What women want to hear: the helpful and unhelpful comments reported by women struggling with infertility amidst the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Balsom Ashley A. , Dube Loveness , Gordon Jennifer L. 
Published: February 2025

Introduction
Many women struggling with infertility report that they frequently experience unhelpful social interactions with well-meaning loved ones and healthcare providers, contributing to a reluctance to confide in others about their infertility and emotional distress. However, it remains unclear what interaction content women experience as ‘helpful’ versus ‘unhelpful,’ making it difficult to provide concrete recommendations to the public about how best to support individuals struggling with infertility.

Methodology
Eighty women from Canada and the United States (ages 20–45 years) whose fertility treatments had been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic were recruited via social media to complete an online survey, which included two open-ended questions about the most helpful and unhelpful social interactions they had had about their infertility. Two independent researchers conducted content analysis to identify categories of helpful and unhelpful social interactions.

Results
The following six categories were identified by women as helpful: 1) Listening, 2) Fostering hope, 3) Talking to individuals with lived experience, 4) Distraction, 5) Validating emotions, and 6) Tangible support. Responses about unsupportive interactions fell into four categories: 1) Toxic positivity, 2) Advice-giving, 3) Invalidation, and 4) Intruding. Sample quotes from each category are provided.

Conclusion
These findings provide valuable insights that can be used to develop future educational materials for the general public on how to interact with individuals experiencing infertility.

Introduction
Body dissatisfaction can be affect adolescents’ mental health, leading to issues with body weight control, low self-esteem, and poor school performance.

Methods
A total of 24 interviews with adolescents, parents, and teachers in Spain were conducted for this study. The study aimed to explore and compare the views of adolescents, parents, and teachers regarding interventions to improve self-esteem and positive body image in school-aged adolescents. A generic qualitative study design with purposive sampling was used, and the data was thematically analyzed.

Results
Key barriers identified included lack of family communication, unfavourable family environments, and insufficient training. Social media and gender stereotypes, along with social rejection, were major challenges for adolescents. Facilitators included family involvement and using role models as a strategy. Proposed interventions focused on individual and group recreational activities starting at an early age, engaging adolescents in activities of interest, and promoting collaboration with families.

Conclusion
This study identified barriers and facilitators proposing multi-level interventions that engage adolescents, families, educational institutions, and the community. Strengthening facilitators and reducing barriers should guide future public health policies.

Public contribution
These findings may be useful for developing multilevel interventions aimed at improving body image and self-esteem, which could, in turn, prevent and reduce the severity of clinical disorders during adolescence.
Evaluating refrigeration and antibiotic treatment for maintaining urine electrophysiology
Authors: Hoque Rashedul , Labeed Fatima H. , Cirovic Srdjan , Hughes Michael Pycraft 
Published: February 2025

Background
Electrophysiological analysis of urine has shown utility in differentiating between healthy and bladder cancer specimens, offering a rapid, label-free alternative to molecular methods. However, transporting and preserving urine samples from collection to the laboratory poses logistical challenges that could impact the reliability of electrophysiological measurements.

Objective
This study investigates the effects of prolonged refrigeration on the dielectric properties and ζ-potential of urine specimens and evaluate whether antibiotic treatment can enhance sample preservation without altering electrophysiological properties. A new methodology to evaluate urine specimen quality and determine bacterial contamination, using electrophysiological modalities, is presented.

Methods
Mid-stream urine samples from healthy participants (n =  4) were collected and divided into untreated and 1% penicillin/streptomycin-treated groups. Samples were analysed at baseline prior to storage at 4°C, with further analysis every 24 hours for 96 hours. Changes in dielectrophoresis (DEP) response and ζ-potential were measured using a 3DEP cytometer (Deparator, UK) and Malvern Panalytical Zetasizer Nano ZS90 (Malvern, UK), respectively. Chemical analyses, including pH and nitrite levels, and microscopic examinations were also conducted.

Results & Limitations
Significant electrophysiological changes were observed in both untreated and antibiotic-treated urine samples over time. Both groups showed a linear increase of change in DEP response and ζ-potential values, from baseline over time. Untreated samples exhibited significant deviations in DEP and ζ-potential from baseline after 48 hours, with significance at 72 hours (P < 0.05). Treated samples only showed significant changes in ζ-potential at 96 hours (P < 0.05). Chemical analysis indicated increased pH and nitrite presence in untreated samples at 48 hours, indicating bacterial growth. Treated samples took more than 48 hours to show changes in both chemical parameters. Limitations include the relatively small study sample size, not evaluating the preservatory effects of UTI-specific antibiotics, such as nitrofurantoin and trimethoprim, and exploring different drug concentrations.

Conclusion
Prolonged refrigeration can maintain the quality of urine samples for up to 48 hours with antibiotic treatment. Current UK and European guidelines recommend urinalysis within 24 hours of specimen collection; the findings of this study support the use of DEP and ζ-potential analysis as practical clinical tests in a mail-in screening setting, provided appropriate sample preservation measures are taken.
Prevalence and determinants of effective breastfeeding technique among early postpartum mothers in Fuzhou, China: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Mawi Neema E. , Rong-Fang Hu , Paulo Heavenlight A. , Chen Na , Liu Gui-Hua , Abba-Aji Mohammed 
Published: February 2025

Background
Breastfeeding technique (BFT) is determined by the mother’s and infant’s positioning, the infant’s attachment to the breast, and the infant’s suckling behavior. Understanding breastfeeding mothers’ skills is crucial for clinical practice and for designing interventions to improve breastfeeding practices. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of effective BFT among early post-partum mothers.

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study among 415 early post-partum mothers in Fuzhou, China. Participants were recruited using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and a standardized observational checklist (WHO B-R-E-A-S-T Feed observation form). Descriptive statistics were used to assess the prevalence of effective BFT, and logistic regression was applied to identify its determinants.

Results
The overall prevalence of effective BFT was 70.4%. After adjusting for potential confounders, the prevalence ratio (PR) of effective BFT was greater among participants with college (PR = 1.20) and postgraduate education (PR = 1.41) compared to those with a technical education or lower. Participants who attended antenatal care (ANC) (PR = 1.04) and those with BFT knowledge (PR = 1.37) were more likely to practice effective BFT compared to participants who did not attend ANC and without such knowledge respectively. Similarly, those who received BFT counseling during pregnancy or immediately after delivery were 25% and 30%, respectively, more likely to practice effective EBT than those who did not. Conversely, experiencing breast problems was associated with a 42% lower likelihood of practicing effective BFT than those without breast problems.

Conclusion
Effective BFT is prevalent among early postpartum mothers in Fuzhou, China, with education level, antenatal care attendance, knowledge, and counseling playing significant roles in its practice. Efforts to improve breastfeeding outcomes should focus on enhancing educational interventions and providing targeted counseling during pregnancy and the immediate postpartum period, while addressing breast health issues to mitigate their impact on breastfeeding effectiveness.

Witches‘ broom of peanut caused by phytoplasma is a common disease found in Indonesia. Phytoplasma is able to be detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. One of important factor which determine the successful of phytoplasma amplification is the DNA availability from fresh tissues. The research was aimed to evaluate some preservation methods of phytoplasma from infected plant samples. The aspects to be evaluated consisted of time (1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks), temperature (-20 °C, 4 °C, and 25 °C), and preservation medium (1X PGB buffer, 3 M NaCl, CTAB buffer, 70% ethanol, non medium, and FTA-card) for storing the fresh phytoplasma infected samples. Good preservation method will optimize the phytoplasma DNA amplification using PCR standard technique followed by nested-PCR. The results showed that preservation of samples at -20 °C, 4 °C, and 25 °C in CTAB buffer was able to maintain the tissue freshness for 4 weeks and was able to provide the DNA of either quality or quantity sufficiently for PCR detection. PCR standard using a primer pair P1/P7 showed that not all of the preserved DNA of phytoplasma were amplified positively. However, standard PCR followed by nested-PCR using primer pair fU5/rU3 was able to increase the DNA detectability. Preserved samples derived from various medium and stored for 4 weeks gave positive results. This results were in contrary with previous same samples which were detected negatively by standard PCR technique.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Electromagnetic waves are used in wood inspection and treatment. Three important parameters need to be considered in the application of this method, including moisture content (MC), porosity, and dielectric constant (ε), which affect the effectiveness of application of electromagnetic waves, and these parameters can interact with each other. This study’ elucidated the effect of porosity on the ε of wood at different MCs (absolute dry to saturated) in the frequency (f) range of 1 Hz–107 Hz. The results indicated that the porosity on the ε needs to consider both f and MC. Relationships between porosity and ε of absolute dry wood shows opposite patterns in different f bands. When f ≤ 200 Hz, the porosity was positively correlated with ε. When f > 200 Hz, the porosity was negatively correlated with ε. However, the effect of f on ε with the increased of MC was complicated., Correlations with MC, porosity and ε was not significant when f was low. As f increased, the relationship between MC and ε became linear. The results of this study provide a reference for use of ε to detect wood pore characteristics and MC.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objectives
A clinical trial was conducted to address the trend of high cesarean section rates resulting from maternal fear of childbirth. This trial aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-hypnosis in mitigating fear and pain during childbirth.

Methods
This study was a parallel, not blinded, randomized controlled trial conducted in 2019 in Mashhad, Iran. Ninety-three nulliparous women were selected by convenience sampling and randomized by random allocation software (4 blocking groups) to either self-hypnosis or control groups. During the clinical trial, both groups received usual care for pregnancy and childbirth. However, the self-hypnosis group also participated in two hypnosis sessions and was given two audio files to practice self-hypnosis at home until delivery. The follow-up period ranged from the 37th week of pregnancy to the postpartum period. Fear of childbirth was assessed at 39 weeks and at cervical dilatation of 8–10 cm, while labor pain was measured at the same stage of labor as the primary outcomes between two groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16, applying the Independent sample t-test, Mann–Whitney U test, and Chi-square test. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results
Thirty women in the self-hypnosis group, aged 24.96±5.42, and 33 women in the control group, aged 23.63±4.68, completed the study. The average scores of fear of childbirth during pregnancy at 39 weeks (self-hypnosis: 46.46±14.53, control: 73.18±17.91), during the active phase of labor at cervical dilatation of 8–10 cm (self-hypnosis: 40.80±17.37, control: 75.12±19.40), and labor pain at cervical dilatation of 8–10 cm (self-hypnosis: 83.03±16.43, control: 95.36±10.36) were significantly lower in the self-hypnosis group compared to the control group (p<0.001 for all).

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that self-hypnosis could be a more effective intervention than usual care alone for reducing fear and pain during natural childbirth in nulliparous women.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objectives
This study aimed to identify clinical, laboratory, and radiological features that could serve as red flags for diagnosing inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) with hepatic involvement in childhood.

Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 1,237 children from a pediatric metabolism department, with suspected or diagnosed IMDs. Patients with hepatic involvement were divided into two groups: Group 1 (diagnosed with IMDs) and Group 2 (undiagnosed). Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiological data were compared between the groups.

Results
Hepatic involvement was observed in 415 patients (33.5 %), with 206 (49.2 %) diagnosed with IMDs. Group 1 had higher rates of consanguineous marriage and affected siblings. Complex molecule disorders (20.4 %), mitochondrial (16.0 %), and lipid metabolism disorders (16.0 %) were the most common IMDs. Dysmorphic findings were more frequent in Group 1 (28.2 vs. 16.3 %, p=0.004), while diarrhea was less common (4.4 vs. 12.0 %, p=0.005). Ammonia and lactate levels were higher in Group 1 (p<0.001 and p=0.032, respectively). Hepatomegaly was more frequent in Group 1 (53.3 vs. 22.6 %, p<0.001). Pathological abdominal ultrasonography was the only significant multivariate predictor (OR: 89.377, p=0.026). Overall survival was 87.7 %, with no difference between groups.

Conclusions
Consanguineous marriage, affected siblings, dysmorphic findings, absence of diarrhea, and pathological abdominal USG are key predictors of IMDs in hepatic involvement cases.

Novel generalized tempered fractional integral inequalities for convexity property and applications
Authors: Kashuri Artion , Munir Arslan , Budak Hüseyin , Hezenci Fatih 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Inequalities involving fractional operators have also been an active area of research. These inequalities play a crucial role in establishing bounds, estimates, and stability conditions for solutions to fractional integrals. In this paper, firstly we established two new identities for the case of differentiable convex functions using generalized tempered fractional integral operators. By utilizing these identities, some novel inequalities like Simpson-type, Bullen-type, and trapezoidal-type are proved for differentiable s-convex functions. Additionally, from the obtained results, several special cases of the known results for different choices of parameters are recaptured. Finally, some applications to q-digamma and modified Bessel functions are given.
Exploring dynamical features like bifurcation assessment, sensitivity visualization, and solitary wave solutions of the integrable Akbota equation
Authors: Chou Dean , Sagher Azad Ali , Asjad Muhammad Imran , Hamed Yasser Salah 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Akbota equation (AE), as a Heisenberg ferromagnetic-type equation, can be extremely valuable in the study of curve and surface geometry. In this study, we employ the well-known two analytical techniques, the modified Khater method and the new sub-equation approach, to construct the solitary wave solution of AE. Transform the partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation using the wave transformation. The graphical visualization of select wave solutions is carried out using Wolfram Mathematica software. By utilizing appropriate parametric values across various wave velocities, this process unveils the intricate internal structures and provides a comprehensive understanding of wave behavior. The visual representations are rendered in 3D, 2D, and contour surfaces, capturing a range of solitonic phenomena. These include multiple kink solitons, flat kink, kink-peakon, kink solitons, and singular kink solitons, offering detailed insights into the complex dynamics of the system under study. Newly obtained soliton solutions are compared with available soliton solutions in the literature. The new results indicate that these obtained solutions can be a part of completing the family of solutions, and the considered methods are effective, simple, and easy to use. For qualitative assessment, convert the ordinary differential into a dynamical system by using the Galilean transformation to conduct the sensitivity visualization and bifurcation assessment along with phase portraits and chaos analysis of the considered model. Bifurcation analysis is crucial in soliton dynamics, as it influences the behavior and characteristics of solitons in various systems, with the results presented through phase portraits. Sensitivity visualization illustrates how parametric values affect the system’s behavior. The solutions obtained have broad applications in surface geometry and electromagnetism theory. The aim of this study is to enhance the understanding of complex nonlinear dynamics and their relevance in curve and surface geometry.
When God was a Woman꞉ From the Phocaean Cult of Athena to Parmenides’ Ontology
Authors: Montagnino Marco 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The aim of this article is to present a new hermeneutic perspective on Parmenides’ theology, which, it is argued, will also have consequences for our understanding of his ontology. The following interrelated hypotheses are presented for consideration: first, that the anonymous goddess introduced by Parmenides in the proem of his poem is identical to the Phocaean poliadic goddess of Elea, Athena; second, that she is the personification of Parmenides’ tò eón.

Abstract
Spontaneously hyperlipidaemic (Apoeshl) mice were discovered in 1999 as mice lacking apolipoprotein E (ApoE) owing to a mutation in the Apoe gene. However, age-related behavioural changes in commercially available Apoeshl mice have not yet been clarified. The behavioural abnormalities of ApoE-deficient mice, which are genetically modified mice artificially deficient in ApoE, have been investigated in detail, and it has been reported that they can serve as a model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To understand whether Apoeshl mice can also serve as a murine model of AD, it is necessary to investigate age-related behavioural abnormalities in Apoeshl mice. In this study, we conducted a series of behavioural experiments on 7- and 11-month-old Apoeshl mice to investigate the behavioural abnormalities associated with ageing in Apoeshl mice. In this study, 7-month-old Apoeshl mice showed decreased body weight and grip strength compared to age-matched wild-type mice. In the open field test, 7-month-old Apoeshl mice showed increased anxiety-like behaviour compared to wild-type mice, whereas 11-month-old Apoeshl mice showed decreased anxiety-like behaviour. Moreover, Apoeshl mice aged 7 and 11 months had increased serum cholesterol levels. These results indicate that the behaviour of Apoeshl mice changes with age. However, 11-month-old Apoeshl mice did not show a decline in cognitive function or memory ability similar to murine models of AD. Our findings indicate that Apoeshl mice can be used to investigate the function of ApoE in the central nervous system.
Uncanny Resemblances – Prov 9 as an Introduction to Proverbial Thinking
Authors: Ehmer Yannik 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article suggests that Prov 9 serves as an introduction to Prov 10:1–22:16, »dramatizing« it as competing banquets of Wisdom and Folly. Proverbial knowledge allows to discern between the invitations of the two voices. It enables the student of wisdom to navigate a life amidst ambiguities and uncanniness. Proverbial thinking teaches a phenomenological and critical hermeneutics that takes response-ability––i.e. the ability to respond––seriously. The uneducated person (פְּתִי) must learn to which call they should respond. Folly/chaos is therefore an integral part of Wisdom/order.
Forme et fonction de courts récits miraculeux sur Élisée
Authors: Rückl Jan 
Published: February 2025

Résumé
S’inspirant de l’étude classique de V.J. Propp Morphologie du conte, l’article décrit la morphologie abstraite des courts récits miraculeux sur Élisée dans 2 Rois, et procède ensuite à une analyse plus détaillée de certaines de leurs caractéristiques particulières. Malgré leur couleur populaire, ces légendes sont profondément marquées par l’image de la prophétie qui s’est imposée parmi les lettrés judéens aux époques exilique et perse. Il semble donc que ces textes n’aient pas seulement été insérés dans les Rois à l’époque postexilique, mais qu’ils aient aussi été composés à cette époque, même s’ils peuvent contenir quelques motifs anciens.
