BACKGROUND: Late diagnosis of HIV is an important problem in the United States, particularly in ethnically and socially diverse communities. OBJECTIVES: We created and used a partnership covenant to ensure our adherence to community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles as we began studying and addressing ind…

This study examines the physical health, emotional well-being, and problem behavior outcomes associated with intimate partner abuse (IPA) victimization and perpetration experiences by analyzing a nationally representative, prospective, and longitudinal sample of 879 men and women collected from the National Youth Surve…

OBJECTIVE: Research demonstrates that hearing impairment is associated with premature all-cause mortality. Emerging work indicates that physical activity is associated with hearing sensitivity and muscle strengthening activities (MSA) are favorably associated mortality in the general population. Whether MSA can promote…

This letter commends the study by Wang et al. on the association between in-hospital hemoglobin (Hb) drift and outcomes in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients undergoing surgical clipping. The study's findings highlight the importance of vigilant Hb monitoring and timely interventions. Future research di…

The relatively high vulnerability of young Europeans in the labour market compared to other age groups has led many to seek alternative employment solutions, such as entrepreneurship. While not a comprehensive solution, entrepreneurial initiatives among youth can offer a valuable opportunity for their integration into…

Next-generation sequencing has challenged the consensus that predictive testing should not be performed on asymptomatic minors for conditions that are not medically actionable in childhood. While the available literature suggests that most parents want access to incidental findings discovered in genomic sequencing, the…

An emerging literature on human-perpetrated violence suggests that seemingly apparent random acts of violence may indeed have important embedded temporal patterns. This study reviews this literature and presents the temporal findings of a fifteen-year study of patient assaults on staff in health care settings. Temporal…

Smoking is a detrimental addiction contributing to many pathologies including cardiovascular disease and cancer. This retrospective study's aim was to assess the impact that conservative measures, like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and cessation clinic referral, have on smoking cessation on a respiratory ward. The…

Decision-making is a central aspect of crisis management, yet research and literature directed at the topic are scarce. Consequently, practitioners have access to very few new decision-making insights. To help fill this knowledge gap, a study of leader decision-making during the 2017 Northern California firestorm was u…

Dubourg, "Noncontiguous Finished Genome Sequence and Description of Intestinimonas massiliensis sp. nov Strain GD2T, the Second Intestinimonas Species Cultured from the Human Gut," Microbiology Open 8, no. 1 (2019): e00621, http…

This is a descriptive, exploratory, phenomenological study on children's lived experiences of perceiving the human energy field using Therapeutic Touch (TT). Eleven children, 3 to 9 years of age, willingly participated in the study. The study's findings suggest that children can feel the human energy field with purpose…

Research describing fetal arterial structure and function is lacking within the literature. This study's purpose was to measure intima-media thickness (IMT), compliance and distensibility of 24- to 25-week fetuses' abdominal aortas using conventional ultrasonography from 16 diabetic (DM) and 25 non-diabetic mothers (ND…

Schistosomiasis poses a significant global health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions like Sudan. Although numerous epidemiological studies have examined schistosomiasis in Sudan, the genetic diversity of Schistosoma haematobium populations, specifically through analysis of the mtcox1 gene, remains…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this paper is to describe how the ICF framework was applied as the foundation for a longitudinal study of changes in quality-of-life (QoL) for youth with chronic conditions. METHOD: This article will describe the study's aims, methods, measures and data analysis techniques. It will point ou…

Yorkshire piglets serve as valuable animal models in biomedical research, including partial heart transplantation research. This study characterizes the swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) diversity within a cohort of 16 Yorkshire piglets, including 5 genetically modified to express green fluorescent protein (GFP). Employing…

BACKGROUND: Glycolic acid has been used extensively for the treatment of photoaging and wrinkles. Suggestions have been made that glycolic acid may have specific dermal effects, although biochemical studies are limited. OBJECTIVE: This study's purpose was to examine the effect of glycolic acid on the radioactively lab…

Existing studies have failed to adequately determine the combined effects of attachment and filial obligation as motives for adult children's caregiving behavior. This study's aim was to clarify the effects of these motives on caregiving and subsequent feelings of burden. In a path analysis of data from 78 daughters ca…
