Progressive episodes of recurrent syncope due to postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome truncated by paroxetine: A case report
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by an increased heart rate upon standing, resulting from abnormal autonomic responses that trigger symptoms when transitioning to an upright position. This syndrome predominantly manifests in late adolescence and early adulthood, with a higher prevalence observed in women. It is commonly triggered by viral infections, pregnancy, surgical procedures, or significant psychological str…
Associations between parental protective motivation, behaviors, and child outcomes in allergic diseases: A cross-sectional study based on protection motivation theory
Our findings reveal the relevance of measuring parental protective motivation as captured by the developed PMT scale. It had significant associations with key parental intentions and behaviors in managing childhood atopy. This implies the necessity of refined PMT-based interventions to support outcomes in childhood allergic disease management

The privatization of nature-based tourism resources presents both opportunities and risks for governments and the sites being leased. Based on data collected from three case studies, and using a dynamic system modelling methodology, we identify the …
Epistemic Groundings of Abstraction and Their Cognitive Dimension
In the philosophy of science, abstraction has usually been analyzed in terms of the interface between our experience and the design of our concepts. The often implicit assumption here is that such interface has a definite identifiable and universalizable structure, determining the epistemic correctness of any abstraction. Our claim is that, on the contrary, the epistemic grounding of abstraction should not be reduced to the structural norms of su…
