TL;DR: The Facial Action Code as discussed by the authors was derived from an analysis of the anatomical basis of facial movement, which can be used to describe any facial movement (observed in photographs, motion picture film or videotape) in terms of anatomically based action units.
Abstract: A procedure has been developed for measuring visibly different facial movements. The Facial Action Code was derived from an analysis of the anatomical basis of facial movement. The method can be used to describe any facial movement (observed in photographs, motion picture film or videotape) in terms of anatomically based action units. The development of the method is explained, contrasting it to other methods of measuring facial behavior. An example of how facial behavior is measured is provided, and ideas about research applications are discussed.

TL;DR: The recommendations for concussion management provided here are based on the most current research and divided into sections on education and prevention, documentation and legal aspects, evaluation and return to play, and other considerations.
Abstract: Objective: To provide athletic trainers, physicians, and other health care professionals with best-practice guidelines for the management of sport-related concussions. Background: An estimated 3.8 ...

TL;DR: Female players landed with significantly more knee and hip flexion and had a 5.3 times higher relative risk of sustaining a valgus collapse than did male players, and movement patterns were frequently perturbed by opponents.
Abstract: Background: The mechanisms of anterior cruciate ligament injury in basketball are not well defined.Purpose: To describe the mechanisms of anterior cruciate ligament injury in basketball based on videos of injury situations.Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.Methods: Six international experts performed visual inspection analyses of 39 videos (17 male and 22 female players) of anterior cruciate ligament injury situations from high school, college, and professional basketball games. Two predefined time points were analyzed: initial ground contact and 50 milliseconds later. The analysts were asked to assess the playing situation, player behavior, and joint kinematics.Results: There was contact at the assumed time of injury in 11 of the 39 cases (5 male and 6 female players). Four of these cases were direct blows to the knee, all in men. Eleven of the 22 female cases were collisions, or the player was pushed by an opponent before the time of injury. The estimated time of injury, based on the group...

TL;DR: This study aims to assess the exposure to different stressors and the prevalence of depression among medical students at different levels of education, taking gender differences into account.
Abstract: Objective To assess the exposure to different stressors and the prevalence of depression among medical students at different levels of education, taking gender differences into account.
Design Students were asked to complete a new stress inventory called the Higher Education Stress Inventory (HESI), the Major Depression Inventory (MDI), slightly modified, and questions on suicidal ideation developed by Meehan.
Setting The study was carried out at the Karolinska Institute Medical University, Stockholm, Sweden. Matched controls from the general population were used.
Participants All registered students in Years 1, 3 and 6 were enrolled in the study (n = 342). The response rate was 90.4%.
Results Year 1 students gave high ratings to the workload and lack of feedback stressors. Year 3 students gave high ratings to ‘Worries about future endurance/competence’ and ‘Pedagogical shortcomings’. In Year 6, both the latter factors were rated highly, but Year 6 students also gave higher ratings than the 2 other groups to ‘Non-supportive climate’. In all 3 cohorts students complained of lack of feedback. Female students gave higher ratings than males to 4 out of 7 factors. Several stress factors were identified as being associated with depression. The prevalence of depressive symptoms among students was 12.9%, significantly higher than in the general population, and was 16.1% among female students versus 8.1% among males. A total of 2.7% of students had made suicide attempts, but none during the previous year.
Conclusion Year 1 students indicated experiencing the highest degree of pressure from studies. A gender difference regarding stress levels was also seen, where women reported higher levels of stress than men. Medical students had higher depression rates than the general population, and women students had higher rates than men.

TL;DR: An attempt has been made to conceptually integrate the available evidence with respect to the role of human behavior in the causation of road accidents to show that the accident rate is ultimately dependent on one factor only, the target level of risk in the population concerned.
Abstract: No strategy for countermeasure design or future directions of research in the areas of human behavior which leads to traffic accidents or lifestyle-related diseases can be rationally developed without an acceptable working theory of human behavior in these domains. For this purpose, an attempt has been made to conceptually integrate the available evidence with respect to the role of human behavior in the causation of road accidents. From this integrative effort it would seem that the accident rate is ultimately dependent on one factor only, the target level of risk in the population concerned which acts as the reference variable in a homeostatic process relating accident rate to human motivation. Various policy tactics for the purpose of modifying this target level of risk have been pointed out and the theory of risk homeostasis has been speculatively extended to the areas of lifestyle-dependent morbidity and mortality.
