Is It Time We Changed How We Measure Length of Stay for Hip and Knee Arthroplasty? by McCulloch, Robert

“…Use of hours as the unit of measure of LOS enabled analysis of the time of day of discharge. With decreasing LOS and day-case arthroplasty, a measurement in median hours should become the standard to allow for the detection of subtle changes.…”

Biodegradable thermoplastic polyurethane composites as potential plating systems in pediatric facial fractures by ALANI, AYA AHMED

“…Due to the rapid growth of facial bone in the pediatric age group, the use of metallic plates would require a second surgical intervention to remove it. The alternative is biodegradable plating systems which are safe but not without complications, including learning curve, decreased stability, cost, and infection. …”

Hot and Hypoxic environments inhibit simulated soccer performance and exacerbate performance decrements when combined by Aldous, Jeffrey

“…Twelve male University soccer players completed three familiarization sessions and four randomized crossover experimental trials of the intermittent Soccer Performance Test (iSPT)in normoxic- temperate(CON:18◦C50%rH),HOT(30◦C;50%rH),HYP(1000m;18◦C50%rH),and HH(1000m;30◦C;50%rH).Physical performance and its performance decrements, bodytemperatures(rectal,skin,and estimated muscle temperature), heartrate(HR), arterial blood oxygen saturation(SaO2), perceived exertion, thermal sensation(TS), body mass changes, blood lactate, and plasma volume were all measured. …”

Improved Traffic Flow Efficiency during Yellow Interval at Signalized Intersections Using a Smart Countdown System by Hussain, Qinaat

“…Results from a binary logistic regression model showed that the probability of crossing during the change interval significantly increased for the G-LED condition compared to the control condition, while it decreased in the F-green condition. Furthermore, the experiment disclosed that the odds of crossing the intersection (without red-light running) for the proposed smart advanced warning system (G-LED) were 29.67 and 2.58 compared to the F-green and the control conditions, respectively. …”

Tailoring the defects of sub-100 nm multipodal titanium nitride/oxynitride nanotubes for efficient water splitting performance by Eid, Kamel

“…XPS, XPS imaging, Auger electron spectra, and positron annihilation spectroscopy disclosed that the high nitridation rate induced the generation of a mixture of Ti-nitride and oxynitride with various vacancy-type defects, including monovacancies, vacancy clusters, and a few voids inside TiOxNTs. These defects decreased the bandgap energy to 2.4 eV, increased visible-light response, and enhanced the incident photon-to-current collection efficiency (IPCE) and the photocurrent density of TiONxNTs by nearly 8 times compared with TiO2NTs, besides a quick carrier diffusion at the nanotube/electrolyte interface. …”
