Background: Mavacamten, an orally administered, small-molecule modulator of cardiac myosin, targets underlying biomechanical abnormalities in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). Objective: To characterize the effect mavacamten on left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient. Design: Open-label, nonrandomized, phase 2 trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02842242) Setting: 5 academic centers. Participants: 21 symptomatic patients with oHCM. Intervention: Patients cohort A received...
We aimed to study the prevalence of refractive conditions in Singapore teenagers. Grade 9 and 10 students (n = 946) aged 15-19 years from two secondary schools were recruited. The errors students' eyes measured using non-cycloplegic autorefraction. Sociodemographic data information on risk factors for myopia (such as reading writing) also obtained an interviewer-administered questionnaire. was found be: [spherical equivalent (SE) at least -0.50 D] - 73.9%, hyperopia (SE +0.50 D) 1.5%,...
The purpose of this study is to examine the faculty perceptions instructional support in relation members' motivation, commitment, and satisfaction associated with distance teaching. Findings indicated that motivation commitment toward teaching were strong general. However, higher institutions well‐provided support.
In efforts to increase the field and society's understanding of bullying, authors investigated how various forms attachment (mother, peer, school) are directly indirectly related bullying behavior through empathy, whether these relationships moderated by gender. Adolescents, grades 7 9, from one middle school in Seoul were surveyed. Using structural equation modeling, study identified significant gender differences direct indirect effects on behavior. For male students, greater was less...
research on the role of positive affect, such as happiness, health outcomes is burgeoning. Within this context, evidence for an inverse effect happiness mortality inconclusive. Furthermore, few studies link with among older people, and in Asian populations. We examine association between all-cause people Singapore.data 4,478 Singaporeans aged ≥60 years enrolled a nationally-representative longitudinal survey (three waves: 2009; 2011; 2015) were utilised. Happiness, at baseline, 2009, was...

Abstract Background Interferon-gamma (IFNγ) exerts potent growth inhibitory effects on a wide range of cancer cells through unknown signaling pathways. We pursued complementary screening approaches to characterize the inhibition pathway. Methods performed chemical genomics and whole genome targeting CRISPR/Cas9 screens using patient-derived melanoma lines uncover essential nodes in IFNγ-mediated used transcriptomic profiling identify cell death pathways activated upon IFNγ exposure. Live...
<i>Background/Aims:</i> Previous work combining the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in Elderly (IQCODE) has been conducted western populations. We ascertained, an Asian population, (1) best method of tests, (2) effects educational level, (3) effect different dementia etiologies. <i>Methods:</i> Data from 576 patients were analyzed (407 nondemented controls, 87 Alzheimer’s disease 82 vascular dementiapatients)....
Abstract Background On November 25, 2021, the IFSO-Asia–Pacific Chapter (IFSO-APC) Virtual Meeting 2021 was held online, and representatives from Asia–Pacific region presented 10 years of change in bariatric/metabolic surgery influence COVID-19 special session “IFSO-APC National Reports 2010–2020”. We herein report summarized data. Methods data, which included data 2010 2020, were collected using a questionnaire that consisted general questions. At congress, calculated summarized. Results...
The main mathematical result in this paper is that change of variables the ordinary differential equation (ODE) for competition two infections a Susceptible–Infected–Removed (SIR) model shows fraction cases due to new variant satisfies logistic equation, which models selective sweeps. Fitting data from Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) correctly predicts rapid turnover one dominant another. In addition, our fitting gives sensible estimates increase infectivity. These...
Background Routine monitoring of trends in transfusion‐transmissible infections ( TTIs ) is essential to maintaining and improving transfusion safety. Although periodic studies have been published there no comprehensive trend analysis for Australian donors. This study determined recent which testing conducted A ustralia described key attributes infected blood Study Design Methods a retrospective using data on donation (2005‐2010) from the national service donor database postdonation...
Abstract Objectives Loneliness at older ages is a significant public health concern, and promoting participation in neighborhood events activities may be possible avenue for alleviating loneliness among adults. However, there remains scarcity of empirical research this field. Addressing knowledge gap, our study examined the association between frequency by adults their subsequent feelings two years later, nationally representative longitudinal cohort community-dwelling Singapore citizens...
Background/Objectives: Symptomatic intravertebral vacuum cleft (SIVC) is a complication of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) that leads to persistent pain and deformity. Its prediction remains challenging due multifactorial causes. Paraspinal muscle fat infiltration has been associated with spinal fracture outcomes but not extensively explored in SIVC prediction. To develop machine learning (ML) models for predicting evaluate the role muscle-related variables improving predictive...
Previous studies on mental health and quality of life have revealed that religiosity/spirituality was positively associated with indicators well-being personality factors. However, limited research has examined the relationship between spiritual well-being, subfactors factor Neuroticism (i.e., anxiety, hostility, depression, self-consciousness, impulsiveness, vulnerability), subjective in a non-Western sample. The present findings five neuroticism did not an equally negative or positive...
Background: Although outbreaks involving Streptococcus pyogenes have been uncommon among the elderly population, recent reports suggest that this organism is an important nosocomial pathogen institutionalized older patients and carries significant morbidity mortality. An outbreak of S. pyogenes, type M12, T12, occurred in a large long-term care institution serving ill chronically disabled. The involved 14 residents intermediate facility lasted for 4 months. Methods: A prospective...
The authors investigate whether there were significant differences in preferences for, familiarity with, and identification of Chinese, Malay, Indian music between adolescent students from Singapore ( n = 78) the United Kingdom 53). Also explored are relationships among these three variables. Students asked to rate their preference for with excerpts on 7-point Likert-type scales name each musical style. Singaporean girls showed greater Chinese Malay styles than did Kingdom. Both groups rated...
