Beauty growth-mindset promotes prosocial and altruistic behavior.

The effects of beauty on judgment and behavior are well-established and somewhat "unidirectional" (i.e., it seems that only beautiful people reap social benefits).

Hybrid filter for lock-in amplifiers.

Lock-in amplifiers are instrumental in the precise measurement of extremely small AC signals within high-noise environments. Traditionally, noise reduction in these instruments relies on infinite impulse response (IIR) filters, which can necessitate prolonged settling times to ensure the acquisition of accurate, statistically independent data. While moving average filters offer faster settling times, their non-monotonic frequency response may not be optimal for noise reduction.

Relatively Poor Long-term Outcomes Following Liver Transplantation for NASH in the United States.

Background: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) continues to increase in frequency as an indication for liver transplantation (LT). Data on long-term outcomes for these patients are limited. We aimed to compare long-term patient and graft survival in patients undergoing LT for NASH in the United States to other indications.

Systemic review and network meta-analysis: Prophylactic antibiotic therapy for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

Background: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is an important prognostic factor for outcomes in patients with cirrhosis. Antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended in patients at high risk for developing SBP, but the choice of antibiotics remains unclear.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of various antibiotics for prophylaxis of SBP based on randomized control trials (RCTs).
