Depression and its association with menstrual disturbance among female university students: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Depression and menstrual disturbance are common issues among female university students worldwide. Various studies in different countries have revealed a potential connection between depression and menstrual disturbance. However, no research specifically focusing on this relationship has been conducted with the Bangladeshi population.

Prevalence and persistence of carriage in Swedish university students.

The bacterium causes life-threatening disease worldwide, typically with a clinical presentation of sepsis or meningitis, but can be carried asymptomatically as part of the normal human oropharyngeal microbiota. The aim of this study was to examine carriage with regard to prevalence, risk factors for carriage, distribution of meningococcal lineages and persistence of meningococcal carriage. Throat samples and data from a self-reported questionnaire were obtained from 2744 university students (median age: 23 years) at a university in Sweden on four occasions during a 12-month period.

What activities reduce plastic waste the most? - The path to a circular economy for Japan's manufacturing industry.

In recent years, plastic waste has received increasing attention, though most studies on it have investigated only household plastic waste. In Japan, the amount of household plastic waste is approximately equal to that generated by the manufacturing process in Japan. Therefore, we focus on the change in plastic waste emissions from manufacturing from 2004 to 2018.

The use of wearable sensors to assess and treat the upper extremity after stroke: a scoping review.

Purpose: To address the gap in the literature and clarify the expanding role of wearable sensor data in stroke rehabilitation, we summarized the methods for upper extremity (UE) sensor-based assessment and sensor-based treatment.

Materials And Methods: The guideline outlined by the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis extension for scoping reviews was used to complete this scoping review. Information pertaining to participant demographics, sensory information, data collection, data processing, data analysis, and study results were extracted from the studies for analysis and synthesis.
