Experiences of Asian American College Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The purpose of this study is to examine experiences among Asian American college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Six focus groups were held online via Zoom (Zoom Video Communications, Inc., San Jose, USA) with a total of 21 participants in October and November 2020.

Utilization of Oral Healthcare Among Uninsured Populations During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States.

Background: Accessibility to dental care is vital for uninsured low-income individuals. There is a deficit of research that examines oral healthcare seeking during the COVID-19 pandemic among uninsured low-income individuals. The purpose of this study is to describe oral health-related issues among patients of a free clinic that does not provide dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Calculation of the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in Upper and Lower Limb Motor Assessment in Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Objectives: Physical function assessments in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are important indicators for assessing the effectiveness of treatment and changes over time in rehabilitation therapy. However, few reports exist on this indicator. This study calculated the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for assessing motor function in the upper and lower limbs of individuals with SMA to estimate the degree of change within a functional score that is considered clinically meaningful.

Deep learning-based cytoskeleton segmentation for accurate high-throughput measurement of cytoskeleton density.

Microscopic analyses of cytoskeleton organization are crucial for understanding various cellular activities, including cell proliferation and environmental responses in plants. Traditionally, assessments of cytoskeleton dynamics have been qualitative, relying on microscopy-assisted visual inspection. However, the transition to quantitative digital microscopy has introduced new technical challenges, with segmentation of cytoskeleton structures proving particularly demanding.

Examining the Perceptions and Experiences of Dental Care Among Immigrant Free Clinic Patients.

Dental anxiety, the fear related to dental services, can be presented in diverse ways, hindering those in need of dental treatment. This anxiety often results in higher levels of untreated dental issues, affecting oral health-related quality of life primarily due to insufficient dental care or dental care avoidance. Identifying its causes is crucial for effective support and preventative care.
