Exploring trust in religious leaders and institutions as a mechanism for improving retention in child malnutrition interventions in the Philippines: a retrospective cohort study by Lincoln Leehang Lau, Warren Dodd, Han Lily Qu, Donald C Cole

“…Objectives In the context of persistent child malnutrition in the Philippines, the objective of this study was to examine how different dimensions of trust affected programme retention and physiological outcomes when a faith-based organisation (FBO) addressed moderate and severe acute malnutrition among children from households experiencing extreme poverty.Setting We retrospectively analysed survey data collected by International Care Ministries (ICM) in 2012–2013 across 150 communities in eight provinces (Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental, Bohol, Palawan, Sarangani, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat and Zamboanga del Norte) of the Philippines.Study participants Caregivers of 1192 children experiencing moderate acute malnutrition and severe acute malnutrition between the ages of 6 and 60 months.Intervention A 16-week child malnutrition treatment programme called Malnourished Child Outreach offered by ICM in partnership with local religious leaders and institutions.Primary and secondary outcome measures Programme dropout and weight-for-height z-score (WHZ) at the end of the programme for enrolled children were the two outcomes of interest. …”

Effect of Posterior Corneal Surgically Induced Astigmatism on Toric Intraocular Lens Power Calculations by Stewart S, Yeo TK, Moutari S, McNeely RN, Moore JE

“…Postoperative MPCA had a lower proportion of eyes within 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00D of predicted refractive astigmatism than PPCA or preoperative MPCA, although this was not statistically significant.Conclusion: This study demonstrated postoperative changes in posterior corneal astigmatism magnitude and the orientation of the steep meridian. However, accounting for posterior keratometric SIA in the Barrett Toric formula does not improve refractive astigmatism prediction accuracy.Keywords: cataract, posterior corneal astigmatism, Toric IOL power calculations…”

Effectiveness Assessment of Bispectral Index Monitoring Compared with Conventional Monitoring in General Anesthesia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by Yichun Gu, Jiajun Hao, Jiangna Wang, Peng Liang, Xinyi Peng, Xiaoxiao Qin, Yunwei Zhang, Da He

“…In comparison to the conventional depth of anesthesia monitoring, BIS monitoring reduced the postoperative cognitive dysfunction risk (RR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.73∼0.99, P=0.04), shortened the eye-opening time (MD = −1.34, 95% CI: −2.06∼−0.61, P<0.01), orientation recovery time (MD = −1.99, 95% CI: −3.62∼−0.36, P=0.02), extubation time (MD = −2.54, 95% CI: −3.50∼−1.58, P<0.01), and postanesthesia care unit stay time (MD = −7.11, 95% CI: −12.67∼−1.55, P=0.01) and lowered the anesthesia drug dosage (SMD = −0.39, 95% CI: −0.63∼−0.15, P<0.01).​ …”

Heterozygous pathogenic STT3A variation leads to dominant congenital glycosylation disorders and functional validation in zebrafish by Linxue Meng, Zhixu Fang, Li Jiang, Yinglan Zheng, Siqi Hong, Yu Deng, Lingling Xie

“…Heterozygous knockdown zebrafish exhibit phenotypes similar to those of patients, including craniofacial dysmorphology (increased eye distance, increased Basihyal’s length, increased Ceratohyal’s angle), skeletal abnormalities (reduced number of mineralized bones), developmental delay (reduced adaptability under light‒dark stimuli suggesting abnormal locomotion, orientation, and social behavior), and electrophysiological abnormalities. …”

Myocardin-Related Transcription Factor A (MRTF-A) Regulates the Balance between Adipogenesis and Osteogenesis of Human Adipose Stem Cells by Laura Hyväri, Sari Vanhatupa, Heidi T. Halonen, Minna Kääriäinen, Susanna Miettinen

“…Image-based analysis of Phalloidin staining revealed that MRTF-A inhibition reduced the F-actin formation and parallel orientation of the actin filaments. Additionally, MRTF-A inhibition affected the protein amounts of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), myosin light chain (MLC), and phosphorylated MLC suggesting that MRTF-A would regulate differentiation through SRF activity. …”
