An Institutional Experience of Hematoma Management after Head-and-neck Oncosurgeries by Rajendra Dhondge, Mohsina Hussain, Ahmer Arif A. Shaikh, Sirshendu Roy, Raj Nagarkar

“…Conclusion: Though ours is a pilot study, we feel that our protocol is easy to follow, and we have applied it successfully in surgical practice and decreased the incidence of post-operative hematoma. We believe if the same protocol is followed and applied in surgical practice it will be of great help to all head-and-neck surgeons.…”

Systems Science and Childhood Obesity: A Systematic Review and New Directions by Asheley Cockrell Skinner, E. Michael Foster

“…This shortcoming limits the ability of that research to inform public policy. However, we believe that the largely incremental approaches used in current systems science lay a foundation for future work and present a model demonstrating the system of childhood obesity. …”

Topical Review: Basic Psychological Needs in Adolescents with Chronic Pain—A Self-Determination Perspective by Annina Riggenbach, Liesbet Goubert, Stijn Van Petegem, Rémy Amouroux

“…Therefore, we introduce Self-Determination Theory and highlight the potentially moderating and mediating role of the basic needs on pain-related disability in children and adolescents. Taken together, we believe that Self-Determination Theory is compatible with the fear-avoidance model of pain and the ecological resilience-risk model in pediatric chronic pain and may deepen our understanding of why some adolescents are able to live adaptively in spite of chronic pain.…”

Social Strata Differentials in Reproductive Behavior among Agricultural Families in the Krummhörn Region (East Frisia, 1720-1874) by Kai P. Willführ, Charlotte Störmer

“…From 1820 onwards, high crop prices were associated with increased child (but not infant) mortality and with extended inter-birth intervals. We believe this period-sensitive response to changes in the crop price was the result of a social transition that took place during our study period, in which relations between the classes went from being based on communal “table fellowships” (Tischgemeinschaft) to being based on capitalist employer/employee arrangements. …”

Optofluidic paper-based analytical device for discriminative detection of organic substances via digital color coding by Jinsol Choi, Chi Yeung Oh, Gong Qian, Tae Soup Shim, Heon-Ho Jeong

“…The optofluidic PADs clearly distinguish 11 organic chemicals with digital readout of pattern recognition from colorimetric signals. We believe that our optofluidic coding strategy mimicking the olfactory system opens up a wide range of potential applications in colorimetric monitoring of chemicals observed in environment.…”

Polysaccharide Hydrogel-Assisted Biosensing Platforms for Point-of-Care Use by Sang-Uk Kim, Young Jun Kim, Tae Hee Lee

“…We first discuss the pros and cons of polysaccharide hydrogels in practical applications and then introduce case studies that test different formats, such as paper-based analytical devices (PADs), microfluidic devices, and independent platforms. We believe the analysis in the present review provides essential information for the development of biosensing platforms for POC use in resource-limited settings.…”

Facing the fear: a scaffolding approach to teaching life sciences undergraduates R coding by Elena Paci, Alex Swainson, Nadia L. Cerminara

“…To overcome these barriers, we propose a scaffolding approach using RStudio for data analysis, that has been successfully implemented to teach basic coding skills to students in their first and second years of Neuroscience and Physiology programmes at University of Bristol (UK). We believe that this approach has been a successful route to lower students’ anxiety around coding and ease them into more complex tasks. …”

Unsupervised self-organising map classification of Raman spectra from prostate cell lines uncovers substratified prostate cancer disease states by Daniel West, Susan Stepney, Y. Hancock

“…The results demonstrate a new sub-clustering of the prostate cancer cell-line into two groups—protein-rich and lipid-rich sub-cellular components—which we believe to be mechanistically linked. This finding shows the potential for unsupervised machine learning to discover distinct disease-state features for more accurate characterisation of highly heterogeneous prostate cancer. …”

REALIZATION OF THE PHENOTYPIC EFFECT OF CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATIONS IN HUMANS by K. N. Grinberg, V. I. Kukharenko

“…Earlier, we considered factors affecting phenotype formation in patients with chromosomal aberrations (Grinberg, 1978, 1982; Grinberg, Kukharenko, 1992). We believe that the general concept of the phenotypic manifestation of chromosomal disbalance must take into account the following factors:1. …”

Variable size sampling to support high uniformity confidence in sensor data streams by Hajin Kim, Myeong-Seon Gil, Yang-Sae Moon, Mi-Jung Choi

“…The uniformity confidence is an important sampling metric in sensor data streams, and this is the first attempt to apply uniformity confidence to KSample. We believe that the proposed UC-KSample is an excellent approach that adopts an advantage of KSample, dynamic sampling over a fixed sampling ratio, while improving the uniformity confidence.…”
