Structural racism-the ways that institutional policies, practices, and other norms operate to create and sustain race-based inequities1-has historically been foundational to the operations of academic medical centers and research institutions. Since its inception, academic medicine has depended on the exploitation of vulnerable communities to achieve medical, educational, and research goals.2 Research practices have long ignored or taken advantage of the individuals purportedly benefiting from the research, a dynamic most manifestly true for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities in the United States. Reflecting current practices in racial justice work, we intentionally use the term "BIPOC" to highlight shared experiences within racially and ethnically minoritized communities, given the history of white supremacy in the United States. We acknowledge limitations of this term, which collapses myriad unique communities and histories into 1 construct. Specifically, child and adolescent psychiatry has historically been driven by Eurocentric approaches, paradigms, and methodology. These nonparticipatory dominant research practices have contributed to a lack of culturally responsive interventions for BIPOC communities, a paucity of evidence-based practices with demonstrated effectiveness within BIPOC communities, and disparities in access and quality of care.3 Mental health research involving BIPOC communities has been replete with exploitation and inequality.2.

The effectiveness of the forest height inversion methods using polarimetric SAR interferometry data is affected by the estimation accuracy of ground phase, volume only coherence and model prediction for forest canopy layer. Finding the forest model that considers the effects of the signal penetration in the forest medium as well as optimum volume coherence, which is an important purpose of the forest inversion method. This paper suggests a novel inversion algorithm to increase the accuracy of forest height estimation as well as ground phase estimation based on mean of coherence set. For this purpose, an adaptive total least square line fit is proposed to estimate the ground phase and coherence line. Then, the combination between the VE-RVoG model and an optimization volume only coherence algorithm based on mean coherence set and polarization signature is developed to find more accurate forest parameter values. The proposed algorithm applies forest height estimation using L-band PolInSAR data acquired by PolSARProSim software, spaceborne SIR-C and UAVSAR system. The method was further validated by using UAV L-band PolInSARata and the reference data of LiDAR canopy height model over rainforest Lope National Park, Gabon. Results showed that RMSE of results approximate 2.91 m and R2 is 0.909. The obtained results demonstrate the potential of proposed method in forest parameters estimation.

Background: Trials of fluoxetine for recovery after stroke report conflicting results. The Assessment oF FluoxetINe In sTroke recoverY (AFFINITY) trial aimed to show if daily oral fluoxetine for 6 months after stroke improves functional outcome in an ethnically diverse population.Methods: AFFINITY was a randomised, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial done in 43 hospital stroke units in Australia (n=29), New Zealand (four), and Vietnam (ten). Eligible patients were adults (aged ≥18 years) with a clinical diagnosis of acute stroke in the previous 2–15 days, brain imaging consistent with ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke, and a persisting neurological deficit that produced a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 1 or more. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 via a web-based system using a minimisation algorithm to once daily, oral fluoxetine 20 mg capsules or matching placebo for 6 months. Patients, carers, investigators, and outcome assessors were masked to the treatment allocation. The primary outcome was functional status, measured by the mRS, at 6 months. The primary analysis was an ordinal logistic regression of the mRS at 6 months, adjusted for minimisation variables. Primary and safety analyses were done according to the patient's treatment allocation. The trial is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, ACTRN12611000774921.Findings: Between Jan 11, 2013, and June 30, 2019, 1280 patients were recruited in Australia (n=532), New Zealand (n=42), and Vietnam (n=706), of whom 642 were randomly assigned to fluoxetine and 638 were randomly assigned to placebo. Mean duration of trial treatment was 167 days (SD 48·1). At 6 months, mRS data were available in 624 (97%) patients in the fluoxetine group and 632 (99%) in the placebo group. The distribution of mRS categories was similar in the fluoxetine and placebo groups (adjusted common odds ratio 0·94, 95% CI 0·76–1·15; p=0·53). Compared with patients in the placebo group, patients in the fluoxetine group had more falls (20 [3%] vs seven [1%]; p=0·018), bone fractures (19 [3%] vs six [1%]; p=0·014), and epileptic seizures (ten [2%] vs two [Interpretation: Oral fluoxetine 20 mg daily for 6 months after acute stroke did not improve functional outcome and increased the risk of falls, bone fractures, and epileptic seizures. These results do not support the use of fluoxetine to improve functional outcome after stroke.Funding: National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia.

Although suicide is the main cause of maternal death during pregnancy in industrialized countries, there are few research regarding the prevalence and risk factors of suicidal ideation during pregnancy, especially in Spain.In a multicenter study, the sample included 1,524 pregnant women recruited from an obstetrics setting from two Spanish tertiary-care public hospitals. The prevalence of prenatal suicidal ideation was estimated by analyzing their responses to item 9 on the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). The risk factors (which increases the probability of having suicidal ideation) included sociodemographic and biomedical variables, and the stress subscale from the revised prenatal version of the Postpartum Depression Predictors Inventory (PDPI-R).A total of 2.6% of pregnant women reported suicidal ideation. Risk factors of suicidal ideation during pregnancy include sociodemographic, such as prior history of depression (β = 0.120, p .05), unemployment (β = 0.149, p .05), and being an immigrant (β = 0.140, p .01), and biomedical variables, such as previous abortion (β =0.169, p .01) and assisted reproduction (β = -0.100, p .05).Given that the prevalence of suicidal ideation is higher than expected, the results of the study suggest the critical need for screening and designing preventive interventions adapted to pregnant women to decrease risk of associated suicidal behavior. In protocols carried out by midwives, specific risk factors should be included in health screenings during pregnancy.

Objective To evaluate psychometric properties and the factor structure of the Spanish version of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) in pregnant women received care in an urban public hospital in Spain. Research design/setting In a cross-sectional study, the reliability and factor structure were examined. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to examine the latent structure of the PHQ-9 with a pregnant Spanish-speaking sample ( n = 445) recruited during the first trimester in an obstetrics clinic in Madrid. Measurements and findings The Spanish version of PHQ-9 had moderate internal consistency ( α = 0.81). Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor (cognitive-affective, somatic) and three-factor (cognitive-affective, somatic, pregnancy-related) structure of the PHQ-9, whereas confirmatory factor analyses support a three-factor model (cognitive-affective, somatic, pregnancy-related) as the best fit to the data. Key Conclusions The Spanish version of PHQ-9 is reliable and can be used to screen for depression during pregnancy. A three-factor model structure is adequate to evaluate the components and symptoms of depression for Spanish pregnant women. Implication for practice Midwives can screen for depression during the PHQ-9 and can tailor interventions to minimize the adverse effects on mothers and infants, before and after birth.

Imaging characteristics of wavefront coding systems in the presence of spherical aberration are analyzed by using ray aberration approach. The analytical expressions for ray aberration, the boundary of ray map and the size of spot diagram of a wavefront coding system in the presence of defocus and spherical aberration are obtained by wave aberration theory. The effect of spherical aberration on imaging performance of wavefront coding systems with a cubic phase mask is presented by ray aberration and spot diagram. The results show that the wavefront coding systems have a high tolerance to spherical aberration through a given defocus range.

There is growing evidence that preterm birth is a risk factor for early heart failure as a result of cardiac remodeling during a critical period of growth and development. The aim of this study was to explore if cardiac remodeling can be detected very early after preterm birth, and if present, if those remodeling changes persist until discharge.Echocardiography parameters of left ventricular geometry and function were prospectively obtained with echocardiography in preterm infants30 weeks gestation at postnatal day 3 and at 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA). Findings were compared to available data of healthy fetuses and cardiac remodeling was classified based on changes in left ventricular volume and/or mass.65 (37 male) preterm infants were analysed. Three days after birth, 27.7% of infants had abnormal LV geometry, with immaturity and fetal growth restriction as risk factors for these early cardiac remodeling changes. At 36 weeks PMA, after a median period of 9 weeks of neonatal intensive care, 69.2% had abnormal cardiac geometry which could be classified as dilated hypertrophic remodeling (50.0%), dilated remodeling (11.5%) and hypertrophic remodeling (7.7%).Cardiac remodeling changes can be detected very early after preterm birth. However, most changes take place during the neonatal intensive care period. The findings of this study could assist in identifying a group where an early and short-term intervention has the potential to prevent a pathway of abnormal cardiac development.

Extend-the-depth-of-field imaging can be achieved by wavefront coding technique, which inserts an odd symmetrical phase mask into the pupil plane to generate the invariant imaging property over a wide range of defocus. Obtaining the low sensibility to defocus for wavefront coding systems depends on designing a proper phase profile. Here we proposed a phase mask combining the power function with the square-root function to maximize the invariant imaging property to defocus. Judging by defocused modulation transfer function (MTF) and Hilbert space angle, numerical comparisons with the cubic mask, exponential mask and improved logarithmic mask prove the superiority of proposed square-root phase mask in extending the depth of field.

We investigated the influence exerted by the aerodynamic heating of the faceted dome on imaging quality degradation of an airborne optical system. Optical transmission through the faceted dome was simulated using the ray-tracing program based on a recursive algorithm. To validate the ray-tracing program, a ray trace through the homogeneous faceted dome was performed. The program was shown to possess great accuracy. Three kinds of imaging quality evaluation parameters were presented, wave aberration of the exit pupil, point spread function and modulation transfer function. The results show that the aerodynamic heating of the faceted dome significantly affects the airborne optical system.

The purpose of the current study was to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of three depression screening tools among a low-income African American population of pregnant and recently delivered women enrolled in home visitation programs in a low-income urban community.Ninety-five women enrolled in home visitation programs-32 who were pregnant and 63 with a child6 months comprise the study sample. Each woman completed a structured clinical interview and three depression screening tools-the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II).Over a quarter of women (28.4%) were experiencing major depression. Each screening tool was highly accurate in detecting major depression and major or minor depression among prenatal and postpartum women, with areas under the curve (AUCs)0.90. Sensitivities of all screening tools were improved when using cutoffs lower than those considered standard by instrument developers.Participants were recruited from home visitation programs in an urban context which may limit generalizability to other populations of low-income African American women. Given that no women during pregnancy met criteria for minor depression, it was not possible to determine optimal prenatal cutoff scores.Three depression screening tools-the EPDS, CES-D, and BDI-II-appear to be reliable and brief assessments of major and minor depression among low-income African American perinatal women. Providers using these tools should consider using lower cutoff scores to most effectively identify women in need of depression treatment.

Levels of 27 transcripts were investigated as potential novel markers for prostate cancer, including genes encoding plasma membrane proteins (ADAM2, ELOVL5, MARCKSL1, RAMP1, TMEM30A, and TMEM66); secreted proteins (SPON2, TMEM30A, TMEM66, and truncated TMEFF2 (called POP4)); intracellular proteins (CAMK2N1, DHCR24, GLO1, NGFRAP1, PGK1, PSMA7, SBDS, and YWHAQ); and noncoding transcripts (POP1 (100 kb) from mRNA AK000023), POP2 (4 kb from mRNA AL832227), POP3 (50 kb from EST CFI40309), POP5 (intron of NCAM2, accession DO668384), POP6 (intron of FHIT), POP7 (intron of TNFAIP8), POP8 (intron of EFNA5), POP9 (intron of DSTN), POP10 (intron of ADAM2, accession DO668396), POP11 (87kb from EST BG194644), and POP12 (intron of EST BQ226050)). Expression of POP3 was prostate specific, whereas ADAM2, POP1, POP4, POP10, ELOVL5, RAMP1, and SPON2 had limited tissue expression. ELOVL5, MARCKSL1, NGFRAP1, PGK1, POP2, POP5, POP8, PSMA7, RAMP1, and SPON2 were significantly differentially expressed between laser microdissected malignant versus benign clinical samples of prostate tissue. PGK1, POP2, and POP12 correlated to clinical parameters. Levels of CAMK2N1, GLO1, SDBS, and TMEM30A transcripts tended to be increased in primary prostate cancer from patients who later had biochemical failure. Expression of GLO1, DHCR24, NGFRAP1, KLK3, and RAMP1 were significantly decreased in metastatic castration-recurrent disease compared with androgen-dependent primary prostate cancer. These novel potential biomarkers may therefore be useful in the diagnosis/prognosis of prostate cancer.

Differential scanning calorimetry and high temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry are used to study enthalpy of phase transition and enthalpies of formation of Cu2P2O7 and Cu3(P2O6OH)2. α-Cu2P2O7 is reversibly transformed to β-Cu2P2O7 at 338–363 K with an enthalpy of phase transition of 0.15 ± 0.03 kJ mol−1. Enthalpies of formation from oxides of α-Cu2P2O7 and Cu3(P2O6OH)2 are −279.0 ± 1.4 kJ mol−1 and −538.8 ± 2.7 kJ mol−1, and their standard enthalpies of formation (enthalpy of formation from elements) are −2096.1 ± 4.3 kJ mol−1 and −4302.7 ± 6.7 kJ mol−1, respectively. The presence of hydrogen in diphosphate groups changes the geometry of Cu(II) and decreases acid–base interaction between oxide components in Cu3(P2O6OH)2, thus decreasing its thermodynamic stability.

Alkali and ammonium cobalt and zinc phosphates show extensive polymorphism. Thermal behavior, relative stabilities, and enthalpies of formation of KCoPO{sub 4}, RbCoPO{sub 4}, NH{sub 4}CoPO{sub 4}, and NH{sub 4}ZnPO{sub 4} polymorphs are studied by differential scanning calorimetry, high-temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry, and acid solution calorimetry. {alpha}-KCoPO{sub 4} and {gamma}-KCoPO{sub 4} are very similar in enthalpy. {gamma}-KCoPO{sub 4} slowly transforms to {alpha}-KCoPO{sub 4} near 673 K. The high-temperature phase, {beta}-KCoPO{sub 4}, is 5-7 kJ mol{sup -1} higher in enthalpy than {alpha}-KCoPO{sub 4} and {gamma}-KCoPO{sub 4}. HEX phases of NH{sub 4}CoPO{sub 4} and NH{sub 4}ZnPO{sub 4} are about 3 kJ mol{sup -1} lower in enthalpy than the corresponding ABW phases. There is a strong relationship between enthalpy of formation from oxides and acid-base interaction for cobalt and zinc phosphates and also for aluminosilicates with related frameworks. Cobalt and zinc phosphates exhibit similar trends in enthalpies of formation from oxides as aluminosilicates, but their enthalpies of formation from oxides are more exothermic because of their stronger acid-base interactions. Enthalpies of formation from ammonia and oxides of NH{sub 4}CoPO{sub 4} and NH{sub 4}ZnPO{sub 4} are similar, reflecting the similar basicity of CoO and ZnO. - Graphical abstract: Relationship between enthalpy of formation frommore » oxides and acid-base interaction for cobalt phosphates, zinc phosphates, and aluminosilicates with related frameworks.

Differential scanning calorimetry and high temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry were used to study the enthalpy of the {alpha}-{beta} phase transformation of NaZnPO{sub 4} and enthalpies of formation of {alpha}-NaZnPO{sub 4}, NaH(ZnPO{sub 4}){sub 2}, NaZnPO{sub 4}.H{sub 2}O, and NaCo{sub x}Zn{sub 1-x}PO{sub 4}.4/3 H{sub 2}O (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3). The enthalpies of formation from the oxides of cobalt substituted in NaZnPO{sub 4}.4/3 H{sub 2}O do not depend on cobalt content, confirming similar acid-base interactions for Zn-PO{sub 4} and Co-PO{sub 4}. While water molecules stabilize zinc phosphate frameworks through solvating a cation or forming extra hydrogen bonds, the partial substitution of water for sodium oxide to form NaH(ZnPO{sub 4}){sub 2} represents the formation of an acidic compound with weaker acid-base interactions and less exothermic enthalpy of formation from oxides than Na{sub 2}(ZnPO{sub 4}){sub 2}. - Graphical abstract: Relative stability of NaZnPO{sub 4} dense phases, open frameworks, and hydrated frameworks.

A prenatal intervention designed to prevent the onset of major depressive episodes (MDEs) during pregnancy and postpartum was pilot tested at a public sector women’s clinic. The Mamas y Bebes/ Mothers and Babies Course is an intervention developed in Spanish and English that uses a cognitive-behavioral mood management framework, and incorporates social learning concepts, attachment theory, and socio-cultural issues. The four goals of this project were to develop the intervention, assess its acceptability, test the feasibility of conducting a randomized trial with public sector patients, and obtain estimates of its effect size. Forty-one pregnant women at high risk for developing MDEs were randomized to the Mothers and Babies Course ( n = 21) or a comparison condition ( n = 20). Assessments occurred during pregnancy and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postpartum. Differences in terms of depression symptom levels or incidence of MDEs between the two groups did not reach statistical significance in this pilot trial. However, the MDE incidence rates of 14% for the intervention condition versus 25% for the comparison condition represent a small effect size ( h = 0.28) that will be further examined in a larger scale study. The intervention was well received by the participants and implementation of a randomized trial appeared quite feasible as indicated by our follow-up rate of 91% at 12 months. Implications for the continuing development of preventive interventions for perinatal depression are discussed.

Multicomponent Mo/V/Nb/Te oxide catalysts were synthesized using physical vapor deposition (PVD) onto the substrates of Si wafers and of honeycomb cordierites. The PVD films were prepared at different metal deposition sequences and were subsequently calcined at different temperatures and environment (air or N 2 ). The PVD films on Si wafer were characterized using several surface techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). In parallel, PVD films on cordierites were evaluated in a fixed-bed reactor for the selective oxidation of propane to acrylic acid. The combined synthesis, characterization, and reactor studies provided clear evidence that the surface compositions and the catalytic properties of the Mo/V/Nb/Te oxide catalysts depend strongly on the metal deposition sequence, calcination temperature, and calcination environment.

This pilot study examined whether giving stress reduction (SR) instructions to pregnant women would be effective in regulating stress, mood, and cortisol levels during pregnancy. Forty-one predominantly low-income Latina women, receiving prenatal services at a public county hospital, completed measures of stress and mood (depressive symptoms, positive and negative affect) and provided morning and evening saliva samples to measure cortisol prior to and after receiving SR instructions. We hypothesized that adherence to these SR instructions would result in lower levels of stress, negative mood states, and cortisol levels when compared to baseline values. Repeated measures ANOVA analyses demonstrated significantly lower levels of stress (P0.001), lower symptoms of depression and negative affect (P0.001), and lower levels of morning cortisol (P = 0.01) under the SR condition, compared to baseline. Health behaviors that were engaged in during the SR condition and implications for prenatal health interventions are discussed.

This article is a response to Coyne, Thompson, Palmer, Kagee, and Maunsell's (2000) article, “Should We Screen for Depression? Caveats and Potential Pitfalls.” We address four points that we view as central to their argument: (1) current screening measures are inadequate; (2) correct identification of depressed patients does not result in improved clinical outcomes; (3) screening is too expensive; and (4) screening may have harmful negative effects. We discuss the following important issues: (1) screening and prevention are still in the research and development phase; (2) the kindling phenomenon is an important reason to screen; (3) there is a need to focus screening and prevention efforts on ethnic minorities; and (4) high depressive symptoms have a substantial public health impact. Finally, we present reasons why screening is advisable, both for prevention and treatment purposes, and provide our recommendations. Our stance is that, in order for screening and prevention to become practical, they need to be implemented in both research and practice contexts. Therefore, we should make screening for major depression a priority.
