Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the effects of auricular acupressure on sleep quality, mood, and quality of life among parents of kids with cancer, using a three-week intervention with two groups: an active treatment group and a sham group.
- - Results showed 78% adherence to the acupressure protocol, with no overall differences in sleep quality or mood, but significant improvements in quality of life and vigor for the active treatment group at certain times.
- - The findings suggest potential benefits of the intervention, although a larger study is needed to confirm effectiveness for parents dealing with cancer-related stress.

Article Synopsis
- * The project focuses on utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) to extract medical info from ambulance staff-patient dialogues to fill out emergency protocol forms, although there's a lack of established dialogue examples for evaluation.
- * A pipeline was created using "Zephyr-7b-beta" for dialogue generation, followed by refinement with GPT-4 Turbo, which led to a high accuracy of 94% initially, slightly dropping to 87% after refinement; sentiment analysis showed improved positivity in dialogues post-refinement, emphasizing both the potential and challenges of using LLM
Metal oxide sensor-based electronic nose (E-Nose) technology provides an easy to use method for breath analysis by detection of volatile organic compound (VOC)-induced changes of electrical conductivity. Resulting signal patterns are then analyzed by machine learning (ML) algorithms. This study aimed to establish breath analysis by E-Nose technology as a diagnostic tool for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia within a multi-analyst experiment.

(PSOL) was detected in 6 automated endoscope washer-disinfectors (AEWDs) in two reprocessing units during routine check and probing for quality control. Ten endoscopes were probed yielding the growth of PSOL.

Objectives: We aimed to determine whether depressive symptoms and engagement in physical activity differentially interact to predict the combined endpoint of all-cause death or rehospitalization among patients with HF and reduced (HFrEF) or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods: This study was a secondary analysis.
