This study aimed to investigate how different strategies of task constraint manipulation impact physical and tactical demands in small-sided and conditioned games (SSCG). Ten recreational U-17 soccer ...
In the Cancer Core Europe Consortium (CCE), standardized biomarkers are required for therapy monitoring oncologic multicenter clinical trials. Multiparametric functional MRI and particularly diffusion...
Phantom and volunteer measurements (single-shot T2w and DW-EPI) were performed at the seven CCE sites using the MR hardware produced by three different vendors. Repeated measurements were performed at...
For DWI/ADC phantom measurements using a central post-processing algorithm, the maximum deviation could be decreased to 2%. However, there is no significant difference compared to a decentralized ADC ...
Harmonization of MR acquisition and post-processing parameters results in acceptable standard deviations for MR/DW imaging. MRI could be the tool in oncologic multicenter trials to overcome the limita...
• Harmonizing acquisition parameters and post-processing homogenization, standardized protocols result in acceptable standard deviations for multicenter MR-DWI studies. • Total measurement variation d...
Ballistic injuries during the Great March of Return (GMR) protests in Gaza have resulted in young, civilian amputees. This article defines this unique population, their injuries and clinical variables...
A multidisciplinary team (MDT) assessed 103 lower limb amputees (104 stumps). Individualized prescriptions of care were formulated and applied for both stump and prosthesis management. The cohort's he...
The population is predominantly young, male, suffering unilateral amputation with an equal ratio of above knee (AKA) to below knee (BKA) amputations. 18% were amputated immediately and 82% with delay....
Youth, proximal injury, high numbers of AKA, psychosocial issues and the need for stump and prosthetic support define this group of amputees. Unifying expertise within a National MDT will promote cont...
Implementation science (IS) has received increased attention as it provides a means to bridge the know-do gap to implement evidence-based interventions in real-world settings. Against this backdrop, p...
Alzheimer's disease has become increasingly prevalent among the older population, leading to significant social and economic burdens. Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) has shown promise as a cogn...
This study aimed to compare the effects of different dosages in a single tPBM session on cognitive efficiency in healthy older adults....
In this randomized controlled trial, 88 healthy older participants were assigned to either a single dose (irradiance = 30 mW/cm2, fluence = 10.8 J/cm2; n = 44) or a double dose (irradiance = 30 mW/cm2...
The single dose group exhibited significantly greater cognitive efficiency enhancement, indicated by a more pronounced reduction in oxygenated hemoglobin during a challenging task level (span level 9)...
These findings suggest that higher tPBM dosages may not necessarily result in superior cognitive improvement in older adults....
Pain and nicotine use are co-occurring conditions with a significant impact on health. Experimental evidence supports an acute analgesic effect of nicotine which may reinforce nicotine use among those...
Assess the effect of acute vaped nicotine on subjective and behavioral indices of pain sensitivity using three tasks designed to probe distinct mechanisms of analgesia....
This study recruited ENDS users (N = 86) to undergo a paced vaping protocol followed by pain tasks in counterbalanced order. Across four sessions, participants vaped e-liquid containing nicotine or pl...
Compared to placebo, nicotine increased cold pressor pain tolerance (η...
Consistent with research from tobacco smoking, analgesia may be reinforcing and contribute to nicotine dependence among ENDS users. More research on sex differences is warranted....
The purpose of the current study was to assess dual-task interference (i.e., changes between the dual-task and baseline condition) in a listening effort dual-task paradigm in normal-hearing (NH) adult...
Three groups of 31 participants were included: (a) NH adults, (b) HA users, and (c) CI users. The dual-task paradigm consisted of a primary speech understanding task in a quiet condition, and a favora...
The descriptive results showed varying patterns of dual-task interference between the three listening conditions. Most participants showed the pattern of visual memory interference (i.e., worse result...
Results of this study may provide additional insight into the interpretation of dual-task paradigms for measuring listening effort in diverse participant groups. It highlights the importance of consid...

Real-world data encompass population diversity, enabling insights into chronic disease mortality risk among the elderly. Deep learning excels on large datasets, offering promise for real-world data. H...
We integrated multi-task and cost-sensitive learning, developing an enhanced deep neural network architecture that extends multi-task learning to predict mortality risk across multiple chronic disease...
Our study covers 15 prevalent chronic diseases and is experimented with real-world data from 482,145 patients (including 9,516 deaths) in Shenzhen, China. The proposed model is compared with six model...
Our method provides valuable insights into leveraging real-world data for precise multi-disease mortality risk prediction, offering potential applications in optimizing chronic disease management, enh...
Tasks performed at or above head height in industrial workplaces pose a significant challenge due to their association with musculoskeletal disorders. Upper-body exoskeletons have been identified as a...
In both scenarios,...
In the absence of fatigue, the exoskeleton did not affect the speed-accuracy trade-off management of participants in the single task, but it did in the dual-task conditions. However, after muscle fati...
The increasing prevalence of omics data sources is pushing the study of regulatory mechanisms underlying complex diseases such as cancer. However, the vast quantities of molecular features produced an...
