Abstract:
The transversal cut study aimed to investigate the quality of life in ballroom dancepractitioners in Florianopolis – SC. The sample was composed of 402 subjects aged 21to 83 years, who use to attend ballroom dance classes. In order to perform the study,a questionnaire was carried out, which consists of four parts: personal identifi cation,socioeconomic status, dance practice and quality of life (assessed by means ofthe WHOQOL BREF Questionnaire). After carrying the study out it is observed thatballroom dance is searched by individuals in diff erent ages, particularly the youngerunmarried ones belonging to an upperclass. Ballroom dance seems to be an instrumentfor improving/managing quality of life on the four diff erent domains (physical,psychological, social and environmental). By means of Spearman’s correlation thequality of life domain are associated to certain characteristics from which the mostrelevant were the participation in another activity (physical, psychological, social andenvironmental), the age (physical and environmental), the practice time (physical andsocial), and aspects of ballroom dance practice (physical). Furthermore, associationsbetween physical, social, and environmental domains were found. The psychologicaldomain is associated with the social one, and the environmental, is also associated withthe psychological and social domains.

Abstract:
<strong>Objectives:</strong>&nbsp;The study aimed to determine the incidence and expression of body asymmetries in dancers of three different dance styles: dancesport (n = 14), hip-hop (n = 21) and ballet (n = 20) and to examine how body asymmetries (muscle strength and power, stability and range of motion) are associated with musculoskeletal injuries occurring over the past 12 months. Design: Cross-sectional and retrospective study. <strong>Methods:</strong>&nbsp;Maximal isometric voluntary contraction was measured for trunk, hip, knee and ankle movements. Participants performed a single leg stance, unilateral landing, weight bearing symmetry, squat and countermovement jump on force platforms. Passive range of motion was measured for hip, knee and ankle with two-arm goniometer or digital inclinometer (hip flexion, extension and rotations). A retrospective questionnaire was used to collect data on musculoskeletal injuries occurring in the last 12 months. <strong>Results:</strong>&nbsp;Different dance styles were associated with different body asymmetries, including strength asymmetries (hip flexion and external rotation), agonist/antagonist asymmetries (trunk flexion/extension, hip abduction/adduction, ankle dorsi/plantar flexion) and hip adduction and internal rotation range of motion asymmetries. Moreover, strength asymmetries of hip flexion, adduction and abduction/adduction as well as stability asymmetries were associated with the total number of musculoskeletal injuries. <strong>Conclusions:</strong>&nbsp;The incidence of body asymmetries (&gt; 10%) in dancesport, hip-hop and ballet dancers was confirmed, as well as the association of some asymmetries with self-reported injuries occurring over the last 12 months. The cause-effect relationship should be clarified by further studies.

Abstract:
Introduction: Ballon-mounted stentoplasty is the latest cement augment stabilization for osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). The technique is almost similar to kyphoplasty except for stent placement in a created void and filling it with cement. Here, we describe a patient with a failure of balloon inflation in an elderly male presented with OVF. Case Report: An elderly male presented with OVF of the L1 was planned for stentoplasty. The balloon was inserted inside and inflated but beyond 22–25 atm (atmospheric pressure), the device was turning “false” and returned to zero. This happened again with the stent mounted ballon and the procedure was abandoned and vertebroplasty was done. Conclusion: Failure of balloon inflation in stentoplasty due to balloon malfunction is a rare complication that has not been reported so far. Keywords: Osteoporotic vertebral fracture, stentoplasty, malfunction of device, vertebroplasty.

Abstract:
Java Ballon Attraction is an activity created as a collaboration between the Wonosobo Regency Tourism and Culture Office and the Wonosobo Balloon Community. Java Balloon Attraction is an activity that displays sizeable hot air balloon attractions with various motifs being tethered. This is done so as not to disrupt flight traffic. The balloon attraction forms various tourist formations in Wonosobo Regency, such as the shape of Mount Sindoro, Telaga Menjer, and other tourist attractions. The Wonosobo Regency Tourism and Culture Office organized this annual activity, which started in 2019. This research evaluates the marketing strategy implemented by the Wonosobo Regency Tourism and Culture Office in the 2022 Java Balloon Attraction activity. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection uses observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The data analysis process in this research uses the short-term evaluation theory proposed by Tom Watson and Paul Noble. This research shows several findings, including that at the planning level, some misperceptions make the division of work less clear. At the implementation stage, the marketing publications were not carried out according to schedule, the implementation of promotional media needed to be carried out according to planning, and it was necessary to evaluate the measurement of response targets on social media. The marketing strategy implemented by the Wonosobo Regency Tourism and Culture Office for the 2022 Java Ballon Attraction activity did not work optimally.

Abstract:
This two-part article examines the contested transition in London's fashionable ballrooms from the established Victorian rotary waltz to the modern English waltz of the early 1920s. Existing scholarship on the dance culture of this period and locale has tended to focus on issues of national identity, gender, race, class and the institutionalisation of popular dance practices. Although these are of profound significance and are here integrated into the analysis, this fresh study focuses on the waltz's choreological aspects and relationship to its ballroom companions; on the dance backgrounds and agency of the waltz's most influential practitioners and advocates, and on the fruitful nexus between theatre, clubs, pedagogy, the press and competitions in transforming style and practice towards modern English ballroom dancing as both a social and artistic form. Part One discusses the kinetic problems that waltzing couples encountered in the face of ragtime dances and tango, the impact of World War One on social dance practices in fashionable London and the response of the press and the dance pedagogic profession to the post-war dance craze. Improvisational strategies are considered as contributory factors in the waltz's muted persistence throughout the war while throwing light on how certain social choreomusical practices might lead to the transmutation of dances into newly recognised forms. The persuasive role of London-based leaders such as Philip Richardson, Madame Vandyck and Belle Harding in these early years of modern ballroom dancing is brought to fresh attention. Part One concludes with the dance teachers’ inconclusive attempts during 1920–21 to define and recommend a waltz form compatible with both a discrete choreomusical identity and the stylistic dictates of modern ballroom dancing

Abstract:
Case description: Three pediatric patients with urethral stenosis due to multiple etiologies underwent mechanical Paclitaxel coated balloon dilation (Ranger TM). All of them underwent fluoroscopic follow-up at 3 months and no recurrence was observed. Relevance: The worldwide incidence of urethral stenosis in males is 0.2-0.6 %. Currently, urethroplasty is the best therapeutic option. Paclitaxel is an antiproliferative drug initially used as a chemotherapeutic agent and currently used for resolution of coronary obstruction due to the inhibition of fibroblast growth. We advocate for its use along with mechanical ballon dilation for the treatment of urethral stenosis. Clinical implications: Urethral Paclitaxel balloon dilation has shown better anatomic and functional results in anterior urethral stenosis compared with endoscopic treatment, specially in recurrent stenosis &lt;3 cm in third fase studies. The short and medium term results are promising with a success rate of more than 65 %. Conclusions: Paclitaxel coated balloon dilation can be used safely in pediatric patients with urethral stenosis, achieving resolution of obstruction.

Abstract:
Le brouillard est un phénomène difficile à prévoir en raison de sa faible extension verticale et de l’équilibre complexe des processus radiatifs, microphysiques, turbulents et dynamiques régissant son cycle de vie. Malgré une évolution croissante des moyens de mesure par télédétection, les propriétés microphysiques de la structure verticale du brouillard demeurent peu documentées. L’objectif de cette thèse est de caractériser l’évolution du profil vertical des propriétés microphysiques du brouillard et les principaux processus qui les pilotent durant son cycle de vie à partir d’un jeu de données unique.La campagne SOFOG3D s’est déroulée dans le sud-ouest de la France durant l’hiver 2019/2020, avec un dispositif instrumental inédit combinant mesures par télédétection (radiomètre micro-ondes et radar nuage) et mesures in situ au sol et sous ballon captif. Sur les trente épisodes de brouillard échantillonnés au super-site, majoritairement de type radiatif et radiatif-advectif, 18 épisodes ont été validés à partir des mesures de visibilité. L’analyse de leurs propriétés microphysiques au sol a montré de faibles concentrations de gouttelettes (médiane entre 20 et 40 cm-3) . De plus, les distributions dimensionnelles des gouttelettes, majoritairement bimodales, présentent des diamètres élevés, en particulier pour les épisodes radiatifs-advectifs.Les observations in situ sous ballon captif ont permis de mettre en évidence l’évolution conjointe des propriétés microphysiques et thermodynamiques sur la verticale, à partir de 140 profils verticaux collectés dans 8 épisodes de brouillards fins (épaisseur &lt; 50 m) et 4 brouillards développés. Après la formation du brouillard, lorsqu’il est optiquement fin, i.e., transparent au rayonnement infrarouge, les conditions thermiques stables sont associées à un profil de contenu en eau liquide inversé, présentant des valeurs maximales au sol et décroissantes avec l’altitude. Après la transition en brouillard optiquement épais, lorsqu’elle se produit, des caractéristiques quasi-adiabatiques sont observées (profils d’eau liquide croissants avec l’altitude et de température légèrement instables). Ces observations in situ ont été confrontées à l’adiabaticité équivalente, dérivée du modèle conceptuel de Toledo et al. (2021), alimenté par des mesures par télédétection et d’observations en surface. La comparaison montre un accord satisfaisant entre les deux approches, sauf pour les brouillards les plus fins, où l’adiabaticité équivalente est sous-estimée par rapport à l’adiabaticité locale dérivée des mesures in situ par une méthode originale de régression.Les profils décroissants d’eau liquide dans les brouillards optiquement fins sont associés à une diminution du diamètre des gouttelettes avec l’altitude, une concentration faible et un mode de larges gouttelettes dominant près du sol. Pour les brouillards optiquement très fins (&lt;20 m), le maximum de concentration est à l’inverse observé près du sol, traduisant une production de gouttelettes prépondérante en surface, consécutive au refroidissement nocturne. Pour les brouillards optiquement épais, contenu et concentration de gouttelettes augmentent avec l’altitude, soulignant le rôle de la croissance par condensation. De plus on met en évidence des zones de concentrations de petites gouttelettes plus élevées proche du sommet résultant probablement du processus d’activation des aérosols. Ces gouttelettes sédimentent ensuite vers les couches inférieures et grossissent par collision-coalescence, conduisant à la formation de larges gouttelettes (&gt; 30 µm) au sol, associée à une distribution bimodale. Enfin, la distribution devient monomodale lorsque le brouillard se dissipe en stratus. Ces nouvelles connaissances sur l’évolution des propriétés microphysiques du brouillard au cours de son cycle de vie vont ainsi permettre d’évaluer et améliorer les schémas microphysiques des modèles numériques<br>Fog is a difficult phenomenon to forecast due to its limited vertical extent and the complex interactions between radiative, microphysical, turbulent and dynamic processes driving its life cycle. Despite increasing developments in remote sensing techniques, the microphysical properties of the fog vertical structure remain poorly documented. This thesis aims to characterize the evolution of the vertical profile of the fog microphysical properties and the main processes driving its life cycle, using a unique data set.The SOFOG3D campaign was conducted in southwest France during the winter of 2019/2020, with an innovative instrumental set-up, combining remote sensing measurements (microwave radiometer and cloud radar) and in situ measurements at ground level and under a tethered balloon. Of the 30 fog episodes sampled at the super-site, mainly radiative and radiative-advective fogs, 18 episodes were validated on the basis of visibility measurements. Analysis of their microphysical properties at ground level revealed low droplet concentrations (median between 20 and 40 cm-3). In addition, the droplet size distributions were mostly bimodal, with large diameters, particularly for radiative-advective episodes.In situ observations collected under a tethered balloon highlighted a combined evolution of the vertical microphysical and thermodynamic properties, based on 140 vertical profiles collected during 8 thin fog episodes (thickness &lt; 50 m) and 4 thick fogs. After fog formation, when it is optically thin, i.e. transparent to infrared radiation, thermally stable conditions are associated with a reversed profile of liquid water content, with maximum values at ground level decreasing with height. After the transition to optically thick fog, when it occurs, quasi-adiabatic features are observed (liquid water profiles increasing with height and slightly unstable temperature profiles).These in situ observations were compared with the equivalent adiabaticity, derived from the conceptual model of Toledo et al (2021), based on remote sensing measurements and surface observations. The comparison shows satisfactory agreement between the two approaches, with the exception of very thin fogs, where the equivalent adiabaticity is underestimated compared with local adiabaticity, derived from in situ measurements, using an original regression method.Decreasing liquid water profiles in optically thin fogs are associated with decreasing droplet diameters with height, low concentrations and a dominant mode of large droplets near the ground. For optically very thin fogs (&lt;20 m), maximum concentrations are observed near the ground, indicating a predominant droplet production at the surface, following radiative cooling. In optically thick fogs, droplet content and concentration increase with height, illustrating the importance of condensation growth. In addition, we find areas of higher concentration of small droplets near the top, resulting probably from aerosol activation. These droplets then settle towards the lower layers and grow by collision-coalescence, leading to the formation of large droplets (&gt; 30 µm) at ground level, associated with a bimodal distribution. Finally, the distribution becomes monomodal when the fog dissipates into stratus. This new knowledge of the evolution of the fog microphysical properties during its life cycle make it possible to evaluate and improve the microphysical schemes in numerical models

Abstract:
Dans un contexte actuel préoccupé par la couche d’ozone et son recouvrement ainsi que par le réchauffement global, comprendre, représenter et modéliser la dynamique stratosphérique sont des enjeux majeurs. Une question récurrente est de pouvoir évaluer les biais des modèles à haute altitude dans la stratosphère. Or la stratosphère est une couche de l’atmosphère difficilement accessible à la mesure. Une solution est d’extraire des informations en analysant les trajectoires des ballons qui sont essentiellement conditionnées par les mouvements des masses d’air. Ces travaux de thèse ont donné naissance à une banque de données rassemblant des mesures de vent, de température et de pression issues des vols de ballons stratosphériques sur une période de plus de 20 ans à des régions variées (région polaire arctique, à moyenne latitude et en régions intertropicales) et à différentes saisons. Une méthode d’analyse des biais mesures/modèle a été mise en place et appliquée aux réanalyses ERA-Interim. Par comparaison avec une précédente étude faite dans des conditions de vortex polaire, les mesures ainsi que la méthode d’analyse des biais ont été validées. Enfin, une analyse systématique des biais sur le vent à haute altitude dans la stratosphère considérant plusieurs régions à différentes saisons a été implémentée. Les résultats montrent que les biais dans les réanalyses ERA-Interim varient et augmentent en fonction de l’altitude. Les régions associées à des régimes bien établis sont plutôt bien représentées alors que les zones de transition ou de changement de circulation présentent plus de difficultés. D’une manière générale, les résultats de biais rapportent que les réanalyses ERA-Interim sous-estiment la vitesse du vent dans la stratosphère<br>In a current context focused on the ozone layer recovery and on the global warming, understand, represent and model the stratospheric dynamic became major issues. Realism of these models needs to be assessed. Unfortunately the stratosphere is an atmospheric layer hardly accessible to measurements. Balloons trajectories are mainly depending on the air masses displacements. Extract measurements from balloon trajectories is a solution. These works led to the creation of a database which contains winds, temperature and pressure measurements from stratospheric balloons flights data collected over a time period of more 20 years at several locations (arctic polar region, at mid-latitude and in tropics) and at different seasons. A methodology of winds biases analysis has been developed and has been applied to the ERA-Interim reanalysis data. By comparing our results with a previous study, we have been able to validate the database and the winds biases analyse methodology. A systematic analyse of winds biases at high altitude in the stratosphere considering several locations/seasons has been implemented. The results show the biases in ERA-Interim reanalyses vary and rise as function of the altitude. The locations which are associated to well established circulations are rather well represented while the locations where the variability is higher present more difficulty. Globally biases results report ERA-Interim reanalyses underestimate wind speed in the stratosphere

Abstract:
Thesis (M.Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2003.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 465).<br>This thesis presents the design and development of the initial offerings in a potential suite of computer aids for ballroom dance competitions. The suite of tools is known by the name CompinaBox; while the initial module which handles on-line registration for competitions is named SlidingDoors. The tools have been developed using the PHP programming language a scripting language that is easily embeddable within the HTML used to create web-pages. The PostGreSQL database system is used to handle all data storage requirements. The registration component was selected as the initial tool because it provides the data needed by practically all of the other possible tools. SlidingDoors has been coded from scratch twice, under two radically different coding methodologies. The first was in accordance with "common" web-programming views and a completely dynamic page generation model. The second was along the more traditional software engineering model and used more static page generation. As the story of the tool development unfolds, trade-offs between the two approaches are discussed.<br>by Eric D. Nielsen.<br>M.Eng.

Abstract:
This collection of drawings and paintings presents a proposal for a ballroom dance center in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The building is unnecessarily generous with the most essential elements and exaggerates non-essential elements in a way enhances their redundancy. Layered glulam ceilings cover the two main spaces and evoke the hidden structure of the sprung dance floor below. The ceiling is reflected in the pattern of the hardwood floors, and the ballroom is reflected in the pool outside its layered facade. Layers of concrete walls create thresholds and add depth to the views between spaces. Light, material, and people follow indirect paths through the building and its detailed elements.<br>Master of Architecture

Abstract:
AbstractIn Chapter 5 basic fluid mechanical equations are derived step by step. First, the continuity equation is deduced with the help of a ballon which passes through a constriction. Second, Cauchy’s equation of motion is set up with the stresses acting on a fluid volume which is described once more with a balloon that moves upon application of stress and gravity. The constitutive equation which describes the properties of the fluid considered is elaborated also from the scratch. With the above mentioned steps, it is easy to reach to the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations from which the Bernoulli and the momentum equation are derived.

Abstract:
In May 1989 the first balloon flight of the MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) instrument took place from Aire-sur-l'Adour (France). A ballon launched by CNES carried the payload to an average altitude of about 33 km. After reaching the floating altitude, a lot of stratospheric and tropospheric limb emission spectra were taken during the night from May 17 to May 18, 1989. A description of the intrument, experimental details and data preprocessing can be found elsewhere (Fischer et al. 1990; Oelhaf et al. 1991). Though the first flight was planned to be only a technological experiment, it produced a lot of spectra of scientific value.

Abstract:
Abstract A Nonlinear finite element method was employed to analyze the inflation of a Swan-Ganz® catheter balloon and subsequent interaction of the balloon with the pulmonary artery. Inflation of balloon in-vitro was performed and the experimental results compared with the numerical analysis to verify the computer simulation. Interaction between the inflated balloon and the pulmonary artery was also simulated to determine the effects of the interaction on both balloon and the arterial wall. Material properties of the balloon were derived from experimental data. Size and properties of the pulmonary artery were varied to account for the variations of the location in the pulmonary artery where the balloon is positioned and the physiologic condition of the patients pulmonary vasculature.

Full text
Abstract:
A healthy, well-functioning democracy depends on every voter having equal and effective access to the ballot. Science has shown that poorly designed ballots create significant barriers to effective participation, leading to thousands of uncounted votes each election, with ballot design flaws disproportionately affecting Black, Hispanic, low-income, and older voters. To assess the state of ballot usability, we analyzed eight counties’ 2024 sample ballots from select jurisdictions in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania using 10 equitable ballot design recommendations established in an earlier study. We find that no county achieved a perfect score, with the highest-scoring ballot following about 70 percent of the recommendations. This highlights considerable room for improvement in ballot clarity and usability. Although election administrators must navigate considerable constraints to certain elements of ballot design, many choices can be made at their discretion to enhance accessibility. Our findings reinforce the need for continued analysis.

Abstract:
A healthy democracy requires that every citizen has an equal and effective vote. Further, all voters should be able to express their preferences easily and be confident that every effort has been made to record and count those preferences accurately. Unfortunately, poor ballot design hampers citizens’ ability to express their preferences. Inaccessible voter education materials limit voters’ ability to learn the information vital to participating in elections. Conversely, effective ballot and voter education design can lower ballot rejection rates, decrease the number of ballots that require curing, decrease the time it takes to vote, increase voter turnout, and ensure that every voter’s ballot is counted. This report reviews current policies across multiple states, including three states of interest: Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. We summarize nationwide best practices and suggest a series of evidence-based recommendations to improve ballot design, language and disability accessibility, and voter education materials.

Abstract:
This study visualizes data from the 2020 Presidential election from 11 counties in 7 electoral prominent states. Specifically, this study displays voter turnout rates and ballot rejection rates by the electoral precinct in the Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Raleigh-Durham metropolitan areas. The demographic make-up of these 11 counties are also included in the visualization. Examination of the data indicates that racial inequality is a large threat fair representation as voter turnout is generally lower, and ballot rejection rates are generally higher in precincts that are majority people of color. Further, the analysis shows that claims about large-scale illegal voting are absolutely false.

Full text
Abstract:
Objectives. To assess the comparative effectiveness and potential harms of cervical ripening in the outpatient setting (vs. inpatient, vs. other outpatient intervention) and of fetal surveillance when a prostaglandin is used for cervical ripening. Data sources. Electronic databases (Ovid® MEDLINE®, Embase®, CINAHL®, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) to July 2020; reference lists; and a Federal Register notice. Review methods. Using predefined criteria and dual review, we selected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies of cervical ripening comparing prostaglandins and mechanical methods in outpatient versus inpatient settings; one outpatient method versus another (including placebo or expectant management); and different methods/protocols for fetal surveillance in cervical ripening using prostaglandins. When data from similar study designs, populations, and outcomes were available, random effects using profile likelihood meta-analyses were conducted. Inconsistency (using I2) and small sample size bias (publication bias, if ≥10 studies) were assessed. Strength of evidence (SOE) was assessed. All review methods followed Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center methods guidance. Results. We included 30 RCTs and 10 cohort studies (73% fair quality) involving 9,618 women. The evidence is most applicable to women aged 25 to 30 years with singleton, vertex presentation and low-risk pregnancies. No studies on fetal surveillance were found. The frequency of cesarean delivery (2 RCTs, 4 cohort studies) or suspected neonatal sepsis (2 RCTs) was not significantly different using outpatient versus inpatient dinoprostone for cervical ripening (SOE: low). In comparisons of outpatient versus inpatient single-balloon catheters (3 RCTs, 2 cohort studies), differences between groups on cesarean delivery, birth trauma (e.g., cephalohematoma), and uterine infection were small and not statistically significant (SOE: low), and while shoulder dystocia occurred less frequently in the outpatient group (1 RCT; 3% vs. 11%), the difference was not statistically significant (SOE: low). In comparing outpatient catheters and inpatient dinoprostone (1 double-balloon and 1 single-balloon RCT), the difference between groups for both cesarean delivery and postpartum hemorrhage was small and not statistically significant (SOE: low). Evidence on other outcomes in these comparisons and for misoprostol, double-balloon catheters, and hygroscopic dilators was insufficient to draw conclusions. In head to head comparisons in the outpatient setting, the frequency of cesarean delivery was not significantly different between 2.5 mg and 5 mg dinoprostone gel, or latex and silicone single-balloon catheters (1 RCT each, SOE: low). Differences between prostaglandins and placebo for cervical ripening were small and not significantly different for cesarean delivery (12 RCTs), shoulder dystocia (3 RCTs), or uterine infection (7 RCTs) (SOE: low). These findings did not change according to the specific prostaglandin, route of administration, study quality, or gestational age. Small, nonsignificant differences in the frequency of cesarean delivery (6 RCTs) and uterine infection (3 RCTs) were also found between dinoprostone and either membrane sweeping or expectant management (SOE: low). These findings did not change according to the specific prostaglandin or study quality. Evidence on other comparisons (e.g., single-balloon catheter vs. dinoprostone) or other outcomes was insufficient. For all comparisons, there was insufficient evidence on other important outcomes such as perinatal mortality and time from admission to vaginal birth. Limitations of the evidence include the quantity, quality, and sample sizes of trials for specific interventions, particularly rare harm outcomes. Conclusions. In women with low-risk pregnancies, the risk of cesarean delivery and fetal, neonatal, or maternal harms using either dinoprostone or single-balloon catheters was not significantly different for cervical ripening in the outpatient versus inpatient setting, and similar when compared with placebo, expectant management, or membrane sweeping in the outpatient setting. This evidence is low strength, and future studies are needed to confirm these findings.
