Real-time shear wave elastography in measuring normal ileocolon intestinal wall stiffness using colonoscopy as reference: A single-center research

European Journal of Radiology Open
Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) in evaluating intestinal wall stiffness, and to establish the threshold SWE value of normal intestinal wall and explore the influencing factors of intestinal SWE.

An investigation of the functional significance of the pyramidalis muscle using shear wave elastography

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pyramidalis (Py) is a small triangular‐shaped anterior abdominal wall muscle, the function of which remains uncertain. We used shear wave elastography to test the hypothesis that Py contributes to stiffness of the linea alba. Our results indicate that Py contraction results in a significant increase in LA stiffness, supporting the previously ...

Tooth Loss and Edentulism Are Associated With Poorer Quality of Life: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analyses

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Tooth loss compromising functional dentition doubles the odds of poor oral health‐related quality of life (OR 2.08), while complete tooth loss nearly quadruples them (OR 3.99). These findings from a systematic review of population‐based studies underscore tooth preservation as a critical public health priority.

Education and the Shadow Economy: A Panel Cointegration Analysis

Kyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of education on the shadow economy across 132 countries over the period 1991–2020. To this end, panel cointegration and panel error‐correction models are employed. The results of the panel cointegration tests indicate a stable long‐term relationship among the selected variables.

Comparative diagnostic efficacy of two-dimensional shear wave and transient elastography in predicting the risk of esophagogastric varices and histological staging in patients with primary biliary cholangitis

BMC Gastroenterology
Background This study aimed to compare the diagnostic efficacy of Two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) with that of transient elastography (TE) in predicting the risk of esophagogastric varices and histological staging in patients with ...

Vocabulary and Processing Speed Explain Reading and Writing Disparities Between Linguistic Groups in Higher Education

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Selective admissions at universities in the United Kingdom aim to ensure a baseline language competence, yet, despite persistent achievement disparities across linguistic backgrounds, systematic comparisons of linguistic skills underpinning academic success remain rare.

Gendered Parenthood and Platform Work Across European Welfare Regimes

New Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital platform labour has been growing and meanwhile successfully established in many parts of the world. Yet participation in platform work not only varies markedly across countries but also by individual‐level factors such as gender and parenthood.

Accounting for Cross‐Country Differences in Output Per Worker: A Sectoral CES Perspective

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The standard macroeconomic literature suggests that richer countries employ more productive technologies. Removing technological disparities between countries would hence narrow the substantial variation in output per worker across countries.
