Pre-disability resilience and well-being following the onset of functional impairments.

Objectives: Tested the prospective relationship of a resilient personality prototype determined prior to disability onset to well-being among persons with and without debilitating functional impairments nine to 10 years later. A resilient profile was expected to predict well-being through its beneficial associations with positive affect, perceived control and social support.

Design: Longitudinal, prospective observation study.

Adsorption of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm associated compounds on silica probed with molecular dynamics simulations.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a potentially pathogenic bacterium that commonly colonizes surfaces through the formation of biofilms. Silica glass is a common material in the built environment, especially in laboratory and medical spaces.

Traumatic glaucoma due to paintball injuries: A case series.

Purpose: To study the management and outcomes of patients with paintball injuries resulting in traumatic glaucoma.
