People who approve of one's physical activity vs. people who are influential: A randomized cross-over experiment to compare normative referent elicitation procedures.

Objectives: To compare injunctive norm scores assessed based on Ajzen's (2002) original normative referent elicitation method (e.g., norms from those who approve/disapprove of physical activity) and a revised method (e.

Mental Health Among Elite Youth Athletes: A Narrative Overview to Advance Research and Practice.

Context: Participation in sports during youth is typically beneficial for mental health. However, it is unclear whether elite sport contexts contribute to greater risk of psychological distress or disorder. The aims of this paper are to highlight conceptual issues that require resolution in future research and practice, and to examine the key factors that may contribute to the mental health of elite youth athletes (EYAs).

Promotion of physical activity among people who identify as women through the ParticipACTION mobile app.

Objective: Health and fitness mobile applications can increase users' physical activity (PA) levels (Lister et al., 2014). ParticipACTION is a national non-profit organization that developed a mobile app to target PA among adults (Truelove et al.

Attraction toward physical activity as a moderator of socio-cognitive predictors of physical activity.

Previous research highlighted gaps between socio-cognitive factors (e.g., intentions, social norms) and physical activity (PA) participation.

The impact of the Well-Dying Law in Korea: comparing clinical characteristics and ICU admissions.

Background: Since Korea implemented the Well-Dying Law in 2018, intensive, and end-of-life care have greatly changed. This study sought to determine whether there were any changes in the clinical aspects or appropriateness of intensive care unit admissions before and after the law was implemented.

Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective study for 3 months with patients admitted to a medical intensive care unit before and after the law was implemented.

Injunctive norms as social pressures: Does autonomy support moderate the relationship between injunctive norms and autonomy satisfaction in physical activity?

 Despite the usefulness of social norms for changing behaviour, injunctive norms (i.e., perceptions of what others approve) from significant others tend to be a weak predictor of physical activity (PA) engagement.

Change in perception of the quality of death in the intensive care unit by healthcare workers associated with the implementation of the "well-dying law".

Purpose: The importance of dying with dignity in the intensive care unit (ICU) has been emphasized. The South Korean government implemented the "well-dying law" in 2018, which enables patients to refuse futile life-sustaining treatment (LST) after being determined as terminally ill. We aimed to study whether the well-dying law is associated with a significant change in the quality of death in the ICU.

Transient Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia Linked to Mutation.

Prolonged hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in infancy can result in developmental sequelae. A mutation in the paired box-6 gene () has been reported to cause disorders in oculogenesis and neurogenesis. A limited number of cases of diabetes mellitus in adults with a mutation suggest that the gene also plays a role in glucose homeostasis.

Usefulness of the IgA and IgG Responses to Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor for the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis.

Serological tests offer the potential in order to improve the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) plays a protective role in infection control in TB; however, to date, no studies on antibody responses to MIF have been reported. We measured immunoglobulin (Ig)A and IgG responses to MIF in individuals with either active tuberculosis (ATB; = 65), latent tuberculosis (LTBI; = 53), or in non-infected individuals (NI; = 62).

Diagnostic Potential of IgG and IgA Responses to t Antigens for Discrimination among Active Tuberculosis, Latent Tuberculosis Infection, and Non-Infected Individuals.

Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem. Conventional tests are inadequate to distinguish between active tuberculosis (ATB) and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). We measured antibody responses to antigens ( chorismate mutase (TBCM), antigen 85B (Ag85B), early secreted antigen-6 (ESAT-6), and culture filtrate protein-10 (CFP-10) in ATB, LTBI, and non-infected (NI) individuals.

'If they do it, so can I': a test of a moderated serial mediation model of descriptive norms, self-efficacy, and perceived similarity for predicting physical activity.

Objective: Though engaging in physical activity (PA) is associated with several health benefits, physical inactivity rates remain high. Previous research revealed that descriptive norms (i.e.

Lung injury associated with inhalation of effective microorganism blends.

Since 2009, effective microorganisms (EMs) have been supplied by the local government to the citizens of Seongnam, Korea, for various environment-protective uses including manufacturing detergents, cosmetics and humidifier disinfectants. A 68-year-old man who had placed an EM blends into a humidifier for inhalation visited the emergency room with complaints of fever and dyspnea. He was in a shock state with hypoxia.

Diagnostic and prognostic values of serum activin-a levels in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Background: We aimed to evaluate whether serum activin-A levels are elevated and have any value in predicting severity and prognosis in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Methods: Retrospective cohort study was performed with patients who were admitted to MICU with diagnosis of ARDS and have serum samples stored within 48 h of Intensive care unit (ICU) admission between March 2013 and December 2016 at a single tertiary referral hospital. Serum activin-A levels were measured with ELISA kit, and were compared with those of normal healthy control and non-ARDS sepsis patients.

Acute Respiratory Failure Caused by Hepatopulmonary Fistula in a Patient with Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

A 59-year-old man presented with acute dyspnea following sudden productive cough and expectoration of a full cup of "blood-tinged" sputum. He had been diagnosed with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma and had received transarterial chemoembolization 5 years ago for a 20-cm hepatic mass; he denied any history of hematemesis and the last esophagogastroduodenoscopy from a year ago showed absence of varix. Chest computed tomography (CT) with angiography showed new appearance of right basal lung consolidation but no bleeding focus.
