Pain is one of the most common reasons that drive people to go to hospitals. It has been found that several factors affect the practices of pain management. In this regard, this study aimed at investigating the underlying determinants in terms of pain management practices. Based on reviewing the previous studies and the suggestions of the KAP model, it was hypothesized that the main elements of...

The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) concerning the safe use of pesticides of Thai farmers in Don Kha subdistrict, Bang Phae district, Ratchaburi Province. Thirty-three voluntary Thai farmers of thirty-three farming families, recruited by convenience sampling, participated in a training program for six months. Data were collected by questionnai...

Introduction: Ionizing radiation in medical imaging is one of the dominant sources of exposure, and correct knowledge of radiation protection, affects staff safety behaviors during procedures. This study aimed to assess the radiation protection Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) amongst nuclear medicine centers' staff in Iran. Methods: To evaluate the...

Protein phosphatase PP4C has been implicated in the DNA damage response (DDR), but its substrates in DDR remain largely unknown. We devised a novel proteomic strategy for systematic identification of proteins dephosphorylated by PP4C and identified KRAB-domain-associated protein 1 (KAP-1) as a substrate. Ionizing radiation leads to phosphorylation of KAP-1 at S824 (via ATM) and at S473 (via CHK...

We have identified a novel human karyopherin (Kap) beta family member that is related to human Crm1 and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein, Msn5p/Kap142p. Like other known transport receptors, this Kap binds specifically to RanGTP, interacts with nucleoporins, and shuttles between the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments. We report that interleukin enhancer binding factor (ILF)3, a double-str...

BACKGROUND Evidently, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is a recognized medical practice that efficiently uses multiple treatment therapies and techniques in the prevention and management of a variety of human disorders. Many medical schools have integrated CAM curriculum in medical education system worldwide. Research in knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of diverse health prof...

The kidney androgen-regulated protein (KAP) gene is exclusively expressed in proximal tubules of mouse kidney and in the uterus of pregnant females before they give birth. It displays an exquisite and differential regulation of expression by steroid and thyroid hormones (THs) in different proximal tubule segments. Whereas the pars recta (PR cells) responds to thyroid and sexual hormones, the pa...

Der vorliegende Beitrag befasst sich mit der Informationssuche im World Wide Web und ihrer Evaluierung. Ausgehend von einer Zusammenschau der wesentlichen Merkmale des World Wide Web als heterogener Dokumentkollektion (Kap. 1) werden Aufbau und Merkmale von Suchmaschinen und Metasuchmaschinen eingeführt sowie die Problematik der Evaluierung von Suchmaschinen und eine Übersicht bisheriger Ergebn...

Analysis of the interactions of low-risk human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV11) L2 with karyopherin beta (Kap beta) nuclear import receptors revealed that L2 interacted with Kap beta 1, Kap beta 2, and Kap beta 3 and formed a complex with the Kap alpha 2 beta 1 heterodimer. HPV11 L2 contains two nuclear localization signals (NLSs)-in the N terminus and the C terminus-that could mediate its nuclea...

results: most addict patients had a medium level of education. improvement in knowledge, attitude and practice (kap) of patients after intervention was observed as follows; decreasing kap in poor level (2.8% vs. 30.6%), (3% vs. 50%), (25% vs. 80.6%), respectively; also, increasing kap in fair level (7% vs. 55.6 %), (15% vs. 15%), (19% vs. 7%), respectively and increasing kap in satisfactory lev...
