Questions about the degree of retention and decay for procedural skills, once acquired but not used for a period of time, have been raised repeatedly in basic and applied research. Despite widespread interest and numerous empirical investigations, definitive answers to the question "How much skill is retained after a period of disuse?" remain elusive. Shortcomings with the literature were identified that limit the ability of researchers to develop models of skill decay for various tasks, including medical/health care, military, sports, and other applications.

The current lack of knowledge on proven treatments for long COVID has resulted in a surge in both demand and use of complementary and integrative health (CIH) treatments. This overview summarizes CIH therapies using the framework of the United States National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, divided into nutritional, psychological, physical, and combinations of these categories.

From the earliest Binet-Simon scales to current times, most one-on-one omnibus intelligence assessments include both process subtests (e.g.

However, the use of known quality improvement tools to prioritize and mitigate these safety threats is an area requiring further study. Over the course of 9 in situ simulations of a pediatric shock case, postcase debriefs were held to identify latent safety threats in an emergency department and a mixed pediatric and adult inpatient unit.

Understanding drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is important in individuals taking fostemsavir with hormonal contraceptives or menopausal or gender-affirming hormonal therapies.
Methods: Effect of temsavir (active moiety) on the pharmacokinetics of ethinyl estradiol (EE) and norethindrone (NET) was evaluated in an open-label, single-sequence, four-cycle, four-treatment study in 26 healthy female participants (study 206279, NCT02480881).
