Previous literature consistently demonstrates a link between binge drinking and sexual assault among college students. State alcohol control policies, particularly tax policies, are established as important predictors of college binge drinking but have not been examined in relation to sexual assault. This study used merged data on student demographics and...

Background: Access to and effective utilization of healthcare services during the postpartum period is essential in preventing and managing health risks among women after childbirth, ensuring a smooth transition to motherhood, and promoting long-term health outcomes for women and their families. Low-income Medicaid women and those belonging to minority race/ethnicity...
This paper addresses the high model complexity and overconfident frame labeling of state-of-the-art (SOTA) action segmenters. Their complexity is typically justified by the need to sequentially refine action segmentation through multiple stages of a deep architecture. However, this multistage refinement does not take into account uncertainty of frame labeling predicted...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by an accumulation of neutral lipids in the form of triglycerides and cholesterol esters accounting for >5% of liver weight. Excess neutral lipids accumulate in large lipid droplets, i.e., macrosteatosis, displacing the nucleus of cells. Current theory suggests neutral lipid accumulation is the...
People of all ages and ethnicities implicitly use others’ facial characteristics to evaluate their personalities. The field of person perception has identified several mechanisms through which one’s facial appearance may be associated with one’s behavior. For example, a person with an untrustworthy-looking face may elicit negative reactions from social partners,...
Household food availability is comprised of both food purchases and foods obtained from alternative sources, like social networks, community services, and household food production. While the food available at home is associated with eating behaviors, diet quality, and health outcomes of children and adults, the literature on food acquisition of...
Deficiency of selenium (Se) or alpha-tocopherol (E) creates serious health issues in horses. This study evaluated owner supplementation practices and their efficacy at preventing deficiency in a large population of horses. In addition, common clinical signs of horses presenting to a referral institution who had Se and E testing performed...
The methodology to perform bioequivalence studies for prodrug products has not been finalized by FDA leaving the investigators to speculate over the proper approach. This study innovatively utilized the bootstrap methods for testing in vivo bioequivalence on both parent drug and metabolite of four prodrug products: Clopidogrel, Prednisone, Allopurinol, and...
Sotalol is a class III anti-arrhythmic drug with class II properties that is commonly used in the treatment of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in dogs. The anti-arrhythmic effects of sotalol are mediated by an increase in action potential duration and prolongation of atrial and ventricular repolarization via antagonism of the delayed rectifier...
Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common primary skeletal tumor in dogs accounting for 85% of bone tumors and nearly 6% of all canine neoplasms. They are highly aggressive tumors that carry a poor prognosis despite intensive treatment, highlighting the need for more effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Recent research in...
