Found in estuarine waters (coastal waters where fresh water from streams mixes with salt water from the ocean resulting in water of intermediate salinity (i.e.

Investigating the association between generalized anxiety symptoms and social and communication impairments of autistic youth.

Background: Past research has found that overall anxiety and social anxiety symptoms are associated with the occurrence of social and communication challenges within autistic populations.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether generalized anxiety disorder symptoms were associated with social and communication symptoms in autistic youth.

Method: The cross-sectional sample was comprised of 253 autistic youth aged 8-18 (196 Males, 57 Females).

Conceal and Don't Feel as Much? Experiential Effects of Expressive Suppression.

Emotion regulation research has routinely pitted the antecedent-focused strategy of cognitive reappraisal against the response-focused strategy of expressive suppression. This research has largely yielded that reappraisal is an effective strategy by which to change emotional experience, but implications of expressive suppression are not as clear. This may be due to variations in experimental methodologies, which have not consistently evaluated suppression against a within-subject control condition, as well as conceptual limitations that have muddled the implications of significant findings.

Low temperature atomic layer deposition of PbOfor electrochemical applications.

A low temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) process for PbOwas developed using bis(1-dimethylamino-2-methyl-2-propanolate)lead(II), Pb(DMAMP), and Oas the reactants, with a high growth rate of 2.6 Å/cycle. PbOreadily reduces under low oxygen partial pressures at moderate temperatures making it challenging to deposit ALD PbOfrom Pbprecursors.

Perceived Social and Emotional Support Among Teenagers: United States, July 2021-December 2022.

Objective: This report uses data from the National Health Interview Survey and National Health Interview Survey-Teen to estimate the prevalence of self-reported social and emotional support among teenagers ages 12-17 years, describe differences in health and well-being outcomes by level of support received, and compare teen- and parent-reported estimates for social and emotional support overall and by selected teen and family characteristics.

Methods: The percentage of teenagers who self-reported always or usually receiving social and emotional support by selected demographic characteristics, and potential differences in health outcomes by level of support, were estimated using data from the National Health Interview Survey-Teen collected from July 2021 through December 2022. In addition, data from the same time period from the National Health Interview Survey were used to compare parent-reported estimates of their teenager's social and emotional supports with the teenager's self-reported estimates.

Dataset factors associated with age-related changes in brain structure and function in neurodevelopmental conditions.

With brain structure and function undergoing complex changes throughout childhood and adolescence, age is a critical consideration in neuroimaging studies, particularly for those of individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions. However, despite the increasing use of large, consortium-based datasets to examine brain structure and function in neurotypical and neurodivergent populations, it is unclear whether age-related changes are consistent between datasets and whether inconsistencies related to differences in sample characteristics, such as demographics and phenotypic features, exist. To address this, we built models of age-related changes of brain structure (regional cortical thickness and regional surface area; N = 1218) and function (resting-state functional connectivity strength; N = 1254) in two neurodiverse datasets: the Province of Ontario Neurodevelopmental Network and the Healthy Brain Network.

Safety Outcomes After Sacubitril/Valsartan Initiation in a Community Teaching Hospital: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Background: Sacubitril/valsartan is one of the main foundational medications in heart failure (HF), and recent data show that it provides a mortality benefit in this patient population. Some of the main safety concerns associated with this drug class include hypotension, hyperkalemia, angioedema, and acute kidney injury (AKI). Other studies have focused on sacubitril/valsartan effects on blood glucose levels, which is a newer concept that has not been as researched.

Effects of permethrin-treated uniforms on tick submissions to a military passive tick surveillance program.

Permethrin-treated clothing is often recommended as a first line of defense against tick-borne diseases. In 2012, the permethrin factory-treated Army Combat Uniform was first made available to active duty Soldiers, Army National Guard, Army Reserve Enlisted Soldiers, and the Senior/Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps. Subsequently, Air Force and Marine Corps personnel were also offered permethrin factory-treated uniforms.

The Bidirectional Engagement and Equity (BEE) Research Framework to Guide Community-Academic Partnerships: Developed From a Narrative Review and Diverse Stakeholder Perspectives.

Background: The engagement of community partners in equitable partnerships with academic teams is necessary to achieve health equity. However, there is no standardized approach to support bidirectional engagement among research stakeholders in the context of partnership equity at each phase of the research process.

Objective: We describe the development of a systematic framework along with competencies and tools promoting bidirectional engagement and equity within community-academic partnerships at each phase of the research process.

Predictors of Depressive Symptoms in Autistic Youth-A Longitudinal Study From the Province of Ontario Neurodevelopmental Disorders (POND) Network: Prédicteurs des symptômes dépressifs chez les jeunes autistes-une étude longitudinale du Réseau des troubles neurodéveloppementaux de la province de l'Ontario (réseau POND).

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify longitudinal predictors of depressive symptoms in autistic children and youth.

Methods: Participants were youth with a diagnosis of autism who were part of the Province of Ontario Neurodevelopmental Disorders Network longitudinal substudy. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the child behaviour checklist (CBCL) affective problems subscale.

Sex and intelligence quotient differences in age of diagnosis among youth with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Objectives: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental condition and is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Research suggests that some populations, such as females and individuals with high intelligence quotients may be a risk for late ADHD diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Our goal is to advance our understanding of ADHD diagnosis, by examining (1) how child sex and cognitive abilities together are related to the age of diagnosis and (2) whether symptom presentation, current internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and demographic factors are related to age of diagnosis.

Brain-charting autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder reveals distinct and overlapping neurobiology.

Background: Autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are heterogeneous neurodevelopmental conditions with complex underlying neurobiology. Despite overlapping presentation and sex-biased prevalence, autism and ADHD are rarely studied together, and sex differences are often overlooked. Normative modelling provides a unified framework for studying age-specific and sex-specific divergences in neurodivergent brain development.

Use and Outcomes of Peripheral Vasopressors in Early Sepsis-Induced Hypotension Across Michigan Hospitals: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Vasopressors traditionally are administered via central access, but newer data suggest that peripheral administration may be safe and may avoid delays and complications associated with central line placement.

Research Question: How commonly are vasopressors initiated through peripheral IV lines in routine practice? Is vasopressor initiation route associated with in-hospital mortality?

Study Design And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adults hospitalized with sepsis (November 2020-September 2022) at 29 hospitals in the Michigan Hospital Medicine Safety Consortium, a Collaborative Quality Initiative sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. We assessed route of early vasopressor initiation, factors and outcomes associated with peripheral initiation, and timing of central line placement.

Excellence in Organ Utilisation-A Quantitative and Qualitative Evidence Base for a New Approach in the UK.

The Department of Health and Social Care in England established an Organ Utilisation Group, to collate and analyse evidence regarding the organ transplantation care pathway, make recommendations on how to reduce inequity of access, make the best use of available resources, and drive innovation in organ transplantation. The group consulted with national and international experts and stakeholders, sought views from service providers across the transplant care pathway, and heard from over 600 people, including over 250 patients, carers, and donors. The group uncovered new evidence about where improvements are needed-particularly in relation to patient experience and inequities in access.
