Unlabelled: Thermal spray, in general, is a process that involves forcing a melted substance, such as metal or ceramic in the form of wire or powder, onto the surface of a targeted object to enhance its desired surface properties. In this paper, the melted substance is metal wire generated by an electric arc and forcibly coated on a rotary iron substrate using compressed air. This thermal process is referred to as double-wire arc thermal spray.

- - This study examines how symptoms from sport-related concussions (SRC) and non-SRC recover in young children aged 5 to 12 years over a period of 12 weeks.
- - The research included 1,747 children from various pediatric emergency departments and analyzed their symptom changes using a standardized inventory to gather self-reported and parent-reported data.
- - The findings aim to provide insights into the differences in symptom recovery trajectories between younger children and highlight any variations based on the type of injury experienced.
Background: Service gaps continue in hospital and community-based postnatal care despite a high prevalence of physical and mental health concerns reported by women following birth. The aim of this study was to describe the postnatal journey and the care provided to women and their babies who were at low risk for health complications from birth to discharge from the maternity service.
Methods: A mixed methods design was used to map the postnatal journey, for the woman and baby, from birth to discharge from the maternity service.
Cumulative research finds that exposure to childhood trauma, sleep dysfunction, and high stress levels are prevalent in youth diagnosed with and at-risk for psychotic disorders. However, few studies have investigated the association between nightly sleep and moment-to-moment stress in youth who are at familial high-risk (FHR) for psychotic disorders with varying levels of exposure to childhood trauma. The current study examined the day-to-day associations between trauma severity, nightly sleep duration, and next-day momentary stress in 19 FHR and 19 non-psychiatric youth (ages 13-19 years, 66 % girls).

- - The study aimed to find the best presentation levels for the NU-6 ordered-by-difficulty (OBD) word lists to maximize listeners' word recognition scores (WRS) while using a shorter testing approach.
- - Researchers tested varying presentation levels for 34 adults (with and without hearing loss) and found that the starting level often didn't achieve the highest WRS, needing more than 10 words.
- - The findings suggest using a presentation level of at least 30-40 dB SL above the hearing threshold at 2000 Hz, with a minimum of 35 dB HL, or alternatively using UCL-5 if higher levels aren’t achievable.
