Integrating communication dimensions into health models: understanding COVID-19 vaccination through multigroup analysis by Jimena Collantes-Loo, Edgardo R. Bravo

“…This study develops and validates an integrated model of vaccination behavior by combining the Theory of Planned Behavior, the Protection Motivation Theory, and the Structural Influence Model of Health Communication with health communication dimensions.MethodsUsing partial least squares analysis of survey data from 320 U.S. adults, the research examines how message components influence cognitive appraisals (threat and response efficacy) and how this relationship is moderated by information-seeking behavior, information processing ease, and trust in government.ResultsResults confirm the core relationships of the Theory of Planned Behavior in vaccination contexts while revealing a temporal evolution in risk appraisals, with severity and susceptibility showing diminished effects on attitudes. …”

Biomaterials in Postoperative Adhesion Barriers and Uterine Tissue Engineering by Abbas Fazel Anvari-Yazdi, Ildiko Badea, Xiongbiao Chen

“…Natural biopolymers—such as collagen, gelatin, fibrin, silk fibroin, and decellularized extracellular matrices—are discussed alongside polysaccharides, including alginate, chitosan, and carboxymethyl cellulose, focusing on their structural features and biological functionality. Synthetic polymers, including polycaprolactone (PCL), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), are also examined for their tunable degradation profiles (spanning days to months), mechanical robustness, and capacity for drug incorporation. …”
