Detection of Zoonotic Bacteria and Paragonimus kellicotti in Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) and the Assessment of Traditional Crayfish Boils.

Abstract: Studies of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) outside of the United States confirm the presence of a variety of zoonotic pathogens, but it is unknown whether these same pathogens occur in P. clarkii in the United States. The U.

The validity of synthetic clinical data: a validation study of a leading synthetic data generator (Synthea) using clinical quality measures.

Background: Clinical data synthesis aims at generating realistic data for healthcare research, system implementation and training. It protects patient confidentiality, deepens our understanding of the complexity in healthcare, and is a promising tool for situations where real world data is difficult to obtain or unnecessary. However, its validity has not been fully examined, and no previous study has validated it from the perspective of healthcare quality, a critical aspect of a healthcare system.

An event-related potential investigation of pattern separation and pattern completion processes.

Long-term declarative memory depends on pattern separation and pattern completion to maintain memory specificity. Previous studies aimed at evaluating the underlying neuronal substrates of these computational processes have used a mnemonic discrimination paradigm and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). An alternative method is electroencephalography and event-related potentials (ERPs), which have a superior time resolution to fMRI.
