Today’s Virtual Reality (VR) displays are dramatically better than the head-worn displays offered 30 years ago, but today’s displays remain nearly as bulky as their predecessors in the 1980’s. Also, almost all consumer VR displays today provide 90-110 degrees field of view (FOV), which is much smaller than the human visual system’s FOV which…[Read more]

IMPORTANCE Vision impairments are common after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Little evidence exists to assist clinicians with effective interventions for impaired oculomotor skills in people with TBI. OBJECTIVE To pilot a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of oculomotor treatment in TBI rehabilitation. DESIGN An impairment-based oculomotor protocol…[Read more]

7 mm, 2.0 mm, and 1.5 mm, respectively. The mandibular yaw rotation was not correlated to age but moderately associated (r = 0.467) to asymmetry in mandibular length and total ramus height. Conclusions Patients with skeletal Class I and unilateral crossbite showed small mandibular asymmetries and these conditions were slightly greater in adults,…[Read more]

The majority of companies and agencies believe that the quality of decision making can and should be measured. Moreover, organizations considered the occurrence of biases within their organization as pertinent. Finally, almost all the participants felt that there was room for improvement for their organization’s quality of decision making.…[Read more]

Our data have also highlighted the persistence of Magdalenian-associated ancestry in hunter-gatherer populations outside of Spain and thus provide arguments for an expansion of these populations at the end of the Paleolithic Period more northerly than what has been described so far. Finally, no major demographic changes were detected during the…[Read more]

AIMS LIK066 (licogliflozin) is a dual sodium glucose co-transporter 1/2 inhibitor with potential benefits in weight loss. This study evaluated the efficacy, tolerability and safety of licogliflozin in Japanese adults with obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding study to evaluate…[Read more]

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the role of gastric acid suppressant use on outcomes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and oral chemotherapy. We identified all research evaluating the effect of GAS (gastric acid suppressants) use on patients receiving oral chemotherapy or TKIs for solid tumors. The pooled hazard…[Read more]

Conclusions These findings suggest that, when anticipating a negative situation, participants preemptively increase positive emotions. However, while positive selections served to temporarily improve mood, the effects did not last throughout the stress task. These results provide more evidence for age similarity than age differences in…[Read more]

Precise folding of photosynthetic proteins and organization of multicomponent assemblies to form functional entities are fundamental to efficient photosynthetic electron transfer. The bacteriochlorophyll b-producing purple bacterium Blastochloris viridis possesses a simplified photosynthetic apparatus. The light-harvesting (LH) antenna complex…[Read more]

Inborn defects in thyroid hormone biosynthesis contribute to nearly half of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) cases in China. The thyroid peroxidase (TPO) mutation is one of the most frequent mutations that results in thyroid dyshormonogenesis. In this study, 35 non-synonymous mutations in 15 TPO sites, including 6 novel mutations, were identified in…[Read more]
