Strengths-Based Factors Related to Post-Traumatic Stress Problems in Black Youth with High Body Weights.

Objective: Black youth with high body weights [BYHW; Body Mass Index (BMI)≥95th percentile] endure unique stressors (e.g., exposure to discrimination due to race and size) that may contribute to psychopathology.

Limited reproductive interference despite high rates of heterospecific pollen transfer among co-occurring bat-pollinated Burmeistera.

Premise: Many tropical plants are bat-pollinated, but these mammals often carry copious, multispecific pollen loads making bat-pollinated plants susceptible to heterospecific pollen deposition and reproductive interference. We investigated pollen transfer between sympatric bat-pollinated Burmeistera species and their response to heterospecific pollen deposition from each other.

Methods: We quantified conspecific and heterospecific pollen deposition for two populations of B.

Comprehensive Model of Information Seeking: A Meta-Analysis.

The comprehensive model of information seeking (CMIS) is a well-known framework to predict health information seeking by a combination of health beliefs and medium-related factors. Despite being proposed almost three decades ago, few efforts have been made to systematically summarize CMIS scholarship. To fill this gap in the literature, 36 meta-analyses were first conducted to identify the bivariate relationships between variables in the CMIS.

Posttraumatic stress symptoms, posttraumatic growth, and personality factors: A network analysis.

Background: After experiencing a traumatic event, two possible outcomes are experiencing positive changes, such as posttraumatic growth (PTG), and/or experiencing distress in the form of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). These constructs are not mutually exclusive; those who experience PTSS may concurrently or at a later date likewise undergo PTG. Pretrauma factors, such as personality as measured by the Big Five Inventory (BFI), can interact with both PTSS and PTG.

Internet-Delivered Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills Training for Chronic Pain: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Emotion dysregulation is key to the development and maintenance of chronic pain, feeding into a cycle of worsening pain and disability. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), an evidence-based treatment for complex transdiagnostic conditions presenting with high emotion dysregulation, may be beneficial to manage and mitigate the emotional and sensory aspects of chronic pain. Increasingly, DBT skills training as a key component of standard DBT is being delivered as a stand-alone intervention without concurrent therapy to help develop skills for effective emotion regulation.

Protocol for a randomized controlled trial in Cambodian individuals with PTSD: Trauma-Informed Treatment Algorithms for Advancing Novel Outcomes (Project TITAN).

Introduction: Low- and middle-income countries shoulder a disproportionate burden of mental health disorders with limited resources to support the provision of care using culturally relevant, evidence-based interventions. This is particularly true in Cambodia where the population continues to confront traumatic consequences of the Khmer Rouge genocide that targeted educated people, including treatment providers. Trauma-Informed Treatment Algorithms for Advancing Novel Outcomes (Project TITAN) will examine proof of concept and preliminary efficacy of culturally tailored interventions for symptoms of post-traumatic stress (PTS) among Cambodian adults.

Attitudes Toward Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Among Pregnant and Postpartum Women and People Seeking Treatment.

Objectives: Pregnant and postpartum women and people (PPWP) who use opioids experience higher rates of morbidity, preterm labor, and stillbirth than those who do not. Although medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) is the standard of treatment, utilization among PPWP has remained low because of MOUD stigma and misconceptions. The current report examined general and pregnancy-related MOUD attitudes, norms, and self-efficacy among PPWP seeking treatment.

The Mar, Sox, and Rob Systems.

Environments inhabited by are diverse and often stressful. This is particularly true for and during host association in the gastrointestinal systems of animals. There, and must survive exposure to various antimicrobial compounds produced or ingested by their host.

Developmental differences in the impact of racial discrimination on depression and anxiety among Black youth: Examining rumination as a mechanism.

Experiences of racial discrimination are pervasive among Black youth, resulting in psychosocial problems such as depression and anxiety. Rumination plays a key role in linking racial discrimination and internalizing concerns. Developmental age has also been shown to influence the extent to which racial discrimination and rumination impact mental health; however, studies have yet to explore the interplay between these factors.

Factor Structure and Construct Validity of a Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture Using Exploratory Factor Analysis.

Objective: Nurses' voluntary reporting of adverse events and errors is critical for improving patient safety. The operationalization and application of the concept, patient safety culture, warrant further study. The objectives are to explore the underlying factor structure, the correlational relationship, between items of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture and examine its construct validity.

The endophytobiome of wild Rubiaceae as a source of antagonistic fungi against the American Leaf Spot of coffee (Mycena citricolor).

Aims: The American leaf spot, caused by Mycena citricolor, is an important disease of coffee (Coffea arabica), mostly in Central America. Currently, there are limited pathogen control alternatives that are environment friendly and economically accessible. The use of fungi isolated from the plant endomycobiota in their native habitats is on the rise because studies show their great potential for biological control.

Monitoring lipid-protein interactions in planta using Förster resonance energy transfer.

Phospholipids are not only the major structural components of cellular membranes but also important signaling molecules regulating various cellular and physiological processes. One mode of action by lipid mediators is via lipid-protein interactions to modulate the downstream cellular events. An increasing number of lipid-binding proteins have been identified using in vitro lipid-protein binding assays, but it has been challenging to monitor lipid-protein interactions in vivo.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Latent Profiles of Maternal Distress: Associations With 5-Year Maternal and Child Mental Health Outcomes.

Objective: To examine profiles of distress of mothers of preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and relate profiles to maternal and child outcomes at child age 5 years.

Method: A racially and economically diverse sample of mothers (n = 94; 39% African American, 52% White) of preterm infants (≤30 weeks of gestation) completed validated questionnaires assessing depression, anxiety (state and trait), NICU stress, and life stress at NICU discharge of their infant. Mothers reported on their own and their children's symptomatology at child age 5.

Yeast Puf3p-mediated mRNA decay is regulated by carbon source-specific differential interaction of Puf3p with Pop2p and Yak1p.

Puf3p regulates the stability of nuclear-encoded mRNAs acting in mitochondrial biogenesis and function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This work identifies the phosphorylation of Pop2p, a component of the deadenylase complex, as being critical for adapting Puf3p-mediated mRNA decay upon carbon source alterations. We demonstrate that the Puf3p-Pop2p association diminishes in mitochondria-reliant conditions and establish Yak1p, a kinase that phosphorylates Pop2p at threonine 97, as a new player in Puf3p-mediated regulation of mRNA decay.

Exploring associations between affect and marijuana use in everyday life via specification curve analysis.

Although frequently hypothesized, the evidence for associations between affect and marijuana use in everyday life remains ambiguous. Inconsistent findings across existing work may be due, in part, to differences in study design and analytic decisions, such as study inclusion criteria, the operationalization of affect, or the timing of affect assessment. We used specification curves to assess the robustness of the evidence for affect predicting same-day marijuana use and marijuana use predicting next-day affect across several hundred models that varied in terms of decisions that reflect those typical in this literature (e.

The utility of community-based participatory research: Increasing research engagement among minoritized ethnoracial groups.

Objective: This article conceptually examined the need for and utility of community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches for increasing rates of engagement in psychological research among underserved minoritized ethnoracial groups.

Methods: This article examined the literature for relevant studies examining rates of research engagement by minoritized ethnoracial groups, significant factors precluding research engagement, and the consequences of this disparity for mental health outcomes. The theoretical literature outlining the development and utility of alternative, community-based participatory research methods was included.
