Authors: Zhang Yuning , Liu Shouzheng , Wang Yunwen , Wang Yue 
Published: November 2022

BackgroundEpidemiological surveys have found that particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) plays an important role in hypothyroidism. However, due to the methodological limitations of traditional observational studies, it is difficult to make causal inferences. In the present study, we assessed the causal association between PM2.5 concentrations and risk of hypothyroidism using two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR).MethodsWe performed TSMR by using aggregated data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on the IEU Open GWAS database. We identified seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with PM2.5 concentrations as instrumental variables (IVs). We used inverse-variance weighting (IVW) as the main analytical method, and we selected MR-Egger, weighted median, simple model, and weighted model methods for quality control.ResultsMR analysis showed that PM2.5 has a positive effect on the risk of hypothyroidism: An increase of 1 standard deviation (SD) in PM2.5 concentrations increases the risk of hypothyroidism by ~10.0% (odds ratio 1.10, 95% confidence interval 1.06–1.13, P = 2.93E-08, by IVW analysis); there was no heterogeneity or pleiotropy in the results.ConclusionIn conclusion, increased PM2.5 concentrations are associated with an increased risk of hypothyroidism. This study provides evidence of a causal relationship between PM2.5 and the risk of hypothyroidism, so air pollution control may have important implications for the prevention of hypothyroidism.

BackgroundFamily physicians play a key role in responding to the growing demand for primary healthcare due to aging. The work attitude of family physician team members (FPTMs) impacts their work efficiency and quality. Knowing how satisfied they are with their jobs can help identify potential directions and entry points for incentives. The purpose of this study is to analyze the job satisfaction status and influencing factors of grassroots health service personnel after the implementation of the family physician contract system in China.MethodsThe study conducted a cross-sectional survey with 570 FPTMs in three prefecture-level cities in the Shandong Province. Satisfaction was measured using 30 items across seven dimensions. Responses were recorded on a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to analyze the general information and satisfaction of FPTMs. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing job satisfaction.ResultsThe overall job satisfaction among FPTMs was not high. Among the seven dimensions, interpersonal relationships had the highest satisfaction (4.10 ± 0.78), while workload had the lowest satisfaction (3.08 ± 0.56). The satisfaction levels of the three sample regions were different, and the results were opposite to their regional economic development levels. The results of the multifactor analysis showed that gender, income level, educational background, working years, daily working hours, number of training sessions per year and the proportion of performance pay had significant impact on overall job satisfaction.ConclusionsThe development of a family physician contract system has increased the workload of FPTMs. In addition to the implementation of the new policy, attention should be paid to the workload and working attitude of family physicians. The fundamental measures should focus on attracting more personnel to work at the grassroots level by accelerating education and training to solve the problem of insufficient health personnel at the grassroots level. Simultaneously, attention should be paid to the improvement of the medical staff's salary level and the need for self-promotion, such as training.

BackgroundThe monkeypox outbreak in non-endemic countries in recent months has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). It is thought that festivals, parties, and other gatherings may have contributed to the outbreak.MethodsWe considered a hypothetical metropolitan city and modeled the transmission of the monkeypox virus in humans in a high-risk group (HRG) and a low-risk group (LRG) using a Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) model and incorporated gathering events. Model simulations assessed how the vaccination strategies combined with other public health measures can contribute to mitigating or halting outbreaks from mass gathering events.ResultsThe risk of a monkeypox outbreak was high when mass gathering events occurred in the absence of public health control measures. However, the outbreaks were controlled by isolating cases and vaccinating their close contacts. Furthermore, contact tracing, vaccinating, and isolating close contacts, if they can be implemented, were more effective for the containment of monkeypox transmission during summer gatherings than a broad vaccination campaign among HRG, when accounting for the low vaccination coverage in the overall population, and the time needed for the development of the immune responses. Reducing the number of attendees and effective contacts during the gathering could also prevent a burgeoning outbreak, as could restricting attendance through vaccination requirements.ConclusionMonkeypox outbreaks following mass gatherings can be made less likely with some restrictions on either the number and density of attendees in the gathering or vaccination requirements. The ring vaccination strategy inoculating close contacts of confirmed cases may not be enough to prevent potential outbreaks; however, mass gatherings can be rendered less risky if that strategy is combined with public health measures, including identifying and isolating cases and contact tracing. Compliance with the community and promotion of awareness are also indispensable to containing the outbreak.

Published: November 2022

BackgroundInfertility is a severe crisis in life that, in addition to creating psychological problems and disrupting a parent's identity and role, negatively impacts couples' marital satisfaction. Different studies in this field have reported different results, so this systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the marital satisfaction standard score among infertile Iranian women.MethodThe databases of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Scientific Information Database, and MagIran were searched without a time limit. We used the meta-analysis and a random-effects model to estimate the marital satisfaction pooled score. The heterogeneity of studies was examined with the I2 index and Cochrane's Q test. The correlation between the pooled score with the publication year and the mean age of women was evaluated using meta-regression. We assessed the publication bias by the Egger test.ResultsSeventeen studies with a sample size of 2,421 people were analyzed. The marital satisfaction pooled score of infertile women was 49% (95% CI: 39–60%). The marital satisfaction score in region 1 of the country (54, 95% CI: 42.7–65.3%) was higher than in other regions (45, 95% CI: 40–58%). Also, the marital satisfaction pooled score based on the Enrich scale (54, 95% CI: 39–69%) was higher than the score reported on other scales (45, 95% CI: 29–61%). Publication bias was not significant.ConclusionInfertile women have moderate to low marital satisfaction, rooted in the culture and context of Iranian society. It seems necessary to provide measures to strengthen marital satisfaction, strengthen family relationships and prevent family disintegration in these women.

IntroductionRecently, emerging contaminants have been discovered in the aquatic environment that can cause a range of human diseases, including cancer. In this study, our scientometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of emerging contaminants and cancer research from 2012 to 2021.MethodsThe Web of Science Core Collection Database was used to retrieve all related publications. The bibliometix R-package, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer were applied to collect information on annual citations and publications, famous journals and authors, the most productive countries and organizations, popular topics, and keywords.ResultsA total of 2378 publications were retrieved. The publication's output showed a gradual upward trend from 2012 to 2021. The most-cited paper was a review article by Vandenberg et al. that was published in 2012. According to the analysis results, the United States published the most articles. The closest collaboration was between the United States and China. Environmental Research and Science of The Total Environment published the most paper. It was Choi KC who was the most productive and had the highest h-index, g-index, and m-index among the authors. The most frequently used keywords were “exposure,” “endocrine-disrupting chemicals,” “endocrine disruptors,” “cancer,” “bisphenol-a,” and so on.DiscussionEmerging contaminants play a significant role in cancer development. However, most studies are conducted in vivo with human cells or animal models, and relatively few are on human models. The scientometric analysis offers researchers a clear picture of the current state of research and hotspots in this field. From our study, researchers may find some hotspots that merit in-depth investigation.

Authors: Natnael Tarikuwa 
Published: November 2022

ObjectiveUnhealthy behaviors during swimming exposes at risk of recreational water-associated diseases. The swimming pool users are the high-risk group for getting and transmitting the diseases. Thus, conducting a study on swimming pool users' health-related behaviors is crucial to prevent the transmission of recreational water-associated diseases.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was employed among 140 randomly selected swimming pool users from April 1st to 30th, 2021 in Kombolcha Town. Data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire and an on-the-spot-observational checklist. The collected data were entered to EpiData version 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 25 for data cleaning and analysis. Determinants of health-related behaviors were identified by using a multivariable logistic regression model at ap-value &lt; 0.05.ResultsThe overall good health-related behavior among swimming pool users was 41.4% (95% CI: 33.6–49.3). Out of the total 140 swimming pool users, 55% (95% CI: 46.4–62.9) had good knowledge about health risks during swimming. Good knowledge about health risks during swimming (AOR = 9.64; 95% CI: 3.14–29.61), educational status of college or above (AOR = 6.52; 95% CI: 1.76–24.10) and age being &gt; 28 years (AOR = 6.49; 95% CI: 2.34–18) were factors significantly associated with good health-related behaviors.ConclusionThe finding of the study showed that the majority of the swimming pool users had poor health-related behaviors. Thus, Kombolcha Town Health Bureau and swimming pool managers should give attention to this population to enhance health-related behaviors through addressing the significant predictors.
Verification of PCSWMM's LID processes and their scalability over time and space
Authors: Zhang Zhonghao , Valeo Caterina 
Published: November 2022

IntroductionThis paper explores the scalability of PCSWMM's Low Impact Development (LID) modeling tools within the urban stormwater computer model.MethodsThe scalability is assessed for a variety of spatial and temporal scales and for event (50-year return storm) and continuous inputs (daily rainfall for an 11 month period), and with a focus on bioretention cells. The model is calibrated for a moderate to large scale, semi-urban watershed on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Sensitivity analysis and specialized metrics are used to verify internal model processes at a variety of scales.ResultsWith regard to spatial scaling, changes in flow path length and slope derived from Digital Elevation Models were the most impactful spatial information when modeling flood event and the model's surface layer was the dominant contributor to peak flowrate and volume mitigation by the bioretention cell. However, when modeling the continuous rainfall inputs, storage layer related parameters dominated model outputs. Aside from the soil layer's depth, soil layer parameters such as hydraulic conductivity, showed negligible influence on response to time series rainfall. Parameters that are kept static by the model such as vegetation cover, hydraulic conductivity and storage void ratio (but are naturally dynamic), were tested for their impact on response if allowed to change seasonally or with excessive loading. Runoff coefficients were greatly impacted by storage layer parameter dynamics with very little impact from vegetation. For event simulations, the berm height in the surface layer was the dominant player in reducing peak flow as well as total volume. An analysis to help illustrate sensitivity across spatial scales is proposed.DiscussionThe Spatial Dynamic Sensitivity Analysis shows that parameter sensitivity changes dynamically as LID implementation percentage changes. In particular, the clogging factor, which is a parameter associated with the storage layer, was highly influential for time series rainfall analysis. The LID model concepts in PCSWM seem appropriate for events because the surface layer dominates the response for very large storms. For smaller storms, continuous time series, and larger spatial scales, the model could be revised to better represent soil layer dynamics and vegetation cover, which were both currently inconsequential to the model's output.

IntroductionBiological sample collection from wild and farms animals is often associated with difficulties related to the handling and restraint procedures, and most of the time it could induce stress, altering the welfare and physiological homeostasis. The analysis of fecal T3 metabolites (FTMs) allows to test samples collected in a non-invasive manner, providing several information about the animal's physiological conditions and the effects related to environmental and nutritional variations. This procedure has found wide application in wild species, but less in domestic ones.MethodsThe aim of this work was to validate the use of an immuno-enzymatic competitive ELISA kit, designed for T3 quantification in human blood serum samples, for the assessment of FTMs in the sheep. For the analytical validation, precision, recovery and parallelism were evaluated; for biological validation the variations of FTMs in relation to age, sex and the physiological status of the animal were determined.ResultsAfter a verification of the precision (RSD % &lt; 15%), mean recovery (75%) and parallelism (CV% &lt; 10%), the kit was used to measure FTMs in cyclic, pregnant, and early lactating ewes as well as in rams and ewe lambs. The results showed that FTMs concentrations in pregnant ewes were significantly lower (p &lt; 0.05) than in cyclic and early lactation ones. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in FTMs levels between ewes and rams, while in lambs FTMs levels were higher than in adults (p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionIn conclusion the present study demonstrates that FTMs can be reliably and accurately determined in sheep feces, using an ELISA kit formulated for human serum T3 assay. The application of this method in the livestock sector could allow to improve our knowledge about the response of animals to different physiological and environmental conditions, and thus assess their welfare.

RESUMO A pesquisa mostra que o nascimento da contabilidade está atrelado de modo fundamental a existência da igreja e ao se estudar história da contabilidade nas doutrinas existentes isso não está escrito, não se mostra a importância dos movimentos religiosos para a ascenção da ciência e o quanto a religião teve uma importância fundamental na evolução da contabilidade. Este estudo tem como objetivo mostrar a contribuição da igreja para a evolução da contabilidade . O desejo é mostrar como uma ciência voltada para o estudo da riqueza patrimonial teve como contribuição para o seu nascimento, a religião. O método utilizado foi o bibliográfico e os resultados alcançados comprovaram que sem a religião a contabilidade não teria o alcance científico outrora conquistado.Palavras – chave: Contabilidade; História; Religião
