Mental health in children with disabilities and their families: red flags, services' impact, facilitators, barriers, and proposed solutions
Authors: Heslon Kayla , Hanson Jessica Helena , Ogourtsova Tatiana 
Published: February 2024

BackgroundChildren and youth with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) and their caregivers are at a high risk of experiencing mental health challenges, that in turn can significantly affect their functioning, productivity, and quality of life. In this already vulnerable population, mental health difficulties are now more frequently reported and pronounced secondary to the isolation and uncertainties experienced during the pandemic. Our previous work has shown important mental health services' gaps for children/youth with NDDs and their families, highlighting the need to optimize and tailor existing practices.ObjectiveTo explore mental health services' barriers, facilitators, impact, and solutions from the perspectives of HCPs and CGs, and to describe common precursors to mental health challenges in children with NDDs from the perspectives of these two groups.MethodsIn a triangulation mixed-method study design embedding quantitative and qualitative approaches, participants completed a survey and a semi-structured interview. Descriptive statistics and a hybrid inductive/deductive thematic approach were used for data analysis.ResultsOver 700 utterances were analyzed (247 from caregivers [n = 10], 531 from clinicians [n = 16]) and included 143 and 173 statements related to the precursors and barriers/facilitators, respectively. Common precursors to mental health challenges (n = 7 categories) were identified and included reported feelings/perception of self, behavioral and physical manifestations, emotional dysregulation, and school-related factors, among others. Clinicians reported a widespread need for pediatric, family-centered mental health services and conveyed lacking mental health resources/training to meet the demand. Caregivers indicated being only moderately satisfied when care was received. Salient facilitators identified by clinicians were having an interdisciplinary team and caregiver's engagement in the therapeutic processes. Participants recommended improvements to increase accessibility to mediate the existing discrepancy between the emergence of precursors and care received; that services must target a broader population and be more comprehensive (e.g., family-centered care, addressing high-risk transition periods); and training/toolkits to support clinicians’ evidence-based practice.ConclusionOur findings emphasize the necessity of a systematic and standardized approach to mental health services for children with NDDs and their families. Enhancing caregiver support, addressing barriers, and adopting a proactive, family-centered approach are crucial for improving accessibility and quality. These proposed solutions provide valuable insights for shaping policies and practices in pediatric mental health services.
Optical water characterization and atmospheric correction assessment of estuarine and coastal waters around the AERONET-OC Bahia Blanca

Published: February 2024

The site AERONET-OC Bahía Blanca (BB-AERONET-OC) is located at the mouth of the Bahía Blanca Estuary, Argentina (Southwestern Atlantic Ocean), a coastal system defined by its high suspended loads and relatively low colored dissolved organic matter. The typically high turbidity of these waters makes the BB-AERONET-OC distinctive within the AERONET-OC network stations, providing exceptional opportunities not only for the validation of atmospheric correction algorithms but also for the development of regional algorithms for coastal complex waters. A SeaWiFS Photometer Revision for Incident Surface Measurements (SeaPRISM) instrument was deployed in January 2020 in the upper rail of a Mareograph Tower, a 15 m tall structure, located 10 miles away from the coast in optically deep waters. In this work we used the remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) derived from the BB-AERONET-OC measurements along with in situ hyperspectral radiometric data to classify optical water types (OWTs). We assigned each Rrs(λ) spectra to one of the five OWTs defined by Tran et al., and OWTs were further characterized with the concentrations of optically significant components (chlorophyll-a and suspended particulate matter) and inherent optical properties (absorptions of phytoplankton, non-algal particles, and dissolved organic matter), retrieved from water samples obtained simultaneously with radiometric spectra. Based on a match-up exercise with in situ data, different schemes of atmospheric correction methods were applied to Sentinel-3 Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) images. The operational product OLCI Level 2 European Space Agency (ESA) standard (hereafter referred to as “Standard Neural Network (NN)”) proves to be the most suitable atmospheric correction algorithm, which was then used to describe spatial patterns and temporal variability of the different OWTs in the region. The BB-AERONET-OC site is located in a sharp transition between estuarine and coastal waters that present contrasting optical conditions: OWT 4 dominates over time (73.72% of the observations), followed by OWT 3 (24.74%) and OWT 5 (1.53%). OWTs 4 and 5 are associated with turbid waters of the Bahía Blanca Estuary, especially OWT 5, which typifies the very turbid waters from the inner estuary, with the particulate load dominated by mineral sediments and detritus. OWT 3, in turn, depicts the eutrophic coastal waters of the inner shelf. The variability of OWTs and the relative contribution of organic and inorganic compounds to the suspended material would be mostly related with the prevalence of northwest winds in the area, which would drive the export of estuarine sediments to the shelf.

Published: February 2024

Screening of Bacillus with antagonistic effects on paddy mold pathogens to provide strain resources for biological control of mold in Oryza sativa L. screening of Bacillus isolates antagonistic towards Aspergillus tubingensis from rhizosphere soil of healthy paddy; classification and identification of antagonistic strains by biological characteristics and 16S rDNA sequence analysis; transcriptome sequencing after RNA extraction from Bacillus-treated Aspergillus tubingensis; and extraction of inhibitory crude proteins of Bacillus by ammonium sulfate precipitation; inhibitory crude protein and Bacillus spp. were treated separately for A. tubingensis and observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). An antagonistic strain of Bacillus, named B7, was identified as Paenibacillus polymyxa by 16S rDNA identification and phylogenetic evolutionary tree comparison analysis. Analysis of the transcriptome results showed that genes related to secondary metabolite biosynthesis such as antifungal protein were significantly downregulated. SEM results showed that the mycelium of A. tubingensis underwent severe rupture after treatment with P. polymyxa and antifungal proteins, respectively. In addition, the sporocarp changed less after treatment with P. polymyxa, and the sporangium stalks had obvious folds. P. polymyxa B7 has a good antagonistic effect against A. tubingensis and has potential for biocontrol applications of paddy mold pathogens.

Published: February 2024

Chimonanthus praecox is an aromatic plant that flowers in winter. The composition of the floral volatiles of C. praecox is influenced by different blooming stages, circadian rhythms and species. However, the relationship between floral volatiles and plant endophytic fungi has not received much research attention. Here, we used high-throughput sequencing technology to compare and analyze the changes in the structure and diversity of the endophytic fungal communities in C. praecox under different circadian rhythms (7:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m.) and in different blooming stages (unopened flowers and opened flowers). The endophytic fungi of C. praecox consisted of nine phyla, 34 classes, 79 orders, 181 families, 293 genera, and 397 species, and Ascomycota was the dominant phylum. Under a diurnal rhythm, the diversity (Chao1 and Shannon indices) of endophytic fungi gradually decreased in the unopened flowers, while an increasing and then decreasing trend was found for the opened flowers. In the different blooming stages, the endophytic fungal diversity was significantly higher at 7:00 a.m. in the unopened flowers compared to the opened flowers. Humidity was the key factors that significantly affected the endophytic fungal diversity and community. Moreover, 11 endophytic fungi were significantly positively or negatively correlated with seven floral volatiles. In conclusion, the community structure and diversity of endophytic fungi in C. praecox were affected by the different blooming stages and circadian rhythms, and a correlation effect related to floral volatiles was found, but there are other possible reasons that were not tested. This study provides a theoretical basis for elucidating the interrelationships between endophytic fungi, floral volatiles, and environmental factors in C. praecox.
On the Analytic Extension of Lauricella–Saran’s Hypergeometric Function FK to Symmetric Domains
Authors: Dmytryshyn Roman , Goran Vitaliy 
Published: February 2024

In this paper, we consider the representation and extension of the analytic functions of three variables by special families of functions, namely branched continued fractions. In particular, we establish new symmetric domains of the analytical continuation of Lauricella–Saran’s hypergeometric function FK with certain conditions on real and complex parameters using their branched continued fraction representations. We use a technique that extends the convergence, which is already known for a small domain, to a larger domain to obtain domains of convergence of branched continued fractions and the PC method to prove that they are also domains of analytical continuation. In addition, we discuss some applicable special cases and vital remarks.

The Outcomes of Trabeculectomy following Anti-VEGF Treatments in Neovascular Glaucoma : A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Dewi Ni Putu Ayu Pande Arista 
Published: February 2024

Introduction
Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a secondary glaucoma that potentially causes blindness due to proliferation of fibrovascular tissue in the anterior chamber angle. Ischemia in retinal triggers a cascade of various angiogenic factors including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-6 which lead to neovascularization. It was known that anti-VEGF inhibits the primary mediators of neovascularization and control intraocular pressure (IOP) in NVG.
Objective
To summarize outcome of anti-VEGF with trabeculectomy and applied in clinical practice.
Methods
PRISMA guideline was followed and analyzed the comparison with Revman (version 5.4). We used databases and professional websites published on eye conditions between 2013-2023 in English. All interventional and observational studies with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used. Risk of bias was measured using funnel plot. Outcomes measured were IOP, Best Corrected Visual Acquity (BCVA), neovascularization iris (NVI) recurrence before and after trabeculectomy.
Result
Six studies (199 eyes) showed a significant difference in IOP (MD=25.84, 95%CI 24.08-27.60, p< 0.00001) and NVI recurrence (RD=0.94, 95%CI 0.86-1.01, p<0.00001). While four studies (143 eyes) found there was a significant difference in BCVA (MD=0.21, 95%CI 0.06-0.37, p=0.008). The result of NVI should be interpreted with caution and not considered as definitive statement since the data was moderately heterogenic (I2=68% p=0.009).
Conclusion
It could be concluded there was a significant difference in IOP, BCVA, and NVI recurrence after given anti-VEGF with trabeculectomy. We could not conclude which anti-VEGF gave better result since there were lack of studies, low of studies quality, and heterogen data for NVI recurrence.
