We have developed a special purpose adaptor making it possible to use a commercially available high-speed camera to observe vocal fold vibrations during phonation. The camera can capture dynamic digital images at speeds of 600 or 1200 frames per second. The adaptor is equipped with a universal-type attachment and can be used with most endoscopes sold by various manufacturers. Satisfactory images can be obtained with a rigid laryngoscope even with the standard light source. The total weight of the adaptor and camera (including battery) is only 1010 g. The new system comprising the high-speed camera and the new adaptor c...

In this study, we reconsider the relationship between heavy and persistent marijuana use and high school dropout status. Using a unique prospective panel study of over 4500 7th grade students from South Dakota who are followed through high school, we developed propensity score weights to adjust for baseline differences found to exist before marijuana initiation occurs for most students (7th grade). We then used weighted logistic regression that incorporates these propensity score weights to examine the extent to which time-varying factors, including substance use, also influence the likelihood of dropping out of school. We...

My last column was mostly about two emotions, grief and fear. This column will concern two other emotions, shame and anger, and also another kind of stress, bodily tension such as illness and fatigue. Emotions and feelings are at core physical, rather than only mental. Sadness is the feeling we get when bodily preparations to cry are not carried out. In this view, crying is the orgasm of a state of bodily arousal: grief. The habit of controlling emotions by ignoring them turns out to be a huge problem. Over the long haul, unresolved emotional arousals can build up to the point of continuous painful feelings and/or tension....

The TPB is applicable to students' care delivery intentions in the context of HIV and AIDS across the two SSA countries investigated. It is suggested that attitudes, subjective norms, moral norms and perceived behavioural control are key factors in students' willingness to treat AIDS and HIV infected patients and should be targets of interventions aimed at promoting quality health care delivery in this context.

As a medical student I was assured that due to the ‘modernisation’ of undergraduate medical training, the focus of study would be less on basic science and more on applied clinical knowledge. As a result I failed to learn much about the anatomy of the human body which was not within the torso. But of course that was fine as 60% of us would go on to be general practitioners and would not need such unimportant facts cluttering up our brains. Of course, as irony would have it, 40% have not gone on to be GPs and found that study...

Because much of a nurse's work is accomplished through working in groups, nursing students need an understanding of group process as well as opportunities to problem-solve in groups. Despite an emphasis on group activities as critical for classroom learning, there is a lack of evidence in the nursing literature that describes collaborative essay testing as a teaching strategy. In this class, nursing students worked together in small groups to answer examination questions before submitting a common set of answers. In a follow-up survey, students reported that collaborative testing was a positive experience (e.g., promoting ...
