TL;DR: A detailed framework is presented for understanding the numerous and complicated interactions among psychological and social determinants of pain through examination of the process of pain communication, which considers knowledge from a variety of perspectives.
Abstract: We present a detailed framework for understanding the numerous and complicated interactions among psychological and social determinants of pain through examination of the process of pain communication. The focus is on an improved understanding of immediate dyadic transactions during painful events in the context of broader social phenomena. Fine-grain consideration of social transactions during pain leads to an appreciation of sociobehavioral events affecting both suffering persons as well as caregivers. Our examination considers knowledge from a variety of perspectives, including clinical health psychology, social and developmental processes, evolutionary psychology, communication studies, and behavioral neuroscience.

TL;DR: Type-IIA diamond single crystals containing approximately 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% C were synthesized and their thermal diffusivities were measured at room temperature by the thermal-wave-mirage technique, resulting in the highest room-temperature thermal Diffusivity of any solid naturally occurring or previously synthesized.
Abstract: Type-IIA diamond single crystals containing approximately 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% $^{13}\mathrm{C}$ were synthesized and their thermal diffusivities were measured at room temperature by the thermal-wave-mirage technique. The measured value (18.5 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$/s) of the 0.1% $^{13}\mathrm{C}$ crystal was 50% higher than the 1% $^{13}\mathrm{C}$ (natural isotope abundance). This is the highest room-temperature thermal diffusivity of any solid naturally occurring or previously synthesized. The laser damage threshold at 193 nm for the isotopically enriched crystal is more than an order of magnitude higher than that of natural diamond.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide empirical support for a theoretical model previously developed by Abbey and colleagues to explain one set of pathways through which alcohol and sexual assault are linked, and suggest a more dyadic and dynamic mode of research on this problem, as well as the development of sexual assault prevention and treatment programs for men.
Abstract: This study provides empirical support for a theoretical model previously developed by Abbey and colleagues (Abbey, 1 991; Abbey Ross, & McDuffie, 1994; Abbey, Ross, McDuffie, & McAuslan, 1 99b) to explain one set of pathways through which alcohol and sexual assault are linked. It was hypothesized that the mutual effects of beliefs and experiences with regard to dating, sexuality, and alcohol increase the likelihood that a man would misperceive a female companion's sexual intentions, and that this misperception would lead to sexual assault. Self-administered, anonymous surveys were conducted with a representative sample of 814 men at a large urban university. Twenty-six percent of these men reported perpetrating sexual assault. The results of structural equation modeling analyses provided support for the model. Suggestions are made for a more dyadic and dynamic mode of research on this problem, as well as for the development of sexual assault prevention and treatment programs for men.

TL;DR: This paper explores the role of racial bias toward Blacks in interracial relations, and in racial disparities in health care in the United States, and illustrates how this perspective can illuminate and integrate findings from research on disparities and biases in healthCare, addressing the orientations of both providers and patients.

TL;DR: Analysis of the subgroup of patients who had either microscopically involved resection margins and/or extracapsular spread of disease showed improved local-regional control and disease-free survival with concurrent administration of chemotherapy, and no significant differences in outcome were observed in the analysis of all randomized eligible patients.
Abstract: Purpose Previous analysis of this Intergroup trial demonstrated that with a median follow-up among surviving patients of 45.9 months, the concurrent postoperative administration of cisplatin and radiation therapy improved local-regional control and disease-free survival of patients who had high-risk resectable head-and-neck carcinomas. With a minimum of 10 years of follow-up potentially now available for all patients, these results are updated here to examine long-term outcomes. Methods and Materials A total of 410 analyzable patients who had high-risk resected head-and-neck cancers were prospectively randomized to receive either radiation therapy (RT: 60 Gy in 6 weeks) or identical RT plus cisplatin, 100 mg/m 2 i.v. on days 1, 22, and 43 (RT + CT). Results At 10 years, the local-regional failure rates were 28.8% vs 22.3% ( P =.10), disease-free survival was 19.1% vs 20.1% ( P =.25), and overall survival was 27.0% vs 29.1% ( P =.31) for patients treated by RT vs RT + CT, respectively. In the unplanned subset analysis limited to patients who had microscopically involved resection margins and/or extracapsular spread of disease, local-regional failure occurred in 33.1% vs 21.0% ( P =.02), disease-free survival was 12.3% vs 18.4% ( P =.05), and overall survival was 19.6% vs 27.1% ( P =.07), respectively. Conclusion At a median follow-up of 9.4 years for surviving patients, no significant differences in outcome were observed in the analysis of all randomized eligible patients. However, analysis of the subgroup of patients who had either microscopically involved resection margins and/or extracapsular spread of disease showed improved local-regional control and disease-free survival with concurrent administration of chemotherapy. The remaining subgroup of patients who were enrolled only because they had tumor in 2 or more lymph nodes did not benefit from the addition of CT to RT.
