5%, which is lower than the average COVID‑19 fatality rate in other European countries. The risk of in‑hospital death was associated with sex, age, and the number of coexisting diseases, such as chronic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

The estimated in‑hospital fatality rate for COVID‑19 was 11.5%, which is lower than the average…[Read more]

Having a known midwife throughout pregnancy, birth and the early parenting period improves outcomes for mothers and babies. CCS-1477 In Australia, midwifery continuity of care has been recommended in all states, territories and nationally although uptake has been slow. Several barriers exist to implementing midwifery continuity of care models and…[Read more]

Specifically, the results showed direct negative associations between developmental assets and substance use behaviors and positive associations of developmental assets with mental health indicators. Internal assets appear to be a stronger predictor of social, emotional, and psychological well-being compared to external assets. We did not find any…[Read more]

Additionally, the simulations of the V NAR in complex with the hen egg-white lysozyme show that the V NAR antibodies evidently follow the concept of conformational selection, as the binding-competent state already preexisted even without the presence of the antigen. To have a more detailed description of antibody-antigen recognition, we also…[Read more]

Indonesian version of HIV Symptom Index is reliable (cronbach alpha 0.76) and valid (multitrait correlation >0.4) for measuring symptoms of HIV/AIDS patients.

nesis inhibitors toward longer survival; and will play an important role in the personalized treatment of NSCLC.

The present findings suggest that DCE-integrated MR-PET provides a reliable, non-invasive, quantitative assessment of tumor angiogenesis; can guide the use of angiogenesis inhibitors toward longer survival; and will play an important…[Read more]

Acclimation of plants to water deficit involves biochemical and physiological adjustments. Here, we studied how ultraviolet (UV)-B exposure and exogenously applied hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) potentiates drought tolerance in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. xanthi nc). Separate and combined applications for 14 days of 1.75 kJ m-2 day-1 UV-B radia…[Read more]
