BACKGROUND: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a transdiagnostic evidence-based treatment, adapted for use with youth with suicidality and emotion dysregulation. There is increasing evidence of using DBT on psychiatric inpatient units for youth; however, there is little research on how to best incorporate families i…

PURPOSE: This study's objective was to investigate barometric pressure changes that are most strongly associated with symptom exacerbations in shunted hydrocephalus patients. To achieve this, we conducted in-depth analysis of hospital encounter data and examined their correlation with variations in sea level pressure (…

BACKGROUND: Concern about falling (CaF) can emerge after experiencing a fall or recognizing personal fall risk. High CaF may lead to activity curtailment, greater fall risk, and reduced quality of life and participation in full-time wheelchair/scooter (WC/S) users. Identifying predictors of CaF can help clinicians addr…

This research aims to investigate healthcare professionals' (HCPs) attitudes towards patient safety and to explore the role of various work-related factors that could be the barriers to safety-events reporting to modify these attitudes. A cross-sectional survey was conducted, involving 629 HCPs who are working across h…

BACKGROUND: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key component naturally present in the skin and is commonly used in skincare formulations and dermal fillers.
