Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyoscine butylbromide (HBB) is one of the most used antispasmodics in clinical practice. Recent translational consensus has demonstrated a similarity between human colonic motor patterns studied ex vivo and in vivo, suggesting ex vivo can predict in vivo results. It is unclear whether the mechanism of action of antispasmodics can predict different use in clinical practice. The aim of the present study is to bridge this gap dissecting HBB's role in excitatory and inhibitory neural pathways. METHODS 309 colon samples from 48 patients were studied in muscle bath experiments. HBB was tested on: 1-spontaneous phasic contractions (SPCs); 2-carbachol-induced contractility; electrical field stimulation (EFS)-induced selective stimulation of 3-excitatory and 4-inhibitory pathways and 5- SPCs and EFS-induced contractions enhanced by neostigmine. Atropine, AF-DX116 (M2 blocker) and DAU-5884 (M3 blocker) were used as comparators. RESULTS In the presence of tetrodotoxin (TTX), HBB and atropine 1 μM reduced SPCs. HBB and atropine concentration-dependently reduced carbachol- and EFS-induced contractions. Inhibitory effects of DAU-5884 on EFS-induced contractions were more potent than of AF-DX116. HBB did not affect the off-response associated to neural inhibitory responses. Neostigmine enhanced both SPCs and EFS-induced contractions. In the presence of TTX and ω-conotoxin (GVIA), neostigmine still enhanced SPCs. Addition of HBB and atropine reduced these responses. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that HBB inhibits neural cholinergic contractions associated to muscarinic (mainly M3) receptors. HBB has a potential role in reducing colonic spasm induced by the release of acetylcholine from enteric motor neurons and from an atypical source including a potential non-neuronal origin.

Abstract
Biometric authentication plays a vital role in various everyday applications with increasing demands for reliability and security. However, the use of real biometric data for research raises privacy concerns and data scarcity issues. A promising approach using synthetic biometric data to address the resulting unbalanced representation and bias, as well as the limited availability of diverse datasets for the development and evaluation of biometric systems, has emerged. Methods for a parameterized generation of highly realistic synthetic data are emerging and the necessary quality metrics to prove that synthetic data can compare to real data are open research tasks. The generation of 3D synthetic face data using game engines' capabilities of generating varied realistic virtual characters is explored as a possible alternative for generating synthetic face data while maintaining reproducibility and ground truth, as opposed to other creation methods. While synthetic data offer several benefits, including improved resilience against data privacy concerns, the limitations and challenges associated with their usage are addressed. Our work shows concurrent behavior in comparing semi-synthetic data as a digital representation of a real identity with their real datasets. Despite slight asymmetrical performance in comparison with a larger database of real samples, a promising performance in face data authentication is shown, which lays the foundation for further investigations with digital avatars and the creation and analysis of fully synthetic data. Future directions for improving synthetic biometric data generation and their impact on advancing biometrics research are discussed.

Abstract
Due to their user-friendliness and reliability, biometric systems have taken a central role in everyday digital identity management for all kinds of private, financial and governmental applications with increasing security requirements. A central security aspect of unsupervised biometric authentication systems is the presentation attack detection (PAD) mechanism, which defines the robustness to fake or altered biometric features. Artifacts like photos, artificial fingers, face masks and fake iris contact lenses are a general security threat for all biometric modalities. The Biometric Evaluation Center of the Institute of Safety and Security Research (ISF) at the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg has specialized in the development of a near-infrared (NIR)-based contact-less detection technology that can distinguish between human skin and most artifact materials. This technology is highly adaptable and has already been successfully integrated into fingerprint scanners, face recognition devices and hand vein scanners. In this work, we introduce a cutting-edge, miniaturized near-infrared presentation attack detection (NIR-PAD) device. It includes an innovative signal processing chain and an integrated distance measurement feature to boost both reliability and resilience. We detail the device's modular configuration and conceptual decisions, highlighting its suitability as a versatile platform for sensor fusion and seamless integration into future biometric systems. This paper elucidates the technological foundations and conceptual framework of the NIR-PAD reference platform, alongside an exploration of its potential applications and prospective enhancements.

Abstract
Background Constipation is characterized by symptoms of straining, hard stool, difficult evacuation, and infrequent bowel movements. Online surveys provide valuable information about patients' perspectives, symptoms, management, treatment satisfaction, and risk factors. Methods This survey explored subject experiences involving 20 gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. In total, 20,099 respondents in seven countries with varied cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds participated. Post hoc analysis of 'self-reported constipation' and related symptoms experienced within the past 6 months and the last episode of constipation provided data on prevalence, demographics, frequency and duration of episodes and related symptoms, impact on quality of life (QoL), management with or without laxatives, and resulting treatment satisfaction. Results In total, 10,425 subjects reported constipation within 6 months and 2637 at the last episode. Prevalence was highest in females and younger adults. Most subjects reported various coexisting GI symptoms. Almost 80% of 6865 episodes reported by 5337 subjects occurred every 2-3 months to every 2-3 weeks. A higher frequency of constipation correlated with a greater impact on QoL. On a 10-point scale, the mean impact was 6.4. More than 90% of respondents had episodes ranging from 1 day to 1 week. More than 90% took action; 16% used laxatives, of whom 80.3% were satisfied. Conclusion Constipation, a highly prevalent disorder, spans cultures and socioeconomic classes. Its chronic recurrence has a significant impact on QoL, resulting in symptom self-management in >90% of subjects. Significantly higher satisfaction rates in subjects treated with than without laxatives reflect subjects' reports that self-reported constipation can be treated effectively with laxatives.

Abstract
We present improved constraints on the coupling of ultralight bosonic dark matter to photons based on long-term measurements of two optical frequency ratios. In these optical clock comparisons, we relate the frequency of the ^{2}S_{1/2}(F=0)↔^{2}F_{7/2}(F=3) electric-octupole (E3) transition in ^{171}Yb^{+} to that of the ^{2}S_{1/2}(F=0)↔^{2}D_{3/2}(F=2) electric-quadrupole (E2) transition of the same ion, and to that of the ^{1}S_{0}↔^{3}P_{0} transition in ^{87}Sr. Measurements of the first frequency ratio ν_{E3}/ν_{E2} are performed via interleaved interrogation of both transitions in a single ion. The comparison of the single-ion clock based on the E3 transition with a strontium optical lattice clock yields the second frequency ratio ν_{E3}/ν_{Sr}. By constraining oscillations of the fine-structure constant α with these measurement results, we improve existing bounds on the scalar coupling d_{e} of ultralight dark matter to photons for dark matter masses in the range of about (10^{-24}-10^{-17}) eV/c^{2}. These results constitute an improvement by more than an order of magnitude over previous investigations for most of this range. We also use the repeated measurements of ν_{E3}/ν_{E2} to improve existing limits on a linear temporal drift of α and its coupling to gravity.

Abstract
TBX5 is a transcription factor (TF) playing essential role during cardiogenesis. It is well known that TF mutations possibly result in non- or additional binding of the DNA due to conformational changes of the protein. We introduced a Holt-Oram Syndrome (HOS) patient-specific TBX5 mutation c.920_C > A heterozygously in a healthy induced pluripotent stell cell (iPSC) line. This TBX5 mutation results in conformational changes of the protein and displayed ventricular septal defects in the patient itself. Additionally we introduced a FLAG-tag on the TBX5 mutation-carrying allele. The resulting heterozygous TBX5-FLAG iPSC lines are a powerful tool to investigate altered TF activity bonding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Potential habituation could be a safety concern associated with the long-term use of bisacodyl in patients with constipation. OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluated whether patients with constipation who require long-term treatment with bisacodyl will remain on a stable dose when treated for ≥ 28 days. METHODS In this retrospective, population-based, observational cohort study, electronic medical record data of adult patients with constipation between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2019, were collected from The Health Improvement Network French database. Total bisacodyl exposure during the long-term (≥ 28 days) and follow-up (12 months) periods was evaluated. The primary endpoint was the dose change status of bisacodyl during the follow-up period from the initial dose in the long-term cohort. RESULTS Out of 5725 bisacodyl users in the database, 218 patients qualified to be part of the long-term cohort. A total of 166 (76.1%), 37 (17%), and 15 (6.9%) patients were initiated on bisacodyl at 5, 7.5, and 10 mg, respectively. During the follow-up, most (94%) of the patients remained on the same dose as initially prescribed for the first year. In contrast, only seven (3.2%) patients had their dose increased (from the initial prescribed dose of 5 mg), and the remaining six (2.8%) patients decreased their dose (four patients from the 7.5 mg group and two from the 10 mg group). CONCLUSION Bisacodyl can be prescribed at a stable dose for > 28 days as most patients remained on their initial prescribed dose during the follow-up period. No signs of habituation were observed in this real-world study.

Abstract
The European Initiative HBM4EU aimed to further establish human biomonitoring across Europe as an important tool for determining population exposure to chemicals and as part of health-related risk assessments, thus making it applicable for policy advice. Not only should analytical methods and survey design be harmonized and quality assured, but also the evaluation of human biomonitoring data. For the health-related interpretation of the data within HBM4EU, a strategy for deriving health-based human biomonitoring guidance values (HBM-GVs) for both the general population and workers was agreed on. On this basis, HBM-GVs for exposure biomarkers of 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (DINCH), phthalates (diethyl hexyl phthalate (DEHP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP), diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBzP), and bis-(2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP)), bisphenols A and S, pyrethroids (deltamethrin and cyfluthrin), solvents (1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), 1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-one (NEP), N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC)), the heavy metal cadmium and the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) were developed and assigned a level of confidence. The approach to HBM-GV derivations, results, and limitations in data interpretation with special focus on the pyrethroids are presented in this paper.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Caffeine enhances the efficacy of non-opioid analgesics. Data on the cardiovascular health effects of caffeine intake are controversial, and studies on the cardiovascular effects of medical caffeine use are lacking. OBJECTIVE The study aims to explore the cardiovascular effects of an ibuprofen/caffeine combination in comparison to ibuprofen alone. METHODS Secondary analysis of a previously reported bioequivalence study of a single dose of a fixed dose ibuprofen/caffeine combination (400/100 mg) vs. ibuprofen alone in a randomized, cross-over design in 36 healthy volunteers. Plasma catecholamines were analyzed to enhance mechanistic interpretation of the data. RESULTS After exclusion of 10 protocol violators (pre-dosing intake of caffeine), vital signs were comparable over a 24-h period in the absence and presence of caffeine. Plasma catecholamine levels were also comparable. CONCLUSION These data do not support the hypothesis that occasional intake of a small dose of caffeine as part of pain medication imposes a health risk due to vital sign changes. Based on the proven increase in efficacy, the addition of caffeine to non-opioid analgesics such as IBU has a favorable risk/benefit profile for occasional use.

Abstract
Although TBX5 plays a major role during human cardiogenesis and initiates and controls limb development, many of its interactions with genomic DNA and the resulting biological consequences are not well known. Existing anti-TBX5-antibodies work very inefficiently in certain applications such as ChIP-Seq analysis. To circumvent this drawback, we introduced a FLAG-tag sequence into the TBX5 locus at the end of exon 9 prior to the stop codon by CRISPR/Cas9. The expressed TBX5-FLAG fusion protein can effectively be precipitated by anti-FLAG antibodies. Therefore, these gene-edited iPSC lines represent powerful cellular in vitro tools to unravel TBX5:DNA interactions in detail.

Abstract
In the present review paper by members of the collaborative research center "Register: Language Users' Knowledge of Situational-Functional Variation" (CRC 1412), we assess the pervasiveness of register phenomena across different time periods, languages, modalities, and cultures. We define "register" as recurring variation in language use depending on the function of language and on the social situation. Informed by rich data, we aim to better understand and model the knowledge involved in situation- and function-based use of language register. In order to achieve this goal, we are using complementary methods and measures. In the review, we start by clarifying the concept of "register", by reviewing the state of the art, and by setting out our methods and modeling goals. Against this background, we discuss three key challenges, two at the methodological level and one at the theoretical level: (1) To better uncover registers in text and spoken corpora, we propose changes to established analytical approaches. (2) To tease apart between-subject variability from the linguistic variability at issue (intra-individual situation-based register variability), we use within-subject designs and the modeling of individuals' social, language, and educational background. (3) We highlight a gap in cognitive modeling, viz. modeling the mental representations of register (processing), and present our first attempts at filling this gap. We argue that the targeted use of multiple complementary methods and measures supports investigating the pervasiveness of register phenomena and yields comprehensive insights into the cross-methodological robustness of register-related language variability. These comprehensive insights in turn provide a solid foundation for associated cognitive modeling.

Abstract
We study the coherent excitation of the ^{2}S_{1/2}→^{2}F_{7/2} electric octupole (E3) transition by twisted light modes with a single ^{171}Yb^{+} ion in the dark center of a vortex beam. The intensity distribution of the beam is mapped as a function of the ion's position by measuring the light shift on an auxiliary electric quadrupole transition. In the center of the vortex beam, we observe excitation of the E3 transition with a fivefold reduced light shift in comparison to excitation by plane wave radiation for the same Rabi frequency. We measure the excitation probabilities for Laguerre-Gaussian twisted light modes of first and second order for different polarization patterns at various orientations of the ion quantization axis with respect to the beam propagation vector. We compare the experimental results with theoretical predictions and find good qualitative agreement.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Mitral valve replacement/repeair procedures increase year. Redo procedure and severely calcified mitral ring are risk factors for high mortality. Transmitral valve implantation (TMVI) represents a less invasive procedure in high-risk population, but still with increase mortality. We seek to evaluate a one single center experience the safety and efficacy in patients undergoing transeptal TMVI with degenerated bioprostheses or ring and high surgical risk candidates with heavily mitral anulus calcification (MAC).
Methods
One-single centre, retrospective observational analysis, included patientes from 2012 to 2021 treated with a valve in mitral position. Valve-in-valve (ViV), valve in ring (ViR) and valve in MAC were included. Periprocedural, and in-hospital complications were documented and analyzed.
Results
Seventy-nine patients were included. ViV was done in 59 patients, ViR in 8 patients, ViMAC in 10 patients and Valve in native anatomy in 2 patients. Baseline, procedural characteristics and complications and reported on table. No significant statistical difference was observed in baseline characteristics. STS Score was 7.77+5.37 in ViV patients, 5.77+3.02 in ViR patients, 8.70+4.47 in ViMAC patients and 6.29+0.55 in native anatomy (p=0.634). Procedural success was observed in 96.6% of ViV, 87.5% in ViR, 80% in ViMAC and 100% in native anatomy (p=0.124). Procedural related death was observed only in one ViV patient. Conversion to surgery and valve embolisation was observed in one ViV (1.7%) and ViR (12.5%) patient, respectively. In-hospital death was observed in 5.1% ViV patients, 12.5% ViR, 20% ViMAC and none of the native anatomy patients.
Conclusion
TMVI is still challenging but feasible and safe. Carefully planning and heart team approach in experiences centers is important to address this issue and reduce as much as possible any complication.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Gestational hypoxia can lead to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and programming of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood via different, although not completely understood, epigenetic mechanisms. We have previously shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from NADPH oxidases contribute to hypoxia induced pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, their role in disease programming by gestational hypoxia is not resolved.
Purpose
We aimed to elucidate the role of NADPH oxidases and redox sensitive miRNAs in the cardiovascular response of adult offspring to transient gestational hypoxia.
Methods
Wildtype (WT) and nmf333 mice, lacking a functional p22phox dependent NADPH oxidase, were exposed to gestational hypoxia from E10.5 to E11.5. Embryos and adult offspring were analyzed by functional, immunohistochemical and molecular methods including mRNA and miRNA profiling. miRNA mimics or inhibitors were applied in vivo and in vitro using embryoid bodies (EBs). Heart samples from patients with right heart disease associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) were used to validate target miRNA expression.
Results
Transient gestational hypoxia was sufficient to induce IUGR in embryos and pulmonary hypertension (PH) characterized by right ventricular hypertrophy, increased right ventricular pressure and pulmonary vascular remodeling in adult offspring from WT mice while p22phox-deficient nmf333 mice were protected. Cardiac mRNA and miRNA profiling followed by qPCR validation identified several single miRNAs derived from the 17/92 miRNA cluster as downregulated by gestational hypoxia and NADPH oxidases in embryos and adult offspring hearts. In vitro analyses using EBs validated a single miRNA from this cluster to be sufficient to induce cardiac differentiation in response to hypoxia and p22phox, and target analyses identified the mTOR pathway as dysregulated. Treatment with an inhibitor targeting this miRNA was sufficient to induce PH in adult mice, while treating offspring derived from gestational hypoxia pregnancies with an miRNA mimic prevented the development of PH in the adult and dysregulation of the mTOR pathway. Importantly, expression of this single miRNA from the miRNA 17/92 cluster was negatively correlated to right ventricular pressure in CHD patients.
Conclusions
In this study, we demonstrate that gestational hypoxia programs PH in adulthood by upregulating NADPH oxidases and downregulating miRNAs derived from the 17/92 cluster subsequently affecting the mTOR pathway. Since dysregulation of a single miRNA from this cluster induced not only PH but was also associated with right ventricular pressure in CHD patients, these findings might open novel options for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of right heart disease.

Abstract
We generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from a healthy male 29-year-old proband. Adipose fibroblasts (AFs) were reprogrammed using Sendai virus. Generated iPSCs showed typical stem cell morphology. From passage 9 on, iPSCs were free of virus. Pluripotency in the iPSCs was verified and spontaneous differentiation showed expression of all three germ layers. Karyotyping indicated no anomalies for the generated iPSCs. Many patient-specific iPSCs are generated from subcutaneous fat fibroblasts obtained during surgical procedure. The described control iPSC line was generated equally and therefore serves as an ideal control for adipose-fibroblast-based patient-specific iPSC lines in disease modeling.

Abstract
The Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, mostly based on mutations in the TBX5 gene. Patients show malformation of at least one upper limb along with congenital heart defects. The established induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from a patient displaying pronounced and typical features of HOS and carrying a single-nucleotide change c.920_C>A leading to an amino acid change from proline to threonine at amino acid position 85, which appeared de novo. Adipose fibroblasts from the patient were reprogrammed using Sendai virus. Pluripotency of the iPSCs was fully demonstrated.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the radiative lifetime of the ^{2}F_{7/2} level of ^{171}Yb^{+} that is coupled to the ^{2}S_{1/2} ground state via an electric octupole transition. The radiative lifetime is determined to be 4.98(25)×10^{7} s, corresponding to 1.58(8) yr. The result reduces the relative uncertainty in this exceptionally long excited state lifetime by 1 order of magnitude with respect to previous experimental estimates. Our method is based on the coherent excitation of the corresponding transition and avoids limitations through competing decay processes. The explicit dependence on the laser intensity is eliminated by simultaneously measuring the resonant Rabi frequency and the induced quadratic Stark shift. Combining the result with information on the dynamic differential polarizability permits a calculation of the transition matrix element to infer the radiative lifetime.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisacodyl is a member of the diphenylmethane family and is considered to be a stimulant laxative. It has a dual prokinetic and secretory action and needs to be converted into the active metabolite bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane (BHPM) in the gut to achieve the desired laxative effect. Bisacodyl acts locally in the large bowel by directly enhancing the motility, reducing transit time, and increasing the water content of the stool. A recent network meta-analysis concluded that bisacodyl showed similar efficacy to prucalopride, lubiprostone, linaclotide, tegaserod, velusetrag, elobixibat, and sodium picosulfate for the primary endpoint of ≥3 complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBM)/week and an increase of ≥1 CSBM/week over baseline. The meta-analysis also found that bisacodyl may be superior to the other laxatives for the secondary endpoint of change from baseline in the number of spontaneous bowel movements per week in patients with chronic constipation. This observation stimulated the authors to review the available literature on bisacodyl, which has been available on the market since the 1950 s. PURPOSE The aim of the current review was to provide an overview of the historic background, structure, function, and mechanism of action of bisacodyl. Additionally, we discuss the important features and studies for bisacodyl to understand its peculiar characteristics and guide its use in clinical practice, but also stimulate research on open questions.

Background
Reaching secondary prevention targets improves long-term prognosis in patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although prevention targets are defined by guidelines, their achievement rates are insufficiently documented. Suitable benchmarking tools are lacking.
Purpose
We aimed to determine the degree of secondary prevention care by creating a secondary prevention benchmark score (2PBM) and using it in patients undergoing ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after an acute coronary syndrome.
Methods
In this observational cohort study, 472 consecutive ACS patients who completed the local ambulatory CR programme between 2017-2019 were included. Benchmarks for secondary prevention medication, clinical and lifestyle targets were predefined and combined in the complete 2PBM with maximum 10 points. The association of patient characteristics and achievement rates of individual components and the complete 2PBM were assessed using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
Results
Patients were on average 62 ± 11 years old and predominantly male (n = 406; 86%). Type of ACS was ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in 241 patients (51%) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction in 216 patients (46%). Achievement rates for individual components of the 2PBM were 71% for medication, 35% for clinical and 61% for lifestyle benchmarks. Achievement of medication benchmark was associated with younger age [odds ratio (OR): 0.979, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.959-0.996, p = 0.021] and history of STEMI [OR: 2.05, 95% CI 1.35-3.12, p = 0.001]. Achievement of clinical benchmark was associated with medication benchmark [OR: 1.66, 95% CI 1.03-2.71, p = 0.042]. The complete 2PBM was achieved by 74 patients (16%), while 362 patients (77%) reached ≥8 points. Achievement of complete 2PBM was independently associated with a history of STEMI [OR: 1.79, 95 CI 1.06-3.08 p = 0.032].
Conclusion
Benchmarking with 2PBM identifies gaps and achievements in secondary prevention care. A history of STEMI was associated with the highest 2PBM score, suggesting best secondary prevention care in patients after STEMI. 2PBM may be used for internal quality control, comparison of cohorts and future correlation studies between CR targets and outcomes.

Abstract
Humoral immunity to the Severe Adult Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Coronavirus (CoV)-2 is not fully understood yet but is a crucial factor of immune protection. The possibility of antibody cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2 and other human coronaviruses (HCoVs) would have important implications for immune protection but also for the development of specific diagnostic ELISA tests. Using peptide microarrays, n = 24 patient samples and n = 12 control samples were screened for antibodies against the entire SARS-CoV-2 proteome as well as the Spike (S), Nucleocapsid (N), VME1 (V), R1ab, and Protein 3a (AP3A) of the HCoV strains SARS, MERS, OC43, and 229E. While widespread cross-reactivity was revealed across several immunodominant regions of S and N, IgG binding to several SARS-CoV-2-derived peptides provided statistically significant discrimination between COVID-19 patients and controls. Selected target peptides may serve as capture antigens for future, highly COVID-19-specific diagnostic antibody tests.

Abstract
Understanding day-to-day variations in symptoms and medication management can be important in describing patient centered outcomes for people with constipation. Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD) from digital devices is a potential solution, but its utility as a tool for describing experiences of people with frequent constipation is unknown. We conducted a virtual, 16-week prospective study of individuals with frequent constipation from an online wellness platform that connects mobile consumer digital devices including wearable monitors capable of passively collecting steps, sleep, and heart rate data. Participants wore a Fitbit monitoring device for the study duration and were administered daily and monthly surveys assessing constipation symptom severity and medication usage. A set of 38 predetermined day-level behavioral activity metrics were computed from minute-level data streams for steps, sleep and heart rate. Mixed effects regression models were used to compare activity metrics between constipation status (irregular or constipated vs. regular day), medication use (medication day vs. non-medication day) and the interaction of medication day with irregular or constipation days, as well as to model likelihood to treat with constipation medications based on daily self-reported symptom severity. Correction for multiple comparisons was performed with the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure for false discovery rate. This study analyzed 1540 enrolled participants with completed daily surveys (mean age 36.6 sd 10.0, 72.8% female, 88.8% Caucasian). Of those, 1293 completed all monthly surveys and 756 had sufficient Fitbit data density for analysis of activity metrics. At a daily-level, 22 of the 38 activity metrics were significantly associated with bowel movement or medication treatment patterns for constipation. Participants were measured to have fewer steps on irregular days compared to regular days (-200 steps, 95% CI [-280, -120]), longer periods of inactivity on constipated days (9.1 min, 95% CI [5.2, 12.9]), reduced total sleep time on irregular and constipated days (-2.4 min, 95% CI [-4.3, -0.4] and -4.0 min, 95% CI [-6.5, -1.4], respectively). Participants reported greater severity of symptoms for bloating, hard stool, difficulty passing, and painful bowel movements on irregular, constipation and medication days compared to regular days with no medication. Interaction analysis of medication days with irregular or constipation days observed small increases in severity compared to non-medication days. Participants were 4.3% (95% CI 3.2, 5.3) more likely to treat with medication on constipated days versus regular. No significant increase in likelihood was observed for irregular days. Daily likelihood to treat increased for each 1-point change in symptom severity of bloating (2.4%, 95% CI [2.0, 2.7]), inability to pass (2.2%, 95% CI [1.4, 3.0]) and incomplete bowel movements (1.3%, 95% CI [0.9, 1.7]). This is the first large scale virtual prospective study describing the association between passively collected PGHD and constipation symptoms and severity at a day-to-day granularity level. Constipation status, irregular or constipated, was associated with a number of activity metrics in steps and sleep, and likelihood to treat with medication increased with increasing severity for a number of constipation symptoms. Given the small magnitude of effect, further research is needed to understand the clinical relevance of these results. PGHD may be useful as a tool for describing real world patient centered experiences for people with constipation.

Abstract
We compare two optical clocks based on the ^{2}S_{1/2}(F=0)→^{2}D_{3/2}(F=2) electric quadrupole (E2) and the ^{2}S_{1/2}(F=0)→^{2}F_{7/2}(F=3) electric octupole (E3) transition of ^{171}Yb^{+} and measure the frequency ratio ν_{E3}/ν_{E2}=0.932829404530965376(32), improving upon previous measurements by an order of magnitude. Using two caesium fountain clocks, we find ν_{E3}=642121496772645.10(8) Hz, the most accurate determination of an optical transition frequency to date. Repeated measurements of both quantities over several years are analyzed for potential violations of local position invariance. We improve by factors of about 20 and 2 the limits for fractional temporal variations of the fine structure constant α to 1.0(1.1)×10^{-18}/yr and of the proton-to-electron mass ratio μ to -8(36)×10^{-18}/yr. Using the annual variation of the Sun's gravitational potential at Earth Φ, we improve limits for a potential coupling of both constants to gravity, (c^{2}/α)(dα/dΦ)=14(11)×10^{-9} and (c^{2}/μ)(dμ/dΦ)=7(45)×10^{-8}.

Abstract
We report on the first coherent excitation of the highly forbidden ^{2}S_{1/2}→^{2}F_{7/2} electric octupole (E3) transition in a single trapped ^{172}Yb^{+} ion, an isotope without nuclear spin. Using the transition in ^{171}Yb^{+} as a reference, we determine the transition frequency to be 642 116 784 950 887.6(2.4) Hz. We map out the magnetic field environment using the forbidden ^{2}S_{1/2}→^{2}D_{5/2} electric quadrupole (E2) transition and determine its frequency to be 729 476 867 027 206.8(4.4) Hz. Our results are a factor of 1×10^{5} (3×10^{5}) more accurate for the E2 (E3) transition compared to previous measurements. The results open up the way to search for new physics via precise isotope shift measurements and improved tests of local Lorentz invariance using the metastable ^{2}F_{7/2} state of Yb^{+}.

Abstract
We introduce a scheme to coherently suppress second-rank tensor frequency shifts in atomic clocks, relying on the continuous rotation of an external magnetic field during the free atomic state evolution in a Ramsey sequence. The method retrieves the unperturbed frequency within a single interrogation cycle and is readily applicable to various atomic clock systems. For the frequency shift due to the electric quadrupole interaction, we experimentally demonstrate suppression by more than two orders of magnitude for the ^{2}S_{1/2}→^{2}D_{3/2} transition of a single trapped ^{171}Yb^{+} ion. The scheme provides particular advantages in the case of the ^{171}Yb^{+} ^{2}S_{1/2}→^{2}F_{7/2} electric octupole (E3) transition. For an improved estimate of the residual quadrupole shift for this transition, we measure the excited state electric quadrupole moments Θ(^{2}D_{3/2})=1.95(1)ea_{0}^{2} and Θ(^{2}F_{7/2})=-0.0297(5)ea_{0}^{2} with e the elementary charge and a_{0} the Bohr radius, improving the measurement uncertainties by one order of magnitude.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Osteoporosis is a disease adversely affecting the bone health and causing fragility fractures. Osteoporosis is affecting the lives of approximately 200 million people worldwide and causing nearly 9 million fractures annually. In the European Union the economic burden of osteoporosis and prior fragility fractures was estimated at €37 billion in 2010; the costs are predicted to double by the year 2050. The disease takes both personal and economic toll by causing significant disability and increasing health-care costs as the population ages. There is evidence, that certain environmental substances may increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Methods
In the framework of the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) a set of 18 priority substances and substance groups were selected to be further studied. Within HBM4EU a scoping document has been prepared for each of the substance groups. Based on a review of the recent literature, a scoping review of substances which might be associated with osteoporosis was prepared.
Results
The literature research revealed that there is a possible link of osteoporosis and heavy metals such as cadmium and lead. Additionally, for phthalates and per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), a potential association was observed. Especially women in perimenopausal and postmenopausal stage have been identified as being at greater risk of harmful effects. Other substances such as bisphenols, arsenic, mercury and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspected to have adverse effects on bone health but the evidence is still incomplete.
Conclusions
Although there is some evidence that these environmental substances have an adverse effect on human health, more research is needed. Some of the evidence is inconsistent, and there is a lack of extensive epidemiological studies. Since people are exposed to many substances simultaneously, there is a need to initiate studies which attempt to clarify the possible combined effects.
Key messages
Exposure to cadmium, lead, phthalates and PFASs may adversely affect bone health and increase a risk of osteoporosis. An inverse association of chemicals and bone mineral density is often detected. The growing concern of chemical exposure requires initiating of epidemiological studies on the subject. Multidisciplinary action for safeguarding citizenś health in Europe and worldwide is needed.

Abstract
Abstract
Increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is causing significant health burden among the European population. Current knowledge supports the notion that endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) interfere with human metabolism and hormonal balance, contributing to the conventionally recognized life-style related risk factors for MetS. In relation to the Human biomonitoring initiative (HBM4EU) five priority substances (Bisphenol A, Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), Phthalates, Cadmium and Arsenic) and their association with adverse metabolic health effects were examined.
A methodological framework for scoping reviews was followed to increase consistency and transparency throughout the process. A literature review was conducted to identify epidemiological studies focusing on the association between MetS or its individual components and the five HBM4EU priority substances.
Human biomonitoring studies have been able to present evidence supporting EDC exposure and development of individual MetS components; however the strength of the association varies between the components and EDCs. Most of the identified literature examined Bisphenol A and Phthalate exposure, usually targeting obesity, anthropometrics or glucose metabolism. Evidence suggests a positive association between Bisphenol A and Phthalate exposure and obesity-related components. The substance group of PFASs indicated weakest association, as the results were inconsistent and were suggestive only for a positive association with development of dyslipidaemia.
Current evidence on metabolic disturbances and EDCs are inconclusive and fragmented, hence establishing harmonized and standardized human biomonitoring procedures among the European population are needed. Rigorous and ongoing human biomonitoring in combination with health monitoring could provide comprehensive information on EDC exposure and association of metabolic disturbances.
Key messages
EDC exposure is ubiquitous within European population, hence more human biomonitoring in combination with health surveys is needed to strengthen knowledge on human’s metabolic health. MetS is an increasing global health concern, which requires novel approaches to tackle the challenge.

Abstract
Introduction A fixed dose combination (FDC) of ibuprofen 400 mg and caffeine 100 mg has been shown to be more effective than ibuprofen 400 mg alone for the treatment of acute postoperative dental pain in a phase III randomised controlled trial. A post hoc subgroup analysis of the primary data from an active-/placebo-controlled, double-blind, single-centre, parallel-group study was conducted in patients with moderate or severe baseline pain. Methods After dental surgery, patients with moderate or severe pain, which was determined on a 4-point verbal rating scale (‘no pain’ to ‘severe pain’), received a single dose of ibuprofen 400 mg/caffeine 100 mg FDC, ibuprofen 400 mg, caffeine 100 mg or placebo. Pain relief (PAR) and pain intensity were assessed 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 h after administration of study medication. The primary study endpoint was the time-weighted sum of PAR and pain intensity difference (PID) from pre-dose baseline, summed for all post-dose assessment times from 0 to 8 h (SPRID0–8h). Results There were 237 patients with moderate pain and 325 with severe pain at baseline. SPRID0–8h was significantly improved with the FDC versus ibuprofen, caffeine and placebo in the moderate and severe pain subgroups. Adjusted mean SPRID0–8h difference for the FDC versus ibuprofen was 18.19 (p < 0.0001) for patients with moderate pain and 7.70 (p = 0.0409) for patients with severe pain. With the exception of the 7-h measurement in patients with moderate pain, PID was significantly improved with the FDC versus ibuprofen at all measured time points from 0.5 to 8 h. In the severe pain subgroup, PID was significantly improved for the FDC versus ibuprofen from 0.5 to 3 h post-dose, but was not significantly different thereafter. Conclusion The enhanced analgesic efficacy of ibuprofen/caffeine FDC versus ibuprofen is most pronounced in patients with moderate intensity pain at baseline, and also evident in patients with severe baseline pain. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT01929031. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ibuprofen is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain. Research suggests that combining ibuprofen with caffeine can increase the analgesic efficacy. Previously, a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed that this ibuprofen/caffeine combination was significantly more effective than ibuprofen alone for relieving pain after dental surgery (wisdom tooth removal). Patients in that study had moderate or severe pain, so the researchers conducted another analysis of the study data to investigate how well the ibuprofen/caffeine combination worked in patients with moderate pain and in patients with severe pain. The study found that a single dose of ibuprofen/caffeine was significantly more effective than ibuprofen alone in patients with moderate pain and in those with severe pain. The analgesic effects of ibuprofen/caffeine were more marked in patients with moderate pain than in those with severe pain. This indicates that ibuprofen/caffeine is an effective pain reliever for patients with moderate pain, and to a lesser extent in patients with severe pain.
