Without research designed to study interventions for diverse populations, disparities in the quality of services will persist. A systematic review of articles evaluating couple and family therapy (CFT) interventions was conducted to evaluate the representation of diverse populations. More specifically, researchers sought to examine race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, income level, and age of sample participants. One hundred ninety-six studies evaluating CFT interventions in the United States in ten journals were included in the analysis. Findings indicate that family therapy research is more representative of racial minority and low-income participants compared with studies of couple interventions. Couple therapy research is often still conducted with predominately white, middle- to high-income samples. Following whites, African Americans and Hispanic/Latinos were the most common racial/ethnic groups included in both couple therapy research and family therapy research. Participants in same-sex relationships were absent from family intervention research and under-researched in couple intervention studies. Only one couple therapy study recruited a sample in which the average age was late adulthood. These findings are cause for concern given the widening mental health disparities in the United States.Substrate concentrations greatly influence bacterial growth and metabolism. However, optimal nitrogen concentrations for anammox bacteria in nitrogen-limited environments remain unclear. Here, we observed enhanced nitrogen metabolism and anabolism of anammox bacteria at low-nitrogen conditions. Efficient nitrogen removal was achieved at ammonium and nitrite influent concentration of 30 mg/L under HRT of 1h, with an average nitrogen removal rate (NRR) of 0.73 kg N/(m3 ·d) in I-ABR composed of four compartments. The highest anammox activity of 6.25 mmol N/ (gVSS·h) was observed in the fourth compartment (C4) with the lowest substrate levels (ammonium and nitrite of 11.6 mg/L and 7 mg/L). 3AP This could be resulted from the highest expression level of genes involved in nitrogen metabolism in C4, which was 1.49-1.67 times higher than that in other compartments. Besides, the second compartment (C2) exhibited the most active anabolism at ammonium and nitrite of 17 mg/L and 13 mg/L, respectively, which contributed to the most active amino acid synthesis and thus the highest EPS (1.35 times higher) in C2. This enhanced amino acid auxotrophy between anammox bacteria with heterotrophs, and consequently, heterotrophs thrived and competed for nitrite. These results hint at the potential application of anammox process in micro-polluted water. Health care professionals' knowledge and attitudes may have an impact on older persons' nutritional status. Therefore, it is important to explore different health care professionals' perspectives on older persons' meals. The aim of this study was to describe health care professionals' understanding of and views on the mealtime experience of older persons in municipal care. Seven focus group discussions with various health care professionals (nurse assistants, registered nurses and occupational therapists) (n=52) working in nursing homes and/or home care for older persons were conducted and analysed using interpretive description. The COREQ checklist was used for reporting the findings. The results revealed a striving to create conditions for an appealing meal, regardless of profession. This overall theme, "An appealing meal - creating conditions for older persons' mealtimes", consisted of four sub-themes "Food is crucial", "The mealtime as a social interaction", "Identifying the individual older persocation. Education on older person's nutritional needs should be team-based, and not focus on the perspective of a single profession. To evaluate the presence of bacteria in permanent teeth with intact crowns (without caries, periodontal disease or dental trauma) in patients with sickle cell anaemia (HbSS genotype) by analysing their clinical, imaging and microbiological parameters. This is a case series study nested in a cohort. In the first follow-up of this cohort study (Journal of Endodontics, 2013, 39, 177), 10 HbSS patients with at least one tooth with an intact crown and clinically diagnosed with pulp necrosis by pulse oximetry adapted for dentistry and a cold pulp sensitivity test (n=27 teeth) were selected. Changes in the pulp chamber, root and periodontal ligament were identified in the tomographic analysis. Bacterial culture, staining for live and dead bacteria, and real-time polymerase chain reaction with 16S rRNA primers were used to identify the presence of bacteria. Culture sample collection was performed immediately after access to the pulp chamber. The microbiome was analysed with a MiSeq sequencer (Illumina, San Diego, CA). The diagnosis of pulp necrosis was confirmed clinically in 82% (22/27) of the teeth. The amount of bacterial load identified was less than 100copiesμL in 23% (5/22) of the teeth with intact crowns and pulp necrosis. Thirteen bacterial species were identified that are commonly found in urinary tract infections, septicaemia and infective endocarditis. Only one of these species, Granulicatella adjacens, has also be found in primary endodontic infections. Prospective clinical, imaging and microbiological analyses suggest that pulp necrosis of teeth with intact crowns in HbSS patients is not associated with the presence of bacteria.Prospective clinical, imaging and microbiological analyses suggest that pulp necrosis of teeth with intact crowns in HbSS patients is not associated with the presence of bacteria.To explore the association between perceived stress and quality of life (QoL) and the mediating role of general self-efficacy and social support in this association. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common metabolic diseases suffered by pregnant women. Women with previous GDM may experience more medical-related stress and have a lower QoL than those without it. A multisite correlational study. Four hundred sixty-five women with previous GDM living in rural areas in China participated in this study from November 2017 to June 2019. The participants completed a set of self-reported socio-demographic questionnaires, the Perceived Stress Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Social Support Rating Scale and the World Health Organization QoL assessment (Brief version). STROBE checklist was used as the guideline for this study. The mean QoL score was 13.97 (SD 2.07) for physical health, 13.75 (SD 1.98) for psychological health, 14.96 (SD 1.99) for social relations and 12.49 (SD 1.74) for environmental conditions.
