Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a well-established treatment for behavioural, hyperactivity and oppositional-defiant problems in children. Previous meta-analyses are scarce, and they have tended to mix problems and measures.
A meta-analysis study was conducted with all available studies on PCIT (1980 to 2020) to determine its specific efficacy and effectiveness for child behavioural problems.
Selection from databases collected a total of 100 studies. The inclusion criteria were to compare PCIT in children with behavioural problems between 2 and 12 years of age; comparing groups and using standardized instruments.
PCIT exhibited a significant mean effect size ( d = -0.87 [95% CI -1.10, -0.63] versus control and/or treatment-as-usual groups, but the effect size was smaller and not significant in follow-ups ( d = -0.23 [95% CI -0.49, 0.04]). The within-group studies, comparing versions of PCIT, also demonstrated a significant effect size ( d = -0.26 (95% CI -0.43, -0.08), and in pre-post comparisons this effect was greater ( d = -1.40 [95% CI -1.69, -1.10]).
PCIT is an effective intervention for treating child behaviour problems such as disruptive, hyperactive, negative, and externalizing problems. It is supported by 40 years of experimental and clinical studies, and also by this meta-analysis.

Psychosocial risks associated to the military life affect the performance and the psychological wellbeing of the military personnel adversely. However, Psychological Capital (PsyCap) is known to modulate positively these risks. The aim of this study is to test if a PsyCap-based training programme may enhance and shield the psychological wellbeing and PsyCap of the military personnel, benefiting both the individual and the employer organisation.
To determine the efficacy of the psychological training program a two way (fixed) ANOVA design was run and the R2 size effect was calculated in a sample of 90 Spanish military, comparing the 41 participants who were involved in PsyCap-based training programme with the control counterparts (N = 49).
Comparing the treatment group with its control counterpart we observed a remarkable increase in PsyCap of 15.18%, whilst the Psychological Wellbeing showed an 8.04% increase at the completion of the study respect to the control group.
A training program based on the Psychological Capital enhances itself and helps to keep the wellbeing levels in the military personnel.

Little is known about the effect adoption status has on psychological adjustment (for instance, depression, anxiety, problem behaviour, or drug misuse) in adulthood. The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis to study the impact of adoption status on adult adoptees' psychological adjustment.
The review included 18 quasi-experimental studies conducted between 1993 and 2019.
Adoptees had significantly worse psychological adjustment than non-adoptees across all outcomes, except for the obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and antisocial personality disorder (APD). The moderating analyses showed a significant effect for ethnicity and marital status.
Our results shed light on the specific groups of adoptees at a higher risk of maladjustment. The outcomes most strongly influenced by adoptive status were angry emotions (hostility and anger), psychiatric care, drug abuse, and psychotic symptoms. These findings have clinical implications with regard to the support that practitioners can provide to adoptees and their families.

Nutritional status and diet have a major impact on the COVID-19 health-disease process, mainly due to the bidirectional interaction between gut-lung axis. Individuals with inadequate nutritional status have a pre-existing imbalance in the gut microbiota and immunity as seen in obesity, diabetes, hypertension, or other chronic diseases. Communication between the gut microbiota and lungs or other organs and systems may trigger worse clinical outcomes in viral respiratory infections. Thus, this review addresses new insights into the use of probiotics and prebiotics as a preventive nutritional strategy in managing respiratory infections such as COVID-19 and highlighting their anti-inflammatory effects against the main signs and symptoms associated with COVID-19. The search for studies was performed through Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science databases; relevant clinical articles were included. Significant randomized clinical trials suggest that specific probiotics and/or prebiotics reduce diarrhoea, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, cough, sore throat, fever, and viral infection complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome. These beneficial effects are linked with modulation of the microbiota, products of microbial metabolism with antiviral activity, and immune regulatory properties of specific probiotics and prebiotics through of Treg cell production and function. There is a need to conduct clinical and pre-clinical trials to assess the effect of consuming these components together with the current therapies in COVID-19.New Zealand has a strategy of eliminating SARS-CoV-2 that has resulted in a low incidence of reported coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19). The aim of this study was to describe the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in New Zealand via a nationwide serosurvey of blood donors. Samples (n = 9806) were collected over a month-long period (3 December 2020-6 January 2021) from donors aged 16-88 years. The sample population was geographically spread, covering 16 of 20 district health board regions. A series of Spike-based immunoassays were utilised, and the serological testing algorithm was optimised for specificity given New Zealand is a low prevalence setting. Eighteen samples were seropositive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, six of which were retrospectively matched to previously confirmed COVID-19 cases. A further four were from donors that travelled to settings with a high risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure, suggesting likely infection outside New Zealand. The remaining eight seropositive samples were from seven different district health regions for a true seroprevalence estimate, adjusted for test sensitivity and specificity, of 0.103% (95% confidence interval, 0.09-0.12%). The very low seroprevalence is consistent with limited undetected community transmission and provides robust, serological evidence to support New Zealand's successful elimination strategy for COVID-19.Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global health threat. The World Health Organization (WHO) established a goal to eliminate HBV infection as a public health threat by 2030, and defined targets for key interventions to achieve that goal. We evaluated HBV burden and relevant national recommendations for progress towards WHO targets in circumpolar countries. Viral hepatitis experts of circumpolar countries were surveyed regarding their country's burden of HBV, achievement of WHO targets and national public health authority recommendations for HBV prevention and control. Eight of nine circumpolar countries responded. 7,12-Dimethylbenz[aanthracene concentration] All countries continue to see new HBV infections. Data about HBV prevalence and progress in reaching WHO 2030 elimination targets are lacking. No country was able to report data for all seven WHO target measures. All countries have recommendations targeting the prevention of mother-to-child transmission. Only the USA and Greenland recommend universal birth dose vaccination. Four countries have recommendations to screen persons at high risk for HBV. Existing recommendations largely address prevention; however, recommendations for universal birth dose vaccination have not been widely introduced. Opportunities remain for the development of trackable targets and national elimination planning to screen and treat for HBV to reduce incidence and mortality.Standardized neurobehavioural assessment tools (SNBATs) form a key aspect of diagnostic assessment for individuals with prolonged disorders of consciousness (PDOCs). Each SNBAT has different psychometric properties, operational definitions of behaviours, scoring systems and methods of administration. Selection and implementation of SNBATs varies within and between healthcare settings. Defining diagnostic and prognostic parameters requires collating multiple SNBAT results over time, which is problematic if several assessors and professions are involved. The Levels of Consciousness Calibration of Assessment Tools Evaluations (LOCCATE) is the first tool designed to calibrate the results of any recognized PDOC SNBAT. It also categorizes the diagnostic spectrum profile of both motor and communication responses into eight criteria of behaviours. Each criterion has up to three levels of reproducibility, ultimately producing a LOCCATE calibration score ranging from 1 to 27. A case study is presented to illustrate changes in LOCCATE scores over time, while an audit explores the tool's clinical utility. With current directives placing less emphasis on a PDOC diagnosis, there is now a greater need for a calibration tool such as LOCCATE to identify exactly what the individual can do and create an accurate trajectory as an evidence base to support clinical and best-interest decision-making.The function of tubulin polymerization promoting protein family member 3 (TPPP3) in tumor cells is complicated, and the role of TPPP3 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the expression of TPPP3 in NPC and its effect on NPC cells. The expression of TPPP3 in NPC tissues and other cancers were analyzed by using the Oncomine and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The mRNA and protein of TPPP3 were detected in NPC tissues by quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, TPPP3 was overexpressed in 5-8 F and HONE1 cell lines by lentivirus transfection, and functional analysis of TPPP3 in NPC was evaluated through in vitro experiments. The expression of TPPP3 was significantly down-regulated in NPC tissues and cells. Overexpression of TPPP3 significantly inhibited proliferation of 5-8 F and HONE1 cells in vitro. In addition, overexpression of TPPP3 significantly attenuated the invasion ability of 5-8 F, HONE1 cells in vitro, but have no significant effect on migration ability.
