First Brazilian instrument for assessing patient engagement in patient safety: a cross-cultural adaptation and content validation study

Abstract Background Patient safety is highlighted as a global health challenge, requiring changes and the implementation of initiatives to minimize risks, prevent care failures, and avoid harm to patients. Patient engagement has been one of the most recommended strategies for imp...

How Openness and Conscientiousness Shape Project Outcomes in International Remote Projects: The Mediating Role of Cultural Intelligence

This study examines how project managers’ openness to experience and conscientiousness influence team and client outcomes in international remote projects through the mediating role of cultural intelligence (CQ). Drawing on Trait Activation Theory (TAT), we argue that these trait...

Role of aerobic exercise training on myocardial infarction induced-cardiac dysfunction, dysautonomia and oxidative stress in female ob/ob mice.

We investigated the effects of aerobic exercise training (ET) on cardiac function, autonomic modulation, and inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in an experimental model of diabetes and obesity underwent myocardial infarction (MI). Female ob/ob mice were randomized into: sh...

Effects of a Cycling‐Based Aerobic Exercise Program Versus a Resistance and Neuromuscular Exercise Program on Exercise‐Induced Hypoalgesia in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Study Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Exercise therapy is a core treatment for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), but the effects of different exercise modalities on endogenous pain modulation remain unclear. This trial will compare a cycling‐based aerobic exercise program with a resistance an...

Advancing project studies under the design science paradigm

Purpose This paper examines how the design science paradigm has been incorporated and progressively consolidated within Project Studies, and how this trajectory can inform future research. It analyses publication patterns, intellectual configuration, artefact types, problem class...

A framework for transformational projects: empirically testing its concept, mechanisms and essential conditions

Purpose This study aims to develop and empirically evaluate a conceptual framework that investigates the impact of organizational transformation on transformational projects, with mediating effects of transformational approach, focus and barriers. Design/methodology/approach Draw...

Inflammation, Statin Pleiotropy, and Cardiovascular Prevention in Women: Established Evidence, Biological Plausibility, and Knowledge Gaps

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death among women, yet female cardiovascular risk continues to be underrecognized, and women remain underrepresented in many cardiovascular trials. Sex-related differences in hormonal exposure, immune regulation, vascular functi...

Impact of GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists before, during, and after pregnancy: a narrative review

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) receptor agonists (GLP-1RA and GIP-RA) are a class of medications that mimic the endogenous effects of GLP-1 and have gained increasing attention due to their substantial clinical potential. Origin...

Effects of photobiomodulation, alone or combined with dexamethasone, on cellular metabolic activity and inflammatory markers in LPS/IFN-γ-stimulated J774 macrophages

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM), dexamethasone (DEXA), and their combination on cellular metabolic activity and inflammatory cytokines in LPS/IFN-γ-stimulated J774 macrophages.Cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (L...
