We discuss the findings in relation to their contribution to psychological contract theory.Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) has been considered a potential behavioral or non-substance addiction that requires further investigation. Recognition of the commonalities between IGD and Substance Use disorders (SUD) would be of great help to better…[Read more]

Rapid detection of infection is essential for stopping the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The Roche SD Biosensor rapid antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 was evaluated in a nonhospitalized symptomatic population. We rapid-tested a sample onsite and compared results with those from reverse transcription PCR and…[Read more]

The postoperative inflammatory marker trend and levels did not differ between the patients with and those without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Low postoperative LMR (days 4-7), high postoperative NLR (days 8-21), and high postoperative PLR (days 22-56) were optimal for prognosticating poor 1-year OS, whereas high…[Read more]

lume using SWIM provided an accurate method for determining the hypoperfusion area and provided a reliable method to reflect the hypoxia of penumbra.

• SWIvolume-DWI mismatch has higher diagnostic efficacy than SWIASPECTS-DWI mismatch in defining the ischemic penumbra. • SWIvolume-DWI mismatch shows good consistency with PWI-DWI mismatch in man…[Read more]

Metal carbenes are key intermediates in a plethora of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic processes. However, despite their importance to heterogeneous catalysis, the influence of surface attachment on carbene reactivity has not yet been explored. Here, we reveal the interactions of fluorenylidene (FY), an archetypical aromatic carbene of…[Read more]

vivors. The questionnaire could identify that they experience severe difficulties in a wide range of domains compared with a control group. Trial registry ClinicalTrials.gov Ref# NCT02767180.

This study describes the development of a provisional questionnaire to identify health-related quality of life issues and long-term burden of disease…[Read more]

D-dimer concentration has been used by institutions to identify candidates for intensified anticoagulant treatment for venous thromboembolism prevention and for the mitigation of the microthrombotic complications associated with COVID-19. Thromboelastography (TEG) maximum amplitude (MA) has been validated as a marker of hypercoagulability and MA…[Read more]

The MTT assay indicated that the growth factor release from the PVA nanofibers has stimulated cell proliferation and promoted cell viability. In the cell attachment study, the GFs incorporated PVA nanofibers stimulated cell proliferation and adhered better than the PVA control sample and presented no cytotoxic effect. The in vivo studies showed…[Read more]

The fertilised chick egg and particularly its chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) have drawn continuing interest in biomedicine and bioengineering fields, especially for research on vascular study, cancer, drug screening and development, cell factors, stem cells, etc. This literature review systemically introduces the CAM’s structural evolution,…[Read more]

To describe the extent of participation and engagement in family activities and explore variables potentially impacting on these factors in family activities among girls and young women with Rett syndrome (RTT) under the age of 21.

The Child Participation in Family Activities (Child-PFA) questionnaire was sent to parents in the target…[Read more]
