A randomized controlled trial to test the effects of displaying the Nutri-Score in food advertising on consumer perceptions and intentions to purchase and consume
CONCLUSIONS: This research is the first in the literature to demonstrate that displaying the Nutri-Score in advertising messages assists consumers in directing their choices towards healthier foods. Regulations mandating the display of the Nutri-Score in food advertising could be an effective public health measure.PMID:38622707 | DOI:10.1186/s12966-024-01588-5 (Source: Health Physics)

Risk factors associated with a history of iliotibial band syndrome (hITBS) in distance runners: a cross-sectional study in 76 654 race entrants - a SAFER XXXIII study
CONCLUSION: Apart from female sex, younger age, fewer years of running and slower running speed, two novel independent risk factors associated with hITBS in distance runners are an increased number of chronic diseases and a history of allergies. Identifying athletes at higher risk for ITBS can guide healthcare professionals in their prevention and rehabilitation efforts.PMID:38618688 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2024.2341607 (Source: Health Physics)

Social Deprivation Index Affects Time to MRI after knee injury in pediatric patients and is predicted by patient demographics
CONCLUSION: Increased SDI is independently associated with longer time from clinic visit to knee MRI order and longer time from clinic visit to knee MRI completion in our pediatric population. Recognizing potential barriers to orthopedic care can help create the change necessary to provide the best possible care for all individual patients.PMID:38618689 | DOI:10.1080/00913847.2024.2342235 (Source: Health Physics)

From skin sensitizers to wastewater: the unknown photo-deactivation process of low-lying excited states of isothiazolinones. A non-adiabatic dynamics investigation
In this study, a non-adiabatic dynamics investigation was conducted using state-of-the-art methodologies to explore the photochemistry of isothiazolinones. A simplified model, isothiazol-3(2H)-one (ISO), was employed to represent this compound class. The study validated the model and demonstrated that ISO can return to its ground state through the cleavage of the S-N or S-C bonds, with no significant energy barrier observed. Non-adiabatic dynamics simulations provided insights into the time scales and detailed processes of isothiazolinone photodissociation. The preferred route for deactivation was found to be the cleavage ...

Implementation of a programmatic assessment model in radiation oncology medical physics training
CONCLUSIONS: An updated training program for Radiation Oncology Medial Physics registrars/residents was released in Australasia. Scientific content from a previous program was used as a foundation and revised for currency with the ability to accommodate a dynamic curriculum model. A programmatic model of assessment was created after comprehensive review and consultation. This new model of assessment provides more structured, ongoing assessment throughout the training period. It contains allowances for local bespoke assessment, and guidance for supervisors by the provision of marking templates and rubrics.PMID:38620004 | DO...

Applying exercise capacity and physical activity as single vs. composite endpoints for trials of cardiac rehabilitation interventions: Rationale, use-case, and a blueprint method for sample size calculation
CONCLUSIONS: Trialists may consider the utility of the composite endpoint for future studies in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation, which could reduce sample size requirements. However, perhaps surprisingly at first, the composite endpoint could also lead to an increased sample size needed, depending on the observed baseline proportions in the trial population and the aim of the intervention.PMID:38621456 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2024.04.004 (Source: Health Physics)

Safety and Efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Ultra-Central Thoracic Tumours: A Single Centre Retrospective Review
CONCLUSION: In the largest case series of ultra-central thoracic SBRT to date, homogenously prescribed SBRT was associated with relatively low rates of severe toxicity and LF. Predictors of toxicity should be interpreted in the context of the heterogeneity in toxicities observed.PMID:38621607 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.04.009 (Source: Health Physics)

Accelerometer-Based Estimates of Physical Activity and Sedentary Time Among Samoan Adults
CONCLUSIONS: This study characterizes physical activity among Samoan adults and highlights variation by sex, urbanicity, and weight status. In providing initial device-measured estimates of physical activity in Samoa, this analysis establishes a baseline from which the success of future attempts to intervene on physical activity may be assessed.PMID:38621669 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2023-0590 (Source: Health Physics)

Risk prediction of pulse wave for hypertensive target organ damage based on frequency-domain feature map
Med Eng Phys. 2024 Apr;126:104161. doi: 10.1016/j.medengphy.2024.104161. Epub 2024 Mar 28.ABSTRACTThe application of deep learning to the classification of pulse waves in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) related to hypertensive target organ damage (TOD) is hindered by challenges such as low classification accuracy and inadequate generalization performance. To address these challenges, we introduce a lightweight transfer learning model named MobileNetV2SCP. This model transforms time-domain pulse waves into 36-dimensional frequency-domain waveform feature maps and establishes a dedicated pre-training network based on thes...
