How can we nudge people to not engage in unethical behaviors, such as hoarding and violating social-distancing guidelines, during the COVID-19 pandemic? Because past research on antecedents of unethical behavior has not provided a clear answer, we turned to machine learning to generate novel hypotheses. We trained a deep-learning model to predict…[Read more]

This article aims to perform an analysis of the factors that determine the self-perception of oral health of Brazilians, based on a multidimensional methodology basis. This is a cross-sectional study with data from a national survey. A household interview was conducted with a sample of 60,202 adults. Self-perception of oral health was considered…[Read more]

3%. Elderly patients and those with diabetes had lower objective olfactory evaluation results than young and non-diabetic individuals.

The prevalence of SLS in severe COVID-19 patients appears to be lower than previously estimated in mild-to-moderate COVID-19 forms. Future comparative studies are needed to explore the predictive value of…[Read more]

Developing a universal and simple structure with an excellent fluorescence enhancement is a highly desirable goal for practical applications in optical detection and imaging. Herein, a hybrid structure composed of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) microspheres covering an Au nanorod (AuNR) film (MS/AuNR for short) is reported to enhance fluorescence,…[Read more]

Pulses are dry leguminous crops consisting of beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas. They are a broad category of food that are often aggregated when their contribution to healthy dietary patterns are disseminated. However, the different genera and varieties of pulses vary in composition and are consumed in different amounts, largely dictated by…[Read more]

005 [stage III/IV] and P=0.004 [HGSC]; BRCA1/2 mutation P=0.03 [stage III/IV] and P<0.001 [HGSC]). Patients with BRCA1/2-mutated cancers showed improved OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.43-0.99; P=0.045) and a trend toward improved PFI (HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.22-1.06; P=0.07) and PFS (HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.51-1.03; P=0.07).…[Read more]

Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that EFT (

=.033, odds ratio [OR] 1.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.6-2.7), higher troponin I level>0.04 (

=.034, OR 5.3, 95% CI 1.1-24.8), and lower age (

=.003, OR 0.8, 95% CI 0.8-0.9) were significantly associated with longer conversion time.

We determined that EFT…[Read more]

lso influence the intervention effects. However, the overall quality of evidence was low and directly impacted on the interpretation of our results, suggesting that more high-quality random controlled trial (RCT)/longitudinal studies with less selection and detection bias, less inconsistency and less indirectness are needed when applying…[Read more]

Background Dietary patterns have a crucial role in modulating chronic inflammation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and inflammation markers and metabolic syndrome components in adolescents (n = 343). Methods Fasting glucose, fasting insulin and lipid profile were analyzed and blood pre…[Read more]

Current work focuses on the improvement of the solubility and dissolution of ACF by the cocrystal approach.

Aceclofenac (ACF) is one of the commonly used Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) representing a variety of therapeutic applications including management of pain, inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis,

Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) grown in serum-supplemented conditions are characterized by an extremely short G1 phase due to the lack of G1-phase control. Concordantly, the G1-phase-specific P53-P21 pathway is compromised in serum ESCs. Here, we provide evidence that P53 is activated upon transition of serum ESCs to their pluripotent ground…[Read more]
