This study examined the psychometric properties of three stigma measures (Stigma Concerns about Mental Health Care [SCMHC], Social Distance Scale [SDS], and Latino Scale for Antidepressant Stigma [LSAS]) among a depressed, Hispanic sample. Data were collected during baseline assessments for two studies taking place in primary care settings (N = 500). Psychometric and factor validity were tested for each measure. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated adequate model fit, and adequate internal consistency reliability was found for all three measures. Stigma scores significantly differed by education level and gender. Findings from this analysis provide support for the use of the SCMHC, SDS, and LSAS in a depressed, Hispanic population. Assessing barriers to depression treatment, including stigma, are critical in engaging Hispanics in care and eliminating disparities for the population.Skeletal muscle is an electrically and mechanically active tissue that contains highly oriented, densely packed myofibrils. The tissue has self-regeneration capacity upon injury, which is limited in the cases of volumetric muscle loss. Several regenerative therapies have been developed in order to enhance this capacity, as well as to structurally and mechanically support the defect site during regeneration. Among them, biomimetic approaches that recapitulate the native microenvironment of the tissue in terms of parallel-aligned structure and biophysical signals were shown to be effective. In this study, we have developed 3D printed aligned and electrically active scaffolds in which the electrical conductivity was provided by carbonaceous material (CM) derived from algae-based biomass. The synthesis of this conductive and functional CM consisted of eco-friendly synthesis procedure such as pre-carbonization and multi-walled carbon nanotube
