Do the results of a scientific study influence confidence in the study's validity and the magnitude of change in the resulting perceived danger of the health risk investigated? Findings from the three investigations reported here indicate that scientific results that confirm a danger (negative results) do affect confid…

The dentato-rubro-olivary pathway, also known as the Guillain-Mollaret triangle (GMT) or myoclonic triangle, consists of the dentate nucleus, the red nucleus, and the inferior olivary nucleus (ION). GMT is important for motor coordination and control, and abnormalities in this network can lead to various neurological d…

One of the central ethical tenets of research in developing countries is the sponsor's obligation to benefit host participants and communities. Two known models of benefits provision dominate the ethical discourse of research in developing countries. The first model, known as the "reasonable availability," endorses the…

Over 60,500 dengue cases were reported in the state of Espírito Santo (ES), Brazil, between 1995 and 1998. The study's purpose was to identify whether Aedes albopictus was transmitting the dengue virus during an epidemic in the locality of Vila Beth nia (Viana County),Vitória, ES. From April 3 to 9, 1998, blo…

As the number of college students infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has increased significantly in China, the risk of occupational exposure to HIV among healthcare workers (HCW) in college campus clinics has also increased. Our study aimed to evaluate the awareness of HCWs in terms of preventing occu…

This study's goal was to evaluate the pilot exclusive lane for motorcycles (Motovía) in Cali, Colombia, from the perception of its users in 2012-2013. A cross-sectional study using roadside surveys plus a qualitative component of individual semi-structured interviews was carried out. Road users' perceptions were i…

To use a visualized method, tipping-point analysis to address missing data in clinical study and discuss related problems. All the possible outcomes caused by missing data were listed and the tipping points where-values of hypothesis test changed at 0.05 significant level were found out, then the ratio of<0.05 was calc…

P-values are often calculated when testing hypotheses in quantitative settings, and low P-values are typically used as evidential measures to support research findings in published medical research. This article reviews old and new arguments questioning the evidential value of P-values. Critiques of the P-value include…

In order to become knowledgeable consumers of nursing research, nursing students must be able to critically read research and determine the study's value for nursing practice. As the number of nursing intervention studies rises and research topics are studied more extensively, the use of meta-analysis in the discipline…

A histopathologic analysis of regional lymph node specimens in 48 patients with previously untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx was performed to determine which parameters, if any, correlated with 3-year patient survival. The presence of sinus histiocytosis in lymph nodes containing metastatic squamous cell…

This study's purpose was to examine the impact of the child's liver transplant on posthospitalization family adaptation. The family adaptation model provided the framework. Social support was the only variable significantly correlated with family adaptation.

This study's goal was to better explain memory and its decline in a natural setting to improve social work practice among the elderly. The effect that bimodal (verbal and visual) presentation of information has on delayed incidental recall was compared with unimodal (verbal only) presentation. A significant increase oc…

This paper is a reply to a critique of Eilers, Gavin, and Wilson (1979) by Aslin and Pisoni (this issue). The reply argues that the critics' contentions are basically unwarranted on both methodological and conceptual grounds. The critique is largely based on misunderstandings of the study's purposes and procedures.

OBJECTIVES: Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a promising tool for modulating neural activity, but tES has poor penetrability and spatiotemporal resolution compared to invasive techniques like deep brain stimulation (DBS). Interferential strategies for alternating-current stimulation (IF-tACS) and pulsed/int…

The concentration of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the peripheral blood of COVID-19 patients is increased. Nevertheless, their potential role in the transmission of infection remains unclear. This study was performed to determine whether EVs produced by the sub-genomic replicon system developed in Baby Hamster Kidney…

The main objective of this research is to examine whether the implementation of new human resource management practices (NHRM) can enhance innovative performance (IP) by fostering innovation capability (NC). Additionally, it examines the moderating influence of an innovative climate (IC) and its associated attributes o…

The aim of this study was to assess the association between NF1 and PTEN gene polymorphisms and the risk of soft tissue sarcomas (STSs). This case-control study collected peripheral blood from 136 patients with STSs and 124 healthy controls. Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the NF1 gene and five SNPs of th…

BACKGROUND: Dating back to the 1970s, thousands of women worldwide have voluntarily been sterilized with transcervical insertion of quinacrine pellets. The safety and efficacy of the technology are still being assessed today; in particular, better estimates on the incidence of human cancers are now feasible. METHODS:…

The association between anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and thrombosis is well recognized, but its role as an independent risk factor for stroke is not. The study's aim was to investigate the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and ischemic vascular events by using both traditional means the estimation of aC…

A preliminary experimental study was conducted among 322 high school students in the Amazon region of Brazil to determine whether locally-trained teachers (high similarity/low expertise) or outside nutrition experts (high expertise/low similarity) would more effectively influence food choice attitudes and behavior. Sub…
