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…

In our study, the 101 most cited publications in the field of "Immunology" in the Web of Science (WoS) database were evaluated bibliometrically. The "WoS" database "advanced mode" was used in this study. A search was conducted in the field of "Immunology." The top 101 most-cited publications were then identified. The t…

BACKGROUND: End-of-life care has become a priority in medical education internationally. A previous study of hospice patients and staff regarding medical students teaching in a hospice showed positive responses from patients and hospice staff. However concern was expressed by some staff regarding medical students' welf…

PURPOSE: This study's aims were to evaluate patient knowledge of safe warfarin practices early in treatment, and to pilot a nursing telephone follow-up enhancement to a pharmacy-facilitated discharge. METHOD: Forty-two randomized patients in either "enhanced follow-up" or "treatment as usual" groups completed the stud…

The purpose of this paper is to present the content of office family practice problems seen over a 2 1/2-year residency period and to afford comparison with the well-known Virginia Study. It illustrates the usefulness of the diagnostic E-Book, with which all the data were collected and preserved. Over a 2 1/2-year peri…

INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Self-assessment examinations (SAEs) help trainees assess their progress in education. SAEs also provide feedback to training programs as to how factors in training influence examination performance. This study's goal was to examine the relationship between the number of months of training in electrod…

BACKGROUND: Effective participant recruitment strategies are crucial to the success of research studies. A targeted, well-designed recruitment plan provides researchers with a rich bed of information to fully explore research questions and achieve statistically significant responses. AIM: To discuss the importance and…

The most recent review of the workplace prevention literature was published two decades ago. Since then, interest has been growing in the business and research communities in preventive workplace interventions. At the same time, there has been an increasing recognition of the complexity of developing workplace interven…

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…

Infants' looking behaviors are often used for measuring attention, real-time processing, and learning-often using low-resolution videos. Despite the ubiquity of gaze-related methods in developmental science, current analysis techniques usually involve laborious post hoc coding, imprecise real-time coding, or expensive…

INTRODUCTION: Acupuncture is a complex holistic intervention in which patient-practitioner relationships and healing changes occur in interactive, iterative ways. Qualitative research is one way to capture such complexity. This study sought to understand better the experiences of adolescents involved in acupuncture tre…

BACKGROUND: Patients may seek health care services from various providers during treatment. These providers could serve in a network (affiliated) or practice separately (unaffiliated).
