Biomechanical Contributions to Alterations in Peak Metabolic Capacity and Efficiency Following Locomotor Training in Individuals After Stroke

Abstract Importance Changes in peak metabolic capacity (Vo2peak) and gait efficiency at matched speeds (Vo2match) are often observed in individuals after stroke following locomotor training, although it is uncertain how those changes are achieved. Objective The objective of this...

Reproducibility, Replicability, and Research Quality in Homogeneous Catalysis

Abstract Researchers from all sectors of homogeneous catalysis convened in response to concerns regarding reproducibility in science to analyze the issue and provide recommendations. In addition to an in-person workshop, the group engaged the broader homogeneous catalysis communi...

Prevalence and Characteristics of Mental Health Interventions Following Pediatric Hospitalization

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: As survival after pediatric critical illness improves, attention has shifted to post-intensive care syndrome and the long-term mental health of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) survivors, who have high rates of posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and dep...

Pediatrician Burnout Over Time: 2021–2025

OBJECTIVE Utilize a longitudinal study to examine over time whether (1) burnout has decreased since it peaked during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021; (2) patterns are similar across pediatrician characteristics; and (3) changes in work and personal characteristics are linked to dec...

Comparison of Surgeon Expectations to Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Open Carpal Tunnel Release

Background: Open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) is an effective surgical treatment option for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This study evaluates hand surgeon expectations of postoperative recovery versus patient-reported outcomes following OCTR through Patient-Reported Outcomes Mea...

Continued high mortality following diagnosis of HIV-associated Kaposi sarcoma in East Africa in the “Treat All” antiretroviral therapy era ― 2021-2024

Abstract Background Stage at time of diagnosis and survival after diagnosis are critical parameters regarding control of any cancer in any geographical setting. In earlier research focusing on the initial years of the “Treat All” era (2016-2019), we found that HIV-associated Kapo...

Histoplasmosis in Pregnancy: A Review and Patient Perspective

Abstract Histoplasmosis is rarely diagnosed in pregnancy, though when disseminated it may infect the infant as well. Decisions regarding antifungal therapy in pregnant women can be difficult due to known toxicity risks and lack of rigorous study. Here we review the published lite...

Rural and Small Libraries as Social Service Hubs: Types, Scope, and Challenges

This study examines social service delivery in rural public libraries through a mixed-method design combining qualitative interviews and a national survey of rural libraries. Findings reveal 36 distinct services organized into three categories: Core Social Services, Supportive So...

Gene flow, kinship, and source population assignment in Chrysomya blow flies

Abstract Blow flies of the genus Chrysomya are among the earliest colonizers of human remains and are important forensic indicators in Africa and the Middle East. However, the population genetic structure of Old World Chrysomya species in North Africa remains poorly understood. W...

Counting fluorescent emitters with a single photon avalanche diode array

For decades, the photon counting histogram (PCH) was used as the sole method to quantify fluorophore numbers in a diffraction-limited focal volume. This technique combines spatial excitation profiles, and the distribution of photon counts to register the photon emission statistic...

Distinctive properties of the prion protein in the brain and retina in the amyloidosis associated with the PRNP F198S mutation

Abstract Prion protein (PrP) deposits in the form of diffuse and cored plaques occur in most gray matter areas of the brain of individuals affected by Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease (GSS) associated with the F198S mutation in PRNP; however, the PrP deposits in the retina...

Agentic or Experiencer? The Nonhuman Action in Ecofiction

The nonhuman has been widely studied in the humanities and social sciences (Cohen & Lemenager, 2016). While its meaning varies among disciplines and contexts, in literary studies the term nonhuman generally encompasses “plants, animals, spirits, gods, and, more recently, machines...

Closing the Value-Voice Disconnect: Operational Pointers for Healthcare Governance

The Value-Voice Disconnect is the gap between what hospital administration can count, meaning cost, throughput and measurable output, and what clinicians know from the bedside, which is contextual and largely uncounted. Naming the gap has not closed it. This paper turns the conce...

Development and Reliability Testing of the Sinonasal Assessment of Reepithelialization, a Novel Wound Healing Scale to Assess Postoperative Healing

ABSTRACT Background Sinus and skull base surgery create areas of demucosalized bone and cartilage in the sinonasal cavity, yet no standardized system exists to describe the progressive healing of these wounds. The goal of this study was to develop the novel Sinonasal Assessment o...

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia: Recent Updates in Its Prevalence and Diagnosis

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder characterized by dysfunction of motile cilia throughout the body. Within the upper and lower airways, this ciliary dysfunction results in impaired mucociliary clearance. Leading to chronic, progressive respiratory disease cul...
