The molecular characteristics and rheological properties of three UHMWPE samples were investigated. The high-temperature GPC method was used for characterizing UHMWPE samples used. The interpretation of the measurement results was based on calibration using the PS standard and the approximation of the PS data by linear and cubic polynomials, as well as on the data for linear PE.

Here we explore the psychometric properties and targeting of the New General Self Efficacy Scale (NGSES) using Rasch analysis in data collected from older adult clinical trial participants with low vision.
Methods: Participants (n = 121) completed pre-intervention telephone questionnaires (i.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate whether higher scores on a knowledge test about blood transfusions are linked to more appropriate transfusion orders among healthcare providers.
- Participants included postgraduate trainees and faculty who had recently prescribed transfusions, and their knowledge was assessed using an online questionnaire.
- Results showed that while transfusion order appropriateness was high at 90.7%, there was a very weak correlation between knowledge test scores and order appropriateness, suggesting that other factors influence effective transfusion practices.*
Background And Purpose: Anemia is common in locally advanced cervical cancer. Clinical practice varies greatly for management of anemia during brachytherapy, with some centres providing red cell transfusion to increase hemoglobin levels above 100 g/L.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective observational cohort study of adult patients with cervical cancer treated with brachytherapy at two academic hospitals.
