ARIs were observed among both HCP and patients, highlighting the importance of including HCP in surveillance programs.

Association Between Rotator Cuff Muscle Size And Glenoid Deformity In Primary Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis, Alexander W Aleem, Peter N Chalmers, Daniel Bechtold, Adam Z Khan, Robert Z Tashjian, Jay D Keener

Open Access Publications

BACKGROUND: Although glenoid morphology has been associated with fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff in arthritic shoulders, the association of rotator cuff muscle area with specific patterns of glenoid wear has not been studied. The purpose of our study was to assess the associations of glenoid deformity in primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis and rotator cuff muscle area.

METHODS: A retrospective study of 370 computed tomographic (CT) scans of osteoarthritic shoulders was performed. Glenoid deformity according to the modified Walch classification was determined, and retroversion, inclination, and humeral-head subluxation were calculated using automated 3-dimensional software. Rotator cuff muscle area was measured on …

Understanding The Experience Of Psychopathology After Intimate Partner Violence: The Role Of Personality, Paulo A S Moreira, Márcia Pinto, C. Robert Cloninger, Daniela Rodrigues, Carlos Fernandes Da Silva

Open Access Publications

Objectives: To fully understand the dynamics of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) it is necessary to understand the role of personality. The current understanding of which personality characteristics are associated with IPV victimization is, however, far from comprehensive. Given this gap in the literature, our objective was to examine the associations between the dimensions of the psychobiological model of personality and psychopathological symptoms in women who had experienced IPV.

Methods: Using a case-control design, a group of women who had experienced IPV and who were living in shelters (

Results: Victims of IPV showed significantly higher levels of Harm Avoidance and …

Field-In-Field Breast Planning For A Jawless, Double-Stack Mlc Linac Using Flattening-Filter-Free Beams, Robert Morris, Eric Laugeman, Jessica Hilliard, Imran Zoberi, Ana Heerman, Geoffrey Hugo, Sasa Mutic, Bin Cai

Open Access Publications

BACKGROUND: This study intends to develop an efficient field-in-field (FiF) planning technique with the Eclipse treatment planning system (TPS) to determine the feasibility of using the Halcyon treatment delivery system for 3D treatment of breast cancer.

METHODS: Ten treatment plans were prepared on the Halcyon treatment planning system and compared to the same patients' clinically delivered TrueBeam plans which used flattened 6 MV and 10 MV beams. Patients selected for this study were treated via simple, tangential breast irradiation and did not receive radiotherapy of the supraclavicular or internal mammary lymph nodes. Planning target volumes (PTV) volumes ranged from 519 …

The World Health Organization recognizes access to clean and safe toilets as crucial for public health. This study explored U.S. adolescent and adult cisgender women's lived experiences accessing toilets in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. As part of the Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research Consortium, we conducted 44 focus groups with female participants (n = 360; ages 11-93). Focus groups were stratified by age (11-14, 15-17, 18-25, 26-44, 45-64, 65+) and conducted across 7 geographically diverse U.S. sites from July 2017-April 2018. Using a transdisciplinary approach, we conducted conventional qualitative coding informed by our PLUS conceptual framework …
