High Global Health Security Index is a determinant of early detection and response to monkeypox: A cross-sectional study

by Max Carlos Ramírez-Soto, Hugo Arroyo-Hernández

Introduction

Recent outbreaks of monkeypox (Mpox) have occurred in countries outside of Africa, with large numbers of cases spreading rapidly to almost every continent. We aimed to analyze the correlation between the Global Health Security (GHS) Index (categories and indicators) and the Mpox case rate in different regions and globally.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, we used data from Mpox cases from the WHO, and the GHS categories and indicators for detection... Читать дальше...

Association of adverse cardiovascular events with gabapentin and pregabalin among patients with fibromyalgia

by Yiheng Pan, Robert P. Blankfield, David C. Kaelber, Rong Xu

Objective

Fibromyalgia, a chronic pain disorder, impacts approximately 2% of adults in the US. Gabapentin and pregabalin are common treatments to manage fibromyalgia-related pain. Our recent study showed the risk of adverse cardiovascular events increased in diabetic neuropathy patients who were prescribed gabapentin or pregabalin. Here, we investigated whether the prescription of gabapentin or pregabalin has similar cardiovascular risk in patients with fibromyalgia. Читать дальше...

Measuring social norms related to child marriage among married women and men in Niger

by Pooja Sripad, Jessie Pinchoff, Chaibou Dadi, Leanne Dougherty

Background

Child marriage remains prevalent in the Sahel region. Pervasive norms regarding child marriage, and sexual behavior persist. We explored norms from multiple perspectives to strengthen interventions aimed at delaying age at marriage.

Methods

This study analyzed a cross-sectional household survey conducted in Niger in 2022 with women aged 15–49 (n = 2,726) and a subset of their male household members aged 15–59 (n = 1,136). Читать дальше...

Effective hands-on teaching strategy on participants’ confidence in medical writing and publishing: A before-after study

by Behrooz Astaneh, Hadi Raeisi Shahraki, Vala Astaneh, Gordon Guyatt

Proficiency in medical writing is crucial for disseminating reports of medical studies. The impact of workshops in this regard on participants’ confidence is a subject of debate. We assessed the impact of a hands-on workshop on participants’ confidence in medical writing. Participants of a 2-day “learning-by-doing” workshop held at McMaster University participated in this before-after study. We used a unique, reliable,... Читать дальше...

Management of chronic non-cancer pain by primary care physicians: A qualitative study

by Léa Rufener, Christina Akre, Pierre-Yves Rodondi, Julie Dubois

Chronic non-cancer pain is a highly prevalent health issue with personal and societal consequences. Patients suffering from chronic non-cancer pain are mainly cared for by primary care physicians, but research shows that the latter perceive treating chronic pain as difficult. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore how primary care physicians in Switzerland manage patients with chronic non-cancer pain and what factors influence patient management.

A convenient five-segment cassette procedure for DNA insertions coding for novel peptides

by Jonathan Filley

A DNA cassette assembly method is described which utilizes inexpensive oligomers no longer than 40 nt in length. The five-segment cassettes have 20 nt overlaps which give an effective length of 80 nt, making it possible to code for peptides up to 20 amino acids long. The cassettes have three phosphate free nicks, which can be successfully inserted into plasmid DNA and used to transform E. coli. The nicks are repaired in vivo by an unknown mechanism. Insertions are not successful... Читать дальше...

Flexibility in conceptual combinations: A neural network model of gradable adjective modification

by Georgia-Ann Carter, Frank Keller, Paul Hoffman

Our ability to combine simple constituents into more complex conceptual combinations is a fundamental aspect of cognition. Gradable adjectives (e.g., ‘tall’ and ‘light’) are a critical example of this process, as their meanings vary depending on the noun with which they are combined. For example, a dark diamond is less dark than dark charcoal. Here, we investigate how a neural network encodes the flexible nature of gradable adjectives in adjective–noun pairs... Читать дальше...

Non-linear trends using the generalized additive models in physical and technical performances of the Chinese Super League players

by Wei Zhang, Rancheng Tao, Fei Zhou, Changjing Zhou, Bo Gong

This study aimed to investigate the non-linear evolution of position-specific physical and technical performance indicators across different tactical formations in the Chinese Super League (CSL) from the 2015 to the 2021 seasons. Match data were collected from 800 games played in six common formations (3-5-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, 3-4-3, and 4-1-4-1). Players were classified into five positions: central defenders (CD; match observations = 2,219)... Читать дальше...
