: To evaluate the activity of mentalis (MN), buccinator (BC), and suprahyoid (SH) muscles among participants with different lip competence..: Sixty-three participants were classified clinically and assigned to the following groups of 21 each: 1) competent lips (competent), 2) incompetent lips (incompetent), or 3) forced lip closure (forced). Activity was recorded at rest, swallowing, speaking, reciprocal compression of the lips, and chewing.: MN activity in incompetent was significantly higher than competent at rest, and it was significantly higher in incompetent and forced when compared with competent during swallowing (< .05). No differences among incompetent and forced were observed (> .05). During speaking, reciprocal compression of the lips, and chewing, MN activity did not show significant differences among groups. BC and SH activity did not show significant differences (> .05).: MN activity during swallowing can be considered a relevant biomarker to differentiate between forced and competent participants.

Improving lung function capacity in patients with chronotropic incompetence using closed loop stimulation: A randomized crossover study.

Background: Chronotropic incompetence (CI) severely limits exercise tolerance due to impaired heart rate responses. This study investigated whether pacemaker with closed-loop stimulation (DDD-CLS) pacing, which provides rate acceleration in response to exertion, could enhance lung function and cardiopulmonary capacity compared pacemaker without CLS pacing in patients with CI.
Methods: This randomized crossover trial included 32 patients with CI who were compared to each CLS and DDD pacing over 2 months.
The EU as Active and Passive Political Determinant of Forced Migrants' Health: Insights from the Case of Germany.
J Health Polit Policy Law
October 2024
Context: This article examines the EU's function as a political determinant of health (PDoH) in national-level regulation of forced migrants' access to health(care), with a focus on Germany. It sheds light on the role the EU has come to play-and has been assigned-in national policy making under the impact of different crises.
Methods: By applying the concepts of claims and frames/framing, the article examines in a document analysis how and to what end(s) the EU as a polity and specific EU legislation were invoked in German draft legislation.
Development of a measure for assessing malingered incompetency in criminal proceedings: Denney competency related test (D-CRT).

Introduction: Experts frequently assess competency in criminal settings where the rate of feigning cognitive deficit is demonstrably elevated. We describe the construction and validation of the Denney Competency Related Test (D-CRT) to assess feigned incompetency of defendants in the criminal adjudicative setting. It was expected the D-CRT would prove effective at identifying feigned incompetence based on its two alternative, forced-choice and performance curve characteristics.

Drug-induced Nitrosogenesis/Carcinogenesis turns out to be a ubiquitous, pervasive, large-scale, poorly controllable concept for the academic community, which underlies the long-term, permanent modification of the human genome by contact with nitrosamines/NDSRIs, which ultimately leads to the generation of diverse cancers, but also melanoma in particular. The discovery of a (currently) unclassifiable number of nitroso derivatives/genome modifiers in the most commonly distributed drugs worldwide (in about 300 preparations according to the FDA/includes beta blockers/bisoprolol/nebivolol and ACE inhibitors/perindopril), their forced tolerability, attributed as a necessity or lack of alternative also to the present (but also to future periods), and their proven carcinogenicity (already 70 years ago), suggest a kind of creepy form of experiment to which public health is subjected worldwide. The creation of a universal nitroso-comfort of pharmaceutical companies and the regulation of a permanent intake of carcinogens in drugs for years to come, but also decades back, suggest possible cartel agreements between the regulation/distribution unit and that of production cycles.

Limitations on reproductive decision making, including forced sterilization and involuntary birth control, raise significant ethical challenges. In the United States, these issues are further complicated by a disturbing history of the abuse and victimization of vulnerable populations. One particularly fraught challenge is the risk of teratogenicity posed by mood-stabilizing psychiatric medications in patients who are incapable of appreciating such dangers.
