BackgroundThe Simple Shoulder Test (SST) is a simple and short patient-reported outcome measuring functional limitations of the affected shoulder in patients with shoulder dysfunction. Although it is widely used in different clinical cultures, literature review to date revealed that the SST has not been yet translated nor validated in the Arabic language.
Research objectivesTo translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Arabic version of the Simple Shoulder Test (SST). Читать дальше...

BackgroundPredicting reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after resection of a benign or low-grade brain tumour provides the opportunity for early intervention, and targeted expenditure of scarce supportive care resources. We aimed to develop, and evaluate the performance of, machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict HRQoL outcomes in this patient group.
MethodsUsing a large prospective dataset of HRQoL outcomes... Читать дальше...

Research consistently shows that students from academic households are more likely to enter higher education than students from non-academic households. These inequalities are only secondarily due to differences in performance (i.e., primary effects), but mostly due to students’ decision making behavior (i.e., secondary effects). The relative share to which primary effects and secondary effects mediate the effect of students’ educational... Читать дальше...

The study intends to increase the marketing quantity of various commodities and promote the comprehensive development of the market. The study first discusses the principle and current situation of the emerging Immersive Marketing. Then, it analyzes the Deep Learning (DL) Neural Network (NN) model. Finally, a Personalized Recommendation System (PRS) is designed based on the Immersive Marketing environment using the Graph Neural Network (GNN) model. The proposed... Читать дальше...

In South Korea, in 2019, approximately 45.5% of newly-graduated nurses quit their jobs within one year of employment. To better understand the adjustment to nursing practice upon graduation, we developed an online communication skills training program based on nonviolent communication and evaluated its effectiveness. A quasi-experimental design was adopted. The sample included 28 participants in the experimental group and 27 in the control group after one participant in the control group dropped out.

It is puzzling how altruistic punishment of defectors can evolve in large groups of nonrelatives, since punishers should voluntarily bear individual costs of punishing to benefit those who do not pay the costs. Although two distinct mechanisms have been proposed to explain the puzzle, namely voluntary participation and group-level competition and selection, insights into their joint effects have been less clear. Here we investigated... Читать дальше...

Study objectiveThe impairment of the ovarian response in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles after salpingectomy remains contentious. Therefore, we investigated whether a history of salpingectomy affects the number of oocytes retrieved in women undergoing IVF in comparison with the number in women without underlying tubal disease.
DesignCase–control study (Canadian Task Force Classification II-2).
SettingA tertiary hospital–affiliated fertility center. Читать дальше...

BackgroundMalaria has been strongly linked to the transmission and pathophysiology of some viral diseases. Malaria and vaccine-preventable diseases often co-exist in endemic countries but the implication of their co-existence on their transmission dynamics and control is poorly understood. The study aims to evaluate the relationships between the incidence of malaria and cases of measles and yellow fever in Africa.
MethodsThe malaria incidence... Читать дальше...

Mendelian randomization (MR) is an instrumental variable (IV) method using genetic variants such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as IVs to disentangle the causal relationship between an exposure and an outcome. Since any causal conclusion critically depends on the three valid IV assumptions, which will likely be violated in practice, MR methods robust to the IV assumptions are greatly needed. As such a method, Egger regression stands out as one... Читать дальше...
