Stanley Milgram's study of "obedience to authority" is one of the best-known psychological experiments of the twentieth century. This essay examines the study's special charisma through a detailed consideration of the intellectual, cultural, and gender contexts of Cold War America. It suggests that Milgram presented no…

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…

Unilateral cleft lip (UCL) is one of the most common craniofacial deformities. Surgical intervention reconstructs lip and nose anatomy; however, some degree of asymmetry persists after repair. This demonstrates a need for a model for studying and improving outcomes for patients with orofacial clefts. This study's main…

HIGHLIGHTS A grain handling scenario-based survey was administered to college students studying agriculture. Participants chose an action after reading each scenario and ranked factors affecting their decision-making. Most participants chose a "safe" option and claimed to value their personal safety when making decisio…

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…

We report a case of hypervagotonia manifested by idioventricular rhythm in a healthy, athletic man who participated in a Phase I study of an investigational calcium-channel blocker. Upon breaking the study's double-blind study code, it was discovered that the subject had received placebo. We discuss this unusual findin…

This study's primary objective is to investigate the connection between carbon emissions and global warming by tracking how these emissions causes the climatic changes spread across the environment. Based on theories established from past observations that the effect rates for various factors, a mathematical model has…

Over the past few decades, the case-control method has been mostly applied to risk-factor studies of chronic diseases. Recently, among its new applications is the use of the method to study the health effect of improvements in sanitation and water supply. The methodological considerations, prospects and constraints of…

BACKGROUND: With the drastic change in the nursing education environment due to the coronavirus pandemic, several attempts have been made in Korea to help nursing students better adapt to the new learning environment. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore nursing students' experience of online peer tutoring based on…

Recent advances in prevention science provide evidence that adolescent health and behavior problems can be prevented by high-quality prevention services. However, many communities continue to use prevention strategies that have not been shown to be effective. Studying processes for promoting the dissemination and high-…

Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a category of JIA where multiple joints are affected by chronic inflammation, and where serious and lasting damage to joints is the expected natural history in untreated disease. There is evidence of response to disease-modifying antirheumatic and biologic drugs, but…

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…

This paper introduces several proof-of-concept (PoC) computational methods intended to offer biochemical researchers straightforward, time- and cost-effective strategies to accelerate their work. While Machine Learning (ML) models were developed, the study's central purpose was to explore approaches for the identificat…

BACKGROUND: The use of technological devices today is widespread. One of these devices is the smartphone. It can be argued that when smartphones are thought of as a means of communication, they can influence communication skills. AIM: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of nursing students' smartphone add…

Healthy and sustainable territories correlate with health promotion and human development, the reduction of existing vulnerabilities in the territory, and sustainable development. The study's objective is to develop a Healthy and Sustainable Territory Index, with indicators from 2010 secondary data, for territorial cla…

The author presents two examples illustrating the bias in sample-size estimates that can result from ignoring measurement error among study variables. The first example examines the impact of ignoring misclassification of the study's outcome variable on the accuracy of sample-size estimates. In addition, the author out…

This study evaluates the relationship between the social climate from different services and the personal goal-directed activities of 224 individuals with AIDS. The study's results supported the main hypothesis that "recipient" and "participatory" service involvement uniquely influence personal goal-directed activities…

While a number of studies have attributed critical incident stressors to alcohol abuse among police officers, no study has examined the role gambling, if any, plays on problematic alcohol consumption. Therefore, data from the Police Stress and Domestic Violence in Police Families in Baltimore, Maryland, 1997-1999 are a…

The human visual system can extract information on surface reflectance (lightness) from light intensity; this, however, confounds information on reflectance and illumination. We hypothesized that the visual system, to solve this lightness problem, utilizes the internally held prior assumption that illumination falls fr…

This commentary reviews the cross-sectional study by Denche-Zamorano et al. examining the relationship between pain distribution, physical activity, grip strength, exercise issues, and frailty risk. The commentary acknowledges the study's in-depth analysis of the association between widespread pain and frailty, while p…
