Authors: Tan Yi , Shenoy Prakash P. , Sherwood Ben , Shenoy Catherine , Gaddy Melinda , Oehlert Mary E. 
Published: November 2023

The prediction of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has gained a lot of interest in clinical studies. Identifying patients with a high risk of PTSD can guide mental healthcare workers when making treatment decisions. The main goal of this paper is to propose several Bayesian network (BN) models to assess the probability that a veteran has PTSD when first visiting a U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) facility seeking medical care. The current practice is to use a five-question test called PC-PTSD-5. We aim to use the PC-PTSD-5 test, which is currently administered to most incoming new patients, and demographic information, military service history, and medical history. We construct a Bayes information criterion score-based BN, a group L2-regularized BN (GL2-regularized BN), and a naïve Bayes BN to assess the probability that a patient has PTSD. The GL2-regularized BN is a new method for constructing a BN motivated by some of the challenges of analyzing this data set. A secondary goal is to identify which features are important in predicting PTSD. We discover that the following features help compute the probability of PTSD: PC-PTSD-5, service-connected flag, combat flag, agent orange flag, military sexual trauma flag, traumatic brain injury, and age.

Fano-resonance-based plasmonic refractive index sensor with high sensitivity for detection of urea
Authors: Yadav Gaurav Kumar , Metya Sanjeev Kumar 
Published: November 2023

In the recent context of the post-pandemic world, label-free detection has become a crucial technique in various human physiological testing analyses. In this paper, a plasmonic nanosensor is proposed based on a tapered waveguide cavity resonator, which provides label-free detection with high sensitivity for bio-sensing applications. The transmittance curve is studied using the finite difference time domain method. The transmittance curve exhibits dual Fano resonances with the highest sensitivity of 2544.3 nm/RIU. The resultant simulated transmittance values are further validated by comparing them to the theoretical Fano line shape function. Further, the fabrication complexities have been investigated with respect to changes in geometrical parameters such as the change in width of the tapered waveguide and the height of the cavity resonators. Other performance parameters are also calculated such as FOM, Q factor, and detection limit, which come out at values of 40.54RIU−1, 41.7, and 0.024, respectively. Moreover, a biosensing application has been investigated by testing the detection of urea in a human urine sample.
Reflective ultrathin light-sheet microscopy with isotropic 3D resolutions

Published: November 2023

Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) has played an important role in bio-imaging due to its advantages of high photon efficiency, fast speed, and long-term imaging capabilities. The perpendicular layout between LSFM excitation and detection often limits the 3D resolutions as well as their isotropy. Here, we report on a reflective type light-sheet microscope with a mini-prism used as an optical path reflector. The conventional high NA objectives can be used both in excitation and detection with this design. Isotropic resolutions in 3D down to 300 nm could be achieved without deconvolution. The proposed method also enables easy transform of a conventional fluorescence microscope to high performance light-sheet microscopy.

Published: November 2023

BackgroundWomen’s birthing experience is a sensitive indicator of the quality of childbirth care and can impact the physical and mental health of both women and their neonates. Negligible evidence exists on Indian women’s birth experiences and–to the best of authors’ knowledge–no questionnaire has been tested in India for measuring women’s birthing experiences. This study aimed to test the construct validity and reliability of theKannada-translated Revised Childbirth Experience Questionnaire.MethodologyA cross-sectional survey was carried out among postnatal women (n = 251, up to six months postpartum, with a live healthy neonate) who had given birth at a public or private health facility using the Kannada-translated CEQ2 in two districts of Karnataka. Data were collected at participants’ homes after seeking written informed consent. Model fit was determined by Confirmatory Factor Analyses.ResultsThe 4-factor model of the CEQ2 showed good fit after deletion of one item (item 8, subcategory “participation”) with CMIN = 1.33; SRMR = 0.04; GFI = 0.92, CFI = 0.98, TLI = 0.99, RMSEA = 0.037 and p value 0.002). The Cronbach alpha values were acceptable for the four subscales (0.92, 0.93, 0.97, 0.91) as well as for the overall 21-item scale (0.84).ConclusionsTheKannada-translated CEQ2 is a reliable tool to measure the childbirth experiences amongKannada-speaking women and can serve as a reliable ongoing evaluation of women’s birth experiences.
Does women empowerment associate with reduced risks of intimate partner violence in India? evidence from National Family Health Survey-5

Published: November 2023

Background
Women empowerment is commonly believed to be an important factor affecting a woman’s likelihood of facing violence from her intimate partner. Even as countries invest in policies that aim to strengthen women empowerment, studies show that increase in women empowerment does not necessarily decrease intimate partner violence (IPV) against them. Against this paradox, the present study seeks to understand the specific empowerment components that associate with IPV against women in India. It also studies the state-level distribution of the different types of IPV.

Methods
The study analyses state-level data from the National Family Health Survey, India (2019–21). A total of 72,056 women responded to the domestic violence questionnaire. The Dimension Index (DI) was used to compute composite scores for Women Empowerment and for IPV to rank states and Union Territories. The correlation between Women Empowerment and IPV scores was determined using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.

Results
The state of Karnataka had the highest composite score of IPV and also showed the highest burdens of physical, sexual and emotional IPV, while Lakshadweep had the lowest burden. Physical IPV was the most common form of IPV for most states across the country. The states in the western part of India had reduced burdens for all three types of IPV. Three specific components of empowerment, viz. household decision-making and mobile phone ownership significantly associated with reduction of all three types of IPV. Hygienic menstrual practices strongly associated with reduction of sexual and emotional IPV. However, property ownership of women increased risks of all three types of IPV, while employment had no significant association with any type of IPV.

Conclusions
The study found no significant reduction in overall IPV with improvement in women empowerment. However, it identifies components of empowerment that associate with IPV. Household decision-making, ownership of mobile phones, and hygienic menstrual practices associated with a lowered risk. By contrast, owning property increased the risk. The findings of this study would inform future research and intervention that aim to strengthen specific components of women empowerment in India and other low-and-middle-income countries.

Published: November 2023

BackgroundArterial hypertension is one of the most prevalent chronic, non-communicable diseases and the leading preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality worldwide. Although its primary causes and consequences are preventable, it often remains undiagnosed. Consequently, this study aims to determine the prevalence and factors associated with normotensive, diagnosed, and undiagnosed hypertension in adults.MethodsA cross-sectional, population-based study was conducted in Sabaneta, Colombia, between 2021 and 2022, with 286 adults aged 18 and older. Stratified and systematic random sampling methods were employed. The World Health Organization STEP survey and the Perez Rojas test were utilized to assess behavioral risk factors and sedentary lifestyles. Body mass index, waist circumference, and arterial tension were measured using standardized instruments. The prevalence of hypertension was then estimated. Risk factors influencing normotensive, diagnosed, and undiagnosed hypertension were analyzed using multinomial regression. The outcome variable comprised three categories: normotensive (reference category), diagnosed hypertension, and undiagnosed hypertension. The multinomial regression coefficients were exponentiated and are presented as relative risk ratios (RRR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The model was adjusted for sex and sample weight per neighborhood.ResultsThe study revealed a hypertension prevalence of 38.5% and an undiagnosed hypertension rate of 50.9%. Those with undiagnosed hypertension were predominantly adults over 60 years (RRR = 0.68; 95% CI: 0.53–0.86), individuals with an elementary school education (RRR = 1.75; 95% CI: 1.27–2.42), those physically active (RRR = 1.52; 95% CI: 1.22–1.89), without prior diagnoses of chronic comorbidities (RRR = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.12–1.82), and with obesity (RRR = 2.25; 95% CI: 1.63–3.11) or overweight conditions (RRR = 1.70; 95% CI: 1.334–2.15).ConclusionsUndiagnosed hypertension was significant among populations without risk conditions. There is an urgent need for community-based early detection and education strategies to mitigate this issue.

Authors: Sayahi Masoumeh , Nikbina Maryam , Jahangirimehr Azam , Barati Barat 
Published: November 2023

Background and objective
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted every single aspect of life. In addition to being a public health emergency, the COVID-19 outbreak impacted the mental health of individuals, especially pregnant women. This study aimed to examine the mental health status of pregnant women and also the effect of sociodemographic factors on their mental health status during COVID-19 in healthcare centers of Iran.

Methods
This cross-sectional, analytical-descriptive study was conducted among pregnant women referring to healthcare centers in Shoushtar, Iran, in 2021. Multistage cluster sampling was used to select participants. Data were collected using the General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28). Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to examine the association between quantitative variables. A generalized linear model (GLM) was applied to estimate the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable (mental health).

Results
A total of 197 participants with a mean ± SD age of 27.85 ± 6.37 years took part in this study. The total mean score of mental health was estimated at 17.47±8.20. The highest mean ± SD score was, respectively, related to social dysfunction (6.63 ± 2.86), anxiety and insomnia (5.28 ± 3.53), and somatic symptoms (4.17 ± 3.27). Mental health disorder was significantly correlated with participants’ age (R = .223, P = .00), number of pregnancy (gravida) (R = .272, P = .00), number of births (para) (R = 0.272, P = .00), and number of abortions (R = .172, P = .015). About 80% of pregnant women did not reveal impaired mental health conditions or psychological distress, while 19.3% showed scores that indicate probable mental health conditions.

Conclusion
Social dysfunction was the most common mental health problem among pregnant women. It is necessary to pay more attention to the mental health status of pregnant women during a pandemic. Interventions such as practical strategies to promote social support and improve pregnant women’s mental health during pregnancy are highly important.

Published: November 2023

Objective
The present study aims to measure the prevalence of non-disabled frailty and its associated factors among Bangladeshi older adults.

Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted during September and October 2021 among 1,045 Bangladeshi older adults (≥60 years). Telephone interviews, using a semi-structured questionnaire, were undertaken to collect data on participants’ characteristics and level of frailty. The non-disabled frailty was measured using the ‘Frail Non-Disabled (FiND)’ questionnaire. A multinomial logistic regression model assessed the factors associated with frailty among the participants.

Results
Around a quarter of the participants (24.8%) were frail. The multinomial regression analysis showed that older participants aged ≥80 years (RRR = 3.23, 95% CI: 1.41–7.37) were more likely to be frail compared to participants aged 60–69 years. Likewise, the participants living in a large family with ≥4 members (RRR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.01–1.92) were more likely to be frail compared to those living in smaller families. Also, participants having memory or concentration problems (RRR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.12–2.17) were more likely to be frail compared to those who were not suffering from these problems. Moreover, participants whose family members were non-responsive to their day-to-day assistance (RRR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.06–2.03) were more likely to be frail compared to those whose family members were responsive. Furthermore, participants who were feeling lonely (RRR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.07–1.98) were more likely to be frail than their counterparts who were not feeling lonely.

Conclusions
The findings of the present study suggest developing tailored interventions to address the burden of frailty among the older populations in Bangladesh. In particular, providing long-term care and health promotion activities can be of value in preventing frailty and reducing adverse health outcomes among this vulnerable population group.

Published: November 2023

Introduction
Several individuals with post-COVID-19 syndrome referred for pulmonary rehabilitation did not participate. This study aimed to explore individuals’ barriers to participating in posthospitalization COVID-19 rehabilitation.

Materials and methods
This was a qualitative, multicenter study performed using semistructured interviews. This study included 20 individuals hospitalized for COVID-19 who refused to participate in a pulmonary rehabilitation program at a university hospital.

Results
Individuals reported difficulties accessing the rehabilitation center, mainly due to distance, transport costs and conditions, and lack of companions. Health problems (e.g., surgeries, pain, and mobility difficulties) and lack of time due to work, commuting, and household work were also reported. Another reported theme was not perceiving the need for rehabilitation due to feeling well. Minor themes included the need for more information about rehabilitation and a lack of interest, motivation, and medical encouragement.

Conclusion
Individuals hospitalized for COVID-19 faced several barriers to participating in a pulmonary rehabilitation program. These barriers included difficulties in accessing the rehabilitation center, health problems, lack of time, and the perception that rehabilitation was unnecessary. There is a need for actions to overcome these barriers to make the program available to a larger number of individuals.
