Published: September 2022

BackgroundA 3-month parent education program was designed and implemented in Hong Kong to improve physical literacy (PL) among primary school children and their parents during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to probe into the acceptability of the intervention from parental perspectives, providing more insights for future implementation.MethodsFollowing the 3-month parent-focused PL program, 16 parents (mean age = 43.73 years, 15 mothers) were recruited to participate in semi-structured individual interviews in June 2021. Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis in NVivo 12. Two coders analyzed interview transcripts deductively based on the interview guide and social cognitive theory (SCT).ResultsThree themes were identified that captured the acceptability of the program: (1) Addressing needs through appropriate delivery enhances acceptability of intervention; (2) Positive behavioral and psychological changes to families; (3) Appropriate support of environmental factors can enhance the sustainability of program effects. The high levels of acceptability were attributable to the fact that parents were able to learn and be a gatekeeper to impact their children positively. Moreover, the design and contents of the program were appropriate for the participating parents because the program provided adequate learning resources and interactive learning support without being overly rigid, and the online learning mode was feasible and convenient. Consequent to their participation in the program, parents expressed that they became more aware of the importance of PL, established physical activity routines with their children, and modified their parenting styles which resulted in improved parent-child relationships.ConclusionsThe current study provided evidence that engaging parents in the intervention was feasible and acceptable approach in supporting both parents and children to establish physically active routines in the family setting. The insights gained regarding the appropriateness and acceptability of the program in this specific context may be used to inform the design, implementation and sustainability of other parent-focused PL programs.

BackgroundPreterm birth (PTB) is a global issue although its burden is higher in low- and middle-income countries. This study examined the risk factors of PTB in Southeastern Terai, Nepal.MethodsIn this community-based cross-sectional study, a total of 305 mothers having children under the age of 6 months were selected using systematic random sampling. Data were collected by structured interviewer-administered questionnaires and maternal antenatal cards from study participants for some clinical information. Predictors of PTB were identified using multi-level logistic regression analysis at a P-value &lt; 0.05.ResultsOf the total 305 mother-live-born baby pairs, 13.77% (42/305) had preterm childbirth. Maternal socio-demographic factors such as mothers from Dalit caste/ethnicity [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 12.16, 95% CI = 2.2–64.61] and Aadibasi/Janajati caste/ethnicity (AOR = 3.83, 95% CI = 1.01–14.65), family income in the first tercile (AOR = 6.82, 95% CI = 1.65–28.08), than their counterparts, were significantly positively associated with PTB. Likewise, other maternal and dietary factors, such as birth order first-second (AOR = 9.56, 95% CI = 1.74–52.53), and birth spacing ≤ 2 years (AOR = 5.16, 95% CI = 1.62–16.42), mothers who did not consume additional meal (AOR = 9.53, 95% CI = 2.13–42.55), milk and milk products (AOR = 6.44, 95% CI = 1.56–26.51) during pregnancy, having &lt;4 antenatal (ANC) visits (AOR = 4.29, 95% CI = 1.25–14.67), did not have intake of recommended amount of iron and folic acid tablets (IFA) (&lt;180 tablets) (AOR = 3.46, 95% CI = 1.03–11.58), and not having adequate rest and sleep (AOR = 4.83, 95% CI = 1.01–23.30) during pregnancy had higher odds of having PTB than their counterparts.ConclusionSome socio-demographic, maternal, and dietary behavior-related factors were independently associated with PTB. These factors should be considered while designing targeted health interventions in Nepal. In addition, we recommend specific measures such as promoting pregnant women to use available antenatal care and counseling services offered to them, as well as having an adequate diet to a level that meets their daily requirements.

Authors: Xie Haiyang , Lu Shenghua 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the association between physical performance and subjective wellbeing among Chinese older adults.MethodsData on the Chinese population were gathered from the Study on Global Aging and Adult Health Survey (SAGE). This survey used a stratified multistage cluster sample design based on geographical location and economic status. Chinese older adults aged 65 years old or above from eight provinces (Guangdong, Hubei, Jilin, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanghai, Yunnan, and Zhejiang) were included in this cross-sectional study. Physical performance was measured using relative handgrip strength and normal gait speed. Subjective wellbeing was measured using quality-of-life (QOL), happiness, and mood through interviews with participants. Logistic regressions were used to examine the associations between physical performance and each of the three wellbeing variables (QOL, happiness, and mood).ResultsData of 5,421 Chinese older adults (mean age: 72.93 ± 5.89 years old, 47.1% men) were analyzed. In this sample, individuals with a higher level of relative handgrip strength (rHGS) had better mood compared to those with a lower level of rHGS (p &lt; 0.05), and persons with lower gait speed had poorer QOL, happiness, and mood compared to those with faster gait speed (p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionOur findings suggest that a higher level of relative handgrip strength predicted better mood and lower gait speed predicted poor QOL, happiness, and mood in Chinese older adults.

IntroductionStigmatizing attitude toward patients with severe mental disorders is one of the main obstacles of improving the mental health of societies. Media plays an important role in how the public views mental health issues. Thus, we have performed this study to investigate the Iranian theater artists' mental health status, and their view toward patients with severe mental disorders.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was performed via an online anonymous survey including the Social Distance Scale and the Dangerousness Scale measuring the attitude of participants toward patients with severe mental disorders, and the 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). It was disseminated to artists who had the experience of working in theater in the past year in Iran.ResultsOur survey was responded by 104 artists. Social Distance Scale scores' mean was 10.67 (scores can range from 0 to 21) and the Dangerousness Scale scores' mean was 28.87 (scores can range from 8 to 56); higher scores indicate worse discrimination. Our participants' strongest fears were to let someone with a severe mental disorder to take care of their children, and for these groups of patients to obtain a hunting license. Twenty-six (25%) participants were at risk of moderate to severe anxiety, and 18 (17.3%) participants were at risk of moderate to severe depression.ConclusionBy and large, our participants did not have a positive attitude toward patients with severe mental disorders. Providing the knowledge of mental health issues can help the general public to be more tolerant of the mentally ill and specifically, theater can be employed to fight stigmatizing mental health issues by educating its audience.

IntroductionArtificial intelligence (AI) is widely seen as critical for tackling fundamental challenges faced by health systems. However, research is scant on the factors that influence the implementation and routine use of AI in healthcare, how AI may interact with the context in which it is implemented, and how it can contribute to wider health system goals. We propose that AI development can benefit from knowledge generated in four scientific fields: intervention, innovation, implementation and improvement sciences.AimThe aim of this paper is to briefly describe the four fields and to identify potentially relevant knowledge from these fields that can be utilized for understanding and/or facilitating the use of AI in healthcare. The paper is based on the authors' experience and expertise in intervention, innovation, implementation, and improvement sciences, and a selective literature review.Utilizing knowledge from the four fieldsThe four fields have generated a wealth of often-overlapping knowledge, some of which we propose has considerable relevance for understanding and/or facilitating the use of AI in healthcare.ConclusionKnowledge derived from intervention, innovation, implementation, and improvement sciences provides a head start for research on the use of AI in healthcare, yet the extent to which this knowledge can be repurposed in AI studies cannot be taken for granted. Thus, when taking advantage of insights in the four fields, it is important to also be explorative and use inductive research approaches to generate knowledge that can contribute toward realizing the potential of AI in healthcare.
COL1A1 novel splice variant in osteogenesis imperfecta and splicing variants review: A case report
Authors: Dirani Michella , Cuenca Victor D. , Romero Vanessa I. 
Published: September 2022

BackgroundOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare heterogeneous genetic disorder commonly autosomal dominant with variants in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes. It is characterized by bone fragility and deformity, recurrent fractures, blue sclera, dentinogenesis imperfecta, short stature, and progressive deafness.Case presentationWe present a novel splicing mutation in the COL1A1 gene (c.2398-1G &gt; C) in a 6-year-old Ecuadorian girl with fractures after light pressure and blue sclera. We identified the pathogenic variant, performed a literature review of splice variants, and recognized their location in the COL1A1 functional domains.ConclusionWe describe the first clinical description of a patient with OI type 1 caused by a splice variant in intron 34 of COL1A1 gene and identify that most of them are localized in the triple-helical region domain. We suggest that the splice variant in signal peptide, von Willebrand factor type C, and nonhelical regions maintain their functionality or that individuals affected with severe cases die early in development and are not reported.

BackgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common cutaneous inflammatory and pruritic diseases in dogs. Considering its multifactorial nature, AD can be a challenging disease to manage, and the therapeutic strategy must often be multimodal. In recent years, research has been moving toward the use of natural products which have beneficial effects on inflammation and itching, and no side effects. Cannabinoid receptors have been demonstrated to be expressed in healthy and diseased skin; therefore, one of the potential alternative therapeutic targets for investigating AD is the endocannabinoid system (ECS).ObjectiveTo immunohistochemically investigate the expression of the cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R), and the cannabinoid-related receptors G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55), transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) in mast cells (MCs), macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), T cells, and neutrophils of the skin of dogs with AD.AnimalsSamples of skin tissues were collected from eight dogs with AD (AD-dogs).Materials and methodsThe immunofluorescent stained cryosections of the skins of 8 dogs with AD having antibodies against CB2R, GPR55, TRPV1, TRPA1 were semiquantitatively evaluated. The inflammatory cells were identified using antibodies against tryptase (mast cells), ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (IBA1) (macrophages/DCs), CD3 (T cells), and calprotectin (neutrophils). The proportions of MCs, macrophages/DCs,Tcells, and neutrophils expressing CB2R, GPR55, TRPV1 and TRPA1 were evaluated.ResultsThe cells of the inflammatory infiltrate showed immunoreactivity (IR) for all or for some of the cannabinoid and cannabinoid-related receptors studied. In particular, MCs and macrophages/DCs showed CB2R-, GPR55-, TRPA1-, and TRPV1-IR; T cells showed CB2R-, GPR55- and TRPA1-IR, and neutrophils expressed GPR55-IR. Co-localization studies indicated that CB2R-IR was co-expressed with TRPV1-, TRPA1-, and GPR55-IR in different cellular elements of the dermis of the AD-dogs.Conclusions and clinical importanceCannabinoid receptor 2, and cannabinoid-related receptors GPR55, TRPV1 and TRPA1 were widely expressed in the inflammatory infiltrate of the AD-dogs. Based on the present findings, the ECS could be considered to be a potential therapeutic target for dogs with AD, and may mitigate itch and inflammation.

Objectives: This study was conducted to explore healthcare workers’ knowledge of female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) and describe proposed interventions to raise awareness about FGS and strengthen healthcare facilities’ capacity to manage FGS cases.Methods: We conducted four cross-sectional focus group discussions and 16 key informant interviews with purposively selected healthcare workers in Zanzibar. Discussions and interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using NVivo software.Results: Most participants had limited or no knowledge of FGS and lacked skills for managing it. They confused FGS with urogenital schistosomiasis and thought it was sexually transmitted. A few participants knew about FGS and associated it with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), ectopic pregnancy, cervical cancer, and infertility. To prevent and control FGS, participants proposed interventions targeting communities (including community-based health education) and the healthcare system (including training healthcare workers on FGS).Conclusion: Healthcare workers lacked knowledge of and skills for managing FGS. Besides, healthcare facilities had no diagnostic capacity to manage FGS. Along with on-going interventions to break S. haematobium transmission and eventually eliminate urogenital schistosomiasis in Zanzibar, we recommend training healthcare workers on FGS and equip healthcare facilities with medical equipment and supplies for managing FGS.

Abstract
One of the most important technological challenges that photoconductive devices in terahertz systems encounter is the viability of cost-effective and large-scale device production. We introduce an economical and mass-producible approach to fabricating a substrate material for photoconductive devices. By using an electron beam irradiator, the material properties of GaAs were engineered in a controllable manner, achieving comparable performance to that of a well-known photoconductive substrate, LT-GaAs. THz emission of the irradiated substrates was tested and found to be superior to a commercial device in terms of high-power THz signal emission and ability to withstand a high bias voltage.
