INTRODUCTION: Positive and negative treatment expectations are powerful modulators of health and treatment outcomes. A substantial part of treatment success is due to contextual factors modulating patient's expectations towards a treatment. Consequently, treatment expectations should be a target of therapeutic interventions themselves. OBJECTIVES: This article highlights the neurobiological underpinnings of treatment expectations as well as strategies to modulate contextual factors to optimize treatment outcomes in daily clinical settings...

Introduction Elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) hampers the effective functioning of intra- and extra-abdominal organs. Despite the abundance of knowledge, routine measurement of IAP still needs to be widely incorporated in managing at-risk patients. The present study intends to assess the need for IAP measurement on abdominal wound healing in emergency laparotomy patients. Methods This prospective study was carried out over 24 months in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. The IAP was measured at admission, immediately after surgery, and during the early postoperative period at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours...

The ferret (Mustela putorius furo) is a small domesticated species of the family Mustelidae within the order Carnivora. The present article reviews and discusses the current state of knowledge about housing, care, breeding, and biomedical uses of ferrets. The management and breeding procedures of ferrets resemble those used for other carnivores. Understanding its behavior helps in the use of environmental enrichment and social housing, which promote behaviors typical of the species. Ferrets have been used in research since the beginning of the twentieth century...

BACKGROUND: Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have an incurable disease. Along with prolonging life, symptom management is one of the main goals with treatment. This is also important from a palliative care perspective where the life prolonging outcomes should be balanced with quality of life (QoL) in this late phase. It is also essential in symptom management to view different dimensions of symptoms, for example how severe or distressing symptoms are, to support best QoL...

Transcriptome-wide survey divulged a total of 181 ABC transporters in G. glabra which were phylogenetically classified into six subfamilies. Protein-Protein interactions revealed nine putative GgABCBs (-B6, -B14, -B15, -B25, -B26, -B31, -B40, -B42 &-B44) corresponding to five AtABCs orthologs (-B1, -B4, -B11, -B19, &-B21). Significant transcript accumulation of ABCB6 (31.8 folds), -B14 (147.5 folds), -B15 (17 folds), -B25 (19.7 folds), -B26 (18.31 folds), -B31 (61.89 folds), -B40 (1273 folds) and -B42 (51 folds) was observed under the influence of auxin...

Knowledge of detailed reproductive biology of cultivated species is important as requirements for fruit and seed production allow the development of effective management strategies and a sustainable use. Embryological processes of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) are difficult to interpret due to the influence of genetic determinants, i.e., dimorphic heterostyly resulting in the production of long- and short-styled flowers, and environmental predisposition, i.e., sensitivity of ovules to thermal stress...

High-repetition-rate optical frequency combs are useful for precision spectroscopy because of their high power per comb mode, but conventional high-repetition-rate lasers do not have a broad enough spectrum. In this study, a fully stabilized polarization-maintaining figure-9 mode-locked fiber laser with a high repetition rate of 206 MHz and a broad spectrum was demonstrated by employing simultaneous control of cavity dispersion and length. The laser exhibited a 3 dB spectral bandwidth of 88 nm and a compressed pulse width of 66 fs...
