OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy of standard supplementary views and GE digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for assessment of soft-tissue mammographic abnormalities. METHODS Women recalled for further assessment of soft-tissue abnormalities were recruited and received standard supplementary views (typically spot compression views) and two-view GE DBT. The added value of DBT in the assessment ...

PURPOSE In conventional Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) systems a single x-ray source moves over a limited angle arc. This leads to motion blurring in the projection images associated with x-ray source motion and total scan times. We have developed a stationary DBT (s-DBT) system which forgoes a rotating source for an array of carbon nanotube (CNT) based x-ray sources. Here we report the res...

Objectives. To study factors that predict changes in management with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Methods. The Institutional Review Board approved this HIPAA compliant study. 996 patients had DBT with full field digital mammography (FFDM). Univariate analysis evaluated predictors of management change and cancer detection. Results. DBT changed management in 109 of 996 (11%); 77 (71%) requ...

Training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills coaching is desirable for staff in psychiatric settings, due to the efficacy of DBT in treating difficult patient populations. In such settings, training resources are typically limited, and staff turnover is high, necessitating brief training. This study evaluated the effects of a brief training in DBT skills coaching for nursing staff work...

Background and Significance: Implementation science is the study of transferring innovation into practice. Guided by The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), this study analyzes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) utilization in the real world. Such an inquiry informs DBT-uptake in settings, whereby increasing employment of the current gold standard treatment for suicide, n...

OBJECTIVE This article reviews instructional features used in demonstration-based training (DBT). BACKGROUND The need for fast and effective training and performance support that can be accessed from anywhere is a growing need for organizations. DBT programs are one method to address these needs, but a better understanding of how to maximize the effectiveness of DBT activities is needed. Spec...

Circadian clocks keep time via gene expression feedback loops that are controlled by time-of-day-specific changes in the synthesis, activity, and degradation of transcription factors. Within the Drosophila melanogaster circadian clock, DOUBLETIME (DBT) kinase is necessary for the phosphorylation of PERIOD (PER), a transcriptional repressor, and CLOCK (CLK), a transcriptional activator, as CLK-d...

OBJECTIVE Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training is currently being administered as stand-alone treatment across a variety of clinical settings, serving diverse client populations. However, there is little empirical support for this use. METHOD In this systematic review, we identified 17 trials employing a treatment that included DBT skills training in the absence of the other DBT...

In this study, the spin coating of template-assisted method is used to synthesize poly[2,7-(9,9-dioctylfluorene)-alt-4,7-bis(thiophen-2-yl)benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole] (PFO-DBT) nanorod bundles. The morphological, structural, and optical properties of PFO-DBT nanorod bundles are enhanced by varying the spin coating rate (100, 500, and 1,000 rpm) of the common spin coater. The denser morphological d...
