Published: March 2022

Background: A 76-year-old male Veteran with a historical diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment was assessed at baseline and follow-up as part of two separate, ongoing studies. He was diagnosed with COVID-19 during the interim. Objective: To report potential effects on cognitive and functional abilities measured before and after contracting COVID-19. Methods: The patient was administered a series of cognitive tests and self-report procedures assessing cognitive, functional, and neuropsychiatric status. Results: Overall, no discernable pattern of cognitive changes between pre-COVID and post-COVID assessments were noted. Only mild increases in agitation, depression, and irritability were noted on a self-report measure. However, this particular subject has relatively ideal psychosocial circumstances in comparison to the typical older adult Veteran male. It is hypothesized that improved psychosocial conditions will result in less negative cognitive and functional outcomes for older adults diagnosed with COVID-19. Conclusion: High levels of resilience, social support, and exercise, coupled with lower levels of perceived stress and loneliness may serve as protective factors against cognitive and functional decline in older adults who contract COVID-19.

BACKGROUND: Depression is a widespread, global problem, increasingly linked with vitamin D deficiency in the literature. However, a knowledge gap persists regarding the relationship between depressive symptoms and vitamin D intake. OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between vitamin D supplementation and depressive symptoms in adults (aged 18+ years). METHODS: This study consists of a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), published before January 2019. Pooled summary estimates and between-study heterogeneity were examined. RESULTS: Ten RCTs (total participants = 3336; median duration = 12 months) were included. An association was found between high vitamin D supplementation (≥4000 IU) and reduced depressive symptoms, but not in the case of lower levels of vitamin D supplementation (<4000 IU). Neither baseline serum vitamin D before supplementation, nor the depression-scoring scales used affected this association. The overall quality of evidence was graded as ‘moderate’. CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D supplementation at greater than 4000 IU was observed to have a positive effect on depressive symptoms. Future efforts could focus on obtaining higher-quality evidence with standardized RCT methodologies to confirm this association.
Positive Psychology in the Foreign Language and Translation Classroom
Authors: Al-Jarf Reima 
Published: March 2022

Results of surveys with a sample of EFL and translation instructors and students showed that many instructors feel that their role is limited to preparing the teaching material, in-class instruction, writing exams, grading assignments and other paperwork. They declared that students have many academic problems in EFL and translation and interpreting course. They added that they are unaware of positive psychology and how to apply its principles in their courses. Students’ responses and comments on social media showed that they have a negative image of themselves. They feel inadequate and are always afraid of failing their courses. If they fail, they blame it on their bad luck, on the instructor or exams. Some are not willing to try, hate school and studying. They are under stress if they have a writing or translation assignment, a class presentation, or a test. They cram and lose sleep. Based on findings of the surveys, this study proposes a model for applying the principles of positive psychology in EFL and language classrooms to help the students become happy and relaxed learners, overcome stress and anxiety, develop positive attitudes, positive affirmations, emotional resilience, positive thinking and make more achievements and improvements. The model consists of strategies and tips for improving students’ English language and translation skills, providing psychological help (e.g., student-instructor communication, giving moral support, feedback, reading simplified self-help books, watching motivational videos), and developing students’ pragmatic skills (goal setting, time management, study skills, presentation, and note-taking skills). In addition, it provides some strategies for effective teaching.

The length-weight relationships and reproductive biology of Synodontis nigrita was studied. Fish specimens were collected from fishermen catch at the landing site. Estimated exponent (b) varied between 1.949 and 2.845 (2.3092±0.08). Correlation (0.915±0.01) between length and weight indicated a strong positive relationship. There were more females than males in the fish species, the difference was not significant (P>0.05). Male fish recorded gonadosomatic index range from 0.253±0.03 to 2.715±0.15 and 0.410±0.05 to 5.352±0.72 for females. The gonadosomatic index of the male fish was not significantly different from that of the female. Rainy months gonadosomatic index were significantly higher than the dry months (P<0.05). The fish was observed to exhibit negative allometric growth. The species investigated recorded higher values of GSI in the wet season indicating the breeding period of the fish.

A field experiments was carried out during the rainy season of 2018 and 2019 Tal, Billiri in Gombe state, Nigeria. The aim of the experiment is to investigate the performance of soybeans as affected by planting methods and fertilizer type. The planting methods were; Drill (50kg/ha), Dibbling (Transplanted at 25 x 75cm) and Broadcast (50kg/ha). Fertilizer used were; NPK (40kgN, 80kg P, 20kg K), SSP (20kg P) NPK/SSP (Combination of NPK and SSP at 50kg N, 100kg P and 20kg K) and Control. The treatments were laid in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments were combined to have 10 plots in a block with 1 meter between the block and 0.5 meters within the plots. During the research growth characters were measured, other character like days of 50% flower, days of maturity, number of pod per plant, seeds per pod, 1000 seed weight and seed yield were also recorded. All the parameters studies have significantly (P≤0.05) responded to the both planting methods and fertilizer effects, where dill method was observed to perform higher in both growth character and grain yield. NPK/SSP fertilizer was significant in both growth, yield related character and over-all yield. 2019 rainy season all shows significant difference (P<0.05) in growth, yield and related characters when compared to 2018 rainy season. Based on the result obtained it can be suggested that the use of Dibbling methods of planting and the application of NPK at 50kg/ha and NPK/SSP (40kgN, 80kg P, 20kg K) fertilizer will

ObjectiveTo evaluate the necessity of Covid-19 vaccination in children aged &lt; 12 y by comparing the clinical characteristics between unvaccinated children aged &lt; 12 y and vaccinated patients aged ≥ 12y during the Delta surge (B.1.617.2) in Putian, Fujian, China.MethodsA total of 226 patients with SARS-Cov-2 Delta variant (B.1.167.2; confirmed by Real-time PCR positivity and sequencing) were enrolled from Sep 10th to Oct 20th, 2021, including 77 unvaccinated children (aged &lt; 12y) and 149 people aged ≥ 12y, mostly vaccinated. The transmission route was explored and the clinical data of two groups were compared; The effect factors for the time of the nucleic acid negativization (NAN) were examined by R statistical analysis.ResultsThe Delta surge in Putian spread from children in schools to factories, mostly through family contact. Compared with those aged ≥ 12y, patients aged &lt; 12y accounted for 34.07% of the total and showed milder fever, less cough and fatigue; they reported higher peripheral blood lymphocyte counts [1.84 (1.32, 2.71)×10^9/L vs. 1.31 (0.94, 1.85)×10^9/L; p&lt;0.05), higher normal CRP rate (92.21% vs. 57.72%), lower IL-6 levels [5.28 (3.31, 8.13) vs. 9.10 (4.37, 15.14); p&lt;0.05]. Upon admission, their COVID19 antibodies (IgM and IgG) and IgG in convalescence were lower [0.13 (0.00, 0.09) vs. 0.12 (0.03, 0.41), p&lt;0.05; 0.02 (0.00, 0.14) vs. 1.94 (0.54, 6.40), p&lt;0.05; 5.46 (2.41, 9.26) vs. 73.63 (54.63, 86.55), p&lt;0.05, respectively], but longer NAN time (18 days vs. 16 days, p=0.13).ConclusionUnvaccinated children may be an important link in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 delta variant (B1.617.2), which indicated an urgent need of vaccination for this particular population.
The Benefits of a Jeffersonian Transcript
Authors: Park Song Hee , Hepburn Alexa 
Published: March 2022

Over the past 6 decades, researchers in conversation analysis have repeatedly shown that everyday social activities such as inviting a friend over, interviewing a police suspect, teaching a class, or cross-questioning in a courtroom–are achieved in orderly and reproducible ways. Jeffersonian transcription has been refined to both capture and crystallize the interactionally relevant specifics of how such tasks get done. Conversation analytic work has shown that by leaving out features like the timing of turns, and changes in prosody, volume and other vocal and embodied specifics of delivery, a standard orthographic transcript bleaches out crucial components of how humans perform discursive actions, and how they continuously analyze one another across sequences of talk. This short paper will overview some of the benefits of investing time in the Jeffersonian system. Rather than simply describing the system, we will illustrate the analytic usefulness of its systematic and detailed transcription practices; we show how transcription facilitates a clearer picture of how things get done in interaction.

ObjectiveThe present study aimed to prospectively evaluate the role of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the etiological diagnosis of patients with perioperative infective endocarditis (IE).MethodsFrom May 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2020, a total of 99 patients with IE were enrolled in the present study according to the modified Duke criteria, etiological, and pathological results. 11 non-IE patients undergoing heart valve surgery in the same period were selected as the control group. A blood culture test was performed immediately after admission, and the valves harvested operatively were examined by blood culture and mNGS.ResultsIn the IE group, there were 29 cases (29.3%) with positive blood culture, 16 cases (16.2%) with positive valve culture, and 85 cases (85.9%) with positive valve mNGS. Compared to culture-based detection, mNGS achieved better performance with a sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve (AUC) of 0.859, 0.727, and 0.793, respectively. The combined approach using culture and mNGS further improved the diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity 89.9%, specificity 72.7%, AUC 0.813). Preoperative white blood cell (P = 0.029) and neutrophils (P = 0.046) were identified as independent factors affecting the detection rate of mNGS. In the mNGS-positive group, 95 strains of pathogens were found and 10 cases were identified with mixed infection. There were 72 gram-positive bacteria and 14 gram-negative bacteria. mNGS positive group displayed higher species richness than mNGS negative group with enrichment of Streptococcus sanguis, Streptococcus buccalis, and Streptococcus griseus. Proteobacteria and Actinomycetes were enriched in mNGS negative group. Notably, six patients showed disconcordant results between culture and mNGS. Rothia aeria was identified in the blood culture, valve culture, and valve mNGS in one patient. Bartonella Quintana and Coxiella burnetii, which were fastidious intracellular bacteria, were found in two blood and valve culture-negative cases.ConclusionsmNGS outperformed the conventional culture method and displayed high accuracy in detecting pathogens in IE patients. This study provided support for the use of mNGS in the etiological diagnosis of IE.

Published: March 2022

IntroductionCardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading mortality cause among women, yet an alarming misrepresentation of women in CV studies and a low awareness of the impact of CV among women still persist to date. The Monzino Women Heart Center has been established as a clinical and research program dedicated to primary prevention of CV disease in women.MethodsPatients aged between 35 and 60 years and with no history of CV disease underwent a comprehensive evaluation including a cardiologic outpatient visit with electrocardiogram, individual CV risk calculation, first-level cardiovascular examinations and a psychological assessment.ResultsA total of 635 women, with a mean age of 52.2 ± 6.4 participated to the project on a voluntary basis during the period January 2017–August 2021. Included patients had a high level of education (40.4% with a graduate or postgraduate university degree), the majority of them, in a stable couple and with children, were actively working. More than half of the patients performed physical activity on a regular basis. Prevalence of traditional CV risk factors were family history (70.2%), hypertension (46%), hypercholesterolemia (22%) and diabetes (14%). Early or premature menopause was reported by 17.7% of the patients, gestational hypertension and diabetes by 4.96 and 1.7%, respectively. Symptoms of depression were reported by 27%; nearly 36% of the participants rated high score of state anxiety and 41% of trait anxiety. Nearly 69% of the participants showed moderate-to-high perceived stress. The mean value of perceived general self-efficacy was moderate (mean = 28.78, SD = 4.69).ConclusionA CV prevention program dedicated to women can help identifying a considerable number of patients with risk factors for whom early interventions can help reducing the risk of developing CV disease. Psychological assessment might unmask depression or anxiety disorders, which might have a potential long-terme detrimental effect on CV health.
A MEN1 Patient Presenting With Multiple Parathyroid Adenomas and Transient Hypercortisolism: A Case Report and Literature Review

Published: March 2022

BackgroundMultiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a hereditary endocrine syndrome caused by mutations in MEN1 tumor suppressor gene.Case PresentationA 53-year-old Chinese female was admitted to Division of Endocrinology, Tongji Hospital, for hypercalcemic crisis. Increased level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) was confirmed by laboratory tests, and imaging examination showed multiple parathyroid adenomas. Based on gene analysis, the patient was diagnosed as MEN1 associated hyperparathyroidism (HPT) by gene analysis with c.1378C&gt;T (p.Arg460Ter) mutation in MEN1 gene. Her condition was complicated by transient hypercortisolism, mammary mass and uterine leiomyoma. After subtotal parathyroidectomy, PTH and serum calcium levels returned to normal.ConclusionHPT with multiple parathyroid adenomas is an indication of MEN1 gene mutation. Serum cortisol and its circadian rhythm can be abnormal in the presence of hypercalcemia and high PTH. These parameters can return to normal after parathyroidectomy.
