CONCLUSION: This review provides evidence that cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based, telephone-based, individual or group-based interventions were effective for informal caregivers of lung cancer patients. Further research is needed to develop the most effective intervention contents and delivery methods across informal caregivers with larger sample size in randomized controlled trials.

Temporal sequencing of change in trauma-related beliefs and therapeutic alliance during prolonged exposure and sertraline for chronic PTSD by Allison L Baier
CONCLUSION: Findings suggest alliance may not be an independent driver of cognition change and point to the need for additional study of the impact of patient characteristics on treatment processes.
Acknowledging the risk of suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety in PAs by Noël E Smith
The prevalence of suicidal ideation is unknown and limited information exists about depression and anxiety among physician associates/assistants (PAs). We set out to understand the degree of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation in PAs and PA students. In total, 728 PAs and 322 PA students took an online survey. Risk of depression and anxiety were…
Utility of the CCAPS Screen in a Collegiate Athlete Population by Kate Higgins
CONCLUSIONS: The CCAPS Screen did not appear to differentiate well between those who eventually received mental health services and those who did not. This should not be taken to mean that mental health screening is not useful, but rather that a 1 time-state based screening is not sufficient with athletes that experience intermittent, but recurring…
Examination of Energy Availability, Mental Health, and Sleep Patterns among Athletic Trainers by Toni M Torres-McGehee
CONCLUSION: Although most ATs engaged in exercise, ATs are not getting adequate dietary intake and are at increased risk for depression and anxiety and experience sleep disturbance. Those who did not exercise were at increased risk for depression and anxiety. EA, mental health, and sleep impact overall quality of life and can affect ATs’ ability…
The care of patients with secondary hypothalamic amenorrhoea by Chloe Watson
Secondary hypothalamic amenorrhoea is a common menstrual disorder affecting women of reproductive age. In some cases, periods become absent due to prolonged stress on the body, caused by undereating, overexercising and psychological stress. Secondary hypothalamic amenorrhoea is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, and patients may be prescribed oral contraception, which can mask the problem. This article…
Phosphorylation of GntR reduces Streptococcus suis oxidative stress resistance and virulence by inhibiting NADH oxidase transcription by Kai Niu
GntR transcription factor of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) is a potential substrate protein of STK, but the regulation mechanisms of GntR phosphorylation are still unclear. This study confirmed that STK phosphorylated GntR in vivo, and in vitro phosphorylation experiments showed that STK phosphorylated GntR at Ser-41. The phosphomimetic strain (GntR-S41E) had significantly reduced lethality…
Meisosomes, folded membrane microdomains between the apical extracellular matrix and epidermis by Dina Aggad
Apical extracellular matrices (aECMs) form a physical barrier to the environment. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the epidermal aECM, the cuticle, is composed mainly of different types of collagen, associated in circumferential ridges separated by furrows. Here, we show that in mutants lacking furrows, the normal intimate connection between the epidermis and the cuticle is lost, specifically…

Exposure to 6-PPD Quinone at Environmentally Relevant Concentrations Causes Abnormal Locomotion Behaviors and Neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans by Xin Hua
6-PPD quinone (6-PPDQ) can be transformed from 6-PPD through ozonation. Nevertheless, the potential neurotoxicity of 6-PPDQ after long-term exposure and the underlying mechanism are largely unclear. In Caenorhabditis elegans, we here observed that 0.1-10 μg/L of 6-PPDQ caused several forms of abnormal locomotion behaviors. Meanwhile, the neurodegeneration of D-type motor neurons was observed in 10…
HIV-Infected and HIV-Uninfected Western Kenyan Women Produce Equivalent Amounts of Breast Milk at 6 Wk and 6 Mo Postpartum: A Prospective Cohort Study Using Deuterium Oxide Dose-to-Mother Technique by Shadrack Oiye
CONCLUSIONS: Full-term breastfeeding infants born to HIV-1-infected and HIV-1-uninfected women attending standard Kenyan postnatal care clinics ≤6 mo of age in this resource-poor setting consume comparable amounts of breast milk. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as PACTR201807163544658.
Perinatal Hospital Practices Are Associated with Breastfeeding through 5 Months Postpartum among Women and Infants from Low-Income Households by Caitlin D French
CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to BF-friendly hospital practices was associated with BF beyond the hospital stay. Expanding BF-friendly policies at the hospital could increase BF rates in the United States WIC-served population.
