This paper's object is to discuss the interfaces between the prevention of AIDS and affective-sexual relationships and power in marriage. The subject matter is interpreted in light of the foucaultian thinking of power, and emerged from previous research. The fidelity pact assumed by the man as a commitment to himself and to his wife, contributes to the consideration that the hypothesis of sexual contamination is remote. However, even though distant, the possibility of contracting aids provokes a certain insecurity in the man, who feels dependent on his partner's behavior with regard to this issue.

The aperiodic exponent of the power spectrum of signals in several neuroimaging modalities has been found to be related to the excitation/inhibition balance of the neural system. Leveraging the rich temporal dynamics of resting-state pupil fluctuations, the present study investigated the association between the aperiodic exponent of pupil fluctuations and the neural excitation/inhibition balance in attentional processing. In separate phases, we recorded participants' pupil size during resting state and assessed their attentional orienting using the Posner cueing tasks with different cue validities (i.

Label-free imaging is routinely used during cell culture because of its minimal interference with intracellular biology and capability of observing cells over time. However, label-free image analysis is challenging due to the low contrast between foreground signals and background. So far various deep learning tools have been developed for label-free image analysis and their performance depends on the quality of training data.

Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer worldwide and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. In this study, we propose a novel esophageal stent equipped with a wireless, battery-free, and movable photodynamic therapy (PDT) unit designed to treat esophageal tumors with flexibility, precision, and real-time control. This system integrates a PDT unit and an electrochemical pneumatic soft actuator into a conventional esophageal stent.

Coagulase-negative (CoNS) is a rare cause of UTIs in children and is often regarded as a contaminant in urine samples. We report a case of acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) and bacteremia caused by following an upper respiratory infection in a pediatric patient. The patient, a four-year-old girl, presented with fever, cough, and a runny nose two days before being referred to our hospital due to persistent fever and poor oral intake.

Background And Aim: Distinguishing dengue fever (DF) from other viral infections solely based on common presentations poses a challenge. Therefore, there is a pressing need for additional diagnostic parameters that are reliable, swift, and cost-effective. This study aims to provide novel insights into the diagnostic value of hematological parameters, particularly mean monocyte volume (MMV), in predicting DF in Kelantan, Malaysia.
