Exploring the experience of family members caring for a relative with alcohol use disorder: A phenomenological inquiry.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a global concern with negative physical, psychological and social consequences. The ramifications of AUD extend beyond the individual and affect their family caregivers. Yet, the majority of existing research has primarily focused on individuals with AUD and interventions to encourage their abstinence rather than on their support systems. In order to advance a holistic approach, research to address this gap is imperative to understand family caregiver concerns and needs for added support. We conducted a qualitative study using van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological approach to uncover the meaning of family caregivers' lived experiences and capture the essence of their involvement in caring for a relative with AUD. A purposeful and snowball sample of family members (N = 10) living within the United States participated in a face-to-face or virtual, one-on-one audio-recorded interview and a second meeting for member checking the transcribed data. Participants received a $20.00 gift card as a token for their participation. Six major themes emerged from the description of participants' lived experiences: (1) traversing the peaks and valleys, (2) wandering in the unknown, (3) pointing fingers, (4) weathering the storm, (5) drawing a line and (6) looking back, looking in. Although participants experienced many challenges, they never relinquished and remained committed to their caregiver role. Steadfastly staying with their relatives through crises exemplifies commitment as described by Sister Simone Roach's Theory of Caring. Through the ups and downs, each participant found meaning from the experience, which aligned closely with Starck's Theory of Meaning. This study has implications for nursing practice, public health policy and highlights the need for collaboration to address the existing challenges for family caregivers of relatives with AUD.

The Psychological Health of Iranian Citizens Protesting the Actions of Their Country's Morality Police: La santé psychologique des citoyens iraniens qui manifestent contre les actions de la police des mœurs de leur pays.

To determine the mental health of Iranian citizens protesting the actions of their country's Morality Police. Street protests across Iran were met with violent suppression that included security forces reportedly targeting protestors' eyes. A group of 63 Iranian protestors (58.7% female; mean age 32.0 [SD = 9.43] years, from all socio-economic classes) who had been part of street protests against the regime's morality police, was recruited by convenience sampling between May and August 2023 by journalists working underground in Iran. The study was conducted in Farsi by telephone (n = 60) and in-person (n = 3). Demographic and psychometric data were collected, the latter including symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Impact of Events Scale-Revised) and depression (Beck Depression Inventory-Revised), in Farsi-validated scales. Between-group comparisons were undertaken with one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey comparisons. Significance was set at P < 0.05. The protestors comprised three groups: not wounded (n = 27: 59.26% female, mean age 34.44 [SD = 12.11] years), non-eye wound (n = 23; 60.87% female, mean age 32.61 [SD = 5.89] years) and eye-wound (n = 13; 53.85% female, mean age 27.54 [SD = 6.58] years). The eye wound group (blinded in one or both eyes) had less severe intrusion symptoms of PTSD (P = 0.048) and depression (P = 0.0001) than the non-eye wound group. The not wounded group had less severe symptoms of depression than the non-eye wound group (P = 0.003). Every protestor who had lost sight regarded their actions, notwithstanding their physical consequences, in a positive psychological light. Contrary to our a-prior hypothesis, Iranian protestors blinded in one or both eyes were faring better psychologically than protestors with non-eye wounds. Possible reasons for this included higher rates of psychological treatment and social support in the eye-wound group compared to the other two groups post-injury and the nascent development of posttraumatic growth.

Nerve Growth Factor and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in COVID-19

Neurotrophins (NTs) constitute a family of small protein messengers that play a fundamental role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. In particular, the nerve growth factor (NGF) and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) play a subtle role in the survival, differentiation, and functioning of neuronal populations, as well as in the fine regulation of immune functions. The SARS-CoV-2 infection was characterized by a sequela of symptoms (serious respiratory pathology, inflammatory storm, neurological discomfort, up to the less serious flu-like symptoms), which caused, at the end of 2023, more than 7 million deaths worldwide. Despite the official end of the pandemic, the physical and psychological consequences are currently the object of scientific research, both acute and chronic/long-lasting (Long-COVID-19). Given the multifactorial nature of the outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection in adults and children, several studies have investigated the potential involvement of the NGF and BDNF systems in the pathology. This narrative review aims to summarize the most recent evidence on this crucial topic.

A Costly Cure: Understanding and Addressing Financial Toxicity in Cardiovascular Disease Health Care Within the Domain of Social Determinants of Health.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a significant financial burden on patients and families, compounded by both direct and indirect healthcare costs. The increasing prevalence of CVD, coupled with the rising costs of treatment, exacerbates financial toxicity-defined as the economic strain and associated physical, emotional, and behavioral consequences on patients. This review explores the scope of financial toxicity in CVD care, detailing its prevalence, associated risk factors, and the complex interplay with social determinants of health such as income, insurance status, and comorbidities. Drawing from models in oncology, we highlight key interventions aimed at mitigating financial toxicity, including patient counseling, financial navigation, and enhanced patient-physician cost discussions. By adopting these approaches, healthcare providers can better support patients with CVD in managing both their health and financial well-being, potentially improving clinical outcomes. Future research is needed to develop standardized assessment tools for financial toxicity in CVD and implement system-wide mitigation strategies.

A silent pandemic of violence against providers in obstetrics and gynecology: A mixed-methods study based on a global survey.

To quantify and qualify the experience of workplace violence (WPV) in a global sample of providers in obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN). We performed a mixed-methods analysis on data from a global survey. Survey content was designed around categorical and open-ended questions in relation to WPV; the occurrence and character, the physical and psychological consequences, training and support structures, and perceived triggers of the experience of WPV. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and text data using mixed deductive-inductive content analysis. These data were integrated using convergent joint display. Between October 2023 and January 2024, survey responses were collected from 77 individual countries. Among the final sample, 764/1016 (75.2%) had experienced WPV, 699/1016 (68.8%) verbal, and 123/1016 (12.1%) physical violence. The violence affected physical health, psychological health, or job satisfaction for 106/764 (13.9%), 36/7642 (47.4%), and 222/764 (29.1%) of individuals respectively; 216/764 (28.3%) received support. Main WPV triggers were staff shortages, lack of security personnel, and long waiting times, identified by 38.8%, 37.5%, and 37.3% of respondents respectively. Qualitative data indicated that violence caused severe and long-lasting suffering. Catalysts for WPV were often reported as complex interplays between unmet or unrealistic expectations and insufficient resources. Lack of support for WPV was explained as violence being "part of the job" and a culture of assumed resilience among providers. WPV against OBGYN providers seems to be ubiquitous, arises from a complex interplay of factors, and causes significant injury while receiving insufficient mitigation and support.

Intra- and intergenerational food insecurity: An analysis of Black and White women and children from the NHLBI Growth and Health Study

BackgroundFood insecurity (FI) continues to be a significant public health concern and is associated with myriad physical and mental health consequences. Increased understanding of conditions around its occurrence throughout the life course are needed. However, research has been limited due to inadequate measurement tools and study length. ObjectiveThis study examined the intra- and intergenerational dynamics of FI over time by assessing the transmission of FI from childhood to adulthood, and from mother to offspring using population-specific FI measures, and the influence of sociodemographic factors. MethodsWomen in early midlife (n=624) and their children (n=331) participated in a prospective cohort study between 1987-2019 in Richmond, California. Three validated FI measures were assessed, representing 1) past childhood FI and 2) current adult household FI, reported by the women, and 3) current child FI, reported by the women’s children. Associations between measures were examined using adjusted modified Poisson regression models. Mediation by current adult household FI between past childhood FI and their offspring’s current child FI was assessed. Moderation by sociodemographic factors, including poverty level, parental education, marital status, and race was also assessed. ResultsAmong women, 32.4% reported FI in childhood and 34.5% reported current adult household FI. Among their offspring, 53.2% reported current child FI. Past childhood FI increased the likelihood of current adult FI (RR: 2.18, 95%CI: 1.64, 2.90) and current adult FI increased the likelihood of current child FI (RR:1.49, 95%CI: 1.08, 2.07). Current adult FI partially mediated past childhood FI and their offspring’s current child FI (Natural indirect effect: 1.42, 95%CI: 1.03, 2.24). There was no evidence of moderation by sociodemographic factors. ConclusionsFI measures reported by adults and children capture differing experiences, highlighting the need to use FI measures that are appropriate for their target population. FI may be perpetuated intra- and intergenerationally.

Understanding the impact of delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

ABSTRACT Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex and multifaceted autoimmune disease that poses a significant diagnostic challenge for healthcare providers due to its diverse clinical manifestations, lack of specific testing, and potential to mimic other conditions. Delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of SLE can have serious consequences for patients, impacting their physical and psychological well-being. The physical consequences of delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of SLE are significant. Studies have shown that delays in diagnosis can lead to increased organ damage, poorer health outcomes, and increased morbidity and mortality. With a delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, patients may also experience increased psychological symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and lack of trust in clinicians. The median delay from the first symptom to diagnosis in SLE is 47 months, highlighting the need for early recognition and management. Delayed diagnosis can lead to increased disease progression, which can result in irreversible organ damage and long-term complications. This paper investigates the multifaceted consequences of delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of SLE, encompassing both physical and psychological impacts. It delves into the underlying reasons behind diagnostic delays and offers comprehensive strategies for healthcare providers to enhance early recognition and management. Through a thorough analysis of medical literature and statistical data, this paper aims to provide physicians with actionable insights to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in SLE.

Superconducting multi-vortices and a novel BPS bound in chiral perturbation theory

We derive a novel BPS bound from chiral perturbation theory minimally coupled to electrodynamics at finite isospin chemical potential. At a critical value of the isospin chemical potential, a system of three first-order differential field equations (which implies the second-order field equations) for the gauge field and the hadronic profile can be derived from the requirement to saturate the bound. These BPS configurations represent magnetic multi-vortices with quantized flux supported by a superconducting current. The corresponding topological charge density is related to the magnetic flux density, but is screened by the hadronic profile. Such a screening effect allows to derive the maximal value of the magnetic field generated by these BPS magnetic vortices, being Bmax = 2, 04 × 1014 G. The solution for a single BPS vortex is discussed in detail, and some physical consequences, together with the comparison with the magnetic vortices in the Ginzburg-Landau theory at critical coupling, are described.

Considerations in Paediatric and Adolescent Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] is rising most rapidly among children and adolescents. Paediatric-onset IBD is associated with a more extensive and severe disease course compared to adult-onset IBD. At a young age, screening for underlying genetic and immunological disorders is important and may impact treatment management. Early and effective treatment is crucial to reach disease remission and prevent complications of ongoing active disease. In children with Crohn's disease, exclusive enteral nutrition is an effective induction therapy. Other promising dietary therapies, such as the Crohn's disease exclusion diet, are emerging. Within paediatric IBD, anti-tumour necrosis factor therapy is the only approved biological thus far and additional treatment options are crucially needed. Other biological therapies, such as vedolizumab and ustekinumab, are currently prescribed off-label in this population. A specific challenge in paediatric IBD is the unacceptable and major delay in approval of drugs for children with IBD. A guided transfer period of paediatric patients to adult care is associated with improved disease outcomes and is required. Major knowledge gaps and challenges within paediatric IBD include the aetiology, diagnostics, and monitoring of disease, tailoring of treatment, and both understanding and coping with the physical and psychological consequences of living with IBD. Challenges and research gaps in paediatrics should be addressed without any delay in comparison with the adult field, in order to ensure a high quality of care for all patients with IBD, irrespective of the age of onset.

ProtAct-Us from serious injuries with long-term consequences

Abstract Battling serious injuries and long-term consequences in road traffic remains one important issue in the overall goal of resilient future road transport and its Vision Zero. Challenges of increasing personal transport in urban areas coupled with autonomous vehicles and shuttles, new mobility devices and the overall need to ensure the safety of vulnerable road users as well as all types of vehicle occupants’ require solid medical background knowledge paired with innovative engineering approaches. EU Horizon Europe is currently funding the ProtAct-Us consortium (2024-2027) that aims at protecting all Road User Groups from serious injury and long-term physical, cognitive and mental health consequences related to road crashes through innovatively interlinked research action between medical and engineering methods and approaches. ProtAct-Us works on the following goals and challenges: i) Medical data correlation, standardisation and classification of long-term consequences of road crashes; ii) Robust and reliable medical, epidemiological and engineering tools like agreed methods to collect information on long-term consequences, upgraded Human Body Models and virtual assessment methods for the extremities, head, neck and face allowing for effective countermeasure development for all road users; iii) Reduction of long-term consequences and related socio-economic cost of road crash related injuries for all road users. The ProtAct-Us solutions will influence new standards in respect of extending current injury codification system with relevant long-term aspects, allowing new physical as well as virtual safety assessment procedures and adaption of rules and regulations to be implemented. Finally, scientifically well-founded suggestion for future implementation into policy, regulatory, and standardization guidelines for an inclusive safety improvement approach for in- as well as post-crash will be provided.

Heavy Work Investment (HWI) and Its Effect on Employees’ Physical and Mental Health

Abstract Background Economic reality and centrality of work have led to employees investing much time and effort in work. However, The number of hours spent at work may not be the only explanation, and other characteristics, such as type of work, employees’ personality, economic status, motivations, etc., need to be considered. The Heavy Work Investment model (Snir &amp; Harpaz, 2012) considers these variables and classifies employees into four types of investors. This study examines the physical and mental health consequences of each HWI group. Methods Participants (N = 962) were workers who came to a medical center for annual medical screenings. About 70% were males, and the average age was 50.13 years (SD = 9.53). They divided into 5 groups: Typical full-time workers (N = 208, 29.2%), ‘Needy’ (N = 111, 15.6%), ‘Employer directed’ (N = 111, 15.6%), ‘Workaholic’ (N = 192, 26.9%) and ‘Work devoted’ (N = 91, 12.7%). The personal data was cross-referenced with the respondents’ health data. Differences for categorical variables were examined with Chi-square analyses. Results ‘Employer-directed’ employees, more than ‘work-devoted’ employees, perceived their health status as preventing them from performing mild activities. ‘Employer-directed’ and ‘needy’ employees, more than ‘work-devoted’ employees, perceived their health status as interfering with their social activities and their pain as interfering with their regular activities. ‘Workaholic’ employees suffered from more diseases than ‘work-devoted’ employees, and they were found to be 3.70 times more likely to be at a high risk of cardiovascular disease than typical full-time workers. Conclusions It is possible to anticipate types of health damage according to occupation type and develop occupation-adjusted health promotion programs. It is necessary to base labor laws on protecting employees’ health, particularly regarding time and workload’ outside of work’ in both hours (additional or flexible) and location (hybrid work). Key messages • Inspire organizations to be aware of potential injuries caused by HWI and promote the creation of intervention programs, potentially significantly improving employees’ health and well-being. • Evidence for the necessary laws that protect employees’ health, particularly regarding time and workload ‘outside of work’ in both hours (additional or flexible) and location (hybrid work).

Reversible esterification process in Casson nanofluids: A numerical analysis of non-newtonian hydromagnetic flow

A computational mechanism has been formulated to scientifically analyze the phenomenon of combined convection in the occurrence of magnetohydrodynamic flow behavior of Casson nanofluid. This study emphasizes the trajectory of the nanofluid along a stretching sheet with nonlinear permeability, while considering additional physical effects such as reversible chemical reaction, thermal radiation, energy source/sink, suction and viscous dissipation. In this study, we have additionally integrated the nanofluid paradigm proposed by Buongiorno, which encompasses the repercussion of thermophoresis along with Brownian motion. The utilization of appropriate similarity renovations serves the purpose of recasting the dominant multivariate differential equations to a collection of nonlinear differential equations in single variable. The Runge–Kutta shooting mechanism is implemented for the intention of numerically determining the unknown boundary conditions. The solution to the dominant equations was obtained by employing the fourth-order Runge–Kutta technique and to ensure the dependability of the outcomes, the bvp4c method was employed. The graphical and tabulated observations are presented herein to facilitate a comprehensive analysis of the underlying physical characteristics inherent in the problem at hand. The utilization of the Casson parameter has been found to be advantageous in the reduction of shear stress rate, along with the enhancement of mass and energy transfer rates. Additionally, the application of suction has been observed to be beneficial in the enhancement of Sherwood number and energy transfer rate. Within the scope of the context of the esterification process, the purpose of this proposal is to evaluate the impact that numerous arithmetical values exert on the temperature field, the velocity profile and the volumetric concentration. An in-depth graphical analysis that takes into account the relevant physical consequences is used to evaluate the most important factors that relate to the physical quantities that describe the contours of temperature, velocity and concentration. In addition to being accompanied by their respective explanations, the tabular portrayal of the local Sherwood number, shear stress rate along with local Nusselt number all feature in this paper. There is a clear distinction that can be made between irreversible and reversible flows in the evaluation of the local Sherwood number, rate of shear stress and local Nusselt number. This differentiation is brought about by taking into analysis thermophoresis parameter, Brownian motion parameter and suction parameter. The results that were produced from the theoretical simulations have significant repercussions for a variety of fields that are related to energy engineering. The findings derived from the analysis indicate a negative correlation between the Brownian motion parameter and both irreversible and reversible flow in terms of rate of energy transfer and shear stress rate. It is imperative to highlight that reversible flow holds greater significance in comparison to irreversible flow.

Cancer survivorship and long-term outcomes: navigating the challenges beyond treatment

The increasing number of cancer survivors due to advancements in early detection and treatment has shifted the focus of oncology to the long-term health and well-being of these individuals. Cancer survivorship encompasses a wide range of challenges that extend beyond the completion of treatment, including physical, psychological, social, and economic issues. This review explores the long-term physical health consequences of cancer treatment, such as neuropathy, cardiotoxicity, and chronic conditions, and highlights the psychological burdens, including anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment, commonly faced by survivors. The article also addresses the social and economic impacts, such as difficulties in returning to work and financial toxicity, which further complicate the survivorship experience. Additionally, the review emphasizes the importance of assessing and improving the quality of life (QoL) for survivors through personalized interventions and the implementation of survivorship care plans (SCPs). Emerging research on biomarkers, telemedicine, and policy advocacy is discussed as critical components for advancing survivorship care. The review concludes that a comprehensive approach, including ongoing research, personalized care, and supportive policies, is essential to meet the diverse needs of cancer survivors and improve their long-term outcomes and QoL.

Virtual Physics’ Programs &amp; Students’ Improvements

The research article examines the effect of virtual Physics’ programs on students' achievement in the subject within public secondary schools in the Kakamega South sub-county. Quasi-experimental research design was adopted, quantitative data from a sample of form two students was collected using physics achievement test. The data was analyzed using Difference in Difference model. Findings showed a statistically significant difference in achievement between students taught using Physics virtual programs and those taught using face to face. The results of the analysis also showed that students’ achievement in physics was increasing by 1.34 point over time and the increase was statistically significant The findings are in agreement with those of Smith (2013) in a study comparing in-person learning and blended learning in secondary schools within New Zealand who reported a significant difference between students' achievement in blended and face-to-face classes. The findings would provide widespread benefits that extend to individual student by enhancing their understanding hence improved learning achievement. Its overall argument is that the government through KICD rolls out full integration of virtual physics programs in secondary education curriculum, incorporating teacher professional development and blended teaching and learning.

Muslim Women's Experiences of Domestic Violence and Abuse: A Meta-Ethnography of Global Evidence.

Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a form of interpersonal violence perpetrated by intimate partners or family members. It includes physical, sexual, psychological, emotional, and economic abuse, as well as coercive and controlling behaviors. DVA is associated with severe physical, psychological, social, and economic consequences for the victims. Muslim women, like women from all communities, experience DVA in its various forms, however, they may experience additional barriers when seeking support. This review was conducted using a meta-ethnography approach to synthesize published qualitative evidence on Muslim women's perspectives and experiences of DVA. A systematic search of global evidence in six electronic English databases including Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and ASSIA identified a total of 33 qualitative studies that met the inclusion criteria. The synthesis of these studies revealed four major themes: the experience and impacts of abuse; risk factors contributing to abuse; help-seeking; and the coping strategies of Muslim women. These findings emphasize the importance of religion not only as a risk factor for violence and a barrier to help-seeking but also as a coping strategy for dealing with violence. The findings offer important insights for policymaking and in supporting these women more effectively.

The Λc → Λ ℓ+νℓ weak decay including new physics

We investigate the Λc → Λℓ+νℓ decay with a focus on potential new physics (NP) effects in the ℓ = μ channel. We employ an effective Hamiltonian within the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) to consider generalized dimension-6 semileptonic c → s operators of scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, axial-vector and tensor types. We rely on Lattice QCD (LQCD) for the hadronic transition form factors, using heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS) to determine those that have not yet been obtained on the lattice. Uncertainties due to the truncation of the NP Hamiltonian and different implementations of HQSS are taken into account. As a result, we unravel the NP discovery potential of the Λc → Λ semileptonic decay in different observables. Our findings indicate high sensitivity to NP in lepton flavour universality ratios, probing multi-TeV scales in some cases. On the theoretical side, we identify LQCD uncertainties in axial and vector form factors as critical for improving NP sensitivity, alongside better SMEFT uncertainty estimations.

Cross-sectional Assessment of Body Image Perception, Image Satisfaction, Body Image Discrepancy and Dietary Habits in Medical Students of Ujjain

Background: Being judgmental about self-body image and satisfaction or dissatisfaction with one’s own body is a natural phenomenon. If perceived incorrectly can lead to dissatisfaction and negative social, emotional, psychological and physical consequences. Methods: A cross-sectional study was planned and the data was collected with the help of a semi-structured proforma. Body image perception, image satisfaction, and associated dietary modification were inquired about, and Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Image Discrepancy Score (BIDS) were calculated. The body image perception of participants was collected with the help of the Figure Rating Scale (FRS). Results: χ2 test, kappa statistics, Mann–Whitney test, multinominal regression, and Z-standardization were applied. Few 10% of participants perceived themselves as underweight, 48% as normal weight and 42% as overweight or obese. About 48%, 19%, and 33% of participants were satisfied, neutral and dissatisfied respectively by their perceived body image, and 43% of the participants had modified their diet. A statistically significant association was found between body image perception, image satisfaction, body image discrepancy and gender. Conclusion: There was a huge disagreement between perceived and actual body image. Overestimation and underestimation of body image were common in males and females respectively. Misperception of body image might lead to unnecessary dietary modifications resulting in malnutrition and somatoform disorders.
