Long-term cognitive and affective consequences of mild traumatic brain injury: comparison with older adults.

Objective: Memory and affective processing were compared in young adults with a remote mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), to healthy younger and older adults. We evaluated memory performance when encoding was done under multi-tasking (divided attention) conditions, likely to exacerbate cognitive and psychological symptoms in mTBI.

Methods: Participants studied pairs of unrelated words under either full or divided attention conditions.

Same-day discharge robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy: feasibility, safety and patient experience.

Objectives: To report a single centre's experience of the feasibility, safety and patient acceptability of same-day discharge robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP).

Subjects/patients And Methods: Between June 2015 and December 2021, a total of 180 pre-selected consecutive patients underwent RALP with the intention to discharge on the same day as surgery. Cases were performed by two surgeons.

Moving Toward a More Comprehensive Analysis of Acceleration Profiles in Elite Youth Football.

In football, having greater acceleration ability may decide the most important moments within matches. Up to now, commonly used acceleration variables have typically been investigated in isolation, with each variable suffering from unique limitations. Subsequently, any findings may provide a limited representation of what specific acceleration demands had actually occurred.

How US newspapers view the UK's NHS: a study in international lesson-drawing.

Healthcare on both sides of the Atlantic is a highly charged political and economic subject. This work considers US media coverage of the UK's National Health Service (NHS), an under-researched area. We assess the framing of the NHS in editorials, opinion and feature articles during the time of the Obama administration to show how media can perform the role of lesson-drawing, a theory adopted from public policy research.

Environmental degradation, economic growth and tourism development in Chinese regions.

Tourism development is recognised as an essential tool in promoting economic growth; however, it may also contribute to environmental degradation. Increased pressure for reducing CO emissions poses new challenges to policy-makers who try to promote economic growth and environmental protection in tandem. Since 2010, 19 scenic areas in China have been declared as low-carbon tourism demonstration zones.

Validity of Session Rating of Perceived Exertion Assessed via the CR100 Scale to Track Internal Load in Elite Youth Football Players.

Purpose: To assess the convergent validity of the Borg CR100® scale to track internal training load (TL) in youth football players.

Methods: A total of 19 youth football players (age = 15 [1] y, height = 175.9 [12.

One Climate or Many: Examining the Structural Distinctiveness of Safety, Health, and Stress Prevention Climate Measures.

Objective: This study explores the structural distinctiveness of safety, health, and stress prevention climate scales and examines whether these measures predict safety, physical health, and mental health outcomes over time.

Methods: We obtained samples of university students, Amazon Mechanical Turk workers, and firefighters to assess the dimensionality of the three climate foci, and provide content, construct, and criterion validity of the three measures.

Results: Findings from our study suggest that the constructs of safety, health, and stress prevention climate are psychometrically distinct, as well as demonstrate content, construct, and criterion validity evidence.

PTEN loss and activation of K-RAS and β-catenin cooperate to accelerate prostate tumourigenesis.

Aberrant phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and WNT signalling are emerging as key events in the multistep nature of prostate tumourigenesis and progression. Here, we report a compound prostate cancer murine model in which these signalling pathways cooperate to produce a more aggressive prostate cancer phenotype. Using Cre-LoxP technology and the probasin promoter, we combined the loss of Pten (Pten ), to activate the PI3K signalling pathway, with either dominant stabilized β-catenin [Catnb ] or activated K-RAS (K-Ras ) to aberrantly activate WNT and MAPK signalling, respectively.

Steroids, drugs and stuttering priapism; the rock-and-roll lifestyle of a 24-year-old man.

The authors present a case of a 24-year-old, poorly controlled insulin-dependent type 1 diabetic Caucasian man who presented to the emergency department, with a painful erection of 36 h duration that had failed to resolve with conservative management. This was the patient's seventh priapism, with his most recent attendance 1 week previously for which he underwent a distal cavernosal shunt. He admitted to taking several recreational drugs, including marijuana and cocaine, during the preceding few days, in addition to the long-term use of the oral anabolic steroid oxandrolone.

Management of lower urinary tract symptoms in men.

Lower urinary tract symptoms in men are common, increase with age and can become bothersome, causing significant morbidity such as urinary retention or the need for surgery. This article outlines how to assess a man with lower urinary tract symptoms and when to refer to a specialist, and summarizes current treatment options.

Ethylene in organic synthesis. Repetitive hydrovinylation of alkenes for highly enantioselective syntheses of pseudopterosins.

In this report we highlight the significant potential of ethylene as a reagent for the introduction of a vinyl group with excellent stereoselectivity at three different stages in the synthesis of a broad class of natural products, best exemplified by syntheses of pseudopterosins. The late-stage applications of the asymmetric hydrovinylation reaction further illustrate the compatibility of the catalyst with complex functional groups. We also show that, depending on the choice of the catalyst, it is possible to either enhance or even completely reverse the inherent diastereoselectivity in the reactions of advanced chiral intermediates.

Radial scar lesions of the breast diagnosed by needle core biopsy: analysis of cases containing occult malignancy.

Aim: To identify and review cases of false negative needle core biopsy (NCB) in the preoperative investigation of radial scar/complex sclerosing lesion (RS/CSL) lesions - that is, benign NCB from RS/CSL which contained malignancy on excision.

Methods And Results: A total of 11 false negative NCB in RS/CSL lesions from 281 (3.9%) were identified (6 cases: B1, 2 cases: B2 and 3 cases: B3).
