Implementation and impact of a point of care electroencephalography platform in a community hospital: a cohort study.

Objective: To determine the clinical and financial feasibility of implementing a poc-EEG system in a community hospital.

Design: Data from a prospective cohort displaying abnormal mentation concerning for NCSE or rhythmic movements due to potential underlying seizure necessitating EEG was collected and compared to a control group containing patient data from 2020.

Setting: A teaching community hospital with limited EEG support.

Basic Modes of Mechanical Ventilation.

Acute respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation is a common presentation in the emergency department. Providers can further improve care for these patients by understanding common modes of mechanical ventilation, recognizing changes in respiratory mechanics, and tailoring ventilator settings and therapies accordingly.

Energetics and Biomechanics of Uphill, Downhill and Level Running in Highly-Cushioned Carbon Fiber Midsole Plated Shoes.

Road-racing shoes recently experienced major changes. In the recent past, lightweight, thin midsole shoes were thought to help runners maximize their performance. But, in 2017, Nike released the Vaporfly shoe which transformed the thinking about racing shoe design.

Running economy, mechanics, and marathon racing shoes.

The choice of marathon racing shoes can greatly affect performance. The purpose of this study is to metabolically and mechanically compare the consumer version of the Nike Vaporfly 4% shoe to two other popular marathon shoes, and determine differences in running economy. Nineteen subjects performed two 5-minute trials at 4.

Self-optimization of Stride Length Among Experienced and Inexperienced Runners.

Experienced runners appear to naturally select a stride length which is optimal for minimizing oxygen uptake. However, whether this ability is naturally built into the human body or whether it is learned through experience has not been previously tested. This study investigated whether inexperienced runners are as capable as experienced runners of self-optimizing stride length to minimize oxygen uptake.

Oral health-related quality of life in children with orofacial clefts.

Objectives : To determine the impact of orofacial clefts on the oral health-related quality of life of affected children and whether the oral health-related quality of life of children with orofacial clefts differs among different age groups. To assess whether the responses of children with orofacial clefts differ from the caregivers' perceptions of their child's oral health-related quality of life and compare with data from a control group. Design : Cross-sectional study.

HJURP is a CENP-A chromatin assembly factor sufficient to form a functional de novo kinetochore.

Centromeres of higher eukaryotes are epigenetically marked by the centromere-specific CENP-A nucleosome. New CENP-A recruitment requires the CENP-A histone chaperone HJURP. In this paper, we show that a LacI (Lac repressor) fusion of HJURP drove the stable recruitment of CENP-A to a LacO (Lac operon) array at a noncentromeric locus.
