Child Well-Being and Family Quality of Life During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background: Little is known about changes in child well-being and family quality of life (QoL) among children seeking emergency department care because of mental health concerns over the course of the pandemic.

Methods: Prospective cohort study of children < 18 who visited two paediatric EDs in Alberta, Canada, for an acute mental health concern. Early and late pandemic time periods were defined as 15 March 2020-14 March 2021 and 1 July 2021-30 June 2022, respectively.

Developing the Standardized Workload Assessment Metric for Pediatric Emergency Departments: Initial Steps Using a Modified Delphi Method.

Objectives: We aimed to develop a comprehensive list of patient care components performed by pediatric emergency department (PED) physicians that could be individually scored on their subjective workload using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX). These "care components," alongside patient and environmental factors that influence workload ("modifiers"), will form the basis of the Standardized Workload Assessment Metric for Pediatric Emergency Departments (SWAMPED). We sought to obtain preliminary workload scores for each care component and assess the face validity of the NASA-TLX-derived workload tool.

Revised Age Estimates for Northern Resident Killer Whales () Based on Observed Life-History Events and Demographic Discounting.

Long-term field studies have been invaluable in the study of ecology and evolution; however, for particularly long-lived species, even long-term studies often rely on estimated ages, for example when investigating demographic processes. One approach is to estimate unknown birth dates from the known timing of other life-history events. Building on previous methods, we update estimation techniques for Northern Resident killer whales (NRKW; ) as part of an ongoing long-term study that began in 1973.

"Like a Hot Potato": Breakdown of Clinician-Parent Communication About Newborn Toxicology Testing.

Objective: Examine the perspectives of newborn clinicians and parents on communication around newborn toxicology testing.

Methods: We conducted semistructured interviews from 2021 to 2022 with 15 newborn clinicians and 15 parents who experienced perinatal toxicology testing. Clinician interviews explored indications, perceptions of use, and attitudes toward parental consent for newborn toxicology testing.

Gene model for the ortholog of in .

Gene model for the ortholog of ( ) in the May 2011 (Agencourt dmoj_caf1/DmojCAF1) Genome Assembly (GenBank Accession: GCA_000005175.1 ). This ortholog was characterized as part of a developing dataset to study the evolution of the Insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway (IIS) across the genus using the Genomics Education Partnership gene annotation protocol for Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences.
