Expanding Early Childhood Home Visitation Services in the United States to Reach More Vulnerable Families: A Backward Mapping Analysis.

Early childhood home visitation (ECHV) in the United States is a voluntary service providing health and social support to low-income families who are experiencing, or at risk for experiencing, adversities such as adolescent pregnancy, poverty, and child maltreatment. The federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program funds the delivery of evidence-based early childhood home visits, but these services are chronically under-utilized despite a substantial capacity for enrollment. Of particular concern are the families likely to encounter adversity but are unable to access services due to rigid criteria for participation.

Quantifying protein kinetics in vivo: Influence of precursor dynamics on product labeling.

Protein kinetics can be quantified by coupling stable isotope tracer methods with mass spectrometry readouts; however, inter-connected decision points in the experimental design affect the complexity of the workflow and impact data interpretations. For example, choosing between a single bolus (pulse-chase) or a continuous exposure protocol influences subsequent decisions regarding when to measure and how to model the temporal labeling of a target protein. Herein, we examine the merits of in vivo tracer protocols, we direct attention towards stable isotope tracer experiments that rely on administering a single bolus since these are generally more practical to use as compared to continuous administration protocols.

Deep learning-based approaches for multi-omics data integration and analysis.

Background: The rapid growth of deep learning, as well as the vast and ever-growing amount of available data, have provided ample opportunity for advances in fusion and analysis of complex and heterogeneous data types. Different data modalities provide complementary information that can be leveraged to gain a more complete understanding of each subject. In the biomedical domain, multi-omics data includes molecular (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, metabolomics, etc.

The positive impact of identity-affirming mental health treatment for neurodivergent individuals.

Introduction: The medical and social definitions of neurodivergence have become a common topic of discussion in recent years, and the ways that we define, measure and report on conditions within the neurodivergent umbrella are changing. The objective of this study was to analyze differences in mental health symptom presentation at intake and compare treatment outcomes among three groups: clients with an affirming neurodivergent diagnosis, clients without an affirming diagnosis, and neurotypical clients.

Methods: Data were collected at intake and discharge.

Paramedic clinical practice guideline development in Australia and New Zealand: A qualitative descriptive analysis.

Background: This collaborative study by The Australasian College of Paramedicine's Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) Working Group aimed to examine CPG development practices in Australian and New Zealand ambulance services.

Methods: Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research utilised thematic analysis to extract insights from interviews with eleven experts actively involved in CPG development. The study embraced a nominalist and constructivist approach, recognising the intricate connection between individual experiences and the realities of CPG development in the paramedic field.
