Compared to general population, pathological gamblers are 3.4 times more likely to attempt suicide. Our objective was to identify specific profiles of problem gamblers (PGs) with suicidal risk according to sociodemographic, clinical and gambling characteristics. The PGs cohort, called "EVALJEU" , consists in the inclusion of any new PG seeking treatment in our Department. Patients underwent a s...

We synthesized and evaluated biodegradable and elastomeric polyesters (poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS)) using polycondensation between glycerol and sebacic acid to form a cross-linked network structure without using exogenous catalysts. Synthesized materials possess good mechanical properties, elasticity, and surface erosion biodegradation behavior. The tensile strength of the PGS was as high as ...

Materials and methods Observational retrospective study. We enrolled 76 patients (65 females and 11 males) present in our database since 2003, with diagnosis of JIS. Mean age at first diagnosis was 6.37± 1.4. We considered as main indirect clinical sign of PGS the quick height growth (more than 5 cm in six months) while Risser test 1, menarche and sharp growth slowing down (2 cm in six months) ...

Remodeling of large and small arteries contributes to the development and complications of hypertension. Artery structural changes in chronic sustained hypertension include vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) modifications. Extracellular constituents such as proteoglycans (PGs), may modulate vascular stiffness and VSMC growth and differentiation. We ...

<p class="abstract">Type I posterior glottic stenosis (PGS) is a rare and challenging entity that defined by the presence of scar band separate from interarytenoid mucosa. This case reports child who developed PGS-I secondary to prolonged intubation submitted an endoscopic approach. 11-year-old boy presented with 4 years complaint stridor triggered physical efforts sleep. He had history m...

Liquid crystal (LC) circular polarization gratings (PGs), also known as Pancharatnam–Berry (PB) phase deflectors, are diffractive waveplates with linearly changed optical anisotropy axes. Due to the high diffraction efficiency, selectivity character, and simple fabrication process, photoalignment LC PGs have been widely studied developed especially in management beam split. In this review paper...

This study evaluated the Persian version of Pandemic Grief Scale (PGS) psychometric properties in a sample 473 people who have suffered loss loved one due to COVID-19 pandemic. The scale was internally consistent with Cronbach’s alpha 0.86. PGS found positive and significant correlation between Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) Work Social Adjustment (WSAS). Furthermore, unidimensional mod...

Regulatory standards and certification models are essential tools guaranteeing the authenticity of organic products. In particular, third-party certification is useful to consumers since it provides guarantees regarding production processes and food quality. In an attempt to cope with the costs and bureaucratic procedures related to the adoption of such certification, groups of small producers ...

Prostaglandins (PGs) of the J2 series form in vivo and exert effects on a variety of biological processes. While most of PGs mediate their effects through G protein-coupled receptors, the mechanism of action for the J2 series of PGs remains unclear. Here, we report the PGJ2 and its derivatives are efficacious activators of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors alpha and gamma (PPAR alpha ...
