It has been suggested that increased status that comes from being an award winner can generate enduring advantages that compound over one's career via the Matthew Effect. However, research in this area has yielded conflicting results and has been unable to isolate the unique effect of status on career outcomes from the positive endogenous characteristics of award winners. In the current research, we attempt to address previous research limitations and examine if winning an award is associated with career outcomes (i.e., opportunities and productivity) irrespective of individual productivity levels prior to receiving an award. We examined our research questions using observational data of National Hockey League (NHL) league championship winners and non-winners (N = 427). By using a team award and several different analytic approaches we were able to examine the unique effects of affiliation-based external status, generated from an award win, on career outcomes. Our results generally show support for the Matthew Effect and suggest that affiliation-based external status, achieved by an award win, provides access to increased opportunities, which ultimately results in more productivity. We discuss the importance of incorporating opportunity and investigating its role in the cumulative advantage process and implications of the results.

Purpose: Accurately predicting the expected duration of time until total knee replacement (time-to-TKR) is crucial for patient management and health care planning. Predicting when surgery may be needed, especially within shorter windows like 3 years, allows clinicians to plan timely interventions and health care systems to allocate resources more effectively. Existing models lack the precision for such time-based predictions.

Co-occurrence of mental distress and insomnia associates with more severe musculoskeletal pain - Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 study.

J Psychosom Res

December 2024

Medical Research Center Oulu, University of Oulu and Oulu University Hospital, Oulu, Finland; Research Unit of Population Health, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland; Wellbeing Services County of Lapland, Rovaniemi, Finland.

Objective: This cross-sectional study demonstrates the differences in the dimensions of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain between participants with mental distress and/or insomnia among general population with MSK pain within the past 12 months.

Methods: Participants of Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC1966) were studied (n = 4316). They were divided into groups based on their mental distress and insomnia status (co-occurring mental distress and insomnia [CMI], isolated mental distress [M] and insomnia [I], and absence of both [AMI]).

Predicting benefit from PARP inhibitors using deep learning on H&E-stained ovarian cancer slides.

Eur J Cancer

December 2024

Division of Digital Prevention, Diagnostics and Therapy Guidance, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg, Germany. Electronic address:

Purpose: Ovarian cancer patients with a Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) often benefit from polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor maintenance therapy after response to platinum-based chemotherapy. HR status is currently analyzed via complex molecular tests. Predicting benefit from PARP inhibitors directly on histological whole slide images (WSIs) could be a fast and cheap alternative.

The innate immune response is the body's first line of defense against external pathogens and endogenous damage signals. The cGAS-STING pathway is a crucial component of the innate immune response, playing a key role in initiating antiviral and anti-infective immune responses by recognizing cytosolic DNA. Acute cerebral infarction is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, with the primary treatment approach being the restoration of blood flow to ischemic brain tissue.
