Background

Improvements in life expectancy and quality of life for HIV-positive women coupled with reduced vertical transmission will likely lead numerous HIV-positive women to consider becoming pregnant. In order to clarify the demand, and aid with appropriate health services planning for this population, our study aims to assess the fertility desires and intentions of HIV-positive women of reproductive age living in Ontario, Canada.

Methodology/Principal Findings

A cross-sectional study with recruitment stratified to match the geographic distribution of HIV-positive women of reproductive age (18–52) living in Ontario was carried out. Women were recruited from 38 sites between October 2007 and April 2009 and invited to complete a 189-item self-administered survey entitled “The HIV Pregnancy Planning Questionnaire” designed to assess fertility desires, intentions and actions. Logistic regression models were fit to calculate unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios of significant predictors of fertility intentions. The median age of the 490 participating HIV-positive women was 38 (IQR, 32–43) and 61%, 52%, 47% and 74% were born outside of Canada, living in Toronto, of African ethnicity and currently on antiretroviral therapy, respectively. Of total respondents, 69% (95% CI, 64%–73%) desired to give birth and 57% (95% CI, 53%–62%) intended to give birth in the future. In the multivariable model, the significant predictors of fertility intentions were: younger age (age<40) (p<0.0001), African ethnicity (p<0.0001), living in Toronto (p = 0.002), and a lower number of lifetime births (p = 0.02).

Conclusions/Significance

The proportions of HIV-positive women of reproductive age living in Ontario desiring and intending pregnancy were higher than reported in earlier North American studies. Proportions were more similar to those reported from African populations. Healthcare providers and policy makers need to consider increasing services and support for pregnancy planning for HIV-positive women. This may be particularly significant in jurisdictions with high levels of African immigration.
Evidence Informing the Intersection of HIV, Aging and Health: A Scoping Review

Published: April 2024

The growing number of people over age 50 with HIV requires research, policy, and practice to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the health consequences of HIV in older individuals. We conducted a scoping review of peer-reviewed and grey literature published since 1996 to explore the impacts of aging on the health of older people with HIV (50 years or older). We included 209 studies (two systematic reviews, 174 quantitative studies, 28 qualitative studies, and five mixed methods studies). Health topics addressed include: HIV- and aging-related comorbidities, disease progression, neurocognitive functioning, mental health conditions, psychological well-being, social supports, stigma, antiretroviral adherence, health care utilization/access, and sexual risk behaviour. We recommend that future research takes a broader view of health, looks at aging from a strength-based perspective and examines the issue using diverse perspectives (i.e., geographic location, multiple methods, time of diagnosis, time on antiretroviral therapy (ART), demographic diversity).
Examining the Traits-Desires-Intentions-Behavior (TDIB) Model for Fertility Planning in Women Living with HIV in Ontario, Canada
Authors: Wagner Anne C. , Ivanova Elena L. , Hart Trevor , R. Loutfy Mona
Published: April 2024

The objective of this study was to determine the predictors of fertility behavior (i.e., trying to become pregnant) in a large representative sample of women living with HIV of reproductive age in Ontario, Canada. The Traits-Desires-Intentions-Behavior model was used to examine the key predictors of reproductive decision making and behavior. A total of 320 women living with HIV were included in the current analysis. The women living with HIV were between the ages of 18 and 52 (mean=37.23, SD=7.53), 56.4% had at least one child living in the home, over 40% identified as being of African ethnicity, and the average time since HIV diagnosis was 10.49 years (SD=5.71). In hierarchical multilevel analysis, perceived family support for trying to become pregnant, living in a large metropolitan city (i.e., Toronto), women's fertility desires, and fertility intentions were associated with fertility behavior (χ(2)9=59.97, p<0.001). As only 10.6% of participants reported engaging in fertility-related behavior, while 57.5% intended a pregnancy in the future, identifying barriers to fertility and discrepancies between intentions and behaviors can support policy programs and assist health care providers to better facilitate the fertility goals of women living with HIV.

Published: April 2024

Background: Even in the presence of promising biomedical treatment as prevention, HIV incidence among men who have sex with men has not always decreased. Counseling interventions, therefore, continue to play an important role in reducing HIV sexual transmission behaviors among gay and bisexual men and other men who have sex with men. The present study evaluated effects of a small-group counseling intervention on psychosocial outcomes and HIV sexual risk behavior.

Method: HIV-positive (HIV+) peer counselors administered seven 2-hour counseling sessions to groups of 5 to 8 HIV+ gay and bisexual men. The intervention employed information provision, motivational interviewing, and behavioral skills building to reduce sexual transmission risk behaviors.

Results: There was a significant reduction in condomless anal sex (CAS) with HIV-negative and unknown HIV-status partners, from 50.0% at baseline to 28.9% of the sample at 3-month follow-up. Findings were robust even when controlling for whether the participant had an undetectable viral load at baseline. Significant reductions were also found in the two secondary psychosocial outcomes, loneliness and sexual compulsivity.

Conclusions: The findings provide preliminary evidence that this intervention may offer an efficient way of concurrently reducing CAS and mental health problems, such as sexual compulsivity and loneliness, for HIV+ gay and bisexual men.

Published: April 2024

Objectives: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with daily oral tenofovir/emtricitabine dramatically reduces HIV risk in men who have sex with men (MSM). However, uptake is slow worldwide.

Methods: We administered anonymous cross-sectional questionnaires to MSM presenting for anonymous HIV testing at a Toronto sexual health clinic at four successive time points during the period 2013-2016. We assessed trends in PrEP awareness, acceptability, and use over time using the Cochran-Armitage Trend Test, and identified barriers to using PrEP by constructing "PrEP cascades" using 2016 data. We assumed that to use PrEP, MSM must (a) be at risk for HIV, (b) be at objectively high risk (HIRI-MSM score ≥ 10), (c) perceive themselves to be at medium-to-high risk, (d) be aware of PrEP, (e) be willing to use PrEP, (f) have a family doctor, (g) be comfortable discussing sexual health with that doctor, and (h) have drug coverage/be willing to pay out of pocket.

Results: MSM participants were mostly white (54-59.5%), with median age 31 years (IQR = 26-38). PrEP awareness and use increased significantly over time (both p < 0.0001), reaching 91.3% and 5.0%, respectively, in the most recent wave. Willingness to use PrEP rose to 56.5%, but this increase did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.06). The full cascade, ABCDEFGH, suggested few could readily use PrEP under current conditions (11/400 = 2.8%). The largest barriers, in descending order, were low self-perceived HIV risk, unwillingness to use PrEP, and access to PrEP providers.

Conclusion: To maximize its potential public health benefits, PrEP scale-up strategies must address self-perceived HIV risk and increase access to PrEP providers.
A tale of two epidemics: gay men’s mental health and the biomedicalisation of HIV prevention and care in Toronto

Published: April 2024

There is mounting urgency regarding the mental health of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM). We examined how GBM are understanding the relationship between HIV and their mental health given the increasing biomedicalisation of HIV prevention and care. Our Grounded Theory analysis derived from qualitative interviews with 24 GBM living in Toronto, Canada, including both HIV-negative and HIV-positive men. Participants understood biomedical advances, such as undetectable viral load and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), as providing some relief from HIV-related distress. However, they offered ambivalent perspectives on the biomedicalisation of HIV. Some considered non-HIV-specific stressors (e.g. unemployment, racial discrimination) more significant than HIV-related concerns. These men expressed HIV-related distress as being under control due to biomedical advances or as always negligible when compared to non-HIV-specific stressors. Others emphasised the ongoing mental health implications of HIV (e.g. enduring risk and stigma). We describe a tension between optimistic responses to biomedicine's ability to ease the psychosocial burdens associated with HIV and the inability for biomedicine to address the social and economic determinants driving the dual epidemics of HIV and mental distress amongst GBM. We argue for more socio-material analysis over further sexual behavioural analysis of GBM mental health disparities.
Mental health and structural harm: a qualitative study of sexual minority men’s experiences of mental healthcare in Toronto, Canada

Published: April 2024

Compared to the general population, sexual minority men report poorer mental health outcomes and higher mental healthcare utilisation. However, they also report more unmet mental health needs. To better understand this phenomenon, we conducted qualitative interviews with 24 sexual minority men to explore the structural factors shaping their encounters with mental healthcare in Toronto, Canada. Interviews were analysed using grounded theory. Many participants struggled to access mental healthcare and felt more marginalised and distressed because of two interrelated sets of barriers. The first were general barriers, hurdles to mental healthcare not exclusive to sexual minorities. These included financial and logistical obstacles, the prominence of psychiatry and the biomedical model, and unsatisfactory provider encounters. The second were sexual minority barriers, obstacles explicitly rooted in heterosexism and homophobia sometimes intersecting with other forms of marginality. These included experiencing discrimination and distrust, and limited sexual minority affirming options. Discussions of general barriers outweighed those of sexual minority barriers, demonstrating the health consequences of structural harms in the absence of overt structural stigma. Healthcare inaccessibility, income insecurity and the high cost of living are fostering poor mental health among sexual minority men. Research must consider the upstream policy changes necessary to counteract these harms.

Published: April 2024

Background: Starting in 2015/16, most Canadian provinces introduced publicly-funded human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programs for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) aged ≤ 26 years. We estimated 12-month changes in HPV vaccine coverage among community-recruited GBM from 2017 to 2021 and identified baseline factors associated with vaccine initiation (≥1 dose) or series completion (3 doses) among participants who were unvaccinated or partially vaccinated at baseline.

Methods: We recruited sexually-active GBM aged ≥ 16 years in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, Canada, from 02/2017 to 08/2019 and followed them over a median of 12 months (interquartile range = 12–13 months). We calculated the proportion who initiated vaccination (≥1 dose) or completed the series (3 doses) by 12-month follow-up. Analyses were stratified by city and age-eligibility for the publicly-funded programs at baseline (≤26 years or > 26 years). We used multivariable logistic regression to identify baseline factors associated with self-reported incident vaccine initiation or series completion.

Results: Among 165 unvaccinated participants aged ≤ 26 years at baseline, incident vaccine initiation (≥1 dose) during follow-up was 24.1% in Montreal, 33.3% in Toronto, and 38.9% in Vancouver. Among 1,059 unvaccinated participants aged > 26 years, incident vaccine initiation was 3.4%, 8.9%, and 10.9%, respectively. Higher education and trying to access pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV were associated with incident vaccination among those aged ≤ 26 years, while younger age, residing in Vancouver (vs. Montreal), being diagnosed with anogenital warts, having both government and private extended medical insurance, and being vaccinated against influenza were associated with incident vaccination among those aged > 26 years.

Conclusions: We observed substantial gains in HPV vaccine coverage among young GBM within 5 + years of targeted program implementation, but gaps remain, particularly among older men who are ineligible for publicly-funded programs. Findings suggest the need for expanded public funding or insurance coverage for HPV vaccines.

Among sexual minority men, gay, bisexual, and queer men (GBQM) may experience differences in terms of their sense of belonging to a sexual minority community (community connectedness), outness about their sexual identity, and their experiences of proximal and distal sexuality-based stressors. Although group membership can confer unique benefits to members of marginalized groups, including GBQM, these benefits are likely unequal across the range of identity groups included in this acronym. We analyzed data from 1,827 human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV)-negative cisgender men living in Canada to examine how three different sexual identities, gay, bisexual, and queer, are associated with minority stress, social variables, and outness. Compared with gay and bisexual men, queer men scored lower on measures of identity concealment and internalized homonegativity, were more open about their sexuality in their social networks and reported higher community connectedness. Compared with queer and gay men, bisexual men reported higher rates of identity concealment and internalized homonegativity, were less open about their sexuality and reported less perceived social support and lower community connectedness. Although bisexual men overall also reported less discrimination, bisexual identity moderated the association between distal stress and proximal stress, such that bisexual men who experienced more distal stress were particularly sensitive to its impact and experienced higher proximal stress. Future research with sexual minority men should attend to identity diversity within this group, as minority stressors, social variables, and outness differ between GBQM.

The Awkward Homecoming of Maria Monk
Authors: Pass Forrest
Published: April 2024

Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk (1836) is perhaps Canada's most scandalous literary export. However, only a few editions of the scurrilous anti-Catholic fabrication have been published in its purported author's country of origin. A mysterious undated edition, “published for the trade” in Toronto, is probably the most widely circulated Canadian printing. Based on a close investigation of the Toronto edition's physical characteristics—the stereotype plates used to print it, the illustrations, and the mismatched printer's ornaments appearing on certain pages—as well as the ownership history of one copy and the context of the book's legal status in Canada, this article argues that the Toronto edition is evidence of an anonymous publisher's strategies to evade customs censorship. It suggests that these strategies influenced how Canadian readers might have engaged with Awful Disclosures, highlighting the tension between obscenity and anti-Catholicism that underlays the book’s reception among readers, printers, and censors.
Open access and open licensing by Russian journals
Authors: Yanochkina Y. V.
Published: April 2024

In the circumstances of transforming institution of intellectual property, the journals have to find balance between the open science initiatives and legal regulations. The purpose of the study is to define whether Russian academic journals conform to open science initiatives and, in particular, to the open access principles and open licensing terms. The author discusses the findings of the study encompassing 450 journals in the Russian Science Citation Index database (as of December 1, 2022) using the following criteria: journal allocation site, archive depth, access principle, license terms and the website section on licensing terms. Based on the obtained data systematization and analysis, the trends for Russian academic journals are formulated: in general, they are ready for introducing open access principles. By choosing open licensing, most of the Russian academic journals are ready to offer maximum freedom in using their publications. The author developed several recommendations for the journals as the sites of scientific data exchange, and for the researchers as the users, generators and disseminators of these data.
The network of sci-tech libraries as the foundation of the national system of sci-tech information: The history, status, and prospects
Authors: Shrayberg Y. L. , Moseeva D. S. , Sumro N. A.
Published: April 2024

The authors discuss the sci-tech libraries in historical aspect; these libraries make the key element of the national system of sci-tech information and information services and support national science and technology. They follow the dynamics of building the network of research institutions and special sci-tech libraries that replaced technical, factory and company libraries. The role of the USSR State Public Library for Science and Technology (USSR SPLS&T) is highlighted: during the Soviet era it was the country’s head sci-tech library, the main methodological center for technological libraries, interdepartmental coordinator of user services, collection development, interlibrary loan, and translation of scitech literature. The authors emphasize the importance of the national regulation of sci-tech library and information services, and their development through building the state system of sci-tech information. The authors also examine the goals of t he S PLS&T U SSR a s a research institution in the area of library and bibliographic studies; SPLS&T supported the unity of efforts within the system. The authors analyze the implementation of the national sci-tech program; within the framework of the program, the RNPLS&T acts as the head agency of the Automated System of the Russian Union Catalog in science and technology and provides for interaction of sci-tech library network and sci-tech information institutions in using the databases by associated members. The authors substantiate the need for the new national system of sci-tech information based on the laws and regulations adopted in the recent decades. They analyze the results of 2023 All-Russian monitoring of sci-tech libraries and sci-tech information centers; evaluate the capacities of sci-tech libraries for supporting corporate projects, scitech professionals and researchers.
The book typology in modern studies: responding to Y. V. Nesterovich’s article “Reviewing the “book” term explication in the context of documentology” (Scientific and technical libraries. 2022. No. 7, pp. 129–147)
Authors: Deaner E. V.
Published: April 2024

The author substantiates the application of transdisciplinary approach to the book typology studies. While emphasizing the relevancy of these studies, she reviews the theoretical aspects of the book definition and typological features as they appear in the article by Yury V. Nesterovich “Reviewing the “book” term explication in the context of documentology”. The analysis makes the author convinced that the book typological characteristics have to be seen as the theoretical foundation for grouping the information objects of the book type rather than as the basis for classifying the items within this type structure. In this context, the “book’ term has to be formulated from metatheoretical perspective, along with the documentological and categorical approaches, and adopted to the present information space. Such analysis enables to study the book as a complex fuzzy system and to look at the book typology from the perspective of fuzzy logics theory The author emphasizes transdisciplinary character of these studies and cites some results of fuzzy logic application to e-book analysis. She concludes on the good perspectives for transdisciplinary strategies in the book typology studies.
High mass function ellipsoidal variables in the Gaia Focused Product Release: searching for black hole candidates in the binary zoo
Authors: Rowan Dominick M. , Thompson Todd A. , Jayasinghe Tharindu , Kochanek Christopher S. , Stanek Krzysztof Z.
Published: April 2024

The recent Gaia Focused Product Release contains radial velocity time-series for more than 9,000 Gaia long-period photometric variables. Here we search for binary systems with large radial velocity amplitudes to identify candidates with massive, unseen companions. Eight targets have binary mass function f(M)>1M⊙, three of which are eclipsing binaries. The remaining five show evidence of ellipsoidal modulations. We fit spectroscopic orbit models to the Gaia radial velocities, and fit the spectral energy distributions of three targets. For the two systems most likely to host dark companions, J0946 and J1640, we use PHOEBE to fit the ASAS-SN light curves and Gaia radial velocities. The derived companion masses are >3M⊙, but the high Galactic dust extinctions towards these objects limit our ability to rule out main sequence companions or subgiants hotter than the photometric primaries. These systems are similar to other stellar-mass black hole impostors, notably the Unicorn (V723 Mon) and the Giraffe (2M04123153+6738486). While it is possible that J1640 and J0946 are similar examples of stripped giant star binaries, high-resolution spectra can be used to determine the nature of their companions.

Anti-CD117 monoclonal antibody (mAb) agents have emerged as exciting alternative conditioning strategies to traditional genotoxic irradiation or chemotherapy conditioning for both allogeneic and autologous gene-modified hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Further, these agents are concurrently being explored in the treatment of mast cell disorders. Despite promising results in animal models and more recently in patients, the short-term and long-term effects of these treatments have not been fully explored. We conducted rigorous assessments to evaluate the effects of antagonistic anti-mCD117 mAb, ACK2, on hematopoiesis in wild-type (WT) and Fanconi Anemia (FA) mice. Importantly, we found no evidence of short-term DNA damage in either setting following this treatment suggesting that ACK2 does not induce immediate genotoxicity, providing crucial insights into its safety profile. Surprisingly, FA mice exhibited an increase in colony formation post-ACK2 treatment without accompanying DNA damage, indicating a potential targeting of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and expansion of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Moreover, the long-term phenotypic and functional changes in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells did not significantly differ between the ACK2-treated and control groups, in either setting, supporting that ACK2 does not adversely affect hematopoietic capacity. These finding underscore the safety of these agents when utilized as a short-course treatment in the conditioning context, as they did not induce significant changes in DNA damage amongst hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells. However, through a comparison of gene expression via single-cell RNA sequencing between untreated and treated mice, it was revealed that the ACK2 mAb, via c-Kit downregulation, effectively modulated the MAPK pathway with Fos down-regulation in WT and FA mice. Importantly, this modulation was achieved without causing prolonged disruptions. These findings validate the safety of the treatment and also enhance our understanding of its intricate mode of action at the molecular level.

Hemşirelik eğitiminde psikomotor beceri öğretiminde sanal gerçekliğin kullanımı ve bilişsel gelişim
Authors: Şengül Tuba
Published: April 2024

Sanal gerçekliğin psikomotor beceri öğretimindeki etkinliği, sadece psikomotor becerileri değil, aynı zamanda öğrencinin bilişsel gelişimini de güçlendirebilir. Bloom'un bilişsel taksonomisine göre, öğrencilerin yüksek seviyeli düşünme becerilerini geliştirmeleri için sanal gerçeklik, analiz ve sentez süreçlerine odaklanabilir. Öğrenciler, sanal gerçeklik uygulamaları aracılığıyla teorik bilgilerini klinik uygulamaya dönüştürürken, problem çözme yetenekleri ve klinik düşünme becerileri gibi bilişsel süreçler üzerinde de deneyim kazanabilirler. Ancak, bu avantajların yanında, sanal gerçekliğin eğitim sürecine getirdiği zorlukları ve potansiyel dezavantajları da değerlendirmek kritiktir. Bilişsel yükün artması, teknoloji korkusu ve eğitim programına entegrasyon sorunları gibi konular, bilişsel gelişim üzerinde olumsuz etkilere neden olabilir. Aynı zamanda, hemşirelik öğrencileri için hem pratik hem de bilişsel açıdan güçlendirildikleri, ancak teknoloji tabanlı eğitim araçlarına yönelik belirli zorlukların ele alınması gerektiği bir eğitim ortamı oluşturulabilir. Bu noktada, sanal gerçekliğin hemşirelik eğitimindeki rolünü daha iyi anlamak için daha fazla metodolojik araştırma ve kanıt temelli çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğunu vurgulamak önemlidir.

Authors: Hiligsmann Mickaël , Bruyère Olivier
Published: April 2024

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease with a substantial global burden, causing chronic pain and reduced quality of life. Managing OA efficiently while maximizing healthcare resources is crucial. Health economics and health technology assessment (HTA) are central tools providing a framework to evaluate the clinical, economic, and ethical aspects of healthcare technologies and interventions. This article presents some insights into the role of health economics and the HTA process in OA management. It also illustrates an example of cost-effectiveness analysis in a specific healthcare context, on the basis of a recent clinical trial involving hyaluronic acid treatment for knee OA. While HTA offers valuable insights, it faces challenges like data availability and resource constraints. Integrating health economics into decision-making can enhance patient care and allocate resources effectively in OA and other healthcare domains.

Taman Lenteng Agung is located in Lenteng Agung Village, Jagakarsa District, South Jakarta, DKI Jakarta. The park, which has an area of 14,000 m2, is a riparian zone. The riparian zone is a transitional space between rivers and land, which in the zone serves as a buffer from land. Several points in the Pingkal Park area are landslide-prone areas. One of the causes of intense soil movement on sloping land is a land management system that is not based on soil conservation principles. Perennials that can accommodate the soil are very limited in population on the slopes due to massive development. This community service activity aims to convey information about the function, benefits of riparian zones, erosion potential, and soil movement that can occur in Taman Pingkal. The method used in the implementation of this activity is in the form of socialization through booklet media. Participants were collected in the park and then given material through socialization by distributing booklets to activity participants. The socialization participants amounted to 15 people from the community and park managers who used the park for sports activities and recreational activities. The result obtained from this activity is that the manager and the community still do not know the functions and benefits of riparian zones, with this activity the community becomes aware of the functions and benefits of the park and has the desire to keep the park from being damaged. The use of booklet media can be an alternative for the community to obtain information about the functions and benefits of the park. Based on the results obtained from socialization activities, the dissemination of information to the community around the park needs to be expanded. The community needs to be involved in the management of the park as an open space. In addition, the attention of the local government to the sustainability and comfort of the park as an open space for the community is expected to be increased.

La Inteligencia Artificial (IA) ha tenido un rápido avance en las últimas décadas, transformando infinitos aspectos de la vida cotidiana del ser humano, en su mayoría óptimos. La idea principal detrás de la IA es crear programas o máquinas capaces de realizar tareas que, si fueran realizadas por un ser humano, requerirían inteligencia. El uso de la tecnología puede constituirse en un problema o en una solución; puede alienar, cosificar destruir, marginar o puede potenciar la superación, el progreso, el confort, el bienestar. La tecnofobia es el miedo o aversión hacia las nuevas tecnologías o dispositivos complejos, especialmente ordenadores, es decir, es el rechazo a las nuevas tecnologías y por consiguiente a la IA. La tecnofobia va en aumento, se ha viralizado la puesta en marcha de un sinnúmero de aplicaciones y artefactos artificiales puestos por el hombre y para el hombre, pero realizados por máquinas pensantes, trayendo con esto escepticismo cuando de IA se trate.
