The great majority of workplace respirator efficacy studies have measured total inward leakage (TIL) for particulate contaminants. One of the first such studies, designated the Harris study, was conducted in the early 1970s in US underground coal mines. As in other particle-based studies, inside-the-facepiece dust samp…

Sequencing of the entire exome or genome is increasingly used in clinical practice. Debate continues, however, regarding which incidental findings (IFs) should be returned and who should be involved in those decisions. Previous empirical research regarding stakeholder attitudes to the return of IFs has primarily involv…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to provide an empirical basis for considering in-service training, tenure prolongation and continuing education as methods for enhancing nursing performance. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: A self-reported questionnaire was used to collect data from 532 nurses, who were selected usin…

Drawing on the Social Exchange Theory and Conservation of Resources Theory, first, we found from a study that included three online vignette experiments (Study…

Positive controls have often been used in nonclinical and clinical cardiovascular safety studies to evaluate the study's assay sensitivity with respect to drug-induced prolongation of the QT interval of the electrocardiogram (ECG).
