Introduction: Excessive crying, sleeping, and eating disorders are among the most prevalent mental health diagnoses in the first 3 years of life and involve significant health service use. Parents of infants with excessive crying/sleeping/eating disorders report high levels of stress, since they feel incapable of soothing and/or nurturing their baby. Infants' distress can lead to a breakdown in parents' mentalizing abilities and, more specifically, parental mind-mindedness in the parent-child interaction.

Purpose: Venetoclax and Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) are key treatment options for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in the frontline setting. This study characterized postdiscontinuation treatment patterns and hospitalization of frontline venetoclax and BTKis in a national sample of older adults with CLL.

Methods: We identified 1,770 Medicare beneficiaries 66 years and older with CLL initiating venetoclax with obinutuzumab (VEN-O, n = 193) or BTKi treatment (n = 1,577) in the frontline setting between June 01, 2019, and June 30, 2020.

Because of their high spatial resolution over extended lengths, distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOS) enable us to monitor a wide range of structural effects and offer great potential for diverse structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. However, even under controlled conditions, the useful signal in distributed strain sensing (DSS) data can be concealed by different types of measurement principle-related disturbances: strain reading anomalies (SRAs), dropouts, and noise. These disturbances can render the extraction of information for SHM difficult or even impossible.
