Automated method of bronchus and artery dimension measurement in an adult bronchiectasis population by Angelina L.P. Pieters, Qianting Lv, Jennifer J. Meerburg, Tjeerd van der Veer, Eleni-Rosalina Andrinopoulou, Pierluigi Ciet, James D. Chalmers, Michael R. Loebinger, Charles S. Haworth, J. Stuart Elborn, Harm A.W.M. Tiddens

“…The major CT BA determinants of airflow obstruction were bronchial wall thickness (p=0.001) and a narrower bronchial inner diameter (p=0.003). Conclusion The automated BA method, which is an accurate and sensitive tool, demonstrates a stronger correlation between visual and automated assessment and lung function when using a higher cut-off value to define bronchiectasis.…”

Regulation of static and dynamic balance in healthy young adults: interactions between stance width and visual conditions by Wei Luo, Zhirui Huang, Hao Li, Tao Zhong, Peishun Chen, Yu Min

“…Statistical analysis of the test indices was conducted using repeated measures ANOVA.ResultsIn static balance tests, index values were higher with eyes closed than with eyes open, with this difference being most pronounced at narrower stance widths. Notably, a significant main effect was observed for all indicators, in the static balance test under varying visual and stance width conditions (P < 0.001). …”
