Hydrothermal upgrading as an important tool for the REE mineralization in the Miaoya carbonatite-syenite complex, Central China
Authors: Ma Rong-Lin , Chen Wei Terry , Zhang Wei , Chen You-Wei 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Secondary hydrothermal reworking of REEs has been widely documented in carbonatites/alkaline rocks, but its potential role in the REE mineralization associated with these rocks is currently poorly understood. This study conducted a combined textural and in situ chemical investigation on the REE mineralization in the ~430 Ma Miaoya carbonatite-syenite complex, central China. Our study shows that the REE mineralization, dated at ~220 Ma, is characterized by a close association of REE minerals (monazite and/or bastnäsite) with pervasive carbonatization overprinting the carbonatites and syenites. In these carbonatites and syenites, both the apatite and calcite, which are the dominant magmatic REE-bearing minerals, exhibit complicated internal textures that are generally composed of BSE-bright and BSE-dark domains. Under BSE imaging, the former domains are homogeneous and free of pores or mineral inclusions, whereas the latter have a high porosity and inclusions of monazite and/or bastnäsite. In situ chemical analyses show that the BSE-dark domains of the apatite and calcite have light REE concentrations and (La/Yb)N values much lower than the BSE-bright areas. These features are similar to those observed in metasomatized apatite from mineral-fluid reaction experiments, thus indicating that the BSE-dark domains formed from primary precursors (i.e., represented by the BSE-bright domains) through a fluid-aided, dissolution-reprecipitation process during which the primary light REEs are hydrothermally remobilized. New, in situ Sr-Nd isotopic results of apatite and various REE minerals, in combination with mass balance calculations, strongly suggest that the remobilized REEs are responsible for the subsequent hydrothermal REE mineralization in the Miaoya complex. Investigations of fluid inclusions show that the fluids responsible for the REE mobilization and mineralization are CO2-rich, with medium temperatures (227–340 °C) and low salinities (1.42–8.82 wt‰). Such a feature, in combination with C-O isotopic data, indicates that the causative fluids are likely co-genetic with fluids from coeval orogenic Au-Ag deposits (220–200 Ma) in the same tectonic unit. Our new findings provide strong evidence that the late hydrothermal upgrading of early cumulated REEs under certain conditions could also be an important tool for REE mineralization in carbonatites, particularly for those present in convergent belts where faults (facilitating fluid migration) and hydrothermal fluids are extensively developed.

Published: January 2021

Introduction:
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease. Vitamin D
deficiency, often associated with osteoporosis and other bone tissue disorders, is spread worldwide.
Among other factors, obesity seems to be a major cause of the growing hypovitaminosis D. The aim
of the study was to assess the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and vitamin D
concentrations in postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis.

Materials and Methods:
Sixty-nine women with postmenopausal osteoporosis were included in the
study. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and vitamin D measures were performed in all patients.
Three groups, BMI- dependent, were distinguished: normal weight, overweight and obesity group.

Results:
Vitamin D deficiency was found in all women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. There
was no correlation between BMI and vitamin D level.

Conclusions:
Vitamin D deficiency is frequent in the population of patients diagnosed with postmenopausal
osteoporosis, regardless of their BMI.
Exploring Modifications in Fetal Telomere Programming in Mothers Exposed to Multiple Risk Factors
Authors: Farrukh Sadia , Baig Saeeda , Sani Aliya Irshad 
Published: January 2021

Background:
Genetic stability of the chromosome is preserved by telomeres, which act
as biological markers of ageing. The Relative Telomere Length (RTL) of a fetus has been found
highly variable at birth under the influence of multiple risk factors.

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to find an association between maternal factors like obesity and low hemoglobin
with cord blood RTL.

Methods:
This study used a Quantitative Real-time Polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to measure
RTL in blood samples of 250 mother-newborn dyads. Participants having the age of 18-35 years
and gestational age 37 weeks or above were divided into three BMI groups, normal (18.5-24.5
kg/m2), overweight (25-29.9 kg/m2), and obese (>30kg/m2). Association among maternal parameters
and cord RTL was analyzed by spearmen correlation, Kruskal Wallis, and Man Whitney U test.

Results:
Overall newborn cord blood RTL in base pair (bp) (mean ± SD) was longer (6915±1425,
6469+1077,6485±1015) compared to mother blood (bp) (6471±1144, 6322+838, 6401 ±993)
(p<0.05) in all three groups of BMI, whereas shortest cord RTL (6485bp±1015) was observed in the
newborns of obese females (p<0.597). A positive correlation (R=0.806) was between the low hemoglobin
and cord blood RTL (p=<0.05); however, a significant decrease in cord RTL
(7685bp±321) was observed with an increase in BMI (p<0.05). In the newborn gender, boys
showed longer RTL (7509bp ±830) and had mothers with overweight, 82(55%), whereas the majority
of girls, 20(57%), were born to females with normal BMI (p=0.06).

Conclusion:
Low hemoglobin was found a significant risk factor for the modification of telomeres
in the newborns of Pakistani females. In females having overweight and obesity, shorter cord RTL
was observed.

Authors: Kshirsagar Minal M. , Dodamani Arun S. , Dodamani Girija A. , Khobragade Vrushali R. , Deokar Rahul N. 
Published: January 2021

Background:
The COVID-19 (2019-nCoV) pandemic is a major threat to public health
worldwide; it has been identified as originating in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. It has spread
across the globe, causing an outbreak of acute infectious pneumonia. Such a global outbreak is associated
with adverse effects on mental health. Fear, stress and anxiety seem more definitely an outcome
of mass quarantine.

Methods:
Keeping this pandemic situation in mind, existing literature on the COVID-19 crisis relevant
to mental health was redeemed via a literature search from the PubMed database. Collected
published articles were summarized according to their overall themes.

Results:
Preliminary evidence suggests that symptoms of self-reported stress, anxiety and depression
have a common psychological impact due to the pandemic, and may be associated with disrupted
sleep. Regional, state and National-international borders have almost been shut down,
economies crashed, and billions of people quarantined or isolated at their own homes and quarantine
centers. In this situational frame of covid-19, patients, frontline health-care professionals anf
geriatric population with existing psychiatric conditions may be encountering further suffering.

Conclusion:
COVID-19 will continue to affect mental health, which plays an important role in
battling the epidemic. With the scare of the COVID-19 pandemic on the rise, it is time that psychiatrists
should try to integrate the health-care services keeping mental health at prime.
Embracing Creative Transience: From Political Remix Video to Digital Collage
Authors: Lyons Diran 
Published: January 2021

In this essay, I explore my latest series of digital collages titled Notes and Narratives. These works utilize additive, subtractive, and substitutive remix strategies to integrate Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque paintings with visages of Donald Trump and his associates. The series appropriates historical masterworks to interrelate the theologico-political foundations of the original paintings with the political turbulence experienced under the Trump administration.
Notes and Narratives foregrounds remix as a powerful and potent tool for disruption, change, and communication in the continuum of pedagogic praxes and remix studies. My previous artistic work was dedicated to creating political remix videos, and this body of work represents a fork in my creative practice. The immediacy of the collages draws upon intertextuality and remix strategies to reveal passionate polemical positions, positing contentious criticisms of the political leadership in the United States.
Understanding Technology Preferences and Requirements for Health Information Technologies Designed to Improve and Maintain the Mental Health and Well-Being of Older Adults: Participatory Design Study
Authors: LaMonica Haley M , Davenport Tracey A , Roberts Anna E , Hickie Ian B 
Published: January 2021

Background
Worldwide, the population is aging rapidly; therefore, there is a growing interest in strategies to support and maintain health and well-being in later life. Although familiarity with technology and digital literacy are increasing among this group, some older adults still lack confidence in their ability to use web-based technologies. In addition, age-related changes in cognition, vision, hearing, and perception may be barriers to adoption and highlight the need for digital tools developed specifically to meet the unique needs of older adults.

Objective
The aim of this study is to understand the use of technology by older adults in general and identify the potential barriers to and facilitators of the adoption of health information technologies (HITs) to support the health and well-being of older adults to facilitate implementation and promote user uptake. In addition, this study aims to co-design and configure the InnoWell Platform, a digital tool designed to facilitate better outcomes for people seeking mental health services, to meet the needs of adults 50 years and older and their supportive others (eg, family members, caregivers) to ensure the accessibility, engagement, and appropriateness of the technology.

Methods
Participants were adults 50 years and older and those who self-identified as a supportive other (eg, family member, caregiver). Participants were invited to participate in a 3-hour participatory design workshop using a variety of methods, including prompted discussion, creation of descriptive artifacts, and group-based development of user journeys.

Results
Four participatory design workshops were conducted, including a total of 21 participants, each attending a single workshop. Technology use was prevalent, with a preference indicated for smartphones and computers. Factors facilitating the adoption of HITs included personalization of content and functionality to meet and be responsive to a consumer’s needs, access to up-to-date information from reputable sources, and integration with standard care practices to support the relationship with health professionals. Concerns regarding data privacy and security were the primary barriers to the use of technology to support mental health and well-being.

Conclusions
Although HITs have the potential to improve access to cost-effective and low-intensity interventions at scale for improving and maintaining mental health and well-being, several strategies may improve the uptake and efficacy of technologies by the older adult community, including the use of co-design methodologies to ensure usability, acceptability, and appropriateness of the technology; support in using and understanding the clinical applications of the technology by a digital navigator; and ready availability of education and training materials.

Published: January 2021

Background
COVID-19 was declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Given that the severe shortage of hospital beds has led to early discharge and insufficient patient education on home care routines and isolation protocols, the close follow-up of patients and their immediate relatives is an integral part of transitioning from hospital care to home care for patients with COVID-19.

Objective
We designed the Tele-COVID-19 prospective cohort to follow-up with COVID-19 patients in Tehran, Iran, and improve health care delivery and the recording of postdischarge patients’ clinical profiles.

Methods
All adult patients who were admitted to the COVID-19 wards of teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran were eligible to participate in this cohort study. At baseline, patients were recruited from 4 major hospitals from March 9, 2020 to May 20, 2020. Telephone follow-ups, which were led by volunteer medical students, were conducted on postdischarge days 1-3, 5, 7, 10, and 14. We collected data on a range of sociodemographic, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics by using a standard questionnaire.

Results
Of the 950 patients with confirmed COVID-19 who were approached, 823 (response rate: 86.6%) consented and were enrolled into the cohort. Of the 823 participants, 449 (54.5%) were male. The mean age of participants was 50.1 years (SD 12.6 years). During the initial data collection phase, more than 5000 phone calls were made and over 577 reports of critical patients who were in need of urgent medical attention were recorded.

Conclusions
The Tele-COVID-19 cohort will provide patients with sufficient education on home care and isolation, and medical advice on care and the proper use of drugs. In addition, by preventing unnecessary hospital returns and providing information on household SARS-CoV-2 transmission as early as possible, this cohort will help with effective disease management in resource-limited settings.

Nowcasting for Real-Time COVID-19 Tracking in New York City: An Evaluation Using Reportable Disease Data From Early in the Pandemic
Authors: Greene Sharon K , McGough Sarah F , Culp Gretchen M , Graf Laura E , Lipsitch Marc , Menzies Nicolas A , Kahn Rebecca 
Published: January 2021

Background
Nowcasting approaches enhance the utility of reportable disease data for trend monitoring by correcting for delays, but implementation details affect accuracy.

Objective
To support real-time COVID-19 situational awareness, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene used nowcasting to account for testing and reporting delays. We conducted an evaluation to determine which implementation details would yield the most accurate estimated case counts.

Methods
A time-correlated Bayesian approach called Nowcasting by Bayesian Smoothing (NobBS) was applied in real time to line lists of reportable disease surveillance data, accounting for the delay from diagnosis to reporting and the shape of the epidemic curve. We retrospectively evaluated nowcasting performance for confirmed case counts among residents diagnosed during the period from March to May 2020, a period when the median reporting delay was 2 days.

Results
Nowcasts with a 2-week moving window and a negative binomial distribution had lower mean absolute error, lower relative root mean square error, and higher 95% prediction interval coverage than nowcasts conducted with a 3-week moving window or with a Poisson distribution. Nowcasts conducted toward the end of the week outperformed nowcasts performed earlier in the week, given fewer patients diagnosed on weekends and lack of day-of-week adjustments. When estimating case counts for weekdays only, metrics were similar across days when the nowcasts were conducted, with Mondays having the lowest mean absolute error of 183 cases in the context of an average daily weekday case count of 2914.

Conclusions
Nowcasting using NobBS can effectively support COVID-19 trend monitoring. Accounting for overdispersion, shortening the moving window, and suppressing diagnoses on weekends—when fewer patients submitted specimens for testing—improved the accuracy of estimated case counts. Nowcasting ensured that recent decreases in observed case counts were not overinterpreted as true declines and supported officials in anticipating the magnitude and timing of hospitalizations and deaths and allocating resources geographically.
Finance, social value, and the rhetoric of GDP
Authors: Assa Jacob 
Published: January 2021

AbstractThe global financial crisis is usually seen as a failure of neoclassical economic theory and neoliberal policy, but it also represented an epistemological failure. Forecasters who missed the crisis neglected to include the financial sector in their models, while aggregate indicators such as GDP failed in spite (or perhaps because) of their heavy emphasis on financially driven growth. In contrast to both critics and proponents of GDP who see it as a purely statistical measure, this article argues that GDP is in fact a form of numerical rhetoric. Political messages in such estimates were explicit until the early twentieth century, but have since become implicit in hidden assumptions. To uncover the narratives built-in to GDP's view of finance, the article conducts a thought-experiment comparing GDP with two counterfactual indicators corresponding to historical views of finance as either non-productive or an actual cost to society. The analysis shows how changing this single assumption leads to very different narratives regarding the class-balance of workers vs. capitalists, the relative importance of consumption, and the extent of space that exists for public policy to influence the economy. The article concludes with some thoughts on making the implicit assumptions in GDP explicit, and opening up the debate to the broader public in a transparent way.

RESUMO:O mundo está passando por uma transformação demográfica. O número de idosos vem aumentando progressivamente nas últimas décadas, levando a um crescente interesse pelo entendimento do processo de envelhecimento, que é universal, complexo e multifacetado. O estresse oxidativo, uma das teorias biológicas do envelhecimento mais aceita na atualidade, pode estar relacionado à senescência renal. Do ponto de vista do envelhecimento renal, sabe-se que o rim apresenta alterações morfológicas e funcionais com o avançar da idade que podem ser agravadas pela presença de comorbidades. A doença renal crônica terminal vem assumindo grande importância para a saúde pública, visto que a sua incidência e prevalência têm aumentado de forma significativa nas últimas décadas, principalmente na população idosa. Objetiva-se abordar a senescência renal e o desenvolvimento da doença renal crônica terminal e as possíveis relações com a teoria do estresse oxidativo.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Envelhecimento. Radicais Livres. Estresse Oxidativo. Rim. Doença Renal Terminal. ABSTRACT:The world is undergoing a demographic change. The number of elderly has increased progressively in the last few decades, leading to a growing interest in understanding the aging process, which is universal, complex and multifaceted. Oxidative stress, one of the currently most accepted biological theories of aging, may be related to renal senescence. From the standpoint of renal aging it is known that the kidney presents morphological alterations and, as people grow older, they may become worse due to the presence of comorbidities. End stage renal disease has become increasingly important in public health, since its incidence and prevalence have grown significantly in the last few decades, especially in the elderly population. The intention of this paper is to discuss renal senescence and the development of end stage renal disease, and its possible relations with the theory of oxidative stress. KEYWORDS: Aging.
