“…Each domain of Korean-style stress, based on the timing, type, life domain, and sociopsychological characteristics of stress exposure, showed a different distribution of lifetime psychiatric diagnosis probabilities (odds ratios = 1.20–4.85). Finally, the test–retest reliability for total lifetime stressor count and severity over four weeks was high. …”

Increased Fas and Bcl-2 Expression on Peripheral Blood T and B Lymphocytes from Juvenile-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, but not from Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Juvenile... by Bernadete L. Liphaus, Maria H. B. Kiss, Solange Carrasco, Claudia Goldenstein-Schainberg

“…In conclusion, increased expression of Fas and Bcl-2 proteins observed in circulating T and B lymphocytes from patients with JSLE, but not from patients with JRA and JDM, suggests that abnormalities of apoptosis may be related to the pathogenesis of JSLE and probably are not a result of chronic inflammation.…”

Downregulation of FXYD2 Is Associated with Poor Prognosis and Increased Regulatory T Cell Infiltration in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma by Zedan Zhang, Yanlin Tang, Lei Li, Wuping Yang, Yawei Xu, Jingcheng Zhou, Kaifang Ma, Kenan Zhang, Hongkai Zhuang, Yanqing Gong, Kan Gong

“…Downregulation of FXYD2 is associated with ccRCC tumorigenesis, poor prognosis, and increased Treg infiltration in ccRCC, which may be related to TGF-β-SMAD2/3, Notch, and PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathways. This will probably provide a novel prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for ccRCC.…”

Caregiver alignment with triage acuity levels and drivers for discrepancy between caregiver assessment and triage acuity levels: a cross-sectional questionnaire based study by Noelie Lengeler, Carl Alessandro Starvaggi, Manon Jaboyedoff, Sophie Affentranger, Kristina Keitel

“…Our study sheds light on the association between caregiver assessment and professional triage in two paediatric emergency departments in Switzerland, revealing some of the factors leading to discordance. These factors most probably reflect health illiteracy. It is important that healthcare professionals recognize and address factors influencing caregiver assessments to facilitate accurate decision-making and enhanced paediatric emergency care outcomes.…”
