Authors: Santoro Ilaria , Sors Fabrizio , Mingolo Serena , Prpic Valter , Agostini Tiziano , Murgia Mauro 
Published: February 2023

Aims:
The present study aims to investigate the occurrence of the serial position effect in the recall of items verbally presented in three different contexts.

Background:
The serial position effect has been studied with both verbal (e.g., words) and visuospatial (e.g., locations) stimuli but not with verbal-spatial stimuli (i.e., spatial description of an environment). In particular, a spatial description of an environment has both spatial information and a meaningful context.

Objective:
The objective of the present study is to determine whether the use of different contexts (namely, a classic word list, a spatial description of a room, and a narrative without spatial information) can alter the serial position effect.

Methods:
Depending on the condition, participants were exposed to a) a list of objects, b) a spatial description of a room containing the same objects; c) a narrative presenting the same objects in lack of spatial information. After this learning phase, participants performed a recognition task.

Results:
The recognition task revealed different accuracy distributions in the three conditions. In particular, in the spatial description condition, the accuracy distribution did not change across the item position.

Conclusion:
This result is in line with previous studies with visuospatial stimuli. Thus, it seems that spatial descriptions are a particular kind of verbal stimuli, which are encoded similarly to visuospatial stimuli. Overall, these outcomes support the idea that spatial descriptions elicit a spatial representation, which enhances item retention and eliminates the serial position effect.
Is a Holistic Health Practice Program Effective to Promote Personal Growth in Persons with Serious Mental Illness – A Pilot Study
Authors: Leung Luk Andrew 
Published: February 2023

Background:
Self-help groups (SHG) have been found to be effective in enhancing psychiatric rehabilitation. A Holistic Health Practice Program (HHPP) was developed in which all recovery components are covered. It has been conducted on a group of student nurses and was found to be effective in promoting holistic health, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. But the question arises if it is also effective when conducted on the members of the SHG comprising persons with serious mental illness.

Aim:
This study aimed to explore the holistic health status of the members of the SHG and investigate whether the HHPP is effective for the personal growth of members of the SHG, including persons with serious mental illness and trained lay persons as volunteers in the group.

Methods:
A pre- and post-test group approach was adopted in this study. Group members were invited to join an HHPP, which consisted of 6 sessions held within 6 weeks, with one session weekly comprising 3 hours per session. Participants were asked to fill in a pre-test questionnaire before the program and a post-test questionnaire when they completed the program.

Results:
Results showed that among the 6 domains of the healthy lifestyle profile, participants scored the lowest in the physical activity of the physical domain, followed by the health responsibility of the psychological domain. Whereas, they scored the highest in the interpersonal relations of the social domain. The study also found no significant differences between the mean scores of the persons with serious mental illness and the volunteers. Besides, there were significantly positive increases in mean scores in the domains of physical activity, nutritional habits, spiritual growth, and the total scores of HPLP-II (P<0.05), as well as self-esteem (P<0.05) and self-efficacy (P<0.05) when comparing the pre-test and post-test results.

Conclusion:
This study showed that the holistic health status of persons with serious mental illness is the same as that of the general population. It also demonstrated that the Holistic Health Practice Program is effective in promoting holistic health, self-esteem, and self-efficacy among the persons with serious mental illness and the volunteers.

Aim:
Breastfeeding Counseling in order to increase Breastfeeding Performance.

Background:
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is a policy for increasing children's survival and decreasing the illnesses of children all over the world.

Objectives:
The present study investigated the effect of Midwife-led Breastfeeding Counseling based on Bandura's Model on Self-efficacy and Breastfeeding Performance.

Methods:
The present study was an educational trial with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. 60 women in the intervention group received 4 session group counseling program based on Bandura's theoretical structures during pregnancy. After that, the second stage of the study was conducted between 1-3 days and 10-15 days after childbirth using the face-to-face method to meet the needs and concerns of mothers about breastfeeding. The control group received no counseling program and only received routine health care.

Results:
showed that the awareness means in the intervention group was 25.6 and in the control group, it was 21.1, which showed a significant increase in the intervention group. In addition, it was indicated that the mothers' self-efficacy increased by 18 units in the intervention group and decreased by 1 unit in the control group after the intervention. Findings showed that the attitudes of the intervention group increased by 11 units, and 4 units in the control group after the intervention. 54 mothers in the intervention group and 17 mothers in the control group only used breastfeeding for their babies.

Conclusion:
Breastfeeding self-efficacy is an appropriate theoretical model to perform interventions and should be considered to prolong breastfeeding and better performance.

Regulation of Genome-edited Technologies: Indian Policy Perspective
Authors: Prasad Amita , Chimata Murali Krishna 
Published: February 2023

Abstract:
The rapid technological advances in the field of biotechnology have resulted in the formulation of effective and robust regulatory policy
frameworks by different countries to ensure the safety of the products that are being developed through the application of genome editing
techniques both in terms of environment and health safety perspectives. With over two and half decades of use of products derived from the
application of genetic engineering technologies, this technology has stemmed the emergence of an even more advanced and precise targeted
technology to address the most complicated and intrinsic challenges in a more precise manner which is now considered as Genome Editing. It is
astounding to note that, at a time when several nations were debating and discussing the regulatory hurdles regarding the regulation of this
technology, India has emerged as one nation with a clear policy framework with well-defined definitions in Rules 1989 itself, wherein, the
definition of Gene Technology and Genetic Engineering clearly states that any alteration in the genome needs to be regulated and accordingly,
India needs to regulate the products that would be developed through this novel genome editing technology. However, recognizing the global
developments and after a thorough assessment of safety aspects, India, in the year 2022 promulgated the “ Guidelines for the Safety Assessment of
Genome Edited Plants” wherein, it is explicitly detailed that products that are derived from SDN-1 and SDN-2 techniques and which are free of
exogenous introduced DNA, are exempted from the provisions of Rules 7 to 11 (both inclusive) of the above said Rules 1989 and products derived
from SDN-3 would be regulated as per provisions of Rules, 1989. If required, the concerned regulatory agencies may stipulate additional safety
evaluation tests through better risk evaluation methodologies and a greater number of laboratories could also be set up along with empowering the
human resource capacities for undertaking such state-of-the-art and precise techniques for the development of safe and beneficial products for the
public without compromising on the safety.

2 Diabetes
Authors: Paul Tirna , Pathak Kalyani , Saikia Riya , Gogoi Urvashee , Jyoti Sahariah Jon , Das Aparoop 
Published: February 2023

Abstract:
Diabetes is a severe metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia
is a hallmark of diabetes, a life-threatening metabolic condition. There are a variety of oral hypoglycemic
drugs in the market for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, including biguanides, sulphonylurea,
and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. On the other hand, these conventional methods of treating
diabetes are costly and associated with a variety of long-term issues, whereas medicinal herbs used
to treat diabetes are inexpensive and have no harmful consequences or side effects. Because of the
existence of different therapeutically relevant active phytochemicals such as tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids,
and other compounds in medicinal plants, they can be used in treating diabetes. Various
medicinal plants used to treat diabetes mellitus and their bioactive components are discussed in this
review article. In this review, the prospects of these medicinal plants, as well as the challenges associated
with their use, are discussed.
Association Between Internet Use and Physical Health, Mental Health, and Subjective Health in Middle-aged and Older Adults: Nationally Representative Cross-sectional Survey in China
Authors: Wen Wen , Zhang Yaru , Shi Wenjie , Li Jiajia 
Published: February 2023

Background
Internet use is an important means of accessing health-related information. Identifying the associations between internet use and health outcomes could provide insight into strategies for improving public health among middle-aged and older adults (45 years and up).

Objective
This study aimed to examine the relationship between internet use and health outcomes in middle-aged and older adults.

Methods
Data were obtained from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Physical, mental, and subjective health were assessed using the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale, the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and the 3-level Self-Rated Health Scale, respectively. The chi-square test and rank sum test were used to explore whether internet use was associated with health status. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to determine this association further after controlling for the confounding factors.

Results
Overall, 13% (1752/13,474) of the participants used the internet. Regression analyses revealed that the prevalence of depression (odds ratio [OR] 0.59, 95% CI 0.52-0.68; P<.001), negative self-rated health (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.61-0.76; P<.001), and difficulty with ADL (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.39-0.60; P<.001) in the participating middle-aged and older adult was lower in those using the internet than nonusers. After controlling for confounding factors, internet use was found to be negatively associated with difficulty with ADL (urban: OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.32-0.61; P<.001 vs rural: OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.41-0.75; P<.001), depression (urban: OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.57-0.84; P<.001 vs rural: OR 0.52, 95% CI: 0.43-0.63; P<.001), and self-rated health status (urban: OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.61-0.81; P<.001 vs rural: OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.57-0.78; P<.001) among middle-aged and older adults in both urban and rural areas.

Conclusions
Internet use had a positive effect on the physical and mental health of middle-aged and older adults who participated in this study. However, the internet usage rate remains low among older Chinese people. Therefore, the internet penetration rate should be a priority.
Insights into the core bacterial consortia of root endophytes in two cultivated varieties of rice in West Bengal
Authors: Sengupta Subhadipa , Singh Pankaj K. , Ganguli Sayak 
Published: February 2023

Root endophytes are considered to be one of the potent environment-friendly substitutes for chemical fertilizers, as they possess an ability to induce crosstalk inside the hosts for growth promotion, nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and iron sequestration. This study aimed to explore and evaluate the key root endophytic bacterial consortia of two widely cultivated varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.), cv. ‘Saraswati’ (OS01) and cv. ‘Kunti’ (OS04). Detailed comparative metagenome data were generated for endophytes of OS01 and OS04 and the species richness was calculated. OS01 showed higher endophyte species richness than OS04, with alpha diversity values of 3.10 and 2.40, respectively. Bacillus, Magnetospirillum, Methanocystis, Desulfomicrobium and Pantoea were identified as common endophyte members for both cultivars. Solibacillus, Paenibacillus, Candidatus, and Melospira were unique members of OS01, and Herbaspirillum, Pandoraea, Anabaenopsis for OS04. Considerable occurrence of nitrogen fixing bacteria and methanogenic bacteria in the cultivars confirmed biological nitrogen fixation, which can contribute to plant development. Core homeotic pathways of amino acid biosynthesis and carbon metabolism were also reflected in endophytes from both cultivars, indicating a supportive environment for microorganisms. Sulfur metabolism pathways were likewise predicted to be active in the niche under study, which may be attributed as a response to arsenic stress. Furthermore, the most abundant genera identified may potentially serve as crucial consortium candidates for host plant development and contribute to better yield in a sustainable manner.
Expression of highly conserved developmental phase change regulating miR156 and miR172 microRNAs in silver birch using real-time PCR and high-throughput sequencing methodologies
Authors: Krivmane Baiba , Samsone Ineta , Ruņģis Dainis Edgars 
Published: February 2023

Silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) is the most significant deciduous tree species in Latvia. Efficient vegetative reproduction methods are crucial for shortening breeding cycles. In many woody tree species, success of vegetative propagation sharply decreases as individuals mature. Development of molecular genetic markers related to phase change has the potential to increase the efficiency of vegetative reproduction methods. Studies in annual model plant species have identified evolutionary highly conserved miRNAs that are involved in phase change – miR156 and miR172. This study compared expression levels of these miRNA families using two approaches – real-time PCR (RT‑PCR) and high-throughput sequencing, in silver birch in vitro shoot samples. High expression of miR156 in juvenile samples was identified by both methods, but increased expression of miR172 was only observed by RT‑PCR. Further studies in long-lived perennial species are needed to fully elucidate the miRNAs involved in developmental phase transition processes.
“You Don’t Want to Drink? What Are You, Pregnant?!”
Authors: Harding Kelly D. , Dionne Alexandre , Harding Eric V. 
Published: February 2023

Background and objective Pregnant women, women of childbearing age, and their partners frequently report obtaining information about alcohol use during pregnancy from the mass media. Relying on mainstream media sources, such as television, can be problematic when the information presented is inaccurate, contributing to inconsistent messaging about the ‘safety’ of alcohol use during pregnancy. In the current study, we aimed to explore the portrayal of alcohol (and substance) use (e.g., tobacco, opioids) during pregnancy in North American, English speaking mainstream prime time and streaming television shows ( N = 25). To the authors’ knowledge, no previous study has explored the representations of alcohol (and/or substance use) during pregnancy in this context. Materials and methods The following inclusion criteria guided the show selection: (1) top 100 shows on cable/streaming services targeting women aged 18 to 49 years, and (2) shows suggested by targeted social media posts. Using ethnographic content analysis (ECA), the content and role of television media narratives in the social construction of alcohol meanings concerning the safety of alcohol use during pregnancy were explored. Results and conclusion In line with ECA, the results and conclusion are discussed together. The results and discussion are presented under an overarching narrative, the dichotomy of women's alcohol and substance use, which illustrates the sociocultural construction of alcohol and substance use during pregnancy. Within this overarching narrative, we focus on two sub-narratives: (1) women's acceptable use and (2) women's villainous use. Our analysis indicates misrepresentations regarding the safety of alcohol use during conception (e.g., Friends from College) and pregnancy (e.g., How I Met Your Mother, The Mindy Project). In addition, a narrative was identified relating to the difficulty of keeping a pregnancy private when not drinking socially (e.g., Friends, The Office). These narratives reinforced a dichotomy between the types of women who drink during pregnancy, including some for whom it was okay to have ‘just a little bit’ (e.g., How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Black Mirror) in contrast to others who were portrayed as villains who engaged in binge drinking behaviour and/or other comorbid substance use (e.g., Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Chicago Med, Law & Order). These results demonstrate the need to provide a clear, consistent messaging about the risks of alcohol use during pregnancy, as mixed messages from television can contribute to misinformation. The recommendations for messaging, as well as changing our approaches to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder prevention in the light of these findings are discussed.
Towards Healthy Outcomes for Individuals with FASD
Authors: Joly Vannesa , Harding Kelly , Pei Jacqueline 
Published: February 2023

Background and objective Individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) may experience a range of behavioral, cognitive, and physiological difficulties that can result from prenatal alcohol exposure. Intervention approaches for individuals with FASD are required to respond to evolving strengths and needs throughout their lifespan. Material and methods In response to these evolving unique needs, best practices were developed by integrating current research findings with the experiences of individuals with FASD and their caregivers. The “ Towards Healthy Outcomes” approach has been developed to provide an evidence-informed framework to support intervention for individuals with FASD throughout their lifespan. Results This framework was developed based on core philosophies that create opportunities for individualized intervention support, including development throughout the lifespan, impact of interacting systems, and a strengths-based approach. These underlying philosophies and core beliefs are actioned throughout the lifespan around the following 12 domains: (1) physical health; (2) attachment; (3) family cohesion; (4) social functioning; (5) mental health and regulation; (6) education; (7) identity development; (8) community engagement; (9) adaptive skills; (10) housing; (11) employment; and (12) parenting skills. To establish its potential use, each of these domains is considered broadly within the context of FASD field, including the new ideas put forward by the studies included in this issue. Conclusion The “ Towards Healthy Outcomes” framework is an intervention approach that facilitates proactive and evidence-informed approaches to foster the development of individuals with FASD. It provides developmental considerations that are specific to the 12 domains and reflect the whole person. Furthermore, the “ Towards Healthy Outcomes” framework allows for the integration of research with the lived experiences of caregivers and individuals with FASD that bridges existing research gaps.
Does YouTube provide adequate information about orthodontic pain?
Authors: Tamošiūnaitė Ieva , Vasiliauskas Arūnas , Dindaroğlu Furkan 
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT

Objectives
To evaluate the content and quality of information about orthodontic pain on YouTube.

Materials and Methods
YouTube was searched using the keywords “orthodontic pain” and “brace pain.” A total of 65 videos were chosen for the final analysis. Videos were classified into high- and low-content groups using an eight-point scoring system and reviewed according to selected orthodontic pain–related topics. Video quality was rated by the Video Information and Quality Index (VIQI) and Global Quality Scale (GQS). Statistical data analysis was performed using SPSS 28.0 software, Mann-Whitney U-tests, χ2 tests, and Spearman correlation coefficients.

Results
Most YouTube videos related to orthodontic pain were low content (86.2%), and a few were high content (13.8%). Pharmacological pain relief was the most prevalent topic (50.8%), followed by duration of pain (32.3%) and influence of pain on patient quality of life (29.2%). The least-mentioned topic was possible location of pain (7.7%). Most of the videos were uploaded by laypeople (64.6%). Videos uploaded by dental professionals had significantly higher means of GQS scores (P = .035), flow of information (P &lt; .001), information quality (P = .008), and total VIQI (P &lt; .001). Compared with low-content, high-content videos had a higher mean of flow of information (P = .037). There was a weak correlation between total content and GQS scores and a strong correlation between GQS and VIQI scores (r = 0.740; P &lt; .01).

Conclusions
Overall, YouTube was found to be an inadequate source of information on orthodontic pain.
