Abstract Objectives Transitional Care Nurse (TCN) care has been associated with decreased hospitalizations for older adults in the emergency department (ED). The objective of this study is to evaluate the association between TCN care and readmission for geriatric patients who visit the ED within 30 days of a prior hospital discharge. Methods We studied a prospective cohort of ED patients aged 65 and older with an ED visit within 30 days of inpatient discharge. Patients with an Emergency...
Abstract There are many online resources that focus on chemical diversity of natural compounds, but only handful of resources exist that focus solely on flavonoid compounds and integrate structural and functional properties; however, extensive collated flavonoid literature is still unavailable to scientific community. Here we present an open access database ‘FlavoDb’ that is focused on providing physicochemical properties as well as topological descriptors that can be effectively...

HallAbstractThe importance of temperature data in minimum postmortem interval (minPMI) estimations in criminal investigations is well-known. To maximise the accuracy of minPMI estimations, it is imperative to investigate the different components involved in temperature modelling, such as the duration of temperature data logger placement...
Abstract The stigmatization towards mental illness has significant effects on the quality of life both for the people with a psychiatric disorder and their families. The aim of this study was to translate the Attribution Questionnaire-27(AQ-27) to the Turkish language, and to evaluate the reliability and validity of new Turkish version on a multi-centered selected adult sample. Cultural adaptation was implemented according to the internationally suggested method. The Turkish...
Abstract The aim of this study is to increase the understanding of Quality of Life (QoL) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and explore the personal features of living with the disease. Sixty-two RA patients (MAge = 56.7; SD = 11.2; female = 83.9%) were interviewed. Assessment included topics on medical condition, functional status (HAQ-DI), and on their perceived difficulties and worries in having RA. Patients’ overall definition of QoL was also inquired. Most patients lived...
Abstract People living with HIV (PLHIV) face specific issues regarding mental quality of life (QoL), in particular self-esteem. The objective of this study was to measure self-esteem and to identify associated factors among PLHIV in Morocco. A 125-item questionnaire was administered to 300 PLHIV. The dependent variable was adapted from Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale (range 0–4). A weighted multiple linear regression was performed. The mean level of self-esteem was 2.4 ± 1.0. The...
Abstract This study explored patterns of clinical need among homeless individuals with dual diagnoses, and explored whether certain profiles are characteristic of different demographic groups. Data were drawn from two larger studies conducted with dually diagnosed, homeless individuals (n = 373). Hierarchical cluster analysis identified four subgroups: (1) Clinically least severe, characterized by less frequent psychological symptoms and no history of physical or sexual abuse;...

Abstract We describe a naturally occurring, real-world comparison of outcomes following 6 months in standalone DBT skills training group for adults with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) without recent suicidal or severe self-harming behaviours and standard (i.e. all modes) DBT for BPD including patients with recent high-risk behaviours. 34 patients chose standalone skills over waiting for standard DBT and 54 were offered standard DBT. Dropout was higher for standalone skills...
Abstract In this paper, we describe the case of a 29-year-old Caucasian male who was reported dead in his home. In 2010, a diagnosis of acrogeria, Gottron type was obtained by genetic analysis of a COL3A1 gene mutation. External examination showed typical characteristics of acrogeria, Gottron type. Autopsy showed a full-thickness laceration in the inferior vena cava wall, which caused hemorrhage and death. Samples of inferior vena cava were processed by Masson trichrome staining,...

Abstract The application of plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacterium in agriculture is expanding rapidly in recent years. With the development of microbial technology, new bacterial species effective in promoting plant growth have been identified. In this study, a PGP bacterium was isolated from marine sediments of the Yellow Sea in China. The confrontation culture test and pot experiments showed that strain YH-07T inhibited the growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (a...
