Article Abstract
This study explores the effect of memory sponge body position pad on pressure injury of compressed skin in patients undergoing lithotomy. From October 2021 to March 2022, 94 adult patients with gynecological malignancies who underwent elective general anesthesia surgery in our hospital and were in the lithotomy position during the operation were selected as the research objects. According to the different kinds of nursing, they were divided into 47 cases in the control group and 47 cases in the experimental group. The control group used silicone gel pads, and the experimental group used memory sponge pads. The incidence of pressure injury (PI), postoperative comfort contact area and average pressure of pressure part, and the surface microenvironment of the pressure part were compared between the 2 groups. Compared with the control group (17.02%), the incidence of PI in the observation group (2.13%) was significantly lower (P < .05); Compared with the control group (12.77%, 17.02%, 21.28%), the incidence of limb numbness (0.00%), waist muscle pain (4.26%) and neck and shoulder pain (6.38%) in the observation group were significantly lower (P < .05); Compared with the control group, the contact area of the compressed part in the observation group increased significantly and the average pressure decreased significantly after anesthesia, after positioning, during and after operation (P < .05); Compared with the pressure for 1 hour, the humidity and temperature of the feet, buttocks, and shoulders of the 2 groups were significantly higher after 2 hours of pressure, while the humidity and temperature of the feet, buttocks, and shoulders were significantly lower in the observation group compared to the control group (P < .05). The memory sponge position pad can prevent the occurrence of PI on the compressed skin of patients undergoing lithotomy and can also improve the postoperative comfort of patients and the surface microenvironment of the compressed part, which has high clinical reference value.

Associations between element mixtures and biomarkers of pathophysiologic pathways related to autism spectrum disorder.
J Trace Elem Med Biol

Department of Neurology, Children's Hospital of Fudan University, National Children's Medical Center, Shanghai, China. Electronic address:
Objective: We previously documented that exposure to a spectrum of elements is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of mechanistic understanding as to how elemental mixtures contribute to the ASD development.
Materials And Methods: Serum and urinary concentrations of 26 elements and six biomarkers of ASD-relevant pathophysiologic pathways including serum HIPK 2, serum p53 protein, urine malondialdehyde (MDA), urine 8-OHdG, serum melatonin, and urine carnitine, were measured in 21 ASD cases and 21 age-matched healthy controls of children aged 6-12 years.
A Self-Guided Digital Mental Health Promotion Service Targeting Young People: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The high and increasing rate of poor mental health among young people is a matter of global concern. Experiencing poor mental health during this formative stage of life can adversely impact interpersonal relationships, academic and professional performance, and future health and well-being if not addressed early. However, only a few of those in need seek help.

Background: Children in the United States have poor diet quality, increasing their risk for chronic disease burden later in life. Caregivers' feeding behaviors are a critical factor in shaping lifelong dietary habits. The Strong Families Start at Home/Familias Fuertes Comienzan en Casa (SFSH) was a 6-month, home-based, pilot randomized-controlled feasibility trial that aimed to improve the diet quality of 2-5-year-old children and promote positive parental feeding practices among a predominantly Hispanic/Latine sample.

Background: In recent years, social media has emerged as a pivotal tool in implementation science efforts to address the HIV epidemic. Engaging community partners is essential to ensure the successful and equitable implementation of social media strategies. There is a notable lack of scholarship addressing the operational considerations for studies using social media strategies in community-partnered HIV research.

Rationale: There are insufficient data to inform the management of central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT) has been postulated to benefit CSA patients with HFrEF, but has not been rigorously studied.
