Social lockdowns associated with COVID-19 have led individuals to increasingly rely on video conferencing and other technology-based interactions to fulfil social needs. The extent to which these interactions, as well as traditional face-to-face interactions, satisfied psychological needs and supported wellbeing during different periods of the COVID-19 pandemic is yet to be elucidated. In this study, university students' social interactions (both technology-based and face-to-face), psychological needs, and wellbeing were assessed at six time points across four months of government-enforced restrictions in Australia.

Repeated survey assessment.

Basic psychological need satisfaction; general wellbeing.

Results demonstrated that, at the within-subjects level, relatedness satisfaction (feeling understood by, cared for, and connected to others) significantly mediated the relationship between technology-based interaction and wellbeing. Autonomy satisfaction (self-initiation and feeling ownership over decisions and behaviours) mediated the relationship between face-to-face interactions and wellbeing at the within-person level.

Discussion is centred on the importance of technology-based interactions for needs satisfaction and wellbeing during periods of social isolation.

To describe and explain peoples' developing threat appraisal and representations of the novel illness COVID-19 over the first months of the pandemic. The Common-Sense Model of illness perceptions provided the theoretical framework.

A cross-sectional study with 511 respondents and a follow-up study 4 months later on 422 respondents completing an online survey measuring demographic factors, media consumption, self-assessed health, experience with the disease, health anxiety, COVID-19 threat, worries and cognitive and emotional illness representations.

Health anxiety, media consumption, female gender, lower self-assessed health, knowing a deceased COVID-19 patient and being infected explained variance in threat appraisal. Worries represented 2 factors psychosocial and existential. Threat appraisal and worries explained variance in illness representations. Sodium hydroxide nmr Representations of the disease worsened and started stabilizing over time. Emotional representations were exceptionally stable and explainable by threat appraisals.

These studies revealed the initial stages of developing representations of a new disease in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gaining insights into those representations is key to understanding, predicting and modifying behavioral and mental responses to the pandemic.

The former epochal term was never formally claimed, and although evidencing creative thinking by Désormeaux himself, production was a poorly acknowledged but seemingly close collaboration with two leading Parisian instrument makers Maison Chevalier for the optical parts and Maison Charrière for the accessory catheter.

To identify differences between asymptote- and rate-based methods for estimating age and size at growth cessation in linear craniofacial measurements.

This is a retrospective, longitudinal study. Five linear measurements were collected from lateral cephalograms as part of the Craniofacial Growth Consortium Study (CGCS). Four estimates of growth cessation, including 2 asymptote- (GC

, GC

) and 2 rate-based (GC

, GC

) methods, from double logistic models of craniofacial growth were compared.

Cephalometric data from participants in 6 historic longitudinal growth studies were included in the CGCS. At least 1749 individuals (870 females, 879 males), unaffected by craniofacial anomalies, were included in all analyses. Individuals were represented by a median of 11 images between 2.5 and 31.3 years of age.

GC

consistently occurred before GC

and GC

within the rate-based approaches. The ordering of the asymptote-based methods compared to the rate-based methods was nore provide useful estimates of growth cessation that can be applied to raw data and to a variety of statistical models of craniofacial growth.Intraplacental hepatic nodules are extremely rare and range from incidentally identified microscopic nodules to large mass-forming lesions. We describe the case of an incidentally identified intraparenchymal hepatic nodule in the placenta from a near-term delivery of a male infant at 36 weeks gestation. Lesional cells were positive for HepPar1, focally positive for glypican3, and negative for calretinin and alpha-fetoprotein, supportive of hepatocellular origin. Fluorescence in-situ hybridization and chromosomal microarray both showed a male sex chromosome complement (XY) within the nodule, confirming the fetal origin of this nodule. We provide the first report of the confirmed fetal origin of these rare lesions, lending support to the hypothesis that placental hepatic nodules may represent an embryonal rest or residua of abnormal cell migration.Background Beside others, neuroinhibitory and sedative effects of CBD were documented. Aim and Methods The aim of the study was to assess the dose-related effects of CBD premedication on the course of isoflurane anesthesia. Wistar rats were pretreated with different doses of CBD 1 h before isoflurane anesthesia. In the pretreatment, animals were given CBD at doses of 100, 20, 10, or 2 mg kg-1. Before the fifth (control) anesthesia, the animals were given only mid-chain triglyceride oil, which served as a solvent in the CBD formulation. The induction time was determined, and on awakening, the time to appearance of the flexion reflex and the recovery from anesthesia were determined. Results Statistical analysis showed a significantly shorter induction time if animals were pretreated with 20 mg kg-1 CBD. In addition, pretreatment with 100 mg kg-1 CBD resulted in a prolonged induction time, while on awakening, delayed appearance of reflexes and prolonged recovery from anesthesia compared to pretreatment with 20 mg kg-1 CBD were observed.
