Understanding how youth perceive household economic hardship and how it relates to their behavior is vital given associations between hardship and behavioral development. Yet, most studies ignore youth’s own perceptions of economic hardship, instead relying solely on caregiver reports. Moreover, the literature has tended to treat economic hardship as a stable force over time, rather than a volatile one that varies month-to-month. This study addressed extant limitations by collecting monthly measures of economic hardship, specifically caregiver- and youth-reported material deprivation and youth-reported financial stress, and youth internalizing and externalizing problems from 104 youth–caregiver dyads (youth: 14–16 years, 55% female, 37% Black, 43% White) over nine months. We examined month-to-month variability of these constructs and how youth-reports of material deprivation and financial stress predicted their behavior problems, controlling for caregiver-reports of material deprivation. We found that hardship measures varied month-to-month (ICCs = 0.69–0.73), and youth-reported material deprivation positively predicted internalizing when examining both within- and between-individual variability (β = .19–.47). Youth-reported financial stress positively predicted within-individual variation in externalizing (β = .18), while youth reports of material deprivation predicted externalizing when looking between families (β = .41). Caregiver-reported material deprivation was unrelated to youth behavior when accounting for youth perceptions of economic hardship.

Background
Countries worldwide are experiencing a third wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Government-imposed restrictive measures continue with undetermined effects on physical and mental health.
AimsTo compare child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) referrals over 11 months (January–November) in 2020, 2019 and 2018 and examine any impact the different phases of the COVID-19 restrictions might have on referral rates.
MethodMonthly CAMHS Health Service Executive data were examined, covering a catchment population of 260 560 or 12.7% of all youth (age group 0–18 years) in Ireland. The total number of urgent and routine referrals, appointments offered, rates of non-attendances and discharge outcome are presented.
ResultsThere was a significant drop in referrals in 2020, compared with prior years (χ2 = 10.3, d.f. = 2, P = 0.006). Referrals in 2020 dropped from March to May by 11% and from June to August by 10.3%. From September, both routine and urgent referrals increased by 50% compared with previous years (2018/2019), with the highest increase in November 2020 (180%). Clinic activity also increased from September, with double the number of out-patient appointments offered, compared with previous years (χ2 = 5171.72, d.f. = 3, P < 0.001) and lower (6.6%) rates of non-attendance (χ2 = 868.35, d.f. = 3, P < 0.001).
ConclusionsIn 2020, following an initial decline, referrals to CAMHS increased consistently from September. Such unprecedented increase in referrals places further strain on services that are already underresourced and underfunded, with the likelihood of increased waiting lists post COVID-19. It is envisaged that once the pandemic is over, resources will be even more constrained, and CAMHS will be urgently in need of additional ring-fenced funding.

Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) N95 filtering facepiece respirator (FFR) treatment is considered an effective decontamination approach to address the supply shortage of N95 FFRs during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. In this study, we investigated the nanomechanical and topographic properties of filtration fibers that have been exposed to different doses of UVC radiation. UVC exposure was shown to decrease both Young's modulus (E), hardness (H) and fiber width, as measured on individual polypropylene (PP) fibers. Our results also show that the PP microfiber layer loses its strength when N95 respirators are exposed to an accumulated UVC dose during the process of decontamination, and the PP fiber width also exhibits a logarithmic decrease during UVC exposure. The nanoscale measurement results on individual fibers suggest that maximum cycles of UVC disinfection treatment should be limited due to excessive accumulated dose, which has the potential to decrease the fiber breaking strength.

Objectives:
Lithium-treated patients with polyuria are at increased risk of lithium toxicity. We aimed to describe the clinical benefits and risks of different management strategies for polyuria in community lithium-treated patients.
Methods:This is a naturalistic, observational, prospective 12-month cohort study of lithium-treated patients with polyuria attending a community mental health service in Dublin, Ireland. When polyuria was detected, management changed in one of four ways: (a) no pharmacological change; (b) lithium dose decrease; (c) lithium substitution; or (d) addition of amiloride.
Results:Thirty-four participants were diagnosed with polyuria and completed prospective data over 12 months. Mean 24-hour urine volume decreased from 4852 to 4344 ml (p = 0.038). Mean early morning urine osmolality decreased from 343 to 338 mOsm/kg (p = 0.823). Mean 24-hour urine volume decreased with each type of intervention but did not attain statistical significance for any individual intervention group. Mean early morning urine osmolality decreased in participants with no pharmacological change and increased in participants who received a change in medication but these changes did not attain statistical significance. Only participants who discontinued lithium demonstrated potentially clinically significant changes in urine volume (mean decrease 747 ml in 24 hours) and early morning urine osmolality (mean increase 31 mOsm/kg) although this was not definitively proven, possibly owing to power issues.
Conclusions:Managing polyuria by decreasing lithium dose does not appear to substantially improve objective measures of renal tubular dysfunction, whereas substituting lithium may do so. Studies with larger numbers and longer follow-up would clarify these relationships.

Objective
To assess community mental health in suburban Dublin in 2018, 5 years after Ireland’s economic recession ended.
MethodsA cross-sectional, face-to-face, household survey was conducted in a random cluster sample of 351 households in Tallaght, a deprived suburb of Dublin.
ResultsA majority of respondents (61.3%) reported stress over the previous 12 months, with a higher rate in areas of high (66.9%) compared to lower deprivation (55.5%). Deprivation was not related to rates of loneliness (20.2%), feeling depressed (20.2%), loss of interest (19.7%) or anxiety (22.5%). Mean score for positive mental health (59.3/100, with a higher score indicating better mental health) was lower than that reported in a national sample in 2007 (68/100); positive mental health was associated with not living with a person with chronic illness, self-identifying as ‘non-Irish’ and greater age. Mean score for psychological distress (76.7/100, with a higher score indicating less distress) was also lower than that in 2007 (82/100); less psychological distress was associated with not living with a person with chronic illness or disability, greater age and identifying as non-Irish. The rate of ‘probable mental illness’ over the previous 4 weeks (13.1%) was higher than in 2007 (7%).
ConclusionsOur findings emphasise the high prevalence of stress, especially in deprived suburban areas; the centrality of carer burden in determining mental wellbeing; and associations between positive mental health on the one hand and greater age and identifying as non-Irish on the other.

Objective:
The Quebec shoulder dislocation rule is a recently derived clinical decision rule to guide physicians on the selective use of radiography in patients with shoulder dislocation. The aim of this studywas to validate the Quebec shoulder dislocation rule.
Methods:This was a secondary analysis of data collected in a retrospective cohort study. All patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) between January 1, 2003, and October 31, 2008, with a diagnosis of shoulder dislocation or fracture-dislocation were identified from ED management databases. Data collected included demographics, mechanism of injury, and presence of fracture. The outcome of interest was predictive performance of the Quebec shoulder dislocation rule for patients aged under 40 years on this cohort. Data analysis is descriptive.
Results:Of the 346 patients identified, 196 were aged under 40 years, and 174 (89%) were male; the median age was 25 years (interquartile range 21–29 years), and 58 were recurrent dislocations. One hundred sixteen patients (59%) met the Quebec high-risk criteria, and 80 (41%) were classified as low risk. In the 196 patients aged less than 40 years, 12 fractures as defined were identified (6%). When applied to this cohort, the Quebec clinical decision rule had a sensitivity of 0.42 (95% CI 0.16–0.71), a specificity of 0.40 (95% CI 0.33–0.47), and a negative predictive value of 0.91 (95% CI 0.82–0.96).
Conclusion:The Quebec shoulder dislocation rule had poor sensitivity for clinically significant fractures associated with shoulder dislocations in young patients (aged 16–39 years) presenting to an Australian emergency department. Its use cannot be recommended.

Summary
Eighteenth-century discussions of palingenesis present a challenge to intellectual history—an irreducibly “intricate”one, in the words of one scholar attempting to sketch their development from his own early twentieth-century vantage point. The difficulty lies in the concept's inherent variability within Enlightenment and early Romantic discourses. In natural-philosophical and scientific writings, palingenesis indicates a doctrine of rebirth understood as a renewal of bodily material. Yet in the debates about immortality that typically constitute the broader discursive context for palingenetic conceptions at this time, the term is often used synonymously with Christian and non-Christian notions of the rebirth of a non-corporeal substance. Palingenesis is used to mean both a revitalization of physical substance and the flat opposite, the continuity of an immaterial soul that outlives any particular and finite material form. The semantic pliancy is compounded further by how the concept ranges beyond debates about immortality and into other contexts, serving as a proto-evolutionary model of development in natural-historical discussions, as a metaphor of cultural rebirth in historicophilosophical writings, and as a trope of aesthetic production. The history of palingenesis, its career as an idea, in the eighteenth century is shaped largely by how it moves among and is respecified to numerous discursive contexts. Any analysis of “palingenesis” must orient itself in response to this conceptual mobility, following its passages into broader, often overlapping fields of inquiry.

To test whether the presence of indolyl-3-acryloylglycine (IAG) is associated with autism, we analyzed urine from population-based, blinded cohorts. All children in York, UK with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), diagnosed using ICD-10 research diagnostic criteria, were invited to participate. Fifty-six children on the autism spectrum (mean age 9y 8mo, SD3y 8mo; 79% male) agreed to participate, as did 155 children without ASDs (mean age 10y, SD3y 2mo; 54% male) in mainstream and special schools (56 of whom were age-, sex-, and school-matched to children with ASDs). IAG was found at similar levels in the urine of all children, whether IAG concentrations or IAG:creatinine ratios were compared. There was no significant difference between the ASD and the comparison group, and no difference between children at mainstream schools and those at special schools. There is no association between presence of IAG in urine and autism; therefore, it is unlikely to be of help either diagnostically or as a basis for recommending therapeutic intervention with dietary manipulation. The significance of the presence of IAG in urine has yet to be determined.

Objective:
To evaluate the endemicity and epidemiology of toxigenic Clostridium difficile in a sustained outbreak of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Setting:University-affiliated, 465-bed tertiary care teaching hospital with adjacent cancer clinic in Hamilton, Ontario.
Design:From August 8, 1991, through August 31, 1993, a total of 187 cases were investigated for epidemiologic analysis of toxigenic C difficile from stool cultures, to identify the endemic clone(s). To assess the nature of contamination, cultures of inanimate surfaces in the patient environment from the four most affected units (medical teaching, nonteaching medical, hematologic oncology, and the intensive care unit) were processed for C difficile. The 229 clinical strains and 24 environmental strains isolated were typed by numerical analysis of SDS-PAGE protein patterns.
Results:A majority (81%) of cases in the epidemiologic analysis were associated with a toxigenic electrophoretic (EP) type 1 C difficile that was identical to the strain first isolated from an index case that occurred 18 months before the start of this study. Culture and typing of the C difficile strains from the inanimate surfaces in the four most affected units showed that the patient environment was contaminated with the toxigenic EP type 1 organism. Six other strains that occurred infrequently among cases also were found in the environment.
Conclusions:A single predominant toxigenic clone has been implicated in a sustained outbreak of antibiotic-associated diarrhea that affected elderly patients. The “endemic” clone transmitted for the 25-month study period was linked to an index case shedding a toxigenic EP type 1 strain that occurred 21 months prior to the initial outbreak on the medical teaching unit. The patient environment in the affected units was found to be contaminated with the same clone, possibly due to shedding of organisms by fecally incontinent symptomatic patients. The extrinsic factors contributing to the endemic transmission of this one clone still are not well understood

Dynamic fatigue experiments were performed on Z5U multilayer capacitors in an attempt to correlate microflaw fracture behavior due to intrinsic processing defects within the material with predictions of fracture behavior based on macrocrack fracture mechanics determinations. A direct correlation between microflaw fracture behavior and predictions based upon macrocrack fracture mechanics techniques was not observable due to the wide size range of processing defects. A systematic post-mortem examination of fracture surfaces was used to identify fracture origins and sort individual test specimens into groups with equivalent flaw sizes. The correlation between microflaw and macrocrack fracture behavior became more “sorting” the dynamic fatigue data into groups withm oereq uoibvvailoeunst aflfatwer sizes.

Many investigators have studied the aerodynamics of axial flow turbomachinery but none has produced a complete map of the three-dimensional flow behind a rotor row. This is of considerable interest to the aero-acoustician. A system is described which uses a constant temperature hot-wire anemometer to analyse the flow behind such a rotor. Although much information may be extracted by using the technique, its interpretation depends to a large extent on its form of presentation. An analysis of the flow behind a research fan is used as a means of discussing various forms of visual presentation.
