Abstinence from smoking increases blood levels of caffeine and may potentiate the ability of caffeine to increase anxiety, insomnia, etc., during smoking cessation. The present study tested this hypothesis using a wider range of abstinence levels (0, 36 and 84 h), caffeine doses (0, 200 and 400 mg) and subjective effects (31 measures) than prior studies. Fourteen participants were studied using a randomized, within-subjects, double-blind design. Participants were tested on 31 subjective variables, two performance and two physiological variables on five occasions over the 3 h following dosing. Although abstinence and caffeine produced their prototypic effects, only one of the 35 interactions tested was significant and the magnitude of this interaction was small. Although our statistical power was limited, we conclude abstinence from smoking does not change the subjective effects of caffeine in the first days of abstinence. These results and those of prior studies suggest smokers who are trying to stop smoking do not need to change their caffeine intake.

Singing to speech conversion with generative flow.
EURASIP J Audio Speech Music Process
March 2025
Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK.
This paper introduces singing to speech conversion (S2S), a cross-domain voice conversion task, and presents the first deep learning-based S2S system. S2S aims to transform singing into speech while retaining the phonetic information, reducing variations in pitch, rhythm, and timbre. Inspired by the Glow-TTS architecture, the proposed model is built using generative flow, with an adjusted alignment module between the latent features.

Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Contralateral donor autografts in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) may act as an alternative to conventional ipsilateral donor grafts but are rarely used clinically because of the lack of evidence on patient outcomes and concerns around additional morbidity.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of contralateral versus ipsilateral autograft use in ACLR on patient outcomes.
Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.
The impact of a PERMA model-based positive psychology intervention on fear of stroke recurrence: a randomized controlled trial.
Front Psychol
February 2025
Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University, Wuxi, China.
Introduction: This study aimed to examine the effects of a positive psychological intervention, grounded in the PERMA model, on fear levels, psychological capital, overall well-being, and quality of life among stroke patients.
Methods: A single-blind, two-arm randomized controlled trial with a repeated measures design was conducted at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from January to December 2023. A total of 125 patients experiencing fear of stroke recurrence were randomly assigned to either the intervention group ( = 63), which received a positive psychological intervention based on the PERMA model, or the control group ( = 62), which received standard care.

The Effect of a Notch Filter in Sound Preprocessing of Active Middle Ear Implants on Speech Perception.
Otol Neurotol
April 2025
Department for Hearing, Speech and Voice Disorders, Medical University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria.
Objective: The effect of two different notch filters in sound pre-processing of active middle ear implant (AMEI) on speech perception was studied.
Method: Speech perception was tested in 20 adults with AMEI using the Oldenburg sentence test (OLSA) in quiet at a fixed presentation level of 65 dB HL. Three conditions were tested: notch filter option not active, acoustic notch filter activated at a center frequency of 4 kHz and acoustic notch filter activated at a center frequency of 6 kHz.
