<p><strong>Background: </strong>HIV disproportionately affects sexual minority men (SMM; eg, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men) in Lima, Peru; epidemiological data estimate that 32% to 39% of new HIV infections occur among adult cisgender SMM within primary partnerships (ie, male couples). Most HIV prevention-care research in Lima, Peru, has focused on SMM as individuals and not couples. To help address this critical gap in prevention care, we developed Para Ti, Para Mí, Para Nosotros (P3): a couples-based, digital HIV serostatus-neutral intervention (DHI) for adult cisgender SMM couples in Lima, Peru. The P3 DHI is designed to facilitate couples with skill-building, communication, decision-making, and working together to form and adhere to a detailed prevention care plan that aligns with their explicit sexual agreement. The P3 DHI is theoretically informed, self-guided, directed, sequential, and fully automated.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to examine the preliminary effects of P3 on couples' formation and adherence to a detailed prevention care plan containing evidence-based strategies that also aligns with their explicit sexual agreement over time. In addition, the feasibility of enrollment and retention and couples' acceptability of P3 will be assessed.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The research implements a prospective, 6-month pilot RCT with a 3-month delayed control condition. After baseline, 60 enrolled SMM couples will be randomized to 1 of 2 conditions. Couples randomized to the unmatched, delayed control condition will receive access to the P3 DHI to use during the last 3 months of the trial after the 3-month assessment. Couples randomized to the immediate intervention condition will immediately receive access to the P3 DHI for 6 months. Study assessments will occur at baseline and months 3 and 6. Descriptive, comparative, qualitative, and longitudinal analyses using generalized linear mixed-effect, multilevel, and actor-partner interdependence models will be conducted to address the specific aims.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The 6-month pilot RCT is ongoing. Recruitment, enrollment, and data collection began in January 2023 and ended in April 2024. A total of 74 adult cisgender SMM couples met all inclusion criteria, provided consent, and were enrolled in the pilot RCT. Retention was 92% (68/74) at month 6. Data are currently being analyzed to address the 3 specific aims regarding feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Findings from this research will reveal whether couples deemed the P3 DHI to be acceptable. Findings will also highlight the preliminary efficacy of the P3 DHI on couples managing their vulnerability to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) over time via alignment of their prevention-care plan and sexual agreement. Trial findings will help shape the future direction of the P3 DH
背景:在秘鲁利马,艾滋病毒对性少数男性(SMM,即男同性恋、双性恋和其他男男性行为者)的影响尤为严重;流行病学数据估计,32% 至 39% 的艾滋病毒新感染病例发生在主要伴侣关系(即男性伴侣)中的成年顺性别 SMM 身上。秘鲁利马的大多数艾滋病预防护理研究都集中在作为个体的 SMM 上,而不是夫妻。为了帮助解决预防保健中的这一关键缺口,我们开发了 "Para Ti, Para Mí, Para Nosotros"(P3):一种以夫妻为基础的、数字化 HIV 血清状态中立干预措施(DHI),针对秘鲁利马的成年同性 SMM 夫妻。P3 DHI 的设计目的是促进夫妻双方的技能建设、沟通、决策,并共同制定和遵守符合其明确性协议的详细预防护理计划。P3 DHI 具有理论依据、自我指导、定向、顺序和全自动等特点:这项试点随机对照试验(RCT)旨在研究 P3 对夫妻形成和坚持详细的预防保健计划的初步效果,该计划包含循证策略,并随着时间的推移与他们明确的性协议保持一致。此外,还将评估注册和保留的可行性以及夫妇对 P3 的接受程度:研究实施了一项为期 6 个月的前瞻性试点 RCT,其中有 3 个月的延迟对照条件。基线结束后,60 对注册的 SMM 夫妇将被随机分配到两种条件中的一种。随机进入非匹配延迟对照条件的夫妇将在 3 个月评估后的试验最后 3 个月中获得 P3 DHI。被随机选入即时干预条件的夫妇将立即获得 P3 DHI,使用期为 6 个月。研究评估将在基线、第 3 个月和第 6 个月进行。为实现具体目标,将使用广义线性混合效应模型、多层次模型和行为主体-伴侣相互依赖模型进行描述性分析、比较分析、定性分析和纵向分析:为期 6 个月的试点 RCT 正在进行中。招募、注册和数据收集工作于 2023 年 1 月开始,2024 年 4 月结束。共有 74 对成年顺性别 SMM 夫妇符合所有纳入标准,提供了同意书,并被纳入试点 RCT。第 6 个月的保留率为 92%(68/74)。目前正在对数据进行分析,以实现可行性、可接受性和初步疗效这三个具体目标:这项研究的结果将揭示夫妇们是否认为 P3 DHI 可以接受。研究结果还将突显 P3 DHI 通过调整预防保健计划和性协议,对夫妻双方长期控制艾滋病和其他性传播感染 (STI) 易感性的初步效果。试验结果将有助于确定 P3 DHI 的未来发展方向,同时解决当地夫妻预防和护理服务的现有差距:试验注册:ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05873855;https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05873855.International 注册报告标识符 (irrid):DERR1-10.2196/63106。

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Botswana has made significant investments in its health care information infrastructure, including vertical programs for child health and nutrition, HIV care, and tuberculosis. However, effectively integrating the more than 18 systems in place for data collection and reporting has proved to be challenging. The Botswana Health Data Collaborative Roadmap Strategy (2020-24) states that "there exists parallel reporting systems and data is not integrated into the mainstream reports at the national level," seconded by the Botswana National eLearning strategy (2020), which states that "there is inadequate information flow at all levels, proliferation of systems, reporting tools are not synthesized; hence too many systems are not communicating."</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>The objectives of this study are to (1) create a visual representation of how data are processed and the inputs and outputs through each health care system level; (2) understand how frontline workers perceive health care data sharing across existing platforms and the impact of data on health care service delivery.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The setting included a varied range of 30 health care facilities across Botswana, aiming to capture insights from multiple perspectives into data flow and system integration challenges. The study design combined qualitative and quantitative methodologies, informed by the rapid assessment process and the technology assessment model for resource limited settings. The study used a participatory research approach to ensure comprehensive stakeholder engagement from its inception. Survey instruments were designed to capture the intricacies of data processing, sharing, and integration among health care workers. A purposive sampling strategy was used to ensure a wide representation of participants across different health care roles and settings. Data collection used both digital surveys and in-depth interviews. Preliminary themes for analysis include perceptions of the value of health care data and experiences in data collection and sharing.

Background: Glaucoma is a chronic progressive optic neuropathy that necessitates lifelong treatment to reduce the decline of the optic nerve. Due to the extended and continuous treatments required for patients, complementary therapies are often considered alongside conventional treatments to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. Acupuncture has demonstrated the potential to lower intraocular pressure in previous clinical trials, making it a promising glaucoma intervention.

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to conduct a single-center randomized control trial involving patients with glaucoma. Acupuncture will be evaluated as an adjunctive therapy. The trial aims to explore its effectiveness for glaucoma.

Methods: In this single-center randomized controlled trial, participants (N=50) with primary open-angle glaucoma will be randomly assigned to the treatment group, receiving ophthalmic acupuncture with "De Qi" sensation, or the control group, receiving minimum acupuncture stimulation on nonophthalmic acupoints. The intervention will consist of weekly acupuncture treatments for a total of 6 sessions. Participants will be assessed at 8 time points, which are baseline, during the intervention (6 times), and at a 3-month follow-up. The primary outcome measure is a change in the intraocular pressure before and after each acupuncture treatment. Secondary outcomes will include measurements of heart rate and blood pressure before and after acupuncture, best-corrected visual acuity, visual field, optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, the Glaucoma Symptom Scale, and the Glaucoma Quality of Life-15 questionnaire.

Results: Recruitment of participants for the trial commenced on June 28, 2023. A total of 10 participants have been enrolled to test the feasibility of the experiment. We anticipate that the preliminary data from this trial will be completed by December 2025.

Conclusions: This trial uses rigorous methodology and comprehensive outcome measurements to assess the clinical efficacy of acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy for glaucoma, providing valuable insights for future clinical treatment guidelines.

Background: Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging pollutants of concern with ubiquitous presence in global ecosystems. MNPs pose potential implications for human health; however, the health impacts of MNP exposures are not yet understood. Recent evidence suggests that MNPs can cross the placental barrier, underlying the urgent need to understand their impact on reproductive health and development.

Objective: The Actionable eUropean ROadmap for early-life health Risk Assessment of micro- and nanoplastics (AURORA) project will investigate MNP exposures and their biological and health effects during pregnancy and early life, which are critical periods due to heightened vulnerability to environmental stressors. The AURORA project will enhance exposure assessment capabilities for measuring MNPs, MNP-associated chemicals, and plastic additives in human tissues, including placenta and blood.

Methods: In this interdisciplinary project, we will advance methods for in-depth characterization and scalable chemical analytical strategies, enabling high-resolution and large-scale toxicological, exposure assessment, and epidemiological studies. The AURORA project performs observational studies to investigate determinants and health impacts of MNPs by including 800 mother-child pairs from 2 existing birth cohorts and 110 women of reproductive age from a newly established cohort. This will be complemented by toxicological studies using a tiered-testing approach and epidemiological investigations to evaluate associations between maternal and prenatal MNP exposures and health perturbations, such as placental function, immune-inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, accelerated aging, endocrine disruption, and child growth and development. The ultimate goal of the AURORA project is to create an MNP risk assessment framework and identify the remaining knowledge gaps and priorities needed to comprehensively assess the impact of MNPs on early-life health.

Results: In the first 3 years of this 5-year project (2021-2026), progress was made toward all objectives. This includes completion of recruitment and data collection for new and existing cohorts, development of analytical methodological protocols, and initiation of the toxicological tiered assessments. As of September 2024, data analysis is ongoing and results are expected to be published starting in 2025.

Conclusions: As plastic pollution increases globally, it is imperative to understand the impact of MNPs on human health, particularly during vulnerable developmental stages such as early life. The contributions of the AURORA project will inform future risk assessment.

<p><strong>Background: </strong>For more responsive care provision for motor neuron disease and caregivers, a digital system called Telehealth in MND-Care (TiM-C) was created. TiM-C sends regular symptom questionnaires to users; their responses are sent to health care professionals (HCPs). To enable people with motor neuron disease to participate in research studies more easily, a parallel platform was developed from TiM-C, called Telehealth in MND-Research (TiM-R). TiM-R can advertise studies, collect data, and make them available to MND researchers.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This study has 4 work packages (WPs) to facilitate service approval, codevelop the TiM systems, and evaluate the service. Each WP aims to understand (1) what helps and hinders the approval of the TiM-C system as a National Health Service; (2) what aspects of MND care and research are currently unmet and can be addressed through the TiM-C and TiM-R systems; (3) how TiM-C influences MND care, from the perspective of people with motor neuron disease, their caregivers, and HCPs; and (4) the costs and benefits associated with TiM-C.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>WP1 will use semistructured interviews with 10-15 people involved in the approval of TiM-C to understand the barriers and facilitators to governance processes. WP2 will use individual and group interviews with 25-35 users (people with motor neuron disease, caregivers, HCPs, MND researchers, and industry) of TiM-C and TiM-R to understand the current unmet needs of these user groups and how TiM services can be developed to meet these needs. WP3 will use a process evaluation involving 5 elements; local context, engagement, user experiences, service impact, and mechanisms of action. A range of methods, including audits, analysis of routine data, questionnaires, interviews, and observations will be used with people with motor neuron disease, caregivers, and HCPs, both those using the system and those who declined the service when invited. WP4 will use data collected through the process evaluation and known costs to conduct a cost-consequence and budget impact analysis to explore the cost-benefit of the TiM-C service.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a pivotal element in health care, leading to significant advancements across various medical domains, including palliative care and hospice services. These services focus on improving the quality of life for patients with life-limiting illnesses, and AI's ability to process complex datasets can enhance decision-making and personalize care in these sensitive settings. However, incorporating AI into palliative and hospice care requires careful examination to ensure it reflects the multifaceted nature of these settings.

Objective: This scoping review aims to systematically map the landscape of AI in palliative care and hospice settings, focusing on the data diversity and model robustness. The goal is to understand AI's role, its clinical integration, and the transparency of its development, ultimately providing a foundation for developing AI applications that adhere to established ethical guidelines and principles.

Methods: Our scoping review involves six stages: (1) identifying the research question; (2) identifying relevant studies; (3) study selection; (4) charting the data; (5) collating, summarizing, and reporting the results; and (6) consulting with stakeholders. Searches were conducted across databases including MEDLINE through PubMed, Embase.com, IEEE Xplore, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Web of Science Core Collection, covering studies from the inception of each database up to November 1, 2023. We used a comprehensive set of search terms to capture relevant studies, and non-English records were excluded if their abstracts were not in English. Data extraction will follow a systematic approach, and stakeholder consultations will refine the findings.

Results: The electronic database searches conducted in November 2023 resulted in 4614 studies. After removing duplicates, 330 studies were selected for full-text review to determine their eligibility based on predefined criteria. The extracted data will be organized into a table to aid in crafting a narrative summary. The review is expected to be completed by May 2025.

Conclusions: This scoping review will advance the understanding of AI in palliative care and hospice, focusing on data diversity and model robustness. It will identify gaps and guide future research, contributing to the development of ethically responsible and effective AI applications in these settings.

<p><strong>Background: </strong>Suicide stands as a global public health concern with a pronounced impact, especially in low- and middle-income countries, where it remains largely unnoticed as a significant health concern, leading to delays in diagnosis and intervention. South Asia, in particular, has seen limited development in this area of research, and applying existing models from other regions is challenging due to cost constraints and the region's distinct linguistics and behavior. Social media analysis, notably on platforms such as Facebook (Meta Platforms Inc), offers the potential for detecting major depressive disorder and aiding individuals at risk of suicidal ideation.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This study primarily focuses on India and Bangladesh, both South Asian countries. It aims to construct a predictive model for suicidal ideation by incorporating unique, unexplored features along with masked content from both public and private Facebook profiles. Moreover, the research aims to fill the existing research gap by addressing the distinct challenges posed by South Asia's unique behavioral patterns, socioeconomic conditions, and linguistic nuances. Ultimately, this research strives to enhance suicide prevention efforts in the region by offering a cost-effective solution.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This quantitative research study will gather data through a web-based platform. Initially, participants will be asked a few demographic questions and to complete the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire assessment. Eligible participants who provide consent will receive an email requesting them to upload a ZIP file of their Facebook data. The study will begin by determining whether Facebook is the primary application for the participants based on their active hours and Facebook use duration. Subsequently, the predictive model will incorporate a wide range of previously unexplored variables, including anonymous postings, and textual analysis features, such as captions, biographic information, group membership, preferred pages, interactions with advertisement content, and search history. The model will also analyze the use of emojis and the types of games participants engage with on Facebook.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The study obtained approval from the scientific review committee on October 2, 2023, and subsequently received institutional review committee ethical clearance on December 8, 2023. Our system is anticipated to automatically detect posts related to depression by analyzing the text and use pattern of the individual with the best accuracy possible. Ultimately, our research aims to have practical utility in identifying individuals who may be at risk of depression or in need of mental health support.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This initiative aims to enhance engagement in suicidal ideation medical care in South Asia to improve health outcomes. It is set to be the first study to consider predicting participant
背景:自杀是一个具有显著影响的全球公共卫生问题,尤其是在中低收入国家,自杀在很大程度上仍未被视为一个重大的健康问题,导致诊断和干预的延误。尤其是南亚地区,在这一研究领域的发展十分有限,而且由于成本限制以及该地区独特的语言和行为习惯,应用其他地区的现有模式具有挑战性。社交媒体分析,尤其是 Facebook(Meta Platforms Inc)等平台上的社交媒体分析,为检测重度抑郁障碍和帮助有自杀倾向的人提供了可能:本研究主要针对印度和孟加拉国这两个南亚国家。目的:本研究主要关注印度和孟加拉国这两个南亚国家,旨在通过结合独特的、未开发的特征以及来自公开和私人 Facebook 资料的屏蔽内容,构建自杀意念的预测模型。此外,该研究还旨在通过解决南亚独特的行为模式、社会经济条件和语言细微差别所带来的独特挑战,填补现有的研究空白。最终,这项研究将通过提供具有成本效益的解决方案,努力加强该地区的自杀预防工作:这项定量研究将通过网络平台收集数据。最初,参与者将被问及一些人口统计学问题,并完成 9 项患者健康问卷评估。获得同意的合格参与者将收到一封电子邮件,要求他们上传其 Facebook 数据的 ZIP 文件。研究将首先根据参与者的活跃时间和 Facebook 使用时长确定 Facebook 是否是他们的主要应用程序。随后,预测模型将纳入大量以前未曾探索过的变量,包括匿名发帖和文本分析功能,如标题、个人履历信息、群成员身份、首选页面、与广告内容的互动以及搜索历史。该模型还将分析表情符号的使用情况以及参与者在 Facebook 上参与的游戏类型:该研究于 2023 年 10 月 2 日获得了科学审查委员会的批准,随后于 2023 年 12 月 8 日获得了机构审查委员会的伦理许可。预计我们的系统将通过分析文本和个人使用模式,自动检测与抑郁症有关的帖子,并尽可能提高准确性。最终,我们的研究旨在为识别可能有抑郁风险或需要心理健康支持的个人提供实用工具:该倡议旨在提高南亚地区自杀意念医疗护理的参与度,从而改善健康状况。它将成为第一项在分析参与者的主要社交应用内容以预测其行为和精神状态之前考虑预测其使用情况的研究。这项研究有望彻底改变策略,并为可扩展、可获得的干预措施提供见解,同时通过全面的 Facebook 特征分析保持质量:DERR1-10.2196/55511。
