Features of Mobile Apps for People with Autism in a Post COVID-19 Scenario: Current Status and Recommendations for Apps Using AI.

The new 'normal' defined during the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to re-assess how people with special needs thrive in these unprecedented conditions, such as those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). These changing/challenging conditions have instigated us to revisit the usage of telehealth services to improve the quality of life for people with ASD. This study aims to identify mobile applications that suit the needs of such individuals.

Time-Resolved Terbium-Based Probe for the Detection of Zinc(II) Ions: Investigation of the Formation of a Luminescent Ternary Complex.

Because of their unique photochemical and photophysical properties, luminescent lanthanide-based complexes have long captivated chemists. In recent years, the number of reports of luminescent lanthanide complex-based probes for monitoring of biological and environmental processes has dramatically increased, namely, because of their selectivity for particular analytes, lower limits of detection, and the fact that they allow monitoring of analytes in real time. Lanthanide-based probes need to be paired with an appropriate antenna/sensitizer to allow maximum energy transfer, with the antenna typically covalently attached to the stable lanthanide chelate.

The impact of survey nonresponse bias on conclusions drawn from a mammography intervention trial.

Background And Objective: This study demonstrates the impact of survey nonresponse bias on conclusions from a mammography trial targeting a disadvantaged population.

Methods: The trial randomized 1558 women to three interventions designed to promote repeat mammography: mailed reminder (minimum group); mailed thank-you card, patient newsletters, and reminder (maximum group); and no mailings (control group). The primary outcome, repeat mammogram within 15 months, was assessed from administrative and phone survey data.

Activity of HspE7, a novel immunotherapy, in patients with anogenital warts.

Purpose: Human papillomavirus causes anogenital squamous intraepithelial lesions, warts, and cancer. Treatment of squamous intraepithelial lesions to prevent cancer often requires extensive surgery. We tested a human papillomavirus-specific immunotherapy, HspE7, as a potential alternative.
