Praise for ability is commonly considered to have beneficial effects on motivation. Contrary this popular belief, six studies demonstrated that praise intelligence had more negative consequences students' achievement motivation than effort. Fifth graders praised were found care about performance goals relative learning children After failure, they also displayed less task persistence, enjoyment, low-ability attributions, and worse Finally, described it as a fixed trait hard work, who...
To evaluate the effectiveness of a staged ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) imaging protocol for accurate diagnosis suspected appendicitis in children opportunity reducing number CT examinations associated radiation exposure.This retrospective study was compliant with HIPAA, waiver informed consent approved by institutional review board. This is all studies obtained having between 2003 2008 at suburban pediatric emergency department. A multidisciplinary US implemented 2003....
Terms such as "glass ceiling" and "sticky floor" are still commonly used to describe women's role in academic surgery. Despite continued efforts address disparities between men women the field, gender inequalities persist. In this investigation we highlight differences published surgical literature by both quantity impact. Websites for departments of surgery three centers were reviewed assess bibliometrics publications over a two-week period. A one-way ANOVA showed significantly higher...
Medical training occurs during peak childbearing years. However, the intense workload, long work hours, and limited financial compensation are potential barriers to having children this time. Here, we aimed identify gender-based differences in beliefs experiences of graduate medical education. We hypothesized that both genders face significant challenges, but women more likely experience stressors related work-family conflicts. administered an anonymous web-based survey all trainees at...
Background Evidence suggests that patients with COPD struggle to maintain improved physical activity (PA) after completing pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Smartphone applications (apps) providing a comprehensive training programme have conferred healthy benefits. This study was conducted determine whether regular usage of an app maintains PA following PR. Methods Patients stage II–IV were enrolled in 6-month trial After the screening period, participants randomised into Kaia group...
Abstract Objectives: In the emergency department (ED), a significant amount of radiation exposure is due to computed tomography (CT) scans performed for diagnosis appendicitis. Children are at increased risk developing cancer from low‐dose and it therefore desirable utilize CT only when appropriate. Ultrasonography (US) eliminates but has sensitivity inferior that CT. We describe an interdisciplinary initiative use staged US pathway maximize diagnostic accuracy while minimizing exposure....
Reserve in aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is defined as maintaining cognition at a relatively high level the presence of neurodegeneration, an ability often associated with higher education among other life factors.Recent evidence suggests that resting-state functional connectivity within frontoparietal control network, specifically left frontal cortex (LFC) hub, contributes to reserve.Following up these previous fMRI findings, we probed memory-task related LFC hub neural substrate...
Pilonidal disease begins in puberty when males and females have different sex hormone expression. We hypothesize that differences can lead to clinical pilonidal disease. Patient demographics, Fitzpatrick skin type, hair characteristic, presentation, pain score, recurrence were recorded 2019–2022. All patients underwent regular epilation+/-pit excision. Excised pits stained for estrogen receptor, progesterone androgen receptor. 237 (110F, 127 M) followed 351±327days. Females present younger...
Historically, cholecystectomy was infrequently performed in children. Lifestyle changes, delays health care access, and increases childhood obesity occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of these shifts on need for are poorly understood. We evaluate trends case volume among children A multi-institutional retrospective cohort study conducted ages 18 years younger who underwent from January 1, 2016, to July 31, 2022, at 10 children's hospitals. Differences mix before pandemic were...
To investigate anticoagulation with prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2 [PGI2]) and/or heparin during continuous venovenous hemofiltration, and the role of in vitro tests primary hemostasis controlling anticoagulation.Prospective, randomized, controlled trial.Intensive care unit.Forty-six consecutive, critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients postoperative acute renal failure.Anticoagulation patient's blood was accomplished using (6.0 +/- 0.3 IU/kg/hr for group 1), PGI2 (7.7 0.7 ng/kg/min...
Objectives: To investigate anticoagulation with prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2 [PGI2]) and/or heparin during continuous venovenous hemofiltration, and the role ofin vitrotests of primary hemostasis in controlling anticoagulation. Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Setting: Intensive care unit. Patients: Forty-six consecutive, critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients postoperative acute renal failure. Interventions: Anticoagulation patient's blood was accomplished...
Urinary catecholamines and metanephrines are used for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma (PHEO) in dogs. Hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) is an important differential PHEO.To measure urinary dogs with HAC.Fourteen HAC, 7 PHEO, 10 healthy dogs.Prospective clinical trial. Urine was collected during initial work-up hospital; HAC additional sample taken at home 1 week after discharge. Parameters were measured using high-pressure liquid chromatography expressed as ratios to creatinine concentration.Dogs...
Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy are at increased risk of some anaesthesia-related hazards such as rhabdomyolysis, fever and hyperkalaemia.To evaluate the management anaesthesia in patients dystrophy, including preoperative evaluation, intraoperative performance, critical events postoperative care.We performed a retrospective case review study covering period between April 2000 December 2008.91 undergoing 232 general anaesthetics for orthopaedic surgical interventions.University...
