Sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is well documented among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-uninfected individuals. The use of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) may be associated with engagement in activities that facilitate the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and possibly HCV among PrEP users.…[Read more]

Triterpenoids are a powerful group of phytochemicals derived from plant foods and herbs. Many reports have shown that they possess chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects not only in cell lines and animal models but also in clinical trials. Because epigenetic changes could potentially occur in the early stages of carcinogenesis preceding…[Read more]

een the mental components of SF-36, indicates that the quality of life restriction is based on a physical, but not on a mental impairment.Monteggia lesions and Monteggia-like lesions involve ulna and radius injuries, which can not be successfully treated using the surgical principles of isolated fractures. Proximal ulnar fracture, radio-humeral…[Read more]

The statistical analysis manifested that the highly expressed LINC01116 was positively correlated with the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage (p=0.008), lymph node metastasis (p=0.005), and depth of invasion (p=0.007) of the GC patients. The patients with high expression of LINC01116 in the GC tissues had a shorter survival time than those with low…[Read more]

8% (95% CI 32.9-42.7). The multivariable analysis showed that odds of the utilization of LARCs were increased among reproductive-aged ≥25 years (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.21, 95% CI 1.04, 4.41), gave birth to ≥3 live births (AOR = 2.2, 95% CI 1.2, 4.04), employed (AOR = 1.92, 95% CI 1.17, 3.14), earned high monthly income (AOR = 2.02, 95% CI…[Read more]

50×10-5 cm2/s. Ample work is still needed to make a robust biosensor, but the results here characterize the electrochemical activity and represent principle steps in making a NOHA biosensor.We present a survey of variable stars detected in K2 Campaign 13 within the massive intermediate-age (~1 Gyr) open cluster NGC 1817. We identify a complete…[Read more]

Although data sharing is one of the primary measures proposed to improve the integrity and quality of published research, studies show it remains the exception not the rule. The current study examines the availability of data in papers reporting the results of analyses of empirical data from original research in high-impact addiction journals.…[Read more]
