Detecting noncredible symptomology in ADHD evaluations using machine learning.

Introduction: Diagnostic evaluations for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are becoming increasingly complicated by the number of adults who fabricate or exaggerate symptoms. Novel methods are needed to improve the assessment process required to detect these noncredible symptoms. The present study investigated whether unsupervised machine learning (ML) could serve as one such method, and detect noncredible symptom reporting in adults undergoing ADHD evaluations.

Decoding Anionic Organization of Hydroxide-Fluorides in a Diaspore-Type Network.

The diaspore-type crystalline structure is historically well-known in mineralogy, but it has also been widely studied for various applications in the field of catalysis, electrocatalysis, and batteries. However, once two anions of similar ionic size but different electronegativity, such as F and O or more precisely OH, are combined, the knowledge of the location of these two anions is of paramount importance to understand the chemical properties in relation with the generation of hydrogen bonds. Coprecipitation and hydrothermal routes were used to prepare hydroxide-fluorides that crystallize all in an orthorhombic structure with four formula units per cell.

The antioxidant property of CAPE depends on TRPV1 channel activation in microvascular endothelial cells.

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is a hydrophobic phytochemical typically found in propolis that acts as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular protector, among several other properties. However, the molecular entity responsible for recognising CAPE is unknown, and whether that molecular interaction is involved in developing an antioxidant response in the target cells remains an unanswered question. Herein, we hypothesized that a subfamily of TRP ion channels works as the molecular entity that recognizes CAPE at the plasma membrane and allows a fast shift in the antioxidant capacity of intact endothelial cells (EC).

Prevalence and mortality associated with multidrug-resistant infections in adult intensive care units in Argentina (PREV-AR).

Unlabelled: Data from low and middle-income countries (LMICs) on multidrug-resistant microorganisms (MDROs) in intensive care units (ICUs) are scarce. Working in several ICUs in Argentina, we sought to estimate the prevalence and characteristics of MDRO infections and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) colonization. Mortality associated with MDRO infection was also evaluated.

Hantavirus and Leptospira are important causes of nonspecific acute febrile syndrome, Meta, Colombia.

Introduction: Acute undifferentiated febrile illnesses are fevers lasting less than fourteen days without an evident focus of infection on the initial physical examination or with inconclusive laboratory tests.

Objective: Carry out epidemiological surveillance of the etiology of acute undifferentiated febrile syndrome in the Meta department.

Methods: A descriptive, prospective cross-sectional study was carried out between February 2021 and June 2023 in a first-level hospital in the department of Meta, Colombia.
