Dementia is a neurodegenerative disease that causes a progressive deterioration of thinking, memory, and the ability to perform daily tasks. Other common symptoms include emotional disorders, language disorders, and reduced mobility; however, self-consciousness is unaffected. Dementia is irreversible, and medicine can…

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…

This descriptive qualitative study explored Latinx mothers' acceptance of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine for their adolescent children. Data were collected through individual, semi-structured interviews and analyzed using a hybrid method of thematic analysis that incorporated deductive and inductive approaches.…

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…

Errors in classifying individuals as to whether they have a certain characteristic may adversely affect the power of a statistical test to detect differences in the incidence of that characteristic between groups or to detect changes in the incidence over time. To determine whether the classification method to be used…

OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine how often non-English-speaking (NES) persons are excluded from medical research. DESIGN. Self-administered survey. PARTICIPANTS: A Medline search identified all original investigations on provider-patient relations published in major U.S. journals from 1989 through 1991, whose methodo…

What happens to the land cover within the hinterland's altitudinal belts while Central Andean cities are undergoing globalization and urban restructuring? What conclusions can be drawn about changes in human land use? By incorporating a regional altitudinal zonation model, direct field observations and GIS analyses of…

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 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…

Recent studies show that students' fraction knowledge predicts their later algebra knowledge. This longitudinal study investigated whether this relationship is bidirectional-that is, whether early algebra knowledge predicts later fraction knowledge-and whether early algebra knowledge improves during fraction instructio…

This retrospective cohort study was designed to investigate the relationship of male occupational exposure to elemental mercury and several reproductive outcomes. All subjects worked at least 4 months between 1953 and 1966 at a plant that used elemental mercury; 247 white male employees who had the highest exposures we…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

In malignancies with a low mitotic index such as multiple myeloma (MM), conventional cytogenetic studies may not be informative. This study's purpose was to assess specific numerical chromosomal aberrations in non-dividing MM cells by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of DNA chromosome probes on bone marrow sme…

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…

BACKGROUND: DRD2 TaqIA polymorphism may be associated with an increased risk of developing Parkinson disease (PD). However, the individual study's results are still inconsistent. METHODS: A meta-analysis of 4232 cases and 4774 controls from 14 separate studies were performed to explore the possible relationship betwee…
