Non-dermatophyte molds included A.flavus 17, A.niger 4, Aspergillus spp. 15, Penicillium. 10, Fusarium 6, Mucor 2, Stemphylium 1, and Alternaria 1.

This study provides useful data for the study trends of superficial and cutaneous fungal infections in a specific area. The mycological data confirmed higher incidence of candidiasis (mainly onychomycosis) and dermatophytosis in patients affected by fungal pathogens, which helped to better understand the epidemiological aspects of these mycoses.

Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) is used for the treatment of benign cystic thyroid nodules. Tanespimycin This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to obtain strong evidence of its long-term efficacy and safety.

PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched until November 2020 for studies reporting data on volume reduction rate (VRR), compressive symptoms and cosmetic concerns. Associated complications were assessed. A random-effects model was designed to pool the data.

Out of 385 papers, nine studies evaluating 1667 nodules were finally included. Overall, VRR at 6, 12, 24, 36, 60 and 120months was 77%, 81%, 72%, 68%, 74% and 69%, respectively. Significant reductions in the compressive symptoms and cosmetic concerns were observed. No permanent complications were observed.

The present meta-analysis showed that PEI could significantly reduce the volume of benign cystic thyroid nodules. This reduction was already effective at 6months post-treatment, and the effect was stable over time.

Lead alters most of the physiological processes via enhancing oxidative stress. Thus, this study was purposed to assess the influence of turmeric (TMRC) and/or vitamin C (VIT-C) on Lead diacetate (Lead diAC)-induced testicular atrophy with an emphasis on oxidative stress, inflammation, BAX/STAR and GRP-78/17β-HSD signalling. Rats were injected with Lead diAC and then treated with TMRC and/or VIT-C orally for 1 week. Lead diAC decreased serum testosterone and testicular glutathione levels. It also decreased superoxide dismutase activity. On the contrary, levels of malondialdehyde, tumour necrosis factor-α, IL-1β and caspase-3 were increased. mRNA levels and protein expressions of GRP-78 and BAX were upregulated, while the expression of both steroidogenic acute regulatory protein and 17β-HSD were downregulated. DNA fragmentation was increased as well. These changes were further confirmed by histopathological findings. Supplementation with TMRC and/or VIT-C ameliorated all of the above parameters. In Conclusion TMRC or VIT-C specially in combination group prevents Lead diAC testicular damage via reduction of oxidative injury as well as inflammation, downregulation of GRP-78/BAX and upregulation of 17β-HSD and STAR expression as well as improvement in the histological architecture of the testis.

To determine the challenges perceived by final-year nursing students in the clinical learning environment.

Data-based convergent mixed-method systematic review.

Three electronic databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) will be used in the identification stage. The first search will use the search string for each database to identify relevant studies. The articles retrieved will be screened by year of publication, article type and language. Abstracts and full-text of selected studies will be screened for eligibility independently by a minimum of two reviewers. The reference lists will be manually screened to identify additional publications. The quality assessment will be conducted by two reviewers using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tools. Quantitative and mixed-method studies will be transformed into qualitative. A thematic approach will be used to synthesize and report the data. Ethics approval and funding have been approved in April 2020.

This study will synthesize the types of challenges perceived by final-year undergraduate nursing students in different clinical learning environments across the country.

The proposed study findings will help nursing education stakeholders and faculty provide assistance to final-year nursing students in their transition year to become registered nurses.

The purpose of this concept analysis is to define and analyse the concept of unplanned readmission to hospital for older persons.

Review the literature and analyse the concept of unplanned readmission.

Guided by Walker and Avant's eight-stage method of concept analysis, four databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL, and Embase) were searched between 1946 and 2020 for empirical studies focused on older persons with multiple chronic conditions, experiences or perspectives and unplanned readmission. A total of 34 articles (10 quantitative, 17 qualitative, three mixed methods), one concept analysis and three historical articles were included.

An unplanned readmission is an experience, process and event. The proposed definition of unplanned readmission is an older person's need for acute care treatment for an urgent or emergent health crisis that has occurred after a previous hospitalization(s). Unplanned readmission is characterized by the attributes of older persons' previous hospitalization(s), the urgenequence of discharge readiness. Analysing this concept supports the need for older persons to seek unplanned readmission for acute care treatment of urgent and emergent health crisis, reduces the blame that older persons may feel from questions related to preventability, and stresses the need to include older persons' experiences in the development and expansion of nursing theory, interventions and current understandings of unplanned readmission.

Individuals with a gastrointestinal (GI) disorder often alter their diet to manage GI symptoms, adding complexity to understanding the diverse motivations contributing to food avoidance/restriction. When a GI disorder is present, the DSM-5 states that Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) can be diagnosed only when eating disturbance exceeds that expected. There is limited guidance to make this determination. This study attempts to address this gap by characterizing the presentation of ARFID in adults with and without a self-reported GI disorder.

Participants were 2,610 adults ages 18-44 who self-identified as "picky eaters." Participants reported on motivations for food avoidance, affective experiences towards food, and perceived impairment. Responses were compared across four groups GI issues and likely ARFID (L-ARFID/GI), L-ARFID-only, GI-only, and No-ARFID/No-GI.

Groups with a GI disorder (L-ARFID/GI, GI-only) reported more fear of aversive consequences of eating than those without a GI findings emphasize the need to consider an ARFID diagnosis in patients with GI disorders to optimize care.Bulk and single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data are being used as alternatives to traditional technology in biology and medicine research. These data are used, for example, for the detection of differentially expressed (DE) genes. Several statistical methods have been developed for the classification of bulk and single-cell RNA-seq data. These feature genes are vitally important for the classification of bulk and single-cell RNA-seq data. The majority of genes are not DE and they are thus irrelevant for class distinction. To improve the classification performance and save the computation time, removal of irrelevant genes is necessary. Removal will aid the detection of the important feature genes. Widely used schemes in the literature, such as the BSS/WSS (BW) method, assume that data are normally distributed and may not be suitable for bulk and single-cell RNA-seq data. In this article, a category encoding (CAEN) method is proposed to select feature genes for bulk and single-cell RNA-seq data classification. This novel method encodes categories by employing the rank of sequence samples for each gene in each class. Correlation coefficients are considered for gene and class with the rank of sample and a new rank of category. The highest gene correlation coefficients are considered feature genes, which are the most effective for classifying bulk and single-cell RNA-seq dataset. The sure screening method was also established for rank consistency properties of the proposed CAEN method. Simulation studies show that the classifier using the proposed CAEN method performs better than, or at least as well as, the existing methods in most settings. Existing real datasets were analyzed, with the results demonstrating superior performance of the proposed method over current competitors. The application has been coded into an R package named "CAEN" to facilitate wide use.We improved the three-dimensional spatial resolution of laser scanning transmission microscopy by exploiting the saturated absorption of dye molecules. The saturated absorption is induced by the high-intensity light irradiation and localises the signal within the centre of the focal spot. Our numerical calculation indicates that the spatial resolution in transmission imaging is significantly improved for both lateral and axial directions using nonlinear transmitted signals induced by saturated absorption. We experimentally demonstrated the improvement of the three-dimensional resolution by observing fine structures of stained rat kidney tissues, which were not able to be visualised by conventional laser scanning transmission microscopy.This study examined differences in sociodemographic characteristics and the achievement of a good death between cancer patients who live alone and those who do not live alone prior to death in different settings. Secondary analysis of data collected across two cross-sectional self-reported questionnaire surveys was undertaken. The participants were bereaved family members of cancer patients who had died in palliative care units (PCUs), acute hospitals or homes. We stratified the data by the place of death and examined the differences in sociodemographic characteristics to determine the relationship between cancer patients achieving a "good death" and whether they were living alone. The data were collected through 15,949 surveys. On the Good Death Inventory, significantly higher total scores emerged for cancer patients who were living alone than for those who not living alone in PCUs (effect size [ES] = 0.11, Student's t-test p less then .0001), but not in acute hospitals (ES = -0.03, p = 0.74) or home care services (ES = 0.
