Barriers and Facilitators for Translating Skills into Clinical Practice in Primary Psychiatry Care: Primary Care Doctors' Survey Through the Lens of Implementation Research.

Background: Though integrating psychiatric care into primary care is thought to be a pivotal step, a huge gap remains in translating this training into clinical practice at primary health centers (PHCs) in India. To address this, we aim to explore the perspectives of the primary care doctors (PCDs) from an implementation research angle.

Methods: An anonymous online survey with a semi-structured questionnaire gathered PCDs' perspectives on integrating primary care psychiatry training into India's healthcare system, focusing on Acceptability, Adoption, Appropriateness, and Feasibility subsets based on the conceptual framework for implementation outcomes.

Differential modulation of SARS-CoV-2 infection by complement factor H and properdin.

Introduction: An unbalanced immune response and excessive inflammation are the major hallmarks of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, which can result in multiorgan failure and death. The dysregulation of the complement system has been shown in various studies as a crucial factor in the immunopathology of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Complement alternative pathway has been linked to the excessive inflammation in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection in which decreased levels of factor H (FH) and elevated levels of properdin (FP) were observed.

Development of PROWalk: a functional mobility person-reported outcome measure based on the PROMIS adult physical function item bank.

Introduction: Assessing an individual's physical capacity to move independently and safely to perform activities of daily living (i.e., functional mobility) can be approached through various modalities, including performance-based physiological tests, observational assessments, and self-report questionnaires.

A Pan India Digitally Driven Capacity Building Program to Strengthen Primary Mental Healthcare: Summary of Its Implementation and Performance Evaluation.

Background: India has made significant strides in digital mental health capacity building over the past decade. This pan-India initiative was implemented through National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) to enhance the delivery of primary mental healthcare by digitally training medical officers (MOs), community health officers (CHOs), and field-level workers (FLWs) of India.

Methods: Between October 2022 and June 2024, the program engaged MOs, CHOs, and FLWs of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Goa, Kerala, and West Bengal in a standardized six-week-district-wise digital training module curated to identify and manage commonly prevalent psychiatric disorders in primary care settings.

Working Length Determination Using Two Fifth-Generation Apex Locators With Radiovisiography: An Study.

Context: Accurate working length determination is essential for successful root canal therapy. This study compares the accuracy of two electronic apex locators-e-Magic Finder (EMF)-100 and WOODPEX I-with digital radiovisiography (RVG; Suni Ray) in determining root canal working length.

Aims: To evaluate and compare the accuracy of EMF-100 and WOODPEX I apex locators with RVG in determining the working length of root canals.
