The Effect of Being Born Moderate-to-Late Preterm on Lung Function and Respiratory Morbidity at 9 to 10 Years of Age.

The effect of moderate-late preterm (MLP; 32 to 36 completed weeks' gestation) birth on childhood respiratory health is unclear. To assess the effect of being born MLP, compared with being born at term (≥37 completed weeks' gestation), on lung function and respiratory morbidity at 9-10 years of age. Prospective cohort of children born MLP or at term at the Royal Women's Hospital, Victoria, Australia.

Use of 3D Printing Technology to Improve Lead Shield Fabrication for Electron Therapy of the Face.

Superficial lesions of the face are often treated with an electron beam and surface collimation utilizing a conformal lead shield with an opening around the region of treatment (ROT). To fabricate the lead shield, an imprint of the patient face is needed. Historically, this was achieved using a laborious and time-consuming process that involved a gypsum imprinted model (GIM) of the patient topography.

Why the belief in meritocracy is so pervasive.

People worldwide tend to believe that their societies are more meritocratic than they actually are. We propose the belief in meritocracy is widespread because it is rooted in simple, seemingly obvious causal-explanatory intuitions. Our proposal suggests solutions for debunking the myth of meritocracy and increasing support for equity-oriented policies.
