This study examined common and unique genetic and environmental influences on weekend drinking and weekday drinking reported by US male and female adult participants (mean age = 43.9). Data from 96 monozygotic and 82 dizygotic twin pairs were used to estimate bivariate biometric models of daily levels of weekend and we…

The investigational compound BIA 10-2474, designed as a long-acting and reversible inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase for the treatment of neuropathic pain, led to the death of one participant and hospitalization of five others due to intracranial hemorrhage in a Phase I clinical trial. Putative off-target activit…

This cross-sectional, quantitative, exploratory study investigated the prevalence and profile of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) users amongst a convenience sample of 510 bodybuilders from 52 gyms, in João Pessoa, Brazil, with a structured questionnaire containing selected questions about socioeconomic and trai…

UNLABELLED: Obective: Although much has been studied regarding high-utilizing patients of medical services, no studies have been published regarding high-utilizing patients of integrated primary care behavioral health (PCBH) services. The primary purpose of the current study was to examine characteristics of high-utili…

OBJECTIVE: Contrary to the long-standing prerequisite of inducing selective (ie, bifidogenic) effects, recent findings suggest that prebiotic interventions lead to ecosystem-wide microbiota shifts. Yet, a comprehensive characterisation of this process is still lacking. Here, we apply 16S rDNA microbiota profiling and m…

On July 10, 1976, an explosion at a chemical plant in Seveso, Italy, released up to 30kg of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-the most potent dioxin congener. Twenty years later, the Seveso Women's Health Study (SWHS) initiated a follow-up assessment of a cohort of female Seveso residents. Researchers collecte…

OBJECTIVE: The diaphragm, an internal barrier contraceptive device, is a candidate for a female-controlled method for preventing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This study's objective was to examine how women who use the diaphragm differ from women using the pill and…

BACKGROUND: In a response to the lack of public awareness of dementia, 'ageing in place' and 'dementia-friendly community' policies have been proposed, and a number of relevant studies have been carried out. AIM: To map the evidence of public help for people with dementia in the community. DESIGN: A scoping review.…

BACKGROUND: The approach to the education and professional advancement of physiotherapists is particularly relevant today. To date, no studies have compared the perceptions of physiotherapists regarding professional issues in geographically close European countries such as Poland and Germany. Therefore, this study's pu…

The Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi (BASIC) project is a population-based stroke study comparing Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites. Extensive effort is made to detect all patients regardless of ethnicity and ensure equal participation in the interview among both groups. We describe here the study's…

Communicating information from antimicrobial resistance surveillance study data to microbiologists and physicians can be challenging. Large amounts of data, commonly reaching millions of MICs or zone diameter endpoints, must be analysed and condensed to easily-read tables or figures. Furthermore, data must not be preju…

The Editorial Board has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised about this study's reported data. We reached out to the authors to request their raw data, but they could not provide. Therefore, the Editorial Board no longer has confidence in the results presented.

We investigated the influence of childhood poverty on financial decision making under threat by replicating the findings of Griskevicius et al. (2011b), which found that individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds tend to make riskier financial decisions and prefer immediate over delayed gratification when exposed…

The intended research aims to explore the convection phenomena of a hybrid nanofluid composed of gold and silver nanoparticles. This research is novel and significant because there is a lack of existing studies on the flow behavior of hybrid nanoparticles with important physical properties of blood base fluids, especia…

Agricultural mechanization is an important component of agricultural modernization, as it contributes to the improvement of agricultural technology and the rapid transformation of agricultural development. However, research on the connection between agricultural mechanization and farmers' health status is scarce. Thus,…
