Work-related flow and its correlates among frontline nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Ample evidence across non-healthcare fields highlights the role of work-related flow in enhancing resilience against work stress and work engagement. Understanding flow and its factors can support staff development and management.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the level of work-related flow and its associated factors among frontline nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Oxidative Stress in Aging and Disease.

Mitochondria are considered to have a significant influence on aging due to their critical role in the regulation of bioenergetics, oxidative stress, and cell death [...

Integrative Multiomics Evaluation of IIDH1 Metabolic Enzyme as a Candidate Oncogene That is Correlated with Poor Prognosis and Immune Infiltration in Prostate Adenocarcinoma.

Mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase gene (IDH1) are involved in the progression of tumors. Although IDH1 has a role in various tumors, its clinical relevance and its expression in response to the immune response have not been investigated in prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD). In the present study, we investigated the utility of IDH1 as a prognostic biomarker for PRAD by analyzing IDH1 mRNA expression and its association with patient survival and immune cell infiltration.

Molecular Machinery and Pathophysiology of Mitochondrial Dynamics.

Mitochondria are double-membraned organelles that exhibit fluidity. They are the main site of cellular aerobic respiration, providing energy for cell proliferation, migration, and survival; hence, they are called "powerhouses." Mitochondria play an important role in biological processes such as cell death, cell senescence, autophagy, lipid synthesis, calcium homeostasis, and iron balance.

The Association Between Traditional Chinese Medicine Body Constitution Deviation and Essential Hypertension: A Case-Control Study.

Background: The prevention and treatment of hypertension is valued globally. The World Health Organization advocates combining traditional medicines in the prevention and treatment of diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) assumes that diseases originate from the attenuation of one's body constitution.

The prevalence rate of deviations in body constitutions and related factors in follow-up stage breast cancer patients-A nationwide study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to apply a rigorous traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) body constitution questionnaire (BCQ) to survey the prevalence rate of deviations in body constitution and to explore the health-related lifestyle behavior factors of deviations in body constitution.

Design: A cross-sectional study was administered through postal mail. Subjects were recruited from a national organization for breast cancer patients (Taiwan Breast Cancer Alliance).
