Participatory approaches that engage affected populations are increasingly applied in humanitarian health programs in concert with emerging accountability frameworks and the rapid growth of research in these settings. Participatory initiatives within this domain appear to be largely adopted at an operational level and are infrequently reported as a component of research efforts. Yet Danusertib of the benefits of research involving community members is growing worldwide. This is the first review of participatory research (PR) in humanitarian settings.

This study sought to understand the extent to which PR values and practices have been adopted in humanitarian health programs and to explore key issues in applying PR in this context.

This scoping review was based on the approach developed by Arksey and O'Malley. The search for relevant peer-reviewed articles included scientific databases, a humanitarian database, targeted journals and online resources published since 2009. link2 Eleven articles were retrieved ffected populations.
One of the most important contributions of humanitarian health programs is to develop 'medical practices that are better adapted to the living conditions and priorities of patients who are generally ignored'. Participatory approaches, such as PR, support the development of health-related practices that are more relevant and sustainable for affected populations.
The eicosapentaenoic acid to arachidonic acid ratio (EPA/AA) is attracting attention as a risk factor for peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, there have been few studies investigating the relationship between the EPA/AA ratio and atherosclerotic risk factors in patients with PAD. The purpose of the present study was to analyze atherosclerotic risk factors in patients with PAD to identify those factors associated with a low EPA/AA ratio.

The data of patients treated for symptomatic PAD at Tokyo Medical University Hospital and Eniwa Midorino Clinic between April 2014 and March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

A total of 149 patients were tested for blood levels of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, including EPA and AA. 73 patients had a low EPA/AA ratio (<0.4) and 76 patients had a high EPA/AA ratio (≥ 0.4). Univariate analysis showed that older age (≥ 75 years), female sex, smoking history, body mass index (BMI), and hemoglobin A
(HbA
) were associated with the low EPA/AA ratio. Multwined with other atherosclerotic risk factors and have an influence on cardiovascular health.
While suicide prevention interventions should be informed by lived experience, there are no reviews examining involvement of lived experience (LE) thus far. This rapid review aimed to synthesize available studies using LE of suicidality to guide the development of suicide prevention interventions.

A rapid review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Key electronic databases were searched for the literature for the last 10 years (2010 until June 2019) to identify studies that have incorporated the lived experience of people of suicide to develop a suicide prevention intervention. Key features of the LE intervention development process were synthesized and discussed.

A final 11 studies from 13 papers were selected for synthesis. Most studies employed focus groups (73%). Research questions focused on participant preferences, experiences, and recommendations for suicide prevention interventions. Considering the qualitative nature, majority of studies used thematic analyses to study participant responsepment. This review provides insight into the process to ensure responses to suicidal persons are well aligned with the needs of those they serve. Highlights Limited studies have involved lived experience in the development of interventions Focus groups and thematic analysis are common methods to develop interventions Limited description of translating themes into intervention components is described.Health care errors are a national concern. Although considerable attention has been placed on reducing errors since a 2000 Institute of Medicine report, adverse events persist. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of mindfulness training, employing the standardized approach of an eight-week mindfulness-based, stress reduction program on reduction of nurse errors in simulated clinical scenarios. An experimental, pre- and post-test control group design was employed with 20 staff nurses and senior nursing students. Although not statistically significant, there were numerical differences in clinical performance scores from baseline when comparing mindfulness and control groups immediately following mindfulness training and after three months. A number of benefits of mindfulness training, such as improved listening skills, were identified. This pilot study supports the benefits of mindfulness training in improving nurse clinical performance and illustrates a novel approach to employ in future research.Due to the large volume of erythromycin continuously reaching waterbodies and its high persistence, this antibiotic drug has been detected in the aquatic environment at elevated concentrations. Although the problem of the presence of erythromycin in the environment is evident due to its influence in development of antimicrobial resistance, the toxicological consequences on non-target organisms remain to be determined. There are no apparent data on the impact of environmentally relevant concentrations of erythromycin on developing fish. Data on toxic effects during development are essential for evaluation of environmental risk to organisms. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to erythromycin on certain parameters including hatchability, survival rate, heart rate, and behavior in developing zebrafish. Zebrafish were exposed to a range of environmentally relevant concentrations of antibiotic (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1 μg/L) and one concentration 10-fold higher (10 μg/L). Exposure to erythromycin at 0.1 μg/L delayed hatching and decreased survival rate. Exposure to all tested concentrations increased heart rate. Further, exposure to erythromycin at 1 or 10 μg/L enhanced swimming activity. Our results indicated that erythromycin present in the aquatic environment might lead to disabling consequences in developing fish organisms and subsequently may result in ecological imbalance in the natural environment.
To determine whether sleep quality mediates the relationship between traumatic life events and psychological wellbeing in college students.
40,646 undergraduate responses from the Spring 2017 National College Health Assessment II were evaluated for relationships between two predictor variables
and
and two outcome variables
(a composite of anxiety, exhaustion, feeling overwhelmed, depression, sadness, loneliness, hopelessness, and anger) and
(composite of self-harm behaviors, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts). Linear mediation regression analysis via structural equation modeling was used to test these relationships.
Each additional
students reported experiencing was associated with a 27.6% - 58.9% increase in the odds of reporting indicators of psychological distress or suicidality.
significantly mediated this negative relationship (proportional effects between 10.6 and 12.5%).
Healthy sleep mediates the impact of traumatic life events on psychological distress and suicidality.

Conclusions Healthy sleep mediates the impact of traumatic life events on psychological distress and suicidality.Retention of registered nurses (RNs) and health care assistants continue to be a challenge in acute care settings. This descriptive, comparative study examined differences of job embeddedness (JE) scores between RNs and health care assistants (HCAs) in acute care facilities. Generational differences for JE scores were also compared. A convenience sample of RNs and HCAs from medical and surgical units at two Texas hospitals completed the surveys. RNs valued community sacrifices significantly higher than HCAs. Total JE scores between baby boomers and millennials were significantly different, while organizational links scores among all three generations showed statistical significantly differences. Organizational fit, organizational sacrifice, and level of education added statistical significance to the prediction of job satisfaction.Anti-effeminacy bias follows a specific pattern with men showing stronger anti-effeminacy bias against male targets than women. Previous explanations focused on men's higher tendency to stigmatize feminine men as homosexual and motives to maintain a dominant group status. link3 Here, we suggest that certain expressions of anti-effeminacy bias may rather be a manifestation of men's reputation management motives for coalition formation, and be amplified among high (vs. low) masculine honor-oriented men. In three studies with samples from the United Kingdom and Turkey, we showed that men perceived feminine (vs. masculine) male targets as lower on coalitional value and were more reluctant to befriend them, yet this applied only to high (not low) honor-oriented men. Honor-oriented men's friendship reluctance was mediated by concern with losing reputation by association with targets lacking coalitional value. These findings extend understanding of anti-effeminacy bias by drawing attention to men's reputation concerns for coalitional reasons and individual differences.
To inform cognitive interventions that target functional capacity for individuals who have survived stroke, an evaluation of predictors of daily functioning is necessary. The current literature is limited regarding identifying the associations between objective cognitive functioning and objective performance of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs).

To investigate the relationship between objectively measured cognitive domains/executive functions and performance on an objective measure of IADLs following a stroke.

Cross-sectional examination of 52 participants who have survived strokes and completed assessments of immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional skills, language, attention, delayed memory, executive functions (i.e., inhibition and flexibility, concept-formation and problem-solving, abstract thinking, deductive thinking, and verbal abstraction), and a performance-based measure of IADLs (UCSD Performance-based Skills Assessment; UPSA).

Results indicated significant correlations between the UPSA and immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional skills, language, delayed memory, and executive functions (i.e., concept formation and problem-solving, flexibility of thinking, and verbal abstraction). A hierarchical multiple regression, controlling for age, severity of stroke, side of stroke, and depressive symptoms and including the cognitive measures individually significantly associated with the UPSA, explained approximately 62% of the variance in overall UPSA performance. This regression demonstrated that only language significantly predicted UPSA total score, in the context of multiple variables.

Cognitive functioning is significantly associated with IADL functioning post-stroke, and considering multiple domains of cognitive functioning together largely explains the performance of IADLs.
