Taking an approach integrating principles of leader-member exchange (LMX) differentiation with social comparison theory, we contend that subjective ratings by individuals their LMX compared to the LMXs coworkers (labeled comparison, or LMXSC) explain unique and meaningful variance in outcomes beyond actual standing those distribution, referred as relative LMX, RLMX. Our findings demonstrate employees' perceptions LMXSC are positively related effects RLMX job performance citizenship...
Objective Poststroke depression (PSD) occurs in the context of abrupt, often catastrophic disability that finds patient and his or her family unprepared. We developed Ecosystem Focused Therapy (EFT), a systematic intervention aimed to increase PSD patient's ecosystem's abilities address “psychosocial storm” utilize available treatments effectively efficiently. This is preliminary study its efficacy. Design A total 24 patients were randomly assigned receive weekly sessions EFT comparison...
Objective: Early identification of individuals who are at risk for suicide is crucial in supporting prevention. Machine learning emerging as a promising approach to support this objective. broadly defined set mathematical models and computational algorithms designed automatically learn complex patterns between predictors outcomes from example data, without being explicitly programmed do so. The model's performance continuously improves over time by newly available data. Method: This concept...

First-month renal function trajectories after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation vary widely. Lack of improvement (RFI) and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) are associated with increased mortality. This study evaluates plasma levels endostatin cystatin C as predictors RFI AKI 1 month post-LVAD implantation. We prospectively enrolled 52 advanced heart failure patients undergoing LVAD Blood samples were collected pre-implant at 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks post-implant. Plasma...
Cluster or group randomized trials (CRTs) are increasingly used for behavioral as well system-level interventions in many areas e.g. medicine, psychotherapy, policy, and health service research etc. Sample size determination each level at the design stage is always a key requirement any intervention trial including CRT. This work addresses this important issue four-level longitudinal CRT via detecting effect over time. A random intercept slope mixed effects linear regression model,...
Measles a highly transmissible viral disease continues to pose major public health threat globally, despite the availability of an effective vaccine. The World Health Organisation recommends that first dose measles vaccine be administered between 9-12 months age, based on risk maternal antibody interference and timing infant's immune system maturity. However, infants younger than 9 remain vulnerable measles, particularly in areas with high transmission rates low herd immunity. To address...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Emerging adulthood is a high-risk period during which many with type 1 diabetes (T1D) demonstrate suboptimal management and glycemic control. There need for effective scalable interventions designed specifically this population. Technology-based approaches are readily accessed by age group. Further, that consistent self-determination theory (SDT) – posits the fulfillment of psychological needs autonomy, self-efficacy, relatedness promote intrinsic motivation...
Cytotoxic effects of cisplatin occur primarily through apoptosis. Though several pro- and anti-apoptotic signaling molecules have been identified to play an important role in mediating the ototoxic, nephrotoxic, neurotoxic side-effects cisplatin, underlying mechanism is yet be fully characterized. We reported that nitration LIM domain only 4 (LMO4), a transcriptional regulator, facilitates cochlear apoptosis cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. However, its cisplatin-mediated nephrotoxicity...
Objectives This study examined rates of anticipated stigma and its impact on successful mental health referrals among elderly clients home-delivered nutrition services who met criteria for depression. Methods Elderly (N=732) admitted to a home meal program between December 2004 June 2006 were assessed depression, cognitive impairment, stigma. Gender race comparisons conducted, predictors receiving referral identified. Results African Americans more likely than Caucasians report high stigma,...
Abstract Objective: To examine childhood perfectionism in anorexia nervosa (AN) restricting (RAN), purging (PAN), and binge eating with or without (BAN) subtypes. Method: The EATATE, a retrospective assessment of perfectionism, the disorder inventory (EDI‐2) were administered to 728 AN participants. Results: EATATE responses revealed general 22.3% 333 RAN, 29.2% 220 PAN, 24.8% 116 BAN; school work 31.2% 30.4% order symmetry, 18.7% 21.7% 17.8% global rigidity, 42.6% 48.3% PAN 48.1% BAN....
Abstract Background Research and clinical practice rely heavily on caregiver‐report measures, such as the Child Behavior Checklist 1.5–5 (CBCL/1.5‐5), to gather information about early childhood behavior problems screen for child psychopathology. While studies have shown that demographic variables influence caregiver ratings of problems, extent which CBCL/1.5‐5 functions equivalently at item level across diverse samples is unknown. Methods Item‐level data from a large sample young children (...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often complicated by depression and exemplifies the challenge in managing chronic illnesses that require active patient participation care. In a clinical trial (NCT00151372), we compared novel personalised intervention for COPD (PID-C) targeting treatment adherence with as usual (TAU). 138 patients major severe COPD, PID-C led to higher remission rate greater reduction depressive symptoms dyspnoea-related disability than TAU over 28 weeks 6...
Youth living with HIV (YLH) aged 13 to 24 years made up over a fifth (21%) of new diagnoses in 2016, yet only 27% YLH are virally suppressed. have been shown be poorly adherent antiretroviral therapy (ART); however, there has limited research investigating how increase adherence YLH. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions may one promising way do this.
Non‐inferiority trials are becoming increasingly popular for comparative effectiveness research. However, inclusion of the placebo arm, whenever possible, gives rise to a three‐arm trial which has lesser burdensome assumptions than standard two‐arm non‐inferiority trial. Most past developments in consider defining pre‐specified fraction unknown effect size reference drug, that is, without directly specifying fixed margin. some recent developments, more direct approach is being considered...
Increasingly, workers in the service, welfare, and health care sectors suffer adverse effects (ie, depression, burnout, etc) of "low-energy syndromes." Less is known about energy-based outcomes among knowledge workers. This study aimed to identify determinants self-rated energy examine how these change over time.In collaboration with a large union employer federation, 317 Sweden responded productivity survey three times.At each assessment, worry, satisfaction eating habits,...
