Several factors influence the onset of acute aortic dissection (AAD). However, few studies have examined AAD onset, weather conditions, and meteorological factors in Japan. This study aimed to identify meteorological factors associated with the onset of AAD in Japan. In this self-controlled study, patients diagnosed with AAD onset from May 1, 2012, to April 30, 2021, at Shizuoka City Shizuoka Hospital (Shizuoka, Japan) were included. Читать дальше...

by Yucai Wang, Wei Chang, Jingjiao Li, Cuilei Yang

With the increasing amount of data in railway communication system, the conventional wireless high-frequency communication technology cannot meet the requirements of modern communication and needs to be improved. In order to meet the requirements of high-speed signal processing, a high-speed communication signal processing method based on visible light is developed and studied. This method combines the adaptive equalization algorithm with... Читать дальше...

Evaluating the validity and reliability of the Tswana adaptation of the MOS-HIV tool for health-related quality of life among HIV Sub-populations in Botswana: A study protocol

by Mooketsi Molefi, Olanrewaju Oladimeji

The lack of culturally and contextually appropriate adaptations of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) tools hinders HIV patient outcomes. This study aims to assess the validity and reliability of a Tswana version of the Medical Outcome Survey-HIV (MOS-HIV) tool among diverse HIV sub-populations in Botswana. In terms of the methodology the study will comprise of several steps. Firstly, forward and back-translation of the original U.S. English MOS-HIV tool into Setswana... Читать дальше...

Variance in odds ratios for estimating the deterrent effect of darkness on cycling: Variation due to the choice of case and control hours

Comparing the counts of cyclists travelling at specific times of day is one approach to measuring the impact of ambient light level. Here we investigate one source of variance in the magnitude of change seen in previous research—the choice of case and control hour. This was done through an analysis of cyclist flows using data from multiple automated cyclist counters in five cities (Arlington, Bergen, Berlin, Birmingham and Leeds) to... Читать дальше...

Precision and temporal dynamics in heading perception assessed by continuous psychophysics

Plos.org 
En

by Björn Jörges, Ambika Bansal, Laurence R. Harris

It is a well-established finding that more informative optic flow (e.g., faster, denser, or presented over a larger portion of the visual field) yields decreased variability in heading judgements. Current models of heading perception further predict faster processing under such circumstances, which has, however, not been supported empirically so far. In this study, we validate a novel continuous psychophysics paradigm by replicating the effect... Читать дальше...

Editors-in-chief publishing in dental journals: Concerns in self-publishing

Plos.org 
En

by Elina Nourmand, Rachel Swed, Rafael Delgado-Ruiz, Georgios Romanos

Editors-in-chief (EICs) have a significant amount of control over the publications that are accepted in their journals, which may result in ethical predicaments. This study investigates the potential conflict of interest of EICs from various dental journals by quantifying the number of their self-published articles during their years as EIC. Based on representation across many dental disciplines and high impact factors... Читать дальше...

Analysis on the impact of internet use on residents’ tourism consumption behavior and the mechanism of action

by Xiankai Lei, Dongmei Yang

Tourism consumption as a typical representative of service consumption, has strong comprehensiveness and driving force, continuously expanding new consumption upgrade space. In the context of the digital economy, the development of the mobile internet has opened up new opportunities for the tourism industry acting as an important factor influencing the consumer behaviour of the residents. Based on 9007 resident survey data from the China General Social Survey (CGSS) in 2017... Читать дальше...

Differential associations between experiences of contraceptive care and subsequent contraceptive access and preferences among family planning patients by racial and ethnic identity: Evidence from Arizona, Iowa, and Wisconsin

En

by Megan L. Kavanaugh, Madeleine Haas, Ayana Douglas-Hall

While many frameworks exist for building person-centered and equitable systems of contraceptive care, evidence indicates that the reality of patients’ experiences of care is often not in alignment with these ideals. Historical and current contexts of racism in the healthcare system contribute to negative perceptions and experiences of care, as well as reduced care-seeking behavior, for those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC).

by Laura Diaz Hernandez, Roland Fischer, Andreas Zeller

Health promotion and disease prevention are crucial for improving public health and alleviating the burden of illness in the population. This study aimed to investigate, the sources of health information most used and trusted, and the health topics most searched, by means of a nationwide cross-sectional online survey of a representative sample of the adult Swiss general population. Overall, complete surveys of 2020 participants were analysed (mean age 47 years old... Читать дальше...
