OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop and validate a scoring system for bowel dysfunction after low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer, on the basis of symptoms and impact on quality of life (QoL). BACKGROUND LAR for rectal cancer often results in severe bowel dysfunction (LAR syndrome [LARS]) with incontinence, urgency, and frequent bowel movements. Several studies have inve...

set up to see who can catch the most. The Environment Education Foundation hosted its third ‘lionfish derby’ last month off Florida, outside the reserve, with more than $3,000 in prize money for the team catching the most fish — 109 were killed. In the waters around the Bahamas, which don’t have the same protection as Florida Keys, more than 2,000 lionfish have been killed over the past two yea...

I have enjoyed reading the work of each of these authors over the years, so it is a real pleasure to have this opportunity to contribute to the discussion of this collaboration. The geometry of LARS furnishes an elegant bridge between the Lasso and Stagewise regression, methods that I would not have suspected to be so related. Toward my own interests, LARS offers a rather different way to const...

INTRODUCTION To date, no rating scales for detecting apathy in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients have been validated in Spanish. For this reason, the aim of this study was to validate a Spanish version of Lille apathy rating scale (LARS) in a cohort of PD patients from Spain. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS 130 PD patients and 70 healthy controls were recruited to participate in the study. Apathy wa...

With the growth of the low altitude remote sensing (LARS) industry in recent years, their practical application in precision agriculture seems all the more possible. However, only a few scientists have reported using LARS to monitor crop conditions. Moreover, there have been concerns regarding the feasibility of such systems for producers given the issues related to the post-processing of image...

BACKGROUND Graft choice for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is of critical importance. Various grafts have been used so far, with autografts long considered the optimal solution for the treatment of ACL-deficient knees. Limited data are available on the long-term survivorship of synthetic grafts. PURPOSE To compare the functional outcome and survivorship of ACL reconstructions...
