Objectives: Emergency Departments (EDs) frequently care for patients with life-limiting illnesses, with nearly 1 in 5 patients enrolled in hospice presenting to an ED during their hospice enrollment. This study investigates the reasons patients enrolled in hospice seek care in the ED, the interventions they receive, and their outcomes.
Methods: Multicenter, retrospective cohort study of patients enrolled in hospice who presented to an ED within a health system between 2018 and 2023.
Introduction: Broad-reaching, effective e-cigarette cessation interventions are needed.
Study Design: This remote, randomized clinical trial tested a mHealth program and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for young adult vaping cessation.
Setting/participants: Social media was used from 2021 to 2022 to recruit 508 young adults (aged 18-24 years) in the U.
Objective: The Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Success Score (ETVSS) is a useful decision-making heuristic when considering the probability of surgical success, defined traditionally as no repeat cerebrospinal fluid diversion surgery needed within 6 months. Nonetheless, the performance of the logistic regression (LR) model in the original 2009 study was modest, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.68.

- - RNA-Puzzles is a collaborative project focused on improving the prediction of RNA three-dimensional structures, with predictions made by modeling groups before experimental structures are published.
- - A significant set of predictions was made by 18 groups for 23 different RNA structures, including various elements like ribozymes and aptamers.
- - The study highlights key challenges in RNA modeling, such as identifying helix pairs and ensuring proper stacking, and notes that some top-performing groups also excelled in a separate competition (CASP15).
Preschool anxiety is highly prevalent and well known to predict risk for future psychopathology. The present study explores whether a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder in preschool interacts with (a) social skills and (b) cognitive ability to longitudinally predict psychopathology, two well-known protective factors, among a sample of 207 children measured at preschool (Mage = 4.34 years) and early childhood (Mage = 6.
