Neural correlates of recalled sadness, joy, and fear states: a source reconstruction EEG study
Authors: Proverbio Alice Mado , Cesati Federico 
Published: April 2024

IntroductionThe capacity to understand the others’ emotional states, particularly if negative (e.g. sadness or fear), underpins the empathic and social brain. Patients who cannot express their emotional states experience social isolation and loneliness, exacerbating distress. We investigated the feasibility of detecting non-invasive scalp-recorded electrophysiological signals that correspond to recalled emotional states of sadness, fear, and joy for potential classification.MethodsThe neural activation patterns of 20 healthy and right-handed participants were studied using an electrophysiological technique. Analyses were focused on the N400 component of Event-related potentials (ERPs) recorded during silent recall of subjective emotional states; Standardized weighted Low-resolution Electro-magnetic Tomography (swLORETA) was employed for source reconstruction. The study classified individual patterns of brain activation linked to the recollection of three distinct emotional states into seven regions of interest (ROIs).ResultsStatistical analysis (ANOVA) of the individual magnitude values revealed the existence of a common emotional circuit, as well as distinct brain areas that were specifically active during recalled sad, happy and fearful states. In particular, the right temporal and left superior frontal areas were more active for sadness, the left limbic region for fear, and the right orbitofrontal cortex for happy affective states.DiscussionIn conclusion, this study successfully demonstrated the feasibility of detecting scalp-recorded electrophysiological signals corresponding to internal and subjective affective states. These findings contribute to our understanding of the emotional brain, and have potential applications for future BCI classification and identification of emotional states in LIS patients who may be unable to express their emotions, thus helping to alleviate social isolation and sense of loneliness.
Development of an intervention to support parents receiving treatment in psychiatric inpatient hospital using participatory design methods
Authors: Dunn Abby , Fenton Patrick , Cartwright-Hatton Sam 
Published: April 2024

IntroductionWhen parents of dependent children are treated in psychiatric inpatient hospital, it typically involves separation of parent and child for the duration of treatment, which can be highly distressing to the dyad and can result in disruption to the parent-child relationship. Parents who have experienced hospitalisation have expressed a desire for their parenting identity to be recognized and appropriately engaged with during their treatment. This recognition includes provision of interventions which support them as parents to limit the impact of their mental health on their children. The current study, the first of its kind known to have taken place, details a collaborative intervention development project for parents receiving inpatient care.MethodsThe current study, the first of its kind known to have taken place, details a collaborative intervention development project for parents receiving inpatient care. This project involved the adaptation and extension of a prior parenting-focused course for parents high in anxiety to meet the needs of parents being treated in inpatient settings. In the first two stages of the three-phase project, patients, carers and mental health practitioners contributed to the revision and delivery plan for the course including developing new content for the intervention. In the final stage, which took the form of a participatory evaluation, the intervention was delivered to 11 parents receiving inpatient treatment who then provided extensive feedback. A series of iterative adaptations to the intervention were made in response to this feedback alongside stakeholder input.ResultsThe final intervention comprises five modules focused on exploring the experience of parents alongside specific learning and skills orientated toward boosting their connection with their children during hospitalisation and in readiness for discharge. Preliminary feedback from patients and ward staff has been positive and the process of delivering the project on inpatient wards was associated with no increase in negative clinical outcomes.DiscussionThe successful development of a targeted intervention within inpatient psychiatric units offers a signal that parents treated in this setting welcome the opportunity to be supported in their parenting role. As the first known UK intervention of its kind to be developed in partnership with patients, ward staff and management, it is specifically tailored to the context and needs of this group with the potential to be delivered by a range of health professionals in this setting.

IntroductionThis study investigated the long-term prevalence of, and factors associated with, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among the bereaved families of the Sewol ferry disaster, in which 250 students lost their lives during a school excursion.MethodsEight years after the disaster, 181 family members were surveyed, and the prevalence of clinical PTSD symptoms was estimated. The Positive Resources Test (POREST), the Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire, and the Brief COPE were evaluated using self-report measures. The multivariable binomial logistic regression was used to identify protective and risk factors for PTSD.ResultsPTSD symptoms were present in 49.7% of the family members 8 years after the incident. A one-point increase in the score on the optimism subscale of the POREST was associated with a 20.1% decreased likelihood of having clinical PTSD symptoms (OR = 0.799; p = 0.027; 95% CI = 0.655–0.975). Conversely, a one-point increase in the score on the avoidant subscale of Brief COPE was associated with a 13.2% increased likelihood of having clinical PTSD symptoms (OR = 1.132; p = 0.041; 95% CI = 1.005–1.274).DiscussionOur results provide evidence of the need for long-term mental health monitoring of bereaved families of disaster victims, along with valuable insights for the development of mental health intervention programs.

BackgroundBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent condition in older men, causing significant morbidity. Despite recent progress, essential concerns of the disease remain under-researched. This study aims to assess knowledge and estimate self-reported prevalence of BPH in Saudi Arabian men. Understanding BPH prevalence in Saudi Arabia is essential for healthcare planning, resource allocation, public awareness, early detection, intervention, research, and addressing regional variations.MethodA cross-sectional study was conducted from February to May 2022 using a validated questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate statistical methods assessed knowledge of BPH among 559 adult Saudi men (mean age: 47.2 years) and its association with demographic variables.ResultsThe self-reported prevalence rate of BPH for Saudi Arabian men was 12.0%. Most adults (74.2%) were aware that BPH is a risk factor for prostate cancer and 75% were aware of the increased risk of BPH in older people. Furthermore, 44.5% of participants associated nocturia with BPH, while 76.6% related urinary tract infection (UTI) with BPH. The study demonstrated a significant association between BPH awareness and marital status (p = 0.02), level of education (p = 0.02), and employment status (p = 0.04).ConclusionWhile men in Saudi Arabia generally had sufficient knowledge about BPH, there was a knowledge gap regarding certain risk factors like obesity and cardiac diseases. To address this, an educational program should be developed for both the general population and those at high risk of BPH.

BackgroundEstimating the global influenza burden in terms of hospitalization and death is important for optimizing prevention policies. Identifying risk factors for mortality allows for the design of strategies tailored to groups at the highest risk. This study aims to (a) describe the clinical characteristics of hospitalizations with a diagnosis of influenza over five flu seasons (2016–2017 to 2020–2021), (b) assess the associated morbidity (hospitalization rates and ICU admissions rate), mortality and cost of influenza hospitalizations in different age groups and (c) analyze the risk factors for mortality.MethodsThis retrospective study included all hospital admissions with a diagnosis of influenza in Spain for five influenza seasons. Data were extracted from the Spanish National Surveillance System for Hospital Data from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2021. We identified cases coded as having influenza as a primary or secondary diagnosis (International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, J09-J11). The hospitalization rate was calculated relative to the general population. Independent predictors of mortality were identified using multivariable logistic regression.ResultsOver the five seasons, there were 127,160 hospitalizations with a diagnosis of influenza. The mean influenza hospitalization rate varied from 5/100,000 in 2020–2021 (COVID-19 pandemic) to 92.9/100,000 in 2017–2018. The proportion of influenza hospitalizations with ICU admission was 7.4% and was highest in people aged 40–59 years (13.9%). The case fatality rate was 5.8% overall and 9.4% in those aged 80 years or older. Median length of stay was 5 days (and 6 days in the oldest age group). In the multivariable analysis, independent risk factors for mortality were male sex (odds ratio [OR] 1.14, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.08–1.20), age (&lt;5 years: OR 1; 5–19 years: OR 2.02, 95%CI 1.17–3.49; 20–39 years: OR 4.11, 95% CI 2.67–6.32; 40–59 years: OR 8.15, 95% CI 5.60–11.87; 60–79 years: OR 15.10, 95% CI 10.44–21.84; ≥80 years: OR 33.41, 95% CI 23.10–48.34), neurological disorder (OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.83–2.11), heart failure (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.74–1.96), chronic kidney disease (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.25–1.41), chronic liver disease (OR 2.95, 95% CI 2.68–3.27), cancer (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.48–2.24), coinfection with SARS-CoV2 (OR 3.17, 95% CI 2.34–4.28), influenza pneumonia (OR 1.76, 95% CI 1.66–1.86) and admission to intensive care (OR 7.81, 95% CI 7.31–8.36).ConclusionInfluenza entails a major public health burden. People aged over 60—and especially those over 80—show the longest hospital stays. Age is also the most significant risk factor for mortality, along with certain associated comorbidities.
Comprehensive Characterization of fucAO Operon Activation in Escherichia coli

Published: April 2024

Wildtype Escherichia coli cells cannot grow on L-1,2-propanediol, as the fucAO operon within the fucose (fuc) regulon is thought to be silent in the absence of L-fucose. Little information is available concerning the transcriptional regulation of this operon. Here, we first confirm that fucAO operon expression is highly inducible by fucose and is primarily attributable to the upstream operon promoter, while the fucO promoter within the 3′-end of fucA is weak and uninducible. Using 5′RACE, we identify the actual transcriptional start site (TSS) of the main fucAO operon promoter, refuting the originally proposed TSS. Several lines of evidence are provided showing that the fucAO locus is within a transcriptionally repressed region on the chromosome. Operon activation is dependent on FucR and Crp but not SrsR. Two Crp-cAMP binding sites previously found in the regulatory region are validated, where the upstream site plays a more critical role than the downstream site in operon activation. Furthermore, two FucR binding sites are identified, where the downstream site near the first Crp site is more important than the upstream site. Operon transcription relies on Crp-cAMP to a greater degree than on FucR. Our data strongly suggest that FucR mainly functions to facilitate the binding of Crp to its upstream site, which in turn activates the fucAO promoter by efficiently recruiting RNA polymerase.

Published: April 2024

Relevance. The increasing prevalence of plaque-induced gingivitis among the working-age population worldwide is leading to more cases of tooth loss and diminished quality of life, highlighting the need for early intervention in periodontal inflammation. Given the rising resistance of periodontal flora to pharmacological treatments and the potential for macroorganism sensitization, exploring the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions that stimulate adaptive mechanisms in periodontal tissues becomes crucial for managing plaque-induced gingivitis effectively.Materials and Methods. This investigation details the findings from young adults who consented to participate after being informed about the study's protocol. The focus was on evaluating the clinical and functional health of intact periodontal tissues showing early signs of inflammation at the beginning of the treatment, upon completion, and one month after treatment. In addition to standard periodontal treatment, subjects in the experimental cohort underwent daily vacuum laser therapy sessions using a 650 nm wavelength red laser at a pulse rate of up to 10 Hz. Functional monitoring was performed utilizing vital computer capillaroscopy and dynamic vacuum sampling to evaluate capillary resistance in the microcirculation of periodontal tissues.Results. Vacuum laser therapy demonstrated significant therapeutic benefits in treating plaque-induced gingivitis, notably reducing the diameter of capillaries by approximately 14.5%. This reduction was attributed to enhanced capillary resistance and normalized microvascular wall permeability. Notably, the time to petechial formation doubled following dosed vacuum application to periodontal tissues, indicating enhanced reticuloendothelial system activity and capillary network regeneration. Patient assessments using the oral health index showed notable improvements in oral hygiene and the absence of inflammation signs.Conclusion. The study's results affirm the effectiveness of combining vacuum laser therapy with conventional treatment modalities for plaque-induced gingivitis, highlighting its benefits in improving periodontal health without relying on pharmacological interventions.
Development of diabetes complications within coordinated and structured primary health care: a 10-year retrospective cohort study in Germany
Authors: Karimova Kateryna , Friedmacher Catriona Mairi , Lemke Dorothea , Glushan Anastasiya 
Published: April 2024

Background
Diabetes mellitus is a growing, costly, and potentially preventable public health issue. In 2004, Germany introduced the GP-centred healthcare programme to strengthen primary care.

Aim
To assess the hazards of the most common diabetes-related complications in patients enrolled in GP-centred health care in comparison with usual primary care.

Design & setting
A retrospective cohort study based on German claims data (4 million members) from 2011–2020.

Method
In total, 217 964 patients with diabetes were monitored from 2011–2020. Endpoints were blindness, amputation, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary heart disease, dialysis, hypoglycaemia, and all-cause mortality. Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used for multivariable analysis and adjusted for sociodemographic, practice, and disease-specific characteristics.

Results

Compared with usual care (
n
= 98 609 patients), GP-centred health care (
n
= 119 355 patients) showed a relative risk reduction of blindness of 12%, and amputation of 20% over 10 years. The estimated impact of GP-centred health care on myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary artery disease, dialysis, and all-cause mortality is significantly favourable in comparison with usual care. However, the proportional risk of hypoglycaemia (+1.2%) in the interventional group is higher than in usual care.

Conclusion
Enrolment in GP-centred health care appears to result in a consistent reduction of the relative risk of diabetes-related complications over 10 years. The significant difference in contrast to usual care may be explained by robust, structured primary care provision, including the diabetes disease management programme, and improved coordination and networking of care within primary and secondary care.

Published: April 2024

AbstractDefocusing digital particle image velocimetry is a method developed within the field of fluidics to measure the velocities of particles within a volume through image analysis. For three-dimensional (3D) tracking, approaches utilizing defocusing techniques have been proposed to enable depthwise positional measurements. Recently, there have been suggestions to simplify this approach by employing a triple pinhole mask and to further enhance it with color filters that allow distinguish particles, even under dense conditions. This paper presents an attempt to apply the defocusing method using a triple pinhole mask with red, green, and blue (RGB) color-coding filters, demonstrating the successful label-free 3D tracking of biological micro-objects at multiple positions within a volume. The application of this method in fluidics and its potential for biological analysis are highlighted through successful examples of 3D tracking involving micro-particles influenced by motor proteins, dividing cells, and swimming microorganisms.
The local potential variation mapping including thermoelectromotive force in nanocomposite materials under non-thermal equilibrium

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Thermoelectric nanocomposite materials are attracting much attention due to their high thermoelectric performance brought by effectively combining thermoelectric properties of the matrix and introduced nanostructures. However, understanding the mechanism of Seebeck coefficient enhancement brought in nanocomposite materials is difficult because there are no measurement methods of thermoelectromotive force V
TE on the nanoscale. In this study, we demonstrate that the controlled temperature gradient Kelvin force microscopy (T-KFM) measurement we developed in 2021 can be applied to nanocomposite films. We observe temperature difference ΔT-induced vacuum level V
vac variation, which is related to V
TE, in PEDOT:PSS/Si nanowire nanocomposite films using T-KFM. The large ΔT-induced V
vac variation at the tops of Si nanowires is generated, which is mainly explained by the larger Seebeck coefficient value of the Si nanowire. This application of T-KFM to the nanocomposites highlights that T-KFM will be a powerful tool for the development of nanocomposite materials with controlled thermoelectric properties on the nanoscale.
