Most research evaluating relationships between social network attributes and loneliness have focused on older adult and adolescent networks. The present study examines the relationships between social network size (number of relationships), social network density (whether named relationships are connected to one another) and maternal loneliness during pregnancy.
Eligible women were enrolled at the time of their dating ultrasound (between 8 and 12weeks of gestation). Interested women provided written consent and completed demographic, social network and loneliness measures. Participants completed the same surveys in their third trimester. Mixed-regression models, adjusted for age, race, ethnicity, and insurance type, were used to assess the relationship between social network size, network density, and loneliness.
A total of 94 pregnant women (mean age = 23.77, 70.2% Black, 87.2% public insurance) completed baseline study measures, and 60 participants completed both assessment time points. Completers and non-completers did not differ on key characteristics. Social network density, but not social network size, predicted maternal loneliness ([Formula see text]= -1.27, 95% CI -2.53, -0.01, p = 0.0489) in the first and third trimester.
These findings indicate that pregnant women's social network density may be more intimately related to feelings of loneliness than the objective number of relationships. This knowledge can begin to inform the design of supportive approaches to improve women's health.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) participate in less physical activity (PA) and more sedentary behavior than their peers without ASD.
The study employed Chi-square analyses of the NSCH 2016-2017 data to compare PA, TV/video watching/gaming, and usage of portable electronic devices by children with and without ASD by age and ASD severity.
Results suggest more than two and a half times as many children 6-11 and 12-17years old with ASD failed to engage in 60min of PA during the past week compared to peers without ASD. As children aged, their PA time decreased, with a larger percentage drop for children with ASD. For children ages 6-11years, an inverse relationship was found between PA and ASD severity that was not found for older children. As the children got older, children with ASD spent more time watching TV/video watching/gaming than peers without ASD, with differing results by ASD severity. More children Birth to 5years ASD used portable electronic devices than their peers without ASD and more young children with ASD used devices for 3 or more hours a day. Roughly the same proportions of children 12-17years old used devices for more than 3h a day but differential results were found between children with and without ASD for less than 1h of device use.
These data can be used to advocate for individualized PA interventions and services to increase PA and decrease sedentary behaviors of children with ASD.

Considering the importance of blood as access rout to the systemic distribution of this toxicant to the organism as well as functions performed by it, this study aimed to investigate the effects of HgCl2 on the peripheral blood of rats, evaluating the oxidative biochemistry, blood count, and morphology of cell populations. For this, 20 adult Wistar male rats were divided into control (n = 10) and exposed (n = 10) groups and received distilled water or HgCl2 at a dose of 0.375 mg/kg for 45 days, respectively, through intragastric gavage. Then, the animals were euthanized and the blood was collected for total mercury (Hg) levels determination, complete blood and reticulocyte count, oxidative biochemistry by Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC), reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and nitric oxide (NO), in blood cells and plasma. Long-term exposure increased total Hg in plasma and blood cells. In blood cells, only TEAC has decreased; in plasma, the HgCl2 increased TBARS and NO levels, followed by a decrease in TEAC and GSH levels. There were no quantitative changes in reticulocytes, erythrocytes, and hemoglobin; however, the number of leukocytes have increased and platelets have decreased. TAE684 suggest that even in the face of low toxicity when compared with other mercury species, HgCl2 at low doses is able to modulate the systemic redox balance and affect some blood cell populations.The fabrication of a nanointerfaced electrochemical immunosensor is described for the rapid determination of cystatin C, a biomarker that is elevated in diabetic retinopathy. A dispersion of graphene oxide-chitosan (GO-Chit) nanocomposite was used to modify the carbon working electrode, allowing for a high conjugation of anti-cystatin C antibody. This modified sensor was characterized both morphologically and electrochemically, and the sensor performance was evaluated towards selective quantification of cystatin C in simulated as well as serum samples using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The sensor was able to detect cystatin C in the concentration range1 - 10 mg/L with a detection limit of 0.0078 mg/L. The preparation time of the sensor was 420 s, which was faster than that of conventional ELISA and other electrochemical sensors reported in literature. The clinical applicability of the proposed electrochemical biosensor was demonstrated through quantification of cystatin C in human serum samples and identification of diabetic retinopathy.
