Background And Objectives: The study aimed to identify key drivers of vaccine hesitancy among healthcare workers (HCWs) employed at Long-term care facilities (LTCF) within selected states. It also sought to determine which interventions, policies, and programs effectively reduced HCW vaccine hesitancy for COVID-19 and influenza.

Research Design And Methods: The study employed a mixed methods approach, combining secondary analysis of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data, survey research, and focus groups.

Article Synopsis
  • The paper explores how the brain prepares for actions of increasing complexity, utilizing event-related potentials (ERP) analysis during a visuomotor task.
  • Different actions, from a simple keypress to more complex movements like arm extensions and stepping, engage distinct preparatory brain activity patterns.
  • Key findings reveal that as task complexity rises, motor areas show varied activation, highlighting the brain's ability to adaptively anticipate and prepare for different types of movements.

Complex actions require more cognitive and motor control than simple ones. Literature shows that to face complexity, the brain must make a compromise between available resources usually giving priority to motor control. However, literature has minimally explored the effect of the motor response complexity on brain processing associated with cognitive tasks.

Background: Medial intracranial carotid artery calcifications (ICAC) are associated with impaired vascular physiology, increased arterial stiffness and pulse pressure. Their presence might therefore be associated with increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) expansion, according to the avalanche model. We explored the association between ICAC presence and pattern and hematoma expansion (HE).
