Second order and transverse flow visualization through three-dimensional particle image velocimetry in millimetric ducts.

Despite recent advances in 3D particle image velocimetry (PIV), challenges remain in measuring small-scale 3D flows, in particular flows with large dynamic range. This study presents a scanning 3D-PIV system tailored for oscillatory flows, capable of resolving transverse flows less than a percent of the axial flow amplitude. The system was applied to visualize transverse flows in millimetric straight, toroidal, and twisted ducts.

The association between anxiety and depression symptoms and pain and function in adolescents and young adults with chronic pain: A meta-analysis.

Objective: Chronic pain in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) is associated with adverse functional and psychological outcomes; however, inconsistent findings across studies necessitate a comprehensive synthesis. This meta-analysis aimed to quantify associations between anxiety, depression, and pain/functional outcomes, and explore study and sample moderators, such as age, sex, pain duration, recruitment setting, and measurement tools.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, and Embase through May 2024.

Anxiety and Depression in Youth With Chronic Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Importance: For youth with chronic pain, anxiety and depression are reported as consequences of experiencing pain and maintaining factors of ongoing pain and disability. However, prevalence estimates of anxiety and depression remain unclear.

Objective: To report the prevalence of clinical anxiety and depression for youth with chronic pain and compare symptoms of anxiety and depression between youth with and without chronic pain.

Transverse flow under oscillating stimulation in helical square ducts with cochlea-like geometrical curvature and torsion.

The cochlea, situated within the inner ear, is a spiral-shaped, liquid-filled organ responsible for hearing. The physiological significance of its shape remains uncertain. Previous research has scarcely addressed the occurrence of transverse flow within the cochlea, particularly in relation to its unique shape.

Internet-Delivered Psychological Pain-Management for Young Adults With Chronic Pain: An Investigation of Clinical Trial Data.

Young adults report chronic pain at rates of around 12% but lack access to clinical services. There is interest in learning how this emerging adult population engages with and responds to treatment. Using data from young adults aged 18 to 30 years (M = 25.
