Up to one third of people with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy experience mask anxiety. However, there is limited literature guiding the role of health professionals, including occupational therapists, in managing mask anxiety. This study aimed to explore the content of occupational therapy interactions with people who have identified mask anxiety.

A cohort of 20 participants with identified mask anxiety engaged in semi-structured interviews with occupational therapists. Theoretical thematic analysis and the framework provided by the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E) were employed to explore the content of occupational therapy interactions with people experiencing mask anxiety.

Theoretical thematic analysis identified 13 relevant themes with 49 codes relating to the interaction between participants and occupational therapists. Analysis of these interactions identified the occupational therapy role to be holistic and multifaceted. The cognitive, affectiv interactions. Future research is required to further define this role and its efficacy in managing mask anxiety.
Tomato is one of the widely cultivated crops worldwide that is affected by several pests, such as fungi (Fusarium oxysoporum, Alternaria solani), bacteria (Pectobacterium carotovorum) and weeds (Cyperus iria L., Amaranthus spinosus). A growing interest has emerged for developing plant-derived pesticidal compounds to counteract these pests. One attractive alternative is to use barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), known to be widely resistant to synthetic herbicides, as a potential biopesticide compound source.

Phytochemical screening of the crude extract showed that phenolic compounds were the most abundant component present in barnyard grass. The crude extract was evaluated for antifungal, antibacterial and herbicidal activities. Bioassays showed inhibition against F. oxysporum (10.73 ± 1.30%) and A. solani (20.47 ± 3.51%), the causative agent of Fusarium rot and early blight disease in tomato, respectively. Antibacterial activity against P. carotovorum gave a mean zone of inhibition (paper disc diffusion assay) of 17.00 ± 1.00 mm and an IC
(dose-response assay) of 2.26 mg mL
was observed. Dose-responsive herbicidal activity on the lettuce seed germination bioassay produced an IC
of 459.30 ppm. Selectivity studies showed inhibition towards C. iria and A. spinosus with no effect on tomato. Lastly, bioassay-guided fractionation coupled with untargeted metabolomics studies using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection-tandem mass spectrometry mass analyses revealed loliolide and tricin as the putative metabolites present in barnyard grass.

To date, this is the first reported study on using barnyard grass as a potential alternative biopesticide against tomato pests such as fungi, bacteria and weeds. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

RSIV-type megalocytiviruses show extremely high nucleotide sequence identities. Thus, epidemiological studies on this virus are limited. This study developed two primer sets amplifying the regions possessing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) to determine the relationships and divergence of RSIV-type megalocytiviruses isolated from cultured marine fishes in Japan. The two regions were designed according to the genome sequences of the representative RSIV genotype II of megalocytivirus members in GenBank. JQ1 The SNP 1 and 2 regions have sequences homologous to hypothetical protein ORF 24 and ORF 31, respectively, of RSIV (accession no. AP017456.1). By sequencing the regions, 53 polymorphic sites were identified. The phylogenetic analysis of 25 RSIV-type megalocytivirus isolates, classified into RSIV cluster, was clustered into eight haplotypes (seven haplotypes from Oita, two haplotypes from Ehime, and one haplotype shared between Oita and Ehime). link2 These findings suggested that SNP in the RSIV genome is a powerful application for the detection and identification of RSIV-type megalocytiviruses.
Patients taking part in a tertiary individual prevention program (TIP) for work-related skin diseases frequently have chronic hand eczema (HE) for which alitretinoin is a treatment option.

To investigate treatment with alitretinoin before and during the TIP and related factors.

Data of 1614 patients taking part in the TIP between January 2015 and December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.

Three hundred forty-eight patients (21.6%) reported treatment with alitretinoin prior to the TIP showing an increase over time, particularly in men. In 45 patients (2.8%), alitretinoin treatment was initiated during the TIP. Treatment with alitretinoin was significantly less common among female than male patients, both prior to (P < .001) and during the TIP (P=.015). Female patients who had received alitretinoin in the past were significantly older than the other female patients (P < .001). Among patients treated with alitretinoin prior to the TIP, women had a significantly higher disease severity at admission than men (P=.007).

About twenty percent of patients reported treatment with alitretinoin prior to the TIP. The data indicate that treatment of female TIP patients with alitretinoin is less frequent than among male patients and depends on age and disease severity.

Aromatic herbs are an important source of bioactive compounds. Different cultivation systems should give each plant a specific amount of those compounds, which should be of a particular quality. In this study, the effects of three cultivation systems (indoor, greenhouse, and organic field) on the composition of bioactive compounds in parsley (Petroselinum crispum cv. 'Flat Leaf'), green basil (Ocimum basilicum var. minimum cv. 'Greek'), and purple basil (Ocimum basilicum cv. 'Red Rubin') were evaluated.

β-Carotene and lutein were the carotenoids with the highest concentration in the three plants in all the cultivation systems. Overall, parsley proved to be a source of flavonoids. The major phenolic compound found in basil plants was rosmarinic acid, whereas most anthocyanins were derived from cyanidin aglycone. Among the three plants studied, the highest vitamin C content was found in parsley from the field. This was 2.6 and 5.4 times higher than the indoor and greenhouse cultivation, respectively.

The results suggest that different cultivation systems influence and modulate the concentration of bioactive compounds in plants differently, varying according to their class, and that, above all, an indoor system is an effective cultivation system for the production of bioactive compounds. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

We examined the characteristics of non-profit hospitals providing more community benefits and charity care than value of their tax exemptions and how this relationship changed between 2011 and 2018.

Primary dataset was schedule H Form IRS 990 data. This data was merged with the American Hospital Association, Medicare Hospital Cost Report, and the America Community Survey.

We measured six categories of tax benefits and 17 types of community benefits. Subtracting the average value of community benefits provided by for-profit hospitals, we computed incremental community benefit and charity care provided by each non-profit hospital.

A nationally representative sample was created of 11 776 non-profit hospital-year observations from 1472 unique hospitals over the 2011 to 2018 period was created. Descriptive analyses and random effect logistic regression were used to show associations between hospital characteristics and difference between incremental net community benefits and the value of tax-exemption.

munity benefits and charity care.
The amount of community benefits and charity care provided by non-profits varied substantially across non-profit hospitals. Establishing minimum requirements for non-profit hospitals or publicly ranking hospitals based on their community benefit or charity care contributions, could encourage greater community benefits and charity care.The genetic causes in most of patients with oocyte maturation arrest remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified a homozygous missense mutation (c.895T>C; p.C299R) in TBPL2 (TATA box binding protein like 2) in two infertile sisters with oocyte maturation arrest and degeneration from a consanguineous family by whole-exome sequencing. link3 The TBPL2 mutation is rare and pathogenic, and impaired the transcription initiation function of the protein. Our results showed that TBPL2 mutation might be associated with female infertility due to oocyte maturation arrest and degeneration.Substantial developmental changes in sleep occur during the preschool period, but few studies have investigated the factors that forecast these developments. The aim of this study was to examine whether three aspects of father-child relationships in toddlerhood predicted individual differences in developmental patterns of change in five actigraphy-derived sleep variables during the preschool period (N = 67; sleep assessed yearly between 2 and 4 years). In a predominantly White and middle-to-higher income sample, paternal mind-mindedness and quality of father-child interactions were assessed during father-child free play at 18 months and fathers self-reported on their involvement in childrearing at age 2. Multilevel growth modeling revealed that children whose father made more mind-related comments during father-child interactions had a higher proportion of sleep taking place during nighttime as well as shorter daytime and total sleep duration at 2 years. This was, however, followed by a relative leveling off (i.e., less rapid change) of these sleep features between 2 and 4 years. Given previous studies documenting that nighttime sleep proportion increases while daytime and total sleep duration decrease during preschool years, the findings suggest that children who are exposed to more paternal mind-mindedness may reach more mature sleep patterns earlier in development.The success of invasive plants is influenced by many interacting factors, but evaluating multiple possible mechanisms of invasion success and elucidating the relative importance of abiotic and biotic drivers is challenging, and therefore rarely achieved. We used live, sterile or inoculated soil from different soil origins (native range and introduced range plantation; and invaded plots spanning three different countries) in a fully factorial design to simultaneously examine the influence of soil origin and soil abiotic and biotic factors on the growth of invasive Pinus contorta. Our results displayed significant context dependency in that certain soil abiotic conditions in the introduced ranges (soil nitrogen, phosphorus or carbon content) influenced responses to inoculation treatments. Our findings do not support the enemy release hypothesis or the enhanced mutualism hypothesis, as biota from native and plantation ranges promoted growth similarly. Instead, our results support the missed mutualism hypothesis, as biota from invasive ranges were the least beneficial for seedling growth.
