Implementation of digital health technologies has grown rapidly, but many remain limited to pilot studies due challenges, such as a lack evidence or barriers implementation. Overcoming these challenges requires learning from previous implementations and systematically documenting implementation processes better understand the real-world impact technology identify effective strategies for future
We examined the advantages and disadvantages of implementing a junk food tax as an intervention to counter increasing obesity in North America. Small excise taxes are likely yield substantial revenue but unlikely affect rates. High have direct impact on weight at-risk populations less be politically palatable or sustainable. Ultimately, effectiveness earmarked health programs subsidies is key determinant success fight against obesity.
Abstract Healthy diets have been demonstrated to complement benefits of physical activity, condition and mental wellbeing, all them being important factors influencing the quality life elderly. Unfortunately malnutrition is a serious threat an increasingly prevalent among fast-growing elderly population. The present work addresses identification contributing decreased appetite food intake as well development approaches towards healthy diet personalised nutrition in Within study...
While the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) is high among children in Western Cape South Africa, psychosocial implications treatment for with MDR-TB remain poorly understood. We sought to explore how and its impact on an individual, familial, social level.Semi-structured interviews were conducted 20 caregivers purposively sampled from a prospective clinical cohort children. The sample was stratified by age at start (children >10 years, 5-10 years). Caregiver proxy...
Resource-rich countries are facing the challenge of aging societies, a high risk dependence, and cost care. Researchers attempted to address these issues by using cost-efficient, innovative technology promote healthy regain functionality. After an injury, efficient rehabilitation is crucial returning home prevent institutionalization. However, there often lack motivation carry out physical therapies. Consequently, growing interest in testing new approaches like gamified achieve functional...
The heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G (hnRNP G) controls the alternative splicing of several pre-mRNAs. While hnRNP displays an amino terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM), we find that this is paradoxically not implicated in recruitment to nascent transcripts amphibian oocytes. In fact, a deletion analysis revealed targeting active transcription units depends on another domain, centrally positioned, and consisting residues 186-236. We show domain acts autonomously thus named NTD for...
Sox9 is a member of the gene family SOX transcription factors, which highly conserved among vertebrates. It involved in different developmental processes including gonadogenesis. In all amniote species examined thus far, expressed Sertoli cells male gonad, suggesting an evolutionarily role testis development. However, anamniotes, fishes and amphibians, it also oocyte but significance such expression remains to be elucidated. Here, we have investigated nuclear localization SOX9 protein three...
Objective: to measure the effect of training with a virtual patient (VP) simulation system on clinical skills healthcare professionals in Africa.
Abstract Traditional physiotherapy is often perceived as repetitive and boring by patients, leading to issues in maintaining their interest performing the required exercises. This paper investigates older patients’ engagement motivation for physical activity using a serious game-based rehabilitation compared control group standard care therapy, during hospitalization. We conducted randomized clinical trial with 57 geriatric patients demonstrated that was efficient program terms of improving...
Abstract Beyond the study of its transcriptional target genes, identification various interactors a transcription factor (TF) is crucial to understand diverse cellular roles. We focused on FOXL2, winged‐helix forkhead TF important for ovarian development and maintenance. FOXL2 has been implicated in processes, including apoptosis, control cell cycle or regulation steroid hormone synthesis. To reliably identify partners endogenous we performed proteome‐wide analysis using...
The amphibian Xenopus tropicalis, whose genome has been recently sequenced, become an important model organism for vertebrate developmental genetics. development of cytogenetic tools in this new should contribute to understanding the organization and mapping a variety loci interest. In respect, oocyte lampbrush chromosomes are particularly useful localization genomic sequences expressed during oogenesis. We have constructed working map X. tropicalis chromosomes, which allows 10 bivalents...
