<p>This study explores how sex workers’ gender, ethnicity, and immigration status influence public attitudes toward sex work in the United States. Using a randomized experiment, 1,193 respondents evaluated a hypothetical ... -
Testing of a predictive risk index for persistent postsurgical pain on patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty: A prospective cohort study
<p><strong>Background: </strong>We investigated whether a universal predictive risk index for persistent postsurgical pain (PPP) is applicable to patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA).</p><p><strong>Methods: ... -
FinnGen provides genetic insights from a well-phenotyped isolated population
<p>Population isolates such as those in Finland benefit genetic research because deleterious alleles are often concentrated on a small number of low-frequency variants (0.1% <= minor allele frequency < 5%). These variants ... -
Numerical computation of a preimage domain for an infinite strip with rectilinear slits
<p>Let Ω be the multiply connected domain in the extended complex plane C obtained by removing <em>m</em> non-overlapping rectilinear segments from the infinite strip <em>S</em> = {<em>z</em> : |Im<em>z</em>| < π /2}. In ... -
Increased innate immune responses in adolescents with obesity and its relation to subclinical cardiovascular measures : an exploratory study
<p>Cardiometabolic risk accrues across the lifecourse and childhood and adolescence are key periods for effective prevention. Obesity is associated with inflammation in adults, but paediatric data are scarce. In a ... -
The Impacts of Loading From Acid Sulfate Soils on Boreal Estuarine Sediments
Estuaries play a vital role in the coastal environment by filtering pollutants and nutrients from catchment runoff. In areas where acid sulfate (AS) soils are abundant, the importance of the estuary as a coastal filter is ... -
Associations of leisure-time physical activity and active school transport with mental health outcomes: A population-based study
Promoting physical activity can improve population health. This study aimed to examine associations of leisure-time moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and active school transport with mental health, that is, symptoms ... -
Parsimonious immune-response endotypes and global outcome in patients with traumatic brain injury
<p><strong>Background: </strong>The inflammatory response in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) offers opportunities for stratification and intervention. Previous unselected approaches to immunomodulation in patients ... -
Protocol for preparing dynamic covalent macrocycles for co-delivering genes and drugs to cancer cell lines
<p>Combination therapy using effective drug molecules and functional genes such as small interfering RNA (siRNA) has been suggested as a powerful strategy against multiple drug resistance. Here, we present a protocol for ... -
Persistent oral mucosal lesions preceding diagnosis of Crohn's disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis
Oral mucosal lesions may persist years before symptoms or diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and subsequent primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Since a dental practitioner may be the first clinician to suspect ... -
Maksasolusyövän onkologinen lääkehoito
<p>Maksasolusyöpä yleistyy Suomessa. Sorafenibi, suun kautta otettava tyrosiinikinaasin estäjä, on pitkään ollut leikkaukseen soveltumattoman tai edenneen maksasolusyövän lääkehoidon kulmakivi. Hoito on luonteeltaan ... -
Transcription Factor USF1 Is Required for Maintenance of Germline Stem Cells in Male Mice
<p>A prerequisite for lifelong sperm production is that spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) balance self-renewal and differentiation, yet factors required for this balance remain largely undefined. Using mouse genetics, we ... -
Severe bronchiolitis profiling as the first step towards prevention of asthma
Bronchiolitis is the most common respiratory infection leading to hospitalization and constitutes a significant healthcare burden. The two main viral agents causing bronchiolitis, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and ... -
Health data leaks to third parties in web-based health services
Today, users may share sensitive health data on web-based health services. We rely on these services to keep our data safe and secured, but this is not always the case. Therefore, this study investigates the privacy of a ... -
Haro 5-2: A New Pre-main-sequence Quadruple Stellar System
We have discovered that the H alpha emission-line star Haro 5-2, located in the 3-6 Myr old Ori OB1b association, is a young quadruple system. The system has a 2+2 configuration, with an outer separation of 2.'' 6 and with ... -
Guidelines for the description of rhizobial symbiovars
Rhizobia are bacteria that form nitrogen-fixing nodules in legume plants. The sets of genes responsible for both nodulation and nitrogen fixation are carried in plasmids or genomic islands that are often mobile. Different ... -
