BACKGROUND: Overprescription of opioids has led to increased misuse of opioids, resulting in higher rates of overdose. The workplace can play a vital role in an individual's intentions to misuse prescription opioids with injured workers being prescribed opioids, at a rate 3 times the national average. For example, health care workers are at risk for injuries, opioid dispensing, and diversion. Intervening within a context that may contribute to risks for opioid misuse while targeting individual psychosocial factors may be a useful complement to interventions at policy and prescribing levels...

Critical to managing a crisis such as COVID-19 is the propagation of information to all vulnerable populations. Despite guidelines regarding communicating with people with differing accessibility needs during crises, some often find their needs unmet. Following a lack of assisted communications for d/Deaf people during the COVID-19 pandemic, a Twitter hashtag campaign, #WhereIsTheInterpreter, was launched in the UK, protesting the lack of accessibility during official press briefings around the epidemic. The campaign received support from across the globe...

The protracted nature of the COVID-19 pandemic demanded extraordinary efforts and innovation from public health agencies and their leaders. This is the first of 3 research briefs that highlight valuable experiences and opportunities that can be thought of as "bright spots" of the public health workforce's pandemic response. Using Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey 2021 data, we qualitatively examined responses to an open-ended question about pandemic workforce experiences. Leadership was emphasized as a critical component of employees' experiences during the response, and 7 "leadership" subthemes were identified among 157 responses...

Migrant youth commonly access mental health care for the first time during emergencies, rather than through ambulatory means. Suicidal behaviors may occur more often among migrants than nonmigrant youth, and they may suffer from post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and display disruptive behaviors more frequently than their nonmigrant counterparts. Brief emergency interventions include safety planning, psychoeducation, parent training on communication and establishing routines, and behavioral therapies like activity scheduling and sleep hygiene...

BACKGROUND: Previous findings indicate that stress has a profound influence on suicide behavior, but the potential mediating and moderating mechanisms are unknown between uncertainty stress and suicide behavior. The present study, therefore, examined the relationship between uncertainty stress and suicide behavior, the mediating effect of depressive symptoms, and the moderating effect of family relationship in a sample of university students in China. METHODS: 1828 university students were assessed anonymously by using the Uncertainty Stress Scale, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Brief Suicidal Scale, and Family Relationship Scale between May to June in 2021...

Future global health security requires a health and care workforce (HCWF) that can respond effectively to health crises as well as to changing health needs with ageing populations, a rise in chronic conditions and growing inequality. COVID-19 has drawn attention to an impending HCWF crisis with a large projected shortfall in numbers against need. Addressing this requires countries to move beyond a focus on numbers of doctors, nurses and midwives to consider what kinds of healthcare workers can deliver the services needed; are more likely to stay in country, in rural and remote areas, and in health sector jobs; and what support they need to deliver high-quality services...

BACKGROUND: Suicide rates in the United States have increased recently among Black men. To address this public health crisis, smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) platforms are a promising way to collect dynamic, real-time data that can help improve suicide prevention efforts. Despite the promise of this methodology, little is known about its suitability in detecting experiences related to suicidal thoughts and behavior (STB) among Black men. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to clarify the acceptability and feasibility of using smartphone-based EMA through a pilot study that assesses the user experience among Black men...

Brief admission by self-referral, which allows patients to briefly admit themselves to a psychiatric ward, is a crisis intervention designed to reduce suicide and self-harm. This method was introduced in Sweden for adult patients in 2015, achieving high patient satisfaction and good acceptance among staff. In 2018, the method was adapted and implemented in pediatric psychiatry. The present study comprehensively describes the multifaceted strategies for implementing brief admissions, including planning, education, financing, restructuring, quality management, and policy implementation and reform...

The diabetic neuropathies represent the commonest long-term complications of diabetes, and may be the presenting feature of Type 2 diabetes. In clinical practice, distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN) and the autonomic neuropathies are the most frequently seen forms of diabetic neuropathy. The 2017 American Diabetes Association classification system for the neuropathies of diabetes are in general use. Treatment challenges remain and the need for revised recommendations and further discussion of management of severely painful DSPN that does not fully respond to conventional medical management is clear, especially in light of the recent opioid crisis in the USA...

BACKGROUND: Mastectomies are commonly performed and strongly associated with chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP), more specifically termed postmastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS), with 25-60% of patients reporting pain 3 months after surgery. PMPS interferes with function, recovery, and compliance with adjuvant therapy. Importantly, it is associated with chronic opioid use, as a recent study showed that 1 in 10 patients continue to use opioids at least 3 months after curative surgery...

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common among U.S. military veterans and is associated with increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Crisis response planning (CRP), a brief safety planning-type intervention, has been shown to rapidly reduce suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in emergency and acute care settings. CRP's effectiveness when combined with trauma-focused therapies remains unknown. In this randomized pragmatic clinical trial with one-year follow-up, 157 U.S. military personnel and veterans were randomly assigned to receive CRP or self-guided safety planning (SP) prior to beginning massed cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for PTSD...

Boiling is used for the thermal management of high-energy-density devices and systems. However, sudden thermal runaway at boiling crisis often results in catastrophic failures. Machine learning is a promising tool for in-situ monitoring of boiling-based systems for preemptive control of boiling crisis. A carefully acquired and well-labeled dataset is a primary requirement for utilizing any data-driven learning framework to extract valuable descriptors. Here, we present a comprehensive dataset of boiling acoustics presented in our recent work [1]...

We understand the current crisis of overdose deaths to be driven by widespread opioid use, characterized by distinct 'waves' of drug use. The first wave was driven by prescription opioids, the second by heroin, and the third by illicit, non-pharmaceutical fentanyl and fentanyl analogues (henceforth, fentanyl). The purpose of this study is to describe opioid initiation within each of the three waves from the perspective of people who use illicit opioids, with a focus on emerging pathways into fentanyl use. The authors recruited sixty people reporting past-30-day illicit opioid use in Dayton, Ohio...

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a global health crisis of unprecedented magnitude. In the battle against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, dexamethasone, a widely used corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory properties, has emerged as a promising therapy in the fight against severe COVID-19. Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that exerts its therapeutic effects by suppressing the immune system and reducing inflammation. In the context of COVID-19, the severe form of the disease is often characterized by a hyperactive immune response, known as a cytokine storm...
