Recruiting Young People for Digital Mental Health Research: Lessons From an AI-Driven Adaptive Trial.

Background: With increasing adoption of remote clinical trials in digital mental health, identifying cost-effective and time-efficient recruitment methodologies is crucial for the success of such trials. Evidence on whether web-based recruitment methods are more effective than traditional methods such as newspapers, media, or flyers is inconsistent. Here we present insights from our experience recruiting tertiary education students for a digital mental health artificial intelligence-driven adaptive trial-Vibe Up.

Review of mayflies (Insecta Ephemeroptera) as a bioindicator of heavy metals and microplastics in freshwater.

Heavy metal and microplastic pollutions are prevalent in freshwater ecosystems, with many freshwater bodies being contaminated by one or both of these pollutants. Recent studies reported extreme detections of Cd, Pb and Zn, high concentrations of Cr, Pb and Cu and microplastics acting as vectors of pollutants, including heavy metals. Mayflies can serve as bioindicators of heavy metal contamination in freshwater ecosystems because changes in their community structure, physiology, and behaviour can reflect and help predict the concentrations of metals in these environments.

Effect of ethanol extract on zebrafish larvae ( ) insomnia model through inhibition of Orexin, ERK, Akt and p38.

Insomnia is difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep for at least three nights a week or more and lasting for at least 3 months. One of the molecules that play a role in the circadian rhythm of arousal system is Orexin activates the p38-MAPK signaling pathway and increases phosphorylated ERK1/2 levels. (CA) has a role in the signal work of the MAPK/ERK, Akt, and p38 path in many various diseases.

Antimicrobial resistance patterns and genes of isolated from chickens in Pasuruan, Indonesia.

Background: Poultry is one of the most prominent sources of , which is also a major means of transmission to people. contamination in chicken meat comes from chicken feces because it naturally exists in the intestines of chickens.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to identify the antibiotic resistance patterns and genes of , which was found in chickens in Pasuruan, Indonesia.

The Impact of Tumor Hypoxia Modulation on sIL-2R Levels in Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: Tumor hypoxia induces the production of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor (HIF)-1 alpha, which interacts with NF-kB, leading to cancer proliferation and metastasis. This study investigated the effect of tumor hypoxia modulation using carbogen (95% O2 and 5% CO2) and nicotinamide on reducing soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels in newly diagnosed DLBCL patients with tissue overexpression of HIF-1α ≥10%.

Material And Methods: A prospective randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted at Dr.

Effect of probiotics and acidifiers on feed intake, egg mass, production performance, and egg yolk chemical composition in late-laying quails.

Background And Aim: Probiotics can be used as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters because antibiotics are prohibited worldwide. This study investigated the potential combination of probiotics and acidifiers to improve feed intake, productive performance, egg mass, and egg yolk chemical composition of late-laying quail for the health of humans who consume quail products.
