This study examined the relationships between posttraumatic growth (PTG) and depreciation (PTD) across 10 countries assessed factorial invariance of standardized inventory assessing PTG PTD, PTGDI-X, expansion PTGI-X (Tedeschi et al., 2017). We also investigated roles social cognitive factors in PTD. Data were collected from participants who identified that their most stressful life experience ...

Background PtD brings together a range of global stakeholders with expertise in SCM with a mission “to build global and national capacity to implement evidence-based approaches to plan, finance, develop, support, and retain the national workforces needed for the effective, efficient, and sustainable management of health supply chains.” To ensure PtD continues to understand country experiences, ...

The Policy Functional Area includes internal and external initiatives that are intended to integrate Prevention through Design (PtD) into business and governmental organizations. Research will determine what works best, practice will develop tools and implementation plans, and education will teach those who can implement PtD. Functional areas are not separated by clear and distinct boundaries. ...

Alanine scanning mutagenesis of a recently reported prostate cancer cell-selective Protein Transduction Domain (PTD) was used to assess the specific contribution each residue plays in cell uptake efficiency and cell-selectivity. These studies resulted in the identification of two key residues. Extensive mutagenesis at these key residues generated multiple mutants with significantly improved upt...

We present TIR-PTD spectroscopy, an IR-pump/VIS-probe method for the measurement of IR absorption spectra by means of photothermal deflectometry (PTD) enhanced by total internal reflection (TIR). It overcomes the limitations of IR spectroscopy for the study of opaque samples and allows molecular fingerprinting of IR-active liquids or solids. Another important advantage of the presented approach...

Current knowledge on the participation of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) in the inflammatory process and on the importance of bacterial endotoxins (LPS) in the induction of preterm delivery (PTD) led us to investigate the role of Ang-2/LPS interplay in the pathogenesis of PTD. At a first stage, Ang-2 was measured at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy in the serum of 50 women who delivered prem...

BACKGROUND Despite the recognized benefit of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for preventing and treating HIV, some studies have reported adverse birth outcomes with in utero ART exposure. We evaluated the effect of infant in utero HIV and ART exposure on preterm delivery (PTD), low birth weight (LBW), small for gestational age (SGA), and underweight for age (UFA) at 6 weeks. METHODS We surveyed ...
