Peripheral visual stimulation with a tilted luminous frame has long been known to influence both body orientation and the apparent tilt of objects. Peripheral visual inputs along with vestibular and somaesthetic components thus constitute a multi-channel perceptual orientation control system. Surrounding the visual induction pattern with a luminous circle reduced the effectiveness of the visual channel to about 23% of maximum, whereas inscribing a circle within the luminous frame was without effect. This finding suggests a simple method for dealing with undesirable visual-vestibular interactions and an explanation for some instances of disorientation.

Background: Targeting cardiovascular fitness (CVF), rather than weight loss, may be a more acceptable and feasible outcome among Latinos.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the short-term efficacy of (AFL), a fitness- and lifestyle-focused behavioral intervention to improve CVF and performance among Latino families.

Methods: Latino parent-child dyads (n = 137) were randomized to either AFL program or a waitlist control condition.

Recovery support services as part of the continuum of care for alcohol or drug use disorders.

Harvard Medical School and Center for Addiction Medicine, Recovery Research Institute, at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.

Background: The definition of 'recovery' has evolved beyond merely control of problem substance use to include other aspects of health and wellbeing (known as 'recovery capital') which are important to prevent relapse to problematic alcohol or other drug (AOD) use. Developing a Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC) requires consideration of interventions or services (Recovery Support Services, RSS) designed to build recovery capital which are often delivered alongside established treatment structures. Lived experience and its application to the process of engaging people, changing behaviour and relapse prevention is an essential part of these services.

Oriented Cortical-Bone-Like Silk Protein Lamellae Effectively Repair Large Segmental Bone Defects in Pigs.

Institute of Applied Bioresource Research, College of Animal Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310058, China.

Assembling natural proteins into large, strong, bone-mimetic scaffolds for repairing bone defects in large-animal load-bearing sites remain elusive. Here this challenge is tackled by assembling pure silk fibroin (SF) into 3D scaffolds with cortical-bone-like lamellae, superior strength, and biodegradability through freeze-casting. The unique lamellae promote the attachment, migration, and proliferation of tissue-regenerative cells (e.
