title: Narrowing the focus on the assessment of psychosis-related PTSD: a methodologically orientated systematic review

description: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in response to psychosis and associated experiences (psychosis-related PTSD, or PR-PTSD) is the subject of a growing field of research. However, a wide range of PR-PTSD prevalence rates has been reported. This may be due to definitional and methodological inconsistencies in the assessment of PR-PTSD. The focus of the review is two-fold. (1) To identify factors that enhance, or detract from, the robustness of PR-PTSD assessment and (2) to critically evaluate the evidence in relation to these identified criteria, including the impact on PR-PTSD prevalence rates. Four quality criteria, whose development was informed by mainstream PTSD research, were selected to evaluate findings on PR-PTSD prevalence. Two criteria related to assessment of psychosis-related stressors (participant identification of worst moments of discrete threat events; psychometrically robust trauma measure) and two focussed on PR-PTSD symptom measurement (adequate time elapsed since trauma; use of validated PTSD interview) in the context of psychosis. Twenty-one studies of PR-PTSD, with prevalence rates ranging from 11 to 51%, were evaluated. Fourteen studies (67%) used robust PTSD measures but PR-trauma was not specifically defined or assessed with validated measures. Eleven studies (52%) assessed PTSD before sufficient time had elapsed since the trauma. Due to significant methodological limitations, it was not possible to review PR-PTSD rates and provide a revised estimate of prevalence. Methodological limitations are common in existing studies of PR-PTSD prevalence. Specific recommendations for improving assessment of psychosis-related trauma are made to guide the development of this new and emerging field. The review concludes with a proposed conceptualisation of PR-PTSD in the context of current diagnostic systems. The utility of the PR-PTSD term and its theoretical underpinnings are discussed. “Overall, robust measures of PTSD were employed but psychosis-related trauma was not specifically defined and time since trauma was not consistently recorded Given the above methodological limitations in the assessment of PR-PTSD, a revised prevalence rate is not provided A new conceptualisation of PR-PTSD in relation to the type of stressor is proposed in the context of current diagnostic systems

title: Psychosocial predictors of treatment outcome for trauma-affected refugees

description: The effects of treatment in trials with trauma-affected refugees vary considerably not only between studies but also between patients within a single study. However, we know little about why some patients benefit more from treatment, as few studies have analysed predictors of treatment outcome. The objective of the study was to examine possible psychosocial predictors of treatment outcome for trauma-affected refugees. The participants were 195 adult refugees with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who were enrolled in a 6- to 7-month treatment programme at the Competence Centre for Transcultural Psychiatry (CTP), Denmark. The CTP Predictor Index used in the study included 15 different possible outcome predictors concerning the patients’ past, chronicity of mental health problems, pain, treatment motivation, prerequisites for engaging in psychotherapy, and social situation. The primary outcome measure was PTSD symptoms measured on the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ). Other outcome measures included the Hopkins Symptom Check List-25, the WHO-5 Well-being Index, Sheehan Disability Scale, Hamilton Depression and Anxiety Scales, the somatisation scale of the Symptoms Checklist-90, Global Assessment of Functioning scales, and pain rated on visual analogue scales. The relations between treatment outcomes and the total score as well as subscores of the CTP Predictor Index were analysed. Overall, the total score of the CTP Predictor Index was significantly correlated to pre- to post treatment score changes on the majority of the ratings mentioned above. While employment status was the only single item significantly correlated to HTQ-score changes, a number of single items from the CTP Predictor Index correlated significantly with changes in depression and anxiety symptoms, but the size of the correlation coefficients were modest. The total score of the CTP Predictor Index correlated significantly with outcomes on most of the rating scales, but correlations were modest in size, possibly due to the number of different factors influencing treatment outcome.

title: Unique neurobiology during the sensitive period for attachment produces distinctive infant trauma processing

description: Trauma has neurobehavioral effects when experienced at any stage of development, but trauma experienced in early life has unique neurobehavioral outcomes related to later life psychiatric sequelae. Recent evidence has further highlighted the context of infant trauma as a critical variable in determining its immediate and enduring consequences. Trauma experienced from an attachment figure, such as occurs in cases of caregiver child maltreatment, is particularly detrimental. Using data primarily from rodent models, we review the literature on the interaction between trauma and attachment in early life, which highlights the role of the caregiver's presence in engagement of attachment brain circuitry and suppressing threat processing by the amygdala. We then consider how trauma with and without the caregiver produces long-term changes in emotionality and behavior, and suggest that these experiences initiate distinct pathways to pathology. Together these data suggest that infant trauma processing and its enduring effects are impacted by both the immaturity of brain areas for processing trauma and the unique functioning of the early-life brain, which is biased toward processing information within the attachment circuitry. An understanding of developmental differences in trauma processing as well as the critical role of the caregiver in further altering early life brain processing of trauma is important for developing age-relevant treatment and interventions. Trauma experienced in early life has been linked with life-long outcomes for mental health through a mechanism that remains unclear. Trauma experienced in the presence of a caregiver has unique consequences. The infant brain is predisposed toward processing information using attachment circuitry rather than threat circuitry. Data from rodent models suggest that repeated trauma in the presence of a caregiver prematurely engages brain areas important for threat, which may play a role in deleterious outcome.

title: Phenotypic Characterization of Camels and their Production System in Yabello and Melka Soda Districts, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

description: The objectives of the study were to characterize the production system of camel in Yabello and Melka Soda districts and to characterize phenotypically camel based on quantitative and qualitative traits. A total of 192 households were selected for characterization of the production system and 300 camels were sampled randomly for characterization of phenotypic traits. Camels of Melka Soda had significantly higher in heart girth, barrel girth, body weight, hip width, chest depth and hump circumference (P&lt;0.05) than Yabello camels. Sex of the camels had significant (P&lt;0.05) effect on forelimb length, hind limb length, wither height, heart girth, barrel girth, body weight, chest width, hump circumference, hump length, fore hoof circumference and hind hoof circumference. Body weight and all the body measurements were significantly (P&lt;0.05) affected by age. Heart girth and barrel girth were found to be the most important variables for estimation of body weight in camels. In male sample populations of linear body measurements, heart girth and barrel girth had strong positive correlation (r=0.93) with body weight. In female sample camels body weight had strong positive and significant (P&lt;0.05) correlation with heart girth (r=0.95). This phenotypic information can serve as a basis for designing appropriate conservation, breeding and selection strategies for camels in the study area and could be complemented with genetic analyses. Thus attention should be given to exploit the performance of camels based on their specialization to fulfill the current demand of camel and camel by-products in the Borena and also in different parts of the country. The present study can be used to understand the camel resources of the study sites for future genetic improvement and conservation actions.

title: Effect of Inoculating Bradyrhizobium on Phosphorus Use Efficiency and Nutrient Uptake of Soybean in Calcareous Soil, Central Rift Valley, Ethiopia

description: At a soil pH value of above 7.0, inorganic phosphorus (P) is highly susceptible to precipitation as insoluble form that is unavailable to plants. Hence, a field experiment was conducted at Metehara Sugar Estate under irrigation during the 2014/15 cropping season to evaluate the effect of inoculating Bradyrhizobium on P uptake and P use efficiency of soybean intercropped with sugarcane. The treatments consisted of three levels of inoculation (Legume fix, SB6B1 and uninoculated) and four rates of P (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg Pha-1). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) in a factorial arrangement and replicated three times. Analysis of the data indicated that Bradyrhizobium inoculation significantly increased plant N concentration and P uptake compared to the uninoculated treatment. The effect of P rates and its interaction with inoculation was not significant on N concentration and P uptake, but significantly increased total P uptake at the application of 30 kg Pha-1. Phosphorus use efficiency indices were improved in response to inoculating the crop with Bradyrhizobium. The highest AE (13.6 kg kg-1), PRE (31.8%) and PUE (10.6 kg kg-1) were obtained by SB6B1 inoculation and the highest PE (117.2 kg kg-1) and APE (161.7 kg kg-1) were obtained by Legumefix inoculation all at 10 kg P ha-1except PE which recorded the highest at 30 kg P ha-1.Thus, it can be concluded that SB6B1 isolate can be used as the best inoculant followed by Legumefix isolate with 10 kg P ha-1of P fertilizer. However, strategies for increasing P use efficiency by adopting best management practices like co-inoculation of phosphate solubilizing microorganism or mycorrhiza with these Bradyrhizobium inoculants should be adopted to enhance P use efficiencies.

title: Genetic Diversity in Ethiopian Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Germplasm Collections as Revealed by SSR Markers

description: Field pea is an ancient legume crop grown mainly for food in Ethiopia. Even though, there are over one thousand five hundred field pea collections, only a few studies has been conducted on the magnitude and pattern of genetic diversity at molecular level particularly with SSR markers. In this study, genetic diversity of 142 contrasting Ethiopian field pea germplasm were investigated using SSR markers. Euclidean Distance Matrix clustered the collections into seven distinct groups. There were 20 collections in Cluster I, 11 in Cluster II, 5 in Cluster III, 41 in Cluster IV, 17 in Cluster V, 18 in Cluster VI and 30 in Cluster VII. The first, second and third principal components accounted for variation of 76.85%, 6.89% and 6.06%, respectively. There was no definite relationship between pattern of molecular diversity and collection zones, enlightening high levels of intra and inter-genetic diversity of the germplasm. The SSRs used in this study showed relatively higher polymorphic information content (PIC), ranging from 0.33 to 0.95. This indicates that markers used in this study would be useful for genetic diversity analysis of pea. The study exposed that there is wealth of genetic diversity in the gene pool to exploit in field pea breeding and conservation endeavors.

title: Supplementary Material for: Trabecular bone score as an index of bone fragility in patients with acromegaly: a systematic review and meta-analysis

description: Background. Acromegaly is characterized by impaired bone quality and increased fracture risk. However, due to the pathophysiology of acromegalic osteopathy, bone mineral density (BMD) does not represent a reliable predictor for fragility fractures in this setting. Trabecular bone score (TBS) has been recently evaluated as an alternative index of skeletal fragility in acromegalic patients. However, no conclusive data are still available in this regard. Methods. PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Ovid and CINAHL databases were systematically searched until June 2022 for studies reporting data either about the comparison of TBS values between acromegalic patients and non-acromegalic controls, or about the relationship – within acromegalic patients – between TBS values and fracture risk. Effect sizes were pooled through a random-effect model. Results. Eight studies were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis, encompassing 336 acromegalic patients and 490 non-acromegalic controls. Overall, TBS was significantly lower in acromegalic patients compared to controls (-0.089, 95%CI: {-0.111,-0.067}, p&lt;0.01), irrespectively to acromegaly disease activity and gonadal status. With respect to fracture risk, TBS was significantly lower in acromegalic patients with vertebral fractures than in those without (-0.099, 95%CI: {-0.166,-0.032}, p&lt;0.01). Conclusion. In this meta-analysis, we specifically assessed the role of TBS as an index of bone quality and fracture risk in patients with acromegaly. Our results support the notion that TBS could be of value in the assessment and management of skeletal fragility in acromegalic patients, especially in light of the poor information provided in this setting by BMD.

title: Effects of Phosphorus Fertilization and Seed Dressing Fungicide on Occurrence of Pea Aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) and Yield of Lentil

description: Study on the effect of phosphorus fertilization and seed dressing fungicide on occurrence of pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum and yield of lentil was conducted at Debre Zeit and Chefe Donsa for six consecutive years. Lentil genotypes Alemaya and ILL-7664 were sown at the rate of 60kg/ha on 2m wide and 4m long plots. Treatments consisted Apron star 42WS (@ 2.5g per kilogram seed), phosphorus fertilizer (DAP @ 100kg/ha), dimethoate (@ 1.8l/ha in spray volume of 200l/ha) as standard check and untreated control. Pea aphids were sampled by gently beating lentil plants on 20cm by 39cm counting board. The insecticide was applied when the average pea aphid density was ≥20 per 130cm2. The treatments were combined in factorial combination and tested in randomized complete block design with four replications. Pea aphid infested lentil on all treatments at both locations and in all years. Although statistically nonsignificant, fertilized and seed dressed lentils had greater pea aphid density than the untreated control. On the other hand, spraying insecticide (dimethoate) significantly reduced pea aphid density. However, in all years and both locations, the yield of phosphorus fertilized, seed dressed and insecticide treated lentils were not statistically different from the untreated control.
