Nutritional Modulation of the Gut-Brain Axis: A Comprehensive Review of Dietary Interventions in Depression and Anxiety Management.

Mental health is an increasing topic of focus since more than 500 million people in the world suffer from depression and anxiety. In this multifactorial disorder, parameters such as inflammation, the state of the microbiota and, therefore, the patient's nutrition are receiving more attention. In addition, food products are the source of many essential ingredients involved in the regulation of mental processes, including amino acids, neurotransmitters, vitamins, and others. For this reason, this narrative review was carried out with the aim of analyzing the role of nutrition in depression and anxiety disorders. To reach the review aim, a critical review was conducted utilizing both primary sources, such as scientific publications and secondary sources, such as bibliographic indexes, web pages, and databases. The search was conducted in PsychINFO, MedLine (Pubmed), Cochrane (Wiley), Embase, and CinAhl. The results show a direct relationship between what we eat and the state of our nervous system. The gut-brain axis is a complex system in which the intestinal microbiota communicates directly with our nervous system and provides it with neurotransmitters for its proper functioning. An imbalance in our microbiota due to poor nutrition will cause an inflammatory response that, if sustained over time and together with other factors, can lead to disorders such as anxiety and depression. Changes in the functions of the microbiota-gut-brain axis have been linked to several mental disorders. It is believed that the modulation of the microbiome composition may be an effective strategy for a new treatment of these disorders. Modifications in nutritional behaviors and the use of ergogenic components are presented as important non-pharmacological interventions in anxiety and depression prevention and treatment. It is desirable that the choice of nutritional and probiotic treatment in individual patients be based on the results of appropriate biochemical and microbiological tests.

Bibliographic and printing activities of the central library of the Academy of Sciences Lit. SSR in 1946-1985

In the post-war period, alongside completing and cataloging, bibliographic service was organized in the Central Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Lithuanian SSR. The 11th conference of directors of the libraries of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in 1950 decided that bibliographical reviews of publications issued by Academies of Sciences in every Union Republic should be published. Following this decision, the Central Library compiled the first bibliographical index covering the publications of the Academy of Sciences and its scientists during the period 1941-1954. In 1956, this bibliographical index was published. Since then, such indices have been published annually. The total number of books published up to this time is 26. At the beginning of the sixties and afterwards, much attention was paid to the publishing of retrospective bibliographical indices. Linguistic, historic, geologic, and materials from other sciences were included. Much attention was also given to publishing monographs on book science.

Amenable Mortality in Children under 5: An Indicator for Identifying Inequalities in Healthcare Delivery: A Review.

Universal health coverage has been proposed as a strategy to improve health in low- and middle-income countries, but this depends on a good provision of health services. Under-5 mortality (U5M) reflects the quality of health services, and its reduction has been a milestone in modern society, reducing global mortality rates by more than two-thirds between 1990 and 2020. However, despite these impressive achievements, they are still insufficient, and most deaths in children under 5 can be prevented with the provision of timely and high-quality health services. The aim of this paper is to conduct a literature review on amenable (treatable) mortality in children under 5. This indicator is based on the concept that deaths from certain causes should not occur in the presence of timely and effective medical care. A systematic and exhaustive review of available literature on amenable mortality in children under 5 was conducted using MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, OVID medline, Scielo, Epistemonikos, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar in both English and Spanish. Both primary sources, such as scientific articles, and secondary sources, such as bibliographic indices, websites, and databases, were used. Results: The main cause of amenable mortality in children under 5 was respiratory disease, and the highest proportion of deaths occurred in the perinatal period. Approximately 65% of avoidable deaths in children under 5 were due to amenable mortality, that is, due to insufficient quality in the provision of health services. Most deaths in all countries and around the world are preventable, primarily through effective and timely access to healthcare (amenable mortality) and the management of public health programs focused on mothers and children (preventable mortality).

Systematic review on Artificial Intelligence in the editorial management of scientific journals

INTRODUCTION: scientific journals play a crucial role in the dissemination and validation of scientific knowledge, and editorial management ranges from conceptualization to post-publication of content. Artificial intelligence (AI) has had a great impact on scientific communication and editorial management of scientific journals. AI can offer solutions and benefits for editorial management, but it also poses technical, economic, social and ethical challenges that should be considered and approached with caution and responsibility. OBJECTIVE: to describe the benefits and limitations of the use of AI in the editorial management of scientific journals through a systematic literature review. METHOD: a systematic literature review was conducted based on the PRISMA methodology. An information search was carried out in different bibliographic database systems, indexing systems and search engines, and inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to the identified studies. RESULTS: the information search allowed retrieving a total of 2750 sources, of which 10 articles that met the stated criteria were included. Benefits such as the facilitation of writing, translation, review and editing tasks were identified, as well as limitations related to ethical issues, bias, errors and plagiarism generated by AI. CONCLUSIONS: While AI can streamline the production and analysis of information distribution, it also poses challenges in terms of reliability, ethics and authenticity of published content. It requires the critical involvement of human intelligence for proper exploitation.

Factors associated with suicidal ideation among puerperal women in the context of public health: integrative review

Objective: To synthesize scientific evidence about the factors associated with suicidal ideation in the puerperal period in the context of public health. Methods: Integrative review conducted by the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol, carried out in July 2022, in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Nursing Database, Spanish Bibliographic Index of Health Sciences, PsycINFO and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature. Results: Seven studies were selected to compose this review. Factors associated with suicidal ideation in the puerperal period were younger, single, unemployed women, having an unemployed partner, having experienced intimate partner violence, having faced stressful events during pregnancy, previous experiences of abortion and marital dissatisfaction, depressive symptoms and other mental disorders (mood disorders, hypomanic symptoms, neuroticism and psychoticism). High self-esteem aimed to reduce ideas of suicide during the postpartum period. Being primigravid, having a harmonious relationship with the mother-in-law, and marital satisfaction were presented as protective factors. Conclusion: The synthesis of the studies showed the association of psychosocial, physiological and sociodemographic factors with suicidal ideation among puerperal women, as well as protective factors.

The Brill Knowledge Graph: A Database of Bibliographic References and Index Terms Extracted from Books in Humanities and Social Sciences

Abstract With the recognition of content discoverability and information analytics in the scientific publishing industry, more and more effort is dedicated to digitization and automated analysis of scholarly publications. As part of this effort, the authors designed a pipeline to extract structured information from bibliography and index lists of existing scholarly publications, as well as to disambiguate and export it as linked data. In this article, the authors present the Brill Knowledge Graph (kg), obtained by applying this pipeline to a corpus of books in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (ahss) provided by the publisher Brill.

Нереалізовані видавничі проєкти Українського Генеалогічного і Гераль дичного Товариства

The purpose of the research is determined by the necessity to identify, research, and analyze unrealized publishing projects of the Ukrainian Genealogical and Heraldic Society, which was created and operated in the environment of Ukrainian scientific emigration: "Scientific Collection of Works" and "Bibliographic Index of Ukrainian Emblematics". The research methodology is based on the principles of historicity, objectivity, systematicity, and scientificity. The research used general scientific (analysis and synthesis, classification) and historical (problematic-historical, comparative, chronological) methods. The scientific novelty is that for the first time unrealized publishing projects of the Ukrainian Genealogical and Heraldic Society, which could have an impact on the development of contemporary Ukrainian heraldry, genealogy, sphragistics, and vexillology, will be highlighted. Conclusions. Among the many tasks of the Ukrainian Genealogical and Heraldic Society were publishing projects, the implementation of which directly depended on the financial situation. Although the necessary materials were collected for the "Scientific Collection of Works", it was never published. Because of this, part of these texts were published on the pages of the UHA edition of The Ukrainian Historian journal. During 1969-1971, the Society began work on the preparation of the publication "Bibliographic Index of Ukrainian Emblems", which was supposed to contain more than 1,000 items of literature. However, only eight issues were published in a limited edition for members of the Society, which are of great importance today, because they systematized information on scientific works and research in the field of Ukrainian heraldry, sphragistics, vexillology, and numismatics for the first time. The unrealized publishing projects of the Society testified to objective problems that prevented historical science in the diaspora from developing to its full potential. Today, the analysis of the scientific and publishing activities of the Society and the republishing of individual works of the Society’s members is of great importance for Ukrainian heraldry and genealogy.

Personalizing Nutrition Strategies: Bridging Research and Public Health.

In recent years, although life expectancy has increased significantly, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) continue to pose a significant threat to the health of the global population. Therefore, eating habits have been recognized as key modifiable factors that influence people's health and well-being. For this reason, it is interesting to study dietary patterns, since the human diet is a complex mixture of macronutrients, micronutrients, and bioactive compounds, and can modulate multiple physiological processes, including immune function, the metabolism, and inflammation. To ensure that the data we acquired were current and relevant, we searched primary and secondary sources, including scientific journals, bibliographic indexes, and databases in the last 15 years with the most relevant articles. After this search, we observed that all the recent research on NCDs suggests that diet is a critical factor in shaping an individual's health outcomes. Thus, cardiovascular, metabolic, mental, dental, and visual health depends largely on the intake, habits and patterns, and nutritional behaviors. A diet high in processed and refined foods, added sugars, and saturated fats can increase the risk of developing chronic diseases. On the other hand, a diet rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods, such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, and a high adherence to Mediterranean diet can improve health's people.

RISK INDICATORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCIDENCE OF OBSTETRIC INJURY OF THE ANAL SPHINCTER DURING VAGINAL LABOR

Obstetrical lesions of the anal sphincter (LOEA) consists of third and fourth degree lacerations that can happen during vaginal labor. Its incidence is related to unfavorable outcomes in the health of the postpartum, such as anal incontinence, dyspareunia, sexual dysfunction, and negative repercussions on emotional and psychological health. Objective: To describe the main risk indicators associated with incidence of anal obstetric injury during vaginal labor. Methodology: This is an integrative review of the literature carried out in the indexed materials in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Nursing Database - BDENF, Index Medicus for the Western Pacific (WPRIM) and Bibliographic Index Español en Ciencias de la Salud (IBECS), used the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) in cross-over with the Boolean operator AND and OR, after the application of eligibility criteria were selected 13 studies to compose this review: are: It was evidenced that among the maternal risk indicators associated with LOEA, primiparity, episiotomy, body mass index (?), maternal age < 20 years of age, Asian ethnicity, due to shorter perineal bodies, instrumental delivery, second stage of prolonged labor and previous pregnancy cesarean section history. Fetal factors such as vaginal delivery of pelvic presentation, use of maneuvers to facilitate expulsion and macrosomy, weight > 4 kg were related to an increased risk for anal sphincter lesions. Concluding Considerations: It is observed that maternal and fetal factors are associated with a greater risk of developing anal sphincter lesions, so the identification by health professionals of the main risk indicators in a timely manner is of great importance in the prevention of greater maternal complications.

Prevention and care strategies for people with HIV/AIDS in Primary Health Care

The present work aims to address the main prevention and care strategies for people with HIV/AIDS in Primary Health Care, through an integrative review of the literature. This is an integrative review of the literature, carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL). The databases selected were: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Spanish Bibliographic Index in Health Sciences (IBECS) and Nursing Database - BDENF. Using this search parameter, 937 articles were obtained and, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 24 studies were selected to compose the final sample. The results show that prevention and care for people with HIV/AIDS are crucial aspects in the context of PHC, as its approach at this level of care seeks to promote health, prevent diseases and offer comprehensive assistance to the community, playing a role vital role in the comprehensive response to this health condition. The patient-user-centered approach, combined with education and health promotion, regular testing, encouraging the use of condoms, sexual and reproductive health care, counseling and psychological support, antiretroviral treatment, access and availability of PrEP and PeP, Combating stigma and discrimination, integrating RAS, epidemiological monitoring and training professionals is essential to guarantee prevention practices, the quality and effectiveness of the care provided.

Conservative Versus Surgical Management of Acute Appendicitis: A Systematic Review.

Recent studies have discussed the role of antibiotic treatment in the conservative management of acute appendicitis and whether antibiotics are a safe option to replace appendicectomy, which has been the gold standard treatment of acute appendicitis for many years. The bibliographic databases Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane, Embase, Medline, and PubMed comparing conservative versus surgical treatment of acute appendicitis were systematically searched according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Twenty-one studies consisting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses involving 44,699 participants were identified. At least 17,865 participants were treated with antibiotics. Our studies compare antibiotic versus appendicectomy among acute appendicitis patients ranging from 7 to 94 years of age. In most studies, patients received parenteral antibiotics for a total of one to three days, and oral antibiotics such as oral cephalosporin plus metronidazole, oral amoxicillin/clavulanate, oral fluoroquinolones plus Tinidazole upon hospital discharge for a total of 7 to 10 days. The total course of antibiotics for both parenteral and oral regimes ranged from 2 to 16 days, with 10 days being the commonest duration. The recurrence rate following initial antibiotic treatment at one-year follow-up ranged from 13% to 38%, while the mean duration of recurrence ranged from three to eight months. The majority of the patients with recurrence underwent appendicectomy, while some patients were either given a repeat or different course of antibiotics due to the possible presence of antibiotic resistance; however, only 2.4% of the patients were successfully treated upon completion of the second course of antibiotics. Most of the studies concluded that appendicectomy remains the gold standard treatment for uncomplicated acute appendicitis, given its higher efficacy and lower complication rates. Although antibiotic treatment cannot be routinely recommended, it can be considered an appropriate alternative in selected patients with uncomplicated appendicitis who wish to avoid surgery and also acknowledge the risk of recurrence and the potential need for subsequent surgery at the same time.

ПЕРЕВОДЫ ДЕТСКИХ КНИГ С ЯЗЫКОВ НАРОДОВ СССР: БИБЛИОГРАФИЧЕСКАЯ СТАТИСТИКА (1922–1984)

Like Soviet literature as a whole, Soviet children’s literature has been institutionally and symbolically constructed as multinational. Unfortunately, the national structure of Soviet children’s book publishing has been mostly neglected by contemporary researchers. The article presents statistical data on the scale and dynamics of translations of children’s books from the languages of the RSFSR and the USSR into Russian. The data comes from the bibliographic indices “Children’s Literature” which covers 1918–1984 years. The data allow to answer the questions: What share of the total resources of Soviet children’s book publishing was allocated to the publication of translations from the national languages of the USSR? How these resources were distributed among different languages? What was the genre composition of works translated from these languages? The bibliographic data indicate that a significant share of the resources of Soviet children’s book publishing was allocated to translations from the languages of the USSR. Meanwhile, in terms of genre composition these translations differed markedly from translations from higher status Western European languages.

Objective: To map the opportunities for entrepreneurship in nursing within the field of skin wound care in the Brazilian context. Method: Scope review based on the guiding question: “What are the opportunities for entrepreneurship in nursing within the context of skin injury care in Brazil?” The review included articles, resolutions, editorials, book chapters, monographs, dissertations, and theses, all available in full text, published since 2015. The search was conducted on platforms such as SciELO, Nursing Database (BDENF), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Spanish Bibliographic Index of Health Sciences (IBECS), the Portal of Resolutions, opinions from the Federal and Regional Nursing Councils, as well as Google Scholar. Results:The final sample consisted of 28 documents and scientific articles. Among the possibilities for entrepreneurial activities in nursing, the use of laser therapy (n=14) in skin wound care, autonomous and/or freelance nursing services—primarily in home care—and the opening of private practices were highlighted. Conclusion: The study identified that nursing offers several opportunities for entrepreneurship in the care of individuals with skin wounds, particularly through the use of adjunct technologies to support healing, home care services, and private practices. These opportunities provide greater professional and social visibility and recognition.

SHEVCHENKIV ANNIVERSARIES AND UKRAINIAN PUBLIC CENTERS AND ORGANIZATIONS IN ODESA IN THE LAST QUARTER OF THE 19TH – BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY

The purpose of the article is to reconstruct the history of commemoration of Shevchenko's anniversary in the context of the activities of Ukrainian public centers and organizations in Odesa in the last quarter of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Research methods have become personalistic and systemic. Sources: archival and published documents, as well as epistolaries, journalism, memoirs gleaned from Ukrainian periodicals. The main results consist in understanding the process of commemorating Shevchenko's anniversary as an important factor in the formation of Ukrainian national consciousness and identity among the population of Odesa – an important socio-economic and socio-political center of southern Ukrainian lands. It is shown that the preservation of the historical memory of the great Ukrainian poet and thinker T. G. Shevchenko had a long history in Odessa from the last quarter of the 19th century before the First World War. Commemoration of the Shevchenkiv anniversaries can be traced in the activities of various Ukrainian public centers and organizations, in particular the Odesa Ukrainian Community, the Odesa «Prosvita», the Odesa «Ukrainian Club» and the «Ukrainian House». The main forms of holding Shevchenko's commemorations were literary, musical and vocal evenings of memory; reading reports, lectures, abstracts about Kobzar; publications about T. G. Shevchenko in newspapers, magazines, brochures, bibliographic indexes, etc.; organization of appropriate memorial services. In the 1870s and 1880s, measures to perpetuate the memory of T. G. Shevchenko were held illegally, and from the end of the 19th century gained publicity and relative mass. A notable role in the organization and implementation of events to perpetuate the memory of the Ukrainian poet and thinker belonged to such figures as L. A. Smolenskyi, O. O. Andrievskyi, P. O. Zeleny, M. F. Komarov, I. M. Lutsenko, D. D. Sygarevich, A. V. Nikovskyi, S. P. Shelukhin, and others. The commemoration of Shevchenko's anniversary faced internal difficulties of an organizational and ideological nature that arose in the Ukrainian ethno-national community of a polyethnic and multicultural city. Shevchenko's measures, first of the Odesa Ukrainian community, and later of the Odesa «Prosvita» and its successors, were in the field of view of the local administration, gendarmes and police, who exerted undisguised pressure and repression on conscious Ukrainianism and its public centers and organizations, sought to block the process of spreading Ukrainian national consciousness and identity in the city. However, the punitive and protective measures of the Russian imperial regime could not stop the activity of conscious Ukrainianism in Odessa to perpetuate the historical memory of T. G. Shevchenko, which was of great importance for the revival and preservation of the historical heritage of Kobzar, the spread of Ukrainian national and cultural values in the Russified and at the same time multifaceted in ethno-cultural, ethno-national and social dimensions of the region. Concise conclusions. It has been proven that from the end of the 1870s to 1914, Ukrainian public centers and organizations accumulated important historical experience in commemorating Shevchenko's anniversaries. This activity contributed to the national consolidation of local conscious Ukrainianism, the formation of the modern Ukrainian ethno-cultural landscape.

A Study of Dedications in 18th-century Publications: a Literary Contribution to Bibliography and Book Studies

The review of the monograph of the Doctor of Philology N.D. Kochetkova “Dedications in Russian publications of the 18 century: research, texts, bibliographic index” (Moscow; St. Petersburg, 2020) is presented. The content of this scientific work, which is important both for the history of Russian literature of the 18 century, and for bibliography, book studies and related humanities, is revealed. It is noted that the dedications reflect the most diverse aspects of the life of writers of the Enlightenment era: from client-patronage relations with government officials to friendships and family unions. This fact makes them an important source in historical and cultural research. The monograph analyzes dedications to various recipients: members of the royal family, dignitaries, heads of educational institutions, representatives of the clergy, women, friends, relatives, scientists and writers. An important component of the monograph is a detailed index of dedications in publications of the 18 century, including about 1780 items. It is a contribution to the bibliography of the Russian book of the 18 century and creates prospects for further research of dedications within the framework of literary studies, cultural history, and book studies. It is concluded that the monograph by N.D. Kochetkova will be a reference book for specialists studying Russian in the 18 century.

“Bio-bibliographic Self-Publishing”: Bibliographic Indexes to Anniversaries as a Resource for Multidimensional Search

In scientific institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences special attention is paid to accounting of publications of employees. One of the most widespread information resources allowing to obtain information about publications of a particular scientist remains personal bibliographic indexes, both in printed and electronic form. The article considers biobibliographic indexes on soil science from the collection of the Central Library of the Pushchino Scientific Centre, a department of the Library of Natural Sciences (LNS) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, independently published for jubilee dates of scientists by students and relatives of researchers. The advantages and disadvantages of these indexes as resources for information and bibliographic service are noted.

Efeitos das tecnologias educativas na prevenção e tratamento da úlcera diabética: revisão sistemática e metanálise

Objective: to analyze the effects of educational technologies in the prevention and treatment of diabetic ulcers. Method: a systematic review conducted in seven databases, a bibliographic index, an electronic library and the Gray Literature. The sample consisted of 11 randomized controlled clinical trials. The synthesis of the results was descriptive and through meta-analysis. Results: the predominant educational technologies were training sessions and verbal guidelines, with soft-hard technologies standing out. When compared to usual care, the educational technologies presented a protective factor to prevent the incidence of diabetic ulcers (RR=0.40; 95% CI=0.18-0.90; p=0.03) and the certainty of the evidence assessment was low. The educational technologies also had a protective factor to prevent the incidence of lower limb amputations (RR=0.53; 95% CI=0.31-0.90; p=0.02) and certainty of the evidence was very low. Conclusion: soft-hard educational technologies such as structured verbal guidelines, educational games, lectures, theoretical-practical training sessions, educational videos, folders, serial albums and playful drawings, and hard technologies such as therapeutic footwear, insoles, infrared digital thermometer, foot care kits, Telemedicine app and mobile phone use, were effective for the prevention and treatment of diabetic ulcers, although more robust studies are required.
