A Quantitative Review of Certified Burn Therapist's Involvement in the JBCR Publications and ABA Leadership.

The Burn Therapist Certification (BT-C) was introduced in 2018 to acknowledge occupational therapists (OT) and physical therapists (PT) with specialized knowledge, skill, and experience in the promotion of quality burn rehabilitation. Currently, BT-Cs make up 11.7% of therapists working in burn rehabilitation (n = 39/333).

[Studies of sleep and therapeutic actions in children and adolescents with craniofacial anomalies].

Objective: To describe the presence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children with craniofacial anomalies (CFA), associate biodemographic characteristics and polygraph variables, and analyze the therapeutic management decided after the sleep study and the evaluation by a multidisciplinary team.

Patients And Method: Retrospective study. Polygraphs were performed on patients aged between 1 month and 19 years with CFA.

Rapid decline in vaccine-boosted neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.

The Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exhibits reduced susceptibility to vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies, requiring a boost to generate protective immunity. We assess the magnitude and short-term durability of neutralizing antibodies after homologous and heterologous boosting with mRNA and Ad26.COV2.

Joint modeling of time-varying HIV exposure and infection for estimation of per-act efficacy in HIV prevention trials.

Objectives: Using the MTN-020/ASPIRE HIV prevention trial as a motivating example, our objective is to construct a joint model for the HIV exposure process through vaginal intercourse and the time to HIV infection in a population of sexually active women. By modeling participants' HIV infection in terms of exposures, rather than time exposed, our aim is to obtain a valid estimate of the per-act efficacy of a preventive intervention.

Methods: Within the context of HIV prevention trials, in which the frequency of sex acts is self-reported periodically by the participants, we model the exposure process of the trial participants with a non-homogeneous Poisson process.

Information Processing in the Brain as Optimal Entropy Transport: A Theoretical Approach.

We consider brain activity from an information theoretic perspective. We analyze the information processing in the brain, considering the optimality of Shannon entropy transport using the Monge-Kantorovich framework. It is proposed that some of these processes satisfy an optimal transport of informational entropy condition.
