Authors: Thake Moritz , Sikorski Franziska , Löwe Bernd , Kohlmann Sebastian
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is probably the most often recommended depression screening questionnaire. Despite its frequent use on the internet, the criterion validity of the PHQ-9 and its abbreviated versions, the PHQ-8 and the PHQ-2, have not yet been validated for online use.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to determine the criterion validity of the PHQ-9 and its abbreviated versions for online screening for major depression using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Disorders (SCID-5-CV) as a criterion.

METHODS

The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the individual cut-offs, and the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-curve) were calculated in a cross-sectional design using data from the DISCOVER study which was an internet-based trial on the effects of automated feedback after depression screening.

RESULTS

In total, n = 790 participants (574 (72.7%) female, age: 37.4 (SD=13.9)) were screened with the PHQ-9 (mean=11.1; SD=5.4) and interviewed with the SCID (41.2 % fulfilling criterion of major depression). Combined sensitivity and specificity of the PHQ-9 were highest for a cut-off of 11 points (sensitivity: 0.77; specificity: 0.68; area-under-the curve (AUC): 0.80) with a NPV of 81% and a PPV of 63% respectively. For the PHQ-8 the combined sensitivity and specificity was highest for a cut-off of 11 points (sensitivity: 0.74; specificity: 0.71; AUC: 0.76), NPV was 79% and PPV was 64%., for the PHQ-2 for a cut-off of 3 points (sensitivity: 0.68; specificity: 0.74; AUC: 0.79) with a NPV of 77% and a PPV of 65%. With respect to age and gender, no relevant group deviations could be identified with AUCs ranging from 0.75 to 0.82.

CONCLUSIONS

In conclusion, the PHQ-9 and its abbreviated versions show a moderate to good diagnostic quality and appear to be a suitable online screening instrument for major depression. Nevertheless, due to the number of false positives and false negatives a positive screening can not be equated to a diagnosis.

Authors: Wen Changhui
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Acne stands as a prevalent chronic inflammatory dermatological condition, typically characterized by concurrent skin inflammation and scarring.

OBJECTIVE

Currently, although many studies have been conducted on the pathogenesis of acne, a comprehensive understanding of its potential biomarkers is still pending.

METHODS

Key genes and immune cell characteristics associated with acne were investigated through bioinformatics analysis of transcriptomic data from acne patients in the public database GEO.

RESULTS

A total of 198 significantly differentially expressed genes were identified in GSE6475 and GSE53795 datasets. Gene modules significantly associated with disease traits were identified by WGCNA network analysis, and their functional enrichment was further analyzed. The best diagnostic genes were LRRC17, TCN1, S100A12 and CCL19. The accuracy of the diagnostic model was verified by ROC curves and expression was validated in both datasets. GSEA functional enrichment analysis revealed the biological functions of these diagnostic genes. In addition, the analysis of immune cell scores by CIBERSORT algorithm revealed the differences in immune cells between acne patients and healthy patients, and found the correlation between multiple immune cells and diagnostic gene presentation.

CONCLUSIONS

This bioinformatics study provides insights into the molecular mechanisms and immune regulation of acne and uncovers potential biomarkers that provide important clues for future disease diagnosis and treatment.

Authors: Varma Sanskriti , Black Alicen , Commons Erin , Ho Pen , Bravata Dena , Liu Hau
Published: January 2025

UNSTRUCTURED

Socially vulnerable populations have less access to quality gastrointestinal (GI) care. Digital telehealth services provided by GI-focused Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) and Digestive Health Coaches (HCs) may improve digestive health outcomes by facilitating access to GI care and thereby reducing healthcare disparities among vulnerable populations. The objectives of this study were to 1) evaluate the impact of a digital digestive health program on reducing GI symptoms among socially vulnerable populations and 2) assess whether telehealth visits with digital application (app)-usage provide additional benefits in symptom reduction compared to digital app-usage alone among socially vulnerable populations. A comprehensive digital digestive care program with optional telehealth visits with RDNs and HCs was provided to US employees of participating companies via their employee benefits. We enrolled participants in the program between 2022-2023, and they tracked symptoms at least twice within 30-90 days. We measured changes in GI symptoms from baseline to up to 3 months, comparing those who opted for telehealth visits with those who used the app only. We stratified participants by the median Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) in our cohort to evaluate symptom improvement across socially vulnerable populations. Multivariable regressions adjusted for age, gender, race, BMI, and pre-existing GI conditions. 1656 participants met inclusion criteria, of which 1362 (82%) scheduled at least one telehealth visit and 18% used only app-based resources. The majority (86%) of participants saw GI symptom improvement, with an average reduction of 60% in symptom burden (p<0.001). Participants who used telehealth services and the app had a symptom reduction of 16% greater than that of app-only users (p=0.01). High SVI participants (>0.4, median), indicating greater social vulnerability, had a 22% greater reduction in a GI symptom severity score than app-only high SVI participants (p=0.04). Digital health solutions may be an important resource in advancing equitable access to quality GI care and addressing disparities among populations with high social vulnerability. Virtual telehealth visits with RDNs and HCs appear to be particularly beneficial in improving digestive symptoms in such populations.

Abstract: One of the major problem for this generation is to deal with traffic. Due to traffic congestion, high level of fuel use for
motor vehicles, long travel time of destination work tardiness and some often come up with car collisions happening. The
problems like very bad condition of roads, dust etc. also leads to more congestion as compared well maintained transport system,
harsh weather conditions like rain or fog may be other causes of chaotic situation and lack in knowledge about the traffic rules
along with right choice for route selection at the time traveling. And in this generation nearly every one of the people want to
follow smart work rather than hard working as a traveller to crawl their respective goals without wasting of time, money, Fuel
resources. This scripts high slow the application of route optimization model for placing a request to planning good path finder
using IOT combined Machine learning Algorithm.
While current route recommendation systems analyse past traffic data and predict present conditions, their suggested paths are
not always optimal due to the dynamic nature of traffic flow. Multiple intertwining factors continually transform road conditions
in real-time, necessitating a more nuanced solution. We propose an integrated machine learning and IoT model tracking GPS,
weather sensors, and other real-time data sources to intelligently adapt to streets' fluctuating states. By harnessing this wealth of
contextual updates, travellers using our system will receive personalized, situation-aware guidance optimized for their specific
journey. Whether routes fill after incidents clear or alternative paths emerge through predictive diversions, this combinatory
approach learns the interconnectivity of influences shaping each traveller’s optimal path. Empowering drivers with such
nuanced, up-to-the-moment recommendations allows them to reach their destinations more smoothly amid transportation
networks' ceaseless changes

Published: January 2025

Objectives: This study aimed to assess IBD severity and its prognostic activity using peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets.
 
Methods: The study was conducted on 46 patients with Crohn’s disease (CD), 55 with ulcerative colitis (UC), and 20 healthy controls (HCs). Based on the Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) and Mayo score, patients were classified into remission or active status. Blood samples were collected from patients and analyzed for CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, and CD19+ proportions. Differential leukocytes, platelets, albumin, globulin, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and faecal calprotectin were also assessed.
 
Results: CD4+, CD8+, and CD19+ proportions were increased in CD and UC patients, while CD3+ was declined. CD4+ and CD19+ were elevated in remission and active CD, but CD8+ was changed only in active CD. Among UC patients, lymphocyte subsets were elevated in remission and active status. CD19+ positively correlated with CD severity. Consequently, CD19+ combined with inflammatory markers was highly significant in CD.
 
Conclusion: These results suggest that peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets are good biomarkers for the IBD severity and prognostic activity with great clinical application values.

Published: January 2025

A Bíblia extrapolou as paredes da Teologia e invadiu o mundo da Literatura, emprestando seus personagens e temas a diversas obras literárias em todo o mundo. No entanto, o uso dos textos bíblicos em outros universos além das interpretações doutrinárias suscitou críticas, tanto de hermeneutas que desejavam trancar a Bíblia em seu reduto hermenêutico institucional, quanto de literatos que se negaram a reconhecer o valor dos textos bíblicos para a literatura. Neste artigo, a partir de Dom Casmurro, de Machado de Assis, será analisada a importância da abordagem literária como forma de interface com os textos bíblicos e os desafios dessa empreitada, cercada de preconceitos e críticas, mas profícua para ampliar o campo de possibilidades de compreensão da Bíblia.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a estranha e complexa relação de lideranças pentecostais brancas com a Ku Klux Klan nos Estados Unidos da América, a partir da década de 1920. Para exemplificar, partiremos da trajetória e da relação com a Ku Klux Klan de Charles Fox Parham, considerado por muitos como o pai do pentecostalismo; Aimee Semple McPherson, considerada a mãe da Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular e do Angelus Temple; e William Marrion Branham, considerado “O Profeta” e pai da Igreja O Tabernáculo. Buscamos identificar o porquê da aproximação dessas lideranças com o grupo de supremacistas brancos, além da questão óbvia do racismo. Serão abordados os desejos que esses personagens tinham em relação à nação americana, como o receio de que ela estava se corrompendo com os modernismos e se entregando ao comunismo. Este tipo de pesquisa contribui para uma análise mais ampla do pentecostalismo branco nos Estados Unidos da América e como ele se diferenciou daquele que tinha como liderança máxima William Seymour e sua missão da Rua Azusa.

Ao considerarmos as possíveis relações entre o Pensamento Computacional e a Educação Matemática, sobretudo aquelas que podem vir a ser desenvolvidas por professores em suas atuações profissionais, indagamo-nos: como o Pensamento Computacional é compreendido por estudantes de graduação em matemática? A partir dessa interrogação, objetivamos discutir resultados de uma investigação sobre as características relacionadas ao Pensamento Computacional que são compreendidas e desenvolvidas por estudantes dos cursos de Licenciatura e Bacharelado em Matemática de uma universidade pública paulista. Assumimos como ideias teóricas os quatro pilares do Pensamento Computacional, quais sejam: decomposição, reconhecimento de padrões, abstração e algoritmos – Brackmann (2017). A investigação, de cunho qualitativo, foi realizada por meio de um questionário respondido por nove discentes do Curso de Licenciatura e Bacharelado em Matemática de uma universidade pública paulista. Dentre um dos resultados, podemos enfatizar que os alunos identificaram e descreveram aspectos do Pensamento Computacional relacionados, implicitamente, aos quatro pilares de Pensamento Computacional
Método Numérico Híbrido (H-DRM) para Condições de Contorno Não-Lineares
Authors: Santos Romulo Damasclin Chaves
Published: January 2025

Este artigo propõe um método numérico híbrido adaptativo baseado no Método de Reciprocidade Dual (DRM) para resolver problemas com condições de contorno não lineares e de grande escala, denominando-o de Método Híbrido Adaptativo de Reciprocidade Dual (H-DRM). O método utiliza uma combinação do DRM para tratar os termos não homogêneos, técnicas iterativas para lidar com condições de contorno não lineares e uma abordagem multiescala adaptativa para problemas de grande escala. Além disso, o H-DRM incorpora elementos finitos locais em regiões críticas do domínio. Este método visa melhorar a eficiência computacional e a precisão para problemas envolvendo geometria complexa e não linearidades no contorno, oferecendo uma solução robusta para problemas físicos e de engenharia. Demonstrações matemáticas e resultados computacionais são apresentados, validando a eficácia do método em comparação com outros métodos conhecidos, através de um processo iterativo de 7 milhões de iterações.

A presente Revisão Integrativa objetivou identificar na literatura as ações do enfermeiro para as alterações no período gestacional causadas por acidentes ofídicos. As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados LILACS, BDENF, MEDLINE/PUBMED e SciELO, nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol. Os dados foram organizados, categorizados e discutidos por meio de síntese descritiva. Ao final, foram incluídos seis artigos na revisão integrativa, dos quais 33,3% são de origem nacional. Os achados demonstram que os acidentes ofídicos em gestantes podem levar à óbito fetal e prejuízos maternos através de diversos mecanismos causados pelos efeitos do veneno aliados às mudanças fisiológicas da gestação, como Descolamento Prematuro de Placenta, contrações prematuras e anóxia fetal, e que a enfermagem se faz presente na assistência a esse acidente desde a prevenção, transpassando os primeiros socorros, até a recuperação da paciente; avaliando os sinais vitais maternos e fetais, atentando aos sinais de complicações, mantendo a hemodinâmica e administrando os tratamentos. Concluiu-se que as ações de enfermagem frente aos acidentes ofídicos em gestantes são pouco exploradas na literatura, e os estudos discorrem sobre a atuação da enfermagem no tratamento do acidente ofídico ou da gravidez, sendo raro a abordagem de ambos.

Published: January 2025

Este estudo objetivou analisar na literatura cientifica os principais fatores que contribuem para a desnutrição das crianças indígenas e averiguar os impactos na saúde dessa população no Brasil. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura narrativa, o qual foi utilizado às bases de dados Google Acadêmico e Biblioteca virtual de saúde. Foram aplicados como estratégia de busca os descritores: “Crianças”, “Povos indígenas”, “Estado nutricional” e “Desnutrição” associados com o operador booleano AND. Os critérios de inclusão para a busca dos artigos foram: estudos de últimos 10 anos de publicação, com texto completo e disponível em português. Como critérios de exclusão, os trabalhos com período de publicação anterior ao definido e com títulos que não estivessem relacionados à proposta da pesquisa. Os resultados apontam a carência de alimentos nutritivos, a falta de acesso a cuidados de saúde, a interação crescente com influências não indígenas e as mudanças nos padrões alimentares tradicionais como desencadeante da desnutrição das crianças indígenas, e esses fatores trazem como consequência os problemas nutricionais, doenças parasitárias, anemia, diarreia, doenças infecciosas, entre outras comorbidades. Desse modo, faz-se necessário adotar medidas para evitar o desmatamento ambiental e investir em políticas públicas com participação de profissionais de saúde, a fim de evitar a migração dos povos, para as áreas urbanas e reduzir o número de crianças desnutridas.

Published: January 2025

Objetiva-se discutir sobre a abordagem interprofissional no cuidado aos pacientes em cuidados paliativos. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura. Foram realizadas buscas on-line por periódicos, nos meses de maio e junho de 2024, na BVS, no SciELO e na PubMed. As buscas foram sistematizadas por meio da pergunta PICo; após implementação dos critérios de elegibilidade oito artigos foram selecionados para compor este estudo. A revisão de literatura que emergiu dos estudos é constituída pelos seguintes temas: interprofissionalidade nos cuidados paliativos: estratégias para um atendimento integral e barreiras e desafios nos cuidados paliativos: explorando limitações e soluções para uma assistência integral. Na prática dos cuidados paliativos, a interprofissionalidade emerge como estratégia vital para um atendimento integral, superando as barreiras e desafios através da exploração das limitações, buscando sempre soluções que promovam uma assistência verdadeiramente abrangente e humanizada. Evidencia-se a necessidade premente do estabelecimento de processos educativos em saúde, com abordagem direta sobre a comunicação entre os membros da equipe interdisciplinar. Além disso, destaca-se a importância de melhorar os recursos institucionais para garantir a prestação de cuidados de alta qualidade. Esses desafios evidenciam que, embora os benefícios da abordagem interdisciplinar sejam evidentes, sua implementação prática requer um esforço coordenado.

The role of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (iRAS) in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression remains unclear. In this study, we generated mice with renal tubule-specific deletion of angiotensinogen (Agt; RT-Agt-/-) in both Akita and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mouse model of diabetes. Both Akita RT-Agt-/- and STZ-RT-Agt-/- mice exhibited significant attenuation of glomerular hyperfiltration, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, glomerulomegaly and tubular injury. Urinary Agt, Angiotensin II (Ang II) and oxidative stress were decreased in Akita RT-Agt-/- mice cf. Akita mice. Moreover, thickened glomerular basement membranes, podocyte foot process effacement and podocyte loss were ameliorated in Akita RT-Agt-/- mice cf. Akita mice. Mechanistically, intra-vital microscopy revealed that attenuation of glomerular hyperfiltration in Akita RT-Agt-/- mice was mediated via efferent arteriole (EA) vasodilation and afferent arteriole (AA) vasoconstriction. The AA vasoconstriction was regulated, at least partially, through tubulo-glomerular feedback by down-regulation of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) expression in renal proximal tubules. The renal protective effect of iRAS inactivation in Akita RT-Agt-/- mice was more evident than in Akita mice treated with RAS blockers. In vitro, Ang II stimulated, losartan and apocynin inhibited SGLT2 expression in immortalized human renal proximal tubular cells. These findings suggest targeting the iRAS may constitute effective treatment for DKD.
