96, 95% CI=0.95, 0.97) and living alone compared to living with another adult (OR=1.23, 95% CI=1.05, 1.43). People with Parkinson’s disease dementia had a lower risk (OR=0.40, 95% CI=0.19, 0.84) than people with Alzheimer’s disease.

Patients, dental and healthcare personnel, and family members should all be aware of these risk factors so…[Read more]

AgF2 is a layered material and a correlated charge transfer insulator with an electronic structure very similar to the parent compounds of cuprate high-TC superconductors. It is also interesting as it is a powerful oxidizer. Here we present a first principles computation of its electronic properties in a slab geometry including its work function…[Read more]

Background and purpose – Guidelines for managing hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) advise extensive non-surgical treatment prior to surgery. We evaluated what percentage of hip and knee OA patients received non-surgical treatment prior to arthroplasty, and assessed patient satisfaction regarding alleviation of symptoms and performance of…[Read more]

Further studies are needed to confirm the potential of these drugs and also to determine if a subtype of patients or of psychotic features may be more likely to be improved by antidepressants.INTRODUCTION Serotonin syndrome is caused by excessive activation of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) neurotransmission. Although the discontinuation…[Read more]

004), as was the proportion who had spectacles (n=212, 35%, P less then 0.001), compared with the AUSS students. Multivariate analysis showed that ownership of spectacles among children who needed them was associated with worse uncorrected VA (P less then 0.001), male sex (P less then 0.001), and residence in an urban area (P less then 0.034).…[Read more]

Nanoscale magnetic field images of the magnetised magnetic nanoparticles spatially assigned to individual cells are superresolved by the NV centres within nanodiamonds conjugated with the magnetic nanoparticles with 20 nm resolutions. Our method offers a new platform for the super-resolution of optical magnetic imaging in biological samples…[Read more]

0 days. Patient engagement in the decision-making process should include considerations of patient knowledge of, and experience with, the various treatment options. © 2020 American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.BACKGROUND The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with noninvasive, nonenergy procedures for atrophic acne sc…[Read more]

Given their small size, flaviviruses are a good model system for understanding the role of intrinsically disordered protein regions in viral function. Finally, studying these viruses disordered protein regions will certainly contribute to the development of therapeutic approaches against such promising (yet challenging) targets. The potential…[Read more]

An imbalance of cellular oxidants and reductants causes redox stress, which must be rapidly detected to restore homeostasis. In bacteria, the Firmicutes encode conserved Spx-family transcriptional regulators that modulate transcription in response to redox stress. SpxA1 is an Spx-family orthologue in the intracellular pathogen Listeria…[Read more]

NAc related to prevention of chronic pain susceptibility. Finally, our findings confirmed previous literature supporting the crucial role of voluntary physical activity to prevent chronic pain and suggest that low levels of voluntary physical activity would be helpful and highly recommended as a complementary treatment for those with chronic pain.…[Read more]
