Identifying Distinct Developmental Patterns of Brain Complexity in Autism: A Cross-Sectional Cohort Analysis Using the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange.

Aim: Autistic traits exhibit neurodiversity with varying behaviors across developmental stages. Brain complexity theory, illustrating the dynamics of neural activity, may elucidate the evolution of autistic traits over time. Our study explored the patterns of brain complexity in autistic individuals from childhood to adulthood.

AI-Driven Enhancement of Skin Cancer Diagnosis: A Two-Stage Voting Ensemble Approach Using Dermoscopic Data.

Background: Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, with melanoma being the deadliest type, though it accounts for less than 5% of cases. Traditional skin cancer detection methods are effective but are often costly and time-consuming. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have improved skin cancer diagnosis by helping dermatologists identify suspicious lesions.

Two-year follow-up of dementia caregivers after a digital health intervention WECARE: a mixed-method study.

Objectives: Few digital health interventions for dementia caregivers, especially for racial and ethnic minorities, include long-term follow-ups. This study assessed the feasibility of two-year follow-up of the Wellness Enhancement for Caregivers (WECARE) intervention for Chinese American dementia caregivers, examined the changes in psychosocial health and explored future strategies.

Method: A mixed-method study was conducted two years after the initial WECARE intervention trial.

Clinical feasibility study of transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair in dogs with the canine V-Clamp device.

Objective: To determine procedural feasibility, safety, and short-term efficacy in dogs with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with a canine-specific device.

Design: Prospective, single-arm (uncontrolled), single-institution clinical feasibility study.

Animals: Fifty client-owned dogs with severe degenerative MR operated over a 28-month period.

Chinese Immigrant Caregivers: Understanding Their Unmet Needs and the Co-Design of an mHealth App.

Background: Immigrant caregivers support the aging population, yet their own needs are often neglected. Mobile technology-facilitated interventions can promote caregiver health by providing easy access to self-care materials.

Objective: This study employed a design thinking framework to examine Chinese immigrant caregivers' (CICs) unmet self-care needs and co-design an app for promoting self-care with CICs.
