TL;DR: In this trial,BCG vaccine efficacy persisted for 50 to 60 years, suggesting that a single dose of an effective BCG vaccine can have a long duration of protection.
Abstract: ContextThe duration of protection from tuberculosis of BCG vaccines is not
known.ObjectiveTo determine the long-term duration of protection of a BCG vaccine that
was previously found to be efficacious.DesignRetrospective record review using Indian Health Service records, tuberculosis
registries, death certificates, and supplemental interviews with trial participants.Setting and ParticipantsFollow-up for the period 1948-1998 among American Indians and Alaska
Natives who participated in a placebo-controlled BCG vaccine trial during
1935-1938 and who were still at risk of developing tuberculosis. Data from
1483 participants in the BCG vaccine group and 1309 in the placebo group were
analyzed.Main Outcome MeasuresEfficacy of BCG vaccine, calculated for each 10-year interval using
a Cox regression model with time-dependent variables based on tuberculosis
events occurring after December 31, 1947 (end of prospective case finding).ResultsThe overall incidence of tuberculosis was 66 and 138 cases per 100 000
person-years in the BCG vaccine and placebo groups, respectively, for an estimate
of vaccine efficacy of 52% (95% confidence interval, 27%-69%). Adjustments
for age at vaccination, tribe, subsequent BCG vaccination, chronic medical
illness, isoniazid use, and bacille Calmette-Guerin strain did not
substantially affect vaccine efficacy. There was slight but not statistically
significant waning of the efficacy of BCG vaccination over time, greater among
men than women.ConclusionIn this trial, BCG vaccine efficacy persisted for 50 to 60 years, suggesting
that a single dose of an effective BCG vaccine can have a long duration of
protection.

TL;DR: It is important for both researchers/authors and reviewers to seriously consider the rigor that needs to be applied in the design, conduct, and reporting of survey research so that the reported findings credibly reflect the target population and are a true contribution to the scientific literature.
Abstract: We have provided 10 guiding questions and recommendations regarding what we consider to be best practices for survey research reports. Although our recommendations are not minimal standards for manuscripts submitted to the Journal, we hope that they provide guidance that will result in an enhancement of the quality of published reports of questionnaire-based survey research. It is important for both researchers/authors and reviewers to seriously consider the rigor that needs to be applied in the design, conduct, and reporting of survey research so that the reported findings credibly reflect the target population and are a true contribution to the scientific literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used meta-analytic procedures to investigate the criterion-related validity of assessment center dimension ratings, focusing on dimension-level information, and they were able to assess the extent to which specific constructs account for the criterion related validities of assessment centers.
Abstract: We used meta-analytic procedures to investigate the criterion-related validity of assessment center dimension ratings. By focusing on dimension-level information, we were able to assess the extent to which specific constructs account for the criterion-related validity of assessment centers. From a total of 34 articles that reported dimension-level validities, we collapsed 168 assessment center dimension labels into an overriding set of 6 dimensions: (a) consideration/awareness of others, (b) communication, (c) drive, (d) influencing others, (e) organizing and planning, and (f) problem solving. Based on this set of 6 dimensions, we extracted 258 independent data points. Results showed a range of estimated true criterion-related validities from .25 to .39. A regression-based composite consisting of 4 out of the 6 dimensions accounted for the criterion-related validity of assessment center ratings and explained more variance in performance (20%) than Gaugler, Rosenthal, Thornton, and Bentson (1987) were able to explain using the overall assessment center rating (14%).

TL;DR: A relative abundance of Gammaproteobacteria (ie, Gram-negative facultative bacilli) and relative paucity of strict anaerobic bacteria (especially Negativicutes) precede necrotising enterocolitis in very low birthweight infants, at least among infants born at less than 27 weeks' gestation.
