Epidemiology of ossification of the spinal ligaments and associated factors in the Chinese population: a cross-sectional study of 2000 consecutive individuals

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background The epidemiology and cause of ossification of the spinal ligaments (OSL) remains obscure. To date, there is no study that comprehensively evaluates the prevalence, distribution, and concomitance of each type of OSL by CT among general Chinese ...

Radiation Safety in Practice: A Cross‐Sectional Study on Radiographers' Knowledge, Awareness and Adherence to Personal Radiation Monitoring Devices in Resource Limited Settings

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study examined how well radiographers in five major Namibian state hospitals understand and use Personal Radiation Monitoring Devices (PRMD), a critical tool for occupational safety. While most respondents showed strong knowledge and awareness of PRMDs, many were unaware of their own radiation exposure and rarely reviewed their dose records ...

Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Design and Development of Novel Airway Device for Transoral Respiratory Monitoring During Sedation

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This article describes iterative design factors and results of clinical testing for a novel medical device that promotes transoral respiratory gas exchange for patients during sedation. A minimally viable prototype was 3D printed from thermoplastic polyurethane and demonstrated high levels of oral retention, gas exchange, and satisfaction among ...
