Purpose: The Periotest is an electronic instrument that has been advocated for the measurement of implant stability and osseointegration. The aims of this investigation were to establish the relationship between contact time and PTV values when the Periotest was used to assess implants in vivo and in vitro, and to investigate the influence of the striking height of the Periotest handpiece and the length of implant abutment.
Materials And Methods: The accelerometer signal from a Periotest was captured and compared with the resulting PTV value. In vitro measurements of PTV and contract time were performed on a 3-mm abutment that had been attached to a 15-mm implant luted into an aluminium block, and were repeated on a patient in vivo. further measurements were made of the abutments of six implants in turn in the maxilla of the same patient. The standard abutment lengths on the implants were 3, 4 (x 2), 5.5 (x 2), and 7 mm.
Results: The results indicated that there was a linear relationship between contact time and PTV value for implants measured in vitro and in vivo. Greater scatter of the in vivo data was attributed to test and patient variables including striking position, distance, and damping as a result of the presence of soft tissue. There was a linear relationship between the PTV value and the striking height for implant measurements in vivo and in vitro.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the sensitivity of the Periotest to clinical variables including striking heights and handpiece angulation limit the application of the instrument as a clinical diagnostic aid to measure implant stability.

Purpose: Little is known about the relationship between conflict at work and incident chronic low back pain (CLBP). Thus, this retrospective cohort study analyzed the association between conflict at work and the five-year incidence of CLBP in adults living in Germany.
Methods: This study included individuals aged 18-65 years reporting conflict at work for the first time in one of 1,293 general practices in Germany between 2005 and 2022 (index date).

Background/objectives: The underlying mechanisms of taekwondo-specific jumping ability among different competition levels are still unknown. This study aimed to compare vertical and horizontal stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) performance between athletes of different competitive levels and examine the relationships of force and power production abilities between those two directions in Taiwanese collegiate-level male taekwondo athletes.
Methods: Seventeen male collegiate taekwondo athletes were divided into two groups: medalists (MG, n = 8) and non-medalists (NMG, n = 9); both groups performed countermovement jumps (CMJ) on a force platform and single-leg lateral hops (SLLHs) via an optoelectronic measurement system.

During epidemic outbreaks, human behavior is highly influential on the disease transmission and hence affects the course, duration and outcome of the epidemics. In order to examine the feedback effect between the dynamics of the behavioral response and disease outbreak, a simple SIR- type model is established by introducing the independent variable of effective contact rate, characterizing how human behavior interacts with disease transmission dynamics and allowing for the feedback changing over time along the progress of epidemic and population's perception of risk. By a particle swarm optimization algorithm in the solution procedures and time series of COVID-19 data with different shapes of infection peaks, we show that the proposed model, together with such behavioral change mechanism, is capable of capturing the trend of the selected data and can give rise to oscillatory prevalence of different magnitude over time, revealing how different levels of behavioral response affect the waves of infection as well as the evolution of the disease.

Background: The rapid growth of the global aging population highlights the need to address ageism and promote social inclusiveness. While considerable research has explored the impact of perceived ageism on older adults' mental health, limited attention has been given to how negative mental health factors-such as depression, anxiety, and stress (DAS)-influence ageist attitudes among younger populations, along with the psychological mechanisms underlying this relationship.
Purpose: This study first investigates the prevalence of ageism among undergraduates and its variation across certain socio-demographic factors at the research site.

Background: Meat is a good source of protein in the human diet, and more than three-quarters of the world's population consumes it. It is the most perishable food item since it has enough nutrients to enable microbial growth. In underdeveloped nations, animals are routinely slaughtered and sold in unsanitary conditions, compromising the bacteriological quality and safety of the meat received from the animals.
