I have three concerns about the description of central venous catheterization in the video by Graham et al.(May 24 issue). 1 First, it is misleading to describe the risk of hemothorax as not applicable when the internal jugular approach... more
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Pedicled flaps play an important role in cancer treatment centers, particularly in developing and emerging countries. The aim of this study was to identify factors that may cause complications and influence the... more
Summary The aim of the present study was to compare the head position and dental wear of bruxist and non-bruxist children with primary dentition.Methods: All the subjects had complete primary dentition, dental and skeletal class I... more
Social wasps from temperate zones have clear annual colony cycles, and the young queens hibernate during winter. In the subtropics, the only previously reported evidence for the existence of “hibernation” is the facultative winter... more
We report a longitudinal, prospective, multicentre cohort study designed to measure the outcomes of gastrostomy tube feeding in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Fifty-seven children with CP (28 females, 29 males; median age 4y 4mo,... more
For diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and under circumstances where patient movement can be modeled as rigid body motion, it is shown both theoretically and experimentally that translations and rotations produce phase errors... more
Different head-and-neck positions (HNPs) are discussed in relation to potential welfare issues. To evaluate the effect on welfare, seven Royal Dutch Sport horses were studied in five predetermined HNPs: (1) unrestrained (HNP1); (2) neck... more
Simple negation in natural languages represents a complex interrelationship of syntax, prosody, semantics and pragmatics, and may be realised in various ways: lexically, morphologically and prosodically. In almost all spoken languages,... more

This paper reports data from recent studies on integrative jaw–neck motor control in healthy subjects and disturbed jaw–neck behaviour in whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). The results show that neck function is an integral part of... more
The authors report 3 experiments that examine a new mechanism by which overt head movements can affect attitude change. In each experiment, participants were induced to either nod or to shake their heads while listening to a persuasive... more
Maneuvering in vehicles exposes occupants to low frequency forces (< 1 Hz) which can provoke motion sickness. Aligning with the tilting inertial resultant (gravity + imposed horizontal acceleration: gravito-inertial force (GIF)) may... more
