Men's help‐seeking and engagement with general practice: An integrative review
Authors: Mursa Ruth , Patterson Christopher , Halcomb Elizabeth 
Published: April 2022

AbstractAimTo critically synthesize the literature that describes men's help‐seeking and engagement with general practice.DesignIntegrative literature review.Data sourcesCINAHL plus, Medline and APA PsycInfo were searched for papers published between 1999 and March 2021.Review methodsAfter screening titles and abstracts, full‐text papers were screened against inclusion / exclusion criteria. All included papers were assessed for methodological quality. Findings were extracted, critically examined and synthesized into themes.ResultsTwenty studies met the inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis revealed four themes related to; (1) structural barriers, (2) internal barriers, (3) men's understanding of the role of general practice, and (4) self‐care and help‐seeking. The findings indicate that men can find general practice unwelcoming and unaccommodating. Men can also experience psychological barriers that impact engagement and help‐seeking. Men predominantly view general practice as a source of acute health care and do not appreciate the role of general practice in preventive health care and advice.ConclusionThis review has provided insight into the issues around the barriers to health care engagement, men's understanding of the role of general practice and their associated help‐seeking. Seeking to further understand these issues could assist in the development of strategies to promote engagement of men with general practice health care.ImpactThis review highlights research about men's engagement with general practice and the missed opportunities in receiving preventive health care and education.Enhancing men's engagement with general practice has the potential to reduce the impact of their health on quality of life and improve health outcomes.

AbstractAimsTo examine the psychometrics and measurement invariance of the Short‐Form Health Literacy 12‐item questionnaire (HL‐SF12) among Vietnamese and Indonesian married immigrants.DesignA cross‐sectional survey design.MethodsIn total, 1171 Vietnamese and Indonesian married immigrants were enrolled between September 2019 and December 2019. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to verify the structural validity of the suggested factor structure. The multiple‐group CFA (MGCFA) used a series of hierarchical nested‐in models as a measurement invariance test which confirmed the adequacy of the model fit at each stage.Results/FindingsThe Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin coefficient was 0.898, and the Bartlett test of sphericity was statistically significant (χ2[66] = 1965.97, p < 0.01). According to a scree plot and Kaiser's criterion for eigenvalues of >1, the EFA explained 61.6% of the total variance and confirmed three theoretically supported factors of health care, disease prevention and health promotion. The 12 items showed factor loadings of >0.4 and four items were in each subscale. The CFA showed adequate structural validity, including a relative chi‐squared/degrees of freedom (X2/df) of 2.01, a comparative fit index (CFI) of 0.98 and a root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) of 0.04 (95% confidence interval [0.03, 0.05]) in married immigrants. For the measurement invariance, a change in the goodness‐of‐fit measures did not exceed 0.02 for the RMSEA or 0.01 for the CFI. The results indicated Cronbach's α values of 0.87 for the HL‐SF12 scale in Vietnamese and Indonesian combined samples (n = 1171). A t‐test showed that the HL‐SF12 and its three subscales were unable to significantly differentiate between Vietnamese and Indonesian groups (all p > 0.05).ConclusionsThe HL‐SF12 scale showed acceptable theoretically supported structural validity, equivalent measurement invariance and reliable internal consistency among Vietnamese and Indonesian married immigrants. Measurements of immigrants' HL using the HL‐SF12 could be integrated into future immigrant health policies.ImpactAs the first study of the measurement invariance of the HL‐SF12 instrument among immigrants. Related factors of immigrants' HL can be further explored to increase immigrants' health and empowerment.
Psychotropic drugs intake in people aging with intellectual disability: Prevalence and predictors
Authors: García‐Domínguez Laura , Navas Patricia , Verdugo Miguel Ángel , Arias Víctor B. , Gómez Laura E. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractBackgroundPsychotropic medication is frequently administered to people with intellectual disability with mental health and/or behavioural problems, instead of other non‐pharmacological interventions. This study describes the mental health and behavioural problems of people aging with intellectual disability, their psychotropic medication intake, and the factors contributing to a greater medication intake.MethodThe sample consisted of 991 people with intellectual disability over 45 years. Descriptive statistics and multinominal logistic regression were carried out.ResultsAntipsychotics were the most used psychotropic drug. Older people with mild intellectual disability living in institutions and affected by mental health and behavioural problems were more likely to take larger amounts of psychotropic medication.ConclusionsAntipsychotics continue to be widely used by people with intellectual disability and mental and behavioural health problems, especially those in institutionalised settings. Future research should consider if medication intake could be reduced providing better supports in the community and non‐pharmacological interventions.

Published: April 2022

AbstractAimExploring the relationships between the different facets of beta diversity and both past and current environmental conditions can unveil the processes that have shaped spatial patterns of biodiversity. In the marine realm, large‐scale patterns and processes of beta diversity have been less investigated. Our study aimed to investigate the patterns and drivers of multiple facets of beta diversity and its components, contrasting pairs of reef fish assemblages among marine realms.LocationTropical reefs.TaxonReef fishes.MethodsBased on trait data and phylogenetic relationships for 5182 tropical reef fish species, we calculated compositional differences between pairs of reef fish assemblages across the Atlantic, the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) and the Indo‐Pacific realms. We also applied a partitioning approach to distinguish between the turnover and nestedness components. We then evaluated the relative importance of several variables related to historical and contemporary environmental conditions in shaping spatial patterns of beta diversity using Constrained Analysis of Principal coordinates (CAP) models.ResultsBoth the turnover and the nestedness components contributed to total phylogenetic and taxonomic beta diversity in the TEP and Indo‐Pacific realms, while the turnover component was found to be more important in the Atlantic realm. In contrast, total trait beta diversity displayed very low values and was primarily explained by the nestedness component. Taxonomic and phylogenetic differences in the composition of tropical reef fish assemblages were influenced by both historical and contemporary factors or solely by historical variables.Main conclusionsOur results suggest that past climate changes and historical contingency left an imprint in the present‐day composition of tropical reef fish assemblages. The very low levels of trait beta diversity indicate that reef fish assemblages display similar trait composition even among geographically distant assemblages with contrasting evolutionary histories, which may result from environmental filtering or evolutionary convergence, or the combination of both processes.
Phylogenomic dating and Bayesian biogeography illuminate an antitropical pattern for eucerine bees

Published: April 2022

AbstractAimAn antitropical pattern is characterized by the occurrence of closely related taxa south and north of the tropics but absent or uncommonly represented closer to the equator, in contrast to most taxa, which tend to have their highest diversity in the tropical regions. We investigate the antitropical distribution of eucerine bees with the aim of contributing to the characterization and understanding of this pattern.LocationAll continents except Antarctica and Australia.TaxonEucerine bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Eucerinae).MethodsWe carried out phylogenomic dating under two different clock models and used multiple strategies to vary matrix composition, evaluating the overlapping of divergence times estimated across models using Bhattacharyya coefficients. Lastly, we reconstructed the biogeographic history of eucerine bees using a Bayesian implementation of the DEC model.ResultsEucerinae is estimated to have started diversifying during the Palaeocene, with all its tribes originating during the Palaeocene/Eocene transition in southern South America. At least two range expansions happened into North America before the full closure of the Isthmus of Panama. We show that divergence between closely related groups with disjunct distributions would have happened in periods when the climate favoured the expansion of open habitats and became isolated when the forests were re‐established.Main conclusionsWe describe the early diversification of eucerine bees, revealing an intimate association with southern South America. Events of range evolution of Eucerinae were likely affected by periods of global cooling and aridification, and palaeoclimatic and vegetational conditions probably have been more relevant to the formation of the antitropical distribution of Eucerinae than the consolidation of the Isthmus of Panama connecting the Americas. We also demonstrate that most uncertainty in divergence time estimation is not due to the amount of molecular data being used, but more likely other factors like fossil calibrations and violations of clock models.
Sectoral Governance under the EU's Bilateral Agreements and the Limits of Joint Institutional Frameworks: Insights from EU‐Swiss Bilateralism for Post‐Brexit Relations with the UK
Authors: Eckert Sandra 
Published: April 2022

AbstractJoint Institutional Frameworks governing the EU's relations with third countries often fail to address important issues of sectoral governance. Non‐EU countries benefit from access to EU sectoral bodies, but this is limited, and alternative avenues of co‐operation are therefore needed. This article contributes to existing research on EU bilateral relations, which has thus far not paid sufficient attention to the external face of sectoral governance. The qualitative case comparison studies the well‐established, yet increasingly politicized bilateral co‐operation with Switzerland in order to draw insights for UK–EU relations, and contrasts two strategically important areas of market integration, namely electricity and financial markets. The findings show that politicization and (external) disintegration have repercussions for allegedly ‘technical’ areas of co‐operation where formalized requirements for EU sectoral bodies, public and private, become more stringent and less permissive to accommodate informal modes of co‐operation that in the past facilitated external participation.
‘Bigger’ after all? The Effect of Structural Policy Coordination Authorities on the Multidimensionality of Policy Output
Authors: Ophey Kristina , Schwalbach Jan 
Published: April 2022

AbstractTo be ‘bigger on big things’, Jean‐Claude Juncker reformed the European Commission's organizational set‐up by adding another hierarchical layer to its political sphere. Vice‐Presidents shall foster coordination between departmental Commissioners when drafting policies so that these are more multidimensional in kind. Taking an actor‐centred organization theoretical perspective, complemented by principal–agent reasoning, we conceptualize these as structural policy coordination authorities. We hypothesize that this organizational manipulation to a core executive's typical multidivisional set‐up incentivizes silo‐focused actors to coordinate more across policy sectors. Hence, the coordination dilemma that typically confronts core executives might be counteracted, resulting in more multidimensional policy output. Constituting a ‘case in time’, we assess whether Commission policy output has changed systematically after the Juncker reform. Using newly developed indicators for policy multidimensionality, we evaluate all legislative proposals developed under the Juncker and Barroso II Commissions. We find that proposals under Juncker are indeed ‘bigger’ than before.
Applications of maxillary tuberosity block autograft
Authors: Zufía Juan , Abella Sans Francesc 
Published: April 2022

AbstractObjectiveAutogenous bone grafts are considered the gold standard due to their compatibility and osteogenic potential to induce new bone formation through osteogenesis, osteoinduction, and osteoconduction. The aim of this paper was to describe clinical applications of the maxillary tuberosity block autograft in small and moderate localized defects of the alveolar process around implants and teeth.Clinical ConsiderationsMaxillary tuberosity is often used as a particulate graft for augmentation of deficient alveolar ridge or maxillary sinus prior to or simultaneously with implant insertion, but not as a bone block graft. The maxillary tuberosity block autograft may also provide a valuable bone source for challenging situations such as immediate implant placement into types II and III extraction sockets, treatment of horizontal and vertical bone defects with simultaneous implantation, reconstruction of circumferential defects around implants, and preservation of alveolar ridge.ConclusionsThe advantages of the maxillary tuberosity include intraoral corticocancellous autogenous graft with fewer intraoperative difficulties, no need for donor site restoration, less morbidity, and an excellent correction of localized alveolar ridge defects.Clinical SignificanceWithin the limitations of the presented case reports, the use of maxillary tuberosity block autograft has shown to be successful in alveolar ridges augmentation that lack both width and height.
Preopening price indications and market quality: Evidence from NYSE Rule 48
Authors: Chung Kee H. , Chuwonganant Chairat , Kim Youngsoo 
Published: April 2022

AbstractIn this article, we explore the role of preopening price signals in price discovery and liquidity. NYSE Rule 48 suspends the responsibility of designated market makers for disseminating preopening price indications in the event of extreme marketwide volatility. Rule 48 speeds up the opening of stocks at the expense of lower liquidity. The absence of preopening price indications results in reduced liquidity during the first 30 min of the trading day. We interpret this finding as evidence that liquidity suppliers are less willing to provide liquidity in the absence of a reference point or benchmark regarding stock value.
Investment horizon for private‐value assets: Evidence from the art market
Authors: Nozari Milad 
Published: April 2022

AbstractOver the past two decades, the idea of purchasing art as an asset class has attracted many collectors with investment goals to the art market. I examine how collectors trade art by focusing on their investment horizons. Controlling for quality and market conditions, I show that collectors' personal tastes and uncertainty in valuation could affect how long they keep their artwork. I also find that specific characteristics of artwork or artists are determinants of investment horizons. The natural conclusion of the findings is that artwork with high common market value is traded more frequently, whereas higher personal valuation can lead to longer duration ownership.

AbstractBackgroundThe present study aimed to report Australian dietetic practice regarding management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to make comparisons with the findings from a 2009 survey of dietitians and with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Evidence‐Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines (NPG).MethodsCross‐sectional surveys were conducted in 2019 and 2009 of dietitians providing medical nutrition therapy (MNT) to women with GDM in Australia. The present study compares responses on demographics, dietetic assessment and interventions, and guideline use in 2019 vs. 2009.ResultsIn total, 149 dietitians (2019) and 220 (2009) met survey inclusion criteria. In both surveys >60% of respondents reported dietary interventions aiming for >45% energy from carbohydrate, 15%–25% energy from protein and 15%–30% energy from fat. Many variations in MNT found in 2009 continued to be evident in 2019, including the percentage of energy from carbohydrate aimed for (30%–65% in 2019 vs. 20%–75% in 2009) and the wide range in the recommended minimum daily carbohydrate intake (40–220 and 60–300 g). Few dietitians reported aiming for the NPG minimum of 175 g of carbohydrate daily in both surveys (32% in 2019 vs. 26% in 2009). There were, however, some significant increases in MNT consistent with NPG recommendations in 2019 vs. 2009, including the minimum frequency of visits provided (49%, n = 61 vs. 33%, n = 69; p < 0.001) and provision of gestational weight gain advice (59%, n = 95 vs. 40%, n = 195; p < 0.05).ConclusionsAlthough many dietitians continue to provide MNT consistent with existing NPG, there is a need to support greater uptake, especially for recommendations regarding carbohydrate intake.

AbstractOur aim was to assess the significance of measuring serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) levels as a biomarker of paclitaxel‐induced peripheral neurotoxicity (PIPN). We longitudinally measured sNfL in breast cancer patients, scheduled to receive the 12‐weekly paclitaxel‐based regimen. Patients were clinically examined by means of the Total Neuropathy Score‐clinical version (TNSc), while sNfL were quantified, using the highly sensitive Simoa technique, before starting chemotherapy (baseline), after 2 (week 2) and 3 (week 3) weekly courses, and at the end of chemotherapy (week 12). Among 59 included patients (mean age: 53.1 ± 11.5 years), 33 (56%) developed grade 0‐1 and 26 (44%) grade 2‐3 PIPN at week 12. A significant longitudinal increase of sNfL levels from baseline to week‐12 was determined, whereas patients with TNSc grade 2‐3 PIPN had significantly increased sNfL levels at week 12, compared to those with grade 0‐1. receiver‐operated characteristics (ROC) analysis defined a value of NfL of >85 pg/mL at week 3 as the best discriminative determination to predict the development of grade 2‐3 PIPN at week 12 (sensitivity 46.2%, specificity 84.8%). The logistic binary regression analysis revealed that age > 50 years and the cutoff of >85 pg/mL of sNfL levels at week 3 independently predicted the development of grade 2‐3 PIPN at week 12 with a sensitivity of 46%, a specificity of 91%, and a positive and negative predictive values of 75% and 67%, respectively. sNfL levels seem to be a valuable biomarker of neuro‐axonal injury in PIPN. An early increase of this biomarker after a 3‐weekly chemotherapy course can be a predictive marker of final PIPN severity.

Published: April 2022

AbstractBackgroundAndrogenic alopecia is a common genetic disorder that characterized by progressive hair follicles and hair atrophy. Despite all available therapeutic techniques, there is low patient satisfaction rate. It seems finding new treatment options for androgenic alopecia is necessary. In the past decade, platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), an autologous collection of concentrated platelets with hemostatic and tissue repairing effects, has received developing attention for androgenetic alopecia treatment as a valuable therapeutic technique.MethodsIn this study, 8 patients suffering from resistance androgenic alopecia were enrolled. The PRP and platelet gel were prepared, and a total volume of 10 cc of the combination of PRP and platelet gel were injected in the scalp androgen‐related areas using 23‐gauge syringe. The treatment was performed one month and 3 months after first injection (three times). The hair pull test was done before treatment. The outcome was evaluated 3, 6, and 9 months after treatment by hair pull test, dermoscopy, photography, and patient's satisfaction.ResultsA significant reduction in hair loss was observed before and after treatment. Hair count (density) increased from average number of 72 (hair/cm2) to 210 hair/cm2). Also, the hair diameter was significantly increased before and after treatment for all patients (p < 0.05). After the treatment, the pull test was significantly decreased in 8 patients (p < 0.05).ConclusionThis study supports the combination therapy of PRP and platelet gel for resistance androgenic alopecia treatment. This technique is an uncomplicated, feasible, and cost‐effective treatment option for resistance androgenic alopecia, with high patient satisfaction.
