In child disruptive behavior treatment, successful parent management training (PMT) outcomes are dependent on parents' use of strategies outside of sessions. This study aimed to identify the influence of parental locus of control (PLOC) on a key treatment acceptability variable: parents' willingness to implement PMT strategies. We sought to investigate this relationship for individual strategies within PMT, given the composite nature of the intervention.

Surveillance of invasive fungal infection (IFI) requires laborious review of multiple sources of clinical information, while applying complex criteria to effectively identify relevant infections. These processes can be automated using artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies, including applying natural language processing (NLP) to clinical reports. However, developing a practically useful automated IFI surveillance tool requires consideration of the implementation context.

Cartwheel interneurons of the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) potently suppress multisensory signals that converge with primary auditory afferent input, and thus regulate auditory processing. Noradrenergic fibers from locus coeruleus project to the DCN, and α2-adrenergic receptors inhibit spontaneous spike activity but simultaneously enhance synaptic strength in cartwheel cells, a dual effect leading to enhanced signal-to-noise for inhibition. However, the ionic mechanism of this striking modulation is unknown.

Purpose: Many children who face natural disasters experience significant mental health consequences. Parents play a prominent role in the likelihood of child mental health outcomes after a weather-related disaster. This study aimed to examine the relationship between parent risk factors and children's psychological well-being post Hurricane Harvey.
