Persuasion and Licensure: a Randomized Controlled Trial to Increase Licensure Rates among Motorcyclists

Young on-road motorcyclists in New Zealand: age of licensure, unlicensed riding, and motorcycle borrowing.

OBJECTIVES The study aimed to determine the prevalence of unlicensed riding and motorcycle borrowing among young motorcyclists, and to document their perceptions of how they would be affected if the minimum age of licensure were raised. METHODS Motorcycling was investigated as part of the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, a broad longitudinal study of the health, develop...

Rypins' Medical Licensure Examinations

The chapter on solar radiations is well and interestingly done. This reviewer was surprised to learn how little of the germicidal portion of the ultraviolet spectrum is found in solar radiation. Ultraviolet transmission through various types of glass, plastics, other solids, and liquids is considered. Solutions for choosing various sections of the ultraviolet spectrum are included. A similar pl...

Music therapy may increase breastfeeding rates among mothers of premature newborns: a randomized controlled trial.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of music therapy on breastfeeding rates among mothers of premature newborns. METHOD In this open randomized controlled trial, mothers of premature neonates weighting ≤ 1,750 g were submitted to music therapy sessions three times a week for 60 minutes. The endpoints were breastfeeding rates at the moment of infant hospital discharge and at follow-up visits (7-1...

Embryo Transfer with Controlled Injection Speed to Increase Pregnancy Rates: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Catheter injection speed affects depth and placement of the embryo into the uterine cavity and is shown to be highly variable in, and between, subjects in a manually performed embryo transfer. In an effort to standardize the injection speed during embryo transfer, we developed an automated transfer pump: the pump-regulated embryo transfer (PRET) device. In this randomized contro...
