In the selected articles, there were 14 psychometrically valid tools to be assessed from 151 articles containing the sexual and reproductive health dimensions; among which, seven tools were evaluated with regard to COSMIN. None of the tools also had all the features noted in COSMIN. Moreover, all the concerned scales were not interpretable and…[Read more]

Gut microbiota and the immune system are in constant exchange shaping both host immunity and microbial communities. Here, improper immune regulation can cause inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colitis. Antibody therapies blocking signaling through the CD40-CD40L axis showed promising results as these molecules are deregulated in certain IBD…[Read more]

036) at 24 weeks follow-up. Also, we analyzed the task reaction time between two groups and found that a shorten reaction time at post-intervention (

=0.011) and 24 weeks follow-up (

=3.12,

=0.007) in the CrExp group. However, there was no difference in P300 amplitude in either brain area between the two groups.…[Read more]

Furthermore, neutrophils seemed to not only actively interact with microglial processes but also exhibit reverse transendothelial migration (rTEM) back to the bloodstream. Thus, it may be postulated that, through crosstalk with neutrophils, macrophages are primed to initiate a neuroinflammatory immune response; also, during pathogenic events in…[Read more]

Pragmatics refers to the capacity to understand the speaker’s meaning and thus to appropriately engage in a conversation. This study aims at establishing the role of communicative-pragmatic abilities in functioning, defined as a set of daily activities, in schizophrenia. This would contribute to enrich current models of the neurocognitive…[Read more]

The novel molecularly imprinted microspheres for four phenylarsonic compounds have been firstly prepared with the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization in a suspension system. The resulting polymeric microspheres were characterized by infrared spectrum, scanning electron microscope and differential scanning calorimetry.…[Read more]
