Examining workplace behaviors in adult women with urinary incontinence: A pilot study.

Background: Urinary incontinence is a growing issue among adult women globally. Limited data exist examining the impact of occupational, environmental, and behavioral factors on urinary incontinence.

Objective: This quantitative, cross-sectional pilot study examined the workplace behaviors of adult women experiencing urinary incontinence.

Exploring the feasibility of targeted chronic hepatitis B screening in the emergency department: A pilot study.

Objective: To explore the feasibility of an ED chronic hepatitis B (CHB) screening programme.

Methods: Adult patients born in intermediate-high CHB prevalent regions completed a pre-screening questionnaire and were offered CHB testing. ED staff were surveyed to gauge potential barriers to the programme.

Rate of head circumference growth as a function of autism diagnosis and history of autistic regression.

Several reports indicate that autism spectrum disorder is associated with increased rate of head growth in early childhood. Increased rate of growth may index aberrant processes during early development, may precede the onset of symptoms, and may predict severity of the disease course. We examined rate of change in occipitofrontal circumference measurements (abstracted from medical records) in 28 boys with autism spectrum disorder and in 8 boys with developmental delay without autism from birth to age 36 months.

Early change in glucose metabolic rate measured using FDG-PET in patients with high-grade glioma predicts response to temozolomide but not temozolomide plus radiotherapy.

Purpose: To compare the ability of positron emission tomography (PET) to predict response to temozolomide vs. temozolomide plus radiotherapy.

Methods And Materials: Nineteen patients with high-grade glioma (HGG) were studied.

Degradation and effects of the potential mosquito larvicides methazolamide and acetazolamide in sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus).

To test for environmental persistence in order to determine the potential of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors as larvicides, the decomposition and degradation of samples containing methazolamide (MTZ) and acetazolamide (ACZ) in aqueous solution were monitored under different conditions. Additionally, nontarget species impact was assessed in an acute toxicity test using sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus). The fish were exposed for 120 h to 10(-3) and 10(-4) M each compound in replicate seawater tanks.
