This study was undertaken to learn more about a group of patients, married women, who had become housebound by their phobic anxiety symptoms. It was felt that it would be of some value to discover to what extent they formed a homogeneous group, what the outcome of their illness was in general terms, and specifically what proportion remained housebound and what data there had been available on admission to hospital that might in retrospect be seen to have had prognostic significance.

ObjectivesMothers with young children are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of the lifestyle changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the association between such changes and maternal mental health has not been examined, and comparable pre-COVID-19 baseline data were lacking. Thus, we aimed to examine the relationships between changes due to COVID-19 pandemic and the development of depressive and anxiety symptoms among mothers of infants and/or preschoolers in Japan.DesignProspective follow-up study. The baseline survey was conducted in February 2020, and the follow-up survey was conducted in June 2020.SettingAll 47 prefectures in Japan.ParticipantsAt the baseline, 4700 mothers of infants and/or preschoolers (0–6 years) participated in the online survey (100 respondents per prefecture); 2489 of them also participated in the follow-up survey. After excluding 203 participants with a higher risk of severe mental illness at the baseline, 2286 were included in the analysis.Outcome measuresThe Kessler Psychological Distress Scale was used to measure depressive and anxiety symptoms, with a cut-off point of 13 or more. We estimated the adjusted OR (AOR) using multiple logistic regression analysis.ResultsDuring the follow-up period, 151 (6.6%) of respondents newly developed depressive and anxiety symptoms. Participants who experienced a shortage of relaxation time (AOR 1.61, 95% CI 1.06 to 2.47), increased difficulty in child rearing (AOR 1.89, 95% CI 1.32 to 2.70), increased partner aggression (AOR 2.93, 95% CI 1.42 to 6.05) and an increased sense of unfairness (AOR 1.74, 95% CI 1.10 to 2.73) were more likely to develop these symptoms.ConclusionsChanges in circumstances and perceptions during COVID-19 outbreak were significantly related to the development of depressive and anxiety symptoms among mothers of young children. Strategies to reduce solo parenting and increase social awareness related to domestic violence are needed.

Abstract Background: Giving birth is a joyful, unique event and a highly individual experience in a woman's life. Childbirth experience has a significant role in developing self-confidence and positive feelings for the newborn. This experience is affected by many factors, including the mode of delivery. This paper tries to depict the experience of labor, delivery, and neonatal outcomes observed during the implementation of labor and delivery outcome study at selected hospitals in Eastern Ethiopia hospitals. Method: A hospital-based follow-up study was implemented in Hiwot Fana and Jegula Hospital in Harar, Bisidimo hospital in Eastern Hararghe, Oromia, and Dil-Chora Hospital in Dire Dawa from June 2020 to October 2020. A total of 2246 women with labor experience visited the hospitals were followed from delivery until discharge to document their experience and neonates' outcomes. Data were collected through a face-to-face interview using a structured pre-tested questionnaire. A Phenomenological approach qualitative study design will also be employed from April to May 2021. The women who give birth to normal single-term newborns through vaginal or a cesarean section will be included in the study. Women with stillbirth twin, preterm and congenital malformation, serous ill neonates, and who admitted to for more than one week will be excluded because those women will be extreme or deviant cases. In-depth interviews coupled with tape recording and note-taking will be to collect the data. A semi-structured interview guide will consider four domains of the Roy adaptation theory: an open-ended question (physiological, self-concept, role and function, and interdependence). Translated files will be transferred to open code software in a plain text format. Coding and categorization will be done on a system to generate a synthesized theme. Discussion The study will provide a comprehensive evaluation of the birth experience and its neonatal outcome in Eastern Ethiopia. Understanding women's birth experience and neonatal outcome based on birth can help health professionals look inside themselves. It will form the foundation and development of a new guideline to improve maternity care.

Scanning microscopy was used to study the surface of human gallstones and the surface of fractures. The specimens were obtained by operation, washed with water, dried at room temperature and shadowcasted with carbon and aluminum. Most of the specimens belong to patients from a series of X-ray follow-up study, examined during the last twenty years. So it was possible to evaluate approximately the age of these gallstones and to get information on the intensity of growing and solving.Cholesterol, a group of bile pigment substances and different salts of calcium, are the main components of human gallstones. By X-ray diffraction technique, infra-red spectroscopy and by chemical analysis it was demonstrated that all three components can be found in any gallstone. In the presence of water cholesterol crystallizes in pane-like plates of the triclinic crystal system.
