Article Abstract

This study investigated the optical information and control strategies used in visually guided braking. In such tasks, drivers exhibit two different braking behaviors: impulsive braking and continuously regulated braking. We designed two experiments involving a simulated braking task to investigate these two behaviors. Participants viewed computer displays simulating an approach along a linear path over a textured ground surface toward a set of road signs. The task was to use a joystick as a brake to stop as close as possible to the road signs. Our results showed that participants relied on a weak constant- strategy (Bingham 1995) when regulating the brake impulsively. They used discrete values as critical values and they regulated the brake so as not to let fall below these values. Our results also showed that proportional rate control (Anderson and Bingham 2010, 2011) is used in continuously regulated braking. Participants initiated braking at a certain proportional rate value and controlled braking so as to maintain that value constant during the approach. Proportional rate control is robust because the value can fluctuate within a range to yield good performance. We argue that proportional rate control unifies the information-based approach and affordance-based approach to visually guided braking.

Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) following an osteotomy around the knee might be technically more challenging and yield inferior outcome compared with primary TKA. The aim of this study was to investigate the survival, use of revision components and clinical outcome of TKAs postosteotomy compared with primary TKAs.

Methods: Patients from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register who underwent TKA after osteotomy or primary TKA with osteoarthritis as primary diagnosis from 2007 to 2022 and aged ≥18 years at the time of the procedure were selected.

Objective: Valve selection in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) requiring aortic root replacement is challenging given the clinical acuity, unknown patient preferences, risk of surgical bleeding, and limited life expectancy. We sought to identify long-term outcomes of mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic root replacement in young patients with ATAAD.

Methods: Retrospective review of our institution's database of ATAAD was conducted to identify patients aged 65 years and younger who underwent mechanical Bentall (mech-Bentall) or bioprosthetic Bentall (bio-Bentall) for ATAAD from 2002 to 2022.

Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) affects about 20 million under-5 children and contributes to one million child deaths annually. Apart from the presence of clinical management protocols capable of reducing case fatality by 1%-5%, case fatality in hospitals in developing countries averages 20%-30% and has remained the same since the 1950s.

Objective: This study aimed to assess treatment outcomes and associated factors of severe acute malnutrition among under-5-year-old children admitted to Jigjiga city public hospitals.

Background: Risks of kidney failure versus death in diabetes have not been previously quantified across a full range of kidney function. The study aim was to assess competing risks of kidney failure and death in a real-world cohort with diabetes.

Methods: Cumulative incidence functions for kidney failure and death, stratified by baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), were estimated for the diabetes population from electronic health record data at Providence and the University of California Los Angeles health systems.
