Long‐Term Stoma‐Free Outcomes After Diverting Stoma Closure Following Radiation‐Based Neoadjuvant Treatment for Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Long‐term stoma‐free outcomes after diverting stoma closure in patients who underwent sphincter‐preserving rectal cancer surgery with double‐stapling technique (DST) reconstruction following radiation‐based neoadjuvant treatment remain unclear.

Mapping Lupinus polyphyllus density and distribution along road verges using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based remote sensing

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Road verges function as refuges for semi‐natural species, but they can also facilitate the spread of non‐native plants such as Lupinus polyphyllus. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based remote sensing is a promising tool for mapping these species; however, its application in roadside contexts remains limited.

Attention-Related Eye Vergence Measured in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Recent evidence shows a novel role for eye vergence in orienting attention in adult subjects. Here we investigated whether such modulation in eye vergence by attention is present in children and whether it is altered in children with ADHD compared to ...

Both Radiofrequency Microtenotomy and Physical Therapy Provide Significant Improvements in Patients With Chronic Midportion Achilles Tendinopathy at a Minimum 5‐Year Follow‐Up

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate a minimum 5‐year follow‐up of patients who were treated with either bipolar radiofrequency microtenotomy (RFM) or physical therapy (PT) for midportion Achilles tendinopathy between 2016 and 2018. Methods All subjects who participated in a previous randomized controlled trial (n = 38) between 2016 and 2018 were invited to fill out a ...

Functional activity within the frontal eye fields, posterior parietal cortex and cerebellar vermis significantly correlates to symmetrical vergence peak velocity: An ROI-based, fMRI study of vergence training

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014
Convergence insufficiency (CI) is a prevalent binocular vision disorder with symptoms that include double/blurred vision, eyestrain, and headaches when engaged in reading or other near work.

Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...

Evidence Supporting Open-Loop Control During Early Vergence

Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2013
Disparity vergence eye movements were analyzed to determine if the early component of this response operates under open-loop, or preprogrammed, control. The analysis compares ratios of peak velocity to response amplitude (i.e., main sequence ratios) for ...

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.
