BackgroundPeripartum depression (PPD) is a serious public health issue associated with severe and potentially long-term adverse maternal and child developmental outcomes. Suicide and overdose, for example, accounts for up to a third of maternal deaths. A current depression diagnosis with no active treatment is a common risk factor for maternal suicide. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-pharmacological treatment that has recently shown some promise as an effective treatment with limited side effects for PPD, but more research is required. This study aims to identify current barriers and potential facilitators for women with PPD accessing treatment in general, and rTMS specifically.MethodsThis study will consist of two anonymous, self-administered surveys, focus groups, and interviews. A descriptive interpretative approach will be employed, and thematic analysis will be completed for the focus groups and interviews. Participants who are currently, or have previously experienced depressive symptoms, as well as health providers will be recruited. Our study will follow an equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) perspective on sex, gender, and ethnicity and the gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) analytic tool will be used. Both a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data will be conducted.DiscussionWe expect to find education and accessibility to be primary treatment barriers for persons with PPD. Identifying and addressing barriers is a critical first step towards the devolvement of initiatives that can work towards improving mental health in this population.

Published: July 2023

BackgroundInflammation has been implicated in core features of depression pathophysiology and treatment resistance. Therefore, new challenges in the discovery of inflammatory mediators implicated in depression have emerged. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been found aberrantly expressed in several pathologies, increasing their potential as biomarkers and therapeutical targets. In this study, the aim was to assess the changes and biomarker potential of inflammation-related miRNAs in depression patients.MethodsDepression diagnosis was performed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). 40 healthy controls and 32 depression patients were included in the study. The levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured in plasma, and expression levels of cytokines and inflammation-related miRNAs were evaluated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).ResultsDepression patients were found to have a pro-inflammatory profile in plasma, with significantly higher levels of TNF-α and CCL2 compared with controls. In PBMCs of depression patients, TNF-α and IL-6 expression levels were significantly up and downregulated, respectively. Moreover, miR-342 levels were found upregulated, while miR-146a and miR-155 were significantly downregulated. miR-342 expression levels were positively correlated with TNF-α. Importantly, when analyzed as a diagnostic panel, receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis of miR-342, miR-146a, miR-155 in combination, showed to be highly specific and sensitive in distinguishing between depression patients and healthy controls.ConclusionIn summary, these findings suggest that inflammation-related miRNAs are aberrantly expressed in depression patients. Moreover, we show evidences on the potential of the combination of dysregulated miRNAs as a powerful diagnostic tool for depression.

This paper presents the results of research on the effect of essential oils and ethanol extracts on the growth of mold fungi on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood. The analysis of fungal growth on the microbial medium showed that the degree of inhibition of microorganism growth depends on the amount of the extract added to the medium. At the same time, it was found that the highest dose of the extract, amounting to 5.0 cm3, almost completely inhibited the growth of fungi. In addition, it was found that mint ethanol extracts, the application of which in the wood is at least 40 g/m2, have a fungistatic effect at the initial stage of fungal development. Solutions of essential oils turned out to be more active against fungi, although also in this case the desired biocidal effect was not achieved. Essential oils significantly slowed down the growth of the fungus Ch. globosum, with the strongest fungistatic effect found for ‘Morocco’ spearmint oil (Mentha spicata L.). Despite the fact that in tests on agar-maltose medium, the strongest biocidal activity against Ch. globosum was found for spearmint ‘Crispa’ (Mentha spicata L.) oil, the effect of growth inhibition was not so clearly visible in studies on wood. Essential oils applied to the surface of the wood slowed down the growth of T. viride fungus, but not to the extent that it was found in the case of Ch. globosum. The qualitative and quantitative composition of substances belonging to the group of terpenes and their derivatives was characterized using the GCMS technique. It was shown that the ethanol extracts of mints were dominated by substances belonging to the oxygen-containing monoterpenoid and monoterpene groups. In terms of quality, the composition of essential oils turned out to be richer.
QALYs: The Math Doesn’t Work
Authors: Sawhney Tia G. , Dobes Angela , O'Charoen Sirimon 
Published: July 2023

The quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) is a metric widely used when assessing the cost-effectiveness of drugs and other health interventions. The assessments are used in the development of recommendations for pricing, formulary placement decisions, and health policy decisions. A new bill, H.R. 485, the Protecting Health Care for All Patients Act of 2023, was approved by the US House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee that will, if passed, end the practice of using QALYs in all federal programs.1,2 Proponents of the ban say that QALYs undervalue the positive effects of therapeutics on people with disabilities.3 We share their concerns. Furthermore, our review of the mathematical properties of QALYs, including an analysis of quality-of-life utility (QOL utility) data recently collected from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), has led us to conclude that QALYs are an inappropriate metric of drug and treatment cost-effectiveness for all people, both disabled and nondisabled, and should not be the basis for US healthcare policy decisions.

Abstract
The New Horizons encounter with the Pluto system revealed Pluto to have an extremely spatially variable surface with expansive dark, bright, and intermediate terrains, refractory and volatile ices, and ongoing/recent endogenous and exogenous processes. Albedo is useful for understanding volatile transport because it quantifies absorbed solar energy; albedo may also provide insights into surface processes. Four filters of the New Horizons LORRI and MVIC imagers are used to approximate the bolometric (flux-weighted, wavelength-integrated) albedo. The bolometric hemispherical albedo (local energy balance albedo) as a function of the incidence angle of the solar illumination is measured for both Cthulhu and Sputnik Planitia, which are extensive, extreme dark and extreme bright terrains on Pluto. For both terrains, the bolometric hemispherical albedo increases by >30% from 0° to 90° incidence. The incidence-angle-average bolometric hemispherical albedo of Cthulhu is 0.12 ± 0.01, and that of Sputnik Planitia is 0.80 ± 0.06, where uncertainties are estimates based on scatter from different photometric functional approximations. The bolometric Bond albedo (global energy balance albedo) of Cthulhu is 0.12 ± 0.01, and that of Sputnik Planitia is 0.80 ± 0.07. A map of Pluto’s incidence-angle-average bolometric hemispherical albedo is produced. The incidence-angle-average bolometric hemispherical albedo, spatially averaged over areas north of ≈30° S, is ≈0.54. Pluto has three general albedo categories: (1) very low albedo southern equatorial terrains, including Cthulhu; (2) high-albedo terrains, which constitute most of Pluto’s surface; and (3) very high albedo terrains, including Sputnik Planitia. Pluto’s extraordinary albedo variability with location is also spatially sharp at some places.
SARS-COV-2 Infection and Reproductive Capacity: What do we know after the Pandemic?
Authors: Balic Devleta 
Published: July 2023

Whether and in what way the infection could affect reproductive capacity in the long- term is a question that preoccupies not only doctors but also patients. The SARS-COV-2 virus affected their function through angiotensin converting receptor-2 and other receptors that are present in the tissues of female and male reproductive organs. It was noticed that men suffering from the infection have a reduced number of spermatozoa in the acute phase of the disease as well as in convalescence. The level of testosterone also plays a role in the impact of infection, which explains the more severe forms of the disease in older men and those with hypogonadism. Infection with SARS-COV-2 affects women’s fertility through the direct impact of on ovarian function, sex hormone production, and endometrial receptivity, but also through the impact of stress that pandemic infection can cause by affecting the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Speculations about the impact of the vaccine on the reproductive capacity of young women were the reason why a large number of young people did not opt for the vaccine. Menstrual disorders, reduced sperm concentration, premature ovarian failure, erectile dysfunction, and anorgasmia are mentioned today as long-term effects of infection with the SARS-COV-2 virus. Despite numerous published studies on the impact of SARS-COV-2 on the reproductive function, it is still not possible to talk about the real long-term impact of the infection, but most of the data we have so far suggest that the impact of the infection was temporary except in rare cases.

Published: July 2023

Background:
Hypertension (HTN) is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases and its control is poor. There is heterogeneity in levels of blood pressure control among various population subgroups. The present study was conducted within the framework of the National Program for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases, and Stroke (NPCDCS) in India. It aims to estimate the proportion of optimal blood pressure control and identify factors associated with uncontrolled HTN consequent to initial screening.

Materials and Methods:
We assembled a cohort of individuals with HTN confirmed in a baseline screening in sixteen urban slum clusters of Bhopal (2017–2018). Sixteen accredited social health activists were trained from within these slums. Individuals with HTN were linked to primary care providers and followed up for the next two years. Obtaining optimal blood pressure control (defined as SBP <140 and DBP <90 mm of Hg) was a key outcome.

Results:
Of a total of 6174 individuals, 1571 (25.4%) had HTN, of which 813 were previously known and 758 were newly detected during the baseline survey. Two-year follow-up was completed for 1177 (74.9%). Blood pressure was optimally controlled in 301 (26%) at baseline and in 442 (38%) individuals at two years (an absolute increase of 12%; 95% CI 10.2–13.9). Older age, physical inactivity, higher body mass index, and newly diagnosed HTN were significantly associated with uncontrolled blood pressure.

Conclusion:
We found about six of every ten individuals with HTN were on treatment, and about four were optimally controlled. These findings provide a benchmark for NPCDCS, in terms of achievable goals within short periods of follow-up.
Scaling inequalities for spherical and hyperbolic eigenvalues
Authors: Langford Jeffrey J. , Laugesen Richard S. 
Published: July 2023

Neumann and Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on spherical and hyperbolic domains are shown to satisfy scaling inequalities or monotonicities analogous to the length

^{-2}

scaling relation in Euclidean space.

For a cap of aperture

\Theta

on the sphere

\mathbb{S}^2

, normalizing the

k

-th eigenvalue by the square of the Euclidean radius of the boundary circle yields that

\mu_k(\Theta) \sin^2 \Theta

is strictly decreasing, while normalizing by the stereographic radius squared gives that

\mu_k(\Theta) 4 \tan^2 \Theta/2

is strictly increasing. For the second Neumann eigenvalue, normalizing instead by the cap area establishes the stronger result that

\mu_2(\Theta) 4 \sin^2 \Theta/2

is strictly increasing.

Monotonicities of this kind are somewhat surprising, since the Neumann eigenvalues themselves can vary non-monotonically.
Cheng and Bandle-type inequalities are deduced by assuming either fixed radius or fixed area and comparing eigenvalues of disks having different curvatures.

Published: July 2023

Gereja sebagai institusi agama memiliki peran penting dalam membantu orang-orang yang hidup dalam kondisi ekonomi sulit. Program atau strategi yang dilakukan gereja harus bisa diwujudnyatakan secara praktis, sehingga melalui pemuridan mampu membantu mereka yang ingin keluar dari kemiskinan tidak hanya dari bantuan sosial, namun juga dari pengajaran nilai-nilai kehidupan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memberikan solusi kepada gereja supaya bisa memberantas kemiskinan melalui pemuridan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif-deskriptif dengan menganalisis berbagai data, seperti buku dan artikel jurnal yang dipaparkan secara sistematis. Sebagai kesimpulan, pengentasan kemiskinan gereja melalui pemuridan di gereja dengan program bantuan sosial dan kemanusiaan, program pemberdayaan Ekonomi, pendidikan dan kesadaran sosial, dan advokasi dan kebijakan publik dalam hal yang diupayakan pasti terjadi kekurangan, namun dengan memanfaatkan potensi dan melakukan inisiatif pasti akan membuahkan perubahan yang baik, daripada gereja hanya diam.

Addressing Quality-of-Life Issues for OT Clients with Lymphedema
Authors: Feldhacker Mackenzie , Kamphoff Keri B. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Date Presented 04/21/2023
This study investigated how OTs who were certified lymphedema therapists addressed quality-of-life (QOL) issues for clients with lymphedema. Participants tended to administer occupation-based interventions but not QOL assessments despite how important they rated addressing client QOL. Because lymphedema affects QOL, it is important to understand practice trends to improve client care and justify the need for OT in this specialty area of practice.
