The use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support health systems has been increasingly recognized as an important tool in postpartum care. An emerging body of research has suggested that telehealth during the postpartum period may alleviate racial disparities and transportation barriers, while improving access to…[Read more]

components of e-liquids have an effect on ACE2 expression, thus potentially increasing susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2. In addition, exposure to e-cigarette aerosols both with and without nicotine led to alterations in eicosanoid lipid profiles within the BAL. These data demonstrate that chronic, daily inhalation of e-cigarette aerosols fundamentally…[Read more]

The mechanism of the HHHBJ film with excellent fog collection efficiency is mainly related to the continuous efficient fog condensation on the top surface and droplet removal on the bottom surface in time. We believe the proposed multi-bioinspired HHHBJ film with droplet self-driven collection ability provides insights to conceive and construct a…[Read more]

ve methods, showing better results than FIB-4, APRI, and GPRI, and surpassed only by liver biopsy. FibroTouch is reliable in assessing liver fibrosis with different aetiologies.

FibroTouch demonstrates the highest diagnostic value for liver fibrosis and cirrhosis among non-invasive methods, showing better results than FIB-4, APRI, and GPRI, and…[Read more]

There have been major developments in healthcare services as well as changes in demographics in recent years, and this has, among other things, led to increased demand for ambulance services. In general, this has also led to calls for more highly educated paramedics.

Nurses’ turnover is a major global problem with significant service and cost implications. Although sizeable research inquiries have been made into the antecedents, the dynamics, and the consequences of nurses’ turnover, there is still a lack of fine-grained understanding of the psychological states that reflect the cumulative impact of different…[Read more]

HIV infection was the main risk of suffering Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). The clinical-epidemiological characteristics of PJP have currently changed, with there being few studies on this.

A retrospective observational study was carried out on paediatric patients diagnosed with PJP over a 17 year period in a third level hospital…[Read more]

Brain metastasis (BM) is a frequent complication of systemic cancer usually associated with poor prognosis. Survival depends on numerous factors, which complicates prognosis and treatment. It has been suggested that BM growing from previously dormant disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) may exhibit a milder phenotype than BM derived from continuously…[Read more]

Both crowdsourcing platforms are useful for rapid and low-cost recruitment of OA. The OA recruitment process was more efficient with ProA. Crowdsourcing platforms are potential sources of OA research participants; however, the pool is limited to generally healthy, technologically active, and well-educated older adults.Because they contain detailed…[Read more]

We examined the effectiveness of a manual therapy consisting of forearm skin rolling, muscle mobilization, and upper extremity traction as a preventive treatment for rats performing an intensive lever-pulling task. We hypothesized that this treatment would reduce task-induced neuromuscular and tendon inflammation, fibrosis, and sensorimotor…[Read more]

This paper reviews the therapeutic effects of phytomedicines with prominent effects against various factors implicated in the emergence and progression of AD.

To assess satisfaction of prosthesis users with their prostheses, and the problems they experience with the residual limb, using a checklist, in order to evaluate potential benefits of…[Read more]
