Article Synopsis
- Researchers need to find out what factors might put babies at risk of being taken out of their homes, especially due to their parents' substance use.
- In a study with 1,808 parent-baby pairs, most of the parents were Non-Hispanic White, and many babies were exposed to drugs like alcohol and opioids before birth.
- The study found that many babies with drug exposure didn't get to go home with their parents, and understanding how substance use affects placement decisions can help improve support for families in need.
Article Synopsis
- Current studies indicate that chemical and mechanical methods for preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) are underused, posing serious health risks.
- The Caprini risk score is a tool used to assess a patient's risk of developing VTE before surgery, and this study aimed to analyze postoperative VTE cases to evaluate risk assessment and prophylaxis practices.
- Out of 23 VTE cases studied, 17 were linked to surgery and hospitalization; 76% of patients received appropriate DVT prophylaxis based on their Caprini scores, while 24% did not receive sufficient preventive measures, highlighting the need for better implementation of risk assessment tools in hospitals.
Pacific oysters ( or ) are one of the most economically important aquaculture species globally. Over the past two decades, ostreid herpesvirus (OsHV-1) has become a major pathogen of cultured Pacific oysters, resulting in widespread mortality with a global distribution. Experimental use of OsHV-1 is challenging for many reasons, including both complexity of host-pathogen dynamics and a lack of functioning model systems.

To better understand why, we collected data with 32 young adults ages 18-30 in Northern California who regularly used cigarettes and cannabis and had diverse sexual, gender, racial, and ethnic identities. Geographically-explicit ecological momentary assessment (EMA; 30 days) was integrated with qualitative mapping interviews.
