The Dutch Clinical Practice Guideline: Pain, analgesia/sedation, delirium, immobility and sleep disturbances; PADIS

Objective: To update the Dutch Pain Sedation and Analgesia (PSA) guideline and to combine this with Delirium, Immobility and Sleep disturbances (DIS) to form the Dutch multidisciplinary PADIS guideline. Methods: A multidisciplinary team of 23 professionals with expertise from dif...

Reach of Palliative Care in Parkinson Disease: Progress and Gaps After a National Team-Based Implementation Project.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The value of palliative care (PC) is increasingly recognized in the care of people with Parkinson disease (PWP) and their carepartners. While clinical trials demonstrate PC improves quality of life for PWP and carepartners, little is known about the imp...

Beauty premia in wage offers: Evidence from Vietnamese online job postings

We analyze a sample of nearly 40,000 gender-targeted online job vacancies in Vietnam from February 2019 to July 2020 to estimate wage offer premia for physical attractiveness and how they vary between genders. Specifically, we compare the monthly wages offered in matched vacancie...

Perinatal loneliness: prevalence, impacts, drivers, interventions, solutions and future directions

Loneliness has been associated with perinatal mental illness, which is shown to negatively affect infant mental health. This review outlines current understandings of prevalence and negative impacts, and summarises what is currently known about contributing factors, highlighting...

Modeling Mean and Variability of Anxiety in Ecological Momentary Assessment Data Using Mixed-Effects Location–Scale Models

Ecological Momentary Assessment is a method of collecting repeated measures of people in real time within natural environments. This results in hierarchical data that has a significant amount of variation at the person level. The traditional linear mixedeffects models assume that...

A Large and Robust Legless Lizard (Squamata, Anguinae) from the Gray Fossil Site of Eastern Tennessee

The early Pliocene Gray Fossil Site in Tennessee preserved an abundance of microfossils, including numerous anguid lizard specimens. This includes the following elements: dentaries, a pterygoid fragment, a jugal, frontals, parietal fragments, dorsal and caudal vertebrae, and many...

Computational Studies of the Spin Trapping Potential of Gallic Acid and its Derivatives in the Reactions with Hydroxyl Free Radicals

Gallic acid (GA) and its derivatives are naturally occurring phenolic antioxidants that have been proposed as spin-trapping agents to study radical reactions in vivo. Despite significant interest, this has not been previously studied using computational chemistry methods. To asse...

Distributed Leadership Applied: The Role of Professional Learning Communities in the Emergence and Development of Teacher Leadership

The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to examine the processes through which teacher leadership is fostered and sustained among elementary and middle school educators who participate regularly in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), with a focus upon scho...

Developing Solvent Tolerant Microbial Membranes: Lipid Extraction and Laurdan Fluorescence Approaches for Biofuel Optimization

The high demand for sustainable energy has increased interest in advanced biofuels, though production is limited by solvent toxicity to microbial hosts. This study investigated the role of lipid composition in modulating membrane fluidity and solvent tolerance using Bacillus subt...

Static ageing vs. dynamic flow in selective soldering:Mechanistic insights on iron-solder intermetallic compound formation

In selective soldering, metal nozzles are used to apply molten solder to specific areas of a printed circuit board to secure leaded components. Typically, standard iron-based nozzles are used but they wear rapidly under dynamic solder flow conditions. Fe-Sn intermetallic compound...

Investigating the Role of CD11b in Recovery from Olfactory Injury: A Glial Perspective

The olfactory system is comprised of multiple cells that allow an organism the sense of smell. Olfactory sensory neurons in the nasal cavity bind to odorants and transmit signals interpreted by the brain as a scent. Throughout life, this population of neurons undergoes regular ce...

What Drives Schoolchildren's Food Choices? Insights from a Gamified Stated-Preference Choice Experiment in Tunisia

This paper models the drivers of schoolchildren's food choices in urban Tunisia using a gamified Stated-Preference Choice Experiment (SPCE), which includes scenario attributes (food placement, preparation, and price) and contextual factors (parental/peer modeling eating behaviors...

Development and validation of a real-time polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Haycocknema perplexum.

dilution (Ct value 39.6) for SSU-PCR, making the latter a more sensitive assay for detecting lower concentrations of organism in the patient biopsy. The sensitivity of fresh frozen samples was superior to FFPE samples. All but one sample was negative following treatment. Feasibil...

Pembrolizumab and Denosumab in Clear-Cell Renal-Cell Carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Anti-PD1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are effective in clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Preliminary data suggest inhibition of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-κB Ligand (RANKL) signaling may potentiate ICI efficacy. We evaluated the activity and saf...
