The cryptic and aquatic life histories of sea turtles have made them a challenging group to directly observe, leaving significant knowledge gaps regarding social behavior and fine-scale elements of habitat use. Using a custom-designed animal-borne camera, we observed previously undocumented behaviors by green turtles () at a foraging area in San Diego Bay, a highly urbanized ecosystem in California, USA. We deployed a suction-cup-attached pop-off camera (manufactured by Customized Animal Tracking Solutions) on 11 turtles (mean straight carapace length = 84.

We asked whether we could apply deep learning, specifically the use of a long short-term memory (LSTM) model, to accurately predict the 180-day risk of DKA-related hospitalization for youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Objective: We aimed to describe the development of an LSTM model to predict the 180-day risk of DKA-related hospitalization for youth with T1D.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to explore the relationship between maternal age and the prevalence of congenital heart defects (CHD) in Europe from 1995 to 2015 using data from the EUROCAT network, amidst conflicting evidence on this topic.
- The research showed that CHD prevalence was higher in both younger mothers (≤24 years) and older mothers (35-44 years) compared to those aged 25-29 years, with specific severe CHD types more commonly seen in younger mothers.
- The study identified increased prevalence rates for certain CHD subtypes, including double outlet right ventricle and hypoplastic heart syndromes, highlighting varying risks associated with different maternal age groups.
Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) and limb body wall complex (LBWC) have an overlapping phenotype of multiple congenital anomalies and their etiology is unknown. We aimed to determine the prevalence of ABS and LBWC in Europe from 1980 to 2019 and to describe the spectrum of congenital anomalies. In addition, we investigated maternal age and multiple birth as possible risk factors for the occurrence of ABS and LBWC.

- The study analyzes the prevalence of nonsyndromic congenital heart defects (CHDs) in Europe from 2008 to 2015, using data from 25 EUROCAT registries across 14 countries.
- The total prevalence of CHDs was found to be 57.1 per 10,000 births, with live birth prevalence at 60.2 per 10,000, indicating stability over the study period.
- Trends varied by region, with Norway and England/Wales showing a decrease in prevalence, while Italy and Croatia saw increases, suggesting not all areas are experiencing the same trends.
