This 1-year prospective cohort study employed 985 cells from three Thai prisons (one prison with 652 cells as the in-sample, and two prisons with 333 cells as the out-of-sample). The baseline risk of TB transmission for each cell was assessed using the five dynamic models, and the future PTB incidence was calculated as the number of new PTB cases per cell and the number of new PTB cases per 1,000 person-years (incidence rate). The performance of the dynamic models was assessed by a four-step standard assessment procedure (including model specification tests, in-sample model fitting, internal validation, and external validation) based on the Negative Binomial Regression model. A 1% increase in baseline TB transmission probability was associated with a 3%-7% increase in future PTB incidence rate, depending on the dynamic model.

We investigated how people with unilateral vestibular hypofunction and healthy controls incorporated broadband and real-recorded sounds with visual load for balance in an immersive contextual scene.</p><p><strong>Design: </strong>Participants stood on foam placed on a force-platform, wore the HTC Vive headset, and observed an immersive subway environment. Each 60-second condition repeated twice: static or dynamic visual with no sound or static white noise or real recorded subway station sounds [real] played from headphones.</p><p><strong>Setting: </strong>Human motion laboratory.</p><p><strong>Participants: </strong>41 healthy controls (mean age 52 years, range 22-78) and 28 participants with unilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction (mean age 61.5, 27-82).</p><p><strong>Main outcome measures: </strong>We collected center-of-pressure (COP, anterior-posterior, medio-lateral) from the force-platform and head (anterior-posterior, medio-lateral, pitch, yaw, roll) from the headset and quantified root mean square velocity (cm/s or rad/s).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Adjusting for age, the vestibular group showed significantly more sway than controls on: COP medio-lateral (no sound or real with static or dynamic visual); COP anterior-posterior (only on dynamic visuals in the presence of either sound); head medio-lateral and anterior-posterior (all conditions), head pitch and yaw (only on dynamic visuals in the presence of either sound). A significant increase in sway with sounds was observed for the vestibular group only on dynamic visuals COP anterior-posterior and head yaw (real) and head anterior-posterior and pitch (either sound).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The addition of auditory stimuli, particularly contextually-accurate sounds, to a challenging, standing balance task in real-life simulation increased sway in people with vestibular hypofunction but not in healthy controls.</p><p><strong>Trial registration: </strong>Clinical trial registrationThis study was registered on clinicaltrials.gov at the following link: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04479761.</p>","PeriodicalId":20189,"journal":{"name":"PLoS ONE","volume":"20 1","pages":"e0317955"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143033873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
