Background: Among non-communicable diseases, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for 44% of all deaths. Among natural alternatives, Nigella sativa (NS) exert beneficial effects on cardio-metabolic factors. This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis protocol aimed to identify all the findings relevant to the effects of NS on cardio-metabolic factors among adults. Methods: This stud...

Longitudinal experiments allow one to evaluate the temporal stability of latent preferences, but raise concerns about sample selection and attrition that may confound inferences about temporal stability. We evaluate the hypothesis of temporal stability in risk preferences using a remarkable data set that combines sociodemographic information from the Danish Civil Registry with information on ri...

Quantum transport properties of pure and functioned infinite lead-connection region-lead systembased on the zigzag graphene nanoribbon (2-zGNR) have been investigated. In this work the effectof the doping functionalization on the quantum transport of the 2-zGNR has been computationallystudied. Also, the effect of the imposed gate voltages (-3.0, 0.0 and +3.0 V) and bias voltages 0.0 to2.0 V hav...

BackgroundIn recent years there is increasing attention to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the diagnosis treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, AI approaches carry risk algorithmic bias from nonrepresentative training sets that may yield harm populations.ObjectiveEvaluate use descriptive data representing individual, social, structural variables research relat...

Assessment of internal validity safeguards implemented by researchers has been used to examine the potential reliability evidence generated within a study. These protect against systematic error, and such an assessment traditionally called quality assessment. When results are translated through some empirical construct risk bias, this termed bias The latter gained popularity is commonly interch...

background: several studies have shown that attentional bias plays a role in the beginning, persistence and relapse of substance abuse disorder. therefore, identifying the factors related to attentional bias in substance abusers is important. in so doing, the present study was aimed at examining the relationship between attentional bias, anxiety sensitivity and metacognitive beliefs in substanc...
