Background Rotating shift work can cause abnormalities in their endocrine system. We conducted a meta-analysis to gain a better understanding of the differences between women working rotating shifts and fixed day shifts in menstrual regularity and dysmenorrhea. Methods We searched for studies containing relevant keywords that were published between 1990 and 2019 in the Cochrane Library, EBSCO (including the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature [CINAHL]), MEDLINE, and ProQuest. Data analysis was performed using the software package Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) Version 3.0. Results A total of 14 studies met our selection criteria. The pooled odds ratio (OR) comparing the menstrual irregularity of women working rotating shifts and fixed day shifts was 1.35 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.28-1.42, p less then 0.001). The pooled OR of the women aged 30 years or older was 1.35 (95% CI 1.28-1.42, p less then 0.001); and for the women under 30 years old, the pooled OR was 1.66 (95% CI 1.13-2.44, p = 0.010). The pooled OR comparing the dysmenorrhea occurrence among women working rotating shifts and fixed day shifts was 1.51 (95% CI 0.87-2.62, p = 0.139). The pooled OR of the women aged 30 years or older was 2.35 (95% CI 1.63-3.39, p less then 0.001); and for the women under 30 years old, the pooled OR was 1.20 (95% CI 0.61-2.33, p = 0.601). Conclusions The results indicate that regardless of age, women working rotating shifts were more likely to experience menstrual irregularity than those working fixed day shifts. With regard to dysmenorrhea, among women aged 30 years or older, those working rotating shifts were also more likely to experience dysmenorrhea than those working fixed day shifts.Constituting a significant proportion of lesions treated with transcatheter interventions in the coronary arteries, moderate to severe calcification portends lower procedural success rates, increased periprocedural major adverse events, and unfavorable long-term clinical outcomes compared to non-calcific plaques. Adapted from the lithotripsy technology for treatment of nephrolithiasis, intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a new technique for treatment of severely calcific lesions that uses acoustic shock waves in a balloon-based system to induce fracture in the calcium deposits in order to facilitate luminal gain and stent expansion. Herein, we summarize the physics and characteristics of the currently available IVL system (Shockwave Medical, Santa Clara, CA), the clinical data on IVL use in the coronary arteries, and future directions for adoption of the technique in percutaneous coronary intervention.Fluorescence-detected Fourier transform (FT) spectroscopy is a technique in which the relative paths of an optical interferometer are controlled to excite a material sample, and the ensuing fluorescence is detected as a function of the interferometer path delay and relative phase. A common approach to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio in these experiments is to apply a continuous phase sweep to the relative optical path, and to detect the resulting modulated fluorescence using a phase-sensitive lock-in amplifier. In many important situations, the fluorescence signal is too weak to be measured using a lock-in amplifier, so that photon counting techniques are preferred. Here we introduce an approach to low-signal fluorescence-detected FT spectroscopy, in which individual photon counts are assigned to a modulated interferometer phase ('phase-tagged photon counting,' or PTPC), and the resulting data are processed to construct optical spectra. We studied the fluorescence signals of a molecular sample excited resonantly by a pulsed coherent laser over a range of photon flux and visibility levels. We compare the performance of PTPC to standard lock-in detection methods and establish the range of signal parameters over which meaningful measurements can be carried out. We find that PTPC generally outperforms the lock-in detection method, with the dominant source of measurement uncertainty being associated with the statistics of the finite number of samples of the photon detection rate.This research investigates the electro-optical properties of reverse mode liquid crystal gel (LC-gel) scattering films. The LC-gel has been fabricated through the fibrous self-assembly of the gelator 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid (G12) and mesogen monomer (RM257) in nematic LC HTW106700-100 (HTW). Adding RM257 monomer improves the transparency in the OFF state and enhances scattering effects in the ON state. Moreover, an extremely low switching voltage (∼ 1 V) is demonstrated.Virtual teamwork as a new way of working is becoming increasingly prevalent in a growingly globalized and digitalized working environment. Due to the associated raise in health-related stress factors at the workplace and the central role of leaders in workplace health promotion, the aim of this study is to obtain initial findings on the use of health-oriented self- and employee leadership in virtual teams from the perspective of virtual leaders. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with 13 virtual leaders by using the problem-centered interview method. The collected data were deductively and inductively evaluated and interpreted using the qualitative content analysis according to Mayring. The results show that virtual leaders ascribed great value of health and showed great awareness in health-oriented self- and employee leadership. Physical activity and boundary management were particularly mentioned as health-oriented self-leadership behaviors. The majority of leaders described communication, building trust, support in boundary management and implementation of personal meetings as health-oriented employee leadership behaviors. In addition to social, technical, and personal factors, primarily organizational factors were mentioned as factors of influence in this context. For a more comprehensive understanding of health-oriented leadership, the inclusion of virtual team members in further research studies is necessary.Virus-host cell interactions include several skirmishes between the virus and its host, and the DNA damage response (DDR) network is one of their important battlegrounds. Although some aspects of the DDR are exploited by adenovirus (Ad) to improve virus replication, especially at the early phase of infection, a large body of evidence demonstrates that Ad devotes many of its proteins, including E1B-55K, E4orf3, E4orf4, E4orf6, and core protein VII, and utilizes varied mechanisms to inhibit the DDR. These findings indicate that the DDR would strongly restrict Ad replication if allowed to function efficiently. GPR84 antagonist 8 datasheet Various Ad serotypes inactivate DNA damage sensors, including the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex, DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), and Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1). As a result, these viruses inhibit signaling via DDR transducers, such as the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and ATM- and Rad3-related (ATR) kinases, to downstream effectors. The different Ad serotypes utilize both shared and distinct mechanisms to inhibit various branches of the DDR.
