Hyperventilation-induced nystagmus (HVIN) has previously been shown by the senior author to be common in patients with both acoustic neuromas and following resection. The recurrent study's aim was to examine if HVIN was specific for retrocochlear pathology. To test this, the incidence of HVIN in 24 patients with confir…

Drawing from the Social Model of disability, six people with learning difficulties participated over 18 months in researching their own lived experiences. The method involved weekly group discussions supplemented by participant observation. The study's value stems from in-depth inquiry, which included the participants…

The study's major purpose was to explore the pain management of the older adult with rheumatic disease. Medication, rest, heat, distraction, exercise, and talking with others were methods most often used by older adults (n = 31). Methods identified by them as most helpful included medication, rest, and heat. When the p…

An emerging need to educate nurses in innovative ways of working that respond to and interact with informal support networks was discerned. Accordingly, this study's purpose was to develop a conceptual framework for undergraduate nursing education that manifests a primary health care philosophy of consumer input and co…

Conflicting reports regarding the utility of a previously described single point prediction dosing method for lithium prompted the present study's reexamination of the relationship between a single point lithium concentration and the lithium maintenance dose. Seventeen informed, adult patients with affective illness we…

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a type of pain resulting from damage or dysfunction of the somatosensory system. Emerging evidence suggests that lipid-lowering drugs may influence the development or progression of NP. This study's objectives are to examine the association between statin use and diabetic peripheral neuropathy…

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) presents with fatigue, low motivation, diminished mood, and reduced activity, all symptoms having extensive diagnostic overlaps with depression. Studies have linked chronic viral infections with CFS, and antiviral therapy has effectively treated CFS in adult patients. In a retrospective c…

BACKGROUND: People released from correctional settings are at an elevated risk of opioid overdose death in the weeks immediately following release. However, it is not well understood how this population, as a particularly high-risk group, is included in, and benefits from take-home naloxone (THN) programs. The objectiv…

OBJECTIVES: To determine a plausible estimate for a test's performance in a specific setting using a new method for selecting studies. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: It is shown how routine data from practice may be used to define an "applicable region" for studies in receiver operating characteristic space. After qualitat…

The pilosebaceous unit is the site of a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder called acne. Tight junctions (TJ) are present in sebocytes and are primarily composed of claudin-1. When claudin-1 is knocked down, the TJ barrier leaks, and holocrine secretion is compromised. This leads to the accumulation of partially…

National Biomechanics Day (NBD) is an international celebration of biomechanics that seeks to increase the awareness and appreciation of biomechanics among the high school community. Initial research supports the positive effects of NBD on students' attitudes toward the field of biomechanics; however, quantitative evid…

OBJECTIVE: Both schizophrenia and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) are known as immune-related disorders. We systematically reviewed observational studies to explore the relationship between schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and T1D. METHODS: A preliminary search of articles was completed using the fol…

Two researchers (F.B and S.K.F.-P.) reviewed the abstracts and titles of all of the acknowledged research to determine whether it was eligible for inclusion in the present meta-analysis according to the inclusion criteria. The authors included all of the relevant available data from 17 articles on interventional studie…

OBJECTIVES: Economic evaluations of vaccines should accurately represent all relevant economic and health consequences of vaccination, including losses due to adverse events following immunization (AEFI). We investigated to what extent economic evaluations of pediatric vaccines account for AEFI, which methods are used…

This study addresses the relation between attrition and characteristics of the study protocol, specifically contact frequency, and respondent burden. The study is based on data from a longitudinal study with side studies on various topics, so that respondents have differential exposure to these study characteristics. A…

OBJECTIVE: This preliminary study sought to provide initial insights into lead concentrations within the follicular fluid of infertile patients with and without endometriosis, tentatively observing any potential links between lead presence and the condition. Furthermore, we attempted to discern whether these levels mig…

Fine particulate matter (PM) is a significant air pollutant that drives the most chronic health problems and premature mortality in big metropolitans such as Delhi. In such a context, accurate prediction of PMconcentration is critical for raising public awareness, allowing sensitive populations to plan ahead, and provi…

INTRODUCTION: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) represents a public health concern in several areas of the world. In the American continent, VL transmission is typically zoonotic, but humans with active VL caused by Leishmania infantum are able to infect sandflies. Thus, individuals with cutaneous parasitic infections may ac…

The catecholamines dopamine and noradrenaline have been implicated in spontaneous low-frequency fluctuations in reaction time, which are associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and subclinical attentional problems. The molecular genetic substrates of these behavioral phenotypes, which reflect fr…

Genetic variants in PIK3CD, PIK3R1 and NFKB1 cause the primary immune deficiencies, activated PI3Kδ syndrome (APDS) 1, APDS2 and NFκB1 haploinsufficiency, respectively. We have identified a family with known or potentially pathogenic variants NFKB1, TNFRSF13B and PIK3R1. The study's aim was to describe thei…
