ObjectivesWe explored the results of fixed point, coincidence point and coupled coincidence point for the mappings in an ordered metric spaces. Our results generalized and extended the well-known results in the literature. Some numerical examples are provided for justifying the results obtained.ResultSome fixed point results are found for a self ma...

ObjectiveCentrally administered estrogen can increase sympathetic nerve activity to brown adipose tissue, resulting in thermogenesis. The central thermogenic effects of estrogen have not been investigated in males. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the effects of peripherally and centrally administered estrogen on thermogenesis, heart rat...

ObjectivePeople with lower levels of health literacy are likely to report engaging in information avoidance. However, health information avoidance has been overlooked in previous research on responses to viral outbreaks. The purpose of this cross-sectional survey study was to assess the relationship between health literacy and COVID-19 information ...

ObjectiveThis study was designed to determine if CEACAM mutations are associated with inherited risk of colorectal cancer. Recently, protein-truncating mutations in the CEACAM gene family were associated with inherited breast cancer risk. That discovery, along with aberrant expression of CEACAM genes in colorectal cancer tumors and that colorectal ...

ObjectivesThe goal of this study was to evaluate the long-term impact of repeated (r) mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) on the healing of fractures in a mouse model. Ten week-old male mice were subjected to r-mTBI once per day for 4 days followed by closed femoral fracture using a three-point bending technique, 1 week post impact and fracture heal...

ObjectivesLow levels of adiponectin have been reported in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). In sub-Saharan Africa, little data are available on the topic. We aimed to investigate the levels of adiponectin and its relation with insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in women with PCOS in Yaoundé, Cameroon. A comparative cross-sectional study was ...

ObjectiveThe study of the circadian clock and its mechanisms is easily facilitated through clock resetting in cell culture. Among the various established synchronizers of the circadian clock in cell culture (temperature, serum shock, glucocorticoids), the artificial glucocorticoid Dexamethasone (DEX) is the most widely used. DEX treatment as a prot...

ObjectivesEmergency Medical Services (EMS) is the first point of service for the people who are in critical condition and in need of urgent health care. In Iran, as in other countries, people in need of emergency services often die or are left with a permanent injury due to the poor EMS-related infrastructure. It has been shown that a detailed exam...
