Background/Objectives: Breast cancer survivors undergoing long-term endocrine therapy often experience multiple symptoms, including pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, hot flashes, anxiety, and depression. This study explored the feasibility acceptability of integrating acupuncture for symptom management in medically underserved breast survivors. Methods: randomized controlled trial was conducted at two clinics serving populations. (N = 62) were to receive (n 31) or usual care 31). The group...
To explore the flavor related regulatory mechanisms of fresh Corylus heterophylla × avellana , a joint analysis metabolome and transcriptome were utilized to compare two typical C. varieties with different flavors (‘yuzhui’ ‘pingou21’) in this paper. The results showed that genes including E2.4.1.67-1 E2.4.1.67-2 SUS-1 SUS-2 SUS-4 SUS-5 SUS-7 SUS-8 SUS-9 UGP2-2 identified as responsible for regulating levels stachyose, manninotriose raffinose hazelnuts. CS OGDH deemed involved citric acid...
The walnut (Juglans regia) is an important oilseed tree species characterized by its extensive distribution, high oil yield, and nutrient-dense kernels, which provide substantial economic benefits. However, the rising incidence of late-spring frosts, exacerbated global climate change, has adversely affected yields. A comprehensive understanding regulatory mechanisms involved in bud dormancy, germination, development essential for developing strategies to mitigate effects frosts breeding...
Remarkable inter-class similarity and intra-class variability of tomato leaf diseases seriously affect the accuracy identification models. A novel disease model, DWTFormer, based on frequency-spatial feature fusion, was proposed to address this issue. Firstly, a Bneck-DSM module designed extract shallow features, laying groundwork for deep extraction. Then, dual-branch mapping network (DFMM) multi-scale features from frequency spatial domain information. In branch, 2D discrete wavelet...
In Chicago, Black men who have sex with (MSM) and transgender gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals experience higher rates of HIV diagnoses. The Southside Chicago has a thriving house ball culture powered by MSM TGNC are disproportionately impacted HIV. While this community history facilitating health promotion at their events, gaps exist in community-empowered education specific to community. Through partnership between nursing students from University Illinois (UIC) leaders the Health...
Background/Objectives: Acupuncture is an efficacious integrative therapy for treating pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance (the psychoneurological symptom cluster) in breast cancer survivors. However, the mechanisms underlying its effects remain unclear, related metabolomics studies are limited. This study aimed to examine serum metabolite changes after acupuncture their relationships improvement. Methods: Forty-two survivors experiencing participated a single-arm trial. They received...
