The evaluation of social communication and interaction (SC/I) behaviors is foundational to the autism identification process. However, this type of evaluation is made difficult by the fact that SC/I is a construct in which perceptions and expectations are largely influenced by norms and attitudes of different sociodemographic groups. While there are many factors that influence differences in SC/I behaviors across sociodemographic groups, one factor that may be especially important is the perceived value of these behaviors.

J Trauma Acute Care Surg

Article Synopsis
- Developed an automated electronic health record (EHR)-linked registry to assess risks in emergency general surgery (EGS) using modified scoring systems, aiming to improve efficiency and accuracy.
- Analyzed data from 177 patients who underwent emergent surgeries between 2018-2023, finding an 18% mortality rate and 45% complication rate within 30 days post-surgery.
- The new scores (mESS and mPOTTER) showed strong agreement with traditional risk calculators, indicating potential for better quality assessment in EGS.
Biological organisms engineer peptide sequences to fold into membrane pore proteins capable of performing a wide variety of transport functions. Synthetic de novo-designed membrane pores can mimic this approach to achieve a potentially even larger set of functions. Here we explore water, solute, and ion transport in three de novo designed β-barrel membrane channels in the 5-10 Å pore size range.
