Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on teachers professional and personal lives. Our primary aim was to assess the effect of blended Inquiry-Based Stress Reduction (IBSR), an emerging mindfulness cognitive reframing intervention teacher's well-being. secondary aims were IBSR resilience, burnout, mindfulness, stress among during pandemic. Methods: study prospective controlled trial with group (N = 35) comparison control 32). took place in Jerusalem District throughout...
Abstract Current healthcare practices are reactive and use limited physiological clinical information, often collected months or years apart. Moreover, the discovery profiling of blood biomarkers in research settings constrained by geographical barriers, cost inconvenience in-clinic venepuncture, low sampling frequency depth molecular measurements. Here we describe a strategy for frequent capture analysis thousands metabolites, lipids, cytokines proteins 10 μl alongside information from...
We have studied the early stages of melting freestanding graphene lattice using accurate density functional theory.
Voluntary pledges to make intellectual property broadly available address urgent public health crises can overcome administrative and legal hurdles faced by more elaborate arrangements such as patent pools achieve greater acceptance than governmental compulsory licensing.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in choline metabolizing genes are associated with disease risk and greater susceptibility to organ dysfunction under conditions of dietary restriction. However, the underlying metabolic signatures these variants not well characterized it is unknown whether genotypic differences persist at recommended intakes. Thus, we sought determine if common genetic factors alter dynamics pregnant, lactating, non-pregnant women consuming intakes meeting exceeding...
Abstract Wearable devices digitally measuring vital signs have been used for monitoring health and illness onset high potential real-time disease detection. As such they are potentially useful during public crises, as the current COVID-19 global pandemic. Using smartwatch data from 31 infected individuals identified a cohort of over 5000 participants, we investigated use wearables early, presymptomatic detection COVID-19. From physiological activity data, first demonstrate that infections...
Although single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in folate-mediated pathways predict susceptibility to choline deficiency during severe deprivation, it is unknown if effects persist at recommended intakes. Thus, we used stable isotope liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methodology examine the impact of candidate SNPs on metabolism a long-term, randomized, controlled feeding trial among pregnant, lactating, and nonpregnant (NP) women consuming 480 or 930 mg/d (22% as choline-d9,...
Abstract Psychological factors are amongst the most robust predictors of healthspan and longevity, yet rarely incorporated into scientific medical frameworks aging. The prospect characterizing integrating psychological influences aging is therefore an unmet step for advancement geroscience. Psychogenic Aging research emerging branch biogerontology that aims to address this gap by investigating impact on human longevity. It interdisciplinary field integrates complex psychological,...
Recently, freestanding atomically thick Fe metal patches up to 10 atoms wide have been fabricated experimentally in tiny pores graphene. This concept can be extended conceptually monolayers. We therefore performed ab initio molecular dynamics simulations evaluate the early melting stages of platinum, silver, gold, and copper Our calculations show that all four monolayers will form quasi-2D liquid layers with significant out-of-plane motion diffusion plane. Remarkably, we observe a 4%...
Burnout is a well-known phenomenon with significant social, biological and economic costs. In particular, teacher burnout associated unfavorable mental health outcomes costs due to reduced hours turnover. This study investigated the effect of an Inquiry-Based Stress Reduction (IBSR) cognitive-reframing program on using quasi-experimental design. Fifty-three teachers participated in prospective intervention passive control group. The group completed 12-week IBSR 4.5 h weekly engagement....
Research has identified reduced circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in individuals with the rs7041 (c.1296T>G) T allele vitamin binding protein gene ( GC); however, effects of on biomarkers during pregnancy and lactation are unknown. Thus, we examined metabolic GC among third-trimester pregnant n = 26), lactating 28), nonpregnant/nonlactating 21) women consuming a single amount (511 IU/d) related nutrients for 10-12 wk. carriers had less 25(OH)D, regardless reproductive state...
Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide yet its underlying factors, particularly microbial associations, are poorly understood.
Abstract Blood pressure (BP) is a known cardiovascular risk factor that hypothesised to be inversely related choline intake. A previous study suggested this association may more apparent in older adults and differ according demographic health characteristics. The primary objectives are investigate the cross-sectional associations of total intake with BP ( n 843) prevalent hypertension 2113) among USA aged ≥ 65 years using sample from 2011 2014 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey....
Stuttering is a speech disorder that can cause disturbances in the timing and flow of speech. In addition to being communication disorder, stuttering often accompanied by reduction quality life has impacts on social status, mental well-being, self-acceptance, chances integration into labor market. The Inquiry Based Stress Reduction (IBSR) program, developed United States Byron Katie 1986, clinical application “The Work” method (Thework.com) represents an emerging mindfulness...
<h3>Importance</h3> The high risk for breast and ovarian cancers conferred by being a carrier of<i>BRCA1</i>or<i>BRCA2</i>germline variant can negatively impact physical psychological well-being. Novel nonpharmacological interventions on well-being in women with<i>BRCA</i>variants have rarely been reported. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the effect of 12-week inquiry-based stress reduction (IBSR) program well-being, sleep quality, psychosocial variables, attitudes toward risk-reducing...
Imagine wearing a shirt or wristband that tells you how hard are exercising warns if getting sick. These simple examples of wearable medical devices could transform healthcare—either by helping people to manage serious diseases they already have, spotting the early signs disease so it can be treated before person even feels This article will focus on two wearables: one for management diabetes and another may able prevent heart attacks. Wearables like these many others being developed greatly...
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact an immersive seminar, which included moderate intensities physical activity, on learning when compared traditional lecture format. Twenty-six healthy participants were randomly divided into seminar or format group and presented material related positive psychology human values/beliefs over course two days. Physical activity collected using a bio-harness while salivary cortisol perceptual measures well-being Performance examination used...
