BackgroundA specialized diet could be due to an allergy or other medical needs and also religious or cultural reasons. This study aimed to assess the availability and provision of special diets in kindergartens and nurseries financed by the Municipality of Kraków.MethodsThis observational cross-sectional study was based on a diagnostic survey carried out using the Computer-Assisted Web Interview method and addressed to the managers of nurseries (n = 21) and kindergartens (n = 71) and, separately, to the parents of children attending these facilities (n = 1,096). Non-parametric tests were applied for an unadjusted comparison between children at nurseries and those at kindergartens.ResultsChildren with particular dietary requirements received special diet meals in 95.2% of nurseries and 60.5% of kindergartens. The availability of special diets was associated with the type of facility (p = 0.001), the number of children who ate in the facility (p = 0.032), and the daily cost of meals served to children (p = 0.009). The cost of meals was higher in kindergartens that offered special diets vs. those that did not offer such diets (p &lt; 0.001). According to parents, 96.4% of the total number of children ate meals served in the facilities. In nurseries, 16.1% of children were on a special diet (as per the doctor’s recommendations in 11.7% of cases and according to parents’ own choice in 4.4%). In kindergartens, a special diet was served to 12.7% of children (doctor’s recommendations, 8.5%; parents’ own choice, 4.2%). The most common reason for using a special diet was food allergy (8.2% of children in nurseries and 5.8% of children in kindergartens). It was reported more often by the parents of children attending nurseries than by the parents of children attending kindergartens (8.0% vs. 4.2%, p = 0.007). The requirement for a special diet was found to be associated with the age of children (p &lt; 0.033) and the use of oral treatment for chronic disease (p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionProviding special diets for children is better in nurseries than in kindergartens. Legal regulations are urgently needed to ensure equal access to adequate nutrition for all children with special dietary needs in childcare facilities.

ObjectivesTo evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture in relieving symptoms (dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, pelvic pain and dyschezia) intensity, improving functional disability, reducing the number of days per months of dysmenorrhea, the frequency and the efficacy of analgesic use in deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). The safety profile was also evaluated.MethodsThe study sample was 34 patients with DIE; for 2 months (T-2, T-1) the women recorded diary notes on the numbers of days of menstruation, the presence, intensity, and disability related to dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, pelvic pain, and dyschezia. They then received a total of 15 acupuncture treatments over 6 months (T1–T6; once a week for 12 weeks, then once a month for 3 months).ResultsDysmenorrhea intensity was decreased during treatment. A decrease of at least 50% in number of days of dysmenorrhea, and a decrease in moderate-to-severe disability starting from T1 to T6 was recorded for 58.6% of patients. Dyspareunia intensity steadily decreased starting at T2; the percentage of women with moderate-to-severe disability declined from 73.3% at T-2, to 36.9% at T3, T4, and T5. A decrease in pelvic pain score was noted starting at T1; the percentage of disability decreased from 83.3% at T-2 to 33.3% at T3 and T6. The intensity of dyschezia decreased from T-2 to T3 and T4 and then increased slightly. Analgesic drug use was lower during treatment and its efficacy appeared to be greater.ConclusionsThe limitations notwithstanding our study-findings show that acupuncture was safe and effective in reducing pain intensity and symptoms-related disability. Larger-scale studies are needed to compare acupuncture and pharmacotherapy for endometriosis-related pain.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate specific clinical diagnostic methods for children with infectious mononucleosis (IM) complicated by acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 171 cases of IM diagnosed in the infectious disease ward of Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2020 and December 2020. All IM patients underwent abdominal ultrasound examinations to assess the liver, gallbladder, and spleen. Fourteen patients with symptoms of AAC underwent a follow-up assessment one week later.ResultsThe estimated incidence of AAC in hospitalized IM children was 8.2%. Both groups of patients presented with fever, abdominal pain, and eyelid edema upon admission. Characteristic radiological findings of AAC were observed, including gallbladder (GB) distention, increased GB wall thickness and increased common bile duct diameter. Analysis of laboratory results revealed no statistically significant differences in leukocyte, absolute lymphocyte count, CD3+, CD3 + CD4+, CD3+ CD8+, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), or Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) levels between the AAC(+) and AAC(−) groups on admission. However, these parameters were not significant risk factors for AAC. After discharge, relevant indicators in non-AAC patients gradually decreased to normal levels, while those in AAC(+) patients did not show a significant decrease.ConclusionWhile cases of IM complicated by AAC are relatively uncommon, the utilization of abdominal ultrasound offers a reliable tool for confirming this diagnosis. Routine abdominal ultrasound examinations are recommended for IM patients to improve early detection and treatment of associated conditions.

Published: March 2024

IntroductionExisting research shows positive associations between humility and well-being, and between civic engagement and well-being. Rarely have humility, civic engagement, and well-being been examined together. We build off of previous cross-sectional findings and a prior longitudinal study that used three waves of data and found significant positive bivariate correlations between humility and the presence of life purpose across time points.MethodsExtending these previous findings, we used six waves of data obtained from graduate students at 18 seminaries across North America (N = 574; Mage = 31.54; 46.7% female; 65.3% White) to explore the dynamic associations among humility and life purpose, along with horizontal transcendence (an indicator of the attitudinal dimension of civic engagement) and social justice activism (an indicator for the behavioral dimension). We explored reciprocal short-run processes and dynamic long-run effects using a general cross-lagged panel model.Results and discussionWe found robust evidence for a reciprocal influence between the presence of life purpose and horizontal transcendence, and long-run effects for initial levels of life purpose to influence later levels of horizontal transcendence. We also found long-run effects for the influence of initial levels of life purpose on later levels of humility, and initial levels of social justice activism on later levels of horizontal transcendence. Implications center on the use of the findings for planning future one-time life purpose and social justice interventions to affect changes in humility and horizontal transcendence.

BackgroundKetamine and esketamine offer a novel approach in the pharmacological treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the placebo response in double-blind, randomized controlled studies (RCTs) on patients with MDD receiving ketamine or esketamine.MethodsFor this systematic review and meta-analysis Medline (PubMed), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PsycInfo and Embase databases were systematically searched for citations published up to March 17, 2023. A total number of 5017 abstracts was identified. Quality of the included trials was assessed with the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. The meta-analysis was performed using a restricted maximum likelihood model. This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42022377591.ResultsA total number of 14 studies and 1100 participants (593 in the medication group and 507 in the placebo group) meeting the inclusion criteria were selected. We estimated the pooled effect sizes of the overall placebo (dpl = -1.85 [CI 95%: -2.9 to -0.79] and overall treatment (dtr = -2.57; [CI 95% -3.36 to -1.78]) response. The overall placebo response accounts for up to 72% of the overall treatment response. Furthermore, we performed subgroup analysis of 8 studies for the for the 7 days post-intervention timepoint. Seven days post-intervention the placebo response (dpl 7d = -1.98 [CI 95%: -3.26 to -0.69]) accounts for 66% of the treatment response (dtr 7d = - 3.01 [CI 95%, -4.28 to -1.74]).ConclusionKetamine and esketamine show large antidepressant effects. However, our findings suggest that the placebo response plays a significant role in the antidepressant response and should be used for the benefit of the patients in clinical practice.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42022377591.
Quand Thémistocle rencontre Pisistrate ou l’anachronisme comme outil à penser chez Élien
Authors: Larran Francis 
Published: March 2024

Les enjeux de la rencontre anachronique entre Thémistocle et Pisistrate rapportée par Élien, Histoire Variée, III, 21 apparaissent au terme de la recontextualisation du micro‑récit dans l’oeuvre du sophiste comme dans les débats intellectuels du IIe et IIIe siècles après J. ‑C. Dans l’Histoire Variée qui ordonne librement les temps anciens, l’anecdote fait figure d’agôn intellectuel où Élien et son public confrontent leur érudition. Elle permet également au sophiste de prendre une position originale dans les débats de son temps sur la place occupée par Thémistocle et Pisistrate dans l’histoire athénienne. Leur rencontre uchronique permet ainsi de montrer qu’ils incarnent tous deux le type historique du dirigeant politique qui s’est détourné, par passion, de la voie de la sagesse qui a guidé ses pas dans sa jeunesse. Caractéristique d’une Seconde Sophistique prompte à repenser l’histoire en fonction de personnages types pour définir l’humanité, la vérité morale de l’anecdote interpelle sans doute les contemporains d’Élien qui se souviennent que les désordres politiques de leur temps ont débuté avec l’arrivée au pouvoir du jeune empereur Commode incapable d’appliquer les sages conseils de son père

Hyperproliferative keratinocytes and subcutaneous inflammation contribute to the characteristic symptoms of psoriasis, including erythema, scales, or scaly plaques on the skin. These symptoms significantly affect patients’ quality of life and cause severe physical and psychological distress. However, current treatment strategies have limited therapeutic effect and may lead to adverse side effects. In this study, we present the novel organic photosensitizer TBTDC [5-(((5-(7-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazol-4-yl)thiophen-2-yl)methylene)amino)-3-methylthiophene-2,4-dicarbonitrile] nanoparticles (NPs) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics to mediate photodynamic therapy (TBTDC NP-PDT) for psoriasis treatment. We demonstrate that TBTDC NPs effectively generate reactive oxygen species upon light irradiation and lead to significant apoptosis of psoriatic keratinocytes. Furthermore, TBTDC NPs exhibit high cellular uptake in diseased keratinocytes and induce endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-mediated autophagy, which can also enhance apoptosis. Importantly, TBTDC NPs show no cytotoxicity toward keratinocytes. These unique properties of TBTDC NPs enable remarkable therapeutic effects against psoriasis-like skin lesions and related inflammation in vivo. Overall, our AIE-active TBTDC NP-PDT represents a promising strategy for treating psoriasis in clinical settings.

Brokers in economic transactions are common jobs undertaken by society. However, in practice, brokers often pose problems, especially for consumers or buyers. It is not uncommon for buyers to find that the price set during the transaction is not the price set by the owner of the goods, but rather a price added by the broker. The significant price difference from the original price becomes a separate problem for the community.
This article aims to explain the practice of brokers in Islam by analyzing the Fatwa DSN MUI NO. 151/DSN-MUI/VI/2022 on Samsarah Contracts. The focus of this article is: What is the nature of brokers in Islam? How does the Fatwa DSN MUI No. 151/DSN-MUI/VI/2022 on Samsarah Contracts play a role in ensuring the legality of broker practices in Indonesia?
In this article, researchers use a research library approach. Primary data sources include literature on brokers in Islam. In Islam, brokerage is considered an allowed practice; a broker aims to provide assistance to both the buyer and the owner of the goods to be sold. Meanwhile, the role of Fatwa DSN MUI NO. 151/DSN-MUI/VI/2022 has outlined the technical implementation of broker services and provided arguments in accordance with Islamic Sharia teachings.

Abstract
Electrically conductive Nb-doped anatase TiO2 (Ti1−x
Nb
x
O2: TNO) films can be fabricated through mist CVD using aqueous precursor solutions of water-soluble oxo-peroxo-glycolato titanium complex and ammonium niobium oxalate. Post-deposition annealing in vacuum crystallizes the as-deposited amorphous films into a conductive anatase phase, leading to the fabrication of conductive TNO films. Notably, the addition of H2O2 to the precursor solutions enhances both the crystallinity and conductivity of the annealed TNO films. A Ti0.77N0.23O2 film, annealed at 700 °C, exhibits a resistivity of 2.0 × 10−2 Ω cm at ambient temperature. In general, the solution-based fabrication of TiO2 films relies on organic solvents, which are sometimes toxic and explosive. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that conductive TNO films can be prepared from less toxic and nonflammable aqueous solutions. These findings mark a significant advancement towards a more environmentally compatible process for fabricating TNO films with sufficient conductivity.

Thinking computationally in translational psychiatry. A commentary on Neville et al. (2024)
Authors: Yamamori Yumeya , Robinson Oliver J. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThere is a growing focus on the computational aspects of psychiatric disorders in humans. This idea also is gaining traction in nonhuman animal studies. Commenting on a new comprehensive overview of the benefits of applying this approach in translational research by Neville et al. (Cognitive Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience 1–14, 2024), we discuss the implications for translational model validity within this framework. We argue that thinking computationally in translational psychiatry calls for a change in the way that we evaluate animal models of human psychiatric processes, with a shift in focus towards symptom-producing computations rather than the symptoms themselves. Further, in line with Neville et al.'s adoption of the reinforcement learning framework to model animal behaviour, we illustrate how this approach can be applied beyond simple decision-making paradigms to model more naturalistic behaviours.
