Experienced weight stigma in higher education: impact on academic choices, extracurricular participation, and well-being in students.

Weight stigma is present in employment, health care, and education institutions and can have detrimental consequences. This study, guided by the Health at Every Size (HAES) framework, examined the influence of weight stigma on college students' academic choices, extracurricular participation, overall well-being, and their university experience. Undergraduate and graduate students ( = 875) responded to a comprehensive online survey, including a 14 item University Environment Scale (UES).

Meta-analysis of a megafish: assessing patterns and predictors of Alligator Gar movement across multiple populations.

Background: Freshwater megafishes are among some of the most commercially and ecologically important aquatic organisms yet are disproportionately threatened with range and population reduction. Anthropogenic alterations of rivers influencing migrations are among the most significant causes for these declines. However, migratory fishes do not always respond similarly to movement barriers and thus it is necessary to develop models to predict movements of freshwater migratory fishes in the face of anthropogenic alteration.

Evaluating CBCT-Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer Using Synthetic CBCT Data.

Ethos adaptive radiotherapy is employed frequently in the pelvis to improve treatment accuracy by adapting to daily anatomical changes. The use of this CBCT-guided platform for abdominal treatments is made challenging by motion-related image artifacts that are detrimental to the Ethos auto-contouring process. We present a preliminary in silico study enabled by synthetic CBCT data of Ethos adaptive radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer.

A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Intramedullary Nailing Versus External Fixation for Open Tibial Fractures in Tanzania.

Background: Open tibial fractures are a cause of substantial orthopaedic morbidity in low- and middle-income countries. These injuries represent a substantial cost burden to both individual patients and society because of their high propensity for complications, such as infection, nonunion, and malunion. External fixation and intramedullary (IM) nailing are both utilized for definitive treatment of open tibial fractures, but given the differences in cost and lack of clear superiority of intramedullary nailing, cost-effectiveness becomes important to consider in low- and middle-income countries.
