Adults are capable of either differentiating or integrating similar events in memory based on which representations are optimal for a given situation. Yet how children represent related memories remains unknown. Here, children (7-10 years old) and adults formed memories for separate yet overlapping events.

Article Synopsis
- The eastern hellbender salamander is endangered and suffers from chytridiomycosis, a fungal disease primarily caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), leading to symptoms like skin shedding and death.
- At Purdue University, 33% of hellbenders experienced mortality; autopsies revealed chytridiomycosis and a co-infection with Aeromonas hydrophila.
- The outbreak was attributed to environmental stress from filtration failure; after treatment, surviving salamanders have remained healthy for over a year and were released back into the wild.
Background: Opioid substitution therapy (also known as 'opioid agonist therapy' or 'medication treatment of opioid use disorder') is associated with improved health and social outcomes for people who use heroin and other illicit opioids. It is typically managed in the community and is not always continued when people are admitted to hospital. This causes opioid withdrawal, patient-directed discharge, and increased costs.

- The systematic review aimed to evaluate digital health interventions for ICU survivors, focusing on five key implementation factors: Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance.
- A comprehensive search across multiple databases led to the inclusion of ten studies, involving 686 participants and demonstrating high acceptability and satisfaction with the interventions.
- Findings showed that intervention adherence rates varied from 46% to 100%, and retention rates for outcome measurements were between 52% and 100%, indicating promising outcomes for patient-reported health after ICU discharge.
