CONTEXT: Because medical education is known to be demanding and stressful, Case Western Reserve University developed a programme which included a wellness elective which focused on stress reduction and personal wellness. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to explore students' perceptions of medical school stress and to assess their perspective on the wellness elective. SUBJECTS: The essays of 60 medical students enrolled in the wellness elective were used. METHODS: The essays were analyse

The risk of internet addiction was associated with cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, drug abuse, and sexual intercourse experience among Korean adolescents.

A high CVD risk is associated with impaired HRQoL. After adjustment for demographic and clinical factors, a 10-year CVD risk ≥20.0% is an independent predictor of impaired HRQoL in the general population; in particular, of mobility problems in men, and of mobility, self-care, and usual activity problems in women.

Eight kinds of phenolic acid conjugated chitooligosaccharides (COSs) were synthesized using hydroxyl benzoic acid and hydroxyl cinnamic acid. These phenolic acid conjugated-COSs with different substitution groups, including p-hydroxyl, 3,4-dihydroxyl, 3-methoxyl-4-hydroxyl and 3,5-dimethoxyl-4-hydroxy groups, were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against β-site amyloid precursor protein (APP)-cleaving enzyme (BACE) and inhibited BACE with a ratio of 50.8%, 74.8%, 62.1%, 64.8% and 42.6%,

In a representative sample of Korean women, coffee consumption was significantly associated with a decreased risk of renal impairment especially in middle and elderly-aged diabetic women.

BACKGROUND: Stomach cancer is one the most common neoplasms with high mortality. However, fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in stomach cancer survivors has been scarcely evaluated. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate FCR and factors related to FCR in Korean stomach cancer survivors. METHODS: A total of 363 stomach cancer survivors who had completed primary treatment and had no metastasis or recurrence were recruited between September 2014 and March 2017 regardless of time lapse after the i

With the early detection of cancer and advances in cancer treatment, the number of cancer survivors is increasing dramatically and is currently over 1 million. Many cancer survivors face lifetime risks associated with their cancer therapy, with a significant proportion at risk for serious morbidity and premature mortality. The long-term physical and psychosocial effects of cancer treatment on cancer survivors and their families are increasingly being recognized as emerging problems from both cli

Periodontal disease is significantly associated with smoking status in Korean adults.

Cerebrovascular disease, arthritis, and especially fear of falls were significantly associated with UI in elderly Korean women.

Abstract The search continues for improved therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia ( a LL), the most common malignancy in children. Recently, d , l -methadone was put forth as sensitizer for a LL chemotherapy. However, the specific target of d , l -methadone in leukemic cells and the mechanism by which it induces leukemic cell apoptosis remain to be defined. Here, we demonstrate that d , l -methadone induces leukemic cell apoptosis through activation of the mu1 subtype of opioid receptors (OPRM
