Rotational testing has been used in clinical practice to explore vestibular function. Frequently used stimulus algorithms include: sinusoidal harmonic acceleration test (SHAT), pseudorandom rotation test (PRRT), and velocity step test (VST). The aim of this study was to construct normative data as well as to evaluate the test-retest reliability of those rotational paradigms. One hundred and fifty subjects without vestibular history participated in the normative study. The SHAT was presented at 5 frequencies (0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 Hz), whereas for the PRRT those frequencies were summed. The VST consisted of a rotation to the right and left and was administered twice. Thirty-two volunteers were retested to assess the test-retest reliability. Separate normative data were needed according to sex, stimulus type, and frequency for the SHAT and PRRT, and according to stimulus and direction for the VST. High reliability by means of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the method error (ME) was obtained for the SHAT, PRRT, and VST gain, SHAT phase and asymmetry, and VST time constant parameters. The availability of data on the minimal detectable test-retest differences supports the evaluation of rotational responses on a retest session.

Research has demonstrated that social-ecological risk and protective factors at multiple levels are associated with sexual behavior in adolescence. However, relatively little is known about how different patterns of these factors may work together in combination to influence sexual risk. In this study, we use nationally representative data from the U.

Background: While numerous studies have highlighted the stigma experienced by women facing infertility, there is limited research that delves into the specific types of stigmas they encounter. Despite extensive discussions surrounding the Stigma Management Communication (SMC) theory and its application in managing stigma across various contexts, its utilisation in understanding and addressing the stigma experienced by women with infertility has been largely overlooked. This study seeks to bridge this gap by identifying forms of stigma that Chinese women experiencing infertility encounter and analysing the strategies they use to manage it.
