The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has induced a significant global concern on mental health. However few studies have measured the ability of individuals to "withstand setbacks, adapt positively, and bounce back from adversity" scale. We aimed examine level resilience, its determinants, association with maladaptive coping behaviours during pandemic.The Association Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) conducted survey involving 26 countries by online, self-administered questionnaire...
Several vaccines have been developed for COVID-19 since the pandemic began. This study aimed to evaluate factors associated with vaccination intention. A global survey was conducted across 26 countries from October, 2020 December, 2021 using an online self-administered questionnaire. Demographic information, socio-economic status, and clinical information were collected. logistic regression examined associations between vaccine intention such as perceptions presence of chronic physical...
Scaffolds based on aligned and non-aligned poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA)/polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers obtained by electrospinning, associated to electrosprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) for tissue engineering applications were developed their performance was compared in terms of morphology biological mechanical behaviors. The morphological results assessed scanning electron microscopy showed a mesh PLLA/PCL (random perfectly aligned) with aggregates nanophased HA. Fourier transform infrared...
Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in changes lifestyle habits and experiences of mental health outcomes, some which were possibly related to weight gain, leading an increase the prevalence obesity, is associated with development several severe diseases. Concerns regarding gain its impact on outcomes are prevalent worldwide, obesity being one highest causes mortality current society. Methods A self-reported questionnaire collected data from participants...
Globodera pallida genera pérdidas de hasta el 30 % en rendimiento cultivo papa Ecuador. El control químico la plaga supone riesgos toxicidad al suelo y para agricultor. En este estudio se determinó potencial nematicida nematostático in vitro del micelio agar agua filtrado caldo Pleurotus ostreatus medio Sabouraud sobre larvas J2 G. pallida. efecto observó un mayor porcentaje nemátodos inmóviles (34 %) a las 24 horas exposición, más efectivo 72 horas, con una mortalidad 80,3 %. No existió...

One of the complex challenges faced presently by tissue engineering (TE) is development vascularized constructs that accurately mimic extracellular matrix (ECM) native in which they are inserted to promote vessel growth and, consequently, wound healing and regeneration. TE technique characterized several stages, starting from choice cell culture more appropriate scaffold material can adequately support supply them with necessary biological cues for microvessel development. The next step...
Background: Previous studies have shown that patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) had a higher risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to evaluate the associated factors and global impact presence NCDs on COVID-19 related experience, behaviours, mental health outcomes. Methods: We conducted survey involving 26 countries by an online, self-administered questionnaire (October 2020–December 2021). Data sociodemographic variables, socioeconomic status, clinical...
