Memorials and collective memory: A text analysis of online reviews.

Memorials extend beyond their physical constructs, embodying political narratives and influencing collective memory. This study examines how traditional memorials and counter-memorials shape geopolitical storytelling and public sentiment. Through text analysis of over 158,000 online reviews, we compare emotional responses elicited by these memorial types.

Application of a new approach method to assess the hazard of complex legacy contaminated groundwater mixtures on fathead minnows in outdoor mesocosms.

Assessing the environmental risks of contaminated groundwater presents significant challenges due to its often-complex chemical composition and to dynamic processes affecting exposure of organisms in receiving surface waters. The objective of this study was to characterize the effects of groundwater collected from a legacy contaminated industrial site, in fish under environmentally relevant conditions. A 21-day fish short-term reproduction assay was conducted in outdoor wetland mesocosms by exposing adult fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) to graded concentrations of groundwater (1 %, 3 %, and 6 %).

Proof-of-concept testing of a mobile application-delivered mindfulness exercise for emotional eaters: RAIN delivered as a step-by-step image sequence.

Background: Over fifty percent of individuals with overweight and obesity are emotional eaters. Emotional eating can be theorized as a conditioned response to eat for reasons that are not associated with physiological hunger. We conducted this proof-of-concept study to gather evidence that a mobile app that delivers a common non-meditative mindfulness exercise called RAIN, in a step-by-step image sequence can improve emotional eating and other outcomes over a 3-week period.

Politics in Movement Within and Between Cultures.

This article is a response to the insightful pieces written about my beginning attempt of defining and elaborating on a cultural political psychology (Carriere, 2022), of which there were four - Beckstead and Jordan (2023); Busch-Jensen and Røn-Larsen (2023); Mazur (2023a); and Rutherford (2023). Their commentaries were varied in their expansions and thoughts on the work, and each provided a unique perspective on the future of a cultural political psychology. Here, I expand on the points made by each of the authors and synthesize their expansions to look forward to further theoretical elaborations within a cultural political psychology.

Rights for me but not for thee: Restriction of human rights based on group membership and threat perceptions.

Policies aimed at limiting border crossing and influencing other cultural values have been enacted domestically and internationally in the name of security. However, do these decisions concerning such tradeoffs resonate equally across all groups? In two studies, we probe the moderating impact of intergroup threat on the inclination to restrict human rights. In Study 1, we employ a unique economic tradeoff model to directly compare the value of security with the rights of either citizens or non-citizens.

Association between Neurologic Outcomes and Changes of Muscle Mass Measured by Brain Computed Tomography in Neurocritically Ill Patients.

This study aimed to investigate whether skeletal muscle mass estimated via brain computed tomography (CT) could predict neurological outcomes in neurocritically ill patients. This is a retrospective, single-center study. Adult patients admitted to the neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU) from January 2010 to September 2019 were eligible.

Development and Validation of the Four Facet Mindful Eating Scale (FFaMES).

Objectives: Previous mindful eating scales stress the attentional domains of eating-specific mindfulness, such as present-moment attention to homeostatic cues of hunger and satiety while discounting other important domains such as non-judgment and decentering. The purpose of the series of studies was to develop and evaluate a multifaceted mindful eating scale that assesses several domains of eating-specific mindfulness.

Methods: A multistep process was used to construct the Four Facet Mindful Eating Scale (FFaMES).

A New Method for Aortic Valve Planimetry with High-Resolution 3-Dimensional MRI and Its Comparison with Conventional Cine MRI and Echocardiography for Assessing the Severity of Aortic Valvular Stenosis.

Objective: We aimed to compare the aortic valve area (AVA) calculated using fast high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisition with that of the conventional two-dimensional (2D) cine MR technique.

Materials And Methods: We included 139 consecutive patients (mean age ± standard deviation [SD], 68.5 ± 9.

An observational study on the effect of hypercholesterolemia developed after living donor liver transplantation on cardiac event and graft failure.

This study sought to evaluate the association between newly-developed significant hypercholesterolemia within one year following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and long term outcomes in light of cardiovascular events and graft failure. From October 2003 to July 2017, 877 LDLT recipients were stratified according to development of significant hypercholesterolemia within one year following LDLT. The primary outcome was occurrence of a major adverse cardiac event (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and coronary revascularization after LDLT.

Comparison of pre- and postoperative myocardial injuries on mortality after non-cardiac surgery: a retrospective analysis using an inverse probability weighting adjustment.

Although both pre- and postoperative myocardial injuries are strongly associated with an increased postoperative mortality, no study has directly compared the effects of pre- and postoperative myocardial injuries on 30-day mortality after non-cardiac surgery. Therefore, we evaluated and compared the effects of pre- and postoperative myocardial injury on 30-day mortality after non-cardiac surgery. From January 2010 to December 2016, patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery were stratified into either the normal (n = 3182), preoperative myocardial injury (n = 694), or postoperative myocardial injury (n = 756) groups according to the peak cardiac troponin value.

Effect of post-extubation high-flow nasal cannula on reintubation in elderly patients: a retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study.

Background: Studies of mechanically ventilated patients with a low risk of reintubation have suggested that the use of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy reduces the risk of reintubation compared with conventional oxygen therapy (COT). However, the effect of HFNC following extubation in elderly patients with a high risk of reintubation remains unclear.

Methods: All consecutive medical intensive care unit (ICU) patients aged >65 years who were mechanically ventilated for >24 h were prospectively registered between July 2017 and June 2018.

Predictors of Survival to Discharge After Successful Weaning From Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock.

Background: This study identified predictors of hospital mortality after successful weaning of patients with cardiogenic shock off venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support.

Methods and results: Adult patients who received peripheral VA ECMO from January 2012 to April 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. After excluding patients who died on ECMO support, predictors for survival to discharge were investigated in patients who were successfully weaned off ECMO.

Clinical implications of exercise-induced regional wall motion abnormalities in significant aortic regurgitation.

Background: Significant aortic regurgitation (AR) is sometimes accompanied by regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) during exercise stress echocardiography. The aim of this study was to estimate the association between RWMA after exercise and in the presence of significant AR in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) or volume overload and to predict the eventual need for aortic valve replacement (AVR).

Methods And Results: We retrospectively reviewed 182 patients with significant AR who underwent exercise echocardiography.

Interobserver Variability and Diagnostic Performance of Gadoxetic Acid-enhanced MRI for Predicting Microvascular Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Background Accurate identification of microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before treatment is critical for selecting a proper treatment strategy. Purpose To evaluate the interobserver agreement and the diagnostic performance of the MRI assessment of MVI in HCC according to the level of radiologist experience. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 100 patients with surgically confirmed HCCs smaller than 5 cm who underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI between 2013 and 2016.

Volatile versus total intravenous anesthesia for 30-day mortality following non-cardiac surgery in patients with preoperative myocardial injury.

We evaluated whether volatile anesthetics can improve the postoperative outcomes of non-cardiac surgery in patients with preoperative myocardial injury defined by the cardiac troponin elevation. From January 2010 to June 2018, 1254 adult patients with preoperative myocardial injury underwent non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia and were enrolled in this study. Patients were stratified into following two groups according to anesthetic agents; 115 (9.

Association Between β-Blockers and Outcome of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Before and After 1 Year.

Background: We evaluated the long-term outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) according to β-blocker therapy using landmark analysis. Although β-blockers have been shown to improve outcomes for ischemic heart disease, the long-term effects and optimal treatment duration of use after CABG remain unknown.

Methods: From January 2001 to December 2014, 5382 CABG patients were stratified into 2 groups according to β-blocker therapy at discharge (β-blocker group: 3677 [68.

Workers' rights are human rights: organizing the psychology of labor movements.

A surprisingly small body of research in psychology documents the costs and benefits of labor unions on an individual's psyche. However, the importance of labor unions - so critical it was codified in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights - requires a renewed examination of labor movements beyond the individual differences that predict labor membership. I review the body of evidence that shows labor has had an overwhelmingly positive impact on the workplace and have begun to use social movement actions of growing support and building power.

Late clinical outcomes of aortic valve replacement with Carpentier-Edwards pericardial valves.

Background: The present study aimed to compare the long-term clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of aortic valve replacement using Carpentier-Edwards Perimount (Perimount) or Perimount Magna (Magna) valves.

Methods: We enrolled 430 patients who underwent aortic valve replacements with Perimount (n=58) or Magna (n=372) valves [1998-2013]. Multivariable and inverse probability of treatment weight (IPTW) analyses were performed.

The differential neurologic prognosis of low-flow time according to the initial rhythm in patients who undergo extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Background: Limited data is available on the association between low-flow time and neurologic outcome according to the initial arrest rhythm in patients underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).

Methods: Between September 2004 and December 2018, 294 patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) were included in this analysis. We classified the patients into asystole (n = 42), pulseless electrical activity (PEA, n = 163) and shockable rhythm (n = 89) according to their initial rhythm.

Common Comorbidities of Stroke in the Canadian Population.

Objectives: Although comorbidity increases the health care and community support needs for patients, and the burden for the health care system, there are few population-based studies on comorbidity in patients with stroke. This study aims to evaluate the occurrence of important comorbidities among stroke patients in the Canadian population.

Methods: Data from the population-based 2011-2012 Canadian Community Health Survey containing responses from 124,929 participants covering about 98% of the Canadian population when weighted were examined and analyzed by means of logistic regression models.
