Background: Adult and congenital syphilis rates are rising in the US. The aim of this pre- and post-implementation study was to determine whether implementation of an opt-out laboratory-based and rapid syphilis point-of-care testing program in the emergency department (ED) improves the detection and treatment of syphilis during pregnancy in a high-prevalence region.
Methods: This pre-and post-implementation study was conducted at the University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, TX.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between intrapartum continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and neonatal hypoglycemia (NH) in individuals with diabetes.
Study Design: a multicenter prospective study (November 2021-December 2022) of laboring individuals with pregestational or gestational diabetes at ≥34 weeks. Cohorts had a blinded CGM placed from admission through delivery and were monitored with fingerstick (FS) according to usual care.
Article Synopsis
- Building large-scale quantum computers requires effective error-correction strategies to manage the issues that arise in quantum systems.
- Quantum error-correction codes, particularly the surface code, rely on accurately decoding noisy information to recover correct data, which is a significant challenge.
- A new recurrent neural network decoder has been developed that learns to decode the surface code, outperforming existing decoders and showcasing machine learning's potential to enhance quantum computing through direct data learning.
The effect of positive mental imagery versus positive verbal thoughts on anhedonia.
Appl Psychol Health Well Being
February 2025
Anhedonia, the loss of interest in and pleasure from previously enjoyable activities is a core symptom of depression and presents a major challenge to treatments. Interventions involving positive mental imagery generation have been suggested to reduce anhedonia. However, it is not clear whether the imagery component of such interventions is crucial for these effects.
