OBJECTIVE: To explore experiences from a process of change for women with chronic pain. DESIGN, SETTING, AND SUBJECTS: A group-based treatment programme was intended to increase the awareness of how attitudes, habits and bodily practices are established, developed, and can be transformed, and thereby probably reduce p…

The gut microbiome serves an important role in the human body. Reportedly, one of the benefits of these microflora is on mental health. Once established, food and other dietary sources that enhance quality microbiome content in our gastrointestinal system will be a significant consideration in individuals' day to…

The current authors respect Boffa and Houtsma's (see record 2027-56797-001) interest in their article (see record 2024-23207-001) and Boffa and Houtsma's passion for the topic of patient high-risk flags for suicide. They appreciate the opportunity to clarify their study's aims and conclusions, which appear to have been…

The association of political attitudes of conservatives and reports of their having had a dream was investigated. 48 female graduate students in counseling psychology were given the KJP Dream Inventory and the Kerlinger Social Attitude Scale II. Scores on conservative political attitudes were positively correlated with…

The effect of brain damage on body temperature rhythm was investigated by spectral analysis using the maximum entropy method. The rectal temperatures of 56 patients with acute stroke were recorded for 1-3 days by actigraphy. Many patients with disturbance of consciousness showed infradian rhythm. Ambulatory patients te…

The study's purpose was to estimate the potential economic benefit of the optimization of postanesthesia care units (PACUs). A simulation model was designed and used to test the economic impact of a reduction of length of stay. For the studied PACU, a reduction of 25% of length of stay is required to yield significant…

The application of visual art and other extracurricular activities to children's sustainable development is predominantly discussed in Western countries. Consequently, non-Western society could not cherish the benefit of visual art on their children's cognitive and non-cognitive skill development due to a lack of evide…

BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation after severe stroke is often limited because of impairments in sensorimotor function. Functional and physiological recovery after severe stroke is poorly understood and has not been studied extensively. OBJECTIVE: This study's purpose was to examine functional and physiological recovery of s…

Children's inflammation may be an important link between parenting behaviors and health outcomes. The aims of this systematic review were to: (1) describe associations between parenting behaviors and child inflammatory markers, and (2) evaluate the relevance of existing literature to the review question.

To better understand what is known about the association between childhood asthma, school attendance, and academic outcomes, the authors reviewed published studies investigating this topic. Tables with brief descriptions of each study's research methodology and outcomes are included. Research reveals evidence that rate…

Previous studies on hypothyroid subjects have indicated serious psychiatric symptoms affecting the patients' quality of life. The present prospective cross-sectional study's aim was to examine these symptoms in thyroid patients with different functional states. A total of 254 patients (age: 56 +/- 14 years [mean +/- st…

Thousands of scientists strive to identify cellular mechanisms that could lead to breakthroughs in developing ameliorative treatments for debilitating neural and muscular conditions such as spinal cord injury (SCI). Most studies use rodent models to test hypotheses, and these are all limited by the methods available to…

Research into the biological processes that increase susceptibility to methamphetamine dependence has been conducted primarily in Asian populations. Using a case-control design this study's purpose was to explore, among a population of methamphetamine-dependent Caucasians, six putative single nucleotide polymorphisms p…

OBJECTIVES: Currently, there is no reliable automated measurement method to study the changes in the condylar process after orthognathic surgery. Therefore, this study proposes an automated method to measure condylar changes in patients with skeletal class II malocclusion following surgical-orthodontic treatment. METH…

BACKGROUND: A family based association study in a British sample found the NOTCH4 gene to be associated with schizophrenia; however, all six replication studies failed to confirm the finding. METHODS: We performed a family based association study of NOTCH4 and schizophrenia in 123 trios (16 Japanese and 107 Chinese).…

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…

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To determine whether the pig could be used as biomodel for study and reconstruction of rectal pathology for development the new approaches for prevention and treatment of rectal diseases. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: For the research the rectum of 8 vietnamese pot-bellied pigs were…

A recent publication in BMC Infectious Diseases concerning the use of convalescent plasma for the treatment of COVID-19 had a number of major issues. This correspondence details specific instances of unclear reporting as well as major omissions when discussing the context of the trial. These render the study's findings…

This study's aim was to apply a Contextual theory lens on exploring whether knowledge of parental infidelity affects the Relational Ethics (RE) of adult children. The Relational Ethics Scale (RES) was used to capture horizontal (partner) and vertical (family of origin) relational ethics in a clinical sample of 195 part…

As others have pointed out a variety of complicating factors with the PACE trial (e.g. changing outcome criteria), I will limit my remarks to issues that involve the composition of adaptive pacing therapy and issues involving patient selection. My key points are that the PACE trial investigators were not successful in…
