Needs Analysis for The Development of a Manual in Palliative Care for Malaysia: An Islamic Psychospiritual Approach.

This study explicates an Islamic approach to palliative care based on the results of a needs analysis regarding the development of an Islamic psychospiritual manual of palliative care alongside related elements. This article represents the first phase of a three-phase study using the design and development research (DDR) approach developed by Richey and Klein to study for design and development of manual either needed or otherwise. This project is a quantitative study that uses purposive sampling through a questionnaire instrument to investigate 210 participants from the general population in Malaysia that have experience in taking care of terminally ill patients.

Turkish validity and reliability study of disease-related fear scale in patients with epilepsy.

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish disease-related fear scale (D-RFS) for adult patients with epilepsy.

Methods: This methodological study was conducted with 154 patients with epilepsy who were referred to the neurology clinic and outpatient clinic of Firat University Hospital between December 2021 and March 2022. Content and construct validity were evaluated after the scale was translated into Turkish.

Genome-wide dose-dependent inhibition of histone deacetylases studies reveal their roles in enhancer remodeling and suppression of oncogenic super-enhancers.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) are known to alter gene expression by both up- and down-regulation of protein-coding genes in normal and cancer cells. However, the exact regulatory mechanisms of action remain uncharacterized. Here we investigated genome wide dose-dependent epigenetic and transcriptome changes in response to HDACI largazole in a transformed and a non-transformed cell line.

Bio-inspired polarized skylight-based navigation sensors: a review.

Animal senses cover a broad range of signal types and signal bandwidths and have inspired various sensors and bioinstrumentation devices for biological and medical applications. Insects, such as desert ants and honeybees, for example, utilize polarized skylight pattern-based information in their navigation activities. They reliably return to their nests and hives from places many kilometers away.

[Local hyperthermia of upper respiratory passages for perennial allergic rhinitis].

Local hyperthermia (43 degrees C) to the upper respiratory passages, without supplementary drugs, relieves symptoms of perennial allergic rhinitis. Treatment consisted of 3, 30 minute sessions at 1-hour intervals during a single day. 69% were free of their symptoms during the month following treatment, and 52, 37 and 28% were free for 4, 8 and 12 months, respectively.
