Collective dynamics behind success.

Understanding the collective dynamics behind the success of ideas, products, behaviors, and social actors is critical for decision-making across diverse contexts, including hiring, funding, career choices, and the design of interventions for social change. Methodological advances and the increasing availability of big data now allow for a broader and deeper understanding of the key facets of success. Recent studies unveil regularities beneath the collective dynamics of success, pinpoint underlying mechanisms, and even enable predictions of success across diverse domains, including science, technology, business, and the arts.

Usefulness of Point-of-Care Testing for Respiratory Viruses in a Pediatric Emergency Department Setting.

: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a leading cause of pediatric emergency department (PED) visits, especially in children under five. These infections are primarily viral, complicating diagnosis and management. This study assesses the impact of point-of-care (POC) rapid diagnostic tests for respiratory viruses on clinical and economic outcomes in a PED setting.

Capsular Contracture After Breast Augmentation: Our Approach to Prevent Reoccurrence with Combined Total Capsulectomy and Implantation of Motiva Ergonomix® Implants.
