The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society Guideline on Indications for Continuous Electroencephalography Monitoring in Neonates.

Purpose: Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring is increasingly used in the management of neonates with seizures. There remains debate on what clinically relevant information can be gained from cEEG in neonates with suspected seizures, at high risk for seizures, or with definite seizures, as well as the use of cEEG for prognosis in a variety of conditions. In this guideline, we address these questions using American Clinical Neurophysiology Society structured methodology for clinical guideline development.

Measuring factors associated with telehealth use by people who use mental health services: A psychometric analysis of a theoretical domains framework questionnaire.

Introduction: Telehealth has the potential to improve access to mental health care, especially for people living in rural and remote regions. Yet, telehealth accessibility remains a challenge in Australia, and there is a scarcity of appropriate, psychometrically sound tools for evaluating telehealth use by mental health service users. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate a scale for measuring factors associated with mental healthcare telehealth use.

Dimensions of wisdom perception across twelve countries on five continents.

Wisdom is the hallmark of social judgment, but how people across cultures recognize wisdom remains unclear-distinct philosophical traditions suggest different views of wisdom's cardinal features. We explore perception of wise minds across 16 socio-economically and culturally diverse convenience samples from 12 countries. Participants assessed wisdom exemplars, non-exemplars, and themselves on 19 socio-cognitive characteristics, subsequently rating targets' wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

Benchmarking for healthy food stores: protocol for a randomised controlled trial with remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia to enhance adoption of health-enabling store policy and practice.

Background: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in remote Australia have initiated bold policies for health-enabling stores. Benchmarking, a data-driven and facilitated 'audit and feedback' with action planning process, provides a potential strategy to strengthen and scale health-enabling best-practice adoption by remote community store directors/owners. We aim to co-design a benchmarking model with five partner organisations and test its effectiveness with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community stores in remote Australia.

Back to the Basics of SARS-CoV-2 Biochemistry: Microvascular Occlusive Glycan Bindings Govern Its Morbidities and Inform Therapeutic Responses.

Consistent with the biochemistry of coronaviruses as well established over decades, SARS-CoV-2 makes its initial attachment to host cells through the binding of its spike protein (SP) to sialylated glycans (containing the monosaccharide sialic acid) on the cell surface. The virus can then slide over and enter via ACE2. SARS-CoV-2 SP attaches particularly tightly to the trillions of red blood cells (RBCs), platelets and endothelial cells in the human body, each cell very densely coated with sialic acid surface molecules but having no ACE2 or minimal ACE2.

Blood immunophenotyping identifies distinct kidney histopathology and outcomes in patients with lupus nephritis.

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a frequent manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus, and fewer than half of patients achieve complete renal response with standard immunosuppressants. Identifying non-invasive, blood-based pathologic immune alterations associated with renal injury could aid therapeutic decisions. Here, we used mass cytometry immunophenotyping of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 145 patients with biopsy-proven LN and 40 healthy controls to evaluate the heterogeneity of immune activation in patients with LN and to identify correlates of renal parameters and treatment response.

Urine proteomic signatures of histological class, activity, chronicity, and treatment response in lupus nephritis.

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a pathologically heterogenous autoimmune disease linked to end-stage kidney disease and mortality. Better therapeutic strategies are needed as only 30%-40% of patients completely respond to treatment. Noninvasive biomarkers of intrarenal inflammation may guide more precise approaches.

Increasing chronic disease preventive care in community mental health services: clinician-generated strategies.

Background: People with a mental health condition experience a high prevalence of chronic disease risk behaviours e.g., tobacco smoking and physical inactivity.

Evaluation of an implementation support package to increase community mental health clinicians' routine delivery of preventive care for multiple health behaviours: a non-randomised controlled trial.

Background: People with a mental health condition are more likely to engage in risk behaviours compared to people without. Delivery of preventive care to improve such behaviours is recommended for community mental health services, but inadequately implemented. This study assessed the effectiveness of an implementation support package on clinicians' delivery of preventive care (assessment, advice, referral) for four risk behaviours (tobacco smoking, harmful alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, inadequate fruit and vegetable intake) compared to no implementation support.

Prospective Evaluation of High Titer Autoantibodies and Fetal Home Monitoring in the Detection of Atrioventricular Block Among Anti-SSA/Ro Pregnancies.

Objective: This prospective study of pregnant patients, Surveillance To Prevent AV Block Likely to Occur Quickly (STOP BLOQ), addresses the impact of anti-SSA/Ro titers and utility of ambulatory monitoring in the detection of fetal second-degree atrioventricular block (AVB).

Methods: Women with anti-SSA/Ro autoantibodies by commercial testing were stratified into high and low anti-52-kD and/or 60-kD SSA/Ro titers applying at-risk thresholds defined by previous evaluation of AVB pregnancies. The high-titer group performed fetal heart rate and rhythm monitoring (FHRM) thrice daily and weekly/biweekly echocardiography from 17-26 weeks.

Contribution of S100A4-expressing fibroblasts to anti-SSA/Ro-associated atrioventricular nodal calcification and soluble S100A4 as a biomarker of clinical severity.

Background: Fibrosis and dystrophic calcification disrupting conduction tissue architecture are histopathological lesions characterizing cardiac manifestations of neonatal lupus (cardiac-NL) associated with maternal anti-SSA/Ro antibodies.

Objectives: Increased appreciation of heterogeneity in fibroblasts encourages re-examination of existing models with the consideration of multiple fibroblast subtypes (and their unique functional differences) in mind. This study addressed fibroblast heterogeneity by examining expression of α-Smooth Muscle Actin (myofibroblasts) and of S100 Calcium-Binding Protein A4 (S100A4).

Modeling of clinical phenotypes in systemic lupus erythematosus based on the platelet transcriptome and FCGR2a genotype.

Background: The clinical heterogeneity of SLE with its complex pathogenesis remains challenging as we strive to provide optimal management. The contribution of platelets to endovascular homeostasis, inflammation and immune regulation highlights their potential importance in SLE. Prior work from our group showed that the Fcγ receptor type IIa (FcγRIIa)-R/H131 biallelic polymorphism is associated with increased platelet activity and cardiovascular risk in SLE.

Global Vertical Distribution of Water Vapor on Mars: Results From 3.5 Years of ExoMars-TGO/NOMAD Science Operations.

We present water vapor vertical distributions on Mars retrieved from 3.5 years of solar occultation measurements by Nadir and Occultation for Mars Discovery onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, which reveal a strong contrast between aphelion and perihelion water climates. In equinox periods, most of water vapor is confined into the low-middle latitudes.

Platelet LGALS3BP as a Mediator of Myeloid Inflammation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Objective: Platelets are mediators of inflammation with immune effector cell properties and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study investigated the role of platelet-associated lectin, galactoside-binding, soluble 3 binding protein (LGALS3BP) as a mediator of inflammation in SLE and as a potential biomarker associated with clinical phenotypes.

Methods: We performed RNA sequencing on platelets from patients with SLE (n = 54) and on platelets from age-, sex-, and race/ethnicity-matched healthy controls (n = 18) and measured LGALS3BP levels in platelet releasate and in circulating serum.

variant-expressing endothelial cells exhibit autophagic dysfunction and mitochondrial stress.

Polymorphisms in the Apolipoprotein L1 () gene are common in ancestrally African populations, and associate with kidney injury and cardiovascular disease. These risk variants (RV) provide an advantage in resisting , the causal agent of African trypanosomiasis, and are largely absent from non-African genomes. Clinical associations between the high risk genotype (HRG) and disease are stronger in those with comorbid infectious or immune disease.

Gut dysbiosis and the clinical spectrum in anti-Ro positive mothers of children with neonatal lupus.

Anti-SSA/Ro antibodies, while strongly linked to fetal cardiac injury and neonatal rash, can associate with a spectrum of disease in the mother, ranging from completely asymptomatic to overt Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Sjögren's Syndrome (SS). This study was initiated to test the hypothesis that the microbiome, influenced in part by genetics, contributes to disease state. The stool microbiome of healthy controls (HC) was compared to that of anti-SSA/Ro positive women whose children had neonatal lupus.

Reducing the burden of surveillance in pregnant women with no history of fetal atrioventricular block using the negative predictive value of anti-Ro/SSA antibody titers.

Background: The risk of fetal atrioventricular block in anti-Ro/SSA antibody-exposed pregnancies with no previous affected offspring is approximately 2%. A high antibody titer is necessary but not sufficient for atrioventricular block, and specific antibody titers do not predict risk. However, there are no data on the negative predictive value of antibody titer to identify pregnancies at low risk of fetal atrioventricular block, and may not require surveillance.

Latin American Agricultural Workers' Job Demands and Resources and the Association With Health Behaviors at Work and Overall Health.

In the present study, we describe the job demands and job resources (JD-R) experienced by agricultural workers in three Latin American countries and their relationship to proactive health behaviors at work and overall health. Following previous research on the JD-R model, we hypothesized that job demands (H1) would be negatively related to agricultural workers' self-reported overall health. On the other hand, we hypothesized that job resources (H2) would be positively related to agricultural workers' overall health.
