Anger, physical activity and depression in patients with coronary heart disease : a dominance and moderation analysis by Ng, Emil Jin Huai

“…However at higher levels of physical activity, the magnitude of the simple effect of anger expression out on depression is greatly reduced. The findings seem to partially support the psychodynamic theory of inward directed anger leading to depression, and also suggest that increasing physical activity may be helpful in reducing the likelihood of depressive outcomes in cardiac patients by moderating the relationship between the propensity to express anger and depression.…”

Vascular tissue engineering: investigation of endothelial cell function by Heng, Jolyn Xiuhui

“…In this study, defined polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers of different fiber diameters were treated with NaOH and adsorbed with gelatin to investigate cell attachment efficiency and growth rate. The findings revealed that gelatin adsorbed surfaces does not favour EC proliferation well and led to performing the next modification which is 1 M NaOH treatment for 4 h, 16 h, and 24 h for the PCL surfaces. 1 M NaOH treatment was first performed to improve the hydrophilicity of PCL. …”

The relationship between self-perceived burden, depression, medication adherence, and health-related quality of life in coronary heart disease patients by Lim, Benjamin Chee Chong

“…Additionally, medication adherence did not mediate the effect of (1) self-perceived burden on physical HRQOL, and (2) self-perceived burden on social HRQOL. These findings suggested that self-perceived burden and depression may be two vital cardiovascular risk factors health-care practitioners could consider during early patient screenings to enhance existing cardiac programmes, which in turn improve cardiac patients’ prognosis and overall quality of life (QOL).…”
