Aim: As part of the development of a smartphone-based app for monitoring MS disease activity and progression (dreaMS, NCT05009160), we developed six gamified tests with multiple difficulty levels as a monitoring tool for cognition. This study quantified the relative difficulty between levels and investigated their reliability, ability to depict practice effects, and user acceptance.
Methods: Healthy volunteers played each game, covering five cognitive domains, twice per day for 11 consecutive days.
Fire-induced changes in vegetation composition due to fire-regime intensification are leading to alterations in ecosystem services that might threaten their future sustainability. Fire recurrence, in particular, could be a key driver shaping ecosystem service resilience in fire-prone ecosystems. This study evaluates the impact of fire recurrence, over twenty-four years, on the potential supply capacity of ten regulating, provisioning, and cultural services selected as critical services by stakeholders and experts.

Methods: We used the 2010-2019 National Inpatient Sample to identify SE hospitalizations using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM)/ICD-10-CM codes. SE prevalence was stratified by demographics.
Article Synopsis
- Incidence rates of respiratory syncytial virus-associated lower respiratory tract illness (RSV-LRTI) in infants were assessed in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) as existing data was limited.
- The study followed 2,094 infants from 10 LMICs over one year, using surveillance and testing to identify cases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Results indicated a low incidence of RSV-LRTI (1.5% of infants) and all-cause lower respiratory tract infections, likely influenced by reduced viral activity during the pandemic.
Article Synopsis
- Outcomes for infants experiencing cardiac arrest in Asia are generally poor, with significant variations in pediatric resuscitation algorithms across different countries due to factors like training and resources.
- A comprehensive review of existing pediatric life support guidelines from various Asian resuscitation councils revealed both similarities and key differences in aspects such as age criteria for using adult algorithms, chest compression depth, ventilation rates, and defibrillation dosages.
- The findings underscore the need for standardized guidelines and highlight existing knowledge gaps in pediatric resuscitation science, suggesting areas for future research and improvement.
