Worsening of anxiety and depressive symptoms have been widely described during the COVID-19 pandemic. It can be hypothesized that vaccination could link to reduced and/or depression. However, date, no study has assessed this. This aims examine after in US adults, meanwhile test sociodemographic disparities these outcomes. Data from January 6-June 7 2021, cross-sectional Household Pulse Survey were analyzed. Using survey-weighted logistic regression, we relationships between SARS-CoV-2...
Background Dementia is the leading cause of death in elderly Western populations. Preventative interventions that could delay dementia onset even modestly would provide a major public health impact. There are no disease-modifying treatments currently available. Lithium has been proposed as potential treatment. We assessed association between lithium use and incidence its subtypes. Methods findings conducted retrospective cohort study comparing patients treated January 1, 2005 December 31,...
BackgroundConstipation is generally considered a common physical symptom of depression or side effect antidepressant treatments. However, according to the gut-brain axis hypothesis, association between and constipation might be bi-directional. This study investigated premorbid depression.MethodsWe conducted retrospective cohort using data from UK Biobank. Individuals free 2006 2010 were included. Constipation status was determined diagnostic codes electronic health records baseline...
To date, there is a paucity of information regarding the effect COVID-19 or lockdown on mental disorders. We aimed to quantify medium-term impact referrals secondary care health clinical services. conducted controlled interrupted time series study using data from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT), UK (catchment population ~0.86 million). The resulted in an instantaneous drop but then longer-term acceleration referral rate (by 1.21 per day day, 95% confidence...
Objectives To investigate changes in daily mental health (MH) service use and mortality response to the introduction lifting of COVID-19 ‘lockdown’ policy Spring 2020. Design A regression discontinuity time (RDiT) analysis service-level activity. Setting participants Mental healthcare data were extracted from 10 UK providers. Outcome measures Daily (weekly for one site) deaths all causes, referrals discharges, inpatient care (admissions, caseloads) community services (face-to-face...
BackgroundIn China, dementia poses a significant public health challenge, exacerbated by an ageing population and lifestyle changes. This study assesses the temporal trends disparities in population-attributable fractions (PAFs) of modifiable risk factors (MRFs) for new-onset from 2011 to 2018.MethodsWe used data China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), covering 75,214 person-waves. We calculated PAFs 12 MRFs identified Lancet Commission (including six early-to mid-life late-life...
Overweight and obesity affect 340 million adolescents worldwide constitute a risk factor for poor mental health. Understanding the association between body mass index (BMI) health in may help to address rising issues; however, existing studies lack comprehensive evaluations spanning diverse countries periods.
Health inequity is an important issue all around the world. The Chinese basic medical security system comprises three major insurance schemes, namely Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance (UEBMI), Resident (URBMI), and New Cooperative Scheme (NCMS). Little research has been conducted to look into disparity in payments among health schemes China. In this study, we aimed evaluate reimbursements for tuberculosis (TB) care abovementioned schemes.This study uses a World Organization (WHO)...
Xiaoqu is a saccharifying and alcohol-producing, flavoring agent used in brewing Chinese rice wine (CRW). We combined high-throughput sequencing with headspace solid-phase microextraction-mass spectrometry-gas phase ion migration spectrometry to identify the microbial communities of four wines collected from Xinhua County, substances CRWs brewed them. The most prevalent microorganisms at genus level were Pediococcus, Enterobacter, Leuconostoc, Weissella, Staphylococcus, Pantoea,...
The severe health challenge and financial burden of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) continues to be an impediment in China worldwide. This study aimed explore the impact Diagnosis-related group (DRG) payment on medical expenditure treatment efficiency among DR-TB patients. retrospective cohort included all patients from digitized Hospital Information System (HIS) Wuhan Pulmonary TB Management (TBIMS) with completed full course National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) standard January 2016...
Half-Heuslers emerged as promising candidates for medium- and high-temperature thermoelectric power generation. However, polycrystalline half-Heuslers inevitably suffer from the defect-dominated scattering of electrons that greatly limits optimization their electronic properties. Herein, high-quality TiCoSb-based single-crystals with a dimension above 1 cm have been obtained. Benefitting improved electron mobility, an average factor ~37 μW cm−1 K−2 in temperature range between 307 973 K has...
Cognitive impairment is a common issue among older adults, with denture use identified as potential, easily recognizable clinical risk factor. However, the link between wear and cognitive decline in Chinese adults remains understudied. This study aimed to develop validate dynamic nomogram predict of community-dwelling who dentures. We selected 2066 elderly people dentures from CHARLS2018 data development internal validation group 3840 CLHLS2018 external group. Develop treat concentrated...
