Impact of Delays in Diagnosis on Healthcare Costs Associated With Blastomycosis, Coccidioidomycosis, and Histoplasmosis in a Commercially Insured Population Open
Among patients with blastomycosis (n = 281), coccidioidomycosis (n = 1920), and histoplasmosis (n = 2180), 62% experienced diagnostic delays (mean 29 days). Patients who experienced delays incurred average excess healthcare costs of up to …

Relative facial width, and its association with canine size and body mass among chimpanzees and bonobos: Implications for understanding facial width‐to‐height ratio expression among human populations Open
Objectives Facial width‐to‐height ratio (fWHR) has been widely investigated in the context of its role in visual communication, though there is a lack of consensus about how fWHR serves as a social signal. To better understand fWHR variati…
