Assessment of adherence to HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) is required for studying therapeutic effectiveness and identifying subgroups needing focused education. The study's goals were to describe the level of ART adherence using self-reported recall over a 4-day period and to characterize determinants of lower adher…

This research tested hypotheses concerning attachment, social support, and grief responses to the loss of animal companionship. Participants whose companion cat or dog had recently died (N = 429) completed the Attachment Style Questionnaire, the Inventory of Complicated Grief, and the Multidimensional Health Profile-Ps…

A recent study evaluating the diagnostic performance of the 2023 MOGAD criteria found that it had relatively low specificity. However, this study did not apply the component of these criteria that requires exclusion of alternative diagnoses (item C) when evaluating its performance, raising questions surrounding the rel…

While interpersonal conflict at work continues to draw attention, researchers have rarely considered the role that conflict intensity plays in amplifying individuals' affective reactions to it. Hence, this study examines conflict intensity as a moderator of the relationship between interpersonal conflict and perceived…

This study investigated the specific contribution of occupations and work organization conditions to the onset and recurrent alcohol misuse in Canadian workers between 1994-1995 and 2002-2003. Longitudinal data were derived from Statistics Canada's National Population Health Survey, totaling 6,526 and 6,582 workers (45…

We conducted a retrospective study to determine the efficacy and safety of self-administration of vaginal misoprostol (following oral mifeprestone) for medical termination of pregnancy.

In 1967 the first extracranial to intracranial (EC/IC) arterial anastomosis was performed. Since that time, EC/IC bypass surgery has become a widely accepted surgical treatment for patients with intracranial stenotic or occlusive atherosclerotic lesions. In 1977 an international multicenter randomized trial was establi…

BACKGROUND: Previous research shows kinematic and kinetic coupling between the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) and midtarsal joints during gait. Studying the effects of MTP position as well as foot structure on this coupling may help determine to what extent foot coupling during dynamic and active movement is due to the wind…

BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a persistent inflammatory skin condition driven by an immune response and influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The high likelihood of disease recurrence has been a major concern for many patients, while the concurrent presence of other conditions has significantly impacted thei…

This study identifies health problems, instrumental activities of daily living, employment status, and number of previous admissions as significant factors of recidivism to a mental health residential facility. The study, conducted over a 5-year period, includes measures on 32 predictor variables collected either on ad…

Many studies, using information integration theory, have been devoted to the prediction of performance on the basis of ability and motivation information. However, it appears that only two societies. American and East Indian, have been examined with regard to their prevalent performance prediction model. Participants i…

The transfer of a small number of cells between parent and offspring during pregnancy, commonly referred to as microchimerism, is thought to occur in all human pregnancies. The impact of microchimeric cells on health outcomes in mothers and offspring with respect to cancer, remains unknown. Molecular and epidemiologica…

: MG53 is a myokine/cardiokine involved in membrane repair. Some preclinical studies suggest that it is associated with insulin resistance. Metabolic syndrome (MS) is manifested by dyslipidemia, hypertension (HT), visceral obesity, hyperinsulinism, and glucose intolerance. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between…

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: The development of simple postural stability tests that relate to performance of activities of daily living (ADL) and can be quickly performed in a clinical setting may assist clinicians in determining appropriate wheelchair configurations and postural supports in an efficient manner. The study's…
