Patterns of Service Provision in Older People's Mental Health Care in Australia.

Australia has a population of around 4 million people aged 65 years and over, many of whom are at risk of developing cognitive decline, mental illness, and/or psychological problems associated with physical illnesses. The aim of this study was to describe the pattern of specialised mental healthcare provision (availability, placement capacity, balance of care and diversity) for this age group in urban and rural health districts in Australia. The Description and Evaluation of Services and DirectoriEs for Long Term Care (DESDE-LTC) tool was used in nine urban and two rural health districts of the thirty-one Primary Health Networks across Australia.

Metal Coordination Guided Formation of Discrete Neutral Three-Component Hydrogen-Bonded Architectures.

Interesting molecular architectures were obtained by combining heterodimeric quadruple hydrogen-bonding and neutral metal corner braces. The selection of cyclic and noncyclic aggregates from a random mixture of two-component assemblies has been achieved through metal coordination and careful adjustment of monomer rigidity and dimensions.

Objectives: To determine the incidence of refeeding syndrome in otherwise healthy children <3 years of age admitted for failure to thrive (FTT).

Methods: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed on patients aged ≤36 months admitted with a primary diagnosis of FTT from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2016. The primary outcome measure was the percentage of patients with laboratory evidence of refeeding syndrome.

Evaluation of the energy generation potential by an experimental characterization of residual biomass blends from Córdoba, Colombia in a downdraft gasifier.

An experimental characterization of crop residue biomass blends to evaluate their energy potential was conducted using an experimental approach in a commercial scale downdraft gasifier. Corncobs, rice husks, sesame stalks and cotton gin refuse were used to study the effect of mixture proportions on equivalence ratio, gasification temperature, syngas lower heating value (LHV), and cold gas efficiency (CGE). Using an experimental mixture design, thirty-two sample blends were evaluated in an Ankur WBG-30 downdraft gasifier with 30 kg/h feed supply coupled with a syngas purification system, temperature sensors and a gas chromatograph.

Interferons and viruses induce a novel truncated ACE2 isoform and not the full-length SARS-CoV-2 receptor.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19, utilizes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) for entry into target cells. ACE2 has been proposed as an interferon-stimulated gene (ISG). Thus, interferon-induced variability in ACE2 expression levels could be important for susceptibility to COVID-19 or its outcomes.

The most predominant species in the toxicological field are covered in a 30-min chromatogram with reproducible and repeatability peak area ratio.

On the occurrence of Parasesarma cricotum (Rahayu amp; Davie, 2002 (Decapoda, Brachyura, Sesarmidae) in Palau and Sulawesi.

The occurrence of Parasesarma cricotum (Rahayu Davie, 2002) in Palau and Sulawesi is reported after the examination of several male and female specimens collected from Sulawesi, Indonesia, and Palau. The present record from Palau, has extended the distribution of P. cricotum considerably further northeast of its natural distribution range.

On the two 'forms' of Dotilla intermedia De Man, 1888 (Crustacea: Brachyura: Dotillidae) from the Bay of Bengal, India, with description of a new species.

Two distinct morphotypes of sand bubbler crab (Dotillidae) from eastern India were assigned to Dotilla intermedia De Man, 1888, by British carcinologist, Stanley Kemp in 1919, due to similarities in the areolation of the carapace and the occurrence of these two forms in the same locality. Kemp, however, also illustrated the differences in the morphology of the male thoracic sternums, chelae, and first gonopods and, accordingly, divided D. intermedia into two subcategories which he called the "high form" and the "low form".

Feasibility of a behavioral intervention using mobile health applications to reduce cardiovascular risk factors in cancer survivors: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: Determine the feasibility of a remotely delivered mobile health (mHealth)-supported intervention to improve diet and physical activity in hematologic malignancy survivors.

Methods: Pilot randomized controlled trial of a 16-week intervention for improving diet and physical activity: individualized goal-setting (daily steps, sodium, saturated fat, added sugar intake) per feedback from mHealth trackers (Fitbit for activity; Healthwatch360 for diet), supplemented by a Facebook peer support group. Controls accessed the trackers without goal-setting or peer support.

Connecting communities to primary care: a qualitative study on the roles, motivations and lived experiences of community health workers in the Philippines.

Background: Community health workers (CHWs) are an important cadre of the primary health care (PHC) workforce in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Philippines was an early adopter of the CHW model for the delivery of PHC, launching the Barangay (village) Health Worker (BHW) programme in the early 1980s, yet little is known about the factors that motivate and sustain BHWs' largely voluntary involvement. This study aims to address this gap by examining the lived experiences and roles of BHWs in urban and rural sites in the Philippines.

Socioeconomic position is associated with glycemic control in youth and young adults with type 1 diabetes.

Objective: Health inequities persist in youth and young adults (YYA) with type 1diabetes in achieving optimal glycemic control. The purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of multiple indicators of social need to these inequities.

Research Design And Methods: Two hundred and twenty two YYA withtype 1 diabetes enrolled in the SEARCH Food Insecurity Study in South Carolina and Washington between the years 2013 and 2015 were included.

Rapid response to crisis: Health system lessons from the active period of COVID-19.

Interferons and viruses induce a novel primate-specific isoform dACE2 and not the SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19, utilizes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) for entry into target cells. has been proposed as an interferon-stimulated gene (ISG). Thus, interferon-induced variability in expression levels could be important for susceptibility to COVID-19 or its outcomes.

The problem of measurement bias in comparing selected subgroups.

Estimates of subgroup differences are routinely used as part of a comprehensive validation system, and these estimates serve a critical role, including evaluating adverse impact. Unfortunately, under direct range restriction, a selected mean ( ) is a biased estimator of the population mean as well as the selected true score mean . This is due partly to measurement bias.

Interrogating the recognition landscape of a conserved HIV-specific TCR reveals distinct bacterial peptide cross-reactivity.

T cell cross-reactivity ensures that diverse pathogen-derived epitopes encountered during a lifetime are recognized by the available TCR repertoire. A feature of cross-reactivity where previous exposure to one microbe can alter immunity to subsequent, non-related pathogens has been mainly explored for viruses. Yet cross-reactivity to additional microbes is important to consider, especially in HIV infection where gut-intestinal barrier dysfunction could facilitate T cell exposure to commensal/pathogenic microbes.

Metabolic Effects of Light at Night are Time- and Wavelength-Dependent in Rats.

Objective: Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells are most sensitive to short wavelengths and reach brain regions that modulate biological rhythms and energy metabolism. The increased exposure nowadays to artificial light at night (ALAN), especially short wavelengths, perturbs our synchronization with the 24-hour solar cycle. Here, the time- and wavelength dependence of the metabolic effects of ALAN are investigated.
