Novel repair of costal margin rupture with preoperative 3D planning
No full textWHAT WOULD YOU DO? This is a 32-year-old man involved in a motor vehicle crash in 2019 with chronic left-sided rib pain since. He was initially treated with physical therapy and medical management with no improvement. CT imaging in 2021 noted displaced left lateral seventh and eighth ribs, noted chest wall deformity, and when three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of his ribs was created, this noted a left- sided costal margin rupture at the sixth and seventh ribs

Female Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking (DMST) is a global epidemic requiring awareness and attention. Studies from a spectrum of human trafficking subtopics: human rights, sex trafficking, its female predominance, DMST, region, policies, stigma, ambiguity of terminology, and vulnerable populations, connect and examine the issue from a global perspective on women and gender to its manifestation in the United States and New York State. Participants in the studies include juveniles, representatives of non-governmental organizations, law enforcement, and public officials. Measurements of risk in minors and girls, results of at-risk minors’ participation in psychoeducational groups, and attitudes of first responders, social workers, and policy makers, assisted conclusions and implications of this research. The findings demonstrate that stigma associated with DMST perpetuates the problem, young girls are particularly vulnerable to DMST, social construction that sexualizes girls and gender disparity in treatment of victims heightens their risk, demand fuels exploitation of girls, and laws contradict solutions. DMST can be prevented and victims rehabilitated through research, education, language and attitude changes, improved laws and enforcement, social work and human services that address minors at risk of victimization and support victims to avoid recidivism through helping with basic needs, legal assistance, addiction treatment, counseling, and education.Archived web contentSUNY BrockportFODL Library Research Award
Swiss watch featuring Dutch precision
No full textA method is introduced to design compliant micro transmission mechanisms which double the motion frequency of a cyclic input motion. Compliant embodiments are generated based on exploiting the singularity in a double-slider mechanism, which provides building blocks with a frequency-multiplication factor of two. It is shown that the proposed building blocks can be concatenated for higher frequency-multiplication ratios. To validate the building block approach, a compliant micro transmission mechanism is presented which quadruples the frequency of a cyclic rectilinear input motion.Mechatronic Systems DesignPrecision and Microsystems Engineerin

Szegek és torkok – avagy ismét a feʒe
No full textThe study gives a summary of a multilateral argumentation based on which the author assumes that the word fe?e in the Funeral Semon should be interpreted as vésze ‘its danger, its doom’ and occurs there as a result of interference. The paper is a reply to a criticism which, in a simplifying fashion, rejected such an interpretation in Magyar Nyelv 2020/2 (see Hegedűs 2020).A tanulmány összefoglal egy többszempontú érvelést, amely alapján a szerző feltételezi, hogy a feʒe szót a Halotti beszédben úgy kell értelmezni, hogy vésze ’veszélye, végzete’, amely egy nyelvi interferencia jelenség. A cikk válasz a Magyar Nyelv 2020/2. számában megjelent kritikára, amely leegyszerűsített érveléssel elutasította ezt az értelmezést (lásd Hegedűs 2020)
Echoes of echoes? An episodic theory of lexical access
No full textIn this article the author proposes an episodic theory of spoken word representation, perception, and production. By most theories, idiosyncratic aspects of speech (voice details, ambient noise, etc.) are considered noise and are filtered in perception. However, episodic theories suggest that perceptual details are stored in memory and are integral to later perception. In this research the author tested an episodic model (MINERVA 2; D. L. Hintzman, 1986) against speech production data from a word-shadowing task. The model predicted the shadowing-response-time patterns, and it correctly predicted a tendency for shadowers to spontaneously imitate the acoustic patterns of words and nonwords. It also correctly predicted imitation strength as a function of ' 'abstract' ' stimulus proper-ties, such as word frequency. Taken together, the data and theory suggest that detailed episodes constitute the basic substrate of the mental lexicon. Early in the 20th century, Semon (1909/1923) described a memory theory that anticipated many aspects of contemporary theories (Schacter, Eich, & Tulving, 1978). In modern parlance, this was an episodic (or exemplar) theory, which assumes that every experience, such as perceiving a spoken word, leaves

Fatality rates following penetrating traumatic brain injury (pTBI) are extremely high and survivors are often left with significant disability. Infection following pTBI is associated with worse morbidity. The modern rates of central nervous system infections (INF) in civilian survivors are unknown. This study sought to determine the rate of and risk factors for INF following pTBI and to determine the impact of antibiotic prophylaxis. METHODS
Seventeen institutions submitted adult patients with pTBI and survival of more than 72 hours from 2006 to 2016. Patients were stratified by the presence or absence of infection and the use or omission of prophylactic antibiotics. Study was powered at 85% to detect a difference in infection rate of 5%. Primary endpoint was the impact of prophylactic antibiotics on INF. Mantel-Haenszel χ2 and Wilcoxon\u27s rank-sum tests were used to compare categorical and nonparametric variables. Significance greater than p = 0.2 was included in a logistic regression adjusted for center. RESULTS
Seven hundred sixty-three patients with pTBI were identified over 11 years. 7% (n = 51) of patients developed an INF. Sixty-six percent of INF patients received prophylactic antibiotics. Sixty-two percent of all patients received one dose or greater of prophylactic antibiotics and 50% of patients received extended antibiotics. Degree of dural penetration did not appear to impact the incidence of INF (p = 0.8) nor did trajectory through the oropharynx (p = 0.18). Controlling for other variables, there was no statistically significant difference in INF with the use of prophylactic antibiotics (p = 0.5). Infection was higher in patients with intracerebral pressure monitors (4% vs. 12%; p = \u3c0.001) and in patients with surgical intervention (10% vs. 3%; p \u3c 0.001). CONCLUSION
There is no reduction in INF with prophylactic antibiotics in pTBI. Surgical intervention and invasive intracerebral pressure monitoring appear to be risk factors for INF regardless of prophylactic use. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE
