Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the effectiveness of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block for pain control intraoperatively in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (primary-27130) (THA), compared to opioid based analgesia. The PENG block is an emerging regional anesthesia technique that aims to provide hip analgesia with preservation of motor function offering benefit over existing regional techniques while reducing overall opioid requirements.

Design: A retrospective cohort chart review and analysis.

Purpose: Hormonal contraceptives alter hormone levels in women and have been linked to alterations in sleep patterns; however, previous studies yielded inconsistent results and lacked generalizability. This study examines hormonal contraceptive use and its impact on sleep outcomes, including sleep duration and sleep disturbances.

Methods: Women self-reported their sleep patterns and use of contraceptives in the 2017 population-based Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey (n=1,970).

The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP, Division 14 of the American Psychological Association [APA]) maintains Guidelines for Education and Training to provide guidance for the training of industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologists. The 2016/2017 revision combines separate documents for master's- and doctoral-level training into one document, because the competencies required for each degree are not very different. Instead, the degrees differ in breadth and depth.

The ephemeral Criegee intermediate, first postulated over 70 years ago, has only recently been isolated in the gas phase. The sulfur analogue of this canonical zwitterion, thioformaldehyde S-sulfide, has eluded similar analysis; however, argon matrix isolation has been achieved ( Angew. Chem.

Three key tailoring enzymes in pradimicin biosynthesis: PdmJ, PdmW, and PdmN, were investigated. PdmW was characterized as the C-6 hydroxylase by structural characterization of the corresponding product, 6-hydroxy-G-2A. The efficiencies of the C-5 and C-6 hydroxylations, catalyzed respectively by PdmJ and PdmW, were low when they were expressed individually with the early biosynthetic enzymes that form G-2A.

Objective: To determine (a) the prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use among people with asthma, and (b) if comorbid chronic disease and asthma severity are associated with CAM use.

Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized data from nā€‰=ā€‰15ā€‰276 adults who participated in the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and the 2009 Asthma Callback Survey (ACBS). Binary Logistic regression was used to determine if comorbid disease and asthma severity were associated with CAM use (yes/no).

The current research targets 4 potential stereotypes driving hostile attitudes and discriminatory behaviors toward pregnant women: incompetence, lack of commitment, inflexibility, and need for accommodation. We tested the relative efficacy of reducing concerns related to each of the stereotypes in a field experiment in which female confederates who sometimes wore pregnancy prostheses applied for jobs in a retail setting. As expected, ratings from 3 perspectives (applicants, observers, and independent coders) converged to show that pregnant applicants received more interpersonal hostility than did nonpregnant applicants.
