International migrants are one group that is vulnerable to discrimination and mental health problems. This study examined the experience of perceived discrimination and its impact on depressive symptoms among women who migrated in the specific context of marriage. Using social constructionism and the stress appraisal model, this study…[Read more]

A core evaluation framework that captures the health care and societal benefits of value added medicines (VAMs, also often called repurposed medicines) was proposed in Report 1, aiming to reduce the heterogeneity in value assessment processes across countries and to create incentives for manufacturers to invest into incremental innovation.…[Read more]

We discuss the main limitations complicating the interpretation of coinfection/superinfection studies, and the high potential perspectives in this fascinating research field, which is expecting to gain more and more interest in the next years for the obvious benefit of animal health.Background Colonic diverticular disease has been increasing in…[Read more]

These associations varied between women (β = 1.59, SE = 0.359 p less then 0.001) and men (β = 2.33, SE = 0.474, p less then 0.001) as well as 50-64 age group (β = 1.48, SE = 0.368, p less then 0.005) and 65+ age group (β = 2.51, SE = 0.467, p less then 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that experiencing hunger is associated with psy…[Read more]

Reconstruction quality is evaluated by accurate reconstruction of low-rank subspaces and activation maps. The use of L2 constraints was found to achieve consistently improved results, producing high fidelity reconstructions of statistical parameter maps at higher acceleration factors and lower SNR values than existing methods, but at a cost of…[Read more]

5-fold and 2-fold higher respectively, compared to the susceptible individuals. On the other hand, the voltage-gated sodium channel gene of the resistant cockroaches did not show nucleotidic substitutions in the domain II which are associated to knockdown resistance in this species. These results suggest that the main mechanism of resistance of…[Read more]

Micro/nanopatterning on a 2D surface is apt for cutting-edge miniaturization technology, which directly or indirectly requires high-end expensive lithographic tools. The evaporative deposition at the receding contact-line of a polymer solution, termed as Dynamic Contact Line Lithography (DCLL), can be a potential inexpensive technique for…[Read more]

Clinical instincts are developed through experience and observation of those more experienced. These skills need to be developed from junior years.

This research study showed that a bedside assessment can provide valuable information that will allow for diagnostic decisions to be made at the bedside. This study also highlighted the…[Read more]

Under the LSCM, the SA and NP materials were more effective to obliterate the opened dentin tubules and demonstrated higher resistance upon an erosive challenge. The EDS analysis evidenced levels of Ca, O, P, Si, Na and S.

Product containing potassium oxalate was the most effective in reducing Lp of dentin samples before and after an…[Read more]

Parasitic plants pose a serious agricultural threat, but are also precious resources for valuable metabolites. The heterotrophic nature of these plants has resulted in the development of several morphological and physiological features that are of evolutionary significance. Recent advances in large-scale sequencing technology have provided…[Read more]

Broad commonality was found between OLP and OLD in upregulation of specific immune system pathways. Classifying models discriminated histologically diagnosed OLD from OED based upon molecular data alone. Bioinformatic profiling showed that immune cell populations in OLP and OLD were consistent, and distinct from OED.

Molecular data shows…[Read more]

Peer-grouping is used in many sectors for organisational learning, policy implementation, and benchmarking. Clustering provides a statistical, data-driven method for constructing meaningful peer groups, but peer groups must be compatible with business constraints such as size and stability considerations. Additionally, statistical peer groups are…[Read more]

006 and 0.010) and APC cytoplasmic expression in cryptic cells (p less then 0.001) in SPs. CAs, APE1 (p less then 0.001) and Bcl-xL (p less then 0.001) were more expressed in the nuclei and cytoplasms, respectively. These results are related to the biological role proposed for these proteins in cellular functions. They can contribute to the…[Read more]
