CONCLUSION: Understanding the specific characteristics of our pediatric patient population can help us guide treatment and elucidate these patients' needs to improve their outcomes.

CONCLUSION: These findings emphasize the importance of considering the effectiveness of coping styles within specific contexts and to developing interventions that promote adaptive coping strategies, especially for patients facing prolonged hospitalization.

CONCLUSION: The survey findings highlight the need to provide mental health services to schoolteachers in the aftermath of a natural disaster in Puerto Rico.

This study aimed to evaluate implant outcomes, including success or survival, complications, and marginal bone loss (MBL), in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), comparing short versus long implants with sinus augmentation (SA) after 5 or more years of loading. The objective was to update the qualitative and quantitative evidence on this topic and provide a comprehensive analysis of the previously identified implant outcomes. Electronic searches were conducted in 4 scientific databases from...

CONCLUSION: The PR Country Card is a tool to raise awareness and identify surveillance, research, and policy gaps. Recommendations include establishing a dedicated PR health monitoring system, integrating PA into PR national public health plans, and establishing an interinstitutional coalition for PA research (in PR). Multi-sector efforts from policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders are essential for meaningful progress in improving PA levels and public health in PR.

CONCLUSION: Hispanic White patients with neuroblastoma had lower OS than did non-Hispanic White patients, partly due to the former having a higher proportion of diploid tumors. These findings highlight the importance of considering ethnicity and tumor ploidy in risk stratification and treatment strategies.

The concept of mature specialized cells and the stability of the differentiated state was fundamentally challenged by Elizabeth Hay's groundbreaking observations on amphibian limb regeneration, published in 1959. Building on previous work by C.S. Thornton, she discovered that muscle cells could dedifferentiate and transform into progenitor cells within the regeneration blastema reshaping our understanding of cell differentiation. This pivotal finding reshaped our understanding of cell...

Heteroanionic oxides are attractive for their structural versatility and property tunability. In this work, we report on optoelectronic properties in epitaxial oxyfluoride SrCo(O,F)(3-x) films synthesized on multiple (001)-oriented perovskite substrates. Topochemical fluorination was conducted on the as-grown SrCoO(2.5) films at 200 °C using vapor from poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) as the fluoride source, producing films with a nominal SrCoO(2.2)F(0.6) composition. Uniform fluoride insertion...
