Resilient, but for how long? The relationships between temperament, burnout, and mental health in healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Introduction: Dispositional traits of wellbeing and stress-reaction are strong predictors of mood symptoms following stressful life events, and the COVID-19 pandemic introduced many life stressors, especially for healthcare workers.

Methods: We longitudinally investigated the relationships among positive and negative temperament group status (created according to wellbeing and stress-reaction personality measures), burnout (exhaustion, interpersonal disengagement), COVID concern (e.g.

Quality of life and persisting symptoms in intensive care unit survivors: implications for care after discharge.

Background: We assessed the quality of life of ICU survivors using SF-36 at 4 months after ICU discharge and investigated any correlation of PCS and MCS with age, illness severity and hospital or ICU length of stay. We examined the relationship between these variables, persisting physical and psychological symptoms and the perceived benefit of individual patients of follow-up.

Findings: For one year, adult patients admitted for multiple organ or advanced respiratory support for greater than 48 hours to a 16-bedded teaching hospital general intensive care unit were identified.

Differential expression of two beta-galactoside-binding lectins in the reproductive tracts of pregnant mice.

Two beta-galactoside-binding proteins were isolated from uteroplacental complexes of pregnant mice and identified as the S-Lac lectins galectin-1 and galectin-3. The spatiotemporal pattern of appearance of those proteins was determined by immunocytochemistry. Galectin-1 was present in all tissue compartments of the uterus except the luminal and glandular epithelium.

Alterations in growth rate associated with a normally persisting circadian rhythm during spaceflight.

Background: Biological clocks time many physiological parameters with periodicities close to 24 h; those which persist in the absence of environmental cues are circadian. An earlier shuttle experiment (STS-9) examined circadian pacemaker function and growth rate of Neurospora crassa and demonstrated damped rhythm amplitudes, increased variability in period lengths and altered growth rates.

Hypothesis: Postflight studies suggested that accelerative forces of launch could have induced rhythm alterations.
