r. Patients: Adults with return of spontaneous circulation after in-hospital or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between September 2015 and September 2017. A consecutive sample of survivors with sufficient mental status to self-report cardiac arrest and subsequent hospitalization–induced posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (cardiac arrest–induced posttraumatic stress symptomatology) at hospital discharge were included.

linear position transducer. J Strength Cond Res 32(1): 150–161, 2018—The high-handle hexagonal bar deadlift (HHBD), a variation of the conventional deadlift (CD), is said to reduce the lift range of motion, which may change the mechanics of the lift. However, no research has investigated this. This study compared the mechanics between a 1 repetition maximum (1RM) CD and HHBD. Thirty-one strength-trained subjects (21 men, 10 women) completed a 1RM CD and HHBD. A linear position transducer ...| LWW
. This study also aimed to identify which physical variables improve functional outcomes after toe transfer. Methods: Seventy-five patients with 126 toe transfers were enrolled from 2015 to 2023 at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Taiwan. The comparison group consisted of 52 patients with 96 digit replantations from the Finger Replantation and Amputation: Challenges in Assessing Impairment, Satisfaction, and Effectiveness (FRANCHISE) study, treated at the same center.

endurance training (e.g., modality, duration, frequency) are detrimental to resistance training outcomes. A meta-analysis of 21 studies was performed with a total of 422 effect sizes (ESs). Criteria for the study included were (a) compare strength training alone to strength plus endurance training (concurrent) or to compare combinations of concurrent training; (b) the outcome measures include at least one measure of strength, power, or hypertrophy; and (c) the data necessary to calculate ESs ...| LWW

Objective We aimed to determine the effect of OMN and VGN dietary patterns and protein distribution (balanced [B] and unbalanced [UB]) in regulating changes in daily myofibrillar protein synthesis rates during a 9-d resistance training intervention. Design Forty healthy, physically-active males and female...| LWW

Toward this end, it is important to empirically demonstrate the relevance of the passive-aggressive personality construct, including demonstrating its association with impaired functioning. Consistent with contemporary emphasis on interpersonal functioning in personality pathology, the current study aims to explore interpersonal problems that are associated with PAPD in a large clinical sample. Before beginning treatment, 240 patients c...| LWW

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted by reviewing the histopathology of 74 skin biopsies of patients with allergic red tattoo reactions. Histopathological findings, such as inflammation patterns, inflammatory cells and pigment depth and color, were semi-quantified with an in-house validated scoring system by 2 independent senior investig...| LWW

Sample validated questionnaires assessing demographic and clinical features, satisfaction, functional outcomes, and quality of life were analyzed using path analysis. Results: Participants were 1736 individuals with lower limb amputation. Overall, 44% of participants reported dissatisfaction with prosthetic device, whereas 37% were dissatisfied with prosthetic service. Low functional mobility was reported by 58% of partici...| LWW

We summarize the academic studies describing how biomedical observations are often misrepresented in the scientific literature through various forms of data embellishment, publication biases favoring initial and positive studies, improper interpretations, and exaggerated conclusions. These misrepresentations also affect biological psychiatry and are spread through mass media documents. Exacerbated competition, hyperspecialization, and the need to obtain funding fo...| LWW

The accuracy of the existing model was assessed by applying it to videos of 30 patients with facial palsy. Qualitative review clearly showed its insufficiency. The model was prone to detect patients’ faces as symmetric, and was unable to detect eye closure. Thus, th...| LWW
