High sensitivity and reactivity to behaviors of family members characterizes several forms of psychopathology, including self-inflicted injury (SII). We examined mother-daughter behavioral and psychophysiological reactivity during a conflict discussion using nonlinear dynamics to assess asymmetrical associations within time-series data. Depressed, SII, and control adolescents and their mothers ...

Background Significant evidence suggests that asthma might originate from low-grade systemic inflammation. Previous studies have established a positive association between the immune-inflammation index (SII) and inflammation response (SIRI) levels risk of stroke. However, it remains unclear whether SII, SIRI prevalence stroke are related in individuals with asthma. Methods The present cross-sec...

Abstract Background There is significant evidence of inequalities in the need for dental treatment, and their monitoring essential public health planning. Objective To measure extent association between socioeconomic inequality care. Method This study used data from 2011 Survey Oral Health Conditions, including a representative sample adolescents (n=2,310) adults (n=1,188) state Minas Gerais, B...

Aim: Systemic immune-inflammation indexes have been reported to be associated with clinical outcomes in several malignancies. Herein, we aimed evaluate the potential relationship between prognostic nutritional index (PNI), systemic (SII), neutrophil- to- lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte- (MLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) and treatment response patients esophageal cancer who underwent neoadjuv...

Background: The global digital economy is developing quickly, and innovation plays a crucial role in today's economic growth. Aims: main aim was to investigate the interrelationships between performance of EU countries using selected indices (DESI, GII, SII). fulfilled by 2 partial goals subsequently set hypotheses. Methods: To verify hypotheses, we used Kendall Tau coefficient (τ), panel data ...

The functional organization of the primate somatosensory system at thalamocortical levels has been a matter of controversy, in particular, over the extent to which the primary and secondary somatosensory cortical areas, SI and SII, are organized in parallel or serial neural networks for the processing of tactile information. This issue was investigated for the marmoset monkey by recording from ...

In serial sensory processing, information flows from the thalamus via primary sensory cortices to higher-order association areas. However, association cortices also receive, albeit weak, direct thalamocortical sensory inputs of unknown function. For example, while information proceeds from primary (SI) to secondary (SII) somatosensory cortex in a serial fashion, both areas are known to receive ...

Objective To assess associations between national characteristics, including governance indicators, with a proxy for universal health coverage in reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH). Design Ecological analysis based on data from national standardised cross-sectional surveys. Setting Low-income and middle-income countries with a Demographic and Health Survey or a Multipl...

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether the blood neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet (PLR) and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score at time of metastasis in colorectal cancers (CRC) predict overall survival (OS) their prognostic roles.
 Materials Methods: 1250 cancer patients followed up our oncology center between 2015-2020 were retrospectively screened ...
