A longitudinal study of facial function, quality of life, and depression in Bell's palsy during pregnancy and puerperium.

Bell's palsy can reduce facial function and quality of life. Pregnancy may also be physically and psychologically challenging. This study investigates depression among pregnant and puerperal women with and without Bell's palsy and if degree of facial palsy and depression was correlated.

Implementation and adaptation of WASH FIT in healthcare facilities: A systematic scoping review.

Environmental health services (e.g., water, sanitation, hygiene, energy) are important for patient safety and strong health systems, yet services in many low- and middle-income countries are poor.

Bell's Palsy in Pregnancy and Postpartum: A Retrospective Case-Control Study of 182 Patients.

Objective: To assess the incidence of Bell's palsy in pregnant and postpartum women. Additionally, to compare facial outcomes in terms of Sunnybrook score following Bell's palsy with regard to corticosteroid treatment and other confounding factors.

Study Design: Retrospective case-control study.

Shapify: Paths to SARS-CoV-2 frameshifting pseudoknot.

Multiple coronaviruses including MERS-CoV causing Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, SARS-CoV causing SARS, and SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19, use a mechanism known as -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (-1 PRF) to replicate. SARS-CoV-2 possesses a unique RNA pseudoknotted structure that stimulates -1 PRF. Targeting -1 PRF in SARS-CoV-2 to impair viral replication can improve patients' prognoses.

Determination of hydroxycinnamic acids present in Rhododendron species.

Hydroxycinnamates including free hydroxycinnamic acids and their chlorogenic acid derivatives and glycosides have been profiled in leaf extracts of 98 Rhododendron species using LC-MS techniques. In total, 69 hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives were identified in the leaves of 98 Rhododendron species. Some derivatives serve as unique phytochemical marker for a single species, whereas other compounds are limited to certain subgenera.
