Radiograph accelerated detection and identification of cancer in the lung (RADICAL): a mixed methods study to assess the clinical effectiveness and acceptability of Qure.ai artificial intelligence software to prioritise chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation.

Introduction: Diagnosing and treating lung cancer in early stages is essential for survival outcomes. The chest X-ray (CXR) remains the primary screening tool to identify lung cancers in the UK; however, there is a shortfall of radiologists, while demand continues to increase. Image analysis by machine-learning software has the potential to support radiology workflows with a focus on immediate triage of suspicious X-rays.

Assessing Physical Therapists' Outdoor Walking Recommendations and Neighborhood Walkability for Older Adults.

Background/objectives: Neighborhood walkability is the extent to which built and social environments support walking. Walkability influences older adults' participation in outdoor physical activity. Identifying factors that influence physical therapists' (PTs) decisions about prescribing outdoor walking is needed, especially for those who are aging in place.

Variation in Avian Predation Pressure as a Driver for the Diversification of Periodical Cicada Broods.

AbstractPeriodical cicadas live 13 or 17 years underground as nymphs, then emerge in synchrony as adults to reproduce. Developmentally synchronized populations called broods rarely coexist, with one dominant brood locally excluding those that emerge in off years. Twelve modern 17-year cicada broods are believed to have descended from only three ancestral broods following the last glaciation.

Designing and maintaining a rescue extracorporeal life support program: A holistic simulation approach.

Rescue Extracorporeal Life Support Programs based at non-cardiac surgery centers have unique needs to be able to ensure successful outcomes despite low patient volumes. In this paper we describe the important role simulation had in each stage of development, implementation, and maintenance of our pediatric Rescue ECLS Program. Systems-focused simulations were used to develop robust workflows, processes, and bundles.
