Adenotonsillar surgery remains the second most common surgical practice in pediatric otolaryngology. We aimed to evaluate whether a comorbid disease in children undergoing surgery has any impact on postoperative complication rate.

This study was conducted at a tertiary otolaryngology department with 643 children. The study included children with symptoms of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing and recurrent infection who underwent adenotonsillar surgery. Patients with a comorbid disease constituted the study group and otherwise healthy children constituted the control group. The data were evaluated to find out any association among clinical variables such as gender, age, tonsil grade, type and extent of surgery, indication for surgery, body mass index percentile, comorbid diseases and postoperative complications.

There were 245 (38.1%) patients with a comorbid disease. The most common comorbidity was cardiovascular diseases (n=68) followed by neurological diseases (n=48). We performed adenoidectomy in 319, tonsillectomy in 44, tonsillotomy in nine, adenotonsillectomy (AT) in 190 and adenoidectomy with tonsillotomy (ATT) in 81 patients. The overall rate of postoperative late complication was 17/643 (2.6%) with post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage being the most common (n=10). There was no association between other clinical variables and the complication but older age (p=0.042) and type of surgery (p<0.001) revealed increased risk. The rates of complications in patients with or without comorbid disease were found 5/245 (2%) and 12/389 (3%), respectively, with no difference (p=0.621).

The risk of postoperative complications was increased in older children and in patients undergoing AT and ATT, however, the presence of comorbid disease did not increase likelihood of postoperative complications.

One major ruling involved insanity defense and whether the two prongs of cognitive capacity and moral capacity were required. Sexual identity was ruled to be covered by the Civil Rights Act in relation to employment. Unanimous criminal jury decisions were ruled a required condition for conviction. The rescindment of DACA was overturned on procedural grounds. Other decisions related to conditions of abortion, habitual residence in international custody cases, police immunity from civil liability, guns, HIV, and capital punishment. Thirty-five percent of cases were unanimous (down from the recent average), and 22% were decided by a 5-4 vote (slightly above the recent average).
The current pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) protocol will comprehensively describe the implementation of a culturally adapted Filipino version of the World Health Organization Step-by-Step (SbS-F) program, unguided online psychological intervention for people with depression based on behavioral activation, among overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Macao (Special Administrative Region). The main objective of this pilot study is to explore the preliminary effectiveness of the SbS-F program to decrease participant-reported depressive symptoms compared to enhanced care as usual (ECAU); and the secondary objectives are to explore the preliminary effectiveness of the SbS-F to decrease participant-reported anxiety symptoms and improve wellbeing, and to evaluate the potential for SbS-F implementation in real-world settings.

This trial will follow an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 1 trial design and utilize the Reach, Efficacy/Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framts scalability. If SbS-F shows positive results among OFWs in Macao, it has strong potential to be used by OFWs in other countries that may also experience depression and difficulty accessing mental health services.

Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence-based work rehabilitation program helping people with moderate to severe mental illness to obtain ordinary employment. Although IPS has proven superior to other work rehabilitation programs, in many studies, the majority of the participants remain unemployed. Structured process evaluations of IPS that use mixed methods are scarce, although they could identify implementation aspects that may enhance its effect. The aim of the current study is to assess reach, fidelity, and identify barriers and facilitators to implement IPS.

The process evaluation was conducted alongside a randomized controlled trial including six IPS centers, comparing IPS with treatment as usual in a population of patients in treatment for moderate to severe mental illness. Mixed methods were used in the process evaluation, including focus group interviews with service providers, individual interviews and survey data from participants, and fidelity reviews using the validated IPS Fideencouraging. More knowledge on the characteristics of successful IPS specialists could further enhance the effectiveness of the intervention.

The study was registered on clinicaltrials.gov prior to the inclusion period (reg.no NCT01964092, registered 17/07/2013).

In this work, we have developed novel Fe-N-C single-atom nanozymes (Fe-Nx SANs) derived from Fe-doped polypyrrole (PPy) nanotube and substituted the enzymes in ELISA kit for enhancing the detection sensitivity of amyloid beta 1-40. Results indicate that the Fe-Nx SANs contain high density of single-atom active sites and comparable enzyme-like properties as HRP, owing to the maximized utilization of Fe atoms and their abundant active sites, which could mimic natural metalloproteases structures. Further designed SAN-linked immunosorbent assay (SAN-LISA) demonstrates the ultralow limit of detection (LOD) of 0.88 pg/mL, much more sensitive than that of commercial ELISA (9.
