Prolonged standing at work may contribute to increased risk of musculoskeletal pain in home care workers. Patients’ activities of daily living (ADL) score may be a proxy for home care workers’ standing time at work. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between patients’ ADL self-care score, and workers standing time.

The index composed of preoperative lymphocytes, albumin, and neutrophils (LANR), a new composite score based on inflammatory response and nutritional status, has been reported to be associated with the prognosis of multiple types of cancer, but the role of LANR in the prognosis of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has not yet been elucidated.

Crohn’s disease (CD) patients demonstrate distinct intestinal microbial compositions and metabolic characteristics compared to unafected controls. However, the impact of inflammation and underlying genetic risk on these microbial profiles and their relationship to disease phenotype are unclear. We used lavage sampling to characterize the colonic mucosal-luminal interface (MLI) microbiome of CD patients in endoscopic remission and unafected controls relative to obesity, disease genetics, and phenotype

Tumor budding is associated with lymph node (LN) metastasis in submucosal colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the rate of LN metastasis associated with the number of tumor buds is unknown. Here, we determined the optimal tumor budding cut-of number and developed a composite scoring system (CSS) for estimating LN metastasis of submucosal CRC.

The present experiment was conducted to prepare soymilk from whole soya seed by using various techniques. Twelve (12) soymilk samples were prepared by three different methods with four concentration level. Each sample was analyzed for proximate composition and sensory qualities were evaluated by a taste panel.

This thesis contributes to the existing literature in the following ways: First, presenting a systematic study with empirical evidence on the functioning and quality of corporate governance and its impact under the contractual form of FMC. Second, this research represents a step forward from the extant studies focusing on how board characteristics and composition in fund companies by investigating a wider range of relevant governance mechanisms that affect board effectiveness which other studies have not attempted.

Response guided treatment in breast cancer is highly desirable, but the effectiveness is only estab‑ lished based on residual cellularity from histopathological analysis after surgery. Tubule formation, a key component of grading score, is directly associated with cellularity, with significant implications on prognosis.

Information-scores based on general inflammation markers are suggested as prognostic markers of overall survival (OS) in lung cancer. However, whether these inflammation-scores improves the prognostication per‑ formed by well-established prognostic markers is unsettled. In a large register-based lung cancer patient cohort, nine diferent inflammation-scores were compared, and their ability to optimize the prognostication of OS was evaluated.

In this study conducted in Erzurum province’s Oltu district Kırdağı location during 2015, 2016 and 2017 concerning the above forest, forest interior and forest edge rangeland sites, the botanical composition of rangeland sites, canopy coverage rate, rangeland condition scores, and comparison of the condition of rangeland and the health class were emphasized. According to the results, although the grass and legume rations in the forest edge rangeland was lower, the others families’ ratio was higher than that of the other sites.

High throughput sequencing technologies are able to identify the whole genomic variation of an individual. Gene-targeted and whole-exome experiments are mainly focused on coding sequence variants related to a single or multiple nucleotides. The analysis of the biological significance of this multitude of genomic variant is challenging and computational demanding.

Protein sequence alignments and database search methods use standard scoring matrices calculated from amino acid substitution frequencies in general sets of proteins. These general-purpose matrices are not optimal to align accurately sequences with marked compositional biases, such as hydrophobic transmembrane regions found in membrane proteins.

Gene set scoring provides a useful approach for quantifying concordance between sample transcriptomes and selected molecular signatures. Most methods use information from all samples to score an individual sample, leading to unstable scores in small data sets and introducing biases from sample composition (e.g. varying numbers of samples for different cancer subtypes).

Value added dried pumpkin cubes and slices were prepared using ripe pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch ex Poir). Prior to drying of pumpkin cubes and slices, different pretreatments (blanching, potassium metabisulphite (KMS) treatment, sulphur fumigation) were standardized and among them treatment involving steam blanching for 4 min + 1500 ppm KMS dip for 30 min was observed to be the best, retaining maximum nutritional characteristics and sensory scores.

Preliminary evidence suggests cancer- and chemotherapy-related autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction may contribute to the increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity- and mortality-risks in cancer survivors. However, the reliability of these findings may have been jeopardized by inconsistent participant screening and assessment methods.
