Objective: The aim was to examine whether a digital cognitive-behavioural programme ('SPARX'), delivered at scale in schools, would reduce depressive symptoms 12 months later.

Understanding and controlling the interfaces between different materials is crucial for developing solid oxide cells (SOCs) with both high performance and durability for low-temperature operation (<700 °C). Current research focuses on evaluating microstructural designs and composite material interactions to optimize SOC performance. Nanocomposite heterostructures exhibit unique properties at the interfaces, which are achieved through precise control of the composition, thickness, and surface chemistry.

Background: Intrapartum fetal hypoxia (IFH) occurs infrequently and many cases occur unexpectedly, highlighting the importance of identifying at-risk fetuses to prevent hypoxic injury during birth.

Objectives: This systematic review aims to evaluate existing prediction models for IFH and ascertain the predictor variables that were incorporated into most models.

Search Strategy: We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from inception to December 2023 for synonyms of fetal distress, operative birth and neonatal asphyxia, with a filter for prediction models.

Purpose: Long-term management of sleep apnea patients treated with CPAP raises questions about the cost-effectiveness of certain resources. With the growing use of remote CPAP monitoring and patient questionnaires, the importance of direct patient supervision by technicians is being challenged. To date, no real-life study has investigated the long-term additional value of a technician in evaluating common CPAP side effects compared to patient-reported side effects.
