Impact of patient resourcefulness on cancer patients' pain management and medical opioid use: A cross-sectional study.

Purpose: Negative beliefs about cancer pain and morphine are detrimental to pain interpretation. Patients with high resourcefulness often proactively address problems to cope with stress, and establish problem-solving strategies.The aim of the project is to investigate the impact of resourcefulness and pain interpretation on cancer-related pain control.

Neochlorogenic acid ameliorates allergic airway inflammation by suppressing type 2 immunity and upregulating HO-1 expression.

Neochlorogenic acid is a natural compound isolated from various fruits and vegetables that has anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative effects in macrophages. Inflammatory immune cells and tracheal epithelial cells can stimulate airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, and reactive oxygen species. In this study, we investigated the effect of neochlorogenic acid in ameliorating inflammatory and oxidative responses in asthmatic mice.

Comprehensive pathogen identification and antimicrobial resistance prediction from positive blood cultures using nanopore sequencing technology.

Background: Blood cultures are essential for diagnosing bloodstream infections, but current phenotypic tests for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) provide limited information. Oxford Nanopore Technologies introduces nanopore sequencing with adaptive sampling, capable of real-time host genome depletion, yet its application directly from blood cultures remains unexplored. This study aimed to identify pathogens and predict AMR using nanopore sequencing.

Barriers to mobile personal health assistant in patients living with diabetes.

Objectives: Continued use of a digital health assistant that helps patients living with diabetes to self-manage and deal with complex problems in order to enhance their health status is a healthcare priority. The objective was to explore the barriers related to the use of a mobile personal health assistant for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Eighty-one participants were offered a personal health assistant through a smartphone application.

Complete genome sequence of aquaculture pond isolate, M4019.

is commonly found in soil and has various antibacterial activities against animal and plant pathogens. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of strain M4019, isolated from a euryhaline aquaculture pond water in Yong-An, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. This pond-water-derived isolate, unlike common soil-derived isolates, may provide potentially different adaptations and antimicrobial cues for future research.
