This study is to investigate the role of amniocentesis for prenatal diagnosis before and after the beginning of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in Japan.

We performed a retrospective analysis of genetic amniocentesis at mid-trimester (15-20 gestational weeks) for fetal karyotype analysis at Nagoya City University between April 2006 and March 2020. The indications, test results, and the detection rate of fetal abnormal karyotype were compared before (phase 1, P1) and after (phase 2, P2) beginning of NIPT at April 2013.

A total of 2458 (P1 1132, P2 1326) amniocentesis were enrolled in this study. The most frequent indication was advanced maternal age in both phases (P1 78.2% %, P2 81.1%). In P2, 110 patients (8.3%) received amniocentesis after positive or nonreportable NIPT results. Other indications were fetal abnormal findings by ultrasounds (P1 15.4%, P2 17.7%), abnormal maternal serum screening results (P1 8.0%, P2 10%), previous child with fetal chromosome aberration (P1 6.5%, P2 3.5%), and translocation of either partner (P11.5%, P2 2.1%). The detection rate for fetal chromosomal aberrations including all indications was significantly increased in P2 (15.9%, 95% CI 14.0-18.0) as compared to P1 (9.0%, 7.4-10.8). However, if the indication was only advanced maternal age, the positive detection rate kept low in both phases (P1 5.2%, 3.7-7.1, P2 4.2%, 2.9-5.9).

Since the initiation of NIPT, the detection rate of fetal chromosomal abnormalities was higher in this study, suggesting that amniocentesis cannot be strongly recommended for advanced maternal age alone.

Here, we report on the preparation of a novel graphitic microporous carbon nitride with a tetrazine based chemical structure and the composition of C3 N5.4 using ultra-stable Y zeolite as the template and aminoguanidine hydrochloride, a high nitrogen-containing molecule, as the CN precursor. Spectroscopic characterization and density functional theory calculations reveal that the prepared material exhibits a new molecular structure, which comprises two tetrazines and one triazine rings in the unit cell and is thermodynamically stable. The resultant carbon nitride shows an outstanding surface area of 130.4 m2  g-1 and demonstrates excellent CO2 adsorption per unit surface area of 47.54 μmol m-2 , which is due to the existence of abundant free NH2 groups, basic sites and microporosity. The material also exhibits highly selective sensing over water molecules (151.1 mmol g-1 ) and aliphatic hydrocarbons due to its unique microporous structure with a high amount of hydrophilic nitrogen moieties and recognizing ability towards small molecules.

The growing literature on Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) and dementia identifies specific problems related to the influence that involvement has on research outcomes, over-reliance on family members as proxiesand lack of representation of seldom-heard groups. Adaptations to the PPIE process are therefore needed to make possible the involvement of a broader spectrum of people living with dementia.

This study aimed to adapt the PPIE process to make participation in cocreation by people living with dementia accessible and meaningful across a spectrum of cognitive abilities.

Narrative elicitation, informal conversationand observation were used to cocreate three vignettes based on PPIE group members' personal experiences of dementia services. Each vignette was produced in both narrative and graphic formats.

Nine people living with dementia and five family members participated in this study.

Using enhanced methods and outreach, it was possible to adapt the PPIE process so that not only family members and people with milder cognitive difficulties could participate, but also those with more pronounced cognitive problems whose voices are less often heard.

Making creative adaptations is vital in PPIE involving people living with dementia if we wish to develop inclusive forms of PPIE practice. This may, however, raise new ethical issues, which are briefly discussed.

People with dementia and their families were involved in the design and conduct of the study, in the interpretation of dataand in the preparation of the manuscript.

Older patients are more prone to receive potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) that are better to be avoided or dose adjusted to protect them from their unnecessary or harmful use. This study aims to detect the prevalence of PIMs among older patients discharged from Tawam hospital according to Beers criteria 2019. Moreover, the common risk factors of the older patients may subject them to PIMs use.

A retrospective charts review study of older patients ≥65years who were prescribed 5 or more medications and were discharged from Tawam hospital from 1 October 2018 to 31 December 2018. Each patient's medical record was scanned to detect PIMs. (PIMs) were classified according to Beers criteria 2019, and the predictors of PIMs were also assessed.

A total of 502 older patients (51.6% females and 48.4% males) medical charts were reviewed. The prevalence of PIMs among the study population was 34.7%. Antipsychotics (27.5%) and sulphonylurea's (16.8%) were among the most common avoided PIMs. Anticoagulants (40%) and ranitidine (35%) were the most PIMs based on the kidney function of the patient. Female gender [OR 1.8; 95% CI (1.22-2.66), P<.05] and increasing number of medications [OR 1.08; 95% CI (1.03-1.14), P<.05] were the independent predictors of PIMs.

Based on the prevalence of PIMs among older patients, it is recommended to revise each patient's medications prescription to avoid inappropriate prescribing and hence decrease the prevalence of PIMs.

Non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication is an important cause of uncontrolled blood glucose that leads to complications of diabetes. However, there is a lack of evidence on the burden of and factors associated with non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication among individuals living with diabetes in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs).

This systematic literature review and meta-analytic synthesis aims to estimate non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication reported among individuals in LMICs and explores factors affecting non-adherence.

We systematically searched MEDLINE and Embase to identify studies investigating non-adherence to anti-diabetic medications published from January 2000 to May 2020. Two authors carried out study selection, screening, and data extraction independently. Cross-sectional studies that had been conducted among individuals with diabetes in LMICs were eligible for the selection process. Critical appraisal of the included studies was carried out using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale.operating at different levels were cited as reasons. Comprehensive intervention strategies are urgently needed to address these factors in effectively tackling medication non-adherence in LMICs.

Non-adherence to anti-diabetic medication remains an ongoing challenge in LMICs and several factors operating at different levels were cited as reasons. Comprehensive intervention strategies are urgently needed to address these factors in effectively tackling medication non-adherence in LMICs.

The Australian Deaf Community face barriers that impede their access to, and communication within, primary health care settings. This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to access and communication for deaf individuals and Auslan interpreters in Australian general practice settings.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight Auslan interpreters and four deaf participants recruited from interpreter organisations and social media. Transcripts of interviews were coded inductively and deductively based on a model of access to health care.

Patient, provider and contextual factors were reported. Patient barriers included English and Auslan fluency levels within the Australian Deaf Community. GP clinics varied in the degree of accommodation to the needs of deaf people. There were barriers related to the communication methods used by health care providers and their use of interpreters. Visual aids and flexibility in terms of the GP clinics' appointment systems facilitated access. Contextual barriers included the shortage of Auslan interpreters and the complexity of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

The main barriers identified concerned the availability of interpreters, accommodation by health providers, cultural sensitivity and the adequacy of communication methods. Research is needed to explore the limitations of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and interventions to improve GPs' skills in communicating with Deaf individuals.

A researcher with a hearing impairment and experience in working with people with hearing impairments was consulted on study design and interview questions. Recruitment was assisted by Auslan interpreter agencies and a Deaf Community Facebook group.

We used a series of biochemical, bioinformatics, and theoretical experiments to investigate the mechanism of the first diterpene synthase known to form the eunicellane skeleton. Deuterium labeling studies and quantum chemical calculations support that Bnd4, from Streptomyces sp. (CL12-4), forms the 6,10-bicyclic skeleton through a 1,10cyclization, 1,3-hydride shift, and 1,14-cyclization cascade. Bnd4 also demonstrated sesquiterpene cyclase activity and the ability to prenylate small molecules. Bnd4 possesses a unique D 94 NxxxD motif and mutation experiments confirmed an absolute requirement for D94 as well as E169.Loma psittaca, previously described as inhabiting the intestinal mucosa of an anadromous fish, Colomesus pisttacus, from the Amazon Basin, is reported as being found for the first time in a marine fish, the hybrid grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus♂×Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀), from Lingshui city, Hainan Province, China, expanding the geographical distribution and host range of this parasite. Numerous whitish xenomas (0.5-0.7 mm in diameter) of this new isolate of L. psittaca were found distinctly in the muscle layer of the host stomach wall. Electron microscopic observations showed a monokaryotic nucleus in all developmental stages. Round or elongated multinucleate merogonial plasmodia surrounded by numerous mitochondria were observed initially, subsequently transforming into uninucleate sporonts through multiple fissions. Sporonts, each with a large centrally positioned nucleus, further developed into sporoblasts. Each sporoblast mother cell gave rise to two uninucleate sporoblasts by binary fission. Mature spores were ellipsoidal, measuring 4.
