This study aimed to examine the factors affecting the relationship between stress and anxiety in critically ill patients. A cross-sectional research paradigm was employed to enroll patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) of a medical university hospital. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine the data. A total of 90 ICU patients were included in this study; 56 were men and 34 were women. The patients’ mean age was 65.3 years. Only the emotional responses dimension of illness was significantly positively correlated with stress. However, the emotional responses dimension of illness representation, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation system (APACHE) score, age, and education level were significantly positively correlated with anxiety. Nevertheless, treatment control was significantly negatively correlated with anxiety. Overall, illness representations (emotional responses and treatment control), APACHE score, age, and education were important predictors of anxiety, with an explanatory power of 37.9%. We recommend that for clinically relevant practice, besides focusing on ICU patients’ illness representation, attention should also be paid to their individual characteristics, such as differences in age and education levels.

In our initial publication on this subject1) we reported results demonstrating that contrast is the most important factor in producing the high image quality required for reliable image analysis. We also listed the factors which enhance contrast in order of the experimentally determined magnitude of their effect. The two most powerful factors affecting image contrast attainable with sheet film are beam intensity and KV. At that time we had only qualitative evidence for the ranking of enhancing factors. Later we carried out the densitometric measurements which led to the results outlined below.Meaningful evaluations of the cause-effect relationships among the considerable number of variables in preparing EM negatives depend on doing things in a systematic way, varying only one parameter at a time. Unless otherwise noted, we adhered to the following procedure evolved during our comprehensive study:Philips EM-300; 30μ objective aperature; magnification 7000- 12000X, exposure time 1 second, anti-contamination device operating.

Processing polymers from the liquid crystalline state offers several advantages compared to processing from conventional fluids. These include: better axial strength and stiffness in fibers, better planar orientation in films, lower viscosity during processing, low solidification shrinkage of injection moldings (thermotropic processing), and low thermal expansion coefficients. However, the compressive strength of the solid is disappointing. Previous efforts to improve this property have focussed on synthesizing stiffer molecules. The effect of microstructural scale has been overlooked, even though its relevance to the mechanical and physical properties of more traditional materials is well established. By analogy with the behavior of metals and ceramics, one would expect a fine microstructure (i..e. a high density of orientational defects) to be desirable.Also, because much microstructural detail in liquid crystalline polymers occurs on a scale close to the wavelength of light, light is scattered on passing through these materials.
