Seeking offsite help: a study of online support access for families of adolescents with depression
Authors: Zhang Chen , Zhou Lefan 
Published: February 2025

BackgroundAs the smallest social unit, the family is the primary source of social support for adolescent patients to withstand chronic diseases. Several rehabilitation programs have found that involving family members in the treatment process can result in greater success. However, families struggle to provide adequate support for the recovery of adolescent patients when adolescent depression occurs.MethodsThis study examined the WeChat group for parents of adolescent patients in the “DuGuo” community, and used participatory observation, social network analysis, and extensive interviews to investigate the online support received by families with adolescent depression.ResultsIt was found that compared with physical diseases, adolescent depression recovery is a systemic problem, requiring all ecological contexts for adolescent growth to provide relative support. Under structural pressure, families with adolescent patients urgently require diversified social support such as medical consultation, emotional comfort, guidelines to return to school, and life planning. Insufficient offline social support leads parents to seek help from the Internet community.ConclusionWidespread factors such as communication constraints and hidden alienation in the nuclear family, render the parent–child relationship an important variable in combating depression. WeChat groups indeed provide a platform for parents with depressed children to seek help, but the real challenge for these parents is how online support from “off-site help” can be used in the family context and positively affect adolescent patients.

BackgroundAIDS is a severe medical condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that primarily attacks the immune system, specifically CD4+ T lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell crucial for immune response), monocyte macrophages, and dendritic cells. This disease has significant health and socio-economic implications and is one of the primary causes of illness and death globally (UNAIDS, 2022). It presents significant challenges for public health and population well-being, both in developed and developing countries. By conducting a time series analysis, this research seeks to identify any significant changes in HIV rates over the next 4 years in the Kumba District Hospital and provide valuable insights to inform evidence-based decision-making and strategies for preventing and controlling HIV within the Kumba Health District.Materials and methodsA hospital-based retrospective study on HIV/AIDS recorded cases was conducted at the Kumba District Hospital. Using data extraction form, hospital records from 2012 to 2022 were reviewed and data extracted and used to make predictions on the number of future incidence cases. Time series analysis using Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 26.ResultsAccording to the ARIMA parameter (p,d,q), the results for the Partial Autocorrelation Factor (p) was 1, differencing (d) was 0 and Autocorrelation Factor (q) was 0. Putting these values together, we had the ARIMA model (1,0,0) which predicted an overall increase in HIV incidence cases at the Kumba District Hospital for the upcoming Years (2023–2026).InterpretationThe ARIMA model was found to be independent of errors and a perfect fit, with a high R-squared value of 0.764 and a p-value of 0.410, indicating that the model’s predictions aligned well with the observed data. The model predicted an increase in the number of HIV incidence cases over the coming years (2023–2026), potentially suggesting a worsening situation. However, it is important to interpret these predictions with caution and consider other factors that may influence the incidence of HIV in reality.

BackgroundSocioeconomic factors play a critical role in influencing mental health outcomes, particularly during periods of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In Hawaiʻi, working adults face unique challenges related to employment, food security, and trust in community safety measures, which may exacerbate risks for depression, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. Understanding the interplay of these factors is crucial to addressing mental health disparities and informing targeted policy interventions.MethodsThis study analyzed data from 2,270 adults aged 18 to 65 residing in Hawaiʻi, collected in 2022. Using probit regression models and conditional inference decision trees, the study assessed the impact of 15 socioeconomic and demographic factors on mental health outcomes, specifically symptoms of depression, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. Key variables of interest included food security status, employment, marital status, pre-existing health conditions, and perceptions of COVID-19-related community safety.ResultsThe findings revealed significant mental health challenges among the participants, with 39.6% reporting symptoms of depression, 14.7% experiencing low self-esteem, and 4.2% expressing suicidal ideation. Food insecurity emerged as the most significant predictor of poor mental health, particularly for depression and suicidal ideation. Within the food-insecure group, individuals with pre-existing health conditions faced worsened mental health outcomes, while marital status served as a protective factor. Employment reduced the likelihood of depression by 2.8%, and perceptions of community safety during the COVID-19 pandemic were associated with a 9.9% reduction in depression risk.ConclusionFood insecurity, particularly when coupled with pre-existing health vulnerabilities, is a critical risk factor for adverse mental health outcomes among working adults in Hawaiʻi. Employment and positive perceptions of community safety were identified as key protective factors. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions to improve food security and foster community trust and safety.

BackgroundBad breath, or halitosis, is a common oral health problem that can significantly affect a person's social and psychological well-being. Understanding dental patients' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to halitosis provides valuable insights into the current state of KAP related to halitosis in Addis Ababa and highlights the need for targeted educational interventions within dental health services.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward halitosis among dental patients at Zewditu Memorial Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 214 study participants. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire that assessed the participants’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to halitosis. The data were checked, cleaned, and entered into SPSS version 25.0. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the data, and the findings were presented in texts, tables, and graphs.ResultsIn terms of knowledge, 71% of the participants had poor knowledge about halitosis. Approximately 68.7% of the participants had an unfavorable attitude toward halitosis. Furthermore, while 40.7% of the participants reported regular oral care and 42.5% used mouthwash, only 26.6% of the participants reported good practices regarding halitosis.ConclusionOverall, knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding halitosis among dental patients at Zewditu Memorial Hospital were not satisfactory. These results highlight critical gaps in public awareness and effective management strategies for halitosis. This study highlights the need for integrated public health initiatives and clinical practices that focus on improving awareness and management of halitosis to ultimately promote better oral health in the community.

IntroductionThe integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into medical education and healthcare has grown steadily over these past couple of years, though its application in veterinary education and practice remains relatively underexplored. This study is among the first to introduce veterinary students to AI-generated cases (AI-cases) and AI-standardized clients (AI-SCs) for teaching and learning communication skills. The study aimed to evaluate students' beliefs and perceptions surrounding the use of AI in veterinary education, with specific focus on communication skills training.MethodsConducted at Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine (TTU SVM) during the Spring 2024 semester, the study included pre-clinical veterinary students (n = 237), who participated in a 90-min communication skills laboratory activity. Each class was introduced to two AI-cases and two AI-SCs, developed using OpenAI's ChatGPT-3.5. The Calgary Cambridge Guide (CCG) served as the framework for practicing communication skills.ResultsResults showed that although students recognized the widespread use of AI in everyday life, their familiarity, comfort and application of AI in veterinary education were limited. Notably, upper-year students were more hesitant to adopt AI-based tools, particularly in communication skills training.DiscussionThe findings suggest that veterinary institutions should prioritize AI-literacy and further explore how AI can enhance and complement communication training, veterinary education and practice.

IntroductionEchinococcosis is a parasitic zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus tapeworm larvae, forming cysts in organs like the liver and lungs. It primarily affects livestock and humans, with significant public health and economic implications worldwide. In the Hazara Division, the prevalence and genetic diversity of the Echinococcus is largely unexplored. Therefore, the current study aims to assess the prevalence of Echinococcus granulosis (EG) in livestock.Materials and methodsFrom April 2023 to April 2024, a total of 480 livestock animals, including buffaloes, cattle, goats, and sheep, were examined for echinococcosis across various slaughterhouses in the Hazara Division. Cysts of Echinococcus were collected from different organs, and the cyst fluid (CF) was microscopically analyzed before DNA extraction. PCR amplification was performed targeting the Cox1 (317 bp) and Cyto B (309 bp) genes to confirm the presence of E. granulosus.ResultsThe overall prevalence of Cystic echinococcosis (CE) was 12.2% (59/480), with rates observed in different species as follows: cattle (13.1%), buffaloes (15.2%), goats (6.3%), and sheep (5.7%), (p-0.658). District-wise, higher prevalence rates were recorded in Haripur and Mansehra districts (17.5% and 16.2%), followed by Abbottabad and Battagram (12.5% and 11.2%). The lowest prevalence of infection was observed in the upper and lower Kohistan districts, with rates ranging from (8.7% and 7.5%), respectively. The infection was more common in male animals than in females, particularly among those older than 4-5 years (p =0.048). Sex-wise prevalence varied across species, with cattle showing rates of 12.4% in males and 14.3% in females. In buffaloes, prevalence was 20% in males and 13.3% in females, followed by sheep at 5% in males and 6.2% in females, and goats at 8% in males. Most animals in the study were older than three years, with the highest number of cysts found in animals over five years of age. Hydatid cysts were most found in the liver (39.1%) and lungs (34.7%), followed by the kidneys (17.3%) and heart (8.6%), (p-0.01).ConclusionIn conclusion, E.G. is highly prevalent in the livestock population of the Hazara division.

Published: February 2025

We present a theoretical investigation of the inelastic scattering of vortex electrons by many-electron atoms embedded in a solid-state environment. Special emphasis is placed on the probability of exciting a target atom and on the relative population of its magnetic substates as described by the set of alignment parameters. These parameters are directly related to the angular distribution of the subsequent radiative decay. To demonstrate the application of the developed theoretical approach, we present calculations for the 3s2 S01→3s3p P13 excitation of a Mg atom and its subsequent 3s3p P13→3s2 S01 radiative decay. Our results highlight the significance of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) projection as well as the relative position of the vortex electron with respect to the target atom.

Background/Objectives: Organ size is a critical target trait in fruit-tree breeding programs, as it significantly impacts the economic value of plants by influencing their biomass, yield, and quality. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying organ size in citrus is essential for breeding new cultivars with superior fruit quality. Methods: In this study, we investigated the regulatory network involved in organ size using the Citrus sinensis ‘Newhall’ navel orange variety and its large-organ mutant, ‘M25’. Results: Ploidy analysis indicated that the organ enlargement observed in ‘M25’ was not attributable to changes in chromosome ploidy. Furthermore, RNA sequencing of tender leaves and young fruits from both ‘M25’ and ‘Newhall’ oranges identified 1817 and 1605 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these DEGs were enriched in pathways associated with organ size regulation, including those related to cell division, DNA replication, protein biosynthesis, plant hormone signal transduction, and cell wall metabolism. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis identified the grey 60 and orange modules as the key modules influencing organ enlargement; from these modules, we identified 51 and 35 hub genes, respectively. Combined homologous function annotation and expression analysis identified four transcription-factor-encoding hub genes (Cs_ont_6g005380, Cs_ont_8g025330, Cs_ont_9g019400, and Cs_ont_9g008010) as candidate genes potentially related to organ size. Conclusions: Among these, Cs_ont_8g025330 (CsMYB73) was inferred to be the key gene influencing organ size through auxin and cytokinin regulation. These findings lay the foundation for further investigations of the regulatory mechanism of organ size in navel orange varieties.
From Direct Numerical Simulations to Data-Driven Models: Insights into Mean Velocity Profiles and Turbulent Stresses in Channel Flows

Published: February 2025

In this paper, we compare three mathematical models for the mean velocity and Reynolds stress profiles for fully developed pressure-driven turbulent channel flow with the aim of assessing the level of accuracy of each model. Each model is valid over the whole boundary layer thickness (0 ≤y≤ δ), and it is formulated in terms of a law of the wall and a law of the wake. To calibrate the mathematical models, we use data obtained by direct numerical simulations (DNS) of pressure-driven turbulent channel flow in the range 182 ≤Reτ≤ 10,049. The models selected for performance evaluation are two models (Musker’s and AL84) originally developed based on high Reynolds boundary layer experimental data and Luchini’s model, which was developed when some DNS data were also available for wall-bounded turbulent flows. Differences are quantified in terms of local relative or absolute errors. Luchini’s model outperforms the other two models in the “low” and “intermediate” Reynolds number cases (Reτ= 182 to 5186). However, for the “high” Reynolds number cases (Reτ= 8016 and Reτ= 10,049). Luchini’s model exhibits larger errors than the other two models. Both Musker’s and AL84 models exhibit comparable accuracy levels when compared with the DNS datasets, and their performance improves as the Reynolds number increases.
