Article Synopsis
- Seasonal algal blooms pose a risk to drinking water quality, and oxidative treatment can effectively remove algal cells but releases algal organic matter (AOM) that can complicate water treatment.
- Different oxidants (like chlorine and ozone) impact the molecular characteristics of AOM, with ozone causing the most significant changes in its composition.
- The study highlights that while oxidative treatment can reduce harmful reactions during water disinfection, it may also lead to the formation of new byproducts, including some that could be more concerning for water safety.
Do meaningful dimensions of childhood adversity exist? Data-driven evidence from two prospective cohort studies.
J Child Psychol Psychiatry
December 2024
Background: There is not yet a consensus on the best way to conceptualise adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). We used data-driven methods across two populations to examine (a) if there were meaningful dimensions underlying ACEs and (b) whether dimensions were differentially associated with increased risk of adolescent psychopathology.
Methods: Participants were 18,539 British children from the UK Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) and 11,876 American children from the US Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD).
Purpose: Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome is characterized by migraines, seizures, and stroke-like symptoms following brain irradiation. Diagnosis consists of clinical signs, history of brain irradiation, and radiographic evaluation. The latency to onset varies widely among individual patients, ranging from 1 to 35 years.

- * The researchers developed a new measurement called the restitution threshold index (RTI), which reflects the burden of short R-R intervals and found it correlates with reduced LVEF and improvement in LVEF after catheter ablation (CA).
- * In a study with 104 patients, those with reduced LVEF had a significantly higher RTI, indicating it as a strong predictor for recognizing the risk of LVEF decline and predicting recovery after CA.
Escape rooms are a gamification tool that are increasingly implemented in educational contexts. The aim of this scoping review was to examine the breadth and depth of how educational escape rooms are being used in health professions education, what educational goals are being achieved, and how these objectives are being assessed. Following PRISMA guidelines, a search of six databases using the key terms "escape room" and "health professional" was conducted.
