Providing aspirin during pregnancy is a critical intervention proven to reduce the rates of preeclampsia in patients at risk. This quality improvement project prepared family medicine residents to use public health strategies to improve screening of pregnant patients at risk for preeclampsia in an underserved population. A preeclampsia awareness campaign was launched utilizing a publicly available toolkit, while a multidisciplinary team implemented systemic clinical changes to increase the rates of preeclampsia risk factor screening and aspirin prescription to prevent preeclampsia.

Methods: Cross-sectional survey conducted between April and May 2021. The low-risk group (LRG) were considered to be those who had minimal contact with patients; the medium-risk group (MRG) had contact with non-COVID-19 patients and did not perform instrumental airway intervention; and the high-risk group (HRG) were those who cared for COVID-19 patients and performed instrumental intervention with aerosol generation.
The first observation of the semileptonic b-baryon decay Λ_{b}^{0}→Λ_{c}^{+}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ}, with a significance of 6.1σ, is reported using a data sample corresponding to 3 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV at the LHC. The τ^{-} lepton is reconstructed in the hadronic decay to three charged pions.
