Career Performance Progressions of Junior and Senior Elite Track and Field AthletesAbstractPurposeTo compare and assess differences in the career performance progressions of elite junior and Olympic track and field athletes.MethodsAnnual best performances from top 8 men and women (e.g. finalists) in track and field events at the 2000 World Junior Championships (junior cohort) and the 2000 Olympic Games (Olympic cohort) were examined. Annual bests of these finalists were tracked each year from select...
Endoscopic Management of Tympanic Membrane Retraction Pockets: A Two Handed Technique with Endoscope HolderAbstractThe tympanic membrane retraction pocket is a pathological invagination of tympanic membrane into the middle ear space. The most common sites for formation of retraction pocket are pars flaccida and postero-superior parts. Decision about the procedure and the timing of the treatment of retraction pockets is debatable and depends on the functional and anatomic condition of the ear. To...
Patient and Physician Perspectives on Treating Tobacco Dependence in Hospitalized Smokers With Substance Use Disorders: A Mixed Methods StudyObjective: Individuals with substance use disorders have a high prevalence of smoking cigarettes. Hospitalization represents an opportunity to deliver concurrent treatment for tobacco and other substances. Using a sequential explanatory mixed methods design, we characterized practices and perspectives of patients and physicians about smoking cessation counseling...
Multi-frequency Dynamic Weighted Functional Connectivity Networks for Schizophrenia DiagnosisAbstractFrequency-specific functional connectivity (FC) networks based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) have been successfully applied to the analysis and diagnosis of various mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia. However, most of the existing frequency-specific FC studies just focus on investigating the static temporal properties of FC networks, ignoring the important dynamic...
Correction to: Two-handed tying technique in vocal fold mucosa microsuture for the treatment of Reinke's edemaIn the original publication, the patient number was incorrectly published under the "Methods" heading in the abstract section. The incorrect sentence reads as "55 patients with Reinke's edema, who were admitted from November 2010 to June 2018, were enrolled as research subjects for the retrospective analysis."Response to: Oral cancer of Sigmund FreudIn reply to Swain et al.: Re-evaluation...
Altered Biodistribution and Tissue Retention of Nanoparticles Targeted with P-Glycoprotein SubstratesAbstractLow molecular weight substrates of the efflux transporter, P-glycoprotein, alter the biodistribution and tissue retention of nanoparticles following intravenous administration. Of particular interest is the retention of the targeted nanoparticles in the brain. Drug delivery to the brain is hindered by the restricted transport of drugs through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Drugs that passively...
Targeting the Most Harmful Co-Offenders in Denmark: a Social Network Analysis ApproachAbstractResearch QuestionIs there a 'power few' individuals in Denmark who, through consistent co-offending, produce the highest frequency of crimes and the most harm to society amongst all co-offenders?DataWe analysed official statistics from the Police Crime Case Management System in Denmark on all 437,717 charges for violations of the Danish Criminal Code, the Illegal Substances Act and the Weapons Act, in which...
Vocal Dose for Rhythm-Based Indoor Cycling Instructors: With and Without AmplificationThe purpose of this research was to characterize the voice physiology requirements of indoor cycling instructors as measured by vocal dose (distance the vocal folds travel and average voice intensity) and perceived phonatory effort with and without amplification. Using a within-participant repeated measures design, eight rhythm-based cycling instructors were consented and scheduled to teach two ecologically valid...
A Genome‐wide Association Study of Prostate Cancer in LatinosLatinos represent less than 1% of samples analyzed to date in genome‐wide association studies of cancer. The clinical value of genetic information in guiding personalized medicine in populations of non‐European ancestry will require additional discovery and risk locus characterization efforts across populations. In the present study, we performed a GWAS of PrCa in 2,820 Latino PrCa cases and 5,293 controls to search for novel PrCa risk...
