There has been much confusion regarding the fossil footprint record of pterosaurs, with both non‐pterosaurian tracks assigned to and pterosaurian track‐makers such as crocodilians turtles. Various authors have also debated whether pterosaurs were bipedal or quadrupedal, erect semi‐erect, digitigrade plantigrade, when progressing on land. Recent claims that Pteraichnus was made by a crocodilian effectively implied there are no known in record. We show here, basis new material from Jurassic...
To determine if particular values clarification exercises included in a patient decision aid had discernible impact on postdecisional regret patients with early-stage prostate cancer.A multicenter randomized controlled trial compared 2 versions of computerized aid: only structured information to the plus exercises. Assessments were conducted during visit; telephone follow-up interviews when made their decisions physician, 3 months after completing treatment, and >1 year later (per mailing)....
Background After a prostate cancer diagnosis, men want information about their disease and treatment options. The internet offers convenient means to deliver health patients with cancer. However, there are concerns the use of among this largely senior population. Objective This study aimed determine patterns factors associated as source Canadian features required in website. Methods Population surveys were conducted four provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario) 2014-2015....
Citizenship has been promoted within mental health for several decades however, its application in the field of policy and practice is relatively novel. The voices people who experience problems (MHPs) are often absent ongoing discourses about citizenship.To explore how adults with MHPs other life disruptions identify potential barriers to citizenship.A community based participatory research approach was adopted peer researchers. Six focus groups (N = 40) using semi-structured interviews...
To assess the ability of regression tree boosting to risk-adjust health care cost predictions, using diagnostic groups and demographic variables as inputs. Systems for risk-adjusting cost, described in literature, have consistently employed deterministic models account interactions among groups, simplifying their statistical representation, but sacrificing potentially useful information. An alternative is use a learning algorithm such that systematically searches data consequential...
Introduction: Prostate cancer patients’ information needs are welldescribed, but little is known about their preferred sources and media for obtaining information. We sought to determine prostate experiences preferences acquiring after diagnosis, a time of high need.Methods: Population surveys were conducted in four Canadian provinces 2014‒2015. Each provincial registry surveyed random sample patients diagnosed late 2012.Results: A total 1366 responded across provinces. Respondents most...
Procedures for analyzing and comparing health care providers' effects on services delivery outcomes have been referred to as provider profiling. In a typical profiling procedure, patient-level responses are measured clusters of patients treated by providers that in turn can be considered statistically exchangeable. Thus hierarchical model naturally represents the structure data. When multiple profiled, multivariate rather than series univariate models capture associations among at both...
We sought to determine the experiences and preferences of prostate cancer patients related process making their treatment decisions, use decision support.Population surveys were conducted in four Canadian provinces 2014-2015. Each provincial registry mailed a random sample diagnosed late 2012. Three registries' response rates 46-55%; fourth used different recruiting strategy, producing rate 13% (total n=1366).Overall, 90% (n=1113) respondents reported that they involved decisions....
SUMMARY –Since commercial fishery on the Mississippi River has been declining, an attempt was made to assess palatablilty of fish from selected sites above and below entry effluent St. Louis. Also, relationship between palatability aroma water studied. Carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeusl, flathead catfish (Pylodictus olivaris Rafinesque), freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens Rafinesque) were sampled 5 River. In first sampling period (August 15‐September 9, 1967), sensory scores for flavor low...
