A three-phase ethnography was conducted at a paediatric orthopaedic hospital exploring the actual and desired participation of children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta in discussions, decisions and actions in the hospital and community. Phase I and Phase II revealed how childhood ethics are understood and practiced in the hospital using artmaking to engage children in discussions about their health-related experiences. Children expressed frustration, anger and disappointment when their desired level of participation in care was not actualized due to forgone opportunities for engagement by clinicians or lack of child-oriented health resources.

The objective of this study (Phase III) was to specify how childhood ethics ought to be understood and practiced in the hospital by (1) convening hospital stakeholders in a collaborative setting to disseminate findings, identify ethical concerns and generate action steps; and (2) develop a preliminary ethical framework to optimise the participation of children with OI icreate ethical frameworks and resources to improve how vulnerable children's voices are heard, understood and acted upon in healthcare settings.
The focus group and creation of clinician resources were important steps towards addressing the ethical concerns of children with OI, such as marginalisation or exclusion in their OI care. This study better prepares us to disseminate our findings on a larger scale and create ethical frameworks and resources to improve how vulnerable children's voices are heard, understood and acted upon in healthcare settings.
To assess and characterize the correlation between shoulder pathologies and sleep disturbances.

Participants enrolled into this case-control study were divided into two groups patients with an established clinical diagnosis of active shoulder pathology (study group), and patients without any shoulder pathology (control group). All patients completed the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaire, in addition to questions related to participant demographics, health status, medication, and other known insomnia risk factors.

A total of 98 patients were included (46 in the study group and 52 controls). Mean ISI score was significantly higher (indicating more severe insomnia) in the study group versus control group (t[96] = -9.67), even after correcting for confounders (t[53.1] = -8.61). Additionally, in patients with shoulder pathology, those with comorbidities experienced more sleep disturbances than those without comorbidities (β = 0.36). Lastly, the shoulder pathology group was at a higher risk of having sleep disturbances compared with controls (relative risk 4.86, 95% confidence interval 2.24, 10.55).

Sleep disturbances are more common among patients with shoulder pathologies. Comorbidities and a shorter duration of pathology may predict more severe sleep disturbances.

Water pollution due to uncontrolled release of chemical pollutants is an important global problem. Its effect on medically important insects, especially mosquitoes, is a critical issue in the epidemiology of mosquito-borne diseases.

In order to understand the effect of water pollutants on the demography of Anopheles stephensi, colonies were reared in clean, moderately and highly polluted water for three consecutive generations at 27°C, 75% RH, and a photoperiod of 1212h (LD). The demographic data of the 4th generation of An. stephensi were collected and analysed using the age-stage, two-sex life table.

The intrinsic rate of increase (r), finite rate of increase (λ), mean fecundity (F) and net reproductive rate (R
) of An. stephensi in clean water were 0.2568 d
, 1.2927 d
, 251.72 eggs, and 109.08 offspring, respectively. These values were significantly higher than those obtained in moderately polluted water (r = 0.2302 d
, λ = 1.2589 d
, 196.04 eggs, and R
 = 65.35 offspring) and highly polluted water (r = 0.2282 d
, λ = 1.2564 d
, 182.45 eggs, and R
 = 62.03 offspring). Female adult longevity in moderately polluted (9.38days) and highly polluted water (9.88days) were significantly shorter than those reared in clean water (12.43days), while no significant difference in the male adult longevity was observed among treatments.

The results of this study showed that An. stephensi can partially adapt to water pollution and this may be sufficient to extend the range of mosquito-borne diseases.

Relapsing polychondritis (RP) patients with tracheal cartilage involvement are different from other patients. The objective of this study was to compare the clinical features and disease patterns between arespiratory involvement subgroup and anon-respiratory involvement subgroup according to chest computed tomography.

We performed a retrospective cohort study collecting RP patients hospitalized at the Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital between January 2012 and August 2021.

Respiratory involvement affected 59.7% of patients in our cohort. The incidence of costochondritis was more common in RP patients with respiratory involvement (p = 0.03); the incidence of inflammatory eye disease (p = 0.001) and auricular chondritis (p = 0.001) was less frequent in RP respiratory involvement patients.. ABBV-CLS-484 Compared with the non-respiratory involvement subgroup the incidence of pulmonary infection marginally increased in the respiratory involvement subgroup (p = 0.06).

Yet it seems to have taken a narrow scope in healthcare, confined to individual and psychological resilience. This short essay aims to broaden the understanding of resilience to organisational levels and calls intensivists to take active roles in fostering resilience for their staff. The article explores firstly the background and etymology of resilience. It then challenges current approaches and briefly signposts some current work in the area. Some examples of structural factors which build individual resilience are listed, followed by a call for intensivists to take active roles to build future resilience. The need for interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral and multi-level approaches is vital to build future healthcare resilience, and we intensivists must continue to be advocates for systemic change.
Candlenut (CN) has been used indiscriminately for weight loss. In vivo effects of CN in different doses are scarce.

To evaluate the effects of CN ingestion in obese rats.

Thirty animals (obese and non-obese) received one of three different types of treatments placebo, CN ingestion in a popular therapeutic regimen (8days with oral administration of 0.2mg/kg followed by 20days with doses of 0.4mg/kg), and ingestion of a doubled popular dose-called 2CN. Treatment was maintained for 28days.

The fatty acid profile of CN indicated mainly linolelaidic and palmitoleic acids. Rats receiving CN and 2CN showed reduced plasmatic levels of glucose and lipoproteins (p < 0.05). A dose-dependent carcass fat reduction was observed (p < 0.05). Blood levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) reduced with CN and increased with 2CN doses (p < 0.05). Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and the atherogenic index remained similar among all treatments (p > 0.05). Hepatic vacuolation decreased with CN, but the 2CN dose produced mononuclear leucocyte infiltrate.

Although CN presented beneficial effects on the metabolism of rats, it also caused increased risk of liver damage.

Semaphorins have been found to play important roles in multiple malignancy-related processes. However, the role of Semaphorin 4B (SEMA4B) in lung cancer remains unclear. Here, we aimed to explore the biological functions of SEMA4B in through bioinformatic analysis, in vitro and in vivo assays. In the present study, the possible mechanism by which SEMA4B affected the tumor growth and microenvironment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) were investigated.

The expression of SEMA4B in LUAD was analyzed by bioinformatic analysis and verified by the immunohistochemistry staining. The prognostic value of SEMA4B in LUAD was investigated using the Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox's regression model. After silencing SEMA4B expression, the functions of SEMA4B in LUAD cells were investigated by in vitro experiments, including CCK-8 and plate clone formation. And the effect of SEMA4B on tumor growth and immune infiltration was explored in C57BL/6 mice tumor-bearing models.

SEMA4B expression was upregulated in LUAD tissues and correlated with later pathological stages and poor prognosis of LUAD patients. Further study found that SEMA4B silencing suppressed the proliferation of lung cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Bioinformatic analysis showed that SEMA4B expression was correlated with the increased infiltration of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), T-regs and the decreased infiltration of CD8
T cell in LUAD. Importantly, in vivo study verified that the infiltration of T-regs and MDSCs in tumor microenvironment (TME) of Xenograft tissues was decreased after SEMA4B silencing.

These findings demonstrated SEMA4B might play an oncogenic role in LUAD progression, and be a promising therapeutic target for lung cancer.

Peritonitis associated with fungal species Curvularia lunata seldom occurs with only five cases reported in the literature, all in middle-age patients with comorbidities undergoing dialysis.

A 21-year-old female who was referred to surgical oncology OPD with a diagnosis of ovarian malignancy, based on raised cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) and suspected tubo-ovarian mass (TOM) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A review of the MRI showed a pelvic collection with TOM, suggestive of infective pathology. Fungal culture and mass spectroscopy of the cystic collection identified the presence of Curvularia lunata. She was treated with oral itraconazole which showed symptomatic improvement and radiological response. In the follow-up period, the patient developed chest wall swelling, aspiration and geneXpert® revealed multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis, and treatment was started.

Unusual causes of TOM and raised CA 125 should be kept in mind when dealing with young patients, as the possibility of epithelial ovarian cancer in this age is very low.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) adversely affects women's reproductive health outcomes but to what extent women's justification of IPV affects maternal health care service utilization is unexplored.

The secondary cross-sectional datasets from multiple indicator cluster surveys of Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal and Pakistan conducted between 2010 and 2015 were used. We used a generalized linear mixed model with random effects, at both cluster- and country-level, to determine the odds ratio of maternal health service utilization at the regional leveland a multivariable logistic regression model adjusting for complex survey design at the country level. Interaction between women's justification of IPV and residential location, and linear trend in the utilizationof maternal health care services associated with increasing levels of women's justification of IPV,were examinedusing the Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT).

A total of 26,029 women aged 15-49years, living with their partners and had a pregnancy outcome 2years prior to the survey were included.
