Preliminary data from a prospective micro-longitudinal study (30 days) that examined the co-evolution of return to use risk among people diagnosed with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) in residential substance treatment is presented. Data assessed the feasibility of using the open dynamic interaction network (ODIN) responsive ecological momentary assessment (rEMA). rEMA collected daily estimates on affect, urges, sober-support engagement, and use.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of Obstetric Life Support (OBLS) education on health care professionals' cognitive performance, skills, and self-efficacy in managing MCA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on how decision-making for individuals living with dementia and their care partners can be improved through knowledge translation (KT) interventions, particularly in areas like advance care planning (ACP).
- - Researchers reviewed 22 previous studies and identified 32 different KT interventions, finding that discussions around ACP were the most common focus among them.
- - The analysis revealed that most interventions were geared towards care partners, enhancing their knowledge and confidence, while leading to reduced uncertainty in decision-making for both parties involved.
Establishing validated science programs for students with or at risk for learning disabilities requires testing treatment effects and exploring differential response patterns. This study explored whether students' initial mathematics and reading skills influenced their treatment response to a whole-class, second-grade science program called Scientific Explorers (Sci2). The original Sci2 study employed a cluster randomized controlled design and included 294 students from 18 second-grade classrooms.

- Animal movement is directed by motor neurons that connect the central nervous system to muscles, with complex premotor networks coordinating these movements for various behaviors.
- Researchers analyzed the wiring of premotor circuits in Drosophila flies to understand how motor networks control leg and wing movements.
- They discovered that leg motor modules have a hierarchical structure based on the size of motor neurons, while wing circuits are more flexible in their connectivity, highlighting differences in motor control for distinct body parts.
