Predicting Individual Response to a Web-Based Positive Psychology Intervention: A Machine Learning Approach.

Positive psychology interventions (PPIs) are effective at increasing happiness and decreasing depressive symptoms. PPIs are often administered as self-guided web-based interventions, but not all persons benefit from web-based interventions. Therefore, it is important to identify whether someone is likely to benefit from web-based PPIs, in order to triage persons who may not benefit from other interventions.

Interplay of Obesity, Ethanol, and Contaminant Mixture on Clinical Profiles of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases: Evidence from an Animal Study.

Obesity, ethanol, and contaminants are known risk factors of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (CMD). However, their interplay on clinical profiles of these diseases remains unclear, and thus were investigated in this study. Male lean or obese JCR rats were given water or 10% ethanol and orally treated with or without a contaminant mixture (CM) dissolved in corn oil and loaded on two cookies at 0, 1.

Harnessing technology to enable all women mobility in labour and birth: feasibility of implementing beltless non-invasive fetal ECG applying the NASSS framework.

Background: A new wireless and beltless monitoring device utilising fetal and maternal electrocardiography (ECG) and uterine electromyography, known as 'non-invasive fetal ECG' (NIFECG) was registered for clinical use in Australia in 2018. The safety and reliability of NIFECG has been demonstrated in controlled settings for short periods during labour. As far as we are aware, at the time our study commenced, this was globally the first trial of such a device in an authentic clinical setting for the entire duration of a woman's labour.

Anomalous Left-to-Right Shunting Vessel between the Ascending Aorta and Right Pulmonary Artery and Concurrent Left Peripheral Pulmonary Artery Stenosis in a Dog.

• Atypical appearance of continuous shunting vessel warrants further characterization. • A type III PFAA has not been previously suspected in dogs. • Unilateral pulmonary artery stenosis may not impose significant pressure overload.

The use of continuous foetal monitoring technologies that enable mobility in labour for women with complex pregnancies: A survey of Australian and New Zealand hospitals.

Objective: Freedom of movement and choice of positioning in labour and birth is known to enhance physiological processes and positive experiences for women during childbirth. Continuous foetal monitoring technologies that enable mobility in labour for women with complex pregnancies, such as wireless CTG, have been marketed for clinical use in most high resource settings since 2003 but there is a paucity of midwifery literature about its clinical use. The aim of this survey was to determine how often, and for whom, wireless and beltless technologies are being used in maternity settings across Australia and New Zealand and to identify any barriers to their uptake.
