Abstract

To describe sex differences in physical, psychologic, and social recovery patterns after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS). Repeated measures between groups (men versus women) design. Data were collected before discharge from the hospital and at 1, 3, and 6 weeks after discharge. Five teaching hospitals: one urban, three suburban, and one midstate hospital that serves rural and urban clients The initial sample consisted of 187 men and 70 women; 132 men and 47 women completed the study. Physical recovery was assessed by three subscales of the Sickness Impact Profile--ambulation, sleep-rest, body care and movement; a Symptom Inventory, and a Cantril Ladder Scale. Psychologic recovery was measured by the Beck Depression Inventory, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and a Cantril Ladder Scale. Social recovery was measured by three subscales of the Sickness Impact Profile--home management, social interaction, and recreation and pastimes. All measures indicated significant improvement over time with the exception of self-esteem and perception of mental health, which remained stable. There were significant differences between men and women on five recovery variables: ambulation dysfunction, physical symptoms, perceptions of physical...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
