Hagerman S, Woolard Z, Anderson K, Tatler BW, Moore FR. Women's self-rated attraction to male faces does not correspond with physiological arousal. Sci Rep 2017; 7:13564.

Abstract
There has been little work to determine whether attractiveness ratings of faces correspond to sexual or more general attraction. We tested whether a measure of women’s physiological arousal (pupil diameter change) was correlated with ratings of men’s facial attractiveness. In Study 1, women rated the faces of men for whom we also measured salivary testosterone. They rated each face for attractiveness, and for desirability for friendship and long- and short-term romantic relationships. Pupil diameter change was not related to subjective ratings of attractiveness, but was positively correlated with the men’s testosterone. In Study 2 we compared women’s pupil diameter change in response to the faces of men with high versus low testosterone, as well as in response to non-facial images pre-rated as either sexually arousing or threatening. Pupil dilation was not affected by testosterone, and increased relatively more in response to sexually arousing than threatening images. We conclude that self-rated preferences may not provide a straightforward and direct assessment of sexual attraction. We argue that future work should identify the constructs that are tapped via attractiveness ratings of faces, and support the development of methodology which assesses objective sexual attraction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Little is known regarding acute local and systemic processes following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. No study has elucidated whether bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are mobilized into circulation and recruited to the injured joint. METHODS In Part 1, Lewis rats were randomized to noninvasive ACL rupture (Rupture) or non-injured (Control) (n = 6/group). After 72 h, whole blood MSC concentration was assessed using flow cytometry. Synovial fluid and serum were assayed for stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1α and cartilage degeneration biomarkers, respectively. In Part 2, 12 additional rats were randomized and intravenously-injected with fluorescently-labeled allogenic MSCs. Cell tracking was performed using longitudinal, in vivo and ex vivo near-infrared (NIR) imaging and histology. Synovium SDF-1α and interleukin (IL)-17A immunostaining was performed. Serum was assayed for SDF-1α and 29 other cytokines. RESULTS In Part 1, there was a significant increase in MSC concentration and synovial fluid SDF-1α in Rupture. No differences in cartilage biomarkers were observed. In Part 2, Rupture had significantly higher NIR signal at 24, 48, and 72 h, indicating active recruitment of MSCs to the injured joint. Ex vivo cell tracking demonstrated MSC localization in the synovium and myotendinous junction (MTJ) of the quadriceps. Injured synovia exhibited increased synovitis grade and higher degree of IL-17A and SDF-1α immunostaining. CONCLUSION ACL rupture induced peripheral blood mobilization of MSCs and migration of intravenously-injected allogenic MSCs to the injured joint, where they localized in the synovium and quadriceps MTJ.

Abstract
Accurate prediction of the time required to heat up granular materials to a target temperature is crucial for several processes. However, we do not have quantitative models to predict the average temperature or the temperature distribution of the particles. Here, we computationally investigate the scaling of heat transfer in granular flows in rotating drums. Based on our simulations, which include a wide range of system and material properties, we identify the appropriate characteristic time that is used to derive equations that predict the particles' average temperature and the particles' temperature distribution.

Abstract
Charcoal production for urban energy consumption is a main driver of forest degradation in sub Saharan Africa. Urban growth projections for the continent suggest that the relevance of this process will increase in the coming decades. Forest degradation associated to charcoal production is difficult to monitor and commonly overlooked and underrepresented in forest cover change and carbon emission estimates. We use a multitemporal dataset of very high-resolution remote sensing images to map kiln locations in a representative study area of tropical woodlands in central Mozambique. The resulting maps provided a characterization of the spatial extent and temporal dynamics of charcoal production. Using an indirect approach we combine kiln maps and field information on charcoal making to describe the magnitude and intensity of forest degradation linked to charcoal production, including aboveground biomass and carbon emissions. Our findings reveal that forest degradation associated to charcoal production in the study area is largely independent from deforestation driven by agricultural expansion and that its impact on forest cover change is in the same order of magnitude as deforestation. Our work illustrates the feasibility of using estimates of urban charcoal consumption to establish a link between urban energy demands and forest degradation. This kind of approach has potential to reduce uncertainties in forest cover change and carbon emission assessments in sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract
This manuscript describes the development of an android-based smartphone application for capturing aerial photographs and spatial metadata automatically, for use in grassroots mapping applications. The aim of the project was to exploit the plethora of on-board sensors within modern smartphones (accelerometer, GPS, compass, camera) to generate ready-to-use spatial data from lightweight aerial platforms such as drones or kites. A visual coding ‘scheme blocks’ framework was used to build the application (‘app’), so that users could customise their own data capture tools in the field. The paper reports on the coding framework, then shows the results of test flights from kites and lightweight drones and finally shows how open-source geospatial toolkits were used to generate geographical information system (GIS)-ready GeoTIFF images from the metadata stored by the app. Two Android smartphones were used in testing–a high specification OnePlus One handset and a lower cost Acer Liquid Z3 handset, to test the operational limits of the app on phones with different sensor sets. We demonstrate that best results were obtained when the phone was attached to a stable single line kite or to a gliding drone. Results show that engine or motor vibrations from powered aircraft required dampening to ensure capture of high quality images. We demonstrate how the products generated from the open-source processing workflow are easily used in GIS. The app can be downloaded freely from the Google store by searching for ‘UAV toolkit’ (UAV toolkit 2016), and used wherever an Android smartphone and aerial platform are available to deliver rapid spatial data (e.g. in supporting decision-making in humanitarian disaster-relief zones, in teaching or for grassroots remote sensing and democratic mapping).

Abstract
Denosumab is an emerging new treatment for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men with non-metastatic prostate cancer. It is largely used by specialists as an alternative treatment in patients with contraindications to traditional, more commonly used drugs such as bisphosphonates. One important side effect is hypocalcaemia, which may be life threatening. The risk of this is increased in renal impairment, mainly if eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73m(2), and is exacerbated by vitamin D insufficiency. This is a case study of prolonged symptomatic hypocalcaemia after a single dose of denosumab in a patient with non-metastatic prostate cancer and moderate renal impairment (eGFR 40 ml/min/1.73m(2)). The patient presented with acute confusion, muscle cramps and myoclonic jerks 5 weeks after treatment. This case demonstrates the need to be aware of adverse effects of denosumab in mild-moderate renal impairment and the need to monitor calcium levels pre- and post-treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) is a rare aggressive subtype that is less likely to be detected through mammographic screening. Identification of circulating markers associated with BLBC could have promise in detecting and managing this deadly disease.
Methods: Using samples from the Polish Breast Cancer study, a high-quality population-based case-control study of breast cancer, we screened 10,000 antigens on protein arrays using 45 BLBC patients and 45 controls, and identified 748 promising plasma autoantibodies (AAbs) associated with BLBC. ELISA assays of promising markers were performed on a total of 145 BLBC cases and 145 age-matched controls. Sensitivities at 98% specificity were calculated and a BLBC classifier was constructed.
Results: We identified a 13-AAbs (CTAG1B, CTAG2, TP53, RNF216, PPHLN1, PIP4K2C, ZBTB16, TAS2R8, WBP2NL, DOK2, PSRC1, MN1, TRIM21) that distinguished BLBC from controls with 33% sensitivity and 98% specificity. We also discovered a strong association of TP53 AAb with its protein expression (p=0.009) in BLBC patients. In addition, MN1 and TP53 AAbs were associated with worse survival (MN1 AAb marker HR=2.25 95%CI= 1.03-4.91 p=0.04; TP53, HR=2.02, 95%CI 1.06-3.85, p=0.03). We found limited evidence that AAb levels differed by demographic characteristics.
Conclusions: These AAbs warrant further investigation in clinical studies to determine their value for further understanding the biology of BLBC and possible detection. Currently, they are also being tested in a large national blind validation trial using a well characterized independent sample set.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact that septoplasty had on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in paediatric patients and to determine whether there were patient characteristics that predicted better outcomes. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Academic paediatric otolaryngology practice. PARTICIPANTS All paediatric patients who underwent septoplasty during the study period. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The current HRQoL was assessed using the Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). The Glasgow Children's Benefit Inventory (GCBI) was used to evaluate the perceived change in HRQoL following septoplasty. RESULTS A total of 29 patients (16 boys, mean age 13 years) and their caregivers responded (response rate of 72.5%). There was a statistically significant improvement in HRQoL following septoplasty, as demonstrated by the positive mean GCBI subscores and the total GCBI score (35.1, sd = 28.4). The total mean PedsQL score for child self-report was 95.2 (sd = 6.9) and for parent-proxy report was 91.8 (sd = 8.6), which indicated good current HRQoL. The enhancement in HRQoL post-septoplasty was moderately correlated with self-reported degree of nasal obstruction pre-septoplasty (r = 0.621 for total GCBI). Also, there were differences in GCBI scores between the groups of children who wanted to have the surgery versus those who did not want to have the surgery. CONCLUSIONS There was a significant positive change in HRQoL following paediatric septoplasty in our study population. Children who reported more severe nasal obstruction and those who wanted to have the surgery were more likely to experience enhancement of HRQoL following their surgery.
