Assessing the scientific integrity of the collected work of one author or author-group.

Objective: No published methods for research integrity review include both statistical techniques applied to groups of randomised trials and individual assessment of papers. We propose a method based on practical experience of investigating data integrity across the collected papers of one author or author-group.

Study Design And Setting: We report our approach to investigating the collected papers of an author or author-group suspected of academic misconduct.

Inter-rater reliability of MRI superior articular process angle measurement for use in the modified approach to cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injections.

Background: Upper extremity radicular pain is commonly treated with a cervical transforaminal epidural steroid injection (CTFESI). Recently, a new technique, the modified approach CTFESI, has been developed with a theoretical safety advantage to avoid the neurovascular structures. This approach requires an angle measurement of the superior articular process (SAP) on MRI.

A Microfluidic Contact Lens to Address Contact Lens-Induced Dry Eye.

The contact lens (CL) industry has made great strides in improving CL-wearing experiences. However, a large amount of CL wearers continue to experience ocular dryness, known as contact lens-induced dry eye (CLIDE), stemming from the reduction in tear volume, tear film instability, increased tear osmolarity followed by inflammation and resulting in ocular discomfort and visual disturbances. In this article, to address tear film thinning between the CL and the ocular surface, the concept of using a CL with microchannels to deliver the tears from the pre-lens tear film (PrLTF) to the post-lens ocular surface using in vitro eye-blink motion is investigated.

Designing a remote professional development course to support teacher customization in science.

This study reports on the design, implementation, and impact of a remote professional development (PD) course for secondary school teachers who were transitioning to remote instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. We designed technology innovations to strengthen the previously successful in-person course. The innovations support teachers to customize an instructional unit by setting and revising goals based on evidence from their students' prior work on the unit.
