TL;DR: This work identifies how the primary care physicians in tandem with the pediatric specialist can enhance transition interventions for children and adolescents with SCD.
Abstract: Sickle cell disease (SCD), the most common genetic disease screened for in the newborn period, occurs in ~1 in 2400 newborns in the general population and 1 in 400 individuals of African descent in the United States. Despite the relative high prevalence and low pediatric mortality rate of SCD when compared with other genetic diseases or chronic diseases in pediatrics, few evidence-based guidelines have been developed to facilitate the transition from pediatrics to an internal medicine or family practice environment. As with any pediatric transition program, common educational, social, and health systems themes exist to prepare for the next phase of health care; however, unique features characterizing the experience of adolescents with SCD must also be addressed. These challenges include, but are not limited to, a higher proportion of SCD adolescents receiving public health insurance when compared with any other pediatric genetic or chronic diseases; the high proportion of overt strokes or silent cerebral infarcts (~30%) affecting cognition; risk of low high school graduation; and a high rate of comorbid disease, including asthma. Young adults with SCD are living longer; consequently, the importance of transitioning from a pediatric primary care provider to adult primary care physician has become a critical step in the health care management plan. We identify how the primary care physicians in tandem with the pediatric specialist can enhance transition interventions for children and adolescents with SCD.

TL;DR: Using (15)0-water positron emission tomography to image blindfolded pianists performing a concerto by J.S. Bach revealed much greater deactivations were present for playing the concerto than scales, which seems to reflect a deeper attentional focus.

TL;DR: Five major factors affect performance in parallel logic simulation: synchronization algorithm, circuit structure, timing granularity, target architecture, and partitioning, and it is concluded that five major factors affects performance.
Abstract: Fast, efficient logic simulators are an essential tool in modern VLSI system design. Logic simulation is used extensively for design verification prior to fabrication, and as VLSI systems grow in size, the execution time required by simulation is becoming more and more significant. Faster logic simulators will have an appreciable economic impact, speeding time to market while ensuring more thorough system design testing. One approach to this problem is to utilize parallel processing, taking advantage of the concurrency available in the VLSI system to accelerate the logic simulation task.Parallel logic simulation has received a great deal of attention over the past several years, but this work has not yet resulted in effective, high-performance simulators being available to VLSI designers. A number of techniques have been developed to investigate performance issues: formal models, performance modeling, empirical studies, and prototype implementations. Analyzing reported results of these techniques, we conclude that five major factors affect performance: synchronization algorithm, circuit structure, timing granularity, target architecture, and partitioning. After reviewing techniques for parallel simulation, we consider each of these factors using results reported in the literature. Finally we synthesize the results and present directions for future research in the field.

TL;DR: The data suggest that susceptibility to NIHL among students of music is not uniform and cannot be ascribed solely to the instrument played and other exposures, and no significant associations for instrument group or other noise exposures are found.
Abstract: This study describes the prevalence and characteristics of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in student musicians (N = 329) aged 18-25 years. Students completed a questionnaire regarding exposures before a hearing assessment. NIHL was defined by the presence of a notch 15 dB in depth at 4000 or 6000 Hz relative to the best preceding threshold. Overall prevalence of NIHL was 45%, with 78% of notches occurring at 6000 Hz. The proportion of the total population with bilateral notching at any frequency was 11.5%, mostly occurring at 6000 Hz. There was a significant increase in the frequency of notching in students who reported more than two hours per day of personal practice. There were no significant associations for instrument group or other noise exposures. The data suggest that susceptibility to NIHL among students of music is not uniform and cannot be ascribed solely to the instrument played and other exposures. Students with bilateral losses tend to have deeper notches and may represent a group that has an inherent predisposition to NIHL.
