Société de Biomécanique young investigator award 2023: Estimation of intersegmental load at L5-S1 during lifting/lowering tasks using force plate free markerless motion capture.

Accurate estimation of joint load during a lifting/lowering task could provide a better understanding of the pathogenesis and development of musculoskeletal disorders. In particular, the values of the net force and moment at the L5-S1 joint could be an important criterion to identify the unsafe lifting/lowering tasks. In this study, the joint load at L5-S1 was estimated from the motion kinematics acquired using a multi-view markerless motion capture system without force plate.

The twisted path to sacredness: a grounded theory study of irrational religious orientation and its psycho-sociological implications.

This research delves into the nuances, origins, and societal effects of irrational religious orientations within China's Generation Z, employing grounded theory methodology for a comprehensive analysis. The focus is on those born between 1995 and 2010, a demographic raised amidst rapid information technology growth and significantly influenced by digitalization and globalization. The study identifies three primary dimensions of irrational religious orientations in Generation Z: religious spiritual dependence, religious instrumental tendency, and religious uniqueness identity.

When income meets faith: the development and application of the Chinese generation Z unconventional religious orientation scale.

This study seeks to analyze the psychological construction of Unconventional Religious Orientations and their association with individual income level satisfaction within Generation Z. Generation Z, individuals born between 1995 and 2010, grew up in a socio-cultural context marked by digitization and globalization. This study identifies three key dimensions of Unconventional Religious Orientations: religious spiritual dependence, religious instrumental tendencies, and religious uniqueness identity.

Effect of Face Blurring on Human Pose Estimation: Ensuring Subject Privacy for Medical and Occupational Health Applications.

The face blurring of images plays a key role in protecting privacy. However, in computer vision, especially for the human pose estimation task, machine-learning models are currently trained, validated, and tested on original datasets without face blurring. Additionally, the accuracy of human pose estimation is of great importance for kinematic analysis.

The Impact of Job Stress and State Anger on Turnover Intention Among Nurses During COVID-19: The Mediating Role of Emotional Exhaustion.

Based on the social exchange theory, the aim of this study is to identify the association between job stress state anger, emotional exhaustion and job turnover intention. This study postulates that job related stress and state anger among nurses during COVID-19 subsequently leads to their job turnover intentions. In addition, the study also aims to see the mediating role of emotional exhaustion between COVID-19-related job stress, state anger, and turnover intentions.

Association of Mortality-Related Risk Factors in Patients with COVID-19: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

COVID-19 is a rapidly disseminating infectious disease conferred by the World Health Organization (WHO) as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Epidemiological and clinical characteristics data have been identified for patients with COVID-19, but mortality-related risk factors and a comprehensive clinical course of disease in a developing country have not been specifically defined. This retrospective, single-center cohort study involved all successive inpatients having a positive COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR), with deceased or discharged clinical outcomes from 1 January to 10 May 2021.

High CTSL2 expression predicts poor prognosis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Cathepsin like 2 (CTSL2) is a lysosomal cysteine protease, and may be associated with tumor metastasis. However, CTSL2 has not been reported as a biomarker in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). In this study, bioinformatics analysis using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas was performed.

Successful surgical treatment of Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome with bilateral flail chest: a case report.

Background: Development of multiple rib fractures leading to bilateral flail chest in Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome (CCS) has not been reported.

Case Presentation: A 59-year-old man presented with complaints of fatigue, chest pain, respiratory distress and orthopnea requiring ventilatory support to maintain oxygenation. CCS with bilateral anterior and posterior flail chest due to multiple rib fractures (2nd-10th on the right side and 2nd-11th on the left side).

MicroRNAs-491-5p suppresses cell proliferation and invasion by inhibiting IGF2BP1 in non-small cell lung cancer.

MicroRNAs-491-5p (miR-491-5p) has been found to involve in tumor initiation and development in several tumors. However, the biological function and underlying molecular mechanism of miR-491-5p in non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unclear. This study was therefore to investigate biological role of and underlying molecular mechanisms of in NSCLC.

MicroRNA-92a promotes growth, metastasis, and chemoresistance in non-small cell lung cancer cells by targeting PTEN.

MicroRNA-92a (miR-92a) has been reported to play important roles in tumorigenesis of human various cancers. However, the roles and underlying molecular mechanism of miR-92a in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not been totally elucidated. Therefore, the aims of this study were to determine the role of miR-92a and to elucidate its regulatory mechanism in NSCLC.
