The perceived value of athlete monitoring systems (AMS) has recently been questioned. Poor perceptions of AMS are important, because where practitioners lack confidence in monitoring their ability to influence programming, and performance is likely diminished. To address this, researchers have primarily sought to improve factors related to monitoring metrics, e.g., validity rather than socio-environmental factors, e.g., buy-in. Seventy-five practitioners (response rate: n  = 30) working with Olympic and Paralympic athletes were invited to take part in a survey about their perceptions of AMS value...

In recent years, there has been a growing trend in the realm of parallel clustering analysis for single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA) and single-cell Assay of Transposase Accessible Chromatin (scATAC) data. However, prevailing methods often treat these two data modalities as equals, neglecting the fact that the scRNA mode holds significantly richer information compared to the scATAC. This disregard hinders the model benefits from the insights derived from multiple modalities, compromising the overall clustering performance...

BACKGROUND: Obliterative vaginal procedures may offer lower perioperative morbidity and equal success rates as reconstructive procedures for frail and elderly women who no longer desire future coital function. The combination of vaginal hysterectomy with either reconstructive or obliterative vaginal procedures has not yet been investigated.

Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most severe clinical manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Notably, the clinical manifestations of LN are not always consistent with the histopathological findings. Therefore, the diagnosis and activity monitoring of this disease are challenging and largely depend on invasive renal biopsy. Renal biopsy has side effects and is associated with the risk of bleeding and infection. There is a growing interest in the development of novel noninvasive biomarkers for LN...

BACKGROUND: Digital contact tracing (DCT) was a central component of the global response to containing COVID-19. Research has raised concerns that DCT could exacerbate inequities, yet the experiences of diverse communities at greater risk from COVID-19 are typically underrepresented. METHODS: The present study aimed to understand the perceived barriers to the adoption of the app amongst Māori, Pasifika, and disabled people. Focus groups and interviews were undertaken with Māori, Pasifika, and disability sector stakeholders and community participants...

Treatment demand for Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) has increased in the past decade in almost all European countries, and CUD is currently the most common reason for first-time drug-related treatment admission in the European Union. Even though several therapeutic approaches have been shown to benefit individuals with CUD, there is a lack of knowledge regarding factors associated with effective therapy and the underlying mechanisms of change among individuals with CUD presenting for treatment. The aim of the present paper was to review current knowledge on factors that have been shown to contribute to positive outcomes in CUD treatment...

The growing number of people aging with HIV represents a group vulnerable to the symptom burdens of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). Among younger groups, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has been shown to help people living with HIV manage HIV-related and other life stress, and although there is some theoretical and empirical evidence that it may be effective among those with cognitive deficits, the approach has not been studied in older populations with HAND. Participants (n = 180) 55 years or older with HIV and cognitive impairment were randomly assigned to either an 8-week MBSR arm or a waitlist control...

The condition known as Plus disease is distinguished by atypical alterations in the retinal vasculature of neonates born prematurely. It has been demonstrated that the diagnosis of Plus disease is subjective and qualitative in nature. The utilization of quantitative methods and computer-based image analysis to enhance the objectivity of Plus disease diagnosis has been extensively established in the literature. This study presents the development of a computer-based image analysis method aimed at automatically distinguishing Plus images from non-Plus images...

BACKGROUND: Vascular calcification (VC) is highly prevalent and predicts cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients. The mechanisms are still unclear. Inflammation is a well-known inducer of VC. YKL-40 has been suggested as a novel biomarker of inflammation and has been demonstrated to be associated with cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between serum YKL-40 and VC in hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS: A total of 109 HD patients and 31 healthy controls were enrolled in the study from September 2014 to December 2014...

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic full-thickness macular hole (iFTMH) closure rates following conventional vitrectomy, gas tamponade and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling decrease when the minimum linear diameter (MLD) ≥ 500 microns. ILM flap creation has been proposed to improve closure in larger holes. This study evaluated the anatomical and functional impact of ILM flap introduction to routine practice in iFTMH ≥500 microns. METHODS: Retrospective, interventional analysis of prospectively collected data of 191 eyes from consecutive surgeries for primary iFTMH ≥500 microns performed by two surgeons between June 2018 and June 2022, during which both surgeons replaced ILM peeling with ILM flap creation...

The use of mobile head CT scanners in the neurointensive care unit (NICU) saves time for patients and NICU staff and can reduce transport-related mishaps, but the reduced image quality of previous mobile scanners has prevented their widespread clinical use. This study compares the image quality of SOMATOM On.Site (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany), a state-of-the-art mobile head CT scanner, and a conventional 64-slice stationary CT scanner. The study included 40 patients who underwent head scans with both mobile and stationary scanners...
