spearman correlation coefficient demonstrated a moderate positive correlation (rs = 0.59). No significant differences were found in the association of mechanical axis and OCD lesion location in subgroup analysis of medial versus lateral femoral condylar OCD lesions, skeletal maturity, stability of the lesion, or treatment group. For patients with varus alignment and medial femoral condylar OCD lesions, the mean lateral distal femoral angle was 89.9°, and medial proximal tibial angle was 85.4°; for valgus alignment and lateral femoral condylar lesions, the lateral distal femoral angle was 84.8°, and medial proximal tibial angle was 88.8°. Patients with unilateral medial femoral condylar OCD lesions were more likely to have varus alignment of the affected extremity compared with the contralateral extremity (59% vs 36%; P = .01). This study demonstrated a relationship between lower extremity mechanical weightbearing axis and femoral condylar OCD location. Patients with unilateral medial femoral condylar OCD lesions frequently had asymmetric varus alignment in the affected extremity.

Dealing with Diversity in Digital Psychological Interventions for Young People: A Structured Review

AbstractIn recent years, despite significant progress in digital psychological interventions (DPIs), the prevalence of psychological issues among young adults remains a concern. While research on the feasibility and effectiveness of DPIs is extensive, there's a growing recognition of the need for a sociotechnical approach to enhance user engagement. This review aims to highlight the importance of integrating diversity, especially sociodemographic characteristics, into DPI design and implementation.The review meticulously examined literature from six academic databases focused on DPIs tailored for users aged 12 to 26, spanning the period between 2009 and 2019. The data extraction process specifically targeted biosocial factors such as gender and ethnicity, as well as sociocultural elements like remoteness and labor force status among users. Among the initial pool of 879 articles, a refined selection of 25 underwent detailed analysis. Intriguingly, 14 of these studies did not treat sociodemographic factors as independent variables, leaving only 11 that did. Notably, gender and ethnicity emerged as the most frequently studied factors, with remoteness and labor force considerations receiving comparatively less attention.Despite the acknowledged importance of user engagement in DPI effectiveness, the review highlights a critical gap: insufficient consideration of young adults' sociodemographic characteristics in intervention design and implementation. Therefore, the findings strongly support further mixed-method studies to fully understand the complex social factors influencing user engagement with DPIs. Closing this gap will undoubtedly refine and optimize DPIs to better meet the diverse needs of young adults dealing with psychological challenges.

The indexation of retracted literature in seven principal scholarly databases: a coverage comparison of dimensions, OpenAlex, PubMed, Scilit, Scopus, The Lens and Web of Science

In this study, the coverage and overlap of retracted publications, retraction notices and withdrawals are compared across seven significant scholarly databases, with the aim to check for discrepancies, pinpoint the causes of those discrepancies, and choose the best product to produce the most accurate picture of retracted literature. Seven scholarly databases were searched to obtain all the retracted publications, retraction notices and withdrawal from 2000. Only web search interfaces were used, excepting in OpenAlex and Scilit. The findings demonstrate that non-selective databases (Dimensions, OpenAlex, Scilit, and The Lens) index a greater amount of retracted literature than do databases that rely their indexation on venue selection (PubMed, Scopus, and WoS). The key factors explaining these discrepancies are the indexation of withdrawals and proceeding articles. Additionally, the high coverage of OpenAlex and Scilit could be explained by the inaccurate labeling of retracted documents in Scopus, Dimensions, and The Lens. 99% of the sample is jointly covered by OpenAlex, Scilit and WoS. The study suggests that research on retracted literature would require querying more than one source and that it should be advisable to accurately identify and label this literature in academic databases.
