The urachus is an embryologic remnant of the cloaca that usually degenerates after birth, resulting from the obliteration of the allantois, whose role is to connect the bladder to the umbilicus.Incomplete removal of the lumen may give rise to different malformations of the median umbilical ligament after birth.Although in the pediatric population u
A convergence research perspective on graduate education for sustainable urban systems science
Abstract Sustainable urban systems (SUS) science is a new science integrating work across established and emerging disciplines, using diverse methods, and addressing issues at local, regional, national, and global scales.Advancing SUS requires the next generation of scholars and practitioners to excel at synthesis RASH GUARDS across disciplines and
Inconsistent condom use for prevention of HIV/STIs among street-based transgender sex workers in Lahore, Pakistan: socio-ecological analysis based on a qualitative study
Abstract Background A large amount of new HIV infections worldwide is observed amongst key populations which include e.g., commercial sex workers or transgender people and their respective sexual partners.Therefore, this study examined the multi-level context of inconsistent condom use (ICU) in sexual interactions of transgender street-based worker
WARNING: A Wearable Inertial-Based Sensor Integrated with a Support Vector Machine Algorithm for the Identification of Faults during Race Walking
Due to subjectivity in refereeing, the results of race walking are often questioned.To overcome this limitation, artificial-intelligence-based technologies have demonstrated their potential.The paper aims at presenting WARNING, an inertial-based wearable sensor integrated with a support vector machine algorithm to automatically identify race-walkin
Neural cognitive control moderates the association between insular risk processing and risk-taking behaviors via perceived stress in adolescents
Adolescence is a critical period for the initiation of risk-taking behaviors.We examined the longitudinal interplay between neural correlates of risk processing and cognitive control in predicting risk-taking behaviors via stress.The sample consisted of 167 adolescents (53% males) who were assessed twice (MAgeTime1 = 14.13, MAgeTime2 = 15.05).Neura
