Across-sectional survey was designed to determine health professionals' awareness and usage of online evidence retrieval systems in clinical practice. A questionnaire was used to measure professionals' behavior and utilization of online evidences, as well as, reasons and barriers on information retrieval. 439 nurses an…

OBJECTIVE: This study's overall objective was to identify the supply and distribution of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) services at departmental level and the concentration of CAM service supply in Colombia. METHOD: The information was obtained from the special list of CAM providers published on the Colo…

One of the major barriers to randomized trials in the field of surgery is the presence of strong preferences for one of the treatment options. Patients and surgeons who favor strongly a particular treatment approach are usually reluctant to participate in trials where operative intervention is determined on the basis o…

The two articles discussed are integral ingredients of a greater whole Ken Howard envisioned. The first (Saunders, Howard, & Newman, 1988) refined our understanding of clinical significance, challenging researchers to clearly define the character and range of behaviors identified as normal or nonclinical for a specific…

In this consensus report by a diverse group of academics who conduct and/or are concerned about social and behavioral genomics (SBG) research, the authors recount the often-ugly history of scientific attempts to understand the genetic contributions to human behaviors and social outcomes. They then describe what the cur…

OBJECTIVES: The knowledge about the molecular pathway of traumatic pain relief is less documented. This systematic review study aimed to identify the genes and molecular pathways associated with various traumatic pains. METHODS: The online databases such as EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, International Clin…

Health information technologies (HITs) are widely employed in healthcare and are supposed to improve quality of care and patient safety. However, so far, their implementation has shown mixed results, which might be explainable by understudied psychological factors of human-HIT interaction. Therefore, the present study…

Accelerometer-based systems are often used to quantify human movement. This study's aim was to assess the reliability and validity of the Myotest® accelerometer-based system for measuring running stride kinematics. Twenty habitual runners ran two 60 m trials at 12, 15, 18 and 21 km·h(-1). Contact ti…

BACKGROUND:  Despite government initiatives to ensure the delivery of safe and high-quality care in health establishments, most health establishments in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, South Africa were non-compliant with the National Core Standards. This study explored the experiences of quality as…

The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries are encountering a challenge in adopting new study models for product development. there has been a growing interest in organ-on-a-chip systems, and particularly for generating skin models. While numerous alternatives replicating high-fidelity skin models exist, there is a not…

Treatment teams providing affirmative medical transgender care to young people frequently face moral challenges arising from the care they provide. An adolescent's capacity to consent, for example, could raise several issues and challenges. To deal with these challenges more effectively, several Dutch treatment teams s…

Based on the Supply-Value fit theory (SVF), this study aims to investigate how green human resources management (GHRM) impacts employee well-being and engagement with environmental initiatives in the healthcare sector. The study looked into the aspects of green human resources management in the workplace, focusing on t…

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the model list of essential in vitro diagnostics (EDL) to guide countries to develop and update point-of-care (POC) per their disease priorities. The EDL includes POC diagnostic tests for use in health facilities without laboratories; however, their implementati…

Despite the ubiquity of membrane occupation recognition nexus (MORN) motifs across diverse species in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, these protein domains remain poorly characterized. Their significance is underscored in the context of the Alsin protein, implicated in the debilitating condition known as inf…

Medical staff is vital for helping society through a health crisis, human-made or natural disaster, and pandemic. This study aims to investigate the medical staff's work-related burnout during Covid-19 and their willingness to work when they are most needed. The cross-sectional design was used, and an online survey was…

Talc may lodge in human tissues through various routes, and has been associated with the development of ovarian carcinoma in case control epidemiologic studies. Talc is detected in tissues with scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDS), with expected magnesium (Mg) and silicon (Si) pea…

Schistosomiasis poses a significant global health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions like Sudan. Although numerous epidemiological studies have examined schistosomiasis in Sudan, the genetic diversity of Schistosoma haematobium populations, specifically through analysis of the mtcox1 gene, remains…

In addition to an exact definition, correct measurement of any patient-relevant value is important. Assessing the value of medical interventions is mainly made difficult by the uncertain interpretation of a study's end points, among others caused by the use of invalid surrogate parameters, the clinically unreasonable c…

Accident reduction factors are used to predict the change in accident occurrence which a countermeasure can be expected to cause. Since ethical and legal obstacles preclude the use of randomized experiments when evaluating traffic safety improvements, empirical support for the causal effectiveness of accident counterme…

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…
