Slow rates of habituation are cross-sectionally related to greater energy intake and body weight. The present study is designed to assess whether slow rates of habituation are prospectively related to zBMI change over a 12 month period in 66 lean 8-12 year-old children, and whether the rate of habituation is a stable behavioral phenotype. Results showed that slower rates of habituation predicted greater zBMI change, controlling for child sex, age, initial zBMI, dietary awareness and minority status. In addition, the rate of habituation was stable over the year of observation. These data suggest that slow rates of habituation may be a risk factor for weight gain and the development of obesity. Future research is needed to understand the mechanism for this effect, and assess whether the habituation phenotype interacts with other behavioral phenotypes, such as food reinforcement, to influence increases in zBMI.

Short-term costs of alcohol-associated hepatitis care in different clinical settings.
Hepatol Commun
February 2025
Department of Biostatistics & Health Data Science, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Background: Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) leads to high rates of mortality and health care costs. Understanding the immediate costs after an AH diagnosis and identifying key cost factors is crucial for health care policies and clinical decisions.
Objectives: This study quantifies medical costs within 30 days of an AH diagnosis across outpatient (OP), emergency department (ED), and inpatient (IP) settings.
Poor sleep quality remains a major challenge among tertiary education students in Ghana: A cross-sectional study in a Ghanaian University.

Department of Medical Laboratory Science, School of Allied Health Sciences, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana.
Introduction: Sleep plays a crucial role in health, well-being, and academic performance. Despite the recognized importance of good sleep for students, there is a need for a deeper understanding of the sleep problems faced by university students to inform effective campus support services and interventions. This study aimed to evaluate sleep quality among university students by assessing differences in key sleep parameters between sex and age groups.

Division of Acute Care Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Southern California, 2051 Marengo Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90033, USA.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the association between pre-injury narcotic drug use (opioids, methadone, and/or oxycodone) and outcomes in isolated severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients.
Methods: ACS TQIP study included adult trauma patients (≥ 16 years) with complete drug and alcohol screening. Isolated severe TBI was defined as head trauma with AIS 3-5 and without significant extracranial trauma.
Outpatient Low-Dose Initiation of Buprenorphine for People Using Fentanyl.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
San Francisco Department of Public Health, San Francisco, California.
Importance: The rise of high-potency opioids such as fentanyl makes buprenorphine initiation challenging due to the risks of precipitated withdrawal, prompting the exploration of strategies, such as low-dose initiation (LDI) of buprenorphine. However, no comparative studies on LDI outcomes exist.
Objective: To evaluate outpatient outcomes associated with 2 LDI protocols of buprenorphine among individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) using fentanyl.
The Influence of Input Frequency and L2 Proficiency on the Representation of Collocations for Chinese EFL Learners.
Behav Sci (Basel)
January 2025
School of Foreign Languages, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266005, China.
Collocations typically refer to habitual word combinations, which not only occur in texts but also constitute an essential component of the mental lexicon. This study focuses on the mental lexicon of Chinese learners of English as a foreign language (EFL), investigating the representation of collocations and the influence of input frequency and L2 proficiency by employing a phrasal decision task. The findings reveal the following: (1) Collocations elicited faster response times and higher accuracy rates than non-collocations.
