Quinacrine is a versatile drug that is widely recognized for its antimalarial action through its inhibition of the phospholipase enzyme. It also has antianthelmintic and antiprotozoan activities and i...
. To digitally evaluate the trueness and fit of additively and subtractively manufactured fixed complete dentures in materials intended for definitive use....
. An edentulous maxillary model with implants at the left first molar, left canine, right canine, and right first molar site was digitized and a fixed complete denture was designed. This design was us...
. SM-ZR led to lower overall deviations than AM, which had the highest occlusal and the lowest abutments deviations (P ≤ 0.007). SM-ZR had the lowest occlusal and SM-CR had the highest except occlusal...
. SM-ZR dentures mostly had trueness and marginal fit similar to or better than the other groups. Tested fixed complete dentures were mostly smaller than the design file in terms of interimplant dista...
Clinical decision support (CDS) tools that incorporate machine learning-derived content have the potential to transform clinical care by augmenting clinicians' expertise. To realize this potential, su...
This study aimed to assess academic detailing as a method for simultaneously ensuring the correct understanding of an emergency department-based CDS tool to prevent future falls and identifying factor...
Previously, our team designed a CDS tool to identify patients aged 65 years and older who are at the highest risk of future falls and prompt an interruptive alert to clinicians, suggesting the patient...
The following categories of factors that impacted clinicians' use of the CDS were identified: (1) aspects of the CDS tool's design (2) clinicians' understanding (or misunderstanding) of the CDS or ref...
Our study demonstrates the use of academic detailing for supporting the implementation of health information technologies, allowing us to identify factors that impacted clinicians' use of the CDS whil...
Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) are envisaged as the most promising sustainable approach for green hydrogen production. However, the considerably high cost often associated with su...
Healthcare providers (HCPs) have described the onset of shame- and trust-violation-related moral injuries (MI) throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous research suggests that HCPs may turn to variou...
Mental health care needs have increased since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared. Peer support workers (PSWs) and the organizations that employ them have strived to provide services to meet increasing...
A qualitative case study approach was adopted. Interviews with PSWs who held formal, paid positions in a peer support organization were conducted. Data was analyzed thematically using both inductive a...
PSWs provided accounts of work-life boundary challenges that we grouped into three categories: temporal (work schedule encroachments, continuous online presence), physical (minimal workspace segregati...
The findings from this study can help inform management, practices, future research and policy on health care workforce. The study highlights the need to attend to the consequences of greater work-lif...
Foot orthoses are commonly used as a noninvasive treatment to relieve foot pain. The custom full-length insoles with various materials and designs have been studied for their effectiveness in reducing...
To evaluate the effects of the hardness of custom medial arch supports on plantar pressure and comfort perception....
Randomized crossover study....
Two custom silicone medial arch supports of varying hardness (A and B) were fabricated using 3D printing technology and tested in 12 healthy volunteers against a commercially prefabricated arch suppor...
After 1-month intervention, both 3D-printed and prefabricated medial arch supports demonstrated significantly higher average pressure in the midfoot ( P < 0.001), whereas significantly lower average p...
The material hardness had no apparent effect on plantar pressure distribution. The three medial arch supports showed reducing plantar heel pressure. Further research is needed to investigate the poten...
Food-insecure households commonly rely on food pantries to supplement their nutritional needs, a challenge that was underscored during the COVID-19 pandemic. Food pantries, and the food banks that sup...
This paper describes the protocol for a randomized controlled trial of the SAFPAS mobile application. We will conduct formative research in Baltimore, Maryland and Detroit, Michigan to develop and ref...
We anticipate that SAFPAS will improve alignment in the supply and demand for healthy foods among food pantry clients, food pantries, and city agencies which supply food in Baltimore. Real-time, bidir...
NCT87654321. https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05880004....
Knee support, frequently made from sponge, is used to reduce injury. Sponge has less elasticity and durability compared with natural rubber. To our knowledge, there was no study that demonstrated the ...
The study consisted of three phases: (I) measuring reduced compression force, (II) producing size-appropriate knee support prototypes, and (III) conducting a randomized crossover trial, including 8 we...
A better compression force reduction in natural rubber (60%) than sponge (12%) was demonstrated. Knee support comprised a body part, made from natural-stretchable cotton and a protection part, made fr...
Natural rubber knee support showed comparable effectiveness in the prevention of knee bleeding but was superior to sponge knee support in compression force reduction and satisfaction....
