The transverse incision with longitudinal ligation (TILL) procedure is a new method for treating circumferential prolapsed hemorrhoids. A study by Songfound TILL to be better than the traditional Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy for short-term results, showing less pain, quicker healing, and lower risk of anal stenosis…

A pressing question resulting from global warming is how climate change will affect infectious diseases. Answering this question requires research into the effects of weather on the population dynamics of transmission and infection; elucidating these effects, however, has proved difficult due to the challenges of asses…

Perfectionism has been proposed as a transdiagnostic risk factor linked to eating disorders and anxiety. In the current study, we examine domains of contingent self-worth as potential moderators of the relationships between maladaptive perfectionism and disordered eating and anxiety using two waves of data collection.…
