The cell-associated form of ACE2 is required for SARS-CoV virus entry into target cells [26]. ACE2 is cleared from the cells by the metalloproteases ADAM10 and ADAM17 [26, 27]. Some reports indicate that circulating levels of ACE2 are higher in healthy and diabetic men as well as in ...

In addition to physical interaction, HRH systems support non-physical interaction (e.g., audiovisual interaction), which can lead to improved motivation and task performance [17,18,19]. For example, an arm exoskeleton can measure the joint angles of the human arm and estimate the hand’s pos...

We used a pilot-tested template in the form of Excel spreadsheets to record the extracted information. This template included fields for “title”, “author(s)”, “publication year”, “study location”, “study design”, “study aim”, “data source”, “data collected year”, and “main...
Informed consent for students to participate in the online research was provided through the questionnaires, while nursing faculty members who met the eligibility criteria for the study received an informed consent form attached to the email questionnaire.

Of the parametric functional forms that can be used to model the healthcare services production, the traditional Cobb-Douglas and the transcendental logarithmic (translog) forms are the most popular [33]. We assumed a translog form for its flexibility and for exhibiting several interesting benefits:...
For instance, given differences in scopes of work and levels of care provided, should some form of weighting be used in calculating workforce-population ratios to account for such differences [39]? Moreover, density figures alone do not necessarily take into account all of a health system's ...
