The international community has set ambitious goals (Millennium Development Goals) to improve health in developing countries by 2015. Effective and often cheap interventions exist to achieve these goals. In the mainland of Tanzania, one of the poorest countries of the world, we explored the human resources challenges o…

A relationship exists between mechanical loading and bone morphology. Although studies show a relationship between trabecular bone morphology and locomotor strategy in mammals, none of them have studied trabecular bone morphology in felid species occupying disparate and overlapping habitats. We investigate trabecular b…

Trichophyton, important among the three keratinophylic fungi grouped as dermatophytes, is known to cause superficial infections in skin, nail and hair of all the living organisms. The side effects produced by the drugs currently administered to counter these infections have necessitated the search for novel targets. Th…

Replication is an essential requirement for scientific discovery. The current study aims to generalize and replicate 10 propositions made in previous Twitter studies using a representative dataset. Our findings suggest 6 out of 10 propositions could not be replicated due to the variations of data collection, analytic s…

Heatwaves have caused significant damage to human health, infrastructure, and economies in recent decades, and the occurrences of heatwaves are becoming more frequent and severe across the globe under climate change. The previous studies on heatwaves have primarily focused on air temperature, neglecting other variables…

Individual differences in love attitudes and the relationship between love attitudes and other variables in Asian culture lack in-depth exploration. This study conducted cluster analysis with data regarding love attitudes obtained from 389 college students in mainland China. The result of cluster analysis based on love…

The history of human subjects research and controversial procedures in relation to it has helped form the field of bioethics. Ethically questionable elements may be identified during research design, research implementation, management at the study site, or actions by a study's investigator or other staff. Post-approva…

Until recently, studying the murine methylome was restricted to sequencing-based methods. In this study we compared the global DNA methylation levels of hairless mouse epidermis using the recently released Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip from Illumina and whole genome bisulphite sequencing (WGBS). We also studied t…

BACKGROUND: Streptococcus suis is an encapsulated Gram-positive bacterium and the leading cause of sepsis and meningitis in young pigs, resulting in considerable economic losses in the porcine industry. S. suis is considered an emerging zoonotic agent with increasing numbers of human cases over the last years. In the e…

Although researchers are often concerned with the presence of participant demand, few have directly examined effects of demand on participant behavior. Before beginning the present study, a confederate informed participants (N = 100) of the study's purported hypothesis. Participants then performed a laboratory task des…

Longitudinal tracking of 107 three- to-thirteen-year-olds in a cross-sequential design showed a 6-step theory of mind (ToM) sequence identified by a few past cross-sectional studies validly depicted longitudinal ToM development from early to middle childhood for typically developing (TD) children and those with ToM del…

The day before the Stanford prison experiment began, the investigators held an orientation session for the guards in which they communicated expectations for hostile guard behavior, a flippant prisoner mindset, and the possibility of ending the study prematurely. While the study's principal investigator has minimized t…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this research was investigating the role of lifestyle, knowledge and health beliefs in performing preventive behaviours against HPV in married women. BACKGROUND: Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a significant public health concern in Iran, with a relatively high prevalence in the general female po…

In the field of geriatric orthopedics, the correlation between Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) assessment and postoperative outcomes in elderly trimalleolar fracture patients remains a critical area of investigation. The retrospective study by Zhou et al. examines this relationship through postoperative complication analy…

BACKGROUND: Human rights are an important part of nursing practice. Despite its importance for professional development and practice, few studies have focused on how to include a human rights perspective in nursing education. One area proven to be particularly challenging is the right to food for older people in nursin…

Studies have shown that local (e.g., midseries) items' specific properties, including being isolated from rest of the items, can generate a local distinctiveness effect, enhancing the memory performance for the local items in serial recall or absolute judgments. However, this has not been the case in relative (comparat…

BACKGROUND: LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and others) people face a unique set of barriers to receiving quality healthcare. Very little exists in nursing literature that addresses these barriers. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze patient experience data to better understand the c…

Though much effort is often put into designing psychological studies, the measurement model and scoring approach employed are often an afterthought, especially when short survey scales are used (Flake & Fried, 2020). One possible reason that measurement gets downplayed is that there is generally little understanding of…
