It is important to distinguish the contribution of oxidative stress, stressful acoustic trauma, or mental stress, which has not yet been considered adequately. All forms of stressful events may eventually accumulate to an imbalance within the HPA axis, leading to differential acti...
Mattering is the feeling of being important to others in ways that give people the sense that they are valued and other people care about them. We contrast this feeling with messages of not mattering and being expendable and disposable due to ageism, gaps in the provision of care, and ...

Finally, an RCT may not yield a meaningful contribution to knowledge. The strength of an RCT is its ability to estimate the magnitude of the treatment effect under controlled conditions. But where much depends on the nature of participants and circumstances, we seek evidence of what works, for...
This is governed by the pre-adsorption of plasma proteins, in particular human plasma fibrinogen (HPF) [3], [4], [5]. Many studies demonstrate that not the amount of HPF, but conformational changes upon adsorption on the biomaterial surface determine the exposure of specific recognition sites ...

at least part of the increase in absence detected is due to weaker attendance motivation after downsizing rather than reduced health. This does not, however, imply that employees on sick leave are not necessarily ill, but rather that their probability of attending work despite illness is reduced....
Finally, DXA data resulted to predict the presence of muscle weakness but not mortality [35]. Despite these limitations, as suggested by EWGSOP, DXA is useful in clinical practice to confirm sarcopenia when there is a clinical suspicion and other reasons for low muscle strength have been ...
