We hypothesized that nationwide social distancing and other preventive measures for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were associated with reduced detection of viruses in South Korea. analyzed national surveillance data to compare incidence during 2016-2019 vs 2020. Results multiplex reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction assays 8 included: adenovirus (ADV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), syncytial (RSV), influenza (IFV), human (HCoV; non-SARS-CoV-2),...
This letter presents a gripper module for snake-like robot to perform search and rescue tasks in narrow space. The proposed has three features: (1) It can accommodate the fingers inside its body. (2) that grip objects with irregular surfaces stably. (3) One of is equipped camera on fingertip To implement above features small, light, compact module, we propose novel design eight degrees freedom. joint configuration unique compared general-type gripper. A prototype been integrated into...
Several in vitro studies have suggested the effects of adipokines and insulin resistance on breast cancer cell proliferation survival. However, little is known about clinical significance these findings. We examined associations between recurrence adiponectin, leptin, resistance, metabolic syndrome (MetS) a cohort 747 patients from 2001 to 2004. Adjusted hazard ratios showed an inverse trend across quartiles for serum adiponectin concentration estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone (PR)...
The objective of this study was to determine the effects farm management and environmental factors on preharvest spinach contamination with generic Escherichia coli as an indicator fecal contamination. A repeated cross-sectional conducted by visiting farms up four times per growing season over a period 2 years (2010 2011). Spinach samples ( n = 955) were collected from 12 in Colorado Texas representative states Western Southwestern United States, respectively. During each visit, farmers...
Purpose: To describe the relationship between waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) to evaluate validity of WHtR in identifying adolescents with metabolic syndrome. Materials Methods:We analyzed data from a pooled population 4068 aged 10-19 years Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys conducted 1998 2008.Overweight individuals were defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥85th percentile.Those at least 2 CMRFs among hypertension, hyperglycemia,...
In this study, a comprehensive investigation was performed to understand the overall occurrence, relative distribution, and bioaccumulation of seven different groups POPs, comprising 27 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 76 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 23 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), three hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs), 13 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) as legacy 41 naphthalenes (PCNs) 24 short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) emerging by monitoring crucian carp,...
Cytochrome P-450 (P-450)-dependent aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHHase) and 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylase (ECDEtase) in human tissues were differentially inhibited by monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that prepared to inhibit completely the activity of 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rat liver P-450. The AHHase ECDEtase placentas from individual women who smoked MAbs 83-90% 34-74%, respectively. Benz[a]anthracene (BaA)-induced lymphocytes 18-65% 30-78%, enzymes both control BaA-induced cells culture...
Abstract Background Clinicians cannot reliably predict complications of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO). Methods Consecutive cases AHO from 2 pediatric centers in the United States were analyzed retrospectively to develop clinical tools data obtained within 96 hours hospitalization and chronic AHO. Two novel composite prediction scores derived multivariable logistic regression modeling compared with a previously published severity illness (SOI) score, C-reactive protein (CRP),...
Abstract Aims Concerns have been raised regarding the potential causal relationship between myocarditis and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. In response, Korea Disease Control Prevention Agency actively monitored pericarditis in adolescents who received vaccines South Korea. Understanding long-term health outcomes of these cases is essential for developing evidence-based national policies. We aimed to identify health-related quality life (HRQoL) through follow-up observations this population. Methods...
We have studied the expression of aldrin eposidase (AE), 7-ethoxycoumarin-O-deethylase (ECDE), and aryl hydrocarbon (benzo[a]pyrene) hydroxylase (AHH) in nine differentiated or dedifferentiated cell lines derived from H4IIEC3 rat hepatoma cells. The nature cytochromes P-450 mediating AE, ECDE AHH activities was analysed using monoclonal antibodies (MAb) made to major 3-methylcholanthrene-induced cytochrome (MAb-MC) phenobarbital-induced (MAb-PB) liver. cells were treated with 5 microM...
Purpose Clinical performance evaluations are major components of medical school clerkship grades. But they sufficiently objective? This study aimed to determine whether student and evaluator gender is associated with assessment overall clinical performance. Method was a retrospective analysis 4,272 core by 829 evaluators 155 third-year students, within the Alpert Medical School grading database for 2013–2014 academic year. Overall performance, assessed on three-point scale (meets...
