Social Media Addiction and Poor Mental Health: Examining the Mediating Roles of Internet Addiction and Phubbing.

Many researchers have examined the potential detrimental role of problematic social media use (often referred as 'social media addiction') on mental health. The present study investigated how social media addiction is associated with three components of mental health: depression, anxiety, and stress. In addition, structural equation modeling was used to test the mediating roles of internet addiction and phubbing among a sample of young adults ( = 603).

assessment of genotoxic effects in L., 1758 (Teleostei: Cyprinidae) exposed to selected metal(oid)s.

Heavy metals and metalloids originating from industrial, agricultural, and urban wastes and increasing in aquatic ecosystems cause genotoxic damage to fish species. This study aimed to determine the potential genotoxic effects of mixtures of aluminum, arsenic, and manganese in . The effects of the mixtures on erythrocyte cells of were examined using the comet assay, micronucleus test, and erythrocytic nuclear abnormalities in two groups after exposure to three doses of the mixtures (Group A; Dose 1: 0.

Effects of Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors on Proliferation, Apoptosis, and Migration in Breast Carcinoma Cells.

High telomerase activity in human breast cancer is associated with aggressive tumors resulting in decreased survival. Recent studies have shown that telomerase inhibitors may display anticancer properties in some human cancer cell lines. In the present study, we examined the effects of 4 reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs), used for the treatment of HIV; Abacavir (AC), Lamivudine (LV), Stavudine (SV), and Tenofovir (TF) on proliferation, apoptosis, and migration in the normal human mammary epithelial cell line, hTERT-HME1, and the human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7.

Pro-abortion attitude with context of traditional and professional identity dilemma.

Background: Nurses are in a key position for reproduction health service delivery. Therefore, it is thought that it would be important to inspect opinions of student nurses, who will be health employees in the future, about self-induced abortion to develop women health and public health.

Objectives: The goal of this study is to inspect opinions of nursing students with different sociocultural specialties, about self-induced abortions.
