Characterisation of COVID-19 deaths by vaccination types and status in Malaysia between February and September 2021

Bone turnover markers and parameters of functional and structural state in patients with chronic spinal cord injuries in 5 years and later after the trauma

Актуальность. Увеличение продолжительности жизни пациентов с травмой позвоночника и спинного мозга (ТПСМ) привлекло внимание к поздним осложнениям ТПСМ, в частности к остеопорозу. Цель исследования — оценить структурно-функциональное состоя...

Multimodel GCM-RCM Ensemble-Based Projections of Temperature and Precipitation over West Africa for the Early 21st Century

Reliable climate change scenarios are critical for West Africa, whose economy relies mostly on agriculture and, in this regard, multimodel ensembles are believed to provide the most robust climate change information. Toward this end, we ana...

Magnetic Field Dipolarization and Its Associated Ion Flux Variations in the Dawnside Deep Inner Magnetosphere: Arase Observations

Abstract The Arase satellite observed clear dipolarization signatures at r~4.3–4.6 RE, GMLAT~16°–18°, and MLT~5.5–5.7 hr around 15:00 UT on 27 March 2017 when Dst~−70 nT. Strong magnetic field fluctuations were embedded and their characteri...

Toxicity of Parasporin-4 and Health Effects of Pro-parasporin-4 Diet in Mice

Parasporin-4 (PS4) is an aerolysin-type β-pore-forming toxin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis strain A1470. It exhibits specific cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines; therefore, it is expected to be useful for the diagnosis and tr...

Comparative study of strongly and weakly coupled data assimilation with a global land–atmosphere coupled model

This study explores coupled land–atmosphere data assimilation (DA) for improving weather and hydrological forecasts by assimilating soil moisture (SM) data. This study integrates a land DA component into a global atmospheric DA system of th...

On mathematical modeling of fractional-order stochastic for tuberculosis transmission dynamics

Tuberculosis remains one of the most dangerous diseases globally and has affected many people in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, a fractional stochastic model of tuberculosis disease was formulated and analyzed. The existence and uniquen...

Relationship between Mathematical Thinking, Mathematics Anxiety and Mathematics Attitudes among University Students

This study investigates the relationships between mathematics anxiety, attitudes toward mathematics and mathematical thinking among university students. A 60-item questionnaire included mathematical thinking rating scale, mathematics anxiet...

Generic Riemannian Maps from Nearly Kaehler Manifolds

In order to generalise semi-invariant Riemannian maps, Sahin first introduced the idea of “Generic Riemannian maps”. We extend the idea of generic Riemannian maps to the case in which the total manifold is a nearly Kaehler manifold. We stud...

Effectiveness of a tele-rehabilitation intervention to improve performance and reduce morbidity for people post hip fracture - study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Most surviving hip-fracture patients experience reduced mobility and lose some of their functional ability, which increases the risk of complications and rehospitalization. Post-discharge transitional programs to reduce ...

Skilled antenatal care services utilisation in sub-Saharan Africa: a pooled analysis of demographic and health surveys from 32 countries

Abstract Background Each day, an estimated 800 women die from preventable pregnancy and childbirth related complications, where 99% of these avoidable deaths happen in low-and middle-income countries. Skilled attendance during antenatal car...

THE EFFECT OF PREMARITAL SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION ON ADOLESCENTS' KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES AT MADRASAH ALIYAH PUTRI AL-KHOIROT MALANG

Background: Adolescents are a vulnerable group to sexual problems, which can lead to an increase in unwanted pregnancies and early marriages due to a lack of knowledge and appropriate attitudes. Premarital sexual health education serves as ...

Digital health technology and diabetes management

Diabetes care is largely dependent on patient self-management and empowerment, given that patients with diabetes must make numerous daily decisions as to what to eat, when to exercise, and determine their insulin dose and timing if required...

Digital biomarkers: Convergence of digital health technologies and biomarkers

Over the last decade, increasing digitization across the healthcare continuum has revolutionized medical research, diagnostics, and therapeutics. This digitization has led to rapid advancements in the development and adoption of digital hea...

The Protective Effect of Sulforaphane against Oxidative Stress through Activation of NRF2/ARE Pathway in Human Granulosa Cells

Objective: Sulforaphane (SFN) is a natural free radical scavenger that can reduce oxidative stress (OS) through mediating nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NF-E2-related factor 2 or NRF2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) signal...

Altered Red Blood Cell Fatty Acid and Serum Adipokine Profiles in Subjects with Obesity

Background: Adipokines, as well as the fatty acid profile of red blood cell (RBC) membranes, are known to play important roles in the development and progression of metabolic complications induced by obesity. Thus, the objective of this stu...

Understanding rice preferences and awareness of brown rice among persons with diabetes: A mixed methods study from South India

Polished white rice (WR), high in refined carbohydrates, the main staple in South India is associated with enhanced risk of diabetes. Brown Rice (BR), with lower glycemic load, high fibre content and micronutrients, is a healthier choice. T...
