Inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress using 4-phenyl butyrate mitigates osteoporosis in a mouse model of hindlimb suspension by Al-Daghestani, Hiba Saad Subhi

“…The tibiae bones of the untreated HLS group demonstrated lower osteocyte density, numerous multinucleated osteoclast-like cells, and adipocyte infiltration within the marrow, while micro-CT revealed lower bone volume fraction, reduced trabecular thickness, along with fewer trabeculae striations with increased trabecular separation. …”

The development of empathy in the healthcare setting: a qualitative approach by Yu, Chou Chuen, Tan, Laurence, Le, Mai Khanh, Tang, Bernard, Liaw, Sok Ying, Tierney, Tanya, Ho, Yun Ying, Lim, Evelyn Beng Eng, Lim, Daphne, Ng, Reuben, Chia, Siew Chin, Low, James Alvin

“…These could be further categorized into three groups based on the stability of their impact on the individuals’ empathy state, contributed by high, medium, or low stability factors. Findings suggest empathy is more trait-like and stable in nature but is also susceptible to fluctuation depending on the circumstances faced by healthcare professionals. …”
