8th graders gave complete falsification solutions 29% of the time, 10th graders, 42%, and 12th graders, 46%. When only the three familiar problems are considered, 8th graders gave complete falsification solutions 48% of the time, 10th graders, 62%, and 12th graders, 68%. A test for the difference between two proportions revealed that only the 12th grade selected this solution more frequently th...

The present study examined recent alcohol use (past 30 days) among 7th 12th grade students (N = 54,366) in 133 schools. Results indicated that the majority of students felt alcohol use was harmful and difficult to access. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that students at highest risk for recent alcohol use were those who perceived alcohol use to be fairly easy/v...

OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and corticosteroid injection (CSI) are treatment options for plantar fasciitis. Their clinical outcome comparison remains a debate. Also, the thickness changes of the plantar fascia on objective evaluation under the medium energy ESWT and CSI therapy are elusive. METHODS A total of 97 patients with chronic plantar fasciitis were enrolled in t...
