SOCIAL SUPPORT AS A MEDIATOR BETWEEN SLEEP DISTURBANCES, DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS, AND HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEMODIALYSIS.

Social support as a mediator between sleep disturbances, depressive symptoms, and health-related quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

BackgroundThe hemodialysis regimen is an inevitable and mandatory treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).During the dialysis journey, patients may experience maladaptation in terms of sleep disturbances, depressive symptoms, and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL).Psychosocial resources such as social support may have

Boron-Doping Proximity Effects on Dislocation Generation during Non-Planar MPCVD Homoepitaxial Diamond Growth

Epitaxial lateral growth will be required if complex diamond-based device architecture, such as, for example, Metal-oxide-semiconductor Field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) or epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) substrates, need to be developed for high-power applications.To this end, undoped and doped non-planar homoepitaxial diamond were overgrown o
