TL;DR: Ground ambulance transport provided the shortest 911-hospital arrival interval at distances less than 10 miles from the hospital, and simultaneously dispatched air transport was faster than ground at distances greater than 45 miles.
Abstract: Background:A retrospective analysis of 7,854 ground ambulance and 1,075 helicopter transports was conducted.Methods:The 911-hospital arrival intervals for three transport methods were compared: ground, helicopter dispatched simultaneously with ground unit, and helicopter dispatched nonsimultaneously

TL;DR: In this article, a sample of 574 college students constructed messages resisting one of four teacher compliance-gaining scenarios and were then labeled as compliant or non-conformity.
Abstract: Instruction in the college classroom is commonly, but inaccurately described as “easy to manage”; simply because students are supposed to have outgrown aggravating behaviors unique to adolescents. In fact, what college instructors face are new types of student resistance to their attempts to motivate on‐task learning behavior. Examining student resistance to teacher compliance‐gaining efforts, this investigation inductively derived a typology of students’ compliance‐resistance strategies that are frequently used in the college classroom. A sample of 574 college students constructed messages resisting one of four teacher compliance‐gaining scenarios. The unitizing and subsequent coding of 2,916 messages resulted in 19 separate categories which were then labeled. Research questions probed the impact of teacher immediacy and type of strategy employed by teachers on student message generation and whether likelihood of resistance was related to the number of messages generated.

TL;DR: It is concluded that devitalized, devascularized anterior cruciate ligaments do not lose strength if the anatomical position and the orientation of the collagen fibers are not altered.
Abstract: We developed an in situ freeze-thaw model designed to simulate an ideally placed and oriented autogenous graft of the anterior cruciate ligament. In this model, the anterior cruciate ligament was exposed, and the femoral insertion, tibial insertion, and body of the anterior cruciate ligament were frozen in situ with specially designed freezing probes. Freeze-thaw cycles were repeated five times. We used the technique in thirty-three mature goats to study the biological and biomechanical outcomes of the devitalized and devascularized anterior cruciate ligament at zero, six, and twenty-six weeks after treatment. Thus, the collagen fibers of the simulated autogenous graft remain in normal anatomical position and the simulated graft is fixed under physiological tension. At twenty-six weeks, no statistically significant differences were noted between treated and contralateral control (untreated) ligaments relative to anterior-posterior translation, maximum force to rupture, stiffness in the linear region of the force-length curve, modulus of elasticity in the linear region, strain to maximum stress, or maximum stress. The only statistically significant difference was an increase in cross-sectional area of the ligament. This increase was 22 and 42 per cent greater than that in the control ligaments at six weeks and six months. At six months, the ligaments in the control group had an average mid-cross-sectional area of 17.7 +/- 1.2 square millimeters and the ligaments in the experimental group, 25.2 +/- 3.1 square millimeters. Changes in the size and density of the collagen fibrils also were demonstrated at six months. These observations are in sharp contrast to our previous studies of replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament, in which an allograft of the ligament or an allograft supplemented with a 3M ligament augmentation device (LAD; 3M, St. Paul, Minnesota) was used. In those studies, an average reduction in maximum strength of 75 per cent for the allografts and 50 per cent for the allografts that had a ligament-augmentation device was found at one year. We concluded that devitalized, devascularized anterior cruciate ligaments do not lose strength if the anatomical position and the orientation of the collagen fibers are not altered.

TL;DR: Examining the importance of differential exposure to infected partners in epidemiologic studies of latex condom effectiveness for prevention of sexually transmitted infections found that restricting analyses to participants with known exposure toinfected partners provides a feasible and efficient mechanism for reducing confounding.
Abstract: This analysis examined the importance of differential exposure to infected partners in epidemiologic studies of latex condom effectiveness for prevention of sexually transmitted infections. Cross-sectional, enrollment visit data were analyzed from Project RESPECT, a trial of counseling interventions conducted at five publicly funded US sexually transmitted disease clinics between 1993 and 1997. The association between consistent condom use in the previous 3 months and prevalent gonorrhea and chlamydia (Gc/Ct) was compared between participants known to have infected partners and participants whose partner infection status was unknown. Among 429 participants with known Gc/Ct exposure, consistent condom use was associated with a significant reduction in prevalent gonorrhea and chlamydia (30% vs. 43%; adjusted prevalence odds ratio = 0.42, 95% confidence interval: 0.18, 0.99). Among 4,314 participants with unknown Gc/Ct exposure, consistent condom use was associated with a lower reduction in prevalent gonorrhea and chlamydia (24% vs. 25%; adjusted prevalence odds ratio = 0.82, 95% confidence interval: 0.66, 1.01). The number of unprotected sex acts was significantly associated with infection when exposure was known (p for trend < 0.01) but not when exposure was unknown (p for trend = 0.73). Restricting analyses to participants with known exposure to infected partners provides a feasible and efficient mechanism for reducing confounding from differential exposure to infected partners in condom effectiveness studies.
