BackgroundA wide range of household secondary infection rates has been reported, and the role of children in population transmission dynamics for SARS-CoV-2 remains ill-defined. We sought to better understand household infection early in the pandemic.MethodologyA cross-sectional study of 17 households in the Atlanta metropolitan area with at least one child and one case of COVID-19 in the prior 1–4 months were recruited between December 2020 and April 2021. Self-collected saliva samples were tested on a multiplexed platform to detect IgG antibodies that bind to SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Secondary infection rates (SIR) were calculated and compared.ResultsWe report results on 17 families, including 66 individuals. We found an average SIR of 0.58; children and adults were similarly infected (62% children vs. 75% adults) (p = 0.2). Two out of 17 households had a pediatric index per our definition. Number of pediatric infections per household (p = 0.18), isolation (p = 0.34), and mask wearing (p = 0.80) did not differ significantly among households with an SIR above the mean vs. those with SIR below the mean. Households with higher SIR also had a higher number of symptomatic cases (p &lt; 0.001).DiscussionWe demonstrated high household SIRs at the early stages of the pandemic in late 2020 to early 2021 with similar impact on children and adults. The ease of collecting saliva and the detection of asymptomatic infections highlight the advantages of this strategy and potential for scale-up.

ObjectiveTo understand the medication preference of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with different insurance coverages, and to provide reference for improving the patient-centered clinical treatment decision.MethodsThis study used Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) to elicit preferences of T2DM patients with different insurance coverages in China. A multistage stratified cluster-sampling procedure for data collection and a total of 1,409 valid respondent were conducted.ResultsSeven attributes have significant influence on the preference of T2DM patients with Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance (UEBMI) and Urban and Rural Residents Basic Medical Insurance (URRBMI) (p &lt; 0.05). T2DM patients with UEBMI pay the most attention to Gastrointestinal adverse events, while T2DM patients with URRBMI pay the most attention to the Treatment efficacy/reduction in HbA1c. Patients with different medical insurance have different willingness to pay for Cardiovascular benefits, Mode of administration and Weight change. When Gastrointestinal adverse events is changed from higher (40%) to none (0%), patients with UEBMI are willing to pay ¥523.49 more per month, while patients with URRBMI are only willing to pay ¥266.62; When the Treatment efficacy/reduction in HbA1c changes from poor (0.5%) to Highest (2.5%), patients with UEBMI are willing to pay ¥518.44 more per month, while patients with URRBMI are willing to pay ¥328.33 more per month. The Gastrointestinal adverse events and the Treatment efficacy/reduction in HbA1c are the primary factors for T2DM patients with UEBMI and URRBMI, followed by the Hypoglycemic risk.ConclusionPhysicians should consider patients’ medication preferences in clinical medication treatment of T2DM patients with different insurance coverages, make targeted treatment decisions, and improve patients’ medication compliance to achieve better treatment results.
Perspectives of psychiatric nurses on the stigmatization of mental healthcare in Ghana: a qualitative study
Authors: Mensah David Kofi 
Published: October 2024

BackgroundStigma surrounding mental illness has been identified as a major bane of psychiatric care in many low- and middle-income countries. Mental illness stigma affects both the sufferer and their care providers, including families and psychiatric care providers. In Ghana, attention toward psychiatric care is limited. This article provides qualitative insights on interpersonal and structural stigma experiences of psychiatric nurses from the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital, Ghana, and the impact of these stigmas on psychiatric care provision in Ghana. The article addresses relevant gap in the literature on the impact of mental illness stigma experiences among psychiatric nurses in low- and middle-income countries.MethodsUsing a qualitative research approach, this study draws from the experiences and perspectives of stigma among psychiatric nurses from the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital. Fourteen registered psychiatric nurses were recruited and interviewed using semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. A thematic analysis approach was adopted to analyze the data. Coding and analysis were done in NVivo 12, aiding in the analysis of major themes and subthemes that emerged from the data. The study was conducted remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions.ResultsThemes identified include social and structural stigmas toward psychiatric nurses and the impact of these stigmas on mental healthcare in Ghana. While social stigma makes psychiatric nursing a difficult career choice for many, structural stigma—resulting from governmental neglect and lack of material resource provision—presents difficulties for nurses and other psychiatric care providers in the exercise of their care duties, which negatively impacts care provision for persons with mental health issues.ConclusionThe relevance of the experiences and perspectives of psychiatric nurses on mental illness stigma cannot be overlooked in the effort to promote mental illness advocacy, treatment seeking, and improve psychiatry. This article provides insights into the stigma experiences of psychiatric nurses and the impact of these stigmas on mental healthcare provision in Ghana. The study contributes to efforts to improve mental healthcare policymaking and advocacy.

ObjectivesThe competency of radiology directly affects the quality and equity of medical services. Due to their different occupational characteristics compared to other specialists, this study aims to evaluate the impacts of lifestyles on competency and burnout in radiology residents in China.Materials and methodsA nationwide, cross-sectional survey was conducted from December 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021. A total of 12,208 radiology residents during their standardized residency training in China were invited. Multivariate linear regression and logistic regression were conducted to identify perceived competency and burnout associated with lifestyles.ResultsOf the 3,666 participants, 58.02% were female, 82.24% were aged &lt;30 years, 40.53% were from the Eastern region, and 92.06% obtained a bachelor’s degree. The radiology residents with high-level lifestyles had higher competency (β = 0.16, 95% CI = [0.01, 0.32]), particularly in the realms of sleep, physical activity, and alcohol consumption. The correlation was stronger in residents with longer work hours and more night shifts. Residents with insomnia (OR = 7.69, 95% CI = [4.23, 14.67]) and less exercise (OR = 6.24, 95% CI = [1.33, 29.37]) had higher burnout risk, while residents who smoked had a lower risk (OR = 0.60, 95% CI = [0.40, 0.89]). And lifestyle factors had a slightly different impact on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization.ConclusionRadiology residents’ lifestyles can be emphasized, as it may reflect their pressure and wellbeing and influence their concentration, competency, burnout and performance. Policymakers and hospital administrators should incorporate practical and modifiable strategies into work routines to improve the lifestyle quality of residents.

Abstract
We propose a scar model to simulate double-strand breaks (DSBs) in telomeric DNA induced by the β-decay of tritium into helium. The two hydrogens bonded to the

5

′

carbon connecting the pentasaccharides and phosphate are removed in this scar model. Molecular dynamics simulations using a reactive force field were conducted across ten cases involving telomeric DNA composed of 16 base pairs (32 nucleotides). DSBs are observed in structures with more than 24 scars, whereas only single-strand breaks (SSBs) occur in the case with 16 scars. Moreover, in the case of {16,0} and {0,16}, where only one of the strands had scars, SSB occurs only in the scarred strand. Second, in the {16,8} and {8, 16} cases, DSBs occur. Thus, we conclude that the following conditions are necessary for DSBs: (i) scars must be present on both the left (L) and right (R) strands and (ii) a substantial number of scars (24 or more) must be in close proximity.

Published: October 2024

A The generation of food waste is increasing along with the times. Food waste that is not processed properly will increase carbon emissions from the degradation of the waste. Therefore, proper processing is needed to reduce the generation of food waste. One method of processing food waste is to process food waste into liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) through an anaerobic fermentation process. In this research, food waste was processed into LOF using the fermentation method. This fermentation was carried out for 12 days without the presence of oxygen. In this study, there were variations in stirring to analyze the comparison of LOF results with these variations. Apart from that, food waste is mixed with goat and cat feces. This dirt can increase levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the LOF. Analysis of LOF quality parameters in this study consisted of C-organic, phosphorus, potassium, N-total, and pH. The results of this research showed that pH of LOF met LOF quality standard based on the degree of the Minister of Agriculture No. 261 2019. The results of the MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variance) test show material variations affected all dependent variables with a significance value of α < 0,05. The best variation was 40% cat feces and 60% food waste that produced the highest total NPK.

Limbah plastik multilayer, keramik sanitary, dan karet memiliki potensi sebagai bahan campuran paving block. Sampah plastik multilayer sulit terurai dan sulit didaur ulang, sehingga pengelolaannya minim. Selain limbah plastik multilayer, limbah karet juga sulit terurai karena merupakan sampah non-organik yang tahan terhadap air, tanah, dan senyawa kimia. Limbah keramik bisa dimanfaatkan sebagai campuran paving block karena sifatnya yang tahan lama dan kuat, serta dapat mengurangi volume limbah yang dibuang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat kesesuaian sifat tampak paving block dari ketiga limbah tersebut dengan SNI 03-0691-1996 tentang Bata Beton (Paving Block) serta melihat jumlah potensi reduksi limbahnya. Pembuatan paving block menggunakan 8 (delapan) komposisi yaitu Limbah Keramik (LKK): Limbah plastik Multilayer (LPM) sebesar 20%:80%, 30%:70%, 40%:60% dan 0%:100%; serta perbandingan Limbah Keramik (LKK), Limbah Plastik Multilayer (LPM), Limbah Karet (LKT) berturut-turut adalah 20%:60%:20%; 30%:50%:20%; 40%:40%:20%; dan 50%:30%:20%. Sifat tampak paving block yang sesuai dengan SNI 03-0691-1996 hanya terdapat pada beberapa sampel. Ketidaksesuaian dengan SNI tersebut dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa hal diantaranya jumlah komposisi yang beragam, proses pencampuran bahan (homogenisasi) serta proses pencetakan paving block. Berdasarkan hasil pembuatan paving block dengan 8 (delapan) komposisi yang berbeda, terdapat 3 (tiga) komposisi yang hasilnya sifat tampaknya sesuai dengan SNI 03-0691-1996 yaitu pada komposisi 20% LKK: 80% LPM, 100% LPM, dan 20% LKT: 60% LPM: 20% LKK. Jumlah reduksi sampah dari ketiga limbah tersebut berkisar antara 167,6 kg sampai 768 kg.

O objetivo do presente artigo é descrever casos clínicos de uma extensa lesão periapical , tratada por uma abordagem endodôntica não cirúrgica, com reparo periapical. Paciente de 23 anos de idade, gênero feminino, foi encaminhada ao consultório particular de um especialista em endodontia para tratamento endodôntico dos dentes 11, 12, 21 e 22. Mediante os achados clínicos e exames por imagem, estabeleceu-se o diagnóstico de periodontite apical. A modalidade terapêutica para o caso foi a realização do tratamento endodôntico conservador. O preparo dos canais radiculares foi realizado pela Crown Down, associado à Clorexidina a 2%, medicação intracanal (Ultracal) por um período de quatro semanas. A obturação dos canais radiculares foi realizada pela técnica da condensação lateral ativa associada ao cimento endodôntico BIO-C Sealer. A consulta de proservação foi realizada após 6 anos da obturação do canal radicular, onde foi possível observar ausência de sinais e sintomas de inflamação e/ou infecção e a radiografia de controle revelou reparo da lesão e neoformação óssea em todos os dentes tratados. Conclui-se que o tratamento endodôntico convencional realizado dentro das normas técnicas é suficiente para determinar o sucesso da terapia, permitindo uma neoformação óssea periapical, por meio de uma limpeza e desinfecção eficaz, uso de medicação intracanal à base de hidróxido de cálcio e obturação hermética do sistema de canais radiculares.
