Abstract
BACKGROUND Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is determined by multiple factors that include components such as spirituality and religiousness (S/R). Even though various systematic reviews have investigated the association between S/R and improved health outcomes in the most different groups, healthy young individuals are seldom addressed. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between S/R and HRQoL among young, healthy individuals. METHODS Systematic review of papers published in the last ten years and indexed in four academic research databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) and two gray literature databases. Inclusion criteria were studies assessing S/R and HRQoL using validated instruments and assessing healthy adults (i.e., non-clinical patients, not belonging to any specific group of chronic diseases), aged between 18 and 64 years old. RESULTS Ten out of 1,952 studies met the inclusion criteria: nine cross-sectional and one longitudinal cohort study, in which 89% of the participants were college students. Nine studies report a positive association between S/R and HRQoL, while one study did not report any significant association. The main HRQoL domains associated with S/R were the psychological, social relationships, and environment domains, while the S/R most influent facets/components were optimism, inner strength, peace, high control, hope, and happiness. CONCLUSIONS Higher S/R levels among healthy adult individuals were associated with higher HRQoL levels, suggesting the S/R can be an important strategy to deal with adverse environmental situations even among those without chronic diseases, enhancing the wellbeing of individuals. Registration of systematic review: PROSPERO-CRD42018104047.

Abstract
Background The reconstruction of the proximal humerus is possible from the resection of the tumor and the placement of a prosthesis. In some cases, they do not meet the anthropometric aspects of the patients. Objective To determine the parameters to size the components of a humeral prosthesis and the development of a set, using design software. Method Forty patients were selected for prostheses, radiographs and CT scans were analyzed and statistical tests were applied to the measurements. Results The length of the tumors was 8-20 cm. The minimum length of the humerus was 28 cm and 33 cm the maximum. Correlation was observed between the humerus and the tumor and the height of the patient with p = 0.93088 and p = 0.904564, respectively; humerus diameter, p = 0.2345. The set will include three components, diameter 6-10 mm, and length of 24, 26 and 28 cm. Three modular spacers with lengths of 6, 8.5 and 13 cm. Crowns 6.5 and 8.5 cm long, 1.3 cm in diameter and 5 mm nut. Conclusion With the development of the set, poorly calculated resections and adaptation to any humerus size can be resolved.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current discourses about the causes of the overdose crisis largely focus on the harmful effects of drugs. Prior research, however, indicates that drug use experience is shaped by complex interactions of drugs with physiological and mental "sets" of people who use drugs and the wider social and physical "setting." Zinberg's "drug, set, and setting" theoretical framework was applied to identify patterns in circumstances leading up to women's overdose. METHODS In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 29 opioid-injecting street-involved women, clients of a Philadelphia harm reduction program. Qualitative analysis with deductive and inductive coding was utilized to examine transcripts for theory-driven and emerging themes. RESULTS Ten out of 29 women attributed their overdose to "drugs," reporting the unpredictable quality of street opioids, concurrent use of benzodiazepines, or chasing the "high." Thirteen women reported "set" as a type of circumstance where their emotional states were affected by a "good" or "bad" day, leading them to unusual drug consumption practices. Six women described "setting" type of circumstances where their overdose was preceded by a recent change in context, such as release from prison, which prompted unsafe drug use to address physiological or psychological dependence on drugs. CONCLUSION While all overdoses result from the pharmacological action of drugs, some overdoses were triggered by circumstances occurring in women's set or setting. Overdose prevention policies should embrace not only individual-level behavioral interventions, but also structural measures to address stress, social isolation, and risky drug use contexts that plague the lives of street-involved women who inject opioids.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The higher injection pressure obtained with epidural boluses give greater anaesthetic spread, and therefore better sensory block. Therefore, it stands to reason that anaesthetic administered at greater injection pressure and a higher flow rate would spread to a higher sensory level. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to compare the sensory level reached with the high flow. and standard flow set at maximum rates. MATERIAL AND METHODS We included 73 primiparous women who requested epidural analgesia for labour using programmed intermittent epidural boluses of 0.1% ropivacaine at a flow rate of 10ml/h and 2 ug/ml fentanyl plus patient-controlled epidural analgesia. The boluses were administered with a standard (250ml/h) or high-flow (500ml/h) infusion set, according to the usual clinical practice of each anaesthesiologist. The primary objective was to evaluate the sensory level reached. Secondary objectives were pain on a visual analogue scale, motor block measured on the modified Bromage scale, and anaesthesia consumption in terms of rescue analgesia (patient-controlled epidural analgesia) and anaesthesiologist-administered boluses. RESULTS The median maximum sensory level reached was T9 in the high flow group and T7 in the standard flow group; this difference was statistically significant (p=.0002). There were no significant differences in visual analogue scale, Bromage or rescue analgesia between groups. CONCLUSION Our results show that the high flow set does not offer benefits. The use of such sets need to be evaluated due to their higher cost.

Abstract
As a multifunctional protein involved in numerous biological processes, Set is expressed in several embryonic and adult organs. Furthermore, Set is overexpressed in numerous types of human cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. The expression of Set in germ cells is involved in gonad development, and the overexpression of Set has been observed in polycystic ovaries. In order to elucidate the physiological and pathological roles of Set, a Set transgenic mouse model was developed, in which the global overexpression of Set in adult tissues could be induced via the Cre/loxP system with the precise deletion of the Stop fragment in double-transgenic hybrids. This result was then confirmed by genotypical and protein analysis using polymerase chain reaction and bioluminescence imaging. In conclusion, the conditional Set transgenic mice carrying a reporter system were successfully generated. The transgenic mice open a new window for the further investigation of the function of Set using tissue-specific Cre mice and inducible Cre systems.
