INTRODUCTION: Data on colorectal cancer (CRC) patients' thorough management practices and medication-related harms (MRH) are scarce. This study's aim was to investigate the MRHs in patients receiving CRC chemotherapy at the comprehensive specialized hospital of the University of Gondar (UoGCSH). METHODS: A registry-based retrospective cohort study was conducted on CRC patients at the UoGCSH during 2017-2021. From February to May 2022, medical records were reviewed using a pretested data collection tool to collect socio-demographic and disease-related characteristics, MRHs, and medication regimens...

The stiffness and toughness of conventional hydrogels decrease with increasing degree of swelling. This behavior makes the stiffness-toughness compromise inherent to hydrogels even more limiting for fully swollen ones, especially for load-bearing applications. The stiffness-toughness compromise of hydrogels can be addressed by reinforcing them with hydrogel microparticles, microgels, which introduce the double network (DN) toughening effect into hydrogels. However, to what extent this toughening effect is maintained in fully swollen microgel-reinforced hydrogels (MRHs) is unknown...

Rapid advances in the biomedical field increasingly often demand soft materials that can be processed into complex 3D shapes while being able to reliably bear significant loads. Granular hydrogels have the potential to serve as artificial tissues because they can be 3D printed into complex 3D shapes and their composition can be tuned over short length scales. Unfortunately, granular hydrogels are typically soft such that they cannot be used for load-bearing applications. To address this shortcoming, individual microgels can be connected through a percolating network, such that they introduce the double network toughening mechanism into granular hydrogels...

Magneto-responsive hydrogels (MRHs) have attracted considerable attention in various applications owing to their smart response to an externally applied magnetic field. However, their practical uses in biomedical fields are limited by their weak mechanical properties and possible toxicity to the human body. In this study, tough, biocompatible, and magneto-responsive nanocomposite hydrogels (MR_NCHs) were developed by the in-situ free-radical polymerization of N, N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAAm) and laponite and Fe3 O4 nanoparticles...

AIM: Mental Health Recovery Star (MHRS) is an instrument that helps to assess recovery processes of mental health patients through a collaborative approach. The aim of the study is to describe the features of the instrument and to report the results of the Italian validation study. METHODS: The study involved 117 users which were evaluated in two phases. Besides MRHS, HoNOS, WHOQoL-brief, GAF were used. Acceptability for users and key-workers of the instruments and its main psychometric properties, as test-retes (ICC) and concurrent validity (Pearson's correlation coefficient), were evaluated...

Here we report for the first time the three-dimensional structure of a mannose 6-phosphate receptor homology (MRH) domain present in a protein with enzymatic activity, glucosidase II (GII). GII is involved in glycoprotein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum. GII removes the two innermost glucose residues from the Glc3Man9GlcNAc2 transferred to nascent proteins and the glucose added by UDP-Glc:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase. GII is composed of a catalytic GIIα subunit and a regulatory GIIβ subunit. GIIβ participates in the endoplasmic reticulum localization of GIIα and mediates in vivo enhancement of N-glycan trimming by GII through its C-terminal MRH domain...

Based on data drawn from the 2007 Madrid Regional Health Survey (MRHS), we sought to: estimate influenza vaccination coverage among people ages 16-59 years old suffering from chronic conditions (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, respiratory diseases, kidney diseases, malignant neoplasm and fibromyalgia) living in the region of Madrid and to determine which socio-demographic and health-related variables were associated with the likelihood of being vaccinated. We analyzed data from 8,337 subjects. The reply to the question "Were you vaccinated against influenza in the last vaccination campaign?" was taken as the dependent variable...

This paper presents Mixed Reality Humans (MRHs), a new type of embodied agent enabling touch-driven communication. Affording touch between human and agent allows MRHs to simulate interpersonal scenarios in which touch is crucial. Two studies provide initial evaluation of user behavior with a MRH patient and the usability and acceptability of a MRH patient for practice and evaluation of medical students' clinical skills. In Study I (n=8) it was observed that students treated MRHs as social actors more than students in prior interactions with virtual human patients (n=27), and used interpersonal touch to comfort and reassure the MRH patient similarly to prior interactions with human patients (n=76)...

The Minnesota Rural Health School (MRHS), which operated from 1996 to 2003, was the University of Minnesota's first initiative that provided rural, community-based, interdisciplinary health professions education. The newly funded Minnesota Area Health Education Center (AHEC) is now coordinating interprofessional rural clinical education at the Academic Health Center level for the university. The service-learning curricular component is one of the most lasting legacies of the MRHS. This article provides a descriptive summary of the initial 61 service-learning projects completed by students from various health professions who participated in the MRHS and indicates the type of projects that have continuing effects...
