Exam‐level analysis of lecture capture viewing and student exam performance

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study asks how lecture capture relates to exam performance in biology courses with three noncumulative exams. Mixed‐effects modeling separated between‐students from within‐student effects on exam %. Students who watched more recordings earned higher grades, but viewing spikes above a student's own mean, consistent with cramming, predicted small ...

Plasma p‐tau181 as a Marker of Conversion to Alzheimer's Disease Dementia and Worsening in Cognitive Functions in Subjective Cognitive Decline and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Longitudinal Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Plasma p‐tau181 has proven to be a promising diagnostic and prognostic tool in the earliest phases of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of p‐tau181 in predicting conversion to AD dementia and worsening in cognition in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD).

Site index determination using a time series of airborne laser scanning data

Forest Ecosystems
Site index (SI) is determined from the top height development and is a proxy for forest productivity, defined as the expected top height for a given species at a certain index age. In Norway, an index age of 40 years is used.

Longitudinal Relationship Between Pain and Depression in People With Inflammatory Arthritis: A Narrative Review

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
As many patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) have chronic pain, understanding how to best assess and manage pain in IA is a priority. Comorbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15% to 39% of people. Although pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.

Real‐World Cost‐Effectiveness of a Standardized Education and Exercise Therapy Program for Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis Compared to Usual Care

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We estimated the real‐world cost‐effectiveness of a standardized education and exercise therapy program (GLA:D) compared to usual care (UC) for people managing hip and/or knee osteoarthritis (HKOA). Methods We used a prospective matched cohort design to recruit people (aged >45 years) diagnosed with HKOA who used GLA:D or UC (not on a ...
