Wider use in psychology of confidence intervals (CIs), especially as error bars figures, is a desirable development. However, psychologists seldom CIs and may not understand them well. The authors discuss the interpretation figures with analyze relationship between statistical significance testing. They propose 7 rules eye to guide inferential bars. These include general principles: Seek that relate directly effects interest, be sensitive experimental design, interpret intervals. also...
Reform of statistical practice in the social and behavioral sciences requires wider use confidence intervals (CIs), effect size measures, meta-analysis. The authors discuss four reasons for promoting CIs: They (a) are readily interpretable, (b) linked to familiar significance tests, (c) can encourage meta-analytic thinking, (d) give information about precision. calculation CIs a basic standardized measure, Cohen’s δ (also known as d), contrast these with original score means. require...
This research contributes to the empirical literature on university student mental well-being by investigating prevalence and socio-demographic correlates of severe levels psychological distress. More than 5000 students at a metropolitan Australian participated in an anonymous online survey 2013 that included short form Depression, Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21). Comparisons with published show our respondents' DASS results were substantially higher those observed studies general community...
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone is less effective in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) compared paroxysmal AF. The left posterior wall may contribute to maintenance of AF, and (PWI) a common PVI adjunct. However, PWI has not been subjected randomized comparison.
Since the mid-1980s, confidence intervals (CIs) have been standard in medical journals. We sought lessons for psychology from medicine's experience with statistical reform by investigating two attempts Kenneth Rothman to change practices. examined 594 American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) articles published between 1982 and 2000 110 Epidemiology 1990 2000. Rothman's editorial instruction report CIs not p values was largely effective: In AJPH, sole reliance on dropped 63% 5%, CI reporting...
OBJECTIVE—In this study, we used neurocognitive assessment and neuroimaging to examine brain function in youth with type 1 diabetes studied prospectively from diagnosis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We diabetic (n = 106) control subjects 75) no significant group difference on IQ at baseline 12 years previously by using the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of General Intelligence, magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging, metabolic data RESULTS—Type had lower verbal full scale IQs than (both P...
OBJECTIVE Type 1 diabetes in youth and community controls were compared on functional outcomes. Relationships examined between psychosocial variables at diagnosis outcome 12 years later. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants subjects with type (n = 110, mean age 20.7 years, SD 4.3) control 76, 20.8 4.0). The measures used included the Youth Self-Report Young Adult a semi-structured interview of participants also provided information about current care metabolic from diagnosis. RESULTS...

Importance The impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation on mental health outcomes is not well understood. Objective To determine whether AF associated with greater improvements in markers psychological distress compared medical therapy alone. Design, Setting, and Participants Randomized Evaluation the Impact Catheter Ablation Psychological Distress Atrial Fibrillation (REMEDIAL) study was a randomized trial symptomatic participants conducted 2 centers Australia between June 2018...
Cystatin C-and creatinine-based methods were compared with (99m)-technetium-diethylene-triamine-penta-acetic acid ((99m)Tc-DTPA) plasma clearance (isotopic glomerular filtration rate [iGFR]) for detecting declining renal function.Glomerular (GFR) was monitored over a mean of 10.1 years in 85 subjects type 1 diabetes (with an average 5.6 measurements per individual). Baseline +/- SD iGFR the cohort 106.1 2.6 ml/min 1.73 m(2). The rates decline GFR (DeltaGFR) derived using linear regression.In...
Abstract Objective: Studies examining depressive symptoms and negative mood across the postmenopause are lacking, particularly those that examine prevalence in early late postmenopause. This study examines occurrence menopausal stages to provide a better understanding of disturbance during this period. Methods: was longitudinal assessment variables drawn from an epidemiological prospective women's healthy aging. Scores were analyzed using general linear mixed models determine whether there...
Purpose To assess the safety and efficacy of chronic electrical stimulation retina with a suprachoroidal visual prosthesis. Methods Seven normally-sighted feline subjects were implanted for 96–143 days electrode array six chronically stimulated 70–105 at levels that activated cortex. Charge balanced, biphasic, current pulses delivered to platinum electrodes in monopolar mode. Retinal integrity/function mechanical stability implant assessed monthly using electroretinography (ERG), optical...
University students are known to be at heightened risk among their peers for experiencing psychological distress and mental health difficulties. To date, there have been few interventions designed reduce stressors in the educational environment. This may due limited research investigating course-related correlates of students’ distress. The present study addresses that gap by identifying exploring extent which six common elements coursework programmes predict scores on measures depression,...
OBJECTIVE This prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover study examined the effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) supplementation on antialbuminuric action telmisartan with or without hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) in hypertensive patients type 2 diabetes, increased albumin excretion rate (AER), and habitual low dietary salt intake (LDS; <100 mmol sodium/24 h two three consecutive occasions) high (HDS; >200 occasions). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Following a...

Abstract Objectives Esophageal atresia (EA) is a significant congenital anomaly, with most survivors experiencing esophageal dysmotility. Currently, there no reliable way to predict which patients will develop significant, life‐threatening Using high‐resolution impedance manometry (HRIM), this study aimed characterize the common pressure topography patterns in children repaired EA. Methods This prospective longitudinal cohort focused on (<18 years) Utilizing HRIM, motility were studied....
In vivo host responses to an electrode-like array of aligned carbon nanotubes (ACNTs) embedded within a biopolymer sheet are reported. This biocompatibility study assesses the suitability immobilized for bionic devices. Inflammatory and foreign-body histiocytic reactions not substantially elevated when compared negative controls following 12 weeks implantation. A fibrous capsule isolates implanted ACNTs from surrounding muscle tissue. Filamentous nanotube fragments engulfed by macrophages,...
