Background: Seasonal influenza vaccination rates are very low among teenagers.

Objectives: We used publicly available data from the NIS-Teen annual national immunization survey to explore factors that influence the likelihood of a teen receiving their seasonal flu shot.

Methods: Traditional stepwise multivariable regression was used in tandem with machine learning to determine the predictive factors in teen vaccine uptake.

Objective: There is significant variation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes between different regions. We sought to evaluate outcomes of OHCA patients in the interfacility transfer (IFT) setting, between critical care transport (LifeFlight) and community Emergency Medical Services (EMS), in the state of Maine.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of our institution's electronic medical record and the Maine EMS database.

Introduction: Mood-tailored communications may help increase the effectiveness of smoking cessation messaging interventions. We used both self-report and psychophysiological measures to test the impact of mood on responses to cessation messages in adults who smoke.

Methods: In a two-part (crowdsourcing and psychophysiological studies) study, the impact of 30 smoking cessation messages comprised of five themes (i.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted on B^{+} decays to explore resonant structures using data from the LHCb experiment at various energy levels, totaling an integrated luminosity of 9 fb^{-1}.
  • The researchers performed a simultaneous amplitude fit on two decay channels, determining the C parities of resonances in the D^{*±}D^{∓} mass spectra.
  • Four new charmonium or charmoniumlike states were discovered, including η_{c}(3945) and h_{c}(4000), and the presence of T_{c[over ¯]s[over ¯]0}^{*}(2870)^{0} and T_{c[over ¯]s
