Adverse childhood experiences, resilience, and syringe services program attendance among persons who inject drugs in Northeast Georgia, USA: A mediation analysis.

Background: Syringe services programs (SSP) are evidence-based venues offering harm reduction services to persons who inject drugs (PWID), such as sterile syringes, STI/HIV testing, and linkage to care to decrease drug use-related morbidities and mortalities. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked with reduced resilience, while increased resilience can help PWID attend SSPs. This study examined the potential mediating role of resilience between ACEs and SSP attendance among PWID.

Assessment of salicylic acid and potassium nitrate to mitigate frost stress in autumn-sown potato crop cv. Sutlej.

Potato is cultivated all the year round in Pakistan. However, the major crop is the autumn crop which is planted in mid-October and contributes 80-85% of the total production. The abrupt climate change has affected the weather patterns all over the world, resulting in the reduction of the mean air temperature in autumn by almost 1.

Purposes: The objective was to evaluate the accuracy of a novel CT dynamic angiographic imaging (CT-DAI) algorithm for rapid fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 14 patients (age 58.5 ± 10.

Simultaneous measurement of liquid level and R.I. sensor using POF based on twisted structure.

In this paper, a dual-parameter liquid level and refractive index (R.I.) sensor is fabricated using three pieces of bare polymer optical fibers (POFs), which can independently and simultaneously sense the liquid level and R.

An Audit Cycle of Gynecological History Documentation in Emergency Surgical Admissions of Female Patients of Childbearing Age Presenting with Acute Abdominal Pain at a District General Hospital.

Background Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial, particularly in women of reproductive age presenting with acute abdominal pain. This audit aimed to assess the completeness and accuracy of gynecological history documentation, including pregnancy status, in female patients admitted for emergency surgery due to abdominal pain.
