Several studies have reported an association between temporomandibular disorder pain (TMD-P) and emotional disorders in children and adolescents. However, no studies have reported if self-reported TMD-P in Saudi Arabia is associated with psychosocial symptoms. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the association between self-reported TMD-P with depression, anxiety and somatic problems in children and adolescents in Saudi Arabia. The hypothesis was that there is an association between self-reported TMD-P and psychological symptoms among children and adolescents. The included participants were randomly selected boys and girls aged between 10 and 18 years, with a mean (SD) age of 14.0 (2.3) years. Out of 633 children and adolescents that were invited to participate, 509 voluntarily agreed to participate, and 466 completed all questionnaires. The questionnaires included items retrieved from the Youth Self Report (YSR) and Axis II of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) besides demographic data, medical history, and presence of oral parafunctions. To assess the presence of self-reported TMD-Pain, each participant was verbally asked two validated questions regarding the presence of TMD-P and dysfunction (2Q-TMD). Self-reported TMD-P in children and adolescents was significantly associated with anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms, and social problems ( < 0.0001). Further, the frequencies of anxiety, depression, and somatic disorders were more evident among children and adolescents who suffered from TMD-P ( < 0.0001). The odds of reporting TMD-P in children and adolescents was 1.4 times for border line and clinical diagnosis scores for anxiety and withdrawal depression domains, and 2.6 times for the somatic symptoms' domains. However, in the multiple regression model after controlling for possible confounders, only somatic symptoms and social scores were significant. Moreover, self-reported TMD-P was twice as prevalent among girls compared to boys. This study reports a significant association between psychosocial burden and presence of self-reported TMD-Pain, with a stronger impact on girls than boys. There were significantly higher number of participants with self-reported TMD-P reporting a poor oral and general health. In addition, self-reported TMD-P was higher among those with borderline and clinically diagnosed anxiety/depression scores. Based on this finding, the current study supports that an early approach and recognition of children and adolescents with anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms, and TMD problems. This could result in a lesser burden for these children and adolescents both in regard to pain and psychosocial implications with increased quality of life.

Eur J Clin Invest 2022 May 22:e13818. Epub 2022 May 22.

Division of Laboratory Medicine, Department of Diagnostics and of Medical Specialties, Geneva University Hospitals and Geneva University, Geneva, Switzerland.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers different auto-antibodies, including anti-apolipoprotein A-1 IgGs (AAA1), which could be of concern as mediators of persistent symptoms. We determined the kinetics of AAA1 response over after COVID-19, and the impact of AAA1 on the inflammatory response and symptoms persistence.

Methods: All serologies were assessed at one, three, six, and twelve months in 193 hospital employees with COVID-19. Read More

Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research (SRH), World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.

Background: Reliable and rigorously collected sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (SRMNCAH) data in humanitarian settings is often sparse and varies in quality across different humanitarian settings. To address this gap in quality data, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed a core set of indicators for monitoring and evaluating SRMNCAH services and outcomes, and assessed their feasibility in Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Jordan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Methods: The feasibility assessments aggregated information from global consultations and field-level assessments to reach a consensus on a set of core SRMNCAH indicators among WHO partners. Read More

BMC Public Health 2022 May 21;22(1):1026. Epub 2022 May 21.

Health Systems Research Unit, South African Medical Research Council, Cape Town, South Africa.

Background: Safe Spaces are a feature of combination HIV prevention interventions for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in South Africa. We investigated whether AGYW at risk for adverse sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes accessed Safe Spaces that were part of an intervention, as well as their feasibility and acceptability.

Methods: In December 2020 to February 2021, as part of a process evaluation of a combination HIV prevention intervention, we randomly sampled 2160 AGYW intervention beneficiaries aged 15-24 years from 6 of the 12 intervention districts. Read More

Hippocampal representations for deep learning on Alzheimer's disease.

Deep learning offers a powerful approach for analyzing hippocampal changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) without relying on handcrafted features. Nevertheless, an input format needs to be selected to pass the image information to the neural network, which has wide ramifications for the analysis, but has not been evaluated yet. We compare five hippocampal representations (and their respective tailored network architectures) that span from raw images to geometric representations like meshes and point clouds. Read More

Purpose: Child and adolescent myopia is a widespread public health problem worldwide, with high incidence, low age at onset, and severe symptoms. Family management plays a very important role in the prevention and management of myopia in children and adolescents; however, even with knowledge of the health risks of myopia, parents still continue to selectively ignore the importance of visual health, resulting in difficulties with family care related to childhood and adolescent myopia. The purpose of this study was to explore the barriers to family intervention for child and adolescent vision. Read More
