Authors: Kim Soyeon , Belfry Kimberly D. , Crawford Jennifer , MacDougall Arlene , Kolla Nathan J. 
Published: June 2023

BackgroundCurrent literature indicates that safety measures, including lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, severely disrupted our lifestyle, marked by increased screen time. The increased screen time is mostly associated with exacerbated physical and mental wellbeing. However, the studies that examine the relationship between specific types of screen time and COVID-19-related anxiety among youth are limited.MethodsWe examined the usage of passive watching, social media, video games, and educational screen time and COVID-19-related anxiety at the 5-time points (Early-Spring 2021, Late-Spring 2021, Fall 2021, Winter 2022, and Spring 2022) among youth in Southern Ontario, Canada (N = 117, mean age = 16.82, male = 22%, non-White = 21%) and investigated the role of 4 types of screen time in COVID-19 related anxiety. COVID-related anxiety was measured using the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS). Descriptive statistics examined the binary relationships between demographic factors, screen time, and COVID-related anxiety. Also, partially adjusted and fully adjusted binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between the types of screen time and COVID-19-related anxiety.ResultsDuring the late Spring of 2021, when the provincial safety restrictions were most stringent, screen time was the highest among the 5 data collection time points. Further, adolescents experienced the highest COVID-19-related anxiety during this period. On the other hand, young adults experienced the highest COVID-19-related anxiety during Spring 2022. In a partially adjusted model (accounting for other types of screen time), engaging in 1–5 h per day on social media increased the likelihood of experiencing COVID-19-related anxiety compared to those who spend less than 1 h per day (OR = 3.50, 95%CI = 1.14–10.72, p &lt; 0.05). Other types of screen time was not significantly associated with COVID-19-related anxiety. In a fully adjusted model (accounting for age, sex and ethnicity besides four types on screen time), 1–5 h per day of social media remained significantly associated with COVID-19-related anxiety (OR = 4.08, 95%CI = 1.22–13.62, p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionOur findings suggest that COVID-19-related anxiety is associated with youth engagement in social media during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinicians, parents, and educators should work collaboratively to provide developmentally appropriate approaches to reduce the negative social media impact on COVID-19-related anxiety and promote/foster resiliency in our community during the recovery period.

Published: June 2023

BackgroundMinocycline, an antibiotic with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties, has been used for treating psychiatric disorders in research. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of minocycline in patients having depression with or without treatment-resistance.MethodsElectronic databases including Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane library were searched for relevant studies published up to October 17, 2022. The primary efficacy outcome was the change in depression severity scores and the secondary efficacy outcomes included the changes in Clinical Global Impression (CGI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores and the incidence of response and partial response. Safety outcomes were evaluated based on the incidence of classified adverse events and all-cause discontinuation.ResultsFive studies with 374 patients were selected for analysis. The minocycline group demonstrated a significant reduction in depression severity scale (standardized mean difference [SMD]: −0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.98 to −0.20, P = 0.003) and CGI (SMD: −0.28, 95% CI: −0.56 to −0.01, P = 0.042) scores; however, no statistical difference was found in terms of the BDI score, response, and partial response. No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of adverse events (other than dizziness) and discontinuation rates. Subgroup analysis showed that minocycline was also effective in reducing depression severity scores in treatment-resistant depression (SMD: −0.36, 95% CI: −0.64 to −0.09, P = 0.010). Subgroup analysis of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (17-item) scores showed a statistical difference in response in patients with depression (relative risk: 2.51, 95% CI: 1.13 to 5.57, P = 0.024).ConclusionsMinocycline may improve depressive symptoms and augment response to treatment in patients with depression irrespective of treatment-resistance. However, clinical trials with large sample sizes are warranted for evaluating long-term outcomes with minocycline.Systematic review registrationhttps://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-12-0051/.
Effects of infection prevention and control measures on patient and visitor violence against health workers in China during COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Su Ke , Zhang Cheng , Huang Ju 
Published: June 2023

ObjectiveTo examine trends in patient and visitor violence (PVV) among large public hospitals from 2016 to 2020 in China, and investigate the effects of infection prevention and control (IPC) measures on PVV during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsThe hospital-level data of PVV used in this study from 2016 to 2020 in three cities in northern China were extracted from the database of the Medical Quality and Safety Notification System from 41 public hospitals. The difference-in-difference (DID) method was used to estimate the effects of IPC measures on PVV. The empirical strategy was to compare changes in the incidence rate of PVV in public hospitals where IPC measures were stricter to relatively weaker hospitals.ResultsFrom 2019 to 2020, the incidence rate of PVV decreases from 4.59 to 2.15% for high-IPC measure level hospitals and increases from 4.42 to 4.56% for medium-IPC measure level hospitals. The results from the DID models showed that as the IPC measure level increased, the incidence rate of PVV (β = −3.12, 95% CI = −5.74 ~ −0.50) decreased more significantly based on controlling for hospital fixed effects and time trends.ConclusionThe multi-dimensional and comprehensive IPC measures throughout the pandemic in China have not only controlled the pandemic, but also directly or indirectly reduced the incidence rate of PVV by alleviating the stress of health workers and the crowded working environment, creating a good order of admission, and reducing patient waiting time.
Factors associated with perceived caregivers' willingness to provide care among older adults with disabilities in China
Authors: Sun Chang , Meng Dijuan 
Published: June 2023

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to analyze the status quo and associated factors of care recipients' perceptions of caregivers' willingness to provide care among disabled older adults in China. Thus, this study contributes to our understanding of vulnerable older populations who are at a high risk of receiving support from informal caregivers who are unable or unwilling to take the caregiver role.MethodsWe analyzed the cross-sectional data of 3,539 disabled older adults who received informal care at home from the seventh wave of the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the variables associated with the respondents' perceived caregivers' willingness to care from five aspects: respondents' sociodemographic attributes, health-related data, family endowment, access to health care services and community-based long-term care services (CBLTCS).ResultsThis study found that the majority of disabled older adults (90.9%) had a positive attitude toward their caregivers' willingness to care and the care they received; however, 7.0% of the adults were concerned about their caregivers' ability to handle the care. Moreover, there was a small number of disabled older people (2.1%) who felt that their caregivers were reluctant to care or lacked patience. The results from the multiple logistic regression showed that disabled older adults with socioeconomic disadvantages (living in rural areas, being poor and with no children who frequently visited) or high demand (with severe disabilities or cognitive impairment) were more likely to consider that their caregivers needed respite care. Those adults with anxiety symptoms, a lower amount of care time, poor self-rated financial status and poor accessibility to health care services were more likely to report that their caregivers were reluctant to administer care.ConclusionThis study found that living in rural areas, being poor, with no children who frequently visited, severe disabilities or CI were positively associated the care recipients' perception that caregivers needed respite care. While anxiety symptoms, a lower amount of care time, poor self-rated financial status and poor accessibility to health care services were significantly associated with care recipients' perception of caregivers' reluctance to care. Our findings highlight the awareness of monitoring informal carers' willingness to care or capability to enact caring tasks.

Published: June 2023

BackgroundThe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on all walks of life, in particular, environmental services workers in healthcare settings had higher workload, increased stress and greater susceptibility to COVID-19 infections during the pandemic. Despite extensive literature describing the impact of the pandemic on healthcare workers such as doctors and nurses, studies on the lived experiences of environmental services workers in healthcare settings are sparse and none has been conducted in the Asian context. This qualitative study thus aimed to examine the experiences of those who worked for a year of the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsA purposive sample of environmental services workers was recruited from a major tertiary hospital in Singapore. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in-person, lasting around 30min, and included open-ended questions pertaining to five main domains: work experiences during COVID-19, training and education needs, resource and supplies availability, communication with management and other healthcare staff, and perceived stressors and support. These domains were identified based on team discussions and literature review. The interviews were recorded and transcribed for thematic analysis, as guided by Braun and Clarke.ResultsA total of 12 environmental services workers were interviewed. After the first seven interviews, no new themes emerged but an additional five interviews were done to ensure data saturation. The analysis yielded three main themes and nine subthemes, including (1) practical and health concerns, (2) coping and resilience, and (3) occupational adaptations during the pandemic. Many expressed confidence in the preventive efficacy of proper PPE, infection control practice and COVID-19 vaccination in protecting them against COVID-19 and severe illness. Having prior experience with infectious disease outbreaks and previous training in infection control and prevention appeared to be useful as well for these workers. Despite the various challenges presented by the pandemic, they could still find meaning in their everyday work by positively impacting the wellbeing of patients and other healthcare workers in the hospital.ConclusionBesides uncovering the concerns shared by these workers, we identified helpful coping strategies, resilience factors and certain occupational adaptations, which have implications for future pandemic planning and readiness.

BackgroundSchools provide a favorable setting for health education, however, the most effective school-based exercise mode for improving physical fitness remains unclear. This network meta-analysis was designed to assess and rank the comparative efficacy of six exercise modalities on physical fitness indicators in a school-based setting.MethodsAn online search of the Web of Science, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and Scopus databases was conducted. Randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials were considered. Outcomes included measures of anthropometry and body composition, muscular fitness, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Data were pooled with a random effects model using the frequentist framework.ResultsA total of 66 studies with 8,578 participants (48% girls) were included. High-intensity interval training was the most effective intervention reducing body mass index (mean difference (MD) = −0.60 kg·m−2, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = −1.04 to −0.15, p = 0.009), elevating VO2max (MD = 3.59 mL·kg−1·min−1, 95% CI = 2.45 to 4.74, p &lt; 0.001), and 20-meter sprint performance (MD = −0.35 s, 95% CI = −0.55 to −0.14, p = 0.001). Aerobic training had the highest probability of reducing waist circumference (standardized mean difference (SMD) = −0.60, 95% CI = −0.88 to −0.32, p &lt; 0.001). Active video games emerged as a promising modality for improving countermovement jump (MD = 2.43 cm, 95% CI = 0.06 to 4.80, p = 0.041) and shuttle running performance (SMD = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.29 to 1.43, p = 0.003). Strength training was the best exercise mode for improving standing long jump performance (SMD = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.07 to 1.98, p = 0.035) while combined training was rated the first for decreasing body fat percent (MD = −2.56%, 95% CI = −4.73 to −0.40, p = 0.022) and increasing push-up repetitions (SMD = 3.59, 95% CI = 0.81 to 6.37, p = 0.012).ConclusionSchool-based exercise interventions have multiple effects on physical fitness. The findings of this study will help to inform physical education teachers and coaches how best to deliver exercise programs in a school setting. Since the study was limited by the original research, the conclusions will require further verification using high-quality randomized controlled trials.Systematic Review RegistrationPROSPERO, Identifier: CRD42023401963.

Authors: Gannotti Mary E. , O’Neil Margaret E. , Fragala-Pinkham Maria , Gorton George E. , Whitney Daniel G. 
Published: June 2023

- Durable medical equipment (DME) policies require that the equipment be medically necessary; however, adaptive cycling equipment (bicycles and tricycles) are usually not deemed medically necessary.- Individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD) are at high risk for secondary conditions, both physical and mental, that can be mitigated by increasing physical activity.- Significant financial costs are associated with the management of secondary conditions.- Adaptive cycling can provide improved physical health of individuals with NDD potentially reducing costs of comorbidities.- Expanding DME policies to include adaptive cycling equipment for qualifying individuals with NDD can increase access to equipment.- Regulations to ensure eligibility, proper fitting, prescription, and training can optimize health and wellbeing.- Programs for recycling or repurposing of equipment are warranted to optimize resources.

Key Points

Two genetic variants in the DISP1-TLR5 gene locus were associated with risk of AKI.DISP1 and TLR5 were differentially regulated in kidney biopsy tissue from patients with AKI compared with no AKI.

Background
Although common genetic risks for CKD are well established, genetic factors influencing risk for AKI in hospitalized patients are poorly understood.

Methods
We conducted a genome-wide association study in 1369 participants in the Assessment, Serial Evaluation, and Subsequent Sequelae of AKI Study; a multiethnic population of hospitalized participants with and without AKI matched on demographics, comorbidities, and kidney function before hospitalization. We then completed functional annotation of top-performing variants for AKI using single-cell RNA sequencing data from kidney biopsies in 12 patients with AKI and 18 healthy living donors from the Kidney Precision Medicine Project.

Results
No genome-wide significant associations with AKI risk were found in Assessment, Serial Evaluation, and Subsequent Sequelae of AKI (P < 5×10

−8
). The top two variants with the strongest association with AKI mapped to the dispatched resistance-nodulation-division (RND) transporter family member 1 (DISP1) gene and toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) gene locus, rs17538288 (odds ratio, 1.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.32 to 182; P = 9.47×10

−8
) and rs7546189 (odds ratio, 1.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.30 to 1.81; P = 4.60×10

−7
). In comparison with kidney tissue from healthy living donors, kidney biopsies in patients with AKI showed differential DISP1 expression in proximal tubular epithelial cells (adjusted P = 3.9×10−2) and thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (adjusted P = 8.7×10−3) and differential TLR5 gene expression in thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (adjusted P = 4.9×10−30).

Conclusions
AKI is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome with various underlying risk factors, etiologies, and pathophysiology that may limit the identification of genetic variants. Although no variants reached genome-wide significance, we report two variants in the intergenic region between DISP1 and TLR5, suggesting this region as a novel risk for AKI susceptibility.
Comprendre la persévérance et la réussite à l’université : de la nécessité de diversifier les approches culturelles et méthodologiques
Authors: Muamba Maurice Katamba , Mutatayi Madeleine Kapinga , Frenay Mariane 
Published: June 2023

La recherche sur la transition de l’enseignement secondaire vers l’enseignement supérieur, et l’adaptation à ce dernier ont une longue tradition. Les recherches ont évolué progressivement d’une approche par facteurs isolés cherchant à expliquer les taux de réussite ou d’échec vers la prise en compte de modèles plus complexes pour comprendre les processus de persévérance et de réussite, élargissant également le type de variables prises en compte. Cependant, les études ont été menées, dans leur large majorité, en contexte occidental. Dans cet article – à partir d’études récentes menées en Afrique francophone (RDC et Burundi), nous pointons l’intérêt de diversifier les approches méthodologiques, en questionnant la pertinence culturelle des outils et des approches, pour tenir compte de la pluralité des contextes sociaux et culturels. Nos résultats invitent également à relativiser certains des résultats actuels et à les replacer dans une approche plus nuancée et contextualisée permettant de penser les dispositifs d’accompagnement de la transition vers l’enseignement supérieur, en tenant compte des contextes et réalités éducatives spécifiques.
La précarité ressentie des étudiant·e·s en 2020
Authors: Chevalier Tom 
Published: June 2023

Ce texte analyse les contours de la précarité des étudiants en 2020 en France en utilisant les données de l’enquête « Conditions de vie » de l’Observatoire de la vie étudiante. Il est statistiquement compliqué d’établir un taux de pauvreté pour les étudiants en raison de l’importance des aides parentales, et c’est la raison pour laquelle les indicateurs subjectifs sont intéressants pour évaluer les niveaux de précarité de cette population. Si cette précarité ressentie semble avoir décliné depuis 2013, elle demeure néanmoins à des niveaux élevés : 20 % déclarent des difficultés financières et 26 % des restrictions budgétaires en 2020, contre un taux de pauvreté dans la population générale d’environ 14 %. Cette précarité a fortement augmenté lors du premier confinement de 2020 puisqu’un tiers des étudiants déclarait alors des difficultés financières. Lors de cette période, cette précarité a eu un effet conséquent en matière de santé mentale : elle a fortement augmenté le sentiment de solitude des étudiants (+16 points de pourcentage) et a réduit leurs niveaux de bien-être.
Les réorientations dans l’enseignement supérieur : des parcours désordonnés bien ordonnés ?
Authors: Couto Marie-Paule 
Published: June 2023

Les candidats à la réorientation (ou en reprise d’études) représentent 20 % des inscrits sur le portail national d’affectation à l’enseignement supérieur Parcoursup. Le modèle des parcours d’études linéaires (correspondant à plusieurs années successives au sein d’une même formation) serait en train de laisser place à une « nouvelle norme » de trajectoire étudiante, marquée par des ruptures et des changements de cursus. Pourtant, ces candidats sont fortement pénalisés dans les classements Parcoursup (comparativement aux néo-bacheliers) et les logiques à l’œuvre dans leurs parcours échappent à de nombreuses analyses. Cette contribution présente une typologie des étudiants en réorientation qui articule leurs propriétés sociales et scolaires, leurs modalités d’orientation post-bac et leurs premières expériences de l’enseignement supérieur. La manière dont se combinent ces différentes dimensions permet de distinguer six configurations d’étudiants en réorientation et d’éclairer des parcours qui ne sont qu’en apparence désordonnés.
