Current epidemiologic evidence is demonstrating that the COVID-19 prognosis is significantly influenced by its acute complications. Among these, delirium figures as one of the most frequent and severe, especially in th...

Several publications with health care professionals such as psychotherapists have shown a significant difference in personality styles in practitioners using hypnosis compared to those not using hypnosis. In order to investigate differences in personality styles, dentists were contacted to participate in a personality-inventory-(PSDI)-online -survey. Hypnosis using dentists (HYP DGZH) (n=418) were compared to dentists not using hypnosis (NONHYP DENT) (n=162). Results show that hypnosis practicin...

Natural disasters like pandemic outbreaks and man-made disasters like pollution emissions are very frequent in the current times, which also influenced the economic growth, where the institutes could play a primary role in economic growth stimulation. This study aims to analyze the association of public health expenditures, institutional quality, renewable energy, and economic pe...

This article aims to elaborate on the spatial factors fostering or hampering the embedding of Urban Circularity Practices (UCPs) in the Brussels Capital Region (BCR). The article thus addresses the following set of questions: What do circularity ambitions imply at the urban scale and what is the landscape of practices aimed at re...

Existing literature indicates that parenting styles affect the development of cyber aggression in offspring differently, depending on children gender. The present study investigates whether mothers’ and fathers’ parenting styles show similar gender differences in their associations with a new form of dating violence: cyber dating abuse (CDA). The limited evidence on the issue focuses on the relation that each parenting style has with CDA perpetration, without considering CDA victimization no...

Children recover faster than adults in repeated sprints, but it is unclear if their aerobic responses differ. Purpose: This study tested the hypothesis that aerobic response (VO2) during repeated sprints is greater in preadolescent boys than in men. Further, this study compared normalization with conventional ratio-scaling and scaling with the use of body mass as a covariate. Methods: Nine boys (age: 11.8 ± 0.6 years, swimmers) and 11 men (age: 21.7 ± 0.6 years, recreational athletes) ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke affect over 92 million Americans and account for nearly 1 out of 3 deaths in the US. The use of animal models in cardiovascular research has led to considerable advances in treatment and in our understanding of the pathophysiology of many CVDs. Still, animals may not fully recapitulate human disease states; species differences have long been postulated to be one of the main reasons for a failure of translation between animals and humans in drug discovery a...
