OBJECTIVE To translate and validate the Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF) Scale in the Greek language. DESIGN A cross-sectional descriptive design was used in order to translate and validate the CRF Scale in Greek. Factor analyses were performed to understand the psychometric properties of the scale and to establish construct, criterion and convergent validity. SETTING Outpatients' oncology clin...

Introducción. Los forrajes en el trópico presentan una baja digestibilidad, por lo que se buscan alternativas alimenticias como la Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) para aumentar calidad de dieta ofrecida. Objetivo. Evaluar efecto del tipo fertilizante y edad rebrote forraje sobre los parámetros ruminales. Materiales métodos. El trabajo realizó año 2020 Finca Experimental Santa Lucía Universidad N...

Tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews) is a perennial woody shrub bearing large and colorful flowers. However, the flowering period is short and relatively uniform, which to an important extent hinders the cultivation and exploitation of ornamental peonies. In this study, the segregation of an F₁ population derived from P. ostti 'Feng Dan' (an early-flowering cultivar) × P. suffruticosa 'Xin...

Introducción. Tithonia diversifolia es una planta con alto potencial para la alimentación de rumiantes, pero no existen estudios que comparen el efecto fertilización química u orgánica a diferentes edades rebrote sobre su rendimiento y composición bromatológica. Objetivo. Evaluar del tipo fertilizante edad bromatológica forraje diversifolia. Materiales métodos. El trabajo se realizó entre los a...

Today, next-generation whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used to determine the genetic relationships of bacteria on a nearly whole-genome level for infection control purposes and molecular surveillance. Here, we conducted a multicenter ring trial comprising five laboratories to determine the reproducibility and accuracy of WGS-based typing. The participating laboratories sequenced 2...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most abundant and richest form of genomic polymorphism, and hence make highly favorable markers for genetic map construction and genome-wide association studies. In this study, a total of 300 rapeseed accessions (278 representative of Chinese germplasm, plus 22 outgroup accessions of different origins and ecotypes) were collected and sequenced usin...

BACKGROUND Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) can jeopardize the effectiveness of DAAs in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The selection pressure by pegylated-interferon (Peg-IFN) plus ribavirin (P/R) treatment may enhance HCV genome variation. However, whether P/R treatment alters the rate of change of RASs is still unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS W...

a flow-duration curve (fdc) illustrates the relationship between the frequency and magnitude of streamflow. applications of fdc are of interest for many hydrological problems related to hydropower generation, river and reservoir sedimentation, water quality assessment, water-use assessment, water allocation and habitat suitability. this study was carried out in 11 selected watersheds with commo...
