Article Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate how leaf volatiles from Salix alba affect the orientation of Nematus hequensis Xiao adults towards host plants and contribute to the development of plant-based attractants for N. hequensis. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to extract, identify, and screen leaf volatiles from S. alba aged 10-15 years during the peak eclosion of N. hequensis. Electroantennogram (EAG) and Y-shaped olfactometry assays were utilized to identify volatiles with relative content > 1% and determine the optimal concentration for attracting, 1-day-old unmated males and females. The results showed that among the 15 volatiles with a relative content of more than 1%, (E)-2-hexenal, benzaldehyde, and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde elicited the strongest EAG response in adult males and females at a concentration of 100 μg·μL, with (E)-2-hexenal exhibiting a greater effect than 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, which in turn was more effective than benzaldehyde. At this concentration, the attractive effects of (E)-2-Hexenal, and benzaldehyde on adult males and females were significant. These findings provide an important basis for developing attractants and repellents used in control of this insect pest.

Misophonia is a condition characterized by intense negative emotional reactions to trigger sounds and related stimuli. In this study, adult listeners (N = 15) with a self-reported history of misophonia symptoms and a control group without misophonia (N = 15) completed listening judgements of recorded misophonia trigger stimuli using a standard scale. Participants also completed an established questionnaire of misophonia symptoms, the Misophonia Questionnaire (MQ).

Importance: Previous data suggest that the time changes associated with daylight savings time (DST) may be associated with an increased incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Objective: To determine whether the incidence of patients presenting with AMI is greater during the weeks during or after DST and compare the in-hospital clinical events between the week before DST and after DST.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study examined patients enrolled in the Chest Pain MI Registry from 2013 to 2022.

Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.

Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.

Importance: Patients with advanced cancer frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, but changing use patterns across the end-of-life trajectory remain poorly understood.

Objective: To describe the patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use across defined end-of-life intervals in patients with advanced cancer.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study used data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database to examine broad-spectrum antibiotic use among patients with advanced cancer who died between July 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021.

Importance: Advances in diagnostics have enabled the detection of more gastrointestinal pathogens, but misuse of diagnostics can lead to inappropriate antibiotic use and excess financial burdens. Ensuring appropriate use of diagnostics is crucial for optimizing patient care and promoting stewardship of health care resources.

Objective: To elicit parents' and clinicians' perspectives on expectations for care of pediatric diarrhea with a focus on diagnostic testing and to evaluate the potential for an electronic clinical decision support tool (ECDST) to improve appropriate use of diagnostics.
