Black women experience myriad challenges post incarceration, from managing stigma within social relationships to navigating surveillance when interfacing with service systems. It is these challenges that also make them vulnerable participants in community-based research. With many of potential research harms not fallin…

BACKGROUND: By affecting the internal timing mechanisms of the brain, light regulates human physiology and behavior, perhaps most notably the sleep-wake cycle. Humans spend over 90% of their waking hours indoors, yet light in the built environment is not designed to affect circadian rhythms. OBJECTIVE: Using a device…

The molecular profile of neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK) gene fusions in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is not fully understood. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and pan-tyrosine kinase receptor (TRK) immunohistochemistry (IHC) are powerful tools for NTRK fusion detection. In this study, a total of 4,619 LUAD…

Many frontline communities experience adverse health impacts from living in proximity to high-polluting industrial sources. Securing environmental justice requires, in part, a comprehensive set of quantitative indicators. We incorporate environmental justice and life-cycle thinking into air quality planning to assess f…

As an emerging dietary essential fatty acid, pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) is expected to have bioactive metabolites with broad health benefits. Here, we evaluated pentadecanoylcarnitine, an endogenous C15:0 metabolite, for dose dependent cell-based activities, including measurement of its effects on 148 clinically releva…

Therapeutic Fairytales can support child development, and many studies have recognized its benefits for children. However, no one has integrated storytellers as a holistic tool to support children's overall development, whether in a clinical, educational, or family-based practice context. Therefore, this study conducte…

BACKGROUND: The community-based home care model is a vital strategy and pivotal response against global population aging. However, multidimensional empirical studies that quantitatively evaluate the design and consistency of community-based home care policies are scarce and have left a critical gap in understanding and…

BACKGROUND: Limited data exists on the association between social factors and depressive symptoms (DS) among college students. This study aimed to investigate associations between polysocial risk score (PsRS) and the mediating effects of resilience. METHODS: A total of 1234 college students were selected from three un…

AIM: The aim of the research was to investigate the predictive effect of nursing care quality perceived by inpatient children aged 9 to 12 on state anxiety levels. METHODS: The research was conducted with 201 inpatient children. Data were gathered using "The Scale for Evaluating the Quality of Care from Children's Poi…

INTRODUCTION: Stiffness is increased in vertebrae after kyphoplasty with bone cement is performed, which cause an increase in subsequent fractures in adjacent levels. This has led to increased interest in alternative filling materials such as bioactive calcium phosphate ceramics or silicon-based polymers. This study's…

Tinnitus, a distressing condition, significantly impacts psycho-social functioning. While medical interventions have been the norm for treating tinnitus, few studies have explored the efficacy of psychological treatments and their enduring effects. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief biofeedback tr…

OBJECTIVE: Microsurgery necessitates precision and skill, with conventional methods often leading to surgeon discomfort due to prolonged static postures. The introduction of robot-assisted microsurgery using the Symani surgical system and a three-dimensional exoscope aims to enhance surgical precision while mitigating…

This study reviews lateral ventricular tumors (LVTs), which are rare brain lesions accounting for 0.64-3.5% of brain tumors, and the unique challenges they present due to their location and growth patterns. Once deemed inoperable, advancements in microneurosurgery, imaging, and tumor pathobiology have significantly imp…

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of students' learning strategies can enhance academic support. Few studies have investigated differences in learning strategies between male and female students as well as their impact on United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE) Step 1 and preclinical performance. METHODS: The L…

This study explored the effect of childhood subjective socioeconomic status on mental health and the chain-mediating mechanism of perceived discrimination and status anxiety. A random survey was conducted via an online survey platform with 999 college students in east China. Participants completed the Childhood Subject…

BACKGROUND: Individuals with disabilities in low- and middle-income countries face barriers to rehabilitation services, including prosthetic care. Many countries, such as Ecuador, have adapted policies toward achieving universal health care coverage. For optimal functional outcomes, understanding the physical potential…

INTRODUCTION: Despite the risks of gestational disordered eating for both the mother and fetus, research into this subject is scarce within developing countries, particularly in Lebanon. Our study's objective was to delve into the predictors of disordered eating attitudes during pregnancy among a sample of Lebanese pre…

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 205 pediatric patients, including 150 post-COVID-19 patients and 55 noninfected patients. The study identified 10 common respiratory symptoms in post-COVID-19 patients, with significant differences in clinical symptoms between the 2 groups. Post-COVID-19 pediatric patients had a…

INTRODUCTION: The present study's central aim was to examine two questions: (1) Will there be differences in mental health outcomes between medics and non-medics who sought help at the Israeli Combat Reaction Unit (CRU)? (2) Will there be differences in mental health outcomes between combatants and non-combatants? MAT…

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the perinatal outcomes of dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancies reduced by the fetal reduction (FR) procedure and cases with continuing DCDA twin pregnancies without FR. MATERIALS AND METHODS: FR performed in a university hospital in the last 10 years was…
