Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the safety and effectiveness of whole-body hypothermia in neonates who have experienced mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), as existing data mainly focuses on cases of more severe illness.* -
- Conducted as a randomized clinical trial across six neonatal intensive care units in the UK and Italy, 101 eligible neonates were assigned to either normothermia or different durations of hypothermia (48 or 72 hours) based on their age after birth.* -
- The study primarily measures the concentration of thalamic N-acetyl aspartate through MRI to assess the impact of hypothermia on brain health, revealing specific outcomes in the treatment groups.*
Objectives: To assess the accuracy of self-reported giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) diagnoses in a large French population-based prospective cohort, and to devise algorithms to improve their accuracy.
Methods: The E3N-EPIC cohort study (Etude Epidémiologique auprès des femmes de la Mutuelle Générale de l'Education Nationale) includes 98,995 French women born between 1925 and 1950, recruited in 1990 to study risk factors of cancer and chronic diseases. They completed biennially mailed questionnaires to update their health-related information and lifestyle characteristics.
Employing numerical simulations, we provide an accurate insight into the heat transfer mechanism in the Rayleigh-Bénard convection of concentrated emulsions with finite-size droplets. We focus on the unsteady dynamics characterizing the thermal convection of these complex fluids close to the transition from conductive to convective states, where the heat transfer phenomenon, expressed in terms of the Nusselt number Nu, is characterized by pronounced fluctuations triggered by collective droplet motion [F. Pelusi , , 2021, (13), 3709-3721].

- Effective teamwork is essential for Child Advocacy Center (CAC) teams, and tailored interventions like TeamTRACS, adapted from TeamSTEPPS, can enhance collaboration.
- The pilot study involved community engagement and feedback from team members through surveys and interviews, which showed that TeamTRACS was well-received and deemed practical for CAC contexts.
- While TeamTRACS appears feasible and valuable for CAC teams, further research is necessary to evaluate its effectiveness and develop strategies for optimal implementation.
Employment of precise positioning techniques will enable low-cost receivers for a variety of applications. The complexity of techniques such as Precise Point Positioning (PPP), or differential techniques that require the use of external sources of corrections, could be a disadvantage for users. On the other hand, a simple technique such as Single-Point Positioning (SPP) alone does not provide high-level accuracy.
