The Role of the School Nurse in Addressing Climate-Associated Illnesses: Mental Well-being.

Human health is being impacted by anthropogenic (human-made) climate change. This article describes four ways that climate change may affect mental well-being in school-age children. First, natural disasters-such as more frequent and intense tornadoes and flash floods-may have a direct influence on mental well-being by contributing to acute anxiety and distress.

Quantum critical dynamics in a 5,000-qubit programmable spin glass.

Experiments on disordered alloys suggest that spin glasses can be brought into low-energy states faster by annealing quantum fluctuations than by conventional thermal annealing. Owing to the importance of spin glasses as a paradigmatic computational testbed, reproducing this phenomenon in a programmable system has remained a central challenge in quantum optimization. Here we achieve this goal by realizing quantum-critical spin-glass dynamics on thousands of qubits with a superconducting quantum annealer.

Clinical capability of modern brain tumor segmentation models.

Purpose: State-of-the-art automated segmentation methods achieve exceptionally high performance on the Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenge, a dataset of uniformly processed and standardized magnetic resonance generated images (MRIs) of gliomas. However, a reasonable concern is that these models may not fare well on clinical MRIs that do not belong to the specially curated BraTS dataset. Research using the previous generation of deep learning models indicates significant performance loss on cross-institutional predictions.

Assessing Sleep Quality in Older Adults: A Comparison of Three Measurement Approaches.

Discrepancies between subjective and objective sleep measures have been reported for some time; however, it is critical to consider the implications of inaccurate or incomplete sleep assessment for frail older adults who are struggling to maintain independence. To compare sleep assessment methods, we collected objective sleep measurements, subjective measures via self-report sleep surveys, and qualitative data through semi-structured audio-recorded interviews, from five older adults who self-reported sleep problems while living in a retirement community in the southwestern US. Participants' objective sleep and qualitative narratives were congruent, but self-report measures failed to capture several unique sleep problems identified in the sample.
