Factors associated with cervical cancer screening in the South African demographic and health surveyNARA Subscribed
Introduction Cervical cancer is South Africa’s second most common cancer among women, yet for complex reasons, Papanicolaou screening uptake remains suboptimal. Only a few studies have explored the interplay between sociodemographic characteristics, women’s empowerment, healthcare access, and lifestyle behaviors in influencing screening participation. We examined the associations between cervical cancer screening uptake and so...
Machine Learning Prediction of Protein Adsorption on Drug-delivering Nanoparticles: A Literature Survey and Need for Future DevelopmentNARA Subscribed
Nanoparticles (NPs), due to their small size and large surface area, have advanced their use as drug carriers for delivering various therapeutic molecules. When entering biological environments, nanoparticles typically adsorb proteins, forming a surface layer known as a protein corona that significantly affects the biological and therapeutic functions of a delivery system. Understanding and predicting protein adsorption is ess...
Rationale Rodent vendors are often utilized interchangeably, assuming that the phenotype of a given strain remains standardized between colonies. Several studies, however, have found significant behavioral and physiological differences between Sprague Dawley (SD) rats from separate vendors. Prepulse inhibition of startle (PPI), a form of sensorimotor gating in which a low-intensity leading stimulus reduces the startle response...
Patient Understanding of Chemotherapy and Goals of Care as Provided by Different Care Team MembersNARA Subscribed
Chemotherapy can be challenging and overwhelming for patients, but when patients are knowledgeable about chemotherapy, their comfort level, overall satisfaction, and coping improve. It is currently unknown whether patients prefer information about chemotherapy to be provided by specific care team members and whether demographic characteristics affect learning preferences. We developed a 31-question questionnaire that asked pat...
