Weekend speech pathology services in Australian health settings: A cross-sectional survey.
Int J Speech Lang Pathol
October 2024
Purpose: There is limited research on speech-language pathology (SLP) weekend service provision across Australian healthcare services. Therefore, this study aimed to examine weekend SLP services in Australian healthcare services and explore SLP manager perspectives regarding the provision of these services.
Method: A mixedmethods, cross-sectional survey design was employed.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the factors influencing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the Dominican Republic and evaluates the effectiveness of the CoronaVac vaccination campaign that began in February 2021.
- Using a dynamic model, the researchers simulated the impact of vaccination on hospital admissions, ICU admissions, and deaths, estimating significant averted cases within the first six months of the campaign.
- The findings indicate that while prior immunity played a role, vaccination was crucial for safely increasing mobility in the population without causing additional health issues.
Article Synopsis
- South Asian adults in the US have higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk compared to other groups, and the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions specifically for them had not been previously assessed.
- A clinical trial aimed to determine if a culturally adapted group lifestyle intervention would more effectively improve CVD risk factors compared to basic written health education materials for South Asian adults aged 18 to 65.
- The intervention involved a 16-week program focusing on lifestyle changes, delivered in multiple languages, with follow-up support, while the control group only received written materials; outcomes focused on changes in key health metrics and self-reported behaviors.
We report a measurement of exclusive J/ψ and ψ(2s) photoproduction in Au+Au ultraperipheral collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV using the STAR detector. For the first time, (i) the ψ(2s) photoproduction in midrapidity at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider has been experimentally measured; (ii) nuclear suppression factors are measured for both the coherent and incoherent J/ψ production. At average photon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 25.
