A traffic noise system involves several subsystems like road traffic subsystem, human subsystem, environment subsystem, traffic network subsystem, and urban prosperity subsystem. The study's main aim was to develop road traffic noise models using a graph theory approach involving the parameters related to road traffic…

BACKGROUND: Sentinel surveillance for severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) in Egypt began in 2006 and occurs at eight sites. Avian influenza is endemic, and human cases of influenza A (H5N1) have been reported annually since 2006. This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of SARI at a major sentinel site in th…

This commentary examines the recent findings by Wang et al. (2025) on the association between the uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) and depression in a U.S. population. While the study demonstrates a significant correlation using cross-sectional data and advanced statistical methods, several…

Adult-onset atopic dermatitis (AD) is a recently introduced subgroup of AD. Apart from the most typical flexural lichenified/exudative pattern in adults, patients may also have nontypical morphology and localization. The aim of this retrospective study was to find the frequency of nontypical morphology and localization…

This study's objective tested the utility of two quality of life (QOL) forms in a hospice setting. The compared forms were the McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL) and the Hospice Quality of Life Index-Revised (HQLI). Using a crossover design, hospice nurses first administered one survey to eligible patients and…

BackgroundIn 2017, a food-borneAgona outbreak caused by infant milk products from a French supplier occurred in Europe. Simultaneously,Agona was detected in animal feed samples in Bavaria.AimUsing next generation sequencing (NGS) and three data analysis methods, this study's objectives were to verify clonality of the B…

Influenza vaccination is the most effective method in preventing influenza and its complications. This study's objectives were to investigate the vaccination coverage and frequency and to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward influenza vaccination in Jordan during the year 2012 and the 5 years preceding it.…

CONTEXT: Sport-specific adaptations in shoulder rotation range of motion (ROM) and the relationship with humeral torsion have been described in overhead-throwing sports. However, information is lacking for other shoulder-loading sports such as field hockey. Therefore, this study's purpose was to evaluate humeral torsio…

BACKGROUND: Resilience, referring to the inherent ability to naturally recover in the face of adverse conditions, is an essential concept in discussions of substance use disorder (SUD) recovery. This study's objective was to shed light on resilience and related factors that affect relapse risk in patients with SUDs. M…

Intersectionality theory has been used primarily in legal research to provide a framework for understanding the experiences of populations situated within multiple systems of oppression, particularly in relation to anti-discrimination law and gender-based violence. Gender transformative approaches to health seek to mov…

Biodegradable iron-based alloys are potential candidates for application as temporary implant material. This study summarizes the design strategy applied in the development of biodegradable Fe-Mn-C-Pd alloys and describes the key factors which make them suitable for medical applications. The study's in vitro cytotoxici…

As the climate crisis deepens, its adverse effects on human health are becoming evident, including impacts on cancer pathogenesis and treatment. This study explored the link between individuals' awareness of the health impacts of climate change and interest in cancer screening. Using the 2021 Health Information Nationa…

BACKGROUND: Infection with group B Streptococcus (GBS) is still a neonatal life-threatening illness, especially in developing countries such as Yemen. OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed at determining the vaginal colonization rate and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of GBS among Yemeni pregnant women. METHODS: We cond…

The evaluation of strain induced in a blood vessel owing to contact with a medical device is of significance to examine the causes leading to vascular injury and rupture. The development of a method to assess strain in largely deformed elastic materials is expected. This study's scope was to measure strain in deformed…

Attention bias to emotion has been studied as a risk factor associated with depression. No study has examined whether attention bias within the context of measured genetic risk leads to increased risk for clinical depressive episodes over time. The current study investigated whether genetic risk, as indexed by the sero…

Previous animal and human studies have suggested that total plasma sulfide plays a role in the pathophysiology of shock. This study's aim was to determine the value of total plasma sulfide as a marker of shock severity in nonsurgical adult patients admitted to the ICU. Forty-one patients, with various types of shock (s…

Firearm violence remains an important problem, and a large body of evidence shows that guns used in crime follow generally predictable paths from manufacturer to criminal end user. Policy initiatives based on that evidence have been shown to be effective. A recently published study conducted by a leading policy organiz…

The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore utilization behavior of clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) relative to research-based information as distinguished from nonresearch-based information. A nontraditional conceptualization of knowledge utilization as encompassing both cognitive and instrumental applicati…

Nowadays opinions on the complexity of the central vestibular compensation mechanisms are still divergent, but it is correct to believe that biochemical and morphological changes appearing in various sites of the central nervous system during aging have a negative reflection on the integrity of such a process. The pres…

To combat ageism, the National Resource Center on Nutrition and Aging (NRCNA) launched two Ageism Webinars (AWs). The study's aims were to 1) assess the effectiveness of the AWs for increasing participants' perceived familiarity (FAM) and knowledge (KNOW) and producing high behavioral intent to implement recommended ac…
