CONCLUSION: Anxiety, depression, and stress remained high in Bangladeshi adults after one year of the pandemic. The community-based interventions should aim to increase the mindfulness and optimism levels among the sufferers. More accelerated vaccination programs across the country could protect people from suffering from overall mental distress.

A comprehensive study of Ecuadorian adult patients with a mild and moderate presentation of COViD-19 by Fabricio González-Andrade
CONCLUSION: The epidemiological and clinical behavior of hospitalized and critical patients differs greatly from ambulatory or mild or moderate symptoms. It is essential to highlight those non-hospitalized patients constitute the predominant population of patients, hence the importance of adequate management that would directly affect the development of complicated forms and, consequently, the collapse of healthcare…
Use of a Mobile Biofeedback Application to Provide Health Coaching for Stress Self-Management: Findings from a Pilot Quasi-Experiment by Changwon Son
CONCLUSIONS: Participants reported a positive perception of the app for their mental health self-management during a stressful semester. Future work should examine long-term effects of the app with a larger sample size balanced between male and female participants, randomized participant allocation, real-time detection of mental health symptoms, and additional features of the app.
Anxiety, Depression and Global Distress among African American Emerging Adults with Uncontrolled Asthma by Wanda Gibson-Scipio
CONCLUSION: This study suggests, asthma-related anxiety may differ from general anxiety and be related to poorly controlled asthma among African American young adults.
Pathways, Contexts, and Voices of Shame and Compassion: A Grounded Theory of the Evolution of Perinatal Suicidality by Laura J Biggs
There is an urgent need to generate deeper understandings of how suicidality manifests and evolves during pregnancy and the following year. Several perinatal studies have examined the incidence of suicidal thoughts and behaviours and associated social and obstetric risk factors; however, there is very limited research offering insights into women’s experiences of suicidality at this…
Drivers and drainers of compassion in intensive care medicine: An empirical study using video vignettes by Shahla Siddiqui
CONCLUSIONS: Regulatory and scheduling practices must be examined to foster the growth of compassionate behaviors and attitudes in healthcare, and these should be treated as essential patient centered metrics.

Modulating the Kynurenine pathway or sequestering toxic 3-hydroxykynurenine protects the retina from light-induced damage in Drosophila by Sarita Hebbar
Tissue health is regulated by a myriad of exogenous or endogenous factors. Here we investigated the role of the conserved Kynurenine pathway (KP) in maintaining retinal homeostasis in the context of light stress in Drosophila melanogaster. cinnabar, cardinal and scarlet are fly genes that encode different steps in the KP. Along with white, these genes…
Endoplasmic Reticulum Peroxynitrite Fluctuations in Hypoxia-Induced Endothelial Injury and Sepsis with a Two-Photon Fluorescence Probe by Zixuan Zhan
Sepsis is a serious systemic inflammatory disease that frequently results in death. Early diagnosis and timely targeted interventions could improve the therapeutic effect. Recent work has revealed that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and hypoxia-induced endothelial injury play significant roles in sepsis. However, the relationship between the levels of peroxynitrite…
Annexin-A5 and annexin-A6 silencing prevents metastasis of breast cancer cells in zebrafish by Céline Gounou
CONCLUSIONS: We show here that annexin-A5 (ANXA5) and ANXA6 participate in membrane repair of MDA-MB-231 cells, a highly invasive triple-negative breast cancer cell line. These crucial components of the membrane repair machinery are substantially expressed in breast cancer cells in correlation with their invasive properties.
Market-based approach to promoting home fortification of diets with micronutrient powder through volunteer frontline health workers: A qualitative study by Mahfuzur Rahman
CONCLUSION: The market-based approach in promoting HF with MNP through frontline volunteer health workers shows much potential, with ample opportunities and few possible challenges. Considering the dynamics, the intervention should fine-tune the factors crucial to maximizing the potentials of Shasthya Shebikas for marketing MNP and promoting HF in order to improve nutrition status of the…
Chlorhexidine bathing in a tertiary care neonatal intensive care unit: A pilot study by Maskit Bar-Meir
CONCLUSION: For infants >30 weeks and >3 days old, 2% CHG bathing was safe. Large multicenter studies are urgently needed to establish the effectiveness of this practice in the NICU.
