Association between psychological resilience and body mass index in a community-based population: A cross-sectional study.

While earlier studies have focused on the relationship between stress and obesity, there was a gap in understanding the potential impact of positive psychological factors, such as resilience, on obesity. By investigating the role of psychological resilience with obesity, this study aimed to address this gap and tackle obesity through a positive psychological framework. Participants consisted of 2445 community residents from Shenzhen, China, with a mean age of 41.09±13.72years, comprising 846 males and 1599 females. Psychological resilience was measured using the Brief Resilience Scale; gender, age, marital status, education level, smoking status, alcohol consumption, frequency of physical exercise, and perceived stress were considered potential confounding factors. The relationship between psychological resilience and body mass index (BMI) was examined through multiple linear regression and logistic regression analyses. The participants had an average psychological resilience score of 3.46 (standard deviation [SD]=0.62) and an average BMI of 22.59 (SD=3.35), with 104 individuals (4.3%) identified with obesity. In the fully adjusted multiple linear regression model, a higher psychological resilience score was associated with a higher BMI (β=0.507, 95% CI:0.283, 0.731). In the logistic regression model, higher psychological resilience scores were linked to increased obesity risk, with a more significant association observed among males (odds ratio [OR]=2.169, 95% CI:1.155, 4.073), while psychological resilience acted as a protective factor against underweight among females (OR=0.528, 95% CI:0.376, 0.816). The study demonstrated a significant link between higher psychological resilience and elevated BMI, emphasizing the complex relationship between psychological fortitude and weight management. Interventions targeting socioeconomic status, education, lifestyle habits, and physiological well-being might offer a promising strategy for enhancing psychological resilience and promoting healthier weight. Emphasizing self-efficacy and coping skills at the individual level could contribute to balanced weight and comprehensive health outcomes, addressing the global challenge of obesity.

Association between the length of in vitro embryo culture, mode of ART, and the initial endogenous hCG rise in ongoing singleton pregnancies.

Is there an association between the length of in vitro culture, mode of ART and the initial endogenous hCG rise, in cycles with a foetal heartbeat after single embryo transfer (ET) and implantation? Both the length of in vitro culture and the mode of ART have an impact on the initial endogenous rise in hCG in singleton pregnancies. Different factors have been identified to alter the kinetics of hCG in pregnancies. Current studies show conflicting results regarding the kinetics of hCG after different types of ART (fresh vs frozen ET (FET)), the inclusion or not of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), and the length of time in in vitro culture. This was a multicentre cohort study, using prospectively collected data derived from 4938 women (5524 treatment cycles) undergoing IUI (cycles, n = 608) or ART (cycles, n = 4916) treatments, resulting a in singleton ongoing pregnancy verified by first-trimester ultrasound scan. Data were collected from the Danish Medical Data Centre, used by the three participating Danish public fertility clinics at Copenhagen University hospitals: Herlev Hospital, Hvidovre Hospital, and Rigshospitalet, from January 2014 to December 2021. The fresh ET cycles included cleavage-stage (2 or 3 days in vitro) and blastocyst (5 days in vitro) transfers. FET cycles included cleavage-stage (3 days in vitro before cryopreservation) or blastocyst (5 or 6 days in vitro before cryopreservation) transfers. The IUI cycles represented no time in vitro. To attain a comparable interval for serum-hCG (s-hCG), the ovulation induction time was identical: 35-37 h before oocyte retrieval or IUI. The conception day was considered as: the insemination day for pregnancies conceived after IUI, the oocyte retrieval day for fresh ET, or the transfer day minus 3 or 5 as appropriate for FET of Day 3 or 5 embryos. Multiple linear regression analysis was used, including days post-conception for the hCG measurement as a covariate, and was adjusted for the women's age, the cause of infertility, and the centre. For FET, a sensitivity analysis was used to adjust for endometrial preparation. The study totally includes 5524 cycles: 2395 FET cycles, 2521 fresh ET cycles, and 608 IUI cycles. Regarding the length of in vitro culture, with IUI as reference (for no time in in vitro culture), we found a significantly lower s-hCG in pregnancies achieved after fresh ET (cleavage-stage ET or blastocyst transfer). S-hCG was 18% (95% CI: 13-23%, P < 0.001) lower after fresh cleavage-stage ET, and 23% (95% CI: 18-28%, P < 0.001) lower after fresh blastocyst transfer compared to IUI. In FET cycles, s-hCG was significantly higher after blastocyst transfers compared to cleavage-stage FET, respectively, 26% (95% CI: 13-40%, P < 0.001) higher when cryopreserved on in vitro Day 5, and 14% (95% CI: 2-26%, P = 0.02) higher when cryopreserved on in vitro Day 6 as compared to Day 3. Regarding the ART treatment type, s-hCG after FET blastocyst transfer (Day 5 blastocysts) cycles was significantly higher, 33% (95% CI: 27-45%, P < 0.001), compared to fresh ET (Day 5 blastocyst), while there was no difference between cleavage-stage FET (Days 2 + 3) and fresh ET (Days 2 + 3). S-hCG was 12% (95% CI: 4-19%, 0.005) lower in PGT FET (Day 5 blastocysts) cycles as compared to FET cycles without PGT (Day 5 blastocysts). The retrospective design is a limitation which introduces the risk of possible bias and confounders such as embryo score, parity, and ovarian stimulation. This study elucidates how practices in medically assisted reproduction treatment are associated with the hCG kinetics, underlining a potential impact of in vitro culture length and mode of ART on the very early embryo development and implantation. The study provides clinicians knowledge that the type of ART used may be relevant to take into account when evaluating s-hCG for the prognosis of the pregnancy.

The Effect Of Economic Growth And Inflation On Value Added Tax Revenue In ASEAN Countries With Foreign Direct Investment As a Moderation

Goods and Services Tax or also known as Value Added Tax is one of the taxation systems implemented by many countries around the world. The VAT system has been implemented in most ASEAN member countries with various rates. This study aims to analyze the effect of economic growth and inflation on VAT revenue in ASEAN countries in the period 2012 to 2019. In addition, this study will also examine the effect of foreign investment as a moderating variable. The analysis method used is panel data multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the GDP and FDI variables had a positive and significant effect on VAT revenue and the CPI variable had a negative and significant effect on VAT revenue. Furthermore, FDI weakens the relationship between economic growth and VAT revenue and FDI does not affect the relationship between inflation and VAT revenue. Due to the limited availability of data, it is expected that future research can use more comprehensive and up-to-date data so that it can be more accurate and relevant in analyzing the factors that affect VAT revenue in ASEAN countries.

Based on the relationship between anxiety of existential meaninglessness, hope level, and fear of progression, explored the effect of preoperative nursing with Orem theory in the senile cataract population

BackgroundCataracts, characterized by a decrease in vision due to the clouding of the lens, can progress to blindness in advanced stages. The rising incidence of cataract cases has led to a significant number of patients experiencing negative emotions associated with vision loss, thereby diminishing their quality of life. In clinical practice, it is imperative for healthcare professionals to consider the psychological well-being of cataract patients. Currently, there is a scarcity of research focusing on psychological evaluations, such as assessing feelings of meaninglessness among individuals with cataracts.ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the factors influencing the anxiety of existential meaninglessness and to explore the relationships among existential anxiety, Herth hope index levels and fear of progression in the elderly cataract-affected population. Additionally, it evaluates the effectiveness of Orem’s nursing care strategies.MethodsUtilizing a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Existential Meaninglessness Anxiety Scale (EM-A), Herth Hope Index Level Scale, and the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), this research employed convenience sampling for a cross-sectional and intervention study. The retrospective study sample comprised 1,029 individuals, while the intervention study included 317. The intervention design assessed psychological changes in existential meaninglessness following Orem’s preoperative nursing interventions. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to ascertain the determinants of EM-A within the population of elderly patients with senile cataracts. Pearson correlation analysis elucidated the relationship between EM-A, levels of hope, and the FoP-Q-SF among this demographic. Subsequent investigations, utilizing a t-test, evaluated the effects by comparing the data before and after the implementation of the interventions.ResultsThe correlation between EM-A, hope levels, and FoP-Q-SF was statistically significant (p &amp;lt; 0.05). Factors such as age, education level, alcohol consumption habits, hope levels, and FoP-Q-SF scores significantly affected EM-A scores (p &amp;lt; 0.05). Orem’s nursing framework significantly reduced existential anxiety (p &amp;lt; 0.05).ConclusionAmong elderly patients with cataracts, existential anxiety was generally moderate. Hope levels and fear of progression were closely associated with the EM-A. The novel Orem preoperative care model effectively addresses clinical issues. In clinical practice, it is crucial to address psychological problems and enhance patients’ quality of life.

The relationships between certified nursing assistants' voice behaviour and job satisfaction, work engagement and turnover intentions: A two-wave survey study.

Whereas voice behaviour has been identified as a key precursor to safe and high-quality patient care, little is known about how voice relates to key workforce outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between certified nursing assistants' perceived promotive voice behaviour (speaking up with suggestions for future improvement) and prohibitive voice behaviour (speaking up about problems or potentially harmful situations) and their self-reported levels of job satisfaction, work engagement and turnover intentions. Dutch certified nursing assistants were recruited for a two-wave survey study through non-random convenience sampling. The final sample contained 152 respondents. The data were analysed using multiple linear regression analyses. In all analyses, the dependent variable at time one was controlled for. Certified nursing assistants' promotive and prohibitive voice behaviour at time one were found to be positively related to their level of job satisfaction at time two while controlling for job satisfaction at time one. No relationships with work engagement or occupational turnover intentions were found. While previous research has found positive effects of voice on patient safety outcomes and team and organizational improvements in care organizations, we demonstrate that voice is also related to a key workforce outcome, that is, certified nursing assistants' job satisfaction. Recognizing the interplay between voice behaviour and job satisfaction underscores the importance of creating work environments where certified nursing assistants feel able and willing to make their voices heard-with ideas and suggestions, as well as information regarding problems and concerns. Three certified nursing assistants have contributed to the development of the survey.

Parental reactions to child negative emotions and child behavioral adjustment: The moderating role of child inhibitory control

According to the heuristic model of emotion socialization by Eisenberg et al., parental reactions to children’s negative emotions (RCNE) have an important role in this socialization process; however, its effects on children’s social-emotional outcomes may be moderated by the children’s temperament. This longitudinal study verified this proposition by testing maternal and paternal RCNE as predictors of preschoolers’ behavioral adjustment and child inhibitory control as a moderator of these associations. Mothers and fathers of 113 Chinese children ( Mage = 57.41 months, SD = 7.16 months) reported on their RCNE and child inhibitory control at Time 1 (T1) and reported on child behavioral adjustment (i.e., externalizing problems, internalizing problems, and prosocial behaviors) both at T1 and 6 months later (Time 2, T2). Multiple linear regression analyses showed that after controlling for child behavioral adjustment at T1, child age, and paternal education level, (a) paternal supportive reactions negatively predicted child externalizing problems and positively predicted child prosocial behaviors, and (b) the associations between parental RCNE and child behavioral adjustment were moderated by child inhibitory control. Specifically, only for children low on inhibitory control, paternal supportive reactions negatively predicted child externalizing problems, and maternal supportive reactions positively predicted child prosocial behaviors.

Clinical, genetic, and cognitive correlates of seizure occurrences in Phelan-McDermid syndrome

BackgroundPhelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by SHANK3 haploinsufficiency and is associated with an increased risk for seizures. Previous literature indicates that around one third of individuals with PMS also have epilepsy or seizures, with a wide range of types and ages of onset. Investigating the impact of seizures on intellectual and adaptive functioning for PMS is a primary concern for caregivers and is important to understanding the natural history of this syndrome.MethodsWe report on results from 98 individuals enrolled in a prospective, longitudinal study. We detailed seizure frequency, type, and age of onset, and we analyzed seizure occurrence with best estimate IQ, adaptive functioning, clinical features, and genotype. We conducted multiple linear regression analyses to assess the relationship between the presence of seizures and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, Second Edition (VABS-II) Adaptive Behavior Composite score and the best estimate full-scale IQ. We also performed Chi-square tests to explore associations between seizure prevalence and genetic groupings. Finally, we performed Chi-square tests and t-tests to explore the relationship between seizures and demographic features, features that manifest in infancy, and medical features.ResultsSeizures were present in 41% of the cohort, and age of onset was widely variable. The presence of seizures was associated with significantly lower adaptive and intellectual functioning. Genotype–phenotype analyses were discrepant, with no differences in seizure prevalence across genetic classes, but with more genes included in deletions of participants with 22q13 deletions and seizures compared to those with 22q13 deletions and no seizures. No clinical associations were found between the presence of seizures and sex, history of pre- or neonatal complications, early infancy, or medical features. In this cohort, generalized seizures were associated with developmental regression, which is a top concern for PMS caregivers.ConclusionsThese results begin to eludicate correlates of seizures in individuals with PMS and highlight the importance of early seizure management. Importantly, presence of seizures was associated with adaptive and cognitive functioning. A larger cohort might be able to identify additional associations with medical features. Genetic findings suggest an increased capability to realize genotype–phenotype relationships when deletion size is taken into account.

Reliability and validity of a novel attention assessment scale (broken ring enVision search test) in the Chinese population

BackgroundThe correct assessment of attentional function is the key to cognitive research. A new attention assessment scale, the Broken Ring enVision Search Test (BReViS), has not been validated in China. The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the BReViS in the Chinese population.MethodsFrom July to October 2023, 100 healthy residents of Changzhou were selected and subjected to the BReViS, Digital Cancelation Test (D-CAT), Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), and Digit Span Test (DST). Thirty individuals were randomly chosen to undergo the BReViS twice for test–retest reliability assessment. Correlation analysis was conducted between age, education level, gender, and various BReViS sub-tests including Selective Attention (SA), Orientation of Attention (OA), Focal Attention (FA), and Total Errors (Err). Intergroup comparisons and multiple linear regression analyses were performed. Additionally, correlation analyses between the BReViS sub-tests and with other attention tests were also analyzed.ResultsThe correlation coefficients of the BReViS sub-tests (except for FA) between the two tests were greater than 0.600 (p &amp;lt; 0.001), indicating good test–retest reliability. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.874, suggesting high internal consistency reliability. SA showed a significant negative correlation with the net score of D-CAT (r = −0.405, p &amp;lt; 0.001), and a significant positive correlation with the error rate of D-CAT (r = 0.401, p &amp;lt; 0.001), demonstrating good criterion-related validity. The correlation analysis among the results of each sub-test showed that the correlation coefficient between SA and Err was 0.532 (p &amp;lt; 0.001), and between OA and Err was-0.229 (p &amp;lt; 0.05), whereas there was no significant correlation between SA, OA, and FA, which indicated that the scale had good informational content validity and structural validity. Both SA and Err were significantly correlated with age and years of education, while gender was significantly correlated with OA and Err. Multiple linear regression suggested that Err was mainly affected by age and gender. There were significant differences in the above indexes among different age, education level and gender groups. Correlation analysis with other attention tests revealed that SA negatively correlated with DST forward and backward scores and SDMT scores. Err positively correlated with D-CAT net scores and negatively with D-CAT error rate, DST forward and backward scores, and SDMT scores. OA and FA showed no significant correlation with other attention tests.ConclusionThe BReViS test, demonstrating good reliability and validity, assessing not only selective attention but also gauging capacities in immediate memory, information processing speed, visual scanning, and hand-eye coordination. The results are susceptible to demographic variables such as age, gender, and education level.

The effect of PAP on UACR and metabolic indexes in patients with MS and OSAHS.

To investigate the effects of positive airway pressure (PAP) device on urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) and metabolic indexes in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). This study is a retrospective cohort study. Grouped according to whether to use PAP treatment, there were 25 cases in the PAP group and 44 cases in the no OSAHS treatment group. The PAP group received positive airway pressure device and routine treatment of MS. The no OSAHS treatment group received routine treatment of OSAHS and MS. The treatment period is 3 months. 1. The PAP group demonstrated significant reductions in Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist circumference (WC), Neck circumference (NC), Visceral fat area (VFA), Fasting C peptide (FCP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and UACR compared to the no OSAHS treatment group, with significant differences (P all <0.05). Among them, the UACR in the PAP group decreased significantly (from 86.05(52.55,131.61)mg/g to 16.76(8.70,25.12)mg/g, P<0.001). 2. Linear regression analysis using the decrease in UACR values as the dependent variable demonstrated a positive linear relationship with the decrease in BMI, VFA, fasting insulin (FINS), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Furthermore, multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the decrease in VFA (B=0.537 [95% confidence interval, 0.084 to 0.989]; P = 0.021) and HOMA-IR (B=1.000 [95% confidence interval, 0.082 to 1.917]; P = 0.033) values independently correlated with decrease in UACR values. PAP treatment can reduce UACR in patients with MS and OSAHS, and has the effect of improving metabolic disorders. The decrease of UACR in patients may be related to the decrease of visceral fat and the improvement of insulin resistance.

Demographic, socioeconomic, and health structure factors associated with the use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis in Brazil: A nationwide ecological study.

Aims: To assess the cumulative rate of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) users in Brazil since its 2018 implementation and to analyze the association between PrEP usage and state-level structural factors. Methods: A nationwide ecological study from 2018 to 2022 was conducted, examining the 5-year cumulative rate of PrEP users in relation to demographic, socioeconomic, and healthcare infrastructure variables. Multiple linear regression analysis identified significant predictors of PrEP utilization. Results: Between 2018 and 2022, 124,796 individuals used PrEP, with a cumulative rate of 61.5 per 100,000 population. The highest usage was in Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Santa Catarina, while the lowest was in Distrito Federal, Maranhão, and Alagoas. Regression analysis showed that higher PrEP usage was associated with lower population density, a younger median age, a lower male to female ratio, and reduced social vulnerability. Additionally, PrEP usage was positively associated with the density of medical doctors and the number of dispensing units. Conclusions: The study reveals significant regional disparities in PrEP usage across Brazil, influenced by socioeconomic and healthcare factors. It highlights the need for targeted public health strategies to enhance PrEP access and uptake, especially in socially vulnerable regions.

Assessing Inequality in Urban Green Spaces with Consideration for Physical Activity Promotion: Utilizing Spatial Analysis Techniques Supported by Multisource Data

Urban green spaces (UGSs) play a significant role in promoting public health by facilitating outdoor activities, but issues of spatial and socioeconomic inequality within UGSs have drawn increasing attention. However, current methods for assessing UGS inequality still face challenges such as data acquisition difficulties and low identification accuracy. Taking Harbin as a case study, this research employs various advanced technologies, including Python data scraping, drone imagery collection, and Amap API, to gather a diverse range of data on UGSs, including photos, high-resolution images, and AOI boundaries. Firstly, elements related to physical activity within UGSs are integrated into a supply adjustment index (SAI), based on which UGSs are classified into three categories. Then, a supply–demand improved two-step floating catchment area (SD2SFCA) method is employed to more accurately measure the accessibility of these three types of UGSs. Finally, using multiple linear regression analysis and Mann–Whitney U tests, socioeconomic inequalities in UGS accessibility are explored. The results indicate that (1) significant differentiation exists in the types of UGS services available in various urban areas, with a severe lack of small-scale, low-supply UGSs; (2) accessibility of all types of UGSs is significantly positively associated with housing prices, with higher-priced areas demonstrating notably higher accessibility compared to lower-priced ones; (3) children may be at a disadvantage in accessing UGSs with medium-supply levels. Future planning efforts need to enhance attention to vulnerable groups. This study underscores the importance of considering different types of UGSs in inequality assessments and proposes a method that could serve as a valuable tool for accurately assessing UGS inequality.
