OBJECTIVES to understand the meaning of transformational leadership and develop an educational intervention addressing this theme. METHODS content analysis and action research for the collective construction of an educational intervention addressing management practices and their association with transformational leadership. The setting was the…[Read more]

Background Several strategies have been proposed to determine onset of puberty without examination by a trained professional. This study sought to evaluate a novel approach to determine onset of puberty in girls. Methods This study utilized the Cincinnati cohort of the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program. Girls were recruited at 6-7…[Read more]

We found that taking SG significantly reduced the depressive symptoms assessed by HAMD-24 and improved cognitive functions assessed by MoCA in PSD patients. Furthermore, at baseline, PSD patients showed decreased dALFF in the right precuneus and increased dFC between the right precuneus and left angular gyrus, compared with HC. After intervention,…[Read more]

Roxithromycin (ROX) is a widely used macrolide antibiotic and its environmental fate and ecotoxicity have attracted considerable attention. In this study, the phototransformation kinetics and products of ROX under the irradiation of simulated sunlight were investigated. The ecotoxicity of ROX before and after phototransformation were also examined…[Read more]

Laboratory zebrafish are commonly infected with the intracellular, brain-infecting microsporidian parasite Pseudoloma neurophilia. Chronic P. neurophilia infections induce inflammation in meninges, brain and spinal cord, and have been suggested to affect neural functions since parasite clusters reside inside neurons. However, underlying neural and…[Read more]

Long-term durability should be confirmed by larger ongoing researches. Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome (MCTO) is a rare form of skeletal dysplasia characterized by progressive bone resorption, in the carpal and tarsal bones. Patients may develop chronic kidney disease, which eventually advances to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Both…[Read more]

Nowadays, we can confidently state that systematic lymphadenectomy in patients with advanced ovarian cancer without clinically apparent nodal disease is not necessary, and the presence of macroscopic retroperitoneal lymph node disease should be resected as part of cytoreductive surgery since it will be this and the residual disease that determine…[Read more]

833. Importantly, HA alone yielded an AUROC of 0.828. Detection of CSPH in strictly compensated ACLD (cACLD) patients was less accurate AUROC0.759 (P less then 0.001). CSPH was ruled-in by ELF≥11.1 with a PPV of 98% (sensitivity61%/specificity92%/NPV24%), but CSPH could not be ruled-out. ELF score had a low AUROC of 0.677 (0.60-0.75; P less then 0…[Read more]

The average sleep duration ranged between 747 and 907 hours on school days and between 931 and 1022 hours on nonschool days, and the proportion of adolescents meeting sleep recommendations ranged between 32% and 86% on school days and between 79% and 92% on nonschool days. Sleep patterns by gender and affluence groups were largely similar, but…[Read more]

Differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) thermogram suggested the complete amorphization of EFV within the film. EZ film rapidly disintegrated (30 s) with complete release of EFV in SVF and SSF. The film was found to be non-toxic to HeLa cells and showed similar anti-HIV-1 activity as that of EFV in DMSO. EZ film did not show any significant change…[Read more]

Hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy treatments (SBRT) have demonstrated impressive results for the treatment of a variety of solid tumors. The role of tumor supporting vasculature damage in treatment outcome for SBRT has been intensely debated and studied. Fast, non-invasive, longitudinal assessments of tumor vasculature would allow…[Read more]
