Objective: This study aimed to explore the utilization of a fine-tuned language model to extract expressions related to the Age-Friendly Health Systems 4M Framework (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility) from nursing home worker text messages, deploy automated mapping of these expressions to a taxonomy, and explore the created expressions and relationships.
Materials And Methods: The dataset included 21 357 text messages from healthcare workers in 12 Missouri nursing homes. A sample of 860 messages was annotated by clinical experts to form a "Gold Standard" dataset.
Background: Neonatal advanced practice providers (APPs) often work prolonged hours in high-acuity neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). It is imperative to understand how fatigue affects the APP's ability to react quickly following long shifts. There is a lack of data on the effects of shift length and fatigue on neonatal APP job performance and clinical decision-making.

A total of 552 children with phonological fragility were included in this study. The children were randomized to receive the educational protocol (guided arm, = 87) or not (non-guided arm, = 78).

- Researchers captured tiny oil droplets using a polymer brush made from a hydrophilic aldehyde-functional material.
- The brush was created through a specific polymerization process and modified to add aldehyde groups.
- The study shows that these nanosized droplets can bind to the polymer brush through chemical bonds, which can be adjusted by altering the pH of the solution, providing insights into oil droplet behavior on soft surfaces.
