The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed our daily lives. One of the sectors most affected was tourism and travel – and, more specifically, cruises, given the prolonged time passengers spend with others within the small spaces of the cruise ship. While finding well-organised entertainment opportunities on cruises is possible, emergency conditions may cause panic. On such occasions, reactions can be highly stressful or even traumatic. This research explores the events and emotions experienced by passengers duri [...]

In the context of resource depletion and global warming, the energy transition has become a necessity. To provide a basis for analysis and to support countries in this transition, it is necessary to better understand this transition. The creation of a good measurement tool could help. This paper proposes a measure of national resilience through an analogy to kinetic energy. Preliminary results show that some countries have strong potential for resilience in the energy transition. Inequalities exist and still exist [...]

Interview with Dr. James David Adams. The skin is where pain is sensed and where chronic pain is created. The safest and most effective treatment for pain is topical plant medicines. Chronic pain can be cured with topical plant medicines. Transient receptor potential cation channels in the skin sense pain. Chronic pain involves a pain chemokine cycle. Monoterpenoids and diterpenoids from plants can stop this pain chemokine cycle and cure chronic pain.

People diagnosed with dementia are experts on living with the disease, yet their perspectives are often overlooked in research and practice. The pandemic has amplified health inequities among older adults, but the impact of the pandemic on the lived experience of people living with dementia remains unclear. This qualitative study used a series of 2 virtual focus groups with people living with dementia (N = 7) to explore challenging situations and emotions experienced by community-dwelling people living with dementi [...]

Partial deletion of 10p is a rare disorder. Common features of this disorder include intellectual disability, developmental delay, dysmorphic features, hypoparathyroidism, deafness, and renal anomalies, but the phenotypes can vary between patients. We report an infant girl presented with global developmental delay, distinctive facial features with cleft lip, congenital exotropia, laryngomalacia, atrial septal defect, and sensorineural hearing loss. 46, XX, del (10p→ter) was observed on the G-banded analysis. A chro [...]

This prospective study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of OLP and untreated hepatitis virus infection in patients who visited dental clinics in Ehime prefecture, in western Japan. Methods: Patients who visited 35 dental clinics in Japan from March 2018 to June 2 [...]

Secondary hypogammaglobulinemia (HGG) from immunosuppression therapy in lung transplant recipients has been associated with increased mortality, morbidity and higher risk of infection. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) for the treatment of HGG post-lung transplant is not well studied with conflicting evidence regarding efficacy. This single-center, retrospective cohort study analyzed adult lung transplant recipients with HGG receiving ≥1 dose of IVIG 0.3-0.5 g/kg. Resolution of HGG (IgG > 600 mg/dL wi [...]
