Objective: To implement an electronic health record best practice advisory (BPA) to promote coprescribing of naloxone to patients at high risk of serious opioid-related adverse events (ORADEs).
Design: This pre-post quasi-experimental study evaluated 9 months of opioid and naloxone prescription data before and after BPA implementation.
Setting: The Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin enterprise is comprised of 45 ambulatory clinics and 10 hospitals, including the only adult Level 1 trauma center in eastern Wisconsin.
The field of phenomics is experiencing unprecedented advances thanks to the rapid growth of morphological quantification based on three-dimensional (3D) imaging, online data repositories, team-oriented collaborations, and open data-sharing policies. In line with these progressions, we present an extensive primate phenotypic dataset comprising >6,000 3D scans (media) representing skeletal morphologies of 386 individual specimens covering all hominoid genera (except humans) and other selected primates. The digitized specimens are housed in physical collections at the American Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of Natural History, the Royal Museum for Central Africa (Belgium), the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and Stony Brook University.

Article Synopsis
- Rumination is a common symptom of major depressive disorder (MDD), and this study explores its structural brain correlates, particularly focusing on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) and the right precuneus.
- While changes in the dlPFC were observed, they were not linked to rumination; instead, rumination correlated with structural properties in the right precuneus.
- The research indicates that this precuneus region is part of larger functional networks associated with executive function, memory, and visual perception, suggesting that structural changes in the brain may influence rumination through these interconnected networks.
Background: Community-based health check kiosks provide opportunities to improve the detection and long-term monitoring of hypertension. We describe the sociodemographic and cardiovascular characteristics of first-time and repeat users of these kiosks.
Method: This was an observational study.
