Heart Rate Variability as a Possible Predictive Marker for Acute Inflammatory Response in COVID-19 Patients.

Introduction: Increases in C-reactive protein (CRP) are used to track the inflammatory process of COVID-19 and are associated with disease state progression. Decreases in heart rate variability (HRV) correlate with worsening of disease states. This observational study tracks changes in HRV relative to changes in CRP in COVID-19 patients.

A Literature Review of Pharmacological Agents to Improve Venous Leg Ulcer Healing.

Compression therapy is the gold standard treatment for venous leg ulcers (VLUs); however, with adjunctive pharmacological therapies and poor patient adherence using compressive dressings, clinicians are looking to find the advantage in treating VLUs. This literature review focuses on the efficacy of pharmacological agents, quality of life using agents in addition to compression therapy, and cost effectiveness to indicate the best outcomes for pharmacological treatment of VLUs. The following available venotonic, hemorheologic, and fibrinolytic agents were reviewed for oral management in treating VLUs: pentoxifylline, flavonoids (diosmin, hidrosmin, rutosides, and micronized purified flavonoid fraction, Vasculera), Red-Vine-Leaf-Extract AS 195, Ruscus, Ginkgo biloba, Centella asiatica, Pycnogenol (French maritime pine bark), escin/horse chestnut extract, nutritional supplements (ie, zinc and magnesium, glycosaminoglycans [sulodexide], mesoglycans), Axaven, cilostazol, fibrinolytic enhancers (stanozolol and defibrotide), calcium dobesilate, aspirin, antibiotics (antimicrobials, doxycycline, levamisole), diuretics, cinnarizine, naftazone, and benzarone.

Adverse Childhood Experiences Among Sexual Offenders: Associations With Sexual Recidivism Risk and Psychopathology.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are increasingly recognized as a public health crisis. Cumulative effects of these experiences lead to a wide range of deleterious physical and psychological outcomes. Prior research has identified higher prevalence rates of ACEs and increased criminal behavior in samples of individuals who have committed sexual offenses.

QueerVIEW: Protocol for a Technology-Mediated Qualitative Photo Elicitation Study With Sexual and Gender Minority Youth in Ontario, Canada.

Background: The experiences of resilience and intersectionality in the lives of contemporary sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) are important to explore. SGMY face unique experiences of discrimination in both online and offline environments, yet simultaneously build community and seek support in innovative ways. SGMY who identify as transgender, trans, or gender nonconforming and have experiences with child welfare, homelessness, or immigration have been particularly understudied.

Scientific societies fostering inclusivity through speaker diversity in annual meeting programming: a call to action.

Scientific societies aiming to foster inclusion of scientists from underrepresented (UR) backgrounds among their membership often delegate primary responsibility for this goal to a diversity-focused committee. The National Science Foundation has funded the creation of the Alliance to Catalyze Change for Equity in STEM Success (ACCESS), a meta-organization bringing together representatives from several such STEM society committees to serve as a hub for a growing community of practice. Our goal is to coordinate efforts to advance inclusive practices by sharing experiences and making synergistic discoveries about what works.

Do Views on Sex Offending Vary by Nationality? A Comparative Analysis of Community Sentiment Toward Sex Offense Legislation in the United States and United Kingdom.

Much attention has been paid to the examination of community sentiment regarding convicted sex offenders and the policy that governs these offenders' behavior. This literature, however, has largely been absent of international comparisons of sex offender community sentiment. The current study seeks to fill this gap by drawing from the results of surveys ( = 333) conducted in both the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK).

Proposed Mechanism of Action of Topically Applied Autologous Blood Clot Tissue.

Background: Chronic wounds, especially in patients with diabetes, often represent clinical challenges. Recently, the use of a topically applied blood clot has garnered significant interest. This stromal matrix contains viable cells that are autologous, biocompatible, biological, and consistent with a metabolically active scaffold.

Solar Axions Cannot Explain the XENON1T Excess.

We argue that the interpretation in terms of solar axions of the recent XENON1T excess is not tenable when confronted with astrophysical observations of stellar evolution. We discuss the reasons why the emission of a flux of solar axions sufficiently intense to explain the anomalous data would radically alter the distribution of certain type of stars in the color-magnitude diagram in the first place and would also clash with a certain number of other astrophysical observables. Quantitatively, the significance of the discrepancy ranges from 3.

Use of a dual-layer amniotic membrane in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers: an observational study.

Background: Despite advances in the treatment, fewer than half of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) heal in 12 weeks and 85% of non-traumatic amputations follow the development of a DFU. The search for treatment options continues. Placental-derived products have shown promise in the treatment of DFUs.

Life on "the List" is a Life Lived in Fear: Post-Conviction Traumatic Stress in Men Convicted of Sexual Offenses.

In recent years, there has been a rapid expansion of increasingly restrictive laws managing the post release behavior and movement of individuals convicted of sexual offenses. In the US, this legislation has led to many barriers for people returning to their community as "registered sex offenders." We consider the often ignored but undeniable traumagenic impact of life on "the list" and conceptualize this experience as .

Effects of High-Intensity Interval Exercise and Acute Partial Sleep Deprivation on Cardiac Autonomic Modulation.

Sleep deprivation in healthy adults has been associated with disrupted autonomic nervous system function, which in turn has been linked to cardiovascular health. High-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) may affect both sleep and cardiac autonomic modulation. : To investigate the impact of acute partial sleep deprivation on autonomic cardiac regulation before and after an acute bout of HIIE and the length of time for the autonomic system to return to resting levels.

Acute partial sleep deprivation and high-intensity interval exercise effects on postprandial endothelial function.

Purpose: Acute-total and chronic-partial sleep deprivation increase the risks for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiovascular function assessed by flow mediated dilation (FMD) is reduced after sleep deprivation. High-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) improves postprandial FMD.

Use of Computer-Assisted Instrument Guidance Technology by Student Registered Nurse Anesthetists for Simulated Invasive Procedures.

This study was conducted to determine if computer-assisted instrument guidance (CAIG, Clear Guide Medical), with an optical tracking mechanism, enhances simulated transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block performance in a porcine model by novice student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) compared with standalone ultrasonography (US). In a crossover design, 26 students were randomly assigned into 2 groups: US only and CAIG. Performance was assessed using a task-specific checklist survey tool and a global rating scale to assess performance.
