Growing up without the fundamental human right to free movement and participation in sports activities enabled students t…

A longitudinal study was performed, which measured the soft tissue around implants following surgery, to determine if a predictable pattern of soft tissue changes could be identified. This study evaluated 63 implants in 11 patients. Baseline measurements were recorded at stage 2 surgery in 2-stage implant systems, and…

BACKGROUND: The Tottori study group, part of the JCS, presides over a community-based cohort study started when subjects-children living in Tottori City-were 5 years old. The social aspects of conducting a cohort study should also be made public, as this information is crucial for conducting community-based cohort stud…

OBJECTIVE: Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) analysis of the human cervix is valuable for predicting spontaneous preterm birth risk. However, this approach currently requires an offline processing step wherein a medically trained analyst manually draws a free-hand field of interest (Manual FOI) for QUS computation. This of…

INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Self-assessment examinations (SAEs) help trainees assess their progress in education. SAEs also provide feedback to training programs as to how factors in training influence examination performance. This study's goal was to examine the relationship between the number of months of training in electrod…

BACKGROUND: Effective participant recruitment strategies are crucial to the success of research studies. A targeted, well-designed recruitment plan provides researchers with a rich bed of information to fully explore research questions and achieve statistically significant responses. AIM: To discuss the importance and…

The most recent review of the workplace prevention literature was published two decades ago. Since then, interest has been growing in the business and research communities in preventive workplace interventions. At the same time, there has been an increasing recognition of the complexity of developing workplace interven…

This study investigated the nature of the association between spatial ability and prosocial behaviour in middle childhood. We used a general-population longitudinal survey from the United Kingdom, which allowed us to control for a wide range of area, family and child covariates, including early verbal ability and paren…

We provide a reappraisal of Tal and Wansink's study "Blinded with Science", where seemingly trivial charts were shown to increase belief in drug efficacy, presumably because charts are associated with science. Through a series of four replications conducted on two crowdsourcing platforms, we investigate an alternative…

What happens to the land cover within the hinterland's altitudinal belts while Central Andean cities are undergoing globalization and urban restructuring? What conclusions can be drawn about changes in human land use? By incorporating a regional altitudinal zonation model, direct field observations and GIS analyses of…

BACKGROUND: Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element that is involved in several pathophysiological functions. The relationship of Se with cardiovascular disease remains inconclusive, especially regarding the role of different selenospecies. OBJECTIVE: The present study assessed the levels of Se distribution in pla…

BACKGROUND: Measurement error must always be considered when planning a research project and interpreting its results. The accuracy of some data collected during a study can often be confidently assured, but more than one measurement or observer is needed to assess exposure and outcomes status in cases where clinical m…

BACKGROUND: Studies that have focused on the mitochondrial electron transport chain indicate that bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with pathology in mitochondrial function. These pathological processes occur in the brain circuits that regulate affective functions, emotions, and motor behaviors. The present study aim…

The human voice is an essential communication tool, but various disorders and habits can disrupt it. Diagnosis of pathological and abnormal voices is very important. Conventional diagnosis of these voice pathologies can be invasive and costly. Voice pathology disorders can be effectively detected using Artificial Intel…
