This study aims to identify group patterns in quality of life among lung transplant recipients and examine the predictors associated with quality of life subgroups. Methods: In total…

This can result in care fragmentation, duplication of efforts, increased healthcare cost, long waiting times, and delayed …
Consumer acceptance of dishes in which beef has been partially substituted with mushrooms and sodium has been reduced
Reframing
In this article, we present findings from a larger study that explored how Chinese women cope with breast cancer. We report on the process of early psychological adjustment, along with contextual factors and how they influence the women's coping mechanisms at the beginning of the cancer experience. Twenty-four women with diagnoses of breast cancer were interviewed. The grounded theory method was adopted in data collection and analysis. “Reframing…
Evaluation on Masks with Exhaust Valves and with Exhaust Holes fromPhysiological and Subjective Responses
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of wearing different kinds of masks on the ear canal temperature, heart rate, clothing microclimate, and subjective perception of discomfort. Ten subjects performed intermittent exercise on a treadmill while wearing the protective masks in a climatic chamber controlled at an air temperature of 25 degrees C and a relative humidity of 70%. Two types of mask-mask A, with exhaust valves and mask B,…
