The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—fourth edition (WAIS-IV) and the Memory (WMS-IV) were co-developed to be used individually or as a combined battery of tests. independent factor structure each tests has been identified; however, yet determined. Confirmatory analysis was applied WAIS-IV/WMS-IV (i.e., age 16-69 years) co-norming sample ( n = 900) test 13 measurement models. results indicated that two models fit data equally well. One model is seven-factor solution without hierarchical...

Abstract Aims To compare the accuracy of Yakebot dental implant robotic system with that fully guided static computer‐assisted surgery (CAIS) template in edentulous implantation. Materials and Methods Thirteen patients were recruited divided into two groups: Yake group (experimental) ( n = 5) CAIS (control) 8). Postoperative cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed immediately, 3‐dimensional positions implants obtained compared preoperative design. The comparison showed platform,...

Multiple myeloma (MM), a prevalent plasma cell malignancy, represents life-threatening hematological disorder with significant clinical morbidity. Despite its recognized impact on global health burdens, the precise molecular pathogenesis underlying disease progression remains incompletely elucidated. Transcriptomic profiling via RNA sequencing revealed upregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase regulatory subunit 2 (CKS2) in multiple myeloma. Clinical validation was performed through...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been routinely performed in applicable early gastric cancer (EGC) patients as an alternative to conventional surgical operations that involve lymph node dissection. The indications for ESD have recently expanded include larger, ulcerated, and undifferentiated mucosal lesions, differentiated lesions with slight invasion. risk of metastasis (LNM) is the most important consideration when deciding on a treatment strategy EGC. Despite advantages over...

Systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) are distillation of current best available evidence, but potentially prone to bias. The bias SRs MAs comes from sampling bias, selection within study So, their reporting quality is especially important as it may directly influence utility for clinicians, nurses, patients policy makers. on nursing interventions in with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been increasingly published over the past decade, article has not evaluated after introduction...

This study investigated the Wechsler Performance IQ (PIQ) or Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI)/ Organization (POI) change over time and its relation to ability levels. PIQ PRI/ POI was analyzed because of known sensitivity nonverbal scales Flynn effect. Scores were using two methods. First, analysis covariance applied combination four representative samples individuals who administered following pairs batteries in counterbalanced order: Preschool Primary Scale Intelligence—Revised (WPPSI-R)...

Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) reportedly has a key regulatory role in (MMP) activities and the progression of atherosclerosis. Statins, which are anti‑atherosclerotic pharmacological agents, widely applied clinical settings. The aim present study was to investigate pharmaceutical effect atorvastatin on EMMPRIN expression atherosclerotic plaques. An mouse model established using apoliprotein E‑deficient (ApoE‑/‑) mice raised high‑fat diet. Additionally, low (5...

Multivariable logistic regression (MLR) has been increasingly used in Chinese clinical medical research during the past few years. However, evaluations of quality reporting strategies these studies are available. To evaluate and model accuracy MLR published work, related advice for authors, readers, reviewers, editors. A total 316 articles 5 leading journals with high impact factor from January 2010 to July 2015 were selected evaluation. Articles evaluated according 12 established criteria...

The aim of this study was to investigate predictors lymph node metastasis (LNM) in early gastric signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) and determine clinicopathologic prognostic differences different histologic subtypes. We retrospectively analyzed 13,661 cancer patients; 231 were eligible for inclusion. Data clinical, endoscopic, histopathologic characteristics prognoses collected. Patients followed up regarding postresection survival; overall disease-specific survival rates estimated by the...

Abstract This study used a mixed methodology to investigate reliability, validity, and analysis level with Chinese immigrant observational data. European‐American coders quantitatively rated 755 minutes of parent–toddler dinner interactions on parental sensitivity, intrusiveness, detachment, negative affect, positive parents' confidence. They also gave qualitative coding rationales for their quantitative ratings. Analysis ratings indicated systematic differences associated coder ethnicity....
