BACKGROUND:Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are a global challenge.China, once said to have eradicated STIs, is now facing a rapid rise in the prevalence of HIV/STIs.This review of reviews aims to map HIV/STI risk factors among the Chinese population, with the objective of identifying risk factors to inform the formulation of effective preven
Time-Varying Light Exposure in Chronobiology and Sleep Research Experiments
Light exposure profoundly affects human physiology and behavior through circadian and neuroendocrine photoreception primarily through the melanopsin-containing intrinsically photosensitive retinal Kratom ganglion cells.Recent research has explored the possibility of using temporally patterned stimuli to manipulate circadian and neuroendocrine respo
Relationship between anxiety and internet searches before percutaneous ultrasound-guided diagnostic procedures: A prospective cohort study.
Invasive procedures guided by ultrasound (US) are part of routine medical diagnostic investigation.The lack of knowledge surrounding the technical aspects of such procedures can lead patients to seek Yoga wear complementary information on the Internet, which may in turn trigger anxiety.However, the intersection between the fields of Radiology and P
Effects of Gainsharing Provisions on the Selection of a Discount Rate for a Defined Benefit Pension Plan
This paper examines the effect of gainsharing provisions on the selection of a discount rate for a defined benefit pension plan.The paper uses a traditional actuarial approach of discounting liabilities using the expected return of the associated pension fund.A stochastic Excel model was developed to simulate the effect of varying investment return
Role of Small Molecule Targeted Compounds in Cancer: Progress, Opportunities, and Challenges
Research on molecular NB@5 targeted therapy of tumors is booming, and novel targeted therapy drugs are constantly emerging.Small molecule targeted compounds, novel targeted therapy drugs, can be administered orally as tablets among other methods, and do not draw upon genes, causing no immune response.It is easily structurally modified to make it mo
