Abstract Females from the same population usually have phenotypic variation in their mating preferences. However, the effects of this within‐population variation on the sexual selection acting on males are still unclear. We used‐individual based models to explore how within‐population variation in female preference (i.e., which male trait value is preferred) and preference strength (i.e., how strong the preference is) affects the opportunity for sexual selection (Is ) and the evolution of a sexually...

Abstract Background Hypersalivation and drooling are commonly reported in clozapine-treated patients. Current management strategies have been evaluated using subjective measures. Many case reports describe the successful use of atropine in the treatment of the condition. Aims To measure the effect and safety of sublingual atropine on nocturnal unstimulated...

New Findings What is the central question of this study? How does acute hypoxia alter central and peripheral fatigue during brief and sustained maximal voluntary muscle contractions? What is the main finding and its importance? Perception of fatigue during muscle contractions was progressively increased for 2 hr after hypoxic exposure. However, an increase in motor cortex excitability and decrease voluntary activation of skeletal muscle was observed across the entire protocol when...

Abstract Instructions highlighting that backward conditional stimuli (CSs) stop unconditional stimuli (USs) result in their acquiring valence opposite to that of the US on explicit measures of valence. We assessed whether such instructions would influence startle blink modulation in the same way. Two groups were presented with concurrent forward and backward evaluative conditioning (CS‐US‐CS) using cartoon aliens as CSs, and pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant sounds as USs. Startle magnitude was...

Abstract Objectives Laryngeal dysplasia (LD) is a precancerous lesion of the larynx. In this study, the laryngeal tissue of patients with laryngeal dysplasia was taken as the research object, and the etiology of reflux was analyzed. Method Patients with laryngeal dysplasia after surgery were selected as our subjects. The levels of pepsin, enterokinase, and bilirubin in laryngeal tissue samples of the two groups were detected by immunohistochemical method. Results The OR values (95%...

Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic, recurrent skin disease requiring long‐term management. Agents that repair the skin's barrier functionareinvaluable additivesin topical treatments of psoriasis. This multicenter, randomized, controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of a linoleic acid‐ceramide‐containing moisturizer (LA‐Cer) for mild‐to‐moderate psoriasis vulgaris. We randomized 178 patients from both northern and southern regions of China into two groups: 81 patients in the control group...

Abstract Objectives The primate foot has been extensively investigated because of its role in weight‐bearing; however, the calcaneus has been relatively understudied. Here we examine entire gorilla calcaneal external shape to understand its relationship with locomotor behavior. Materials and methods Calcanei of Gorilla gorilla gorilla (n = 43), Gorilla beringei graueri (n = 20), and Gorilla beringei beringei (n = 15) were surface or micro‐CT scanned. External shape was analyzed through...

Abstract Objectives The objective was to develop an odontometric technique for sex estimation based on dental measurements from adult individuals, and to evaluate its applicability and reliability for diagnosis of sex of nonadult skeletal remains. Materials and methods This study was conducted on the permanent dentition of 132 individuals (70 males, 62 females) from the identified human skeletal collection of the Certosa Cemetery (Bologna, Italy) of the University of Bologna. Binary logistic...

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the dimensional stability and the detail reproduction of five current elastomeric impression materials in vitro. Materials and methods The materials examined were: 3 different polyether impression materials, a vinyl polysiloxane impression material, and a vinyl polyether silicone impression material. All impression materials were of a medium viscosity. One stainless steel die was fabricated according to the ANSI/ADA specification no.19 criteria. Twenty impressions...

The Patient‐Physician Relationship Scale (PPRS) for physicians may be used in research, education, and clinical practice to evaluate physicians' expectations the patient‐physician relationship with patients with DGBI with respect to interfering attributes, positive attributes, and personal connection. Abstract Background An effective patient‐physician relationship (PPR) is essential to the care of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). After developing a PPR questionnaire for patients,...

The IBS patients who did not look for information about IBS over the Internet had significantly higher trust in their gastroenterologist compared with those who did (U = 535.5; z = −2.26; P < 0.05). We created two reliable questionnaires proved in measuring gastroenterologist‐IBS patient trust (alpha = .87) and Internet information reliance (alpha = .88), respectively. Abstract Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients’ use of the Internet for health information interacts with...

Abstract The present study aimed to assess the influence of gender and age on snoring and sleep bruxism in non‐apneic snoring patients. Adult participants with clinical suspicion of snoring and with no other significant medical history were recruited. Single‐night video polysomnography was performed to detect snoring and sleep bruxism. Finally, 137 snoring non‐apneic participants were included. Statistical analysis of gender groups showed that the total snore index and snore train were significantly...

Background and Objectives Picosecond lasers in dermatology were originally focused on optimizing the removal of unwanted tattoos. Subsequent advances in this technology have expanded its clinical indications to include treatment of benign pigmented lesions, photodamage, melasma, and scar revision. In this retrospective review, we evaluate a novel 730 nm picosecond titanium sapphire laser in treating benign pigmented lesions. Study Design/Materials and Methods This is a retrospective review...

Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, Ahead of Print. BackgroundStandard dapsone and clofazimine-containing multidrug therapy (MDT) for leprosy is limited by drug tolerability, which poses treatment adherence barriers. Although ofloxacin-based regimens are promising alternatives, current efficacy and safety data are limited, particularly outside of endemic areas. We evaluated treatment outcomes in patients with leprosy receiving ofloxacin-containing MDT (OMDT) at our center.MethodsWe performed...
