Purpose: To investigate gender differences in diagnostic radiology practice, specifically, the differences in scope of practice, the frequency of consultations to other colleagues, and the error rates.
Material And Methods: A retrospective observational study was performed including radiologists working for a European teleradiology provider between 2013 and 2019. Main outcome measures included the adjusted odds ratio of female gender for reporting cases in more than one subspecialty, the adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) of female gender for the count of second opinion requests to other colleagues, and the adjusted IRR of female gender for the count of radiologic errors.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined how isometric contractions at short muscle lengths affect the slack length of relaxed skeletal muscle, specifically the vastus lateralis, using ultrasound imaging.
- Findings showed that voluntary contractions reduce muscle slack length by an average of 10°, regardless of contraction intensity, with the most significant effect occurring 5 seconds post-contraction and gradually decreasing over time.
- A subsequent slow stretch of the relaxed muscle can increase slack length, counteracting the effects of the preceding contraction, with larger stretches (over 30°) proving more effective in diminishing the contraction's impact.
