A multicomponent nutraceutical (<i>Perilla frutescens</i>, quercetin, and vitamin D3) as add-on therapy in patients with grass pollen-induced mild persistent asthma and rhinitis
Authors: Marogna Maurizio , Ciprandi Giorgio 
Published: May 2023

Background Allergic asthma is an inflammatory disease characterized by a type 2 immune response. Pollens are a common cause of seasonal asthma. Allergic rhinitis (AR) frequently associates with asthma. The treatment usually aims at controlling inflammation and relieving symptoms. Inhaled corticosteroids are the most effective controller and short-acting b2-agonists (SABA) as a reliever for asthma. Oral antihistamines and nasal corticosteroids (NC) are the mainstays for AR. A multicomponent nutraceutical containing perilla, quercetin, and vitamin D3 significantly prevented AR exacerbations in children. Thus, the current study explored the add-on use in adult patients with mild persistent asthma and AR due to grass pollen allergy.
Methods The treatment lasted three months. Asthma and AR symptoms, asthma control test, spirometry, nasal eosinophils, and use of rescue medications (SABA and NC) were evaluated in the previous grass season and throughout the treatment. All patients were treated with ciclesonide (320 mcg/day) and cetirizine (10 mg/day). Patients were randomly stratified into Group A, taking the nutraceutical, and Group B using the predetermined therapy.
Results 90 patients (13-59 years old) were enrolled, and 84 completed the trial. Group A significantly improved all outcomes (p<0.001). Group B did not achieve an improvement in AR symptoms, nasal eosinophils, and nasal steroid use. The intergroup analysis showed that Group A patients experienced less severe bronchial symptoms (- 32 %), AR symptoms (- 39 %), better asthma control (+ 38 %), higher FEV1 (+ 10 %), lower SABA (- 30 %) and NC use (- 41 %), and nasal eosinophils count (- 35 %) than Group B (p<0.0001 for all).
No clinically relevant adverse events occurred.
Conclusion A multicomponent nutraceutical containing perilla, quercetin, and vitamin D3, as an add-on treatment to inhaled ciclesonide and cetirizine, provided a clinically relevant benefit in patients with mild persistent asthma and AR due to grass pollen uncontrolled by standard therapy.

Authors: Grover Sandeep , Naskar Chandrima , Mehra Aseem , Sahoo Swapnajeet 
Published: May 2023

Background:
While telepsychiatry became a prominent and widely used service in the COVID-19 pandemic-related lockdown, data regarding the patient’s experience of telepsychiatry consultations is lacking.

Materials and Methods:
In this study, we attempted to understand the experience and level of satisfaction of 129 patients receiving psychiatry consultations over video consultations from April 2021 to December 2021. We also tried to understand the factors that might be associated with the satisfaction of the patients.

Results:
About three-fourths (77.5%) of the respondents were very satisfied with the quality of care provided and the overall experience of the consultation. The majority (92.2%) of the respondents reported that they would “definitely” recommend the telepsychiatry service to a friend or relative in need of a psychiatric consultation. The majority of the patients expressed high levels of satisfaction with the amount of time spent, the amount of freedom in expressing themselves, the amount of freedom in choosing the treatment option, the prescription provided, and the number of medications prescribed. The clarity of voice and the quality of connectivity throughout the consultation were found to be associated with the level of satisfaction.

Conclusions:
The present study suggests that overall satisfaction with teleconsultations was high among patients and/or caregivers for telepsychiatry consultations.

Authors: Kamrani Maedeh , Rad Narges Niazi , Zemorshidi Fariba , Khadem-Rezaiyan Majid 
Published: May 2023

Introduction:
The findings of previous studies are inconclusive in terms of psychological abnormalities and sexual function in asymptomatic human lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carriers.

Aim:
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and its relationship with psychological abnormalities in asymptomatic HTLV-1 carriers.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted on asymptomatic HTLV-1 patients who were referred to the Neurology Clinic of a tertiary hospital in Mashhad, Iran. Patients with spastic paraparesis, leukemia, and uveitis, and those with an expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score higher than 2 were excluded. Sexual function in male and female subjects was evaluated using the brief male sexual function inventory (BMSFI) and female sexual dysfunction index (FSFI) questionnaires, respectively. The severity of psychological symptoms was evaluated in all patients using the symptom checklist-90-revised (SCL-90-R) questionnaire.

Results:
A total of 117 patients (61 males and 56 females) with a mean age of 35.3 ± 6.3 years were evaluated. Overall, 50.9% of males had a high and 39.3% of females had a good sexual function. Both male and female patients with poor sexual function were older and had more children compared to those with good sexual function (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the distribution pattern of SCL-90 domains between patients with high and low to moderate sexual function among male patients (P > 0.05). Depression, hostility, interpersonal sensitivity, paranoid ideation, and psychological abnormality were significantly more prevalent in female patients with poor sexual function compared to those with good sexual function (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
The prevalence of psychological abnormalities was high in female with sexual dysfunction and these disorders might have a negative effect on various dimensions of sexual function.

Authors: Husain Zakir , Dutta Mousumi , Ghosh Saswata , Datta Soumitra S. 
Published: May 2023

Background:
The causal impact of income shocks on mental well-being in developing countries is an under-researched area. The COVID-19 pandemic, along with the economic recession caused by the lockdowns to reduce transmission, provides a natural experimental setting to examine the causal impact of a decline in monthly per capita expenditure (MPCE) on mental health of the general population in India during the pandemic.

Aim:
To evaluate the impact of income shocks on mental health of adults in metro cities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and Methods:
The data were collected using the abridged version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Schedule administered through a telephonic survey on adult residents of six metropolitan cities in September–August 2020 and July–August 2021.

Results:
In the present study, 994 adults participated from six metropolitan cities. Average treatment effects were estimated using Propensity Score Matching. The mean normalized scores are significantly higher for respondents whose MPCE had fallen (treated) vis-à-vis respondents whose MPCE had remained same or increased (control): anxiety (0.21 for treated vs –0.19 for control), stress (0.16 vs –0.14), and depression (0.04 vs –0.19). Propensity score matching reveals that the normalized scores for anxiety, stress, and depression were 33 (95% confidence intervals, CI: 20.0–46.7), 25 (95% CI: 12.9–36.9), and 36 (95% CI: 18.6–53.1) higher among the treated group vis-a-vis control group. The ATET was 34 (95% CI: 18.9–48.9), 26 (95% CI: 10.1–42.9), and 32 (955 CI: 12.3–50.7) for these three outcomes, respectively. The post-estimation tests indicated that the results are valid.

Conclusions:
The study advocates that policies to ensure income security should be made an integral part of the response packages to tackle pandemics like COVID-19.
