Although most participants were reticent about sharing their serodiscordant status with family and friends (individual and interpersonal), those who did found their family and friends supportive (interpersonal). Participants suggested increasing community health agent availability to help people navigate HIV prevention and treatment (organizational). We then created three oral stories, using themes from the interviews, with examples from various levels of the socioecological model that will be used to generate support for PrEP use among community members.

Our findings informed oral template stories that will be used to emphasize how couples can work together to improve PrEP uptake and reduce incident HIV infections in serodiscordant couples elsewhere in rural Mozambique.

To design the intervention, the constructs of theory of planned behavior in 170 consistent blood donors were measured. Persuasive messages were developed, and some printed materials were prepared to transfer the message to the target segment. The trend of the percentage of consistent blood donors was measured during the first four months after the intervention. see more The percentage of consistent blood donors was increased significantly. The findings showed the effectiveness of the social marketing interventions for blood donation.

This pilot study assessed clinical outcomes and quality care for persons with dementia in an acute hospital with PCC, compared with usual care.

Forty-seven consented persons 60years and over with dementia were assigned to PCC (n=26) or usual care (control) (n=21). Hospital nurses and allied health staff received 3 h of face-to-face education in PCC, and practice support by four PCC-trained nurse champions. Control group staff received 3 h of face-to-face education on dementia and delirium care clinical guidelines. Primary outcomes behavioral/neuropsychiatric symptoms and care quality were analyzed based on repeated measures at baseline (Time 1), 4-5days after baseline (Time 2) and day 8-10 after baseline (Time 3) where available.

Compared with controls, at Time 2 PCC produced statistically significant improvements in behavioral/neuropsychiatric symptoms (adjusted

=.036) and care quality (adjusted

=.044). Where length of stay exceeded 8days after baseline (Time 3), there was a sustained improvement in quality care (

=.007), but not in behavioral/neuropsychiatric symptoms (

=.27).

PCC can improve care quality for persons with dementia; nursing; agitation; paid caregivers with dementia and reduce behavioral/neuropsychiatric symptoms during short hospital stays.

Hospital systems need to support PCC to reduce behavioral/neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia during long hospital stays.

A total of 152 pineapple farmers (92 males and 60 females) participated in the study. Data were collected using a pre-tested structured schedule and a standard Nordic questionnaire through personal interviews followed by direct observation. Chi-square (χ2) analysis and multiple logistic regression were conducted using SPSS software 16.0 to explore the association of various independent factors and their influences on the musculoskeletal symptoms (MSS) scores. The study revealed that a majority (>85%) of the pineapple farmers in northeast India had low to medium annual income, with more than 95% of the farmers belonging to small and marginal categories. Moreover, MSS were highly prevalent among the farmers (79.61%), and the low-back (76.32%) was the most affected body part. The results of the Chi-square (χ2) analysis highlighted that age, education level, and farming experience were significantly associated (p less then 0.05) with the prevalence of overall MSS among the pineapple farmers. Among the factors, only age and gender significantly influenced the risk of complaints for the farmers' neck (OR = 6.62, 95% CI 1.29-34.02, p ≤ 0.05) and low back (OR = 2.54, 95% CI 1.00-6.47, p ≤ 0.05). This study's findings demonstrated the need for the urgent exploration of sustainable and innovative interventions to reduce the occurrence of MSS and improve the working conditions of the pineapple farmers in northeast India.An overdose of isoniazid (INH) is potentially fatal and attempts at suicide are very rare in children. Three patients aged 14-17 years who were receiving INH for tuberculosis prophylaxis were admitted to the emergency department with generalised tonic-clonic seizures. There was metabolic acidosis and elevated levels of blood creatine kinase, aminotransferases and lactate dehydrogenase following ingestion of excess INH in attempts at suicide. The presumed total amounts of INH ingested were 3 g (40 mg/kg), 9 g (160 mg/kg) and 6 g (100 mg/kg), respectively. They all improved with general supportive measures including airway protection, gastric lavage, activated charcoal administration, sodium bicarbonate infusion, fluid replacement, seizure control and pyridoxine administration. They were discharged without complications. Attempts to commit suicide by excess intake of INH is rare in children but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute intractable seizures and metabolic acidosis refractory to conventional anticonvulsant therapy in adolescents.We investigated the effects of different types of smiles on the perception of uncooperative or untrustworthy behaviour. In five studies, participants assigned to one group played an economic game with a representative of another group. In an initial round, the representative acted uncooperatively by favouring their group and then displayed a dominance, reward, or affiliation smile. Participants rated the motives of the representative and played a second round of the game with a different member of the same outgroup. Following uncooperative or untrustworthy behaviour, affiliation smiles communicated less positivity and superiority, and a greater desire to both repair the relationship between groups and change the uncooperative decision than reward or dominance smiles. Perceptions of a desire to repair the relationship and to change the decision were associated with trust and cooperation in a subsequent round of the game. Together, these findings show that smiles that are subtly different in their morphology can convey different messages and highlight the importance of these expressions in influencing the perceptions of others' intentions.
