    Abstract Background and objectives: We know little about how symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression interact during psychological therapy. Although some previous research suggests that reductions in the severity of depression are driven by reductions in OCD, support for this conclusion is limited due to the exclusion of individuals with severe depression and limitations of the statistical approaches used.
    Methods: This study re-examined the interaction between symptoms of OCD and depression during therapy in a sample of 137 adults with a primary diagnosis of OCD and a full range of depression severity. All participants received a 12 to 16-week specialist residential treatment. Participants completed the Florida Obsessive Compulsive Inventory and Patient Health Questionnaire for depression weekly. The relationship between severity of OCD and depression was examined using a random intercept cross-lagged panel model.
    Results: Both cross-lagged paths were significant, with prior levels of OCD influencing subsequent levels of depression, and prior levels of depression influencing subsequent levels of OCD.
    Limitations: The present study was conducted in a residential setting, meaning the findings may not generalise to outpatient settings characterised by less severe OCD and depression.
    Conclusions: Contrary to previous findings, which suggest that the influence of OCD on depression is far greater than the reverse, our findings suggest that OCD and depression influence each other equally. As improvements in mood can help to improve symptoms of OCD, it appears important to target depression concurrently during treatment for OCD. This would be a new treatment target for improvement outcomes in OCD.

    Abstract Introduction: Increasing numbers of young people are seeking gender-affirming healthcare in Aotearoa New Zealand, and although international studies report health and wellbeing benefits of early medical intervention, we have no published reports on the impact of health services in this country.
    Methods: Transgender young people accessing a specialist service providing medical gender-affirming healthcare were invited to take part in a survey about their health and wellbeing.
    Results: High or very high psychological distress levels were reported by 74% of respondents, with 39% being unable to access mental health support when needed.
    Discussion: Although the proportion of transgender young people with high or very high levels of psychological distress was five times greater (74%) than for the general population of young people (14.5%) in Aotearoa New Zealand, it was not as large as the proportion found for transgender young people in a community study (86%) in which an unmet need for hormones was reported by 29%. This highlights the need for clear referral pathways to access specialist gender-affirming healthcare services in order to reduce disparities in mental health outcomes.

    Abstract South African marine biogeography has received a great deal of attention in the past. However, offshore biogeographic breaks are based on abiotic variables or specialist opinion rather than data-driven approaches. Here we investigate biogeographic breaks based on the distribution of offshore marine benthic molluscs collected during the Natal Museum Dredging Programme (1981–1997) along the coast of South Africa, between the South East Atlantic and South West Indian Oceans. Spatially constrained (depth, latitude and longitude) cluster analyses were applied to three resemblance measures; the Jaccard coefficient, popular in biogeographic studies, and gamma+ and theta+ coefficients, where taxonomic relatedness is considered when comparing sites. We used these resemblances to 1) find the most consistent biogeographic breaks and 2) compare the results of different measures to better understand the patterns and possible processes involved in the biogeographical classification. Although there were differences in the overall results from the three resemblance measures, they produced comparable findings at depths shallower than 80 m. Our data-driven approach indicated that the biogeographic break between the warm-temperate and sub-tropical assemblages was 140 km north of the current inshore break. The break between the sub-tropical and tropical mollusc assemblages agreed more closely with the present Ecoregions. Compared to Jaccard, where relatedness is not considered, gamma+ and theta+ results revealed a more substantial depth effect, and samples collected in the same depth range were more closely related and shared a more recent evolutionary history than geographically close samples from different depths. Furthermore, assemblages found deeper than ∼80 m demonstrated greater diversity in terms of relatedness, an essential consideration in marine spatial planning and consequent designation of protected areas. This study reveals the importance of including in-situ data and interspecies relationships in future marine spatial planning to ensure that these evolutionary rich animal communities are considered adequately.

    Abstract Introduction: Some COVID-19 patients develop respiratory failure requiring admission to intensive care unit (ICU). We aim to evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) post-ICU in COVID-19 patients.
    Methods: Twenty-one COVID-19 patients were evaluated pre- and post-PR and compared retrospectively to a non-COVID-19 group of 21 patients rehabilitated after ICU admission due to respiratory failure.
    Results: PR induced greater 6-min walking distance improvement in COVID-19 patients (+205 ± 121 m) than in other respiratory failure patients post-ICU (+93 ± 66 m). The sooner PR was performed post-ICU, the better patients recovered.
    Conclusions: PR induced large functional improvements in COVID-19 patients post-ICU although significant physical and psychosocial impairments remained post-PR.

    Abstract Currently available therapies for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are inadequate to alleviate the inflammation and reduce joint damage. While the immune-regulatory effect of human mesenchymal/stromal stem cells (MSCs) extracellular vesicles (EVs) has been tested in many inflammation-related diseases, little is known regarding their effect on patients with RA. Thus, we assessed the effect of human MSCs and MSC-EVs (from naïve or IFN-β-primed MSCs) on CD4+ T cells from patients with RA. Moreover, we investigated the effect of MSC-EVs on RA patients-derived synovial fibroblasts (FLS). MSC-EVs were prepared using a PEG precipitation followed by ultracentrifugation-based protocol. Applied to RA CD4+ T cells, EVs from IFN-β-primed MSCs, suppressed the expression of more key RA-associated cytokines (IL-4, GM-CSF IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α), and decreased CD4+ T-cell polyfunctionality than MSCs or EVs from naïve MSCs. MSCs mediated a slight decrease in the frequency of T-regulatory cells, while MSC-EVs rescued the frequency of T-regulatory cells. MSCs significantly inhibited CD4+ T-cell proliferation (P < .05), while no inhibition was observed in response to EV preparations. EVs from IFN-β-primed MSCs inhibited (P < .01) RA FLS migration and downregulated (P < .05) RA FLS surface markers CD34 and HLA-DR. Collectively, we demonstrated the immune-modulatory function of MSCs and their derived EVs in RA CD4+ T cells, which could be further enhanced by priming MSCs with IFN-β. Moreover, EVs from IFN-β-primed MSCs more efficiently inhibit RA FLS migration, and expression of RA FLS-related surface markers, suggesting these EVs as a potent therapy for RA.

    Abstract Aim: This study aims to report primary care experiences among transgender people in Aotearoa New Zealand based on quantitative and qualitative data from a nationwide community-based survey of transgender people.
    Methods: Subsamples with a usual general practitioner were employed from the 2018 Counting Ourselves Survey (n=871) and the 2018/19 New Zealand Health Survey to assess inequities between these samples in primary care experiences and barriers. Guided by Andersen's Behavioural Model of healthcare access, we conducted a content analysis on comments from Counting Ourselves participants (n=153) to identify themes about issues of concern for transgender people when accessing primary care.
    Results: Transgender participants had greater risk of feeling no confidence in their GPs (Mdifference=0.22; Cohen's d=0.39), reporting barriers accessing primary care due to cost (38.4% vs 17.4%; RR=2.21), and transport issues (13.5% vs 3.0%; RR=4.58) compared to the general population. Content analysis uncovered how transgender people's primary care experiences are shaped by healthcare environments, predisposing characteristics, and enabling resources.
    Conclusion: Our findings indicate ways to ensure primary care services are inclusive so that all transgender people feel welcome. This requires all primary healthcare professionals to demonstrate core trans-specific cultural safety when providing healthcare to transgender patients.
