Over the past several years, an online community of self-described "incels," referring to involuntary celibates, has emerged and gained increased public attention. Central to the guiding incel ideology and master narrative are violent misogynistic beliefs and an attitude of entitlement, based on male gender and social positioning, with respect to obtaining desired and often illusory sexual experiences. While violence and hate speech within the incel community are both common, there exists a notable subset of incels who have been willing to act on those violent beliefs through the commission of acts of multiple murder. This study explores the demographic, cognitive, and other characteristics of seven self-identified incels who have attempted and/or successfully completed homicide. The findings suggest that although self-perceptions tend to reflect either grandiosity or self-deprecation, homicidal incels share similar demographic characteristics and dense common clusters of neutralization techniques, cognitive distortions, and criminal thinking errors.Time-to-event outcomes are common in clinical studies. For example, the time to a first major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE, defined as CVD death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or stroke) is a commonly used outcome in cardiovascular outcome trials. Owing to the lengthy time frame and other factors, the high costs of conducting such studies has been identified as one of the major obstacles in conducting clinical trials in the United States. However, typical approaches for designing clinical trials with time-to-event outcomes do not consider study costs. For a given effect size (eg, hazard ratio), the power to detect differences between two groups is typically a function of the total number of events observed in the study. Therefore, the same level of power will be achieved based on various combinations of the total number of participants, length of enrollment and total follow-up times, and group allocation probability. Herein, we provide a general framework for designing cost-efficient studies comparing treatments with respect to continuous time-to-event outcomes. Among the various designs that achieve the desired level of power to detect a given effect size for a fixed type-I error level, the optimal cost-efficient design is the design that minimizes the expected total study cost. The method is general and can be used for Cox proportional hazards models or Aalen additive models, and under various recruitment and censoring assumptions. The proposed approach for designing cost-efficient studies is illustrated for a Weibull time-to-event outcome with uniform recruitment and exponentially distributed censoring time. The case of an additive hazards model is also described. A Shiny web application implementation of the proposed methods is presented.The current study represents the first investigation into feigned Miranda abilities using an inpatient population. We investigated the use of a very generic measure (i.e., the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology, or SIMS) as well as two specialized forensic feigning measures the Miranda Quiz (MQ) and Inventory of Legal Knowledge (ILK). With a quasi-random assignment, 82 acute inpatients were evenly distributed to "feigning" and "genuine" groups. The recommended SIMS cut score > 14 performed poorly, misclassifying three-quarters of the genuine group as feigning. In general, sensitivities on the specialized scales were constrained by the general lack of severe decrements for the feigning group. However, specificities were strong to outstanding. In particular, the MQ floor effect showed some promise but was limited by its small number of items. The strongest potential was observed for the revised ILK scales, especially the Revised Clinical ILK (RC-ILK). When using single-point cut scores on two prior correctional samples, the RC-ILK produced excellent sensitivities (0.94 and 0.96) and outstanding specificities (0.98 and 0.99). Methodological issues and professional implications were discussed in the context of feigned Miranda abilities.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a potentially serious complication of ovarian stimulation in assisted reproduction technology (ART). 3PO in vitro It is characterised by enlarged ovaries and an acute fluid shift from the intravascular space to the third space, resulting in bloating, increased risk of venous thromboembolism, and decreased organ perfusion. Most cases are mild, but forms of moderate or severe OHSS appear in 3% to 8% of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles. Dopamine agonists were introduced as a secondary prevention intervention for OHSS in women at high risk of OHSS undergoing ART treatment. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness and safety of dopamine agonists in preventing OHSS in women at high risk of developing OHSS when undergoing ART treatment.

We searched the following databases from inception to 4 May 2020 Cochrane Gynaecology and Fertility Specialised Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of dopamine agoniss probably reduce the incidence of moderate or severe OHSS compared to placebo/no intervention, while we are uncertain of the effect on adverse events and pregnancy outcomes (live birth, clinical pregnancy, miscarriage). Dopamine agonists plus co-intervention may decrease moderate or severe OHSS rates compared to co-intervention only, but we are uncertain whether dopamine agonists affect pregnancy outcomes. When compared to other active interventions, we are uncertain of the effects of dopamine agonists on moderate or severe OHSS and pregnancy outcomes.Eligibility criteria for randomised control trials (RCT) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) may be becoming increasingly strict. In this analysis, 42 first-line phase III RCTs enrolling DLBCL patients since 1990 were identified from PubMed and clinicaltrials.gov. Changes in 31 individual eligibility criteria were assessed using three pre-defined eras [(1) 1993-2005; (2) 2006-2013; and (3) 2014-2020]. The presence of 15/31 criteria increased significantly over time, and the total number of criteria per study also increased over time [median Era 1 14·5, interquartile range (IQR) 12·6-16·4; Era 2 21, 18·8-23·3; Era 3 23, 21-25; P less then 0·001]. When each trial's eligibility criteria were applied to 215 consecutive patients from an institutional database treated between 2010 and 2020, a median of 57% (IQR 47-70) of patients were hypothetically eligible for trial enrolment. The median percentage of patients eligible was 68% (56-91), 54% (37-81) and 47% (38-82) for Era 1, 2 and 3 respectively (P = 0·004). Phase III front-line DLBCL trial criteria have become increasingly restrictive over the last three decades, resulting in a diminishing proportion of trial-eligible patients, with less than 50% of our patients eligible for modern-era studies. This potentially impacts generalisability of recent trial results and will likely limit recruitment to ongoing studies.As a leading cause of death worldwide, heart failure is a serious medical condition in which many critically ill patients require temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) as a bridge-to-recovery or bridge-to-decision. In many cases, the TandemHeart system is used to unload the left heart by draining blood from the left atrium (LA) to the femoral artery via a transseptal multistage cannula. However, even though the correct positioning of the cannula is crucial for a safe treatment, the long cannula tip currently used in transseptal cannulas complicates positioning, making the cannula vulnerable to displacement during MCS. To overcome these limitations, we propose the development of a new tipless transseptal cannula with improved hemodynamic properties. We discuss the tipless cannula concept by comparing it to the common multistage cannula concept using computational fluid dynamics simulations and assess the flow field in the LA, the wall shear stresses (WSS), and the pressure loss. Across the two distincseptal cannula for MCS.
There is scarce evidence of anatomical risk factors that might affect long-term post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). This systematic review aims to identify anatomical measurements in preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that might be associated with increased risk of urinary incontinence (UI) 1 year after RALP.

A comprehensive search on Pubmed and Scopus databases up to November 2020 was performed. Eight articles met the inclusion criteria and were finally selected.

The selected studies included 1146 patients. Seven articles focused on membranous urethral length (MUL); all of them related MUL to long-term PPI in univariate analysis and five of them in multivariate analysis. Four studies presented MUL difference to measure the magnitude of the effect. Average MUL (mm) was 15.9 (SD, 2.6), 16.1 (95% confidence interval [CI] 13.9-18.9), 12.1 (95% CI 9.7-14.9) and 14.5 in continent patients and 13.9 (SD, 2.9), 10 (95% CI 8.7-12.1), 10.3 (95% CI 8.7-12.4) and 9.3 in incontinent patients, with statistically significant differences in all cases. Five studies presented the odds ratio as a result; although there was substantial heterogeneity in the methods used to obtain it, there was consistency in finding an inverse association between MUL and PPI. Other measurements including prostatic-urethral angle, membranous urethral thickness, intraprostatic urethral length and intravesical prostatic protrusion have been reported in few studies, and no association with long-term PPI was found. Levator ani muscle thickness was related to long-term PPI in one article.

Greater MUL on preoperative MRI is associated with lower risk of UI 1 year after RALP.

Parents' experiences and expectations are key to developing evidence-based approaches that respond to family needs. However, little is known about how parents regard the motor assessments in well-child surveillance and what they need to support their child's motor development. This study explored their experiences.

We conducted 11 semi-structured interviews with Swedish-speaking parents whose children had been referred to a physiotherapist by child health services (CHS) before 18months of age. Consecutive sampling was conducted from March to November 2018. The data were analysed using systematic text condensation.

The three themes that emerged were that that parents liked the CHS setting, but had concerns about the lack of focus on motor development during routine health visits and wanted more dialogue about this area. The parents said that the assessments varied considerably and that their concerns were not always taken seriously. They wanted to know more about the professionals' observations, how their child was expected to develop and what they could do to support their motor development.

Parents wanted a greater focus on motor development during routine health visits. This included advice on how they could support their child's development.
