Time spent on social media and depressive symptoms in university students: The mediating role of psychoactive substances
CONCLUSION AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Our data suggest a direct relationship between TSSM and depressive symptoms, with a partial mediation effect of psychoactive substance use. This study highlights the importance that public health initiatives aimed at preventing depressive problems in young adults should focus not only on TSSM, but also on controlling and reducing psychoactive substance use.PMID:38711188 | DOI:10.1111/ajad.13574 (Source: American Journal on Addictions)

Sickness absence and associations with sociodemographic factors, health risk behaviours, occupational stressors and adverse mental health in 40,343 UK police employees
CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights the groups of police employees who may be more likely to take sick leave and is unique in its use of a large cohort of police employees. The findings emphasise the importance of considering possible modifiable factors that may contribute to sickness absence in UK police forces.PMID:38712441 | DOI:10.1017/S2045796024000283 (Source: Epidemiology and Psychiatric Sciences)

Evaluation of antimicrobial and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory treatments for BRD on health and welfare in fattening bulls: a cross-sectional study
Vet Q. 2024 Dec;44(1):1-11. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2024.2347928. Epub 2024 May 6.ABSTRACTOur study aimed to evaluate the effect of different treatments for BRD on health and welfare in fattening bulls. A total of 264 bulls were enrolled. Welfare was assessed on day 2 (T0) and day 15 (T1) after arrival. A decrease in the welfare level was observed from T0 to T1. All bulls were inspected clinically at T0 and T1 revealing an increase of skin lesions and lameness in T1. In both periods, a high incidence of respiratory disease was observed. A prevalence of 79.55% and 95.45% of Mycoplasma bovis using RT-PCR and culture at T0 and ...

Impact of low-dose aspirin exposure on obstetrical outcomes: a meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: To sum up, LDA significantly improved neonatal outcomes in pregnant women at high risk of PE without elevating the risk of placental abruption. These findings support LDA's clinical application in pregnant women, although further research is needed to refine dosage and timing recommendations.PMID:38712869 | DOI:10.1080/0167482X.2024.2344079 (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

Ion-Specific Effects on Ion and Polyelectrolyte Solvation
Chemphyschem. 2024 May 7:e202400244. doi: 10.1002/cphc.202400244. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIon-specific effects on aqueous solvation of monovalent counter ions, Na+, K+, Cl-, and Br-, and two model polyeletrolytes (PEs), poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium) (PDADMA) were here studied with ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on the OPLS-aa force-field which is an empirical fixed point-charge force-field. Ion-specific binding to the PE charge groups was also characterized. Both computational methods predict similar response for the solvat...

Viral DNA in submandibular gland tissue with an inflammatory disorder

Bioinformation. 2024 Mar 31;20(3):297-300. doi: 10.6026/973206300200297. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe effect of different cavity liners on the shear bond strength of nanocomposite to dentin is of interest. A total of sixty extracted caries-free maxillary, mandibular molars were randomly assigned to four groups in the following manner Group 1: control (no cavity liner), group 2: Biodentin, group 3: Apacal ART and Group 4: Giomer. Following the application of different cavity liners based on the groups, restoration was carried out using nanocomposite resin using the total-etch Tetric N bond adhesive.

Interpretation of 10  years of Alzheimer's disease genetic findings in the perspective of statistical heterogeneity
Brief Bioinform. 2024 Mar 27;25(3):bbae140. doi: 10.1093/bib/bbae140.ABSTRACTCommon genetic variants and susceptibility loci associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been discovered through large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS), GWAS by proxy (GWAX) and meta-analysis of GWAS and GWAX (GWAS+GWAX). However, due to the very low repeatability of AD susceptibility loci and the low heritability of AD, these AD genetic findings have been questioned. We summarize AD genetic findings from the past 10 years and provide a new interpretation of these findings in the context of statistical heterogeneity. We discovered...

A randomized trial of the inflammatory cytokines levels and the blood transfusion rate between miniaturized tubing group and conventional tubing group in congenital heart disease open heart surgeries
CONCLUSION: Implementing the miniaturized extracorporeal circuit system could decrease the inflammatory cytokines at a certain level. The blood transfusion rate is significantly lower in miniaturized extracorporeal circuit group This indicates the miniaturized extracorporeal circuit system might be a safer CPB strategy with fewer possible inflammation-induced or blood transfusion-related complications.PMID:38712960 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241252720 (Source: Perfusion)
