BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Lower limbs biomechanics during unilateral jump landing, a common sports maneuver, is widely studied in research. Most studies used an even surface which may not be ecologically valid in sports contexts. There is a need to explore the lower limbs biomechanics during landing on other, more challengin…

For various clinical/surgical procedures, it is important to accurately understand the location of the sinuatrial node (SAN). Therefore, this study's goal was to develop a new and simple method to visualize the SAN in human hearts. A total of 16 formalin-fixed human hearts were used in the study. After the epicardium w…

This descriptive qualitative study explored Latinx fathers' awareness, knowledge, and acceptability of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine for their adolescent children. Data were collected through individual, semi-structured interviews and analysed using a hybrid method of thematic analysis that incorporated deduct…

This paper reports on the qualitative phase of a mixed methods study of occupational therapy in an equine environment for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study's quantitative phase found that this intervention improved the occupational performance, social motivation, social communication, and self-reg…

OBJECTIVE: Although previous research has established bidirectional links between many eating disorder (ED) symptoms and suicidal ideation (SI), no research has examined how symptoms of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) longitudinally relate to SI, which is the current study's aim. METHODS: Iranian ado…

OBJECTIVE: the study's objective was the clinical validation of the nursing diagnosis Risk for Aspiration among patients who experienced cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). METHOD: a prospective cohort study was conducted with 24 patients hospitalized due to a CVA. The instrument used to collect the data addressed the ri…

With the world's population aging, there is an increase in the number of demented elderly. It is vital to study this phenomenon in epidemiological and clinical studies, particularly the effects on the increasing numbers of demented elderly. Researchers need to understand the factors predicting the general decline in th…

Gaze sensitivity allows us to interpret the visual perspective of others, inferring their intentions and attentional states. In order to clarify the evolutionary history of this ability, we assessed the response of free-ranging Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) to human gaze in three contexts: threat (Experiment 1), c…

The effects of interferon-beta (IFN-β), one of the key immunotherapies used in multiple sclerosis (MS), on peripheral blood leukocytes and T cells have been extensively studied. B cells are a less abundant leukocyte type, and accordingly less is known about the B cell-specific response to IFN-β. To identify…

Natural gene flow often delivers alleles from cultivated species into unmanaged populations of weedy or wild relatives. Unmanaged populations with introgressed crop alleles may become the unintended repositories of crop alleles that are no longer available to breeders. Descriptive studies have confirmed the introgressi…

Human S-adenosyl-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH, E.C.3.3.1.1) has been considered to be an attractive target for the design of medicines to treat human disease, because of its important role in regulating biological methylation reactions to catalyse the reversible hydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) to adenosine (…

Although it is not mandatory for systematic review and meta-analysis studies, protocol registration is essential in the prevention of biases. This study aims to investigate the protocol registration status and reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in psychiatric nursing journals. This descriptive…

Men treated for alcohol addiction who relapsed after residential treatment were surveyed to identify high-risk events, which had functioned as relapse determinants. The investigation was guided by G. Alan Marlatt's relapse prevention model. Participants endorsed one of nine relapse determinants listed on the study's re…

This qualitative study of theoretical frameworks was conducted to explain criminal offending and attitudes towards desistance from crime for a sample of 26 women reintegrating back into society after incarceration. Theoretical pathways and desistance theories were used to provide themes for analyzing in depth interview…

Why waste time in the diagnosis of chest pain? A diagnostic strategy of SPECT imaging and exercise tolerance testing halves the medical resources required to rule out heart attacks, a small-scale study shows. A key to success is having a clear-cut system for identifying lower-risk patients, the study's lead author says…

This study evaluates the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) tools (ChatGPT-4, Claude, and Gemini) in forensic image analysis of crime scenes, marking a significant step toward developing bespoke AI models for forensic applications. The research involved independent analysis of 30 crime scene images by the AI…

This study explored the local food environment of Hong Kong and Singapore using a qualitative case study approach to inform future upstream public health nutrition policies. Food outlets that provide food to be eaten in the home were mapped in selected areas of high and low socioeconomic status (SES) of Hong Kong and S…

The present study examines variation in the effect of birth weight on children's early cognitive and socioemotional outcomes by family socioeconomic status (SES). It is hypothesized that not only will lower birth weight children display worse cognitive and socioemotional outcomes prior to school entry, as prior researc…

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to investigate how obesity and glycemic state affect mitochondrial respiration and ATP-generating pathways in mature human adipocytes. METHODS: Subcutaneous (sc) and visceral (vc) adipocytes were isolated from patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Respiratory chain function was analyzed by…

BACKGROUND: Despite Thailand's commitment to treating people who use drugs as "patients" not "criminals," Thai authorities continue to emphasize criminal law enforcement for drug control. In 2003, Thailand's drug war received international criticism due to extensive human rights violations. However, few studies have si…
