Introduction
Serological surveys of the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 are instrumental to understanding the course of the COVID-19 epidemic. We evaluate the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among young adult Finnish females residing in 25 communities all over Finland from 2020 until 2022.

Methods
Between 1st March 2020 and 30th June 2022, 3589 blood samples were collected from 3583 women born in 1992–95 when aged 25 or 28 years old attending the follow-up of an ongoing population-based trial of cervical screening strategies. The crude and population standardized SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was measured using nucleocapsid (induced by infection) and spike wild-type (WT) protein (induced both by infection and by vaccination) antigens over time and stratified by place of residence (inside or outside the Helsinki metropolitan region).

Results
During 2020 (before vaccinations), spike-WT and nucleocapsid IgG antibodies followed each other closely, at very low levels (<5%). Spike-WT seropositivity increased rapidly concomitant with mass vaccinations in 2021 and reached 96.3% in the 2nd quartile of 2022. Antibodies to nucleocapsid IgG remained relatively infrequent throughput 2020–2021, increasing rapidly in the 1st and 2nd quartiles of 2022 (to 19.7% and 56.6% respectively). The nucleocapsid IgG seropositivity increased more profoundly in participants residing in the Helsinki metropolitan region (4.5%, 8.4% and 43.9% in 2020, 2021 and 2022 respectively) compared to those residing in communities outside the capital region (4.5%, 4.3% and 34.7%).

Conclusions
Low SARS-CoV-2 infection-related seroprevalence during 2020–2021 suggest a comparatively successful infection control. Antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 WT spike protein became extremely common among young women by the end of 2021, in line with the high uptake of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Finally, the rapid increase of seroprevalences to the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein during the first and second quartile of 2022, imply a high incidence of infections with SARS-CoV-2 variants able to escape vaccine-induced protection.

Published: July 2024

Background and objectiveThis cross-sectional study aimed to provide a scale to assess different aspects of the will based on Roberto Assagioli’s theory.Methods and resultsThe scale development followed three steps. Step 1 focused on operationalizing the construct and developing the items. It was carried out through several phases of item generation and refinement, resulting in a pool of 38 items. At Step 2 we tested the psychometric properties of the initial 38-item scale with the goal of excluding the items that weakened the structural validity and reliability of the scale. Descriptive, internal consistency, and exploratory factor analyses statistics were computed on a large sample (Sample 1:N= 587; age:M= 21.55,SD= 4.14, 66% female) and they led to a five-dimension model (Strong,Skillful,Good toward Self and Other, andTranspersonal Will) and the exclusion of 15 items. Analyses conducted at Step 3 on a different sample (Sample 2:N= 683; age:M= 34.09,SD= 16.27, 54% female) allowed for further refinement of the scale. Confirmatory factor analysis conducted on the resulting 19-item scale showed a good fit for the five-factor model (χ2(142) = 507.63,p< .001,TLI= .91;CFI = .93;RMSEA= .06 [90%CI: .06‒.07]), and evidence of its invariance across genders and ages was provided. Reliability indices (internal consistency and intraclass correlation coefficients) were adequate (ranging from .66 to .83) and correlations with measures of related constructs supported the external validity of the scale.ConclusionThis study provides researchers, therapists, and counselors with an efficient measurement tool to assess Assagioli’s construct of will.

Published: July 2024

Background
Non-invasive neurostimulation like muscle tendon vibration (VIB) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can provide valuable insights on mechanisms underlying sensorimotor dysfunctions. However, their feasibility in the context of painful musculoskeletal disorders like shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) remain uncertain.

Methods
The present work used a case series design including 15 participants with SIS, as well as a secondary group-based analysis comparing participants with SIS to 15 healthy counterparts. Proprioceptive processing was tested by VIB-induced kinesthetic illusions of shoulder abduction, and TMS tested corticospinal excitability of the upper trapezius. Detailed individual data were collected, including any technical challenges and feasibility issues encountered.

Results
VIB was in general well-tolerated and elicited a perceptible kinesthetic illusion in 13 participants with SIS and 14 controls. TMS presented with several challenges related to discomfort, fear-related behaviors, technical problems and high motor thresholds, especially in participants with SIS. It was only possible to collect all TMS measures in 5 participants with SIS (for both the painful and non/less-painful sides), in 7 controls on their dominant side and 10 controls on the non-dominant side. The only significant group-based analysis was a lower illusion speed/amplitude on the painful versus non-painful side in persons with SIS (p = 0.035).

Conclusion
Our study provides preliminary data on challenges encountered with TMS and VIB of trunk/proximal muscle in persons with SIS and healthy counterparts. It might help future studies to better address those challenges beforehand and improve the overall feasibility and impact of neurostimulation tools in musculoskeletal disorders.
The role of maternal and child healthcare providers in identifying and supporting perinatal mental health disorders
Authors: Kiraly Carmen , Boyle-Duke Betty , Shklarski Liat 
Published: July 2024

Background
Perinatal depression (PND) is underdiagnosed in the clinical setting. This study explores the role of obstetricians, and other primary care providers of maternal and child healthcare in detecting, screening, and referring women during the perinatal period identified as depressed, anxious, or exhibiting other symptoms of mental health disorders.

Method
Information was gathered from obstetricians (n = 16), and other primary care providers (pediatricians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants) (n = 85), on identifying and supporting childbearing women with symptoms of perinatal depression using an online survey.

Results
Statistical comparisons across participant groups were adjusted for years of practice in the profession. Statistically significant differences were noted. Obstetricians inquired more about the mother’s social support network (p = .011) and addressed mothers that appeared sad, upset, or unhappy (p = .044) compared to other primary care providers. Other primary care providers were more likely to refer patients to mental health support services (p = .005), provide PND-related information in their waiting rooms (p = .008), and use the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) (p = .027). There was also a significant difference in positively identifying eight symptoms of PND between provider groups. Obstetricians had higher rates of identifying the following symptoms: excessive crying (p < .001), feeling little or no attachment to the infant (p < .001), little feeling of enjoyment (p = .021), feelings of failure (p < .001), hopelessness (p < .001), agitation with self and infant (p < .001), fear of being alone with the infant (p = .011), and fear that these symptoms would last (p < .001).

Conclusion
Although certain screening practices were performed well, especially by the obstetrician group, screening deficits were noted within each group, and screening practices differed between groups. Training offered to maternal child health primary care providers on addressing perinatal mental health disorders may help improve provider screening practices and detection of PND symptoms in perinatal women. PND screening that combines face-to-face open-ended interviews with standardized screening tools can enhance patient-provider communication, potentially improving PND detection rates and follow-up care in perinatal women.
Outcomes of prognostication in people living with advanced cancer: A qualitative study to inform a Core Outcome Set
Authors: Spooner Caitlin , Vivat Bella , White Nicola , Stone Patrick 
Published: July 2024

Background
Studies of prognostication in advanced cancer use a wide range of outcomes and outcome measures, making it difficult to compare these studies and their findings. Core Outcome Sets facilitate comparability and standardisation between studies and would benefit future prognostic research. This qualitative study, the second step in a wider study developing such a Core Outcome Set, aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of patients with advanced cancer, informal caregivers, and clinicians regarding the potential outcomes to assess the impact of prognostication.

Methods
We conducted semi-structured interviews with patients living with advanced cancer (n = 8), informal caregivers (n = 10), and clinicians (n = 10) recruited from palliative care services across three sites in London, United Kingdom. Interviews were conducted in-person, via telephone, or video conferencing, and were audio-recorded. Data were analysed using framework analysis. Findings were compared with outcomes identified in a previously published systematic review.

Results
We identified 33 outcomes, 16 of which were not previously reported in the literature. We grouped these outcomes into 10 domains, nine from the COMET taxonomy, plus a tenth domain (spiritual/religious/existential functioning/wellbeing) which we added further to the previous systematic review. These findings highlighted discrepancies between the priorities of existing research and those of stakeholders. Novel outcomes highlight the more personal and emotional impacts of prognostication, whilst other outcomes confirm the relevance of survival length, depression, anxiety, pain, hope dynamics, emotional distress, and the quality of patient-clinician relationships for assessing the impact of prognostication.

Conclusions
This study offers valuable insights into outcomes which matter to key stakeholders, particularly patients and informal caregivers, highlights discrepancies between their priorities and those identified in previous studies, and underscores the need for a patient-centred approach in research and clinical practice in prognostication in advanced cancer. This work will contribute to developing a Core Outcome Set for assessing the impact of prognostication in advanced cancer.

INTRODUCTION:
The adoption of colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is still limited in the West. A recent randomized trial showed that ESD is more effective and only slightly riskier than piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection; reproducibility outside expert centers was questioned. We evaluated the results according to the annual case volume in a multicentric prospective cohort.

METHODS:
Between September 2019 and September 2022, colorectal ESD was consecutively performed at 13 participating centers classified as low volume (LV), middle volume (MV), and high volume (HV). The main procedural outcomes were assessed. Multivariate and propensity score matching analyses were performed.

RESULTS:
Three thousand seven hundred seventy ESDs were included. HV centers treated larger and more often colonic lesions than MV and LV centers. En bloc, R0, and curative resection rates were 95.2%, 87.4%, and 83.2%, respectively, and were higher at HV than at MV and LV centers. HV centers also achieved a faster dissection speed. Delayed bleeding and surgery for complications rates were 5.4% and 0.8%, respectively, without significant differences. The perforation rate (overall: 9%) was higher at MV than at LV and HV centers. Lesion characteristics, but not volume center, were independently associated with both R1 resection and perforation. However, after propensity score matching, R0 rates were significantly higher at HV than at LV centers, and perforation rates were significantly higher at MV than at HV centers.

DISCUSSION:
Colorectal ESD can be successfully implemented in the West, even in nonexpert centers. However, difficult lesions must still be referred to experts.

Authors: Wangrattanapranee Peerapol , Khrucharoen Usah , Jensen Dennis M. , Jensen Mary Ellen 
Published: July 2024

INTRODUCTION:
The natural history of patients with well-documented presumptive diverticular hemorrhage (TICH) is unknown. Our aims are to report (i) rebleeding rates and clinical outcomes of presumptive TICH patients with and without rebleeding, (ii) conversion to definitive TICH during long-term follow-up (F/U), and (iii) risk factors of presumptive diverticular (TIC) rebleeding.

METHODS:
This was a retrospective cohort study of prospectively collected results of presumptive TICH patients from 1994 to 2023. Presumptive TICH was diagnosed for patients with TICs without stigmata of recent hemorrhage and no other cause of bleeding found on anoscopy, enteroscopy, capsule endoscopy, computed tomography angiography, or tagged red blood cell scan. Patients with ≤6 months of F/U were excluded.

RESULTS:
Of 139 patients with presumptive TICH, 104 were male and 35 female. The median age was 76 years. There were no significant differences in baseline demographics of rebleeders and non-rebleeders. During long-term median F/U of 73 months, 24.5% (34/139) rebled. A total of 56% (19/34) of rebleeders were diagnosed as definitive TICH, and they had significantly higher rates of readmission (P < 0.001), reintervention (P < 0.001), and surgery (P < 0.001). During F/U, there were significantly higher rates of newly diagnosed hypertension and/or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in rebleeders (P = 0.033 from a logistic model). All-cause mortality was 42.8%, but none was from TICH.

DISCUSSION:
For presumptive TICH during long-term F/U, (i) 75.5% did not rebleed and 24.5% rebled. (ii) 56% of rebleeders were diagnosed as definitive TICH. (iii) New development of hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease were risk factors of TIC rebleeding.

INTRODUCTION:
Postendoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) coagulation syndrome (PECS) prevention is one of the common postoperative complications of colorectal ESD. Considering the increasing incidence of PECS, it is critical to investigate various prevention methods. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of transrectal drainage tubes (TDTs) in PECS prevention in patients following colorectal ESD.

METHODS:
From July 2022 to July 2023, a multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in 3 hospitals in China. Patients with superficial colorectal lesions ≥20 mm who had undergone ESD for a single lesion were enrolled. Initially, 229 patients were included in the study and 5 were excluded. Two hundred twenty-four were randomly assigned to the TDT and non-TDT group in the end. This open-label study utilized a parallel design with a 1:1 allocation ratio, and endoscopists and patients were not blind to the randomization, and a 24 Fr drainage tube was inserted approximately 10–15 cm above the anus after the ESD under the endoscopy and tightly attached to a drainage bag. The TDTs were removed in 1–3 days following the ESD.

RESULTS:
A total of 229 eligible patients were enrolled in this study, and 5 patients were excluded. Ultimately, 224 patients were assigned to the TDT group (n = 112) and non-TDT group (n = 112). The median age for the patients was 63.45 years (IQR 57–71; 59 men [52.68%]) in the TDT group and 60.95 years (IQR 54–68; 60 men [53.57%]) in the non-TDT group. Intention-to-treat analysis showed patients in the TDT group had a lower incidence of PECS than patients in the non-TDT group (7 [6.25%] vs 20 [17.86%]; relative risk, 0.350; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.154–0.795; P = 0.008). In the subgroup analysis, TDTs were found to prevent PECS in patients of the female gender (odd ratio, 0.097; 95% CI, 0.021–0.449; P = 0.001), tumor size <4 cm (odd ratio, 0.203; 95% CI, 0.056–0.728; P = 0.011), tumor located in the left-sided colorectum (odd ratio, 0. 339 95% CI, 0.120–0.957; P = 0.035), and shorter procedure time (<45 minutes) (odd ratio, 0.316; 95% CI, 0.113–0.879; P = 0.023). The tube fell off in 1 case (0.89%) accidentally ahead of time. No TDT-related complication was observed.

DISCUSSION:
The results from this randomized clinical study indicate that the application of TDTs effectively reduced the incidence of PECS in patients after colorectal ESD (chictr.org.cn Identifier: ChiCTR2200062164).

Authors: Antunes Machado Lucas 
Published: July 2024

Resumo: O aumento significativo de discursos de ódio e a violência contra minorias sociais revela a sala de aula como microcosmo de uma sociedade estruturada por políticas de violência colonial e patriarcal. Experiências de sala de aula evidenciam contradições que variam em torno de práticas de libertação e/ou dominação de corpos e mentes. O ensaio propõe uma discussão sobre as políticas de dominação e o processo pedagógico na perspectiva da intelectual, ativista social e crítica cultural bell hooks. Sua concepção de educação deriva de sua própria experiência de opressão de classe, raça e gênero, culminando em seu projeto ético-político de educação. Partimos da perspectiva de que a experiência do corpo em sala de aula pode ser lócus privilegiado de reflexões críticas dos sistemas interligados de opressão.

Politics of domination and the pedagogical process in bell hooks
Abstract: The significant increase in hate speech and violence against social minorities reveals the classroom as a microcosm of a society structured by policies of colonial and patriarchal violence. Classroom experiences reveal contradictions around practices of liberation and/or domination of bodies and minds. This essay discusses the politics of domination and the pedagogical process from the perspective of the intellectual, social activist, and cultural critic bell hooks. Her conception of education derives from her experience of class, race, and gender oppression, culminating in her ethical-political education project. We start from the perspective that the experience of the body in the classroom can be a privileged locus for critical reflections on interconnected systems of oppression.
Key-words: Politics of domination; Pedagogical process; bell hooks.
