“…In Romania, PPD was considered "a taboo subject" with motherhood depicted in a way where the "mother is just this perfect, perfectly happy being" (Study management ID10) and many "underestimating their need for help" (Romania Local Staff ID1), with a lot of "stigma surrounding mental illness" (Romania Local Staff ID3) and "postnatal depression" (Romania Local Staff ID1). This reflects broader literature that argues PPD in Romania is often "ignored" and considered "not a disease" (37). This was reinforced by the suggestion that "Mothers do not trust the healthcare system [in Romania] and that there is anger and negativity toward birth experiences" (Ethnographic Notes).…”

BackgroundThere is a burgeoning evidence-base that demonstrates the positive impact of the arts on our health, wellbeing, and health behaviors. However, very few studies have focused on how to optimize the implementation of these activities for different sociocultural contexts. Due to the increasing interest in scaling effective arts interventions as part of public health strategies, and in line with global goals of achieving health equity, this is an essential focus.AimUsing the case study of a singing for post-partum depression (PPD) intervention with empirically-demonstrated clinical effects, this brief research report explores implementation of an arts and health intervention that has been successful in the United Kingdom (“Music and Motherhood”) for the new contexts of Silkeborg (Denmark) and Cluj-Napoca (Romania).MethodsData was collected from participants at all levels of the implementation structure including at local and management levels. The study draws on qualitative implementation data to explore participant experiences, including one-to-one interviews, written testimonies, meeting minutes, ethnographic researcher reflections and focus groups, including data from 46 participants in total.Results and conclusionWe explore implementation and adaptation across five key themes: (1) acceptability and feasibility; (2) practical and structural barriers and enablers; (3) adoption and sustainability; (4) broader contextual factors affecting implementation and sustainability; and (5) project structure and processes. Taken together, the themes demonstrate that arts interventions need to be adapted in culturally sensitive ways by stakeholders who have local knowledge of their environments. This research serves as an informative foundation for use by other researchers that aim to expand the reach and impact of arts-based interventions.

“…This suggests that mothers may be more likely to fall through the gaps, and not receive the treatment that they need during this vulnerable period. These risks due to the pandemic may also be exacerbated by the fact that PPD is considered to be a rather unknown or superficially treated phenomenon in Romania, among both the general population and health providers ( Dimitriu et al., 2020 ). The practical implications of our results, therefore, lie in raising awareness regarding PPD symptomatology, both among the general population and healthcare providers.…”

Granulomatous appendicitis is a very rare entity in children. It is related to Crohn’s disease in only 5-10% of the cases. The diagnosis of Crohn’s disease is a real challenge in the pediatric population, especially when its initial manifestation is acute appendicitis. Herein, we present a 13-year-old boy admitted for acute appendicitis. The histopathological examination was conclusive for acute granulomatous appendicitis. The development of an entero-cutaneous fistula has complicated the postoperative evolution. The failure of the conservative management required ileocecal resection. The pathological examination revealed Crohn’s disease. The one-year follow-up on the patient din not reveal any complications. We strongly support the importance of the histopathological examination of the entirely removed appendix. Careful assessment of granulomatous appendicitis is needed in order to establish its possible etiology and to initiate the adequate treatment.
