Additional tests of statistical significance at 0.05 level in form of deviance tests of nested multivariate models were conducted. Nullmodels that included covariates only were first compared to models including AQ (first comparison), and this model was compared to an additional model containing TAS ...
to cap-independent translation allows cells to synthesize proteins necessary for their adaptation to stress and survival. The level of eIF4E available to form eIF4F complex determines whether mRNA will be initiated via the cap- or IRES-dependent mechanism. Sequestration of eIF4E from the eIF4F com...
The median age of the subjects was 68 years (range, 43–86 years). Eight patients received postoperative nutritional support primarily by enteral nutrition (EN group), and 9 patients received postoperative nutritional support in the form of enteral feeding combined with parenteral nutrition (EN + ...
First, end-of-life care is a global concern, yet little research has been generated outside the North American setting. Second, most of the studies in the review focused on hospital care; few examined the full spectrum of treatments received at life’s end including medications, palliative ...
Namely, one could employ NetKO to generate hypothesis in the form of MCS on a given pathway model and test such hypotheses against genotype-phenotype data. Elucidating systems-level roles of reactions in metabolism MCS discovered using our approach cluster into subnetworks that link individual ...
MALNUTRITION among hospitalized patients has been associated with increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stay, and increased costs to the health care system.1,2 Several studies have documented that "bowel rest" is associated with a disruption of the mucosal barrier structure and function, augmenting th...

Due to the growing gap between the demand and supply of therapeutic services for people suffering from depression, with this study, we are investigating the effectiveness and factors of influence of new approaches in group treatments for depression. Two previous studies have already identified boulderin...
However, primary dementia care suffers from a number of shortcomings: Often, diagnoses are made too late and therapies by GPs do not follow the guidelines. In cases of acute crises, PwD are too often admitted to hospital with adverse effects on the further course of the disease. The aim of...
Nearly all patients with MDD suffer from mild to very severe impairment in several domains of life like physical and social activities, or occupational responsibilities [3]. MDD produces substantial costs through hospital admissions, outpatient care and productivity loss as a result of depression-...
