Evaluating the use of text-message reminders and personalised text-message reminders on the return of participant questionnaires in trials, a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Randomised controlled trials are widely accepted as the gold standard research methodology for the evaluation of interventions. However, they often display poor participant retention. To prevent this, various participant interventions have been identified and evaluated through the use of studies within a trial.

Psychosocial Stress and Risk for Intracerebral Hemorrhage in the ERICH (Ethnic/Racial Variations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage) Study.

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) carries a 30-day mortality rate of 40% to 50% and a high burden of disability. Prior studies found that psychosocial stressors are associated with hypertension, ischemic stroke, and important racial/ethnic differences in baseline stress exist. We sought to determine whether stress, including distinct subtypes, predicts risk of ICH after controlling for important risk factors; whether its effect is mediated by hypertension; and whether important racial/ethnic differences in stress-associated ICH exist.

Compulsive Sexual Behavior Inventory Short Form (CSBI-SF): Development and Psychometric Evaluation.

The Compulsive Sexual Behavior Inventory (CSBI-13) assesses concerns related to compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) and has previously demonstrated strong psychometric properties. To enhance research and clinical screening utility, a short-form of the CSBI-13 was developed by modifying the CSBI-13 to items that screen for CSB and potential CSBD diagnosis. Using a confirmatory factor analytic approach, the resulting five-item CSBI-SF demonstrated strong model fit and internal consistency comparable to the original CSBI-13, as well as associations with other CSB measures and known correlates (religiosity, attachment style, and emotion dysregulation).

Extracting the Temperature Dependence of Both Nanowire Resistivity and Junction Resistance from Electrical Measurements on Printed Silver Nanowire Networks.

Printed networks of nanoparticles (e.g., nanodots, nanowires, nanosheets) are important for a range of electronic, sensing and energy storage applications.
