Article Synopsis
- * In a study involving 2,823 cancer patients, both sexes experienced pulmonary embolism as the most common type of venous thromboembolic event, with differing rates of rethrombosis: 10.0% for men and 15.0% for women after a median follow-up of 6.9 months.
- * Men experienced a higher incidence of major bleeding compared to women, making sex an important consideration in determining the length of anticoagulant therapy for cancer patients, especially with specific risk factors involved.
Article Synopsis
- The sensorimotor adaptation process is essential for effective oral communication, particularly when speaking in noisy environments.
- Recent research indicates that individuals with non-phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (NPVH) struggle to adapt their speech in noise, showing difficulty in recovering their normal speaking patterns afterward.
- The study employed the SimpleDIVA model to analyze differences in adaptation dynamics between participants with typical voices and those with NPVH, revealing that the latter group had lower learning rates and somatosensory feedback, which implies they rely less on body feedback during speech in noise.
Introduction: The ability to objectively measure chronic stress has important implications for research, prevention, and treatment. Cortisol is currently the most used biological marker in the investigation of stress and can be measured via blood, saliva, and urine; however, these methods have disadvantages. The measurement of cortisol in hair is a more recently developed method that quantifies the cumulative production of cortisol over longer periods of time.
