Data are presented from a recent longitudinal study of dietary habits of English children aged 11-13 y, in relation to various factors which may have influenced the estimations of intake. A knowledge of such relationships may aid the design and interpretation of this and other dietary surveys. The factors studied inclu…

In the field of geriatric orthopedics, the correlation between Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) assessment and postoperative outcomes in elderly trimalleolar fracture patients remains a critical area of investigation. The retrospective study by Zhou et al. examines this relationship through postoperative complication analy…

BACKGROUND: Replication study is a commonly used verification method to filter out false positives in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). If an association can be confirmed in a replication study, it will have a high confidence to be true positive. To design a replication study, traditional approaches calculate pow…

This paper reports findings from a study that investigated infant care practices in a small population of Northeast England in order to determine whether parent-infant bedsharing is common parenting behavior. In a year-long prospective study we examined the opinions and practices of parents with regard to their infants…

The strong differences in manifestation, prevalence, and incidence in dyslexia across languages invite studies in specific writing systems. In particular, the question of the role played by emergent literacy in opaque and transparent writing systems remains a fraught one. This research project tested, through a 4-year…

Breaking free of pre-existing assumptions to achieve transformative change in care delivery remains challenging. This article presents a care process framework using a rapid task analysis tested with healthcare teams across five communities in British Columbia, Canada, to provide leaders a novel and practical approach…

Training machine learning models for artificial intelligence (AI) applications in pathology often requires extensive annotation by human experts, but there is little guidance on the subject. In this work, we aimed to describe our experience and provide a simple, useful, and practical guide addressing annotation strateg…

In 62 volunteers it was studied, whether an alternating 3 Hz magnetic field (induction 0.1 mT) vertically applied to the head over a period of 20 min causes changes in EEG parameters. The study's design was a random crossover controlled, blind one. The field was generated by a Helmholtz coils arrangement. The occipital…

Matte-Blanco's theory reformulates the Freudian unconscious from the perspective of mathematical set theory, pointing to symmetric logic as the distinctive mark of the unconscious.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study comprises 52 patients with postoperative endophthalmitis treated with the same protocol in 1996 and 1997. Patients were gi…

The concentration-QTc (C-QTc) analysis is often applied in the first-in-human (FIH) study to demonstrate the absence of a QTc effect in support of a TQT waiver. However, a C-QTc analysis without properly designed sensitivity could fail to conclude the absence of a QTc effect at high concentrations, even though the comp…

INTRODUCTION: In a social context supportive of patient engagement throughout society, many scientific claims are in favour of developing patient engagement in medical education. However, few studies have objectively investigated current practices and the obstacles to patient engagement from the point of view of medica…
