Therefore, this review provides sufficient evidence for the anticancer therapeutic potential of Curcumae Rhizoma and its terpenoids, and will contribute to the development of potential anticancer drugs.Liquid crystal biosensors serve an essential role to detect biomolecules and chemical events as an effective, simple and early detection tool. The detection of Human serum albumin protein by a room temperature liquid crystal 4́-pentyl-4-biphenylcarbonitrile has been investigated using multiple techniques such as Polarizing optical microscope, Raman spectroscopy and molecular docking. The dynamics of director transfigurations of the liquid crystal molecule in the presence of protein through interactions are reported in the study. The change in the alignment of liquid crystal molecules during the nematic phase is observed under a polarizing optical microscope. The interactions through which the liquid crystal molecules bind with protein is depicted from the docking analysis. The residues in the active sites confirm their presence from docking studies. The spectral behaviour has been investigated by temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy. The findings from Raman spectra for the interaction between these compounds correlates with the residues confirmed from molecular docking analysis.Endohedral fullerenes with paramagnetic encapsulated atoms are new magnetic materials of interest for numerous applications from medicine to quantum computers. An important phenomenon with endohedral fullerenes is the appearance of new vibrational frequencies not associated with empty fullerenes. The vibrational spectra of the lanthanide endohedral fullerenes La@C60 and Ce@C60 in various spin states are calculated using the density functional method. Most of the spectral lines lie in the 300-1600 cm-1range, and their intensities change dramatically depending on the molecule's symmetry and spin state, which are determined by the encapsulated lanthanide atom. The average frequency shift of the carbon cage vibrations caused by spin transition is only 5 cm-1. The calculated frequencies of the coupled "metal-carbon cage" vibrations of the lanthanide endohedral fullerenes La@C60 and Ce@C60 in various spin states lie in the 10-170 cm-1range. The computational results for both the frequencies and intensities of the metal-cage modes depend considerably on the spin state. The changes in these vibrational modes are due to the changes in the molecular symmetry and the metal-carbon bond lengths. Such dependence can be used as a basis for controlling the spin state of metallofullerenes by measuring the vibration frequencies in the far-infrared zone, which could be important for nanoelectronics and quantum informatics.The present work envisioned to synthesize europium complexes [Eu-(L)3-phen] (where, L is 4,4,4-Trifluoro-1-(2-furyl)-1,3-butanedione (TFB), phen-1,10 -phenanthroline) and its hybrids via embedding pure complex into silica and PMMA. The sol-gel method was adopted for incorporating europium complex into silica matrix as [Eu-(L)3-phen]-silica and this method was proved to be highly effective and excellent approach for obtaining such lanthanide hybrid material. Another hybrid was prepared by incorporating complex into PMMA (polymethyl methyl acrylate), an organic polymer, transformed into flexible thin film. The structure of the [Eu-(L)3-phen] was elucidated using various spectroscopic techniques, moreover Sparkle model calculation were utilized for prediction of ground state geometry. The photophysical properties of pure complex [Eu-(L)3-phen] and its hybrids were studied in detail and compared. The incorporation of pure complex into PMMA is highly supportive to enhance the stability of complex as evident from enhanced luminescent intensity, intensity ratio value 6.52, longer lifetime value 842μs and higher quantum efficiency 77% over pure complex. The organic polymer PMMA is expected to interact well with europium complex via antenna effect. The use of such inorganic and organic entities for hybrid preparation purposefully overcomes the flaws of lanthanide complexes in terms of thermal stability and mechanical strength. The promising and fascinating properties of synthesized lanthanide hybrids are fruitful in material research.This study aims to examine the association between province-level socioeconomic welfare factors and depression symptoms among older adults in China. Province-level socioeconomic characteristics were merged with microdata for respondents over 65 years from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) Wave 4 (N = 6657). Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to extract three socioeconomic welfare factors constructed from 14 province-level variables. SAMe A Bayesian mixed-effects logistic model was applied to measure the association between the three socioeconomic welfare factors and depression symptoms while controlling for socio-demographic variables. The PCA showed that economic welfare, medical resource welfare, and social service welfare together explained 72.2 percent of the total variance of the 14 province-level variables. It was found that increasing economic welfare was significantly associated with a lower probability of depression symptoms (OR = 0.806, 95%CI [0.674, 0.967]), while medical facilities were associated with a higher probability of depression symptoms (OR = 1.181, 95%CI [1.029, 1.354]) among Chinese older adults. link2 Uncertainty existed as to whether having access to social welfare (OR = 0.941, 95%CI [0.835, 1.060]) was associated with prevalence of depression. Thus, improved socioeconomic welfare systems for older adults (which possibly require an increase in spending) are necessary to contribute further to reduced depression risk in China. link3 Policymakers should also improve the utilization of medical resources to mitigate the incidence of depression among the elderly in China.Identity transformation and stigma management have been widely acknowledged as significant factors in various drug-cessation pathways, such as self-change (SC) and treatment-change (TC). These processes involve the employment of symbolic boundaries within which people associate themselves with desired groups and/or distance themselves from less desirable ones. However, the relevance of the drug-cessation pathway to identity construction in an era of drug-use normalization has not yet been explored. The present study used thematic discourse analysis to compare the drug-cessation narrative and the reflected identity construction of 41 former drug users in Israel (25 SCs and 16 TCs). The findings revealed a shared trigger for drug cessation that was related to impaired functionality and a threat to their identity. However, the groups differed in other drug-cessation factors that served their identity-negotiation strategies. The SCs negotiated stigma by distancing themselves from other drugs users, minimizing drug risk, and denying the need for drug treatment. In contrast, the TCs negotiated stigma by distancing themselves from their former user identities, embracing the disease model of drug use, and confirming the necessity of treatment. This identity construction reflects continuous framing of ideals of subjectivity, such as self-regulation, which policy makers and treatment stakeholders should consider in developing services and conveying substance-use policy messages.
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV, substance use, and stigma related to co-existing or intersecting identities that are stigmatized or devalued by society (e.g., being a sexual minority male, a person living with HIV, or a person who uses substances). Evidence indicates that when stigma is internalized it may act as a barrier to engagement in self-care behaviors.

Gaining a better understanding of how intersecting internalized stigmas affect HIV self-care among MSM who use substances.

To investigate these relationships, we conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews until we reached thematic saturation (n=33) with HIV+MSM who use substances and were sub-optimally engaged in HIV care. Interviews inquired about identity, internalized stigmas, substance use, HIV self-care behaviors, and interrelationships between concepts.

Our sample was 61% African American and 76% reported annual incomes of ≤$20,000. Approximately half of the participants explicitly described hob-optimally engaged in HIV care.This article examines clinical practice guidelines (CPG) in the courtroom. The guidelines in question are Finnish national current care guidelines for brain injuries, and the case context is traffic insurance compensation cases contested in the Helsinki district court. We analyse 11 case verdicts qualitatively, drawing from earlier sociological and theoretical accounts of clinical practice guidelines and evidence-based medicine. What makes the case-type relevant for studying clinical practice guidelines is the fact that the cases, which feature a medical dispute concerning traumatic brain injury, involve highly specialized expertise and contradictory expert claims, but the cases are decided in a generalist court by non-expert judges. What we show in the article is how the guidelines structure, sequence and initiate temporal reworking in the judges' representation of medical evidence and testimony, and how the plaintiffs' delayed diagnoses complicate the application of the CPG in the evaluation. We further discuss the guidelines' epistemic authority in the verdicts and finish by comparing the 2008 and 2017 editions of Finnish CPGs for brain injuries, suggesting a multifaceted, courtroom-mediated feedback loop between the patient-plaintiffs and the clinical practice guidelines.In many low- and middle-income countries, providers without formal training are an important source of antibiotics, but may provide these inappropriately, contributing to the rising burden of drug resistant infections. Informal providers (IPs) who practise allopathic medicine are part of India's pluralistic health system legacy. They outnumber formal providers but operate in a policy environment of unclear legitimacy, creating unique challenges for antibiotic stewardship. Using a systems approach we analysed the multiple intrinsic (provider specific) and extrinsic (community, health and regulatory system and pharmaceutical industry) drivers of antibiotic provision by IPs in rural West Bengal, to inform the design of community stewardship interventions. We surveyed 291 IPs in randomly selected village clusters in two contrasting districts and conducted in-depth interviews with 30 IPs and 17 key informants including pharmaceutical sales representatives, managers and wholesalers/retailers; medically qualified prabling strategies to improve antibiotic provision due to legal barriers. We discuss the implications for a multi-stakeholder antibiotic stewardship strategy in this setting.Health geography emphasizes landscape capacity as a perspective for examining health dimensions. Much of this emphasis is on the concept of therapeutic landscapes. In the last two decades, changes in the therapeutic landscapes concerning health, as well as why and how the development of the emphasis on the dimensions of the health in the landscape in proportion to the temporal-spatial course of literature in this field can be considered. The framework of the present study is based on a systematic review of therapeutic landscapes in the geography of health in the last two decades. This systematic literature review followed the PRISMA guidelines. Searching for "Therapeutic Landscapes" term at Science Direct and PubMed, screening, 56 eligible articles were selected in the journal Social Science and Medicine, and Health and Place. The results of the systematic review, aiming to search for the health dimensions of the therapeutic landscape, and recognize main gaps, identified three main issues scale and range of users of therapeutic landscapes, the position importance of experiences in therapeutic landscapes, therapeutic landscapes as the holistic paradigm.
