Although being active is a central element of successful aging, we know little about activities which elderly people carry out in institutional environments. The first study's aim was to describe the importance of activation for the residents (n=255) and their nurses (n=171) using quantitative methods. To immerse into…

The study's proposal was to evidence a bibliography review about children' accidents. The bibliography and documental researches were used as methodology. The data made clear that children accidents are the bigger public health problem in England. In the United States, in 1989, had happened about 2,700 deaths as accide…

While several investigations assessing applications of contemporary motor learning theory to preclinic laboratory instruction have been successful, they provide only indirect and incomplete validation of theoretical constructs. This study's purpose was to further evaluate the validity of salient constructs through the…

AIM: The aim of this study is to explore the perspectives of patients, next of kin and healthcare professionals on planning a new end-of-life room in a department of surgery in an acute hospital. DESIGN: Qualitative study. METHODS: Between January and March 2023, 20 individual semi-structured interviews were conducte…

Despite the global water crisis, the significant potential of trickling filter systems as a crucial auxiliary option for sustainable water supply has received insufficient attention. Therefore, this study presents the first-ever evaluation of the environmental impacts of trickling filter application in wastewater treat…

BACKGROUND: Limited reports from prospective human studies investigated the possible role of vitamin K in the development of lung cancer although vitamin K's anticarcinogenic activities were verified from several in vitro and in vivo studies. We investigated the associations between total vitamin K intake from food and…

PURPOSE: The global incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has been increasing, and it has been proposed that a rising rate of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers is driving the observed changes in OPSCC incidence. We carried out this systematic review to further examine the prevalence of…

Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients suffer from circadian rhythm alterations affecting their daily physical activity patterns with less willingness to perform a voluntary exercise. In preclinical studies, there is no clarity on whether animal models of AD can replicate these impairments. Here, we provide a proof of conce…

INTRODUCTION: Poly-victimization (PV) has a greater adverse impact on adolescents' lives than any single victimization type, even when repeatedly experienced. Adolescents who experience PV tend to present with an array of adjustment problems, and research has begun to identify mechanisms linking PV to adjustment proble…

BACKGROUND: The media's key role in conveying health information to the public is not always supported by the quality of the reporting. Despite findings from observational studies (OSs) represent a substantial proportion of media health news, limitations of OSs are often overlooked in medical journals' abstracts, in pr…

Older people are often excluded from large studies of sexual health, as it is assumed that they are not having sex or are reluctant to talk about sensitive topics and are therefore difficult to recruit. We outline the sampling and recruitment strategies from a recent study on sexual health and relationships among older…

OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is effective for weight loss but may exacerbate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in predisposed patients. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate whether adding cruroplasty to LSG (Cr-LSG) improves postoperative GERD symptom control in patients with intr…

The rapid increase in globalization has fostered the emerging ecological challenges to halt human civilization, substantially highlighting the need for environmental management. The study's primary objective is to analyze the impact of environmental perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and attitude towar…

The lack of consistency and reproducibility in preclinical research remains a major ongoing challenge, often caused by poorly designed studies, inadequate attention to statistical power, and limited transparency in reporting. This review addresses this important issue by focusing on the theoretical framework that suppo…

OBJECTIVES: Antimicrobial resistance has emerged as a critical challenge when managing urinary tract infections (UTIs), highlighting the importance of education, behavioural changes, and non-antibiotic interventions as key preventative strategies. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of educational programs an…

In the realm of traditional roadway crash studies, cross-sectional modeling methods have been commonly employed to investigate the intricate relationship between the crash risk of roadway segments and variables including roadway geometrics, weather conditions, and speed distribution. However, these methodologies assume…

OBJECTIVES: The need for palliative care is constantly growing worldwide. Palliative care is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team in community-based facilities. As part of this team, physiotherapists can effectively address prevalent symptoms, such as pain, breathing difficulties and reduced functional capaci…

AIM: To determine if the delivery mode has a causal effect on neonatal serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. If such a causal effect exists, we aim to quantify its magnitude. METHODS: We investigated the causal effect of the delivery mode on serum CRP levels 6-8 h after delivery, with appropriate statistical t…

OBJECTIVE: To assist clinicians to make adequate interpretation of scientific evidence from studies that evaluate diagnostic tests in order to allow their rational use in clinical practice. METHODS: This is a narrative review focused on the main concepts, study designs, the adequate interpretation of the diagnostic ac…

OBJECTIVES: There are limited studies characterizing cancer-related symptoms in outpatient advanced prostate cancer patients. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the impact of an outpatient palliative care (PC) consultation on symptoms in patients with advanced prostate cancer. METHODS: We retrospectiv…
