INTRODUCTION: Little research has been done on how people mentally simulate future suicidal thoughts and urges, a process we term suicidal prospection. METHODS: Participants were 94 adults with recent suicidal thoughts. Participants completed a 42-day real-time monitoring study and then a follow-up survey 28 days later. Each night, participants provided predictions for the severity of their suicidal thoughts the next day and ratings of the severity of suicidal thoughts over the past day...

During the last two decades botulinum toxin has also conquered urology. Botulinum toxin reduces the contractility and sensitivity of the detrusor muscle and relieves pain. It is therefore a promising drug whose use in men also appears promising. The following article highlights the practical relevance of botulinum toxin for male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). But first of all, a distinction must be made between use in male LUTS due to benign prostate syndrome (BPS) and use in cases of overactive bladder (OAB) alone...

This review delves into the forensic utility of the sternum in creating a biological profile, focusing on sex, stature, and age estimation. Emphasizing the sternum's significance in challenging scenarios, the study supports the combined length of the manubrium and sternal body as a crucial indicator in sex and stature estimation. However, it highlights the need for caution in applying findings across diverse populations and questions the reliability of Hyrtl's law. Age estimation, primarily based on morphological changes and ossification ages, is explored, with one study showing promise but requiring further validation...

Respiratory interoception is one of the internal bodily systems that is comprised of different types of somatic and visceral sensations elicited by different patterns of afferent input and respiratory motor drive mediating multiple respiratory modalities. Respiratory interoception is a complex system, having multiple afferents grouped into afferent clusters and projecting into both discriminative and affective centers that are directly related to the behavioral assessment of breathing. The multi-afferent system provides a spectrum of input that result in the ability to interpret the different types of respiratory interceptive sensations...

Two of every three persons living with dementia reside in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The projected increase in global dementia rates is expected to affect LMICs disproportionately. However, the majority of global dementia care costs occur in high-income countries (HICs), with dementia research predominantly focusing on HICs. This imbalance necessitates LMIC-focused research to ensure that characterization of dementia accurately reflects the involvement and specificities of diverse populations...

INTRODUCTION: The analysis of post-HoLEP urinary incontinence (UI) has traditionally focused on stress UI. Our aim is to evaluate the factors associated with stress and urgency UI in the first month after the surgery. METHODS: Data were obtained from patients who underwent HoLEP by the same experienced surgeon. UI was evaluated at one month and at 6 months after the surgery. Three groups were defined: continent patients, patients with pure urgency UI and patients with stress or mixed UI...

In order to tackle racism in healthcare, it must be rooted out, carefully and mindfully, by all those who work in the field. Of late, there is much talk to enact institutional change; however, I believe there is a paucity of commentary to encourage individual responsibility. Here I present a personal experience which I believe illustrates a frequent occurrence whereby racism is falsely identified in a person. Given the obvious negative connotations associated with being a racist, the chance for further conversation to understand one another is denied...

In many parts of the world, particularly in rural areas, sexual violence remains a serious issue. However, cultural orientations urge women to be submissive and obedient sexual partners in marriages. Hence, during COVID-19 lockdowns, when women were thought to be sexually assaulted most, this study used a chain referral sample technique to recruit 20 married rural Ghanaian women to examine their lived experiences of sexual violence. The study established that rural culture denies women sexual autonomy in marriages and offers husbands unrestricted access to their wives' bodies...

BACKGROUND: Emotional eating, or eating in response to negative emotions, is a commonly reported short-term emotion regulation strategy but has been shown to be ineffective in the long term. Most emotional eating interventions based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) have been delivered in the context of weight loss trials, highlighting a need for ACT-based emotional eating interventions in weight-neutral contexts. AIMS: This proof-of-concept study aimed to test the acceptability and efficacy potential of a brief virtual ACT workshop for emotional eating in a small sample of adults identifying as emotional eaters...

OBJECTIVES: The rise of antibiotic-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae ( Sp ) poses a significant global health threat, urging the quest for novel antimicrobial solutions. We have discovered that the human hormone l-thyroxine has antibacterial properties. In order to explore its drugability we perform here the characterization of a series of l-thyroxine analogues and describe the structural determinants influencing their antibacterial efficacy. METHOD: We performed a high-throughput screening of a library of compounds approved for use in humans, complemented with ITC assays on purified Sp -flavodoxin, to pinpoint molecules binding to this protein...

The increasing interest in the potential applications of generative AI models like ChatGPT-3.5 in healthcare has prompted numerous studies exploring its performance in various medical contexts. However, evaluating ChatGPT poses unique challenges due to the inherent randomness in its responses. Unlike traditional AI models, ChatGPT generates different responses for the same input, making it imperative to assess its stability through repetition. This commentary highlights the importance of including repetition in the evaluation of ChatGPT to ensure the reliability of conclusions drawn from its performance...

In the past two decades, we witnessed the evolution of the basophil activation test (BAT) from mainly research applications to a potential complementary diagnostic tool to document IgE-dependent allergies. However, BAT presents some technical weaknesses. Around 10%-15% of tested patients are non-responders, BAT can be negative immediately post-reaction and the use of fresh basophils, ideally analysed within 4 h of collection, restricts the number of tests that can be performed per sample. The need for fresh basophils is especially limiting when conducting batch analyses and interlaboratory comparisons to harmonize BAT methodology...

INTRODUCTION: We report a case of refractory overactive bladder with cough-associated detrusor overactivity treated by onabotulinumtoxin A. CASE PRESENTATION: A 79-year-old woman who underwent mid-urethral sling surgery 8 years ago complained mainly of urinary incontinence following abdominal pressure. Various medicines to treat overactive bladder symptoms were ineffective. Cystometry revealed cough-associated detrusor overactivity. Onabotulinumtoxin A injections in her bladder improved subjective symptoms, and cough-associated detrusor overactivity disappeared on cystometry...

Can we take the purpose of nurse education for granted, and, more importantly, should we? That is the issue at stake in this paper. The question of purpose is conspicuously absent in the nursing literature; our aim here is to urge that it not be overlooked by demonstrating its importance to the future of nursing. We approach the question of nurse education's purpose in concrete and speculative terms through two distinct yet interrelated questions: what is the purpose of nurse education? and what should it be? Amidst the complexity and uncertainty of our time, we cast doubt on the adequacy of manualised and regulated approaches-ubiquitous in nurse education-to prepare nurses who can meet the challenges of contemporary practice...

Caesarean section is the most common inpatient surgery in the USA, with more than 1.1 million procedures in 2020. Similar to other surgical procedures, healthcare providers rely on opioids for postoperative pain management. However, current evidence shows that postpartum patients usually experience less pain due to pregnancy-related physiological changes. Owing to the current opioid crisis, public health agencies urge providers to provide rational opioid prescriptions. In addition, a personalised postoperative opioid prescription may benefit racial minorities since research shows that this population receives fewer opioids despite greater pain levels...

This editorial explores the impact of bundled payment initiatives, specifically in the context of orthopedic surgery, on access to care. We examine the phenomenon of "cherry picking" healthier patients and "lemon dropping" higher-risk patients, potentially leading to disparities in access and healthcare outcomes. We discuss recent studies investigating these concerns and highlight the need for more in-depth research to better understand the groups these policies may marginalize. Policymakers are urged to consider measures to protect disadvantaged patients and ensure equitable access to care, aligning with the principles of equality and diversity in healthcare...
