BackgroundA handheld optical device was developed to evaluate a newborn's skin maturity by assessing the photobiological properties of the tissue and processing it with other variables to predict early neonatal prognosis related to prematurity. This study assessed the device's ability to predict respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).MethodsTo assess the device's utility we enrolled newborns at childbirth in six urban perinatal centers from two multicenter single-blinded clinical trials. All newborns had inpatient follow-up until 72 h of life. We trained supervised machine learning models with data from 780 newborns in a Brazilian trial and provided external validation with data from 305 low-birth-weight newborns from another trial that assessed Brazilian and Mozambican newborns. The index test measured skin optical reflection with an optical sensor and adjusted acquired values with clinical variables such as birth weight and prenatal corticoid exposition for lung maturity, maternal diabetes, and hypertensive disturbances. The performance of the models was evaluated using intrasample k-parts cross-validation and external validation in an independent sample.ResultsModels adjusting three predictors (skin reflection, birth weight, and antenatal corticoid exposure) or five predictors had a similar performance, including or not maternal diabetes and hypertensive diseases. The best global accuracy was 89.7 (95% CI: 87.4 to 91.8, with a high sensitivity of 85.6% (80.2 to 90.0) and specificity of 91.3% (95% CI: 88.7 to 93.5). The test correctly discriminated RDS newborns in external validation, with 82.3% (95% CI: 77.5 to 86.4) accuracy. Our findings demonstrate a new way to assess a newborn's lung maturity, providing potential opportunities for earlier and more effective care.Trial registrationRBR-3f5bm5 (online access: http://www.ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/rg/RBR-3f5bm5/), and RBR-33mjf (online access: https://ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/rg/RBR-33rnjf/).

ObjectiveThis retrospective analysis aims to assess the efficacy of transesophageal ultrasound-guided patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure in treating migraine in adolescents and compare the therapeutic outcomes of PFO closure for migraine with and without aura.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 86 cases of adolescents (12–20 years old) who underwent PFO closure for migraine at our institution over the past 3 years. The efficacy was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS), headache impact test (HIT)-6, and pediatric migraine disability assessment (PedMIDAS) scores, as well as by assessing the monthly frequency of migraine attacks, duration of each attack, and overall migraine burden. The patients were divided into two groups: an aura group (55 cases) and a non-aura group (31 cases) to investigate difference in therapeutic efficacy between the groups. The effect of residual shunt on migraine burden was assessed.ResultsAmong the 86 patients, 46 (54%) experienced complete remission of migraine, while 71 (83%) achieved a &gt;50% reduction in migraine burden during the one-year follow-up period. Patients in the aura group showed more significant improvements in VAS, HIT-6, and PedMIDAS scores, as well as in monthly migraine attack frequency, duration of each attack, and overall migraine burden, than patients in the non-aura group. Moreover, patients with residual shunt did not exhibit statistically significant differences in therapeutic efficacy compared to patients with complete closure.ConclusionPFO closure can effectively alleviate migraine symptoms in adolescents with migraine with concomitant PFO. The therapeutic efficacy is particularly pronounced for migraine with aura. Furthermore, minor levels of residual shunt have no effect on the improvement in migraine symptoms.

Published: November 2023

IntroductionTrust has emerged as a prevalent construct to describe relationships between people and between people and technology in myriad domains. Across disciplines, researchers have relied on many different questionnaires to measure trust. The degree to which these questionnaires differ has not been systematically explored. In this paper, we use a word-embedding text analysis technique to identify the differences and common themes across the most used trust questionnaires and provide guidelines for questionnaire selection.MethodsA review was conducted to identify the existing trust questionnaires. In total, we included 46 trust questionnaires from three main domains (i.e., Automation, Humans, and E-commerce) with a total of 626 items measuring different trust layers (i.e., Dispositional, Learned, and Situational). Next, we encoded the words within each questionnaire using GloVe word embeddings and computed the embedding for each questionnaire item, and for each questionnaire. We reduced the dimensionality of the resulting dataset using UMAP to visualize these embeddings in scatterplots and implemented the visualization in a web app for interactive exploration of the questionnaires (https://areen.shinyapps.io/Trust_explorer/).ResultsAt the word level, the semantic space serves to produce a lexicon of trust-related words. At the item and questionnaire level, the analysis provided recommendation on questionnaire selection based on the dispersion of questionnaires’ items and at the domain and layer composition of each questionnaire. Along with the web app, the results help explore the semantic space of trust questionnaires and guide the questionnaire selection process.DiscussionThe results provide a novel means to compare and select trust questionnaires and to glean insights about trust from spoken dialog or written comments.

Published: November 2023

IntroductionThis study examined the interplay between parenting styles, empathy, and aggressive behavior in Chinese preschool children aged 3–5 years.MethodsData were collected from 87 participants using the Child Behavior Checklist, Children’s Empathy Quotient, and Parenting Style Questionnaire, and were subsequently analyzed.ResultsThe findings revealed significant age and gender differences in empathy, but not in parenting styles or aggressive behavior. Additionally, a substantial correlation was identified between authoritarian parenting style and aggressive behavior, as well as between children’s empathy levels and aggressive behavior. This indicates that empathy may act as a mediator between parenting style and aggressive behavior.DiscussionOur findings suggest that an authoritarian parenting style influences aggressive behavior both directly and indirectly through its effect on children’s empathy. These results point toward the possibility that an authoritarian parenting style may stifle the development of empathy in preschool children, subsequently heightening their aggressive behavior.

Published: November 2023

IntroductionPre-service teachers should be prepared to face the emotionally demanding situations associated with the profession. The previous literature suggests that two variables are important for managing teaching demands: emotional intelligence (EI) or the ability to perceive, facilitate, understand, and manage emotions and implicit theories (ITs). ITs refer to the beliefs about the malleability of various life domains. Individuals can be divided into incremental theorists (believing that attributes are malleable) and entity theorists (attributes are fixed).ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the influence of ITs of intelligence and EI on self-report and ability EI in a sample of female preschool pre-service teachers.MethodIn total, 224 participants (M = 21.27, SD = 4.72) were assessed on ability EI (performance and self-report instruments), ITs of intelligence, ITs of EI, age, and parental education.ResultsIn our sample, incremental EI—but not intelligence—theories predicted higher scores on self-report and ability EI. In particular, being an incremental theorist of EI predicted 11 and 20% of the variance of the global EI and the managing branch of the ability EI, respectively.ConclusionOur findings suggest the importance of ITs of EI for pre-service teachers’ emotional intelligence and open the door to implementing ITs of EI training in this population. These theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

BackgroundComplementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) interventions may prove to be an attractive option for the treatment of depression. The aim of this scientometric analysis is to determine the global scientific output of research regarding managing depression with CAM and identify the hotspots and frontiers within this theme.MethodsPublications regarding the utilization of CAM for treating depression were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection from 1993 to 2022, and analyzed and visualized by Bibliometrix R-package, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace.ResultsA total of 1,710 publications were acquired. The number of annual publications showed an overall rapid upward trend, with the figure peaking at 179 in 2021. The USA was the leading research center. Totally 2,323 distinct institutions involving 7,638 scholars contributed to the research theme. However, most of the cooperation was limited to within the same country, institution or research team. The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine was the most productive periodical. The CAM therapies of most interest to researchers were acupuncture and body–mind techniques, such as yoga, meditation and mindfulness. Systematic review and meta-analysis are commonly used methods. “Inflammation,” “rating scale” and “psychological stress” were identified as the most studied trend topics recently.ConclusionManaging depression with evidence-based CAM treatment is gaining attention globally. Body–mind techniques and acupuncture are growing research hotspots or emerging trending topics. Future studies are predicted to potentially investigate the possible mechanisms of action underlying CAM treatments in reducing depression in terms of modulation of psychological stress and inflammation levels. Cross-countries/institutes/team research collaborations should be encouraged and further enhanced.

BackgroundThe intricate interplay between human well-being and the surrounding environment underscores contemporary discourse. Within this paradigm, comprehensive environmental monitoring holds the key to unraveling the intricate connections linking population health to environmental exposures. The advent of satellite remote sensing monitoring (SRSM) has revolutionized traditional monitoring constraints, particularly limited spatial coverage and resolution. This innovation finds profound utility in quantifying land covers and air pollution data, casting new light on epidemiological and geographical investigations. This dynamic application reveals the intricate web connecting public health, environmental pollution, and the built environment.ObjectiveThis comprehensive review navigates the evolving trajectory of SRSM technology, casting light on its role in addressing environmental and geographic health issues. The discussion hones in on how SRSM has recently magnified our understanding of the relationship between air pollutant exposure and population health. Additionally, this discourse delves into public health challenges stemming from shifts in urban morphology.MethodsUtilizing the strategic keywords “SRSM,” “air pollutant health risk,” and “built environment,” an exhaustive search unfolded across prestigious databases including the China National Knowledge Network (CNKI), PubMed and Web of Science. The Citespace tool further unveiled interconnections among resultant articles and research trends.ResultsSynthesizing insights from a myriad of articles spanning 1988 to 2023, our findings unveil how SRMS bridges gaps in ground-based monitoring through continuous spatial observations, empowering global air quality surveillance. High-resolution SRSM advances data precision, capturing multiple built environment impact factors. Its application to epidemiological health exposure holds promise as a pioneering tool for contemporary health research.ConclusionThis review underscores SRSM’s pivotal role in enriching geographic health studies, particularly in atmospheric pollution domains. The study illuminates how SRSM overcomes spatial resolution and data loss hurdles, enriching environmental monitoring tools and datasets. The path forward envisions the integration of cutting-edge remote sensing technologies, novel explorations of urban-public health associations, and an enriched assessment of built environment characteristics on public well-being.

IntroductionPhysical activity yields significant benefits, yet fewer than 1 in 4 youth meet federal guidelines. Children in rural areas from low socioeconomic (SES) backgrounds face unique physical activity contextual challenges. In line with Stage 0 with the NIH Stage Model for Behavioral Intervention Development, the objective of the present study was to conduct a community-engaged needs assessment survey with middle school children and adults to identify perceptions, barriers, and facilitators of physical activity, sport, psychological needs, and nutrition from a multi-level lens.MethodsA cross-sectional survey data collection was conducted with children (n = 39) and adults (n = 63) from one middle school community in the Midwestern United States. The child sample was 33% 6th grade; 51% 7th grade and was 49% female. The adult sample was primarily between 30 and 39 years old (70%) and comprised predominantly of females (85%). Multi-level survey design was guided by the psychological needs mini-theory within self-determination theory and aimed to identify individual perceptions, barriers, and facilitators in line with the unique context of the community.ResultsAt the individual level, 71.8% of children and 82.2% of the overall sample (children and adults) were interested in new physical activity/sport programming for their school. Likewise, 89.7% of children and 96.8% of adults agree that PA is good for physical health. For basic psychological needs in the overall sample, relatedness was significantly greater than the autonomy and competence subscales. Children’s fruit and vegetable intake were below recommended levels, yet only 43.6% of children were interested in nutritional programming. Conversely, 61.5% indicated interest at increasing leadership skills. At the policy-systems-environmental level, the respondents’ feedback indicated that the condition and availability of equipment are areas in need of improvement to encourage more physical activity. Qualitative responses are presented within for physical activity-related school policy changes.DiscussionInterventions addressing children’s physical activity lack sustainability, scalability, and impact due to limited stakeholder involvement and often neglect early behavioral intervention stages. The present study identified perspectives, barriers, and facilitators of physical activity, sport, psychological needs, and nutrition in a multi-level context and forms the initial campus-community partnership between scientists and community stakeholders.

ObjectiveAsthma is a major public health problem that affects both children and adults, and its prevalence varies among people with different climatic characteristics and living habits. However, few studies have investigated the prevalence and risk factors for asthma among tropical residents in China. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the correlation between individuals’ living environment and daily habits in Hainan Province, and the occurrence of asthma.MethodsThis cross-sectional study collected data from 1021 participants in three regions of the Hainan Province. A questionnaire derived from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey was used to collect data on demographics, living habits, self-reported asthma, and respiratory system-related symptoms. Logistic regression was used for univariate and multivariate analyses to screen for relative risk factors associated with asthma.ResultsAmong the 1,021 subjects investigated, the prevalence rate of self-reported asthma was 18.6%. Significant risk factors for asthma include hair dyeing, longer living time in Hainan, higher BMI, and living in a damp and musty room. Protective factors included fruit intake, years of higher education, and indoor timing of natural ventilation.ConclusionHigher frequency of hair dyeing, higher body mass index (BMI), longer living in Hainan, lower frequency of fruit intake, fewer years of education, a damp and musty room, and no indoor timing natural ventilation were associated with an increased risk of asthma.

Authors: Adler Joseph , Dekerlegand Jennifer 
Published: November 2023

Background Despite having training to assess vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation), monitoring in outpatient therapy clinics is infrequent, and no guideline existed to support therapists. The goal of this project was to implement an evidence-based guideline in the outpatient therapy setting with the primary goal of improving patient safety by detecting asymptomatic, dangerously high blood pressure. Methods With stakeholder involvement across the organization, an evidence-based vital sign guideline was created and implemented across the 25 Good Shepherd Penn Partners outpatient therapy clinics (occupational, physical, and speech therapy) over a three-year period. Competency completion, volume of guideline-appropriate medical event reports, and documentation of vital signs were used to measure success. Intervention The interventions were studied in a phased approach over a three-year period and included therapist education and competency, assessment of guideline application and utilization, and knowledge translation to clinical practice. Results All outpatient therapists (N=185) completed the guideline education and competency within the expected six-month time period. A statistically significant increase in the number of medical events was reported across outpatient clinics, from six preceding implementation to 66 after project completion (p-value=0.02). Upon project completion, therapists correctly applied the guideline 94% of the time. Conclusions This project developed and implemented an evidence-based guideline to improve the consistency of blood pressure monitoring across our organization’s entire outpatient therapy service line. By substantially increasing blood pressure monitoring, we were able to proactively identify known or unknown abnormalities to positively impact patient safety in the ambulatory setting.

Изучено влияние пробиотика «Румит» в кормлении коров черно-пестрой породы на уровень обменных процессов в их организме, плотность инфузорной фауны рубца и эффективность производства молока. Научно-хозяйственный эксперимент проведен в условиях Вологодской области. Были сформированы 2 группы коров черно-пестрой породы по 15 голов, подобранных методом сбалансированных групп с учетом кровности, номера лактации и уровня надоя за последнюю законченную лактацию, живой массы, количества дойных дней и среднесуточного удоя по текущей лактации. Животные в контрольной группе получали основной рацион, а в опытной в него был дополнительно включен изучаемый препарат из расчета 50 г на 1 голову в сутки. Продолжительность скармливания добавки составляла 90 дней. Установлено, что у коров опытной группы отмечено снижение в крови содержания общего белка на 13% (83,0 г/л; Р˂0,05), мочевины — на 19% (5,92 ммоль/л; Р˂0,05), билирубина — на 26% (1,74 мкмоль/л; Р˂0,01). Использование добавки способствовало повышению плотности инфузорий в рубце на 44,7%. От коров опытной группы за период эксперимента было получено на 9% больше молока. Дополнительная прибыль составила 37,61 руб. на 1 голову в сутки. Эти результаты подтверждают положительное влияние использования в кормлении ферментативно-пробиотического препарата, способствующего нормализации обменных процессов в организме, повышению плотности инфузорной фауны и экономической эффективности производства молока.
The impact of the probiotic “Rumit” in feeding the Russian Black Pied cattle on the level of metabolic processes in animal organisms, density of rumen infusoria fauna and milk production efficiency was studied. The scientific and agricultural experiment was conducted in the Vologda Oblast. Two groups of 15 Russian Black Pied cattle were formed, selected by the method of balanced groups, taking into account blood relationship, number and level of milk yield during the previous completed lactation, live weight, number of milking days and daily milk yield in the current lactation. Animals in the control group received a basic diet, and those in the experimental group received the preparation “Rumit” in addition to the basic diet at the rate of 50 grams per cow in a day. The duration of feeding the additive was 90 days. It was found that cows in the experimental group had a 13% (83.0 g/l) (Р˂0.05) decrease in total protein, 19% (5.92 mmol/l) (P˂0.05) decrease in urea, and 26% (1.74 mkmol/l) (P˂0.01) decrease in bilirubin in the blood. The use of the additive increased the density of infusoria in the rumen by 44.7%. During the experiment, 9% more milk was obtained from the cows of the experimental group, and, as a result, the additional profit was 37.61 rubles per head per day. These results confirm the positive impact of using the enzyme-probiotic preparation in feeding, as it helps to normalize metabolic processes in the body, increase the density of infusoria and economic efficiency of milk production.
