This study addresses the challenge of predicting readmissions in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) by analyzing the predictability of readmissions over short, medium, and long term periods. Using health records spanning 35 years, which included 22,643 patients and 30,938 episodes of care, we focused on the episode of care as a central unit, defined as a referral-discharge cycle that incorporates assessments and interventions. Data pre-processing involved handling missing values, normalizing, and transforming data, while resolving issues related to overlapping episodes and correcting registration errors where possible.

- Forensic medicine heavily relies on photography to document evidence, with infrared (IR) photography capable of capturing wavelengths unseen by the human eye.
- A study analyzed the effectiveness of IR photography in identifying 43 hematomas in deceased people, showing that IR accurately detected all cases, while visible-light photography only captured about 53.5%.
- The tonal values obtained from IR images correlated well with the microscopic density of the hematomas, indicating that IR photography can be a valuable tool for identifying hematomas, potentially even in living individuals.
Purpose: To compare postmortem in situ with ex situ MRI parameters, including volumetry, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and relaxometry for assessing methodology-induced alterations, which is a crucial prerequisite when performing MRI biomarker validation.
Methods: MRI whole-brain scans of five deceased patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis were performed at 3 T. In situ scans were conducted within 32 h after death (SD 18 h), and ex situ scans after brain extraction and 3 months of formalin fixation.
When preparing a movement, we often rely on partial or incomplete information, which can decrement task performance. In behaving monkeys we show that the degree of cued target information is reflected in both, neural variability in motor cortex and behavioral reaction times. We study the underlying mechanisms in a spiking motor-cortical attractor model.
