Healthcare workers’ perspectives on diabetic foot complications among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Fiji

Plos.org 

by Suliana Saverio, Masoud Mohammadnezhad, Filimone Raikanikoda

Introduction

Diabetic Foot Complications (DFCs) are a growing cause of morbidity and mortality with less than one third of physicians able to discern the signs of diabetes related peripheral neuropathy. DFCs and resultant amputations account for a considerable proportion of surgeries in Fiji, with very limited literature available to verify the factors that influence these alarming figures. This study aimed to explore Health... Читать дальше...

Reduction of misdiagnosis in urinary tract infections during pregnancy: The role of adjusted urine flow cytometry parameters

Plos.org 

by Zhaojie Liu, Dan Liu, Guangming Su, Wei Yang

Introduction

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose a significant health concern, particularly among pregnant women, for whom accurate diagnosis is essential. However, the use of Urine flow cytometry (UF) for detecting UTIs in this demographic often results in misdiagnosis. The objective of this study was to explore the reasons behind these diagnostic errors and to develop a strategy to minimize the rate of UTI misdiagnosis in pregnant women. Читать дальше...

Development of SSR markers for genetic diversity analysis and species identification in Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce based on transcriptome sequences

Plos.org 

by Gen Pan, Jing Xie, Yuhui Qin, Shuihan Zhang

Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce is a well-known traditional Chinese herb belonging to the Polygonatum. However, the understanding of the genetic diversity of this species at the molecular level is limited due to the lack of transcriptomic and genomic information. In this study, 37,387 unigenes were assembled based on the transcriptome sequencing of the rhizome of Polygonatum odoratum (Mill.) Druce., and 11,021 single- sequence repeats (SSR) motifs...

Not on the right rung for me? How status inconsistency leads to avoidance of status-threatening ties in NCAA

Plos.org 

by Keehyuk Ra, Bo Kyung Kim

This study examines the impact of status inconsistency on status-threatening activities within NCAA Division I men’s basketball teams. Specifically, we focus on a nested form of status that includes both individual and group-level elements. We argue that organizations dealing with status inconsistency stemming from such nested form face challenges in reducing status inconsistency. To maintain their deserved status, these status-inconsistent organizations tend to... Читать дальше...

A hybrid approach of ensemble learning and grey wolf optimizer for DNA splice junction prediction

Plos.org 

by Eslam Hamouda, Mayada Tarek

DNA splice junction classification is a crucial job in computational biology. The challenge is to predict the junction type (IE, EI, or N) from a given DNA sequence. Predicting junction type is crucial for understanding gene expression patterns, disease causes, splicing regulation, and gene structure. The location of the regions where exons are joined, and introns are removed during RNA splicing is very difficult to determine because no universal rule guides this process. Читать дальше...

GCKSign: Simple and efficient signatures from generalized compact knapsack problems

Plos.org 

by Joo Woo, Kwangsu Lee, Jong Hwan Park

In 2009, Lyubashevsky proposed a lattice-based signature scheme using the Schnorr-like identification and the Fiat-Shamir heuristic and proved its security under the collision resistance of a generalized compact knapsack function. However, their security analysis requires the witness indistinguishability property, leading to significant inefficiency and an increase of sizes of public key and signature. To overcome the efficiency issue associated with the WI property... Читать дальше...
