Published: December 2021

AbstractIntroductionChildhood psoriasis is not uncommon, and its prevalence is estimated to be 128 per 100,000 children. There are sparse data regarding intrauterine and environmental tobacco smoke exposure and the development of psoriasis in childhood. In this study, we aimed to investigate these parameters in the Turkish pediatric population.Materials and MethodsWe included 130 children with psoriasis and 390 children as controls. For each risk factor, odds ratios of psoriasis as an estimate of relative risks and corresponding 95% confidence interval were calculated. Univariate conditional logistic regression analysis was used to determining the crude odds ratio. Subsequently, to evaluate the effects of potential confounding factors, multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis was used.ResultsChildhood psoriasis (CP) was found to be associated with environmental tobacco smoke exposure irrespective of intrauterine smoking exposure, family history of psoriasis, and obesity (OR: 2.23, 95% CI = 1.39–3.58), whereas multiple logistic regression analysis did not show a relationship between CP and intrauterine tobacco exposure (OR: 1.61, 95% CI = 0.75–3.43).ConclusionsEnvironmental tobacco smoke exposure at home denotes an important preventable risk factor for developing CP. Further studies are needed to elucidate the relationship between CP and environmental tobacco exposure investigating a large cohort of CP patients who have been diagnosed by expert dermatologists.

AbstractBackgroundWe aimed to compare the clinical findings of human bocavirus (HBoV) and human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infections, and to analyze the effects of coinfections on clinical features and disease severity in children with HBoV and HMPV infections.MethodsData were collected from 125 children with lower respiratory tract infections due to HBoV or HMPV, detected from nasal swap by real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) during the period from January, 2013 to December, 2017. In total, there were 101 HBoV (group 1) and 23 HMPV (group 2) infections in our data. The patients were further divided into four subgroups according to the coinfection status: HoBV only (subgroup 1, n = 41), HMPV only (subgroup 2, n = 19), HBoV and coinfection with other respiratory viruses (subgroup 3, n = 60), and HMPV and coinfection with other respiratory viruses (subgroup 4, n = 4).ResultsThe majority (88.8%) of the patients were aged 5 years or younger. Coinfections with other respiratory viruses were significantly more common in group 1 (P = 0.001). Among patients who had nosocomial pneumonia, patients with HBoV infections had significantly longer mean length of hospital stay (LOS) than those with HMPV infections (P = 0.032). The hospitalization and antibiotic requirements were significantly higher in subgroup 1 than subgroup 3 (P = 0.005, 0.039, resp.) According to the logistic regression analyses, the LOS increased by 21.7 times with HBoV infections (P = 0.006).ConclusionsHuman bocavirus and HMPV infections are serious pathogens mostly seen in children and usually requiring hospitalization regardless of co‐infection status. The HBoV infections caused longer LOS than the HMPV infections in patients with nosocomial infections.

AbstractObjectiveThis study examines how clinicians' emotional responses to suicidal patients and their emotion regulation abilities are related to their treatment recommendations for these patients and to patients' concurrent suicidal ideation and at one‐month follow‐up.MethodsAdult psychiatric outpatients (N = 361) and the mental health professionals evaluating them for treatment (N = 43) completed self‐report assessments following their first clinical meeting. Clinician emotion regulation traits, emotional responses to individual patients, and the recommended intensity of treatment were assessed. Patients were assessed for suicidal ideation immediately following the initial meeting and at a one‐month follow‐up. Moderation and mediation analyses were performed to examine the relationships between study variables.ResultsPatient suicidal ideation at the initial clinical encounter was associated with increased negative emotions in clinicians with lower emotion regulation. Further, recommended treatment intensity was associated with clinicians' negative emotional responses but not with patient suicidal ideation among clinicians with lower emotion regulation.ConclusionsTreatment intensification is related to clinicians' emotion regulation abilities. Clinicians' attention to their emotional responses may facilitate improved treatment process and ultimately may improve suicidal outcomes.
Feeling Black: A Conversation About Justice Imperatives in Education, Disability, and Health
Authors: Hodge Samuel R. , Harrison Louis 
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this paper is to engage the reader in a conversation about justice imperatives in education, disability, and health. As counternarrative to structured majoritarian scholarship and positioned in the expressed intent of the National Academy of Kinesiology’s 90th annual meeting theme of Kinesiology’s Social Justice Imperative, we express feelings about the urgency for social justice in teacher education. To start, we operationally define social justice as advocacy, agency, and action. Next, we recommend the application of critical theoretical frameworks in conceptualizing and conducting research involving historically marginalized and minoritized populations (e.g., African American students). This conversation is theoretically grounded in intersectionality to offer a nuanced understanding of social constructions, such as ethnicity (e.g., African American) and race (e.g., Black), gender, culture, disability, and sociometric positioning regarding justice imperatives in education, disability, and health.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The mechanisms involved in the origin and development of malignant and neurodegenerative diseases are an important area of modern biomedicine. A crucial task is to identify new molecular markers that are associated with rearrangements of intracellular signaling and can be used for prognosis and the development of effective treatment approaches. The proteolipid plasmolipin (PLLP) is a possible marker. PLLP is a main component of the myelin sheath and plays an important role in the development and normal function of the nervous system. PLLP is involved in intracellular transport, lipid raft formation, and Notch signaling. PLLP is presumably involved in various disorders, such as cancer, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. PLLP and its homologs were identified as possible virus entry receptors. The review summarizes the data on the PLLP structure, normal functions, and role in diseases.

Abstract
Exchange-coupled spin valves based on ferromagnetic alloys CoFeNi and antiferromagnetic alloy FeMn are obtained on flexible polyimide substrates by magnetron sputtering. The magnetoresistive properties of films and microstrips of spin valves are measured at various degrees of bending deformation of the sample. The behavior of the dependence of the deformation sensitivity of the spin valve on the interaction between the magnetic layers and on the arrangement of the anisotropy axes with respect to the deformation vector is characterized. It is found that the deformation sensitivity decreases with an increase in the interval between the fields of magnetization reversal of the free and fixed layers in the spin valve.

AbstractThe morphology of acritarch speciesElektoriskos? williereae(G. & M. Deflandre, 1965) Vanguestaine, 1979, previously considered as a Silurian index of the Llandovery, has been clarified, the diagnosis emended, and the stratigraphic distribution expanded. According to new data, the first appearance ofE.? williereaewas confined to the upper part of the Baksan Horizon near the boundary of the Sandbian and Katian stages of the Upper Ordovician. Co-occurrence ofE.? williereaewith representatives of the generaGordonirundum,Nirundella,Peteinosphaeridium, andSacculidiumis a distinct, well-recognizable palynological characteristic of the Katian deposits of the Siberian Platform which can serve for identification, dating, and correlation of the acritarch-bearing strata. Morphological variations inE.? williereaeare a stable diagnostic feature of the species that distinguishes it from other taxa. It is possible that the species was sensitive to paleoenvironments and, probably, highly adaptive, which allowed it, remaining almost unchanged, to overcome the global Late Ordovician cooling, which became fatal for many other groups of organisms.

IntroductionThe WHO has proposed the concept of mobile health (mHealth) to support healthcare systems delivery worldwide. mHealth basically involves the use of Information and Communication Technology for healthcare provision or delivery services. Africa has seen a remarkable increase in mobile phone availability and usage in the last decade. The incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Africa have also been on the increase in the last decade, in sharp contrast to an ailing healthcare system. We aim to review the extent of implementation of mHealth in the management of DM in Africa, and estimate its impact in helping patients achieve desired glycaemic target, sustain control and prevent complications in the past decade.Methods and analysisStudies assessing the utilisation of mhealth in the management of patients with DM in Africa will be considered based on the PICO method: Population, Intervention, Comparator, and Outcomes. Medline, PubMed, SCOPUS and the Pan African Clinical Trials Registry, among others will be searched. Two authors independent of each other shall screen titles and abstracts retrieved using the search strategy, retrieve the full text articles and assess them for eligibility and extract data. A third reviewing author will be brought in to resolve any disagreement between the two authors by discussion. The ‘Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool’ will be used to assess the quality of included studies. A narrative synthesis of extracted data and, where the characteristics of the eligible studies permit, a meta-analysis (which will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines) will be done.Ethics and disseminationNo ethical approval will be required since only published data will be used. Dissemination of results will be through peer reviewed publication and conference presentation.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021218674.

ObjectivesTo investigate the airway management equipment and clinical practice in emergency department wards in China, and to explore the factors that influenced the nurses’ airway management practice.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingA nationwide survey covering the seven administrative regions of China (North China, Northeast China, East China, Central China, South China, Southwest China and Northwest China).ParticipantsThe nurses had to be registered nurses who worked in adult emergency department wards of the selected hospitals.MeasuresAn online survey was designed, piloted and distributed to the members of the Emergency Medicine Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association, and the nurses from the members’ hospitals were invited to participate. The questionnaire was used to determine nurses’ clinical practice scores of airway management in emergency wards.ResultsFinally, we collected 995 valid questionnaires from 31 provinces and 143 districts in China. Among them, 361 (36.28%) nurses responded that their departments used open suction system (OSS) in clinical work, the major barrier for closed suction system (CSS) reported by 630 respondents (63.32%) was cost. Significant differences in all three scores were found in age, nursing experience years, technical title, airway management training experience and nursing specialist (all p<0.05). Correlations were found among airway management attitude, practice of sputum aspiration and practice of ventilator care bundles (r=0.655, r=0.543 and r=0.763, all p<0.001).ConclusionsChinese emergency department managers need to identify better methods for assessing equipment availability in OSS. CSS can be a choice when costs, status of the individual patient and severity of disease are comprehensively considered. Emergency department nurses’ scores of airway management practice were affected by demographic and job-related characteristics; regular training should be encouraged, and equipment and resources should be guaranteed to improve airway management quality and optimise patient outcomes.

Published: December 2021

IntroductionSocial networks (SNs) can play a crucial role in the process of recovery from mental illness. Yet there is no standard best practice for involving SNs to optimise patient recovery. It is therefore critical to explore the diversity of SN approaches in mental health, highlight gaps in the evidence and suggest future directions for research and practice. This protocol describes the methods for an umbrella review of SN interventions for the care and/or treatment of mental illness.Methods and analysisNine electronic databases will be searched for the relevant journal articles: CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Ovid Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus and Ovid PsycINFO. We will include reviews which extracted information about the quantity, structure and quality of patient’s SNs as well as frequency of contact. The range of publication dates of the included articles will be from 2010 and 2021, as recommended by Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. The Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews 2 tool and ratings of the quality of evidence will be used to assess the quality of the included reviews. The results will be presented in accordance with guidelines in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 statement. Findings will inform the development of an SN framework to guide the design and evaluation of psychosocial interventions.Ethics and disseminationThis umbrella review will involve secondary data analysis and ethical approval is not required. The target audience includes clinicians, researchers and service users, who will be reached with tailored materials through journal publications, conference presentations and social media. The presentation of the results will provide a more complete picture of relevant evidence and explicit basis from which to improve psychosocial well-being for people diagnosed with a mental illness.PROSPERO registration numberThis protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (http:/ /www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO), registration number CRD42020192873.

ObjectiveVaccination in pharmacies has been a key component of national vaccination strategies to facilitate vaccination access. Qualitative data on the perspectives of professional stakeholders on vaccination in pharmacies and on the professional relations of pharmacists with physicians regarding increasing immunisation rates is limited. We conducted a qualitative study in Switzerland. The main aim was to gain further insight into professional stakeholders’ perspectives on vaccination counselling and administration conducted in pharmacies, and to further understand their views on physicians’ and pharmacists’ roles in increasing immunisation rates.DesignWe conducted semistructured qualitative interviews. We coded and analysed transcripts using thematic analysis.SettingFace-to-face interviews took place in German-speaking and French-speaking regions of Switzerland.ParticipantsWe interviewed 14 key vaccination stakeholders including health authorities, heads of pharmacy management and professional association boards. All participants had a background in medicine or pharmacy.ResultsThree main themes emerged from the qualitative data: (1) Participants viewed pharmacists as competent to provide vaccination counselling and administration based on their university training; (2) interprofessional cooperation between physicians and pharmacists on vaccination topics is limited and should be improved; and (3) pharmacists play an important role in increasing immunisation rates by facilitating vaccination access and through provision of vaccination counselling.ConclusionBy providing vaccination counselling and administering vaccines, pharmacists play an important public health role. Healthcare policies and health authorities should encourage more involvement of pharmacists and encourage interprofessional cooperation between physicians and pharmacists in order to improve vaccination counselling and increase immunisation rates.

ObjectivesThe study aimed to investigate the association of insulin resistance (IR), which was estimated by the homoeostasis model assessment for IR (HOMA-IR), with albuminuria and renal function impairment in a general Chinese population.DesignA retrospective cross-sectional study.Setting and participantsA total of 13 742 adults (age: ≥18 years) who underwent a health check-up at a hospital in Southeast China during 2013–2014 were enrolled. 216 subjects were excluded due to lack of enough fasting time, be pregnant, have chronic diseases influencing metabolic functions or have glomerulonephritis, renal cancer, kidney transplant. Eventually, 7552 men and 5974 women were included for the present analysis.Primary outcome measuresThe association of HOMA-IR with albuminuria and renal function impairment were analysed. The HOMA-IR cut-off value for detecting albuminuria and renal function impairment were determined.ResultsAn increase in the HOMA-IR quartile was significantly associated with the prevalence of albuminuria and renal function impairment in all men and women aged >45 years. The multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed a significant association of the HOMA-IR with albuminuria and renal function impairment in subjects aged >45 years of the fourth quartiles compared with those of the first quartile after adjusting for potential confounders (albuminuria: men OR, 2.39; 95% CI 1.51 to 3.79, p<0.001; women OR, 2.40; 95% CI 1.44 to 4.01; p=0.001; renal function impairment: men OR, 2.30; 95% CI 1.50 to 3.51; p<0.001; women OR, 2.20; 95% CI 1.35 to 3.58; p=0.002). The optimal cut-off value of HOMA-IR for detecting albuminuria and renal function impairment was 2.69 in men aged ≤45 years, 1.60 in men aged >45 years and 1.86 in women aged >45 years.ConclusionsOur study revealed that HOMA-IR was significantly associated with albuminuria and renal function impairment in individuals aged >45 years.

ObjectiveTo explore how patients with experience of acute coronary heart disease make sense of, and deal with, the fact of being prescribed cardiovascular preventive medication.DesignQualitative interview study.SettingSwedish primary care.ParticipantsTwenty-one participants with experience of being prescribed cardiovascular preventive medication, recruited from a randomised controlled study of problem-based learning for self-care for coronary heart disease.MethodsThe participants were interviewed individually 6–12 months after their hospitalisation for acute coronary disease. A narrative analysis was conducted of their accounts of being prescribed cardiovascular preventive medication.ResultsFour themes shape the patients’ experiences:‘A matter of living’concerns an awareness of the will to live linked to being prescribed cardiovascular preventive medication regarded in the light of the recent hospitalisation. In‘Reconciliation of conflicting self-images’, patients dealt with being prescribed preventive medication through work to restore an identity of someone responsible in spite of viewing the taking of medication as questionable. The status of feeling healthy, while being someone in need of medication, also constituted conflicting self-images. Following this, taking medication was framed as necessary, not as an active choice.‘Being in the hands of expertise’is about the seeking of an answer from a reliable prescriber to the question: ‘Is this medication really necessary for me?’ Existential labour was done to establish that the practice of taking cardiovascular preventive medication was an inevitable necessity, rather than an active choice.‘Taking medicines no longer a big deal’could be the resulting experience of this process.ConclusionsUnmet existential needs when being prescribed cardiovascular preventive medication seem to be a component of the burden of treatment. A continuous and trustful relationship with the prescribing doctor may facilitate the reconciliation of conflicting self-images, and support patients in their efforts to incorporate their medicines taking into daily life.
