A pragmatic randomized controlled exploratory trial of the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy for psychotic disorder

BackgroundPeople with severe mental illness are often excluded from trials related to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Principal concerns are that they may not tolerate treatment, might risk relapse or that psychotic symptoms may worsen. There is however building evidence of a traumatogenic etiology of psychotic disorder that may benefit therapeutically from EMDR. However, EMDR in this role is done mainly in specialist tertiary settings. AimTo conduct a randomized exploratory trial of prospective treatment of EMDR for people with psychotic disorder and a history of trauma in an adult community mental health service. MethodsA randomized exploratory trial with a controlled pilot design was employed to conduct a prospective treatment and six-month follow-up study with an interim 10-week analysis in a rural county in the UK (population 538,000). We recruited participants with psychotic disorder who had a reported history of trauma and were interested in receiving trauma therapy. They were then randomized to either receive EMDR or treatment as usual (TAU). The primary instrument used was the Impact of Events Scale (IES) with secondary instruments of Positive and Negative Symptoms of Psychotic Disorder (PANSS), PTSD Checklist (PCL-C), and subjective Quality of Life (MANSA). ResultsIES scores showed significant improvements in the EMDR group (n = 24, age 42.0 SD (14.5), 42% male) compared to the TAU group (n = 12, age 34.4 SD (11.3), 50% male) at 10 weeks and at six months (p < 0.05). There were significant improvements in PCL-C and PANSS negative symptoms scores associated with treatment (p < 0.05). All other scales showed positive trends. ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that EMDR can reduce the impact of traumatic events for patients with a psychotic disorder in a clinical setting in the UK. The improvements in psychotic disorder persisted for six months after treatment. Trial registrationISRCTN43816889.

Enhancing standardization through score-augmented projection-based calibration transfer

Reconstructing statistical models for novel instrumentation entails substantial time and financial investments. To obviate the necessity for such model reconstruction, standardization techniques are widely employed. In this context, we introduce a pioneering standardization method termed Score-Augmented Projection-Based Standardization (SA-PBS). Central to SA-PBS is the extraction of spectral sub-spaces containing interferents common to both the primary and secondary instruments. This extraction employs orthogonal projections as the foundational principle. Execution of the standardization procedure involves the judicious selection of a subset from the primary instrument's recorded dataset, facilitated by the Convex hull tool. This technique ensures the inclusion of independent and information-rich samples from the calibration dataset. Crucially, a subset of samples from the secondary instrument is also incorporated to ensure comprehensive coverage of interferents.Validation of the efficacy of the proposed SA-PBS method is conducted through quantitative analyses of target analytes across diverse scenarios, utilizing the Partial Least Squares method. Comparative assessments are performed against alternative standardization approaches, namely Direct Standardization (DS), Piecewise Direct Standardization (PDS), and Transfer Component Analysis (TCA).

The effect of three different primary teeth rotary instrument systems on the amount of apically extruded debris in pulpectomy of primary teeth.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the amount of apically extruded debris and working time during root canal treatment with three different primary teeth rotary instrument systems. A total of 80 extracted primary second molar teeth were randomly divided into four groups (n=20) stratified by the instruments used: AF Baby Rotary, Easyinsmile Baby Rotary, Endoart Pedo Gold, and hand files. The apical extrusion of debris was collected then dried in Eppendorf tubes that were pre-weighed with 10-4 precision micro-balance. The incubation period was set as 14 days at 37°C. The dry weight was procured by deducting the preoperative weight from the postoperative weight. The systems' working time was calculated by chronometer. Mann Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction was used for pairwise comparison following the variance analysis with Kruskal Wallis test. Wilcoxon test was used for intragroup comparison. Although all instruments caused apically extruded debris (p<0.001), there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in debris extrusion. However, the longest working time was found in the manual K files, the Endoart Pedo Gold system had the shortest working time (p<0.001). Our results demonstrate that all instrument systems caused apical extrusion of debris. Furthermore, the rotary instrument systems designed for primary teeth exhibited significantly shorter working time.

Papal Nuncios in Prague as Part of the Imperial Court: The Significance of Integration, Sociability, and Credibility of Papal Diplomats at the Turn of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

Abstract Papal nuncios at the imperial court in Prague were diplomats who represented their ruler – the sovereign of the Papal States and the head of the Catholic Church. Yet they became a distinctive fixture of the imperial court in the places they served. In order for their integration into the structure of the court to be fluid, their personality traits and character had to fit the universally accepted models that applied to courtiers, namely those pertaining to social background, education, conduct, and disposition. At the same time, they had to possess a sufficient degree of sociability and a capacity to earn trust both in their relationship with the sovereign and with the courtiers. Among the primary instruments of this integration process were a wide variety of social activities, some of which were identical for the entire social group, and others unique to the papal nuncios alone.

Association of electronic learning devices and online learning properties with work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs): A cross-sectional study among Thai undergraduate students.

Computers and mobile devices are becoming the primary instruments used by students worldwide in all facets of their working and learning activities. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the use of electronic devices, the characteristics of learning properties, and the potential predictors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among Thai undergraduate students. In this cross-sectional study, data were collected using Microsoft Forms with an online self-administered scale. The research instrument comprised four categories: demographic and health history characteristics, online learning properties, psychological health, and perceived WMSDs. Using multistage sampling, 4,618 samples were collected from 18 schools nationwide. A total of 3,705 respondents were eligible for the analysis. Descriptive statistics, chi-square, and binary logistic regression analyses were used for the data analysis. The results showed that the majority of the respondents had online learning only in some semesters/subjects (67.3%), used mobile phones for learning (43.3%), had an appropriate desk workstation (66.1%), used non-office chairs (76.0%), spent prolonged periods sitting (91.6%), had a bent posture while sitting (78.2%), had a private working space/room (92.4%), had proper lighting (85.4%), and experienced normal levels of stress (81.1%). Overall, 42.1% of Thai university students experienced WMSDs in any area of the body in the prior 6 months. Six significant predictors (p = 0.05) of WMSDs were obtained from the multivariate analysis, including stress, use of electronic devices, bent posture, prolonged sitting, year of study, and online learning classes (The adjusted odds ratio ranged from 1.43 to 3.67). High-risk students who mostly used mobile learning devices should be prescribed interventions to reduce stress, develop postural awareness and skills, emphasize positioning solutions, and reduce extended sitting time. The results indicated that preventive measures are warranted and required because the risk predictors were identified as preventable.

The Primary Health Care Services in a Philippine Province

The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of primary health care (PHC) in selected municipalities in Batangas, focusing on various health programs. It involved 384 respondents from different municipalities. The questionnaire was the primary data collection instrument, validated by experts and based on national health programs provided by the Department of Health. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents were females aged 40 to 50, with a high school education, and primarily from Barangay Buli, Taal, Batangas. The effectiveness of PHC services varied across different health programs. Programs like maternal and child health, Expanded Program on Immunization, tuberculosis control, and dental health were considered effective. However, diarrheal disease and STD/AIDS prevention programs were rated less effective. Significant differences were observed when assessing the effectiveness of PHC services based on respondent profiles. Respondents aged 51 and above had a more positive view of PHC effectiveness, except for the Diarrheal Disease program. Females generally perceived PHC services as more effective than males, except for specific programs. Educational attainment also influenced the perceptions of effectiveness. Recommendations included requesting increased budget allocation, building facilities, and using social media for awareness campaigns to improve PHC services.The proposed action plan was suggested for future implementation and evaluation. Future research should explore the delivery of PHC services using different variables, specifically focusing on service delivery in PHC.Keywords: Primary health care; Health programs; Effectiveness; Survey method
