This study aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative education using virtual reality (VR) on preoperative anxiety and information desire. The participants were randomly assigned to the VR group and control group. The VR group received preoperative education using VR content describing preoperative and postoperative processes and their management, and the control group received preoperative…

Tonic immobility (freezing) during sexual and physical assaults produces stronger memory effects than other characteristics of the assaults by David C Rubin
Tonic immobility (TI) is a phylogenetically conserved, passive, obligatory defense mechanism commonly engaged during sexual and physical assaults. During TI, people become immobile while remaining conscious and later reexperience intrusive memories of both their assault and of its accompanying immobility. Here we show that this well-studied biological process has powerful effects on memory and other…
Effects of High-flux Hemodialysis With Narrative Care on Clinical Efficacy and Prognostic Quality of Life of Patients With Chronic Renal Failure by Yaping Weng
CONCLUSIONS: Narrative care can effectively enhance the safety of HFHD treatment in CRF patients and reduce patients’ negative emotions postintervention, which is important for improving their QoL.
Value of Comprehensive Rehabilitation Therapy in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and its Effect on Improving Inflammation by Zheng Li
CONCLUSION: Comprehensive rehabilitation therapy can improve the exercise capacity and lung function of patients with COPD, reduce inflammation, and improve patients’ negative psychology.
Mental health and substance use disorders in young adults with spina bifida by Bao Y Sciscent
CONCLUSIONS: Young adults with SB have higher prevalence rates of MHDs and SUDs compared with the general population. Therefore, incorporation of mental health and substance use management is critical to facilitate transition to adulthood.
Antioxidants: an approach for restricting oxidative stress induced neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease by Sonal Dubey
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, affecting millions of people worldwide. Oxidative stress contributes towards induction of neurodegeneration. It is one of the reasons behind initiation and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding of oxidative balance and restoration of oxidative stress has demonstrated its effectiveness in the management of AD. Various natural and…
Saltbuch extract: a bio-solutionfor cadmium stress sorghum plants in germination and maturation by Abdelhamid Ennoury
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the dangerous factors that have negative impacts on plants and human health. Recently, many researchers have been looking for biostimulants to use as bioprotectants that can help or ameliorate plants’ tolerance against abiotic stress, including Cd. To test the dangerousness of Cd accumulated in the soil, 200 µM of the…
Citrullinemia is a suitable biomarker for post weaning performance in piglets under intensive farming by Alejandro L Soraci
OBJECTIVE: To describe citrullinemia profiles during the weaning transition and correlate citrulline production with stress and growth in a commercial pig farm.
Somatic and terminal CB1 receptors are differentially coupled to voltage-gated sodium channels in neocortical neurons by Luke J Steiger
Endogenous cannabinoid signaling is vital for important brain functions, and the same pathways can be modified pharmacologically to treat pain, epilepsy, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Endocannabinoid-mediated changes to excitability are predominantly attributed to 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) acting presynaptically via the canonical cannabinoid receptor, CB1. Here, we identify a mechanism in the neocortex by which anandamide (AEA),…
Intramolecular-Catalyzed Vitrimers with White-Light Emission for Light-Emitting Diode Encapsulation by Hong Gao
Currently available encapsulating materials for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) have certain limitations, such as the toxicity of phosphors and the non-recyclable nature of the encapsulating materials. In this study, relatively promising encapsulating materials with two significant advantages have been developed. First, chips can be directly encapsulated without phosphors using luminescent encapsulating materials. Second, the encapsulating…
Nutrient density and oral processing properties of common commercial complementary porridge samples used in Southern Africa: effect on energy and protein intakes among children aged 6-24 months by James Makame
Child malnutrition is an endemic public health problem in Africa. Infants are supposed to receive complementary foods from about six months onwards, as breastmilk alone no longer provide adequate nutrients. Commercially available complementary foods (CACFs) form an important part of baby foods in developing countries. However, systematic evidence on whether they really meet optimal quality…
Assessing the Risk of Hypoglycemia Secondary to Propranolol Therapy for the Treatment of Supraventricular Tachycardia in Infants by N Parker
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the most common arrhythmia among infants. Prevention of SVT is frequently managed through propranolol therapy. Hypoglycemia is a known adverse effect of propranolol therapy, but little research has been done on the incidence and risk of hypoglycemia in treatment of SVT in infants with propranolol. This study attempts to offer insight…
