Research in the field of human–robot interactions (HRIs) has advanced significantly in recent years. Social humanoid robots have undergone severe testing and have been implemented in a variety of settings, for example, in educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and senior care centers. Humanoid robots have also been assessed across different population groups. However, research on various ...

Sammendrag Bakgrunn: Ifølge nasjonale faglige retningslinjer for helsestasjonstjenesten, skal helsesykepleier blant annet bidra til å forebygge vold. Helsesykepleier skal gi foreldrene råd, undervisning og veiledning tilpasset foreldrenes kunnskap og behov, for å håndtere utfordrende situasjoner med barnet. Språkbarriere kan utfordre dialogen med fremmedspråklige foreldre. Siden 2018 har samtaleverktøyet ...

Background: Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Programme for the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans has been criticized for several of its evaluations, and also for the approach used to perform these evaluations. Some critics have claimed that failures of IARC Working Groups to recognize study weaknesses and biases of Working Group members have led to inappropriate ...

Intratumoral formation of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) within the tumor microenvironment is considered to be a consequence of antigen challenge during anti-tumor responses. Intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) has been implicated in a variety of immune and inflammatory responses, in addition to associate with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). In this study, we detected TLS in the ...

A 94-kb integrative conjugative element (ICESluvan) transferable to Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis from an animal isolate of Streptococcus lutetiensis consists of a mosaic of genetic fragments from different Gram-positive bacteria. A variant of ICESluvan was confirmed in S. lutetiensis from a patient. A complete Tn5382/Tn1549 with a vanB2 operon is integrated into a streptococcal ...

Nurses and physicians work side-by-side in the intensive care unit (ICU). Effective exchanges of patient information are essential to safe patient care in the ICU. Nurses often rate nursephysician communication lower than physicians and report that it is difficult to speak up, that disagreements are not resolved and that their input is not well received.<p> <p>Therefore, this study explored ...

Miniature inverted repeat transposable elements (MITEs) have been identified flanking class 1 integrons. We have identified and characterized a 439-bp MITE-like structure in seven Acinetobacter species isolates from Portugal and Brazil. The complete sequence similarity of the elements and flanking regions suggests that MITEs may act as mobilizable vectors for the dissemination of integrons.

<i>Background</i> - Clinical studies have reported overexpression of PDE5 and elevation of intracellular cyclic GMP in various types of cancer cells. ABCC5 transports cGMP out of the cells with high affinity. PDE5 inhibitors prevent both cellular metabolism and cGMP efflux by inhibiting ABCC5 as well as PDE5. Increasing intracellular cGMP is hypothesized to promote apoptosis and growth restriction ...

The main goal of this work was to describe the prevalence of adventitious lung sounds (wheezes and crackles) in a general population. We obtained lung sound recordings from 4033 participants in the 7th survey of the Tromsø. We observed a crude prevalence of adventitious lung sounds in 28% of the participants; 18 % had wheezes, 13% had crackles. Age, female sex, self-reported asthma, and current ...
