This study aimed to analyse the association between neighbourhood socioeconomic status (SES) and mental health outcomes in urban parents in the first years after birth.

Applicability of Retrospective and Prospective Gender Scores for Clinical and Health Data: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

Background: Gender is known to have a strong influence on human health and disease. Despite its relevance to treatment and outcome, gender is insufficiently considered in current health research. One hindering factor is the poor representation of gender information in clinical and health (meta) data.

Frequency, demographics, diagnoses and consultation patterns associated with low-acuity attendances in German emergency departments: a retrospective routine healthcare data analysis from the INDEED project.

Objective: Evidence suggests interventions targeting low-acuity attendances have been hampered by insufficient characterisation of potential target groups. This study aimed to estimate the frequency of low-acuity emergency department (ED) attendances and to provide an overview of their demographic, diagnosis and consultation patterns.

Calibrating workers' trust in intelligent automated systems.

With the exponential rise in the prevalence of automation, trust in such technology has become more critical than ever before. Trust is confidence in a particular entity, especially in regard to the consequences they can have for the trustor, and calibrated trust is the extent to which the judgments of trust are accurate. The focus of this paper is to reevaluate the general understanding of calibrating trust in automation, update this understanding, and apply it to worker's trust in automation in the workplace.

CHARACTERIZING PHYSICAL STRAIN IN NON-ROUTINIZED CLINICAL WORK THROUGH OBSERVATION: AN EXAMPLE OF ORAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS.

The Revised Strain Index (RSI), despite its prevalence in ergonomics field practice, is designed to assess jobs with cyclic and predictable physical and behavioral patterns. The quantification of exertion force, posture, and work task duration is substantially more challenging for non-routinized work in clinical and hospital environments. Using dental hygiene work as an exemplar, we proposed a consolidated method to characterize physical exertion for non-routinized work.

A New Perspective on Stress Detection: An Automated Approach for Detecting Eustress and Distress.

Previous studies have solely focused on establishing Machine Learning (ML) models for automated detection of stress arousal. However, these studies do not recognize stress appraisal and presume stress is a negative mental state. Yet, stress can be classified according to its influence on individuals; the way people perceive a stressor determines whether the stress reaction is considered as eustress (positive stress) or distress (negative stress).

Challenges and Opportunities to Work and Industry Practice in Occupational Therapy: A Practitioner Survey.

Importance: Work and industry (W&I) is a vital yet underrepresented area of occupational therapy practice. Describing the current practice trends, challenges, and opportunities in W&I provides a foundation for future development and advancements.

Objective: To describe the state of W&I occupational therapy practice and to identify challenges and opportunities in this specialty practice area.

Challenges and Opportunities to Work and Industry Practice in Occupational Therapy: A Practitioner Survey.

Importance: Work and industry (W&I) is a vital yet underrepresented area of occupational therapy practice. Describing the current practice trends, challenges, and opportunities in W&I provides a foundation for future development and advancements.

Objective: To describe the state of W&I occupational therapy practice and to identify challenges and opportunities in this specialty practice area.

Active Visual Art Therapy and Health Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Importance: Art therapy has a long-standing tradition in patient treatment. As scientific interest in its use has recently grown, a comprehensive assessment of active visual art therapy is crucial to understanding its potential benefits.

Objective: To assess the association of active visual art therapy with health outcomes across patient groups and comparators.

Assessment of Psychosocial Stress and Mental Health Disorders in Parents and Their Children in Early Childhood: Cross-Sectional Results from the SKKIPPI Cohort Study.

Background/objectives: Early childhood can be a stressful period for families with a significant impact on parents' mental health, the child's healthy development, and the development of a secure mother-child attachment. The goal of the cross-sectional study part of SKKIPPI was to assess the occurrence of psychosocial stress and mental health disorders in parents as well as in their offspring in early childhood in three German regions.

Methods: Based on random samples from three residents' registration offices, parents with infants aged up to 12 months were invited to participate.

A comprehensive investigation of comorbidities of prolonged grief disorder in a bereaved inpatient psychiatric sample.

Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) was recently added to ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR. Depression and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are frequent comorbidities, but findings regarding comorbid somatoform disorder and personality disorders remain mixed and studies with severely impaired patients are scarce. It was therefore the objective of the present study to examine comorbidities of PGD in a bereaved inpatient psychiatric sample.

Lichtenstein technique for inguinal hernia repair: ten recommendations to optimize surgical outcomes.

Purpose: Approximately 20 million individuals worldwide undergo inguinal hernia surgery annually. The Lichtenstein technique is the most commonly used surgical procedure in this setting. The objective of this study was to revisit this technique and present ten recommendations based on the best practices.

Cord lipoma in minimally invasive surgical repairs of inguinal hernias: a prospective study.

Cord lipomas are frequent findings in laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgeries in male patients. The symptoms of lipoma and the potential benefits of removing them are often overlooked because the focus is on the primary pathology of the hernia itself. Current recommendations are to reduce this fatty content, when present.

Improving Maternal Health and Birth Outcomes Through FreshRx: A Food-Is-Medicine Intervention.

Purpose: Food insecurity has far-reaching consequences for health and well-being, especially during pregnancy and postpartum periods. This study examines a food-is-medicine approach that aimed to reduce food insecurity, maternal stress, depression, anxiety, preterm labor, and low birthweight.

Design: Pre-post interventional study of FreshRx: Nourishing Healthy Starts, a pregnancy focused food-is-medicine program led by a local hunger relief organization and obstetrics department.

Tolerance induction through early feeding to prevent food allergy in infants and children with sensitization against food allergens (TIFFANI): rationale, study design, and methods of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Children with sensitization against foods have to be orally food-challenged before eating these foods for the first time. However, the waiting time for an oral food challenge (OFC) in Germany is about 3-6 months. In contrast, there are hints that an early introduction of allergenic foods might be protective regarding the development of food allergy.
