Cascading Training Model to Promote Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment Across South Africa: Rollout in an HIV Service Organization

Background In South Africa, rates of HIV and alcohol use are among the highest globally, with a detrimental synergistic relationship. Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based, cost-effective appr...

Assumption-free estimation of heritability from genome-wide identity-by-descent sharing between full siblings.

The study of continuously varying, quantitative traits is important in evolutionary biology, agriculture, and medicine. Variation in such traits is attributable to many, possibly interacting, genes whose expression may be sensitive to the e...

Terpenoids and Related Compounds from Plants of the Family Compositae (Asteraceae)

This review will summarize the authors’ studies on the structures of terpenoids and related compounds from plants of the family Compositae (Asteraceae). Eighty three new compounds have been obtained and characterized from seven species of t...

AWARENESS OF STUDENTS OF THE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY ABOUT THE PRE-GRAVIDAR PREPARATION

Pregravidar preparation includes a complex of studies carried out without fail during pregnancy planning. According to the WHO bulletin «Policy of pre-conception training», pre-pregnancy counseling should be carried out for all women of rep...

Meticulous parade on naringin respecting its pharmacological activities and novel formulations

Objective: Medicinal plants having antioxidant potential possess numerous constituents which are responsible for different beneficial effects and are used as an alternative resource of medicine to lessen diseases linked with oxidative stres...

The association between adolescent mental health and oral health behavior: The Luxembourg Health Behavior in School-Aged Children study

Oral health remains a global health problem. Mental health has been linked to oral health behavior. However, studies among adolescents in high-income countries are limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between adolescent ...

Clinicopathological features of rare bleeding disorders in high consanguinity population; A retrospective analysis from two tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia

BACKGROUND: Rare bleeding disorder (RBDs) encompasses a deficiency of one or more of FXIII, FXI, FX, FVII, FV, FII, and FI clotting factors, leading to bleeding disorders with variable presentations and outcomes ranging from none or minimal...

A [4Fe-4S] cluster resides at the active center of phosphomevalonate dehydratase, a key enzyme in the archaeal modified mevalonate pathway

The recent discovery of the archaeal modified mevalonate pathway revealed that the fundamental units for isoprenoid biosynthesis (isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate) are biosynthesized via a specific intermediate, trans-a...

How Does Parental Early Maladaptive Schema Affect Adolescents’ Social Adaptation? Based on the Perspective of Intergenerational Transmission

An individual’s social adaptation is affected by their early maladaptive schemas. Previous studies have shown that early maladaptive schemas may be intergenerationally transmitted in families. It is important to explore the intergenerationa...

Women’s perception about the discovery of breast cancer amid the covid-19 pandemic

Background Breast cancer is considered a health problem at a worldwide level. In Brazil, the South and Southeast regions have the highest mortality rates. Understanding how they dealt with the diagnostic of a stigmatized disease amid the CO...

Chemosensory-Related Genes in Marine Copepods

Living organisms deeply rely on the acquisition of chemical signals in any aspect of their life, from searching for food, mating and defending themselves from stressors. Copepods, the most abundant and ubiquitous metazoans on Earth, possess...

Calmodulin-binding transcription activator (CAMTA) genes family: Genome-wide survey and phylogenetic analysis in flax (Linum usitatissimum).

Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is a member of family linaceae with annual growth habit. It is included among those crops which were domesticated very early and has been used in development related studies as a model plant. In plants, Calmodulin...

The Role of Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinases in Plant Homeostasis

The p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K) family is a group of highly conserved kinases in eukaryotes that regulates cell growth, cell proliferation, and stress response via modulating protein synthesis and ribosomal biogenesis. S6Ks are downstream...

Patterns of compliance with COVID-19 preventive measures in Armenia: results from a cross-sectional survey

Abstract While numerous studies have explored adherence to individual COVID-19 preventive behaviors and their predictors, their combinations and clustering have been less frequently investigated. We explored the patterns and socio-demograph...

The SKP1-like gene family of Arabidopsis exhibits a high degree of differential gene expression and gene product interaction during development.

The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes several families of polypeptides that are known or predicted to participate in the formation of the SCF-class of E3-ubiquitin ligase complexes. One such gene family encodes the Skp1-like class of poly...
