Additionally, we did not investigate the mental and emotional state of the individuals, which has been recognized in previous research as an influential factor affecting high levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS) and HbA1c. Furthermore, the role of genetic factors, which are also significant, was...
To ensure confidentiality, name and other identifiers of patients and health care professionals were not recorded on the data collection tools. The study was registered researchregistry.com with a unique reference number of “researchregistry5237”. 2.8. Operational definitions 2.8.1. Diabetic Foot ...
It is well-known to minimize the error term of endogenous latent variables and maximize the explanatory power (R-square) in estimating path coefficients. It is more suitable for developing theory or conducting exploratory research focusing on predicting or explaining latent variables rather than ...
Other positive factors identified by the survey related to the influence of mentors and role models, long-term aspirations, and research. Age, private practice experience, and military experience were found to particularly influence the new faculty members' responses to items concerning income and ...
and academic performance challenges in childhood and adulthood [5,6]. In addition to the immediate health consequences, low birth weight can also have long-term effects on a child’s cognitive and physical development. Children born with low birth weight may experience delays in speech, language,...

and weak in spring and autumn. The simulation results also show that extreme weather has a significant effect on the temperature and salinity structure in the study area in a short term, which is manifested as the decrease of sea surface temperature, the increase of mixed layer depth, and the...
Clinical risk factors for SI/SA included in our analysis were selected through predictive modeling in prior research4, which consisted of a combination of long-, mid-, and short-term diagnoses (i.e., anxiety disorders, depression, alcohol use disorders, drug use disorders, eating disorders, per...
It reflected the contribution of an indicator to other constructs; hence the term “cross” and cross-loadings should be greater than factor loadings (Fornell and Larcker, 1981). The factor loadings and cross-loading values for the indicators are shown in Table 6....
Currently, some scholars propose that long-term hypoperfusion leads to the white matter disorder, which may lead to cognitive impairment[33]. Other studies have shown that hypoperfusion may lead to decreased neuronal activity, abnormal brain connections, and hence, to cognitive dysfunction[34]. In ...
