OBJECTIVES There are limited data on the usage of commercially bought self-tests for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Therefore, we studied HIV/STI self-test usage and its determinants among the general population and sexual risk groups between 2007 and 2015 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. SETTING Data were collected in four different studies among the general population (...

Background and Aim: Space maintenance is an important process in the mixed dentition as a preventive measure for multiple malocclusion problems related to the loss of arch length. The awareness of parents and the satisfaction of children are two critical factors determining the efficacy of space maintainers. The aim of this study was to as-sess the level of parents’ awareness of space maintaine...

background: little knowledge of synonymous codon usage pattern of pseudorabies virus (prv) genome, especially the ul31 gene in the process for its evolution is available. objectives: in the present study, the codon usage bias between prv ul31 sequence and the ul31-like sequences was identified. materials and methods: we used a comprehensive analysis on codon usage pattern in the prv ul31 gene a...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive and other CNS impairments which is increasing worldwide and poses a major public health problem, yet no effective treatments are found and available drugs only alleviate the symptoms temporarily. Postmortem analyses on the brains of AD patients and observed lower risk of AD in NSAIDs users among other studi...

Introduction  Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) are the most common drugs for the control of asthma. This study was conducted to evaluate usage patterns, satisfaction with and concerns about MDIs for children with asthma and the related factors from the viewpoints’ of their parents. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on children with asthma who referred to asthma and a...

conclusions genotypes 1 and 4 demonstrated remarkable similarity in terms of genome sequences and proteins, but surprisingly, in terms of the preferred codons for gene expression, they showed the greatest difference. more studies are therefore needed to confirm the results and select the best approach for treatment of these genotypes based on their codon usage properties. results the six genoty...

The first aim for this paper was to examine gender and age differences in the intensity of usage of information and communication technology (ICT: computer for digital playing, writing and e-mailing and communication, and Internet surfing, and mobile phone). Second, we modelled the possible mediating role of sleeping habits and waking-time tiredness in the association between ICT usage and perc...
