Objective: To describe characteristics of claimants a year after report of an occupational injury associated with long-term disability benefits for income.

Method: Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses on self-reported data and register data.

Primary Outcome: long-term disability benefits.

Results: Respondent claimants on benefits had a work ability of 2.72 (scale 1 to 10-low to high) with slight increase from baseline. The multivariate analysis showed low work ability was the only characteristic associated with benefits. In the analysis of aggravation a year after injury claim benefits were only associated with severity of injury at report, increased daily medication, and aggravated relationships with friends.

Conclusions: Low work ability a year after report was the only characteristic of all claimants on benefits. In the present context perceived work ability perhaps reflects both severity of injury and other health or social factors.

Background Aims: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained traction as potential cell-free therapeutic candidates. Development of purification methods that are scalable and robust is a major focus of EV research. Yet there is still little in the literature that evaluates purification methods against potency of the EV product.

Behavioral and mental health (BMH) issues are increasing in adolescents as shortages of primary care and BMH providers are also rising. The healthcare burden has fallen especially hard on primary care providers (PCPs), who are showing increasing signs of burnout and making plans to reduce their work hours or leave the profession altogether. These factors impede their ability to be the first line of defense in providing emotional support to children and families.

Cognitive load stimulates neural activity, essential for understanding the brain's response to stress-inducing stimuli or mental strain. This study examines the feasibility of evaluating cognitive load by extracting, selection, and classifying features from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We employed robust local mean decomposition (R-LMD) to decompose EEG data from each channel, recorded over a four-second period, into five modes.

The paper presents a new sensor-less voltage and frequency control method for a stand-alone doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) feeding an isolated load. The proposed control approach directly regulates the magnitude and angle of the rotor-flux vector rather than controlling rotor currents or voltages as in classic field oriented control (FOC). To accurately regulate the magnitude and frequency of stator voltage, two separate closed-loop based PI regulators are employed to evaluate the reference signals of the rotor flux vector magnitude and angle, respectively.

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) generally has a favorable prognosis, and radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is typically used for metastatic DTC that continues to progress and poses life-threatening risks. However, resistance to RAI in metastatic DTC significantly impairs treatment effectiveness. This study aims to identify potential compounds that may influence RAI efficacy.
