  • Visual function and quality of life in children and adolescents with anophthalmia and microphthalmia treated with ocular prosthesis
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Acta Ophthalmologica. - : Wiley. - 1755-375X .- 1755-3768. ; 98:7, s. 662-670

    • Purpose To evaluate health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), vision-related (VR-)QoL and perceptual visual dysfunction (PVD) among individuals with anophthalmia (A) and microphthalmia (M) treated with ocular prosthesis. Methods The study comprised 15 individuals (mean age 6.6 years; range 1.7-14.1) with unilateral A or M. Three validated instruments measuring HR-QoL and VR-QoL were used: The Pediatric QoL Inventory (PedsQL), consisting of physical and psychosocial self-report and parent-proxy report (2-18 years); Children's Visual Function Questionnaire (CVFQ); and Effects of Youngsters' Eyesight on Quality of Life (EYE-Q). Perceptual visual dysfunctions (PVDs) were assessed by history taking according to a specific protocol. Results A/M children and their parents showed low HR-QoL scores (PedsQL total score: 66.3; 69.6) compared with controls (83.0; 87.61) (p = 0.0035 and <0.0001, respectively, unpaired t-test). No differences were found between A/M children and parents, but parents tended to underestimate their children's emotional state. A/M children with subnormal visual acuity (VA) for age scored lower in physical health compared with A/M children with normal VA (p = 0.03, Mann-Whitney U-test). No significant VR-QoL differences between A/M children and references or between A/M children with subnormal or normal VA for age were found. More A/M children than controls exhibited PVDs in >= 1 area (7/11 versus 4/118; p < 0.0001, Fisher's exact test). Conclusion A/M individuals show poor HR-QoL and increased PVDs. No difference in QoL was found between children and parents, though the children tended to score lower in emotional well-being. A/M children with subnormal VA showed lower physical health score. These problems indicate the necessity of a thorough multidisciplinary assessment and follow-up of children with A/M.

  • Scalable psychological interventions for Syrian refugees in Europe and the Middle East : STRENGTHS study protocol for a prospective individual participant data meta-analysis
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: BMJ Open. - : BMJ. - 2044-6055. ; 12:4
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Introduction The World Health Organization's (WHO) scalable psychological interventions, such as Problem Management Plus (PM+) and Step-by-Step (SbS) are designed to be cost-effective non-specialist delivered interventions to reduce symptoms of common mental disorders, such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The STRENGTHS consortium aims to evaluate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and implementation of the individual format of PM+ and its group version (gPM+), as well as of the digital SbS intervention among Syrian refugees in seven countries in Europe and the Middle East. This is a study protocol for a prospective individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis to evaluate (1) overall effectiveness and cost-effectiveness and (2) treatment moderators of PM+, gPM+ and SbS with Syrian refugees. Methods and analysis Five pilot randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and seven fully powered RCTs conducted within STRENGTHS will be combined into one IPD meta-analytic dataset. The RCTs include Syrian refugees of 18 years and above with elevated psychological distress (Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10>15)) and impaired daily functioning (WHO Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0>16)). Participants are randomised into the intervention or care as usual control group, and complete follow-up assessments at 1-week, 3-month and 12-month follow-up. Primary outcomes are symptoms of depression and anxiety (25-item Hopkins Symptom Checklist). Secondary outcomes include daily functioning (WHODAS 2.0), PTSD symptoms (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5) and self-identified problems (PSYCHLOPS). We will conduct a one-stage IPD meta-analysis using linear mixed models. Quality of evidence will be assessed using the GRADE approach, and the economic evaluation approach will be assessed using the CHEC-list. Ethics and dissemination Local ethical approval has been obtained for each RCT. This IPD meta-analysis does not require ethical approval. The results of this study will be published in international peer-reviewed journals.

  • Cichorium intybus L. significantly alleviates cigarette smoke-induced acute lung injury by lowering NF-κB pathway activation and inflammatory mediators
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Heliyon. - : Elsevier. - 2405-8440. ; 9:11
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Cigarette smoke (CS) is one of the primary causes of acute lung injury (ALI) via provoking pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress. Despite substantial studies, no effective treatment for ALI is presently available.Purpose: New prospective treatment options for ALI are required. Thus, this project was designed to investigate the in vivo and in vitro protective effects of 70 % methanolic-aqueous crude extract of whole plant of Cichorium intybus (Ci.Mce) against CS-induced ALI.Study design: /methods: Initially, male Swiss albino mice were subjected to whole-body CS exposure for 10 continuous days to prepare CS-induced ALI models. Normal saline (10 mL/kg), Ci.Mce (100, 200, 300 mg/kg), and Dexamethasone (1 mg/kg) were orally administered to respective animal groups 1 h prior to CS-exposure. 24 hrs after the last CS-exposure, BALF and lungs were harvested to study the key characteristics of ALI. Next, HPLC analysis was done to explore the phytoconstituents.Results: Ci.Mce exhibited significant reductions in lung macrophage and neutrophil infiltration, lung weight coefficient, and albumin exudation. Additionally, it effectively ameliorated lung histopathological alterations and hypoxemia. Notably, Ci.Mce exerted inhibitory effects on the excessive generation of IL-6, IL-1β, and KC in both CS-induced ALI murine models and CSE-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Noteworthy benefits included the attenuation of oxidative stress induced by CS, evidenced by decreased levels of MDA, TOS, and MPO, alongside enhanced TAC production. Furthermore, Ci.Mce demonstrated a marked reduction in CS-induced NF-κB expression, both in vivo and in vitro.Conclusion: Consequently, Cichorium intybus could be a therapeutic option for CS-induced ALI due to its ability to suppress inflammatory reactions, mitigate oxidative stress, and quell NF-κB p65 activation.
