Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Smartphones could enhance access to effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Users may frequently and flexibly access bite-size CBT content on personal devices, review and practice skills, and thereby achieve better outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

We explored the distribution of actual interactions participants had with therapeutic content in a trial of smartphone CBT for depression and whether interactions were within assigned treatment modules or revisits to prior module content (ie, between-module interactions).

METHODS

We examined the association between the number of within- and between-module interactions and baseline and end-of-treatment symptom severity during an 8-week, single-arm open trial of a therapist-guided CBT for depression mobile health app.

RESULTS

Interactions were more frequent early in treatment and modestly declined in later stages. Within modules, most participants consistently made more interactions than required to progress to the next module and tended to return to all types of content rather than focus on 1 skill. By contrast, only 15 of 26 participants ever revisited prior module content (median number of revisits=1, mode=0, IQR 0-4). More revisits were associated with more severe end-of-treatment symptom severity after controlling for pretreatment symptom severity (P<.05).

CONCLUSIONS

The results suggest that the frequency of use is an insufficient metric of engagement, lacking the nuance of what users are engaging with and when during treatment. This lens is essential for developing personalized recommendations and yielding better treatment outcomes.

Pathways to Sustainable Health Care Development: Study on the Carbon Reduction Potential of Telemedicine in China (Preprint)
Authors: Li Zhi , Xiang Lianrui , Ning Jing , Li Wenbo , Huang Yong , Xiao Xue
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Carbon emissions are a global concern due to their significant greenhouse effect. The health care sector’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must be controlled. Telemedicine in China continued to grow between 2020 and 2022, offering a promising solution for reducing carbon emissions in the country’s health sector.

OBJECTIVE

This study explores the potential of telemedicine for reducing GHG emissions and saving energy through a life cycle assessment.

METHODS

This study used the Chinese Environmentally Extended Input-Output database, which is based on input-output models, to quantify the GHG emissions and energy consumption associated with care outpatient and telemedicine from a life cycle perspective. Data collected from the West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University between 2020 and 2022 were incorporated into the analyses.

RESULTS

The findings indicated that telemedicine could reduce GHG emissions by 36 tCO2e. The GHG emissions per telemedicine session were only 19.14 kgCO2e and are expected to decrease from 2025 to 2030. Replacing in-person treatments with telemedicine can lead to an average reduction of 85.51 kgCO2e emissions.

CONCLUSIONS

In the future, the widespread adoption of telemedicine could help achieve carbon neutrality in the health care sector. Telemedicine is crucial for establishing the sustainable development of the health care sector.
Characterizing Experiences With Hikikomori Syndrome on Twitter Among Japanese-Language Users: Qualitative Infodemiology Content Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Uchiyama Misa Ashley , Bekki Hirofumi , McMann Tiana , Li Zhuoran , Mackey Tim
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Hikikomori syndrome is a form of severe social withdrawal prevalent in Japan but is also a worldwide psychiatric issue. Twitter (subsequently rebranded X) offers valuable insights into personal experiences with mental health conditions, particularly among isolated individuals or hard-to-reach populations.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to examine trends in firsthand and secondhand experiences reported on Twitter between 2021 and 2023 in the Japanese language.

METHODS

Tweets were collected using the Twitter academic research application programming interface filtered for the following keywords: “#引きこもり,” “#ひきこもり,” “#hikikomori,” “#ニート,” “#脱ひきこもり,” “#不登校,” and “#自宅警備員.” The Bidirectional Encoder Representations From Transformers language model was used to analyze all Japanese-language posts collected. Themes and subthemes were then inductively coded for in-depth exploration of topic clusters relevant to first- and secondhand experiences with hikikomori syndrome.

RESULTS

We collected 2,018,822 tweets, which were narrowed down to 379,265 (18.79%) tweets in Japanese from January 2021 to January 2023. After examining the topic clusters output by the Bidirectional Encoder Representations From Transformers model, 4 topics were determined to be relevant to the study aims. A total of 400 of the most highly interacted with tweets from these topic clusters were manually annotated for inclusion and exclusion, of which 148 (37%) tweets from 89 unique users were identified as relevant to hikikomori experiences. Of these 148 relevant tweets, 71 (48%) were identified as firsthand accounts, and 77 (52%) were identified as secondhand accounts. Within firsthand reports, the themes identified included seeking social support, personal anecdotes, debunking misconceptions, and emotional ranting. Within secondhand reports, themes included seeking social support, personal anecdotes, seeking and giving advice, and advocacy against the negative stigma of hikikomori.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides new insights into experiences reported by web-based users regarding hikikomori syndrome specific to Japanese-speaking populations. Although not yet found in diagnostic manuals classifying mental disorders, the rise of web-based lifestyles as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the importance of discussions regarding hikikomori syndrome in web-based spaces. The results indicate that social media platforms may represent a web-based space for those experiencing hikikomori syndrome to engage in social interaction, advocacy against stigmatization, and participation in a community that can be maintained through a web-based barrier and minimized sense of social anxiety.
Navigating the Digital Landscape: A Scoping Review of Mental Health App Integration into Clinical Practice (Preprint)
Authors: Rickard Nikki S. , Kurt Perin , Meade Tanya
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

The global demand for mental health services has significantly increased over the past decade, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital resources, particularly smartphone apps, offer a flexible and economical means of addressing the research-to-practice gap in mental health care. Clinicians play a crucial role in integrating these apps into mental health care, with guided digital interventions generally considered more effective than standalone apps.

OBJECTIVE

This scoping review explores mental health practitioners' perspectives on integrating smartphone apps into clinical practice. We aks, “What is known about how mental health practitioners view the integration of smartphone apps into their practice?” Further, this scoping review explored the factors that might influence integration of smartphone apps into practice such as practitioner and client characteristics, app design and functionality and practitioner views.

METHODS

A systematic search of three databases yielded 23 studies published between 2018-2023, involving 1,067 practitioners across various mental health disciplines, most predominantly psychologists and psychiatrists. Data were collected on practitioner and client characteristics, app functionality, and factors deemed important or influencing practitioners’ opinions aboutapp integration.

RESULTS

The included studies were most likely to explore use of apps outside the clinical session, and focussed on self-management apps for mental health monitoring, wellbeing promotion and assessment. Fewer studies explored use of apps within session, or practitioner-guided apps. Practitioners prioritized app features aligned with the American Psychological Association's evaluation criteria, with most studies valuing interoperability, security and privacy, and engagement.

CONCLUSIONS

While practitioners recognise the potential of apps in mental health care, integration into clinical practice remains limited. The review highlights the need for further research on practical implementation, clinical effectiveness, and practitioner training to facilitate the transition from potential to actual use of apps in mental health care settings. Recommendations include evaluating effectiveness of app integration through experimental studies and developing training modules to develop practitioners' digital competencies and confidence in app utilization.

Increasing the growth and yield of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) plants by applying chicken manure and PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) on ultisols
Authors: Suminarti Nur Edy , Aini Nurul , Aldiyansyah Nando , Prasetianto Musofan
Published: February 2025

The land's low physical and chemical carrying capacity has impacted the low productivity of eggplant plants grown in ultisol soil. Therefore, using chicken manure and PGPR is highly recommended to increase plant productivity. This research aims to determine the appropriate chicken manure dosage and PGPR concentration for cultivating eggplant plants on this land. The experiment used a split-plot design by placing chicken manure doses in the main plot: (0%, 50%, and 100%) of the recommended dose. PGPR concentrations were placed in sub-plots: (without PGPR, 15 ml PGPR/L of water, and 30 ml PGPR/L of water). The experiment was repeated three times. F test at 5% is used to determine the existence of interactions or significant effect of treatment. Differences between treatments were considered Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) value at 5%. The study showed no significant interaction between chicken manure and PGPR on all observed growth and harvest parameters. However, each factor had a significant effect on growth observations: fresh root weight/plant, leaf area, and total dry weight of plants, and yield observations: fresh weight of fruit consumed/harvest plot and fresh weight of fruit consumed/ha. Application of 100% chicken manure can increase the fresh weight of eggplant fruit/ha by 7.27 t ha-1 (38.55%) and 18.47 t ha-1 (233.72%) from 50% and 0% chicken manure. In the PGPR treatment, to get a fresh weight of the maximum consumption fruit of 19.62 tons ha-1 requires the optimum PGPR concentration of 3.11 ml/ L water.
Dimensions of Sin in Graham Greene’s The Third Man
Authors: Rana Dharmendra Kumar
Published: February 2025

The term 'sin' not only pertains to theology and religion but also holds significant relevance in the lives of individuals. It influences their morale and behavior throughout society. Whether we are aware of the concept of sin or not, it is the foundation of our moral disposition. The impact of sin on one's life is undeniable. It significantly impacts our lives. Like the state law, its consequences are sometimes not readily apparent, but they are highly powerful. As an illustration, we can see that, despite the fact that it is officially forbidden to throw trash in public areas or monuments, individuals consistently disregard this law. However, no rules exist in any temple or church, despite the fact that people do not put waste there. It is because of a sense of sin. It is because of a sense of sin. And it will be determined what acts come under this word. To comprehend the essence of sin, it is essential to ascertain its definition and explore its dimensions. This paper will analyze how these qualities appear through the characters in Graham Greene's novel The Third Man.
Interpretation of the Thought of "Harmony between Man and Nature (HBMN)" in the Context of Sustainable Development
Authors: Cheng Yuting
Published: February 2025

The idea of "harmony between man and nature (HBMN)" has had rich cultural connotations since ancient times, and its specific meaning has also changed with the development of the times. The idea of heaven and man first originated in the pre-Qin period, and it was only after the outbreak of the global ecological crisis that foreign countries noticed this idea. However, some Western ecologists' interpretation of HBMN does not understand the true meaning of his thought but instead has a narrow utilitarian interpretation. Through literature discussion, this article interprets the ideological connotations of domestic and foreign scholars. Generally speaking, it is believed that the idea of HBMN is inextricably linked to the concept of sustainable development (SD). We should combine the strengths of both parties and complement each other's shortcomings so that traditional concepts can be reborn in today's era.

Authors: Moktar Amal , S. Amer Magdy , E. Hassan Aza , Ateya Ahmed , Elashry Eman
Published: February 2025

This study investigated the effects of thiamethoxam (TMX), a neonicotinoid insecticide, on liver health in chickens and examined whether artichoke extract (ART) could offer protection. Forty-eight healthy chicks were divided into four groups: a control group given saline, a TMX group given TMX, a TMX + ART group given both TMX and ART and a protective ART + TMX group given ART first, then TMX. The results showed that artichoke extract significantly improved blood parameters and reduced liver damage markers compared to the TMX group. It also decreased oxidative stress and boosted antioxidant defenses. Gene expression analysis revealed that ART downregulated inflammatory markers in the liver. Histological examination confirmed that artichoke extract helped restore normal liver structure. Overall, artichoke extract effectively mitigated TMX-induced liver damage by reducing oxidative stress and improving biochemical and antioxidant markers.

Mint cultivation requires heavy use of chemical pesticides to manage pathogens and insect pests. To develop a biological alternative to these pesticides, we investigated the potential of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to stimulate the natural defense mechanisms of mint, potentially inducing systemic acquired resistance. In the present study, we utilized a bacterial consortium comprising four PGPR strains, Sphingobacterium suaeda, Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus cereus and Bacillus pumilus, to promote mint growth and activate natural defense mechanisms. The defense mechanisms of mint were analyzed by measuring phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity at both the root and aerial levels, a key enzyme in phenolic and lignin metabolism, along with the levels of phenolic compounds and lignin. The results showed that the PGPR consortium substantially boosted mint growth, leading to a 28% increase in the number of leaves, a 25% increase in shoot height, a 34% improvement in aerial dry biomass, and an 80% increase in root biomass. Similarly, the PGPR consortium stimulated PAL activity and increased the levels of phenolic compounds and lignin in both the roots and shoots. The stimulation of these remote defense mechanisms at the shoot level evokes a systemic defense reaction known as the expression of systemic acquired resistance in plants. These results present promising opportunities for improving the bioprotection of mint against pathogens.

Published: February 2025

Background: Women with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) may experience several symptoms exacerbated by successive treatments. There is however, a lack of knowledge of the most important symptoms and how these may affect daily life function. This study aims to elucidate the quality of life (QoL), including both symptoms and daily life functions, among mBC women undergoing varied treatments.
Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional electronic questionnaire study enrolling mBC women (≥ stage III) receiving medical cancer treatment through September–December 2023. QoL, symptoms, and daily life function were measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and the breast cancer module (BR45). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL), defined by the EORTC, covers the subjective perceptions of the positive and negative aspects of cancer patients’ symptoms, including physical, emotional, social, and cognitive functions. We examined associations between QoL, treatment line and therapy types, and estimated odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: Of 359 eligible participants, 111 responded (30.9%). At study commencement, 90.9% of the participants received at least one type of systemic treatment, with 16.2% undergoing chemotherapy, 61.3% anti-hormonal treatment, and 66.6% targeted cancer treatment. QLQ-C30 sum scores were highest in women receiving anti-hormonal treatment (80.7, interquartile range [IQR]: 17.6), followed by targeted cancer treatment (78.8, IQR: 18.4), and lowest with chemotherapy (77.1, IQR: 24.8). Quality of life decreased with subsequent treatment lines (first line: 80.3, IQR: 20.7, fourth line: 67.4, IQR: 11.3). No significant differences were found in the functions or in the individual symptoms according to monotherapy type.
Interpretation: Women with mBC experience a substantial symptom burden and reduced functioning, and their QoL differs with successive lines of treatment. This underlines that women living with mBC need support and effective symptom management to maintain QoL.
Falling rates but projected rising numbers of fractures in elderly Norwegians: a study of fracture rates in the Norwegian patient registry from 2010 to 2021, extrapolated to 2041
Authors: Andvig Jørgen , Johnsen Lars G , Nilsen Sara M , Bjørnelv Gudrun W , Asheim Andreas
Published: February 2025

Purpose: Our aim was to calculate rates of major fractures by fracture location in elderly Norwegians over the years 2010 to 2021 and thereby estimate the volume of fractures in this population by 2041.Methods: We identified fractures in persons aged 65 years and over from the Norwegian Patient Registry. We summarized age- and sex-specific numbers of fractures and incidence rates by fracture location. Extrapolating adjusted incidence rates combined with population projections from Statistics Norway, we estimated the expected numbers of fracture cases for the following 20 years.Results: The total number of major fractures rose from 22,581 in 2010 to 27,596 in 2021. While the number of hip fractures was relatively stable (8,164 to 8,194 over the period), there were substantial increases in the number of fractures in the upper extremities, spine and pelvis, and lower extremities. Annual changes in incidence rates adjusted for age and sex were 0.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.4–0.7), 1.2% (CI 0.9–1.4), 0.4% (CI 0.1–0.7), and –1.9% (CI –2.0 to –1.7) for upper extremity, spine and pelvis, lower extremity, and hip respectively. Extrapolating trends in incidence rates, we estimate a 64% (95% prediction interval 48–70) overall increase in the number of major fractures by 2041 compared with 2021, primarily due to the aging of the population.Conclusion: Incidence rates of hip fractures decreased over the period, while rates of other major fractures increased. We can expect a substantial increase in the number of fractures over the coming years, primarily due to the expected aging of the population.
Respuesta a una crítica política y a un ataque personal contra un Informe de las Naciones Unidas que presenta nueva evidencia sobre la prostitución como causa y consecuencia de la violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas
Authors:   United Nations, Alsalem Reem
Published: February 2025

Reem Alsalem, Relatora Especial de las Naciones Unidas sobre la violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas, sus causas y consecuencias, responde a las acusaciones falsas y infundadas y a los ataques personales sobre su informe sobre Prostitución y Violencia contra la Mujer, presentado ante la 56ª sesión del Consejo de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas en Ginebra, 2024. Presenté nueva evidencia sobre la relación entre la violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas y la prostitución. Utilizando el derecho de los derechos humanos, el informe describe la prostitución como un sistema de abuso, explotación y violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas. El objetivo del informe es aclarar conceptos y terminología, y describir las causas y consecuencias de la prostitución. El éxito del informe radica en romper la dominación de la narrativa unilateral que ha sido en gran medida impulsada por poderosos lobbies y grupos de interés que se benefician de la explotación y el abuso del cuerpo de las mujeres y buscan legitimarla. Cuando se da a las opiniones de las mujeres prostituidas la importancia que merecen, cuando se deja que los datos hablen por sí mismos, queda claro que la prostitución es un sistema de violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas.
Characterizing Fracture Distribution by Sex, Age, and Body Region: Insights from a Regional Population Study
Authors: BC Martin , JP Alvarenga , M Sander
Published: February 2025

This Rio Grande Valley region of South Texas is a unique, medically underserved region. We conducted this study to further the
knowledge of orthopedics in this community and determine if certain body regions, based on sex and age, were at increased
risk for fracture in this population. We hypothesized that females would have increased fracture frequency at older ages while
males would have increased fracture frequency at younger ages. We also hypothesized that femur and forearm fractures
would be increased in females compared to males.
This study was a retrospective chart review from January 1, 2018, to September 4, 2024. We analyzed medical charts of
individuals who sustained fractures of various regions of the body. Various statistical tests were utilized to analyze the data.
Female’s most frequent fracture site is the forearm (27%). Males’ most frequent fracture site is the hand (30%). Females had a
bimodal distribution, one peak in early childhood and another peak in older ages. The age distribution in males was unimodal
and more uniform with a prominent peak occurring in early childhood. The most frequent co-occurrences were in hand and
femur, with 432 cases (5%).
These findings suggest that individuals should be mindful and possibly take precautions to prevent fractures in particular body
regions based on the age and sex of individuals. Physicians and other healthcare workers should also keep this information in
mind when evaluating, informing, and treating patients, especially those with bone conditions or those at higher risk of bone
injury

This paper Mercury in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is a major environmental and health issue. Since mercury in the environment is persistent, mapping and investigating mercury in abandoned ASGM areas is urgent to mitigate and minimize mercury pollution. This research was conducted to map and explore the presence of mercury in abandoned ASGM in Kalirejo Village, Kulon Progo District of Yogyakarta. Field exploration has shown that the abandoned ASGM were in a riverside area, close to settlement, surrounded by farming and plantations. Mercury analysis using the thermal decomposition method showed that four of five sediment samples contained Hg above 0.3 mg/kg, which indicated that the sediments at the four sampling points were contaminated. Mercury analysis using ICP OES spectrometry showed that three of six surface water samples contained Hg above 0.005 mg/L, indicating that Hg contaminated the surface waters at the three sampling points. Because the abandoned ASGM is close to residential areas, the riverside, and surrounded by community farming and plantation areas, residents may be exposed to mercury.
