Background: Self-directed training has been recognized as a reasonable alternative to traditional instructor-led formats to teach laypeople Basic Life Support (BLS). Virtual tools can facilitate high-quality self-directed resuscitation education; however, their role in teaching paediatric BLS remains unclear due to limited empiric evaluation and suboptimal design of existing tools.
Aim: We describe the development and evaluation of a virtual simulation game (VSG) designed to teach high-quality paediatric BLS using a self-directed, online format with integrated deliberate practice and feedback.

Background: Elderly acute kidney injury (AKI) occurring in the intensive care unit (ICU), particularly when caused or accompanied by sepsis, is linked to extended hospital stays, increased mortality rates, heightened prevalence of chronic diseases, and diminished quality of life. This study primarily utilizes a comprehensive critical care database to examine the correlation of albumin corrected anion gap (ACAG) levels with short-term prognosis in elderly patients with AKI caused or accompanied by sepsis, thus assisting physicians in early identification of high-risk patients.
Methods: This study utilized data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV, v2.

For consumers to have confidence in the safety of automated vehicles (AVs), AVs must be assessed using systematically developed scenarios to verify driving safety and reliability. In particular, verification using scenarios has been widely performed for the assessment and certification of AVs. This study aims to develop test cases based on driving trajectories to assess the driving safety of AVs.

The rational design of engineered nanomaterials (NMs) with improved functionality and their increasing industrial application requires reliable, validated, and ultimately standardized characterization methods for their application-relevant, physicochemical key properties such as size, size distribution, shape, or surface chemistry. This calls for nanoscale (certified) reference materials (CRMs; RMs) and well-characterized reference test materials (RTMs) termed also quality control (QC) samples, assessed, e.g.

Background: Marriage promotes breastfeeding duration through economic and social supports. The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected marginalized communities and impacted women's employment and interpersonal dynamics. This study examined how marriage affects breastfeeding duration across socioeconomic and racially minoritized groups during COVID-19, aiming to inform social support strategies for vulnerable families in public health crises.
