OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the role of cancer stem cell biomarkers in diagnosis and prognosis of OSCC patients. METHODS: The search strategy was entered into PubMed NLM, EBSCO CINAHL, EBSCO Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source, Wiley Cochrane Library, and Scopus. The full text eligible studies (n=7) were assessed for their q…

OBJECTIVES: This review examined how to best communicate and disseminate evidence, including uncertain evidence, to inform health care decisions. The review focused on three primary objectives--comparing the effectiveness of: (1) communicating evidence in various contents and formats that increase the likelihood that t…

TITLE: Women experiencing the second stage of labour for the first time: a qualitative free-text analysis within the Oneplus trial. BACKGROUND: The second stage of labour is the time from full cervical dilation to the birth of the baby. The risks to the woman and the baby are increased during this stage, leading to in…

Mitochondria play an essential role in bioenergetics and cellular Ca[Formula: see text] handling. The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is a non-specific channel located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Long-lasting openings of the pore allow the rapid passage of ions and large molecules, which can…

BACKGROUND: The New Public Management movement strove for transparency so that policy makers and citizens could gain insight into the work and performance of health care. As the use of the electronic health record (EHR) started to diffuse, a foundation was laid for enhanced transparency within and between health care o…

Accurately predicting free energy differences is essential in realizing the full potential of rational drug design. Unfortunately, high levels of accuracy often require computationally expensive QM/MM Hamiltonians. Fortuitously, the cost of employing QM/MM approaches in rigorous free energy simulation can be reduced th…

Case finding for epidemiologic registries still relies mainly on a manual process. In this paper, we show that retrieval information tools could be a complementary way to identify cases for a pediatric malformation registry. We developed a full-text and metadata search engine plugged to a clinical documents repository…

Model-free phasor image analysis, well established in fluorescence lifetime imaging and only recently applied to qMRI [Formula: see text] data processing, is here adapted and validated for myocardial qMRI [Formula: see text] mapping. Contrarily to routine mono-exponential fitting procedures, phasor enables mapping the…

INTRODUCTION: The increasing popularity of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has led to the emergence of public health concerns, particularly among the youth. As a major producer and exporter of e-cigarettes, China has faced public health challenges in regulating the unregulated e-cigarette industry. AIMS AND METHO…

Males are also afraid of hurting a female and females are afraid of insufficient satisfaction of a male partner. Just 12-14% of couples deny sexual problems after the childbirth. The main postpartum risk factor for dysp…

BACKGROUND: BERT models have seen widespread use on unstructured text within the clinical domain. However, little to no research has been conducted into classifying unstructured clinical notes on the basis of patient lifestyle indicators, especially in Dutch. This article aims to test the feasibility of deep BERT model…

Identifying which patients are at higher risks of dying or being re-admitted often happens to be resource- and life- saving, thus is a very important and challenging task for healthcare text analytics. While many successful approaches exist to predict such clinical events based on categorical and numerical variables, a…

Sexual violence against children and adolescents is considered a public health problem of worldwide scope. The objective is to analyze the findings in the literature that address the phenomenon of sexual violence against children and adolescents in the school environment; is an integrative literature review that has as…

OBJECTIVE: To describe and organize the current information available on  binary, ternary and/or quaternary mixtures used in opioid-free anesthesia (OFA), as well as their physicochemical stability, in order to  facilitate its correct administration, optimize its use, and prevent potential&#xa0…

BACKGROUND: In a number of diseases, certain genes are reported to be strongly methylated and thus can serve as diagnostic markers in many cases. Scientific literature in digital form is an important source of information about methylated genes implicated in particular diseases. The large volume of the electronic text…

PURPOSE: To assess British doctors' work-life balance, home-life satisfaction and associated barriers. STUDY DESIGN: We designed an online survey using Google Forms and distributed this via a closed social media group with 7031 members, exclusively run for British doctors. No identifiable data were collected and all r…

Aseptic technique forms a component of standard precautions and is a foundational concept in nursing practice. The application of that standard appears to vary between context and nurse. The variation of principles and application between facilities and individuals may reflect the current disparity in evidence-based li…

Pregnancy complicated with leukemia is rare. Validated data, out of which conclusions may be drawn regarding the management of pregnancy with leukemia are sparse. We report 5 cases of leukemia diagnosed during pregnancy with an overview of published literature (Ref. 19). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.

BACKGROUND: Obesity and periodontitis are two commonly occurring disorders that affect a considerable amount of the world's population. Several studies have mentioned that there may be a link between the two. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine whether there was a difference in response to nonsurgica…

Authors analyse 11 cases of perinatal traumatism in a group of 110 patients with gastroschisis during a period of 25 years. They point out its causes and consequences. To minimize perinatal traumatism, it is necessary to conduct suitable prenatal and perinatal management. In spite of preferring Caesarean section there…
