OBJECTIVE: The annual incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) cervicofacial lymphadenitis in otherwise healthy children is unexpectedly high (8 per million). It mostly arises as localized cervicofacial lymphadenitis. Previous research has suggested environmental risk factors for oral exposure to NTM and a tempo…

SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease that causes muscle atrophy and weakness. SMA is diagnosed by a homozygous deletion in exon 7 of thegene. However, mutations in genes located in the SMA region, such as,andmay also contribute to the severity of the disease. Within our study's…

The purpose of our study was to reanalyze the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ; Blatt, D'Afflitti, & Quinlan, 1976, 1979) and to evaluate relationships between the questionnaire's factors and other construct-related measures, the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, & Erbaugh, 1961) and the…

BACKGROUND: Marshall syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia. It associates a particular facial dysmorphism with midface hypoplasia, ocular abnormalities and sensorineural hearing loss. It is caused by heterozygous mutations in COL11A1 gene coding the 1 chain of collagen XI. Stickler syndrome is the pr…

Evaluate the educational needs of adults over 65 years or more with regards to the vaccine, vaccination and immunization against the influenza, design strategies to assist the educational needs and implant and evaluate an immunization program at an independent community pharmacy. A study divided into three phases: Phas…

The goal of good palliative care is to relieve suffering and to improve quality of life. However, it is clear that access to palliative care is inconsistent. At least in part, these deficiencies exist because of a lack of solid evidence on which to base clinical decisions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for researc…

There is a lack of guidance in the existing literature on the link between spirituality and psychology in the workplace. The present study seeks to emphasize the theoretical importance that workplace spirituality may contribute to the psychology literature. Specifically, the study aims to examine how Person-Organizatio…

In this month's issue, Hollman, Wolterbeek, Zijl, van Egeraat, and Wessel from Nieuwegein, The Netherlands, investigate an essential and most basic concern: how does an abduction brace compare to a simple sling after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair? A criticism of the study, well noted in Editorial Commentary by Kevin…

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) represents one of the most frequent vascular disorders of the posterior pole. RVO treatment is disappointing because a great number of patients remains with a reduced visual acuity; the visual acuity is the functional test which shows the treatment efficacity. The study group of patients wa…

We quantify how the per round client participation rate k affects performance and runtime in a federated learning study predicting two year confirmed disability progression in multiple sclerosis using routine clinical data. Using the original study's data, preprocessing, model, and evaluation protocol, we vary k at 1.0…

Academic social bullying in nursing and health professions schools is an understudied area yet emerging research shows it is prevalent.This qualitative study derived from two larger quantitative studies targeting the development and validation of an instrument measuring academic social bullying and whose purpose was to…

The observational study by Szummer et al. shows that patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) are treated less with statins after myocardial infarction, even though statins benefit survival in CKD classes 1-4. The study's limitations are obvious, but such a population may be more representative. The results…

A descriptive study was conducted to examine perioperative nurses' perceptions of barriers and facilitators to the use of research findings in nursing practice. The study's findings indicate that the most important barriers are research literature not being compiled in one place, lack of time to read research articles…

Captopril renography is an excellent technique for investigating renovascular hypertension and other renal disturbances. However, many variables affect the usefulness of renographic data. The choices of radiopharmaceutical, converting enzyme inhibitor, and the type of imaging done must be made with care. Additionally,…

Summer camps for juveniles with rheumatic disease are being offered increasingly as components of comprehensive treatment approaches, but the therapeutic value of these sessions is largely undetermined.

Microphysiological systems (MPS) provide relevant physiological environments in vitro for studies of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and biological mechanisms for translational research. Designing multi-MPS platforms is essential to study multi-organ systems. Typical design approaches, including direct and allometri…
