Mutations in the human adenomatous polyposis (APC) gene are causative for familial (FAP), a rare condition which numerous colonic polyps arise during puberty and, if left untreated, lead to colon cancer. The APC is tumor suppressor that has been termed "gatekeeper gene" In addition 100% mutation rate FAP patients, mutated >80% of sporadic and intestinal cancers. Apc mice either by chemical carcinogenesis, resulting Min mouse Apcdelta850, or heterologous recombination, Apcdelta716...
Economic migration is integral to processes of globalization, with large numbers the global poor moving across borders in search employment face structural adjustment programs and large-scale displacement from traditional forms livelihood. One such group are foreign domestic workers (FDWs). In this culture-centered study, we listen voices FDWs Singapore understand key meanings health held by migrant as they negotiate living working Singapore. Through representation FDW at sites where have...
The Marxist roots of critical methodology envision method as anchor to an emancipatory politics that seeks structural transformation. Drawing on our negotiations carrying out culture-centered health communication projects amidst neoliberal authoritarianism, we explore the nature academic-activist-community collaborations in envisioning democratic infrastructures for socialist organizing health. Method is thus inverted from hegemonic structures Whiteness construct extractive relationships...
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pharmacokinetics of orally administered cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors, with single or multiple dosing, is clinical relevance because it may relate to the analgesic efficacy these drugs. We enrolled 9 subjects implanted intrathecal catheters in study. After 50-mg oral rofecoxib administration, CSF drug concentration lagged slightly behind plasma concentration. The ratio 24-h area under drug-concentration curve (AUC) was 0.142. daily dosing 50 mg/d for days,...
This article seeks to contribute the literature on health information seeking (HIS) by culturally locating search for within local contexts of everyday life in Singapore, and meaning-making processes that individuals participate in. Based in-depth interviews with 100 participants selected through stratified sampling, it asks: How do Singaporeans make sense HIS realm their lived experiences? The study contributes roles familial ties play gathering sharing a collective context. More...
Introduction Students' peer relatedness is vital to their academic achievement and engagement. However, little known about the mechanisms that can explain such a link in health professions education, especially interprofessional education (IPE), where socialization promoted. To address research gap understanding social dynamics embedded within IPE impact on crucial motivational outcomes, this study examines how (belonging) mediates between motivation (both intrinsic extrinsic) engagement IPE.
Our paper extends channel complementarity theory, which has focused on evidence of and patterns use, by elucidating the notion trust complementarity. We examined trust, an information-carrier characteristic a core construct in health-focused decision-making to understand cancer information seeking, based data from two nationally representative surveys Singapore. Trust is found be differential, relational, ecological, with implications for individuals' access reliance doctors, family/friends,...
New selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors offer the benefit of cancer protection with less gastrointestinal toxicity associated nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). We hypothesize that MF tricyclic and sulindac can retard all stages tumor formation in nude mice. In a blinded placebo controlled study, 3 types experiments were performed: 1) 2.5 x 10(6) cells injected into 2 flanks mice subcutaneously, as model for situ (n = 192); 2) 1 cecum colorectal 78) 3) 0.5...
The consistent association between regular physical exercise and positive health outcomes presents a compelling case for investigating the differences individuals who regularly those do not. Based on randomized cross-sectional survey of 1,201 households, this study adopts psychographic framework to investigate role orientation in behavior. This extends concept orientation, operationalized as five subscales (health information preventative healthy eating efficacy) well three behavioral...
Aging simulation (experiencing age-related functional decline), an educational tool commonly used in geriatrics education, is widely recognised for being able to drive positive attitudinal change toward older patient care. However, scholars1 warned that, given its focus on limitations and disabilities, the method may lead junior medical students take barriers as impending irrevocable, thereby reinforcing myths negative assumptions ‘growing old’. Prior research reported aging simulation,...
Introduction: A novel initiative allowed third year medical students to pursue experiential learning during a year-long Enrichment Year programme as part of the core curriculum. ‘connect*ed’, an online virtual community was developed provide and social support help them link their diverse experiences with common goal being doctor. This study examined nature, pattern, content interactions among within this identify features that personal growth. Methods: quantitative-qualitative using...
