Pandemic-Related Stress Symptoms Among Norwegian Parents of Adolescents in Grades 6 to 8
We investigated pandemic-related stress symptoms during the first COVID-19 lockdown period in spring 2020 among parents of adolescents that were 11 to 13 years old in the study period. We also investigated whether parental stress symptoms were associated with family situation and family activities during lockdown. Altogether 147 couples reported about their own trauma-related stress symptoms following the outbreak of the pandemic. Among the respondents, 9.5% of the mothers and 10.2% of the fathers had scores over cutoff on the screener (IES-6) measuring stress symptoms, a non-significant gender difference. Scores on the screener were not associated with family contamination or lockdown consequences. Family activities during lockdown did not impact the pandemic stress symptom levels. Whereas, the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic pose a stressor to most people, it is unlikely to be a criterion A event for other than directly affected families.publishedVersio
Multi-step approach to microscopic models for frustrated quantum magnets - the case of the natural mineral azurite
The natural mineral azurite Cu(CO)(OH) is a frustrated magnet
displaying unusual and controversially discussed magnetic behavior. Motivated
by the lack of a unified description for this system, we perform a theoretical
study based on density functional theory as well as state-of-the-art numerical
many-body calculations. We propose an effective generalized spin-1/2 diamond
chain model which provides a consistent description of experiments:
low-temperature magnetization, inelastic neutron scattering, nuclear magnetic
resonance measurements, magnetic susceptibility as well as new specific heat
measurements. With this study we demonstrate that the balanced combination of
first principles with powerful many-body methods successfully describes the
behavior of this frustrated material.Comment: final version to appear in Phys. Rev. Lett.; 10 pages, 9 figures, 4

Trajectories of maternal symptoms of anxiety and depression. A 13-year longitudinal study of a population-based sample
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>There is a lack of population-based studies of developmental trajectories following mothers throughout the whole child-rearing phase and there are few longitudinal studies focusing on both symptoms of depression and anxiety. The aim of the current study is to identify latent trajectory groups based on counts of symptoms of anxiety and depression among mothers throughout the child-rearing phase and the relations of the latent groups to maternal socio-demographic variables.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Data is from a prospective, longitudinal study of nearly 1000 families in Norway followed from when the index children were 18 months until they were 14.5 years old (the TOPP study). The study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify latent groups of mothers with distinct trajectories across time of symptom counts. Latent group differences on socio-demographic variables were tested with one-way ANOVAs, chi-square tests and exact tests.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Six trajectories based on maternal scores from six waves of data collection of symptoms of anxiety and depression were identified; a 'No symptoms' group with mothers without symptoms; a 'Low' group with mothers reporting low symptom levels; a 'Moderate-low' group with mothers reporting moderately low symptom levels; a 'Moderate' group with mothers with moderate symptoms; a 'High-chronic' group with mothers with overall high symptom levels; and a 'Low-rising' group with mothers starting with a low symptom level that increased over time. The mothers in the High-chronic symptom group differed from the other mothers on several socio-demographic variables. They were significantly younger than the mothers in the Low group comprising the oldest mothers. The mothers in the High-chronic group had significantly lower education, were less likely to have paid work and were less likely to be living with a partner than the mothers in the other groups.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The study shows socio-demographic differences between mothers classified into six trajectory groups based on symptoms of anxiety and depression covering 13 years of the child-rearing period. Specific socio-demographic risk factors characterised mothers in the High-chronic symptom group. Identifying subgroups with enduring problems might inform more targeted preventive efforts.</p
Proposal of 0.5 mg of protein/100 g of processed food as threshold for voluntary declaration of food allergen traces in processed food-A first step in an initiative to better inform patients and avoid fatal allergic reactions : A GA(2)LEN position paper
Background Food anaphylaxis is commonly elicited by unintentional ingestion of foods containing the allergen above the tolerance threshold level of the individual. While labeling the 14 main allergens used as ingredients in food products is mandatory in the EU, there is no legal definition of declaring potential contaminants. Precautionary allergen labeling such as "may contain traces of" is often used. However, this is unsatisfactory for consumers as they get no information if the contamination is below their personal threshold. In discussions with the food industry and technologists, it was suggested to use a voluntary declaration indicating that all declared contaminants are below a threshold of 0.5 mg protein per 100 g of food. This concentration is known to be below the threshold of most patients, and it can be technically guaranteed in most food production. However, it was also important to assess that in case of accidental ingestion of contaminants below this threshold by highly allergic patients, no fatal anaphylactic reaction could occur. Therefore, we performed a systematic review to assess whether a fatal reaction to 5mg of protein or less has been reported, assuming that a maximum portion size of 1kg of a processed food exceeds any meal and thus gives a sufficient safety margin. Methods MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched until 24 January 2021 for provocation studies and case reports in which one of the 14 major food allergens was reported to elicit fatal or life-threatening anaphylactic reactions and assessed if these occurred below the ingestion of 5mg of protein. A Delphi process was performed to obtain an expert consensus on the results. Results In the 210 studies included, in our search, no reports of fatal anaphylactic reactions reported below 5 mg protein ingested were identified. However, in provocation studies and case reports, severe reactions below 5 mg were reported for the following allergens: eggs, fish, lupin, milk, nuts, peanuts, soy, and sesame seeds. Conclusion Based on the literature studied for this review, it can be stated that cross-contamination of the 14 major food allergens below 0.5 mg/100 g is likely not to endanger most food allergic patients when a standard portion of food is consumed. We propose to use the statement "this product contains the named allergens in the list of ingredients, it may contain traces of other contaminations (to be named, e.g. nut) at concentrations less than 0.5 mg per 100 g of this product" for a voluntary declaration on processed food packages. This level of avoidance of cross-contaminations can be achieved technically for most processed foods, and the statement would be a clear and helpful message to the consumers. However, it is clearly acknowledged that a voluntary declaration is only a first step to a legally binding solution. For this, further research on threshold levels is encouraged.Peer reviewe

Standardized monitoring of cytomegalovirus-specific immunity can improve risk stratification of recurrent cytomegalovirus reactivation after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Recurrence of cytomegalovirus reactivation remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Monitoring cytomegalovirus-specific cellular immunity using a standardized assay might improve the risk stratification of patients. A prospective multicenter study was conducted in 175 intermediate- and high-risk allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients under preemptive antiviral therapy. Cytomegalovirus-specific cellular immunity was measured using a standardized IFN-Îł ELISpot assay (T-TrackÂź CMV). Primary aim was to evaluate the suitability of measuring cytomegalovirus-specific immunity after end of treatment for a first cytomegalovirus reactivation to predict recurrent reactivation. 40/101 (39.6%) patients with a first cytomegalovirus reactivation experienced recurrent reactivations, mainly in the high-risk group (cytomegalovirus-seronegative donor/cytomegalovirus-seropositive recipient). The positive predictive value of T-TrackÂź CMV (patients with a negative test after the first reactivation experienced at least one recurrent reactivation) was 84.2% in high-risk patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a higher probability of recurrent cytomegalovirus reactivation in high-risk patients with a negative test after the first reactivation (hazard ratio 2.73; p=0.007). Interestingly, a post-hoc analysis considering T-TrackÂź CMV measurements at day 100 post-transplantation, a time point highly relevant for outpatient care, showed a positive predictive value of 90.0% in high-risk patients. Our results indicate that standardized cytomegalovirus-specific cellular immunity monitoring may allow improved risk stratification and management of recurrent cytomegalovirus reactivation after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Test-retest reliability of Motor test in NUBU 4-16 (Neuromotor Assessment of Children and Adolescents 4-16)
Aim: To investigate the test-retest reliability of Motor test total scores across two assessments by the same physiotherapist.
Design: Quantitative analyses of test scores from two assessments of each child. Materials and method: Twenty Norwegian children assessed twice with Motor test in NUBU 4-16 with a two-week interval by the same experienced physiotherapist. Results: The intraclass correlation between the two assessments was 0.89 for the total score, and 0.84 for the model-based percentile. Conclusion: The results support that scores of the Motor test in NUBU 4-16 have high test-retest reliability when experienced physiotherapists assess the same child twice
Psychometric properties of the Motor test in NUBU 4-16: Investigations of interscorer reliability, concurrent validity, and utility
Aim: To investigate interscorer reliability of the Motor test in the new Norwegian test battery NUBU 4-16 (Neuro-motor assessment of children and youth 4-16), as well as concurrent validity and utility against the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2).
Design: Two studies: (1) Quantitative analyses of test scores from two independent scorings. (2) Quantitative analyses of test scores and questionnaire responses regarding utility and time consumption.
Materials and method: (1) 36 children assessed with the Motor test. Experienced physiotherapists scored the tests independently based on video recordings. (2) 52 children assessed with the Motor test and MABC-2 by experienced physiotherapists who also responded to open-ended questions.
Results: A high interscorer reliability: The intraclass correlation for the total score was 0.99, and the overall agreement for categorical scores was 86 per cent. The Motor test and MABC-2 displayed equivalent distributions of age-related percentiles. The correlation between age-related percentiles for total scores from the two tests was 0.68. Testers agreed to a great extent that the five areas of the Motor test provide a nuanced picture of childrens motor skills; however, the test is time-consuming. MABC-2 takes less time to administer.
Conclusion: Experienced testers can score the Motor test reliably. The Motor test and MABC-2 may be assumed to measure the same broad construct of motor skills. The Motor test may provide a more nuanced picture of childrens motor skills, but requires longer time to administer
