Intermediate care describes services, including transitional care, that support the needs of middle-aged and older adults during care transitions and between different settings. This scoping review aimed to examine the effectiveness of intermediate care including transitional care interventions for middle-aged and older adults on function,…[Read more]

6 and ≤24.9 %, respectively, which are below the species demarcation thresholds. Based on the results of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic analyses, strain G-4-1-14T represents a novel species in the genus Zoogloea, for which the name Zoogloea dura sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is G-4-1-14T (=KACC 21618T=NBRC 114358T). In addit…[Read more]

Among the morphea patients, those with sleeping problems during COVID-19 had a significantly higher mean HADS-D score (

=.048). Notably, 21.43% of patients discontinued their treatment due to fear of COVID-19 and experienced disease recurrence. Adherence to health protocols was higher in patients compared with controls. The rate of COVID-19…[Read more]

001), an FM system (OR 3.84 vs. BIBR1532 No-TT, p  less then  0.001; OR 15.13 vs. Control, p  less then  0.001), and an implanted bone conduction device (OR 5.08 vs. No-TT, p  less then  0.001; OR 15.67 vs. Control, p  less then  0.001). CONCLUSIONS An association between ear tube placement and long-term need for a rehabilitative hearing device…[Read more]

Wantai SARS-COV-2 Ab ELISA, Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 assay, and Innovita 2019-nCoV Ab rapid test showed least cross-reactivity, resulting in an optimal analytical specificity greater than 98%.

Wantai SARS-COV-2 Ab ELISA and Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 assays are suitable for sensitive and specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies from 10 days…[Read more]

The women reported consuming an average of 53% of their total food from what they cultivated or raised. Women with higher DD [MMD-W score ≥ 5 food groups (79% of total sample)] were on farms that cultivated a greater variety of crops (x = 8.7 vs. 6.7), raised more animals (x = 17.9 vs. 12.7, p less then 0.05), and reported lower HFI and s…[Read more]

Each section for knowledge, attitude, and practice were categorized as poor (≤39.0%), fair (40.0-69.0%), and good (≥70.0%). The level of knowledge of OAC therapy for patients with NVAF among PCPs was insufficient in over half (75.8%) of the participants. The majority (89.8%) of PCPs had a positive attitude and 68.0% had modest performance in the…[Read more]

Mast cell-derived IL-13 was required for induction of AAMΦ, whereas mast cell-derived IL-6 enhanced macrophage responsiveness to IL-13 via upregulation of the IL-4Rα receptor. Furthermore, we found that AAMΦ polarized by IL-33-stimulated mast cells could suppress proliferation and IL-17 and IFN-γ production by T cells. Finally, we show that AAM…[Read more]
