When a woman expresses worries in connection to labour and birth, caregivers must be sensitive to the presence of underling fears or depressive symptoms and act to refer women to treatment or support.

Worries during pregnancy were mainly related to issues about pregnancy and birth, and specifically, to long distance to the labour ward. Women…[Read more]

In this study, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of the hydrozoan jellyfish Blackfordia virginica. The genome was a linear form (15,109 bp long, 73.6% AT), including 13 protein-coding genes (cox2, atp8, atp6, cox3, nad2, nad5, nad6, nad3, nad4L, nad1, nad4, cytB, and cox1), 2 tRNAs (tRNA-Met and tRNA-Trp), and 2 rRNAs (12S and 16S R…[Read more]

High positive cats had a median survival of 1.37 years (95% CI 0.83-2.02) from time of enrollment, while most low positive cats were still alive (93.1% survival). Quantitative results for p27 antigen concentration and proviral DNA load were highly correlated with survival times in FeLV-infected cats.Bisphenol A (BPA), a well-known endocrine…[Read more]

Angiogenesis is considered one of the hallmarks of cancer and plays a critical role in the development of tumor. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) is a member of the FGF family and participates in excessive cancer cell proliferation and tumor angiogenesis. Thus, targeting FGF-2 was considered to be a promising anti-tumor strategy. A…[Read more]

We hope our findings contribute to enriching the literature on health research with a low-cost method of monitoring outdoor air pollution.COVID-19 has been challenging our society since January 2020. Due to global travel, the new coronavirus has rapidly spread worldwide. This article aims to provide an overview of the challenges in implementing…[Read more]

Owing to the pre-oxidation achieved by NaIO4 under a mildly acid environment, sludge flocs were broken. Subsequently, chemical coagulation (APAM) agglomerated the smaller particles into larger flocs of sludge by adsorption and bridging, thus improving sludge dewaterability. PRACTITIONER POINTS A novel conditioner, pH/NaIO4 /APAM, was explored for…[Read more]

The increase in butanol yield via the co-fermentation technology reduced GWP-100 for the STJ pathway by 6.5% compared to traditional ABE fermentation. Similarly, the STJ pathway for the practical case with co-fermentation had 14.2%, 47.5%, 73.8%, and 44.4% less GWP-100 compared to HRJ, Fischer-Tropsch jet fuel from switchgrass, Fischer-Tropsch jet…[Read more]

to offset remaining high emissions may well hit other non-financial constraints and can thus only support, and not substitute, emission reductions.Owing to the rapid spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic worldwide, individuals experience considerable psychological distress daily. The present study…[Read more]

We developed a fully automated, two-step deep learning approach for characterizing coronary calcified plaque in intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images. First, major calcification lesions were detected from an entire pullback using a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN). Second, a SegNet deep learning model with the Tversky loss…[Read more]

Biofilms were shown to interact with pharmaceuticals and were reported to play a role in their capture from water. The antibiotics were reported to display a high risk for aquatic organisms.Even though numerous studies explore the impact of macroeconomic variables on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, only a few existing studies estimate the…[Read more]

8% accuracy. Shape variation showed no significant age or secular trend changes, though some weak positive allometric influence was detected in the variation between sexes and between the Coloured group and the other two ancestry groups. This study demonstrated that even isolated bones such as the occipital could be used for sex and ancestry…[Read more]
