Comparative effectiveness of interventions for the prevention and treatment of perinatal depression: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Several interventions have been investigated addressing perinatal depression; however, interventions have not been compared using both direct and indirect evidence. This study compared the relative effectiveness of all interventions that prevent depression (objective 1) or treat depression symptoms (objective 2) in perinatal women.

Methods: Eight databases searched from their inception to March 2024.

Combined Integrative RNA-Seq and Serological sIgE Analysis Enhances Understanding of Fish Allergen Profiles and Diagnostic Strategy for Fish Allergy.

Fish allergy is a significant health concern, with diagnosis and management complicated by diverse fish species and allergens. We conducted a comprehensive RNA-seq analysis of eight fish species to identify allergen profiles, integrating ImmunoCAP sIgE data to explore associations with allergen expression and diagnostic performance. Over 30 putative fish allergens were identified, with varying sequence similarities and expression levels, roughly classifying fish into two groups based on parvalbumin (PV) expression.

Implementing a Nurse-Driven Pregnancy Screening Protocol in the Radiation Oncology Setting.

Verification of pregnancy status prior to initiating radiation treatment for cancer is important to preserve patient and fetal safety. However, many institutions lack clear guidelines for pregnancy screening prior to treatmen.

Assessing the ecotoxicological effects of novel cellulose nanocrystalline glitter compared to conventional polyethylene terephthalate glitter: Toxicity to springtails (Folsomia candida).

Glitter is a type of microplastic, and thus there is a need to assess its potential impacts on the environment and to assess the potential for non-plastic cellulose nanocrystal structurally colored glitters as safe and sustainable replacements. The ecotoxicity of glitter has been mostly ignored in the research literature, with only a few published studies focusing on aquatic organisms. Therefore, an exposure experiment was conducted to examine the impact of conventional polyethylene terephthalate (PET) glitter as well as untreated and heat-treated cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) based glitter on the survival, reproduction, and length of Folsomia candida (springtail).

ACSL4 mediates inflammatory bowel disease and contributes to LPS-induced intestinal epithelial cell dysfunction by activating ferroptosis and inflammation.

Background: The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is closely associated with the dysfunction of the intestinal epithelial barrier, leading to increased bacterial translocation, leukocyte infiltration, and mucosal injury, which may act as a pivotal or incipient event in the pathophysiology of the disorder. The primary objective of this study is to examine the key genes implicated in IBD and the perturbation of intestinal epithelial cell function.

Methods: The genes associated with ferroptosis were identified through the utilization of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and the GeneCard database.
