BACKGROUND Our study addresses a gap in the modern information systems (IS) use literature by investigating factors that explain patient portal satisfaction (SWP) and perceptions about health-seeking behavior (HSB). A novel feature of our study is the incorporation of actual portal use data rather than the perceptions of use intention, which…[Read more]

To explore the use of health plan quality measures specified for electronic clinical data to monitor immunizations.

We analyzed 2018 data submitted by health plans reporting 2 new Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set measures assessing receipt of clinically recommended vaccines among pregnant women and adults. We analyzed the…[Read more]

Electrochemical impedance spectra of composite materials contain information on the topological arrangement, volume fraction, and shape of particles, as well as the dielectric properties of the matrix and particles. The objective of this study is to investigate how these parameters affect the dielectric spectrum and what reliable information can…[Read more]

Seedlings sown in non-sterile conditions could be maintained on MSTT agar for up to a week without observable contamination. selleck kinase inhibitor This medium was compatible with rapid screening methods for hygromycin B, phosphinothricin (BASTA) and nourseothricin resistance genes, meaning that positive transformants can be identified from…[Read more]

In addition to isolating patients, it is essential to track, screen, and isolate those who have come in close contact with patients. Self-isolation is the key especially for healthy people in the epidemic area.The protein sources in feed have a huge impact on good-quality and -quantity meat traits. Yellow lupin (YL) seeds have a similar level of…[Read more]

Importantly, the correlation between 14-3-3ε expression, PIs sensitivity and protein load was observed in primary MM cells from two independent datasets; and its lower expression was associated with poor outcome in MM patients receiving a bortezomib-based therapy. Altogether these observations suggest that 14-3-3ε is a predictor of clinical o…[Read more]
