Changes in Online Moral Discourse About Public Figures During #MeToo.

During the #MeToo movement, the perceived morality of public figures changed in light of sexual assault allegations against them. Here, we asked how these changes were influenced by the perceived severity of alleged actions and by how well-known and well-liked were the public figures. Perceived morality was assessed by measuring (im)moral language usage in 1.

Association Between LACE+ Index Risk Category and 90-Day Mortality After Stroke.

Background And Objectives: A higher LACE+ index risk category (defined as LACE+ score ≥78) typically calculated before hospital discharge has been associated with increased risk of unplanned 30-day hospital readmissions and early death after hospital discharge. However, its utility to predict poststroke mortality is unknown. Here, we examined whether the LACE+ index risk category assessed at both discharge (dLACE+) and admission (aLACE+) was associated with 90-day mortality after stroke.

Curriculum Innovations: Enhancing Skills in Serious Illness Communication in Neurology Residents Using Simulation: A Pilot Study.

Background And Problem Statement: Patients with acute ischemic stroke are faced with prognostic uncertainty, progressive decline, and early mortality. Many neurologists report a lack of education and experience in providing palliative care. We developed a simulation-based curriculum to improve residents' confidence and comfort with conducting late-stage goals of care (GOC) conversations.

Mechanisms of Cell Death Induced by Erastin in Human Ovarian Tumor Cells.

Erastin (ER) induces cell death through the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is characterized by an accumulation of ROS within the cell, leading to an iron-dependent oxidative damage-mediated cell death. ER-induced ferroptosis may have potential as an alternative for ovarian cancers that have become resistant due to the presence of Ras mutation or multi-drug resistance1 (MDR1) gene expression.

Methods for Estimating Costs for Stays at Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities and Long-Term Care Hospitals.

Objective: To describe and compare 3 methods for estimating stay-level Medicare facility (Part A) costs using claims and cost report data for inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) and long-term care hospitals (LTCHs), the 2 hospital-based postacute care providers.

Design: We calculated stay-level facility costs using different methods. Method 1 used routine costs per day and ancillary cost-to-charge ratios.
