Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Clinician Perspectives on the Pediatric Observation Priority Score (POPS).

Objectives: Approximately 50% of children assessed by emergency medical services (EMS) in the United States (U.S.) have no emergent needs.

Attenuation of Chikungunya Virus by a Single Amino Acid Substitution in the nsP1 Component of a Non-Structural Polyprotein.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that, since its re-emergence in 2004, has become recognised as a major public health concern throughout many tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Amongst the insights gained from studies on other alphaviruses, several key determinants of virulence have been identified, including one present at the P3 position in the nsP1/nsP2 cleavage domain of the S.A.

Epidemiology of diagnostic errors in pediatric emergency departments using electronic triggers.

Objectives: We applied three electronic triggers to study frequency and contributory factors of missed opportunities for improving diagnosis (MOIDs) in pediatric emergency departments (EDs): return visits within 10 days resulting in admission (Trigger 1), care escalation within 24 h of ED presentation (Trigger 2), and death within 24 h of ED visit (Trigger 3).

Methods: We created an electronic query and reporting template for the triggers and applied them to electronic health record systems of five pediatric EDs for visits from 2019. Clinician reviewers manually screened identified charts and initially categorized them as "unlikely for MOIDs" or "unable to rule out MOIDs" without a detailed chart review.

Neural effects of memory training to reduce false memories in older adults: Univariate and multivariate analyses.

The growing population of older adults emphasizes the need to develop interventions that prevent or delay some of the cognitive decline that accompanies aging. In particular, as memory impairment is the foremost cognitive deficit affecting older adults, it is vital to develop interventions that improve memory function. This study addressed the problem of false memories in aging by training older adults to use details of past events during memory retrieval to distinguish targets from related lures.
