AGREEMENT BETWEEN RETROSPECTIVELY ASSESSED HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE COLLECTED 1 WEEK AND 12 MONTHS POST-INJURY: AN OBSERVATIONAL FOLLOW-UP STUDY

Abstract Background Retrospective assessment of pre-injury health-related quality of life (HRQL) is frequently used to measure change from pre- to post-injury HRQL.However, retrospective measurement may be confounded by recall bias.It is assumed that presence of recall bias is influenced by several factors, such as the measurement scale or the inst

Abstract Toe fringes are a key innovation for sand dwelling lizards, and the relationship between toe fringe function and substrate properties is helpful in understanding the adaptation of lizards to sand dune environments.We tested the sand burial performance of Phrynocephalus mystaceus on different sand substrates with toe fringe manipulation, wi

The traditional transient electromagnetic method primarily uses square waves (trapezoidal waves), which lack high-frequency harmonic components, making it difficult to precisely characterize geological anomalies.This paper proposes emitting pseudo-random waveforms during the power supply period to improve field source resolution and enhance transie
