Box 446, Jounieh, Lebanon, Email souheilhallit@usek.edu.lbBackground: Dysmenorrhea, characterized by painful menstrual cramps, significantly impacts the well-being of women globally. Despite its prevalence and adverse effects, dysmenorrhea is often underdiagnosed and inadequately treated. This study aims to validate the Arabic version of the Working ability, Location, Intensity, Days of pain, and Dysmenorrhea (WaLIDD) scale among Lebanese female university students aged 18– 45.Methods: This cross-sectional study, involving 729 participants, utilized a translated WaLIDD scale and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS-8).Results: Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) confirmed the one-factor structure of the WaLIDD scale, demonstrating excellent fit indices, with good internal reliability. Concurrent validity analysis revealed significant associations between higher WaLIDD scores and elevated levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in the study was estimated at 7.3%.Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of the WaLIDD scale as a reliable and valid tool for assessing dysmenorrhea among Arabic-speaking populations. The successful validation of the Arabic version facilitates its application in Lebanon and potentially other Arab regions, providing a universal tool to predict and assess dysmenorrhea and its impact. Further research is encouraged to explore the scale’s applicability in clinical settings and tailor interventions for improved women’s well-being.Keywords: dysmenorrhea, psychometric, scale, Arabic

Abstract

People across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists and ethologists have largely attempted to explain this phenomenon via mating preferences and strategies. Here, we test one of the most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from mating market and parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also test hypotheses drawn from other influential and non-mutually exclusive theoretical frameworks, from biosocial role theory to a cultural media perspective. Survey data from 93,158 human participants across 93 countries provide evidence that behaviors such as applying makeup or using other cosmetics, hair grooming, clothing style, caring for body hygiene, and exercising or following a specific diet for the specific purpose of improving ones physical attractiveness, are universal. Indeed, 99% of participants reported spending >10 min a day performing beauty-enhancing behaviors. The results largely support evolutionary hypotheses: more time was spent enhancing beauty by women (almost 4 h a day, on average) than by men (3.6 h a day), by the youngest participants (and contrary to predictions, also the oldest), by those with a relatively more severe history of infectious diseases, and by participants currently dating compared to those in established relationships. The strongest predictor of attractiveness-enhancing behaviors was social media usage. Other predictors, in order of effect size, included adhering to traditional gender roles, residing in countries with less gender equality, considering oneself as highly attractive or, conversely, highly unattractive, TV watching time, higher socioeconomic status, right-wing political beliefs, a lower level of education, and personal individualistic attitudes. This study provides novel insight into universal beauty-enhancing behaviors by unifying evolutionary theory with several other complementary

Abstract

People across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists and ethologists have largely attempted to explain this phenomenon via mating preferences and strategies. Here, we test one of the most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from mating market and parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also test hypotheses drawn from other influential and non-mutually exclusive theoretical frameworks, from biosocial role theory to a cultural media perspective. Survey data from 93,158 human participants across 93 countries provide evidence that behaviors such as applying makeup or using other cosmetics, hair grooming, clothing style, caring for body hygiene, and exercising or following a specific diet for the specific purpose of improving ones physical attractiveness, are universal. Indeed, 99% of participants reported spending >10 min a day performing beauty-enhancing behaviors. The results largely support evolutionary hypotheses: more time was spent enhancing beauty by women (almost 4 h a day, on average) than by men (3.6 h a day), by the youngest participants (and contrary to predictions, also the oldest), by those with a relatively more severe history of infectious diseases, and by participants currently dating compared to those in established relationships. The strongest predictor of attractiveness-enhancing behaviors was social media usage. Other predictors, in order of effect size, included adhering to traditional gender roles, residing in countries with less gender equality, considering oneself as highly attractive or, conversely, highly unattractive, TV watching time, higher socioeconomic status, right-wing political beliefs, a lower level of education, and personal individualistic attitudes. This study provides novel insight into universal beauty-enhancing behaviors by unifying evolutionary theory with several other complement

Abstract

Introduction: G6PD is essential for the production of NADPH, which is a cofactor for many enzymes involved in antioxidant defense and neurotransmitter synthesis. A deficiency in this enzyme could lead to increased oxidative stress, impaired neurotransmitter and immune function. The latter have been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Objectives: The present case is presented to underscore the infrequent and uncharacteristic manifestation of this condition, in the context of clinical symptoms and the trajectory of evolution of schizophrenia when associated with G6PD Deficiency. Moreover, it sheds light on the challenges clinicians encounter in the management of such cases. Methods: A case report of a patient who was admitted to the Psychiatry Department ("Ibn Omrane") of Razi Hospital". Results: Mr. M.T is a 26 year-old unmarried man. He comes from a non-consanguineous marriage and has an educational level of a bachelor's degree plus three additional years of study. He has a significant family medical history. His maternal uncle is under treatment for a chronic psychotic disorder. He has a personal history of G6PD deficiency and no specific habits to note. At the age of 24, he insidiously developed anxiety with incoherent statements of persecution accompanied by behavioral manifestations leading to mistrust and social isolation. He discontinued his studies for a year and began verbalizing suicidal thoughts accompanied by self-harm behaviors. The family sought help from a psychiatrist who prescribed 5 mg of olanzapine, which was covertly administered to the patient. At the age of 28, after a suicide attempt, he was involuntarily admitted to Razi Hospital. The clinical presentation was dominated by disorganization, with a partial response to treatment. Conclusions: More research is needed to confirm the association between G6PD deficiency and schizophrenia and to determine the underlying mechanisms. Larger studies with well-defined populations and methodologies are needed. It is also important to study the interaction between G6PD deficiency and other genetic and environmental factors that contribute to schizophrenia.

Abstract

Introduction: Psychotic experiences (PE) and disordered eating (DE) are frequently observed among the general population, especially in childhood and adolescence. However, the relationship between the two groups of disorders is still unclear. Objectives: To explore the hypothesis that the pathways from PEs to DE are mediated by body-image disturbances in a sample of adolescents Methods: We conducted a 12-month longitudinal study on high school students from four different high schools from the Ariana governorate, from April 2022 to April 2023. Participants were evaluated at baseline then every 6 months with a target length of follow-up of 1 year. The questionnaire contained Questions about socio demographic variables The Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26) The Multidimensionnal Body Self-Relations Questionnaire Appearance Scale (MBSRQ-AS) The Community Assesment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE-42) Results: 1) Sample characteristics Sample was constituted of 510 individuals. Of those, 312 (61.2%) were females. Mean age was of 16.05 (SD=1.01) years. The majority of the students resided in urban areas, accounting for 97.8% of the total. When it comes to family income, 4.1% of the students' families had an income of less than 1000 Tunisian Dinars (TD), 25.9% had an income between 1000 and 2000 TD, 32.2% had an income ranging from 2000 to 3000 TD, and the remaining 37.8% had a family income of over 3000 TD. The EAT-26, MBSRQ-AS and CAPE-42 scores are shown in table 1. Table 1. The longitudinal evolution of study variables Baseline T 6 months T 12 months p Partial Eta Squared η2 Disordered eating (EAT-26) 11.9 ± 9.4 11.9 ± 9.7 12.6 ± 10.2.080.006 Self-classified weight (Body image) 6.0 ± 1.7 5.9 ± 1.6 6.0 ± 1.6.946.001 Body areas satisfaction 30.9 ± 6.4 31.8 ± 6.4 31.4 ± 6.8.025.010 Overweight preoccupation 9.3 ± 3.6 9.2 ± 3.7 9.2 ± 3.7.545.001 Appearance Orientation 41.0 ± 5.4 41.6 ± 5.4 41.6 ± 5.5.007.014 CAPE positive dimension (total) 39.6 ± 8.7 39.1 ± 9.1 39.7 ± 9.5.756.001 Body Mass index 21.6 ± 3.4 21.5 ± 3.2 21.7 ± 3.2.034.009 2) Findings of the mediating analysis Disordered Eating scores had no significant effect in subjects across time. However, the effect of the interaction between baseline Overweight Preoccupation with Disordered Eating across time was statistically significant (p=0.036). Overweight Preoccupation (Z=85.095, p<0.001), Body Area Satisfaction (Z=25.053, p<0.001), and CAPE positive dimension (Z=59.931, p<0.001) scores had significant main effects between subjects. (figure 1 and figure 2) Image: Image 2: Conclusions: Findings showed that body image disturbances mediated the prospective association between PEs and DE. Adolescents with increased PEs were more likely to experience body image disturbances and, in turn, DE symptoms. These findings offer promising new avenues for prevention and early intervention.
