To better understand how toddlers integrate multiple learning strategies to acquire verbs, we compared sensorimotor recruitment and comparison learning because both strategies are thought to boost children's access to scene-level information. For sensorimotor recruitment, we tested having toddlers use dolls as agents and compared this strategy with having toddlers observe another person enact verbs with dolls. For comparison learning, we compared providing pairs of: (a) training scenes in which animate objects with similar body-shapes maintained agent/patient roles with (b) scenes in which objects with dissimilar body-shapes switched agent/patient roles. Only comparison learning boosted verb comprehension.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological condition characterized by a loss in cognitive functions, with no disease-modifying medication now available. It is crucial for early detection and treatment of Alzheimer's disease before clinical manifestation. The stage between cognitively healthy older persons and AD is known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

While self-report and diagnostic interviews are commonly used, incorporating biological-based indices can offer a complementary approach.
Methods: We evaluate machine learning (ML) based predictions of AC using blood and urine-derived biomarkers.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) falls within the spectrum of central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating diseases that may lead to permanent neurological disability. Fundamental to the diagnosis and clinical surveillance is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that allows for the identification of T2-hyperintensities associated with autoimmune injury that demonstrate distinct spatial distribution patterns. Here, we describe the clinical experience of a 31-year-old, right-handed, White man seen in consultation at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, following complaints of headaches that began after head trauma related to military service.

Faculty of Medicine, Department of Paediatric, Izmir Democracy University, Izmir, Turkey.
Background: Paediatric emergency and critical care require skilled nurses, but they often face a lack of motivation during continuing professional development. Motivation-based, engaging activities in training programmes are essential to sustain interest and improve learning outcomes in these high-stress environments.
Aim: This study aims to develop, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a Paediatric Emergency Course (PEC) using the ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) Motivational Design Model to equip nurses with the knowledge and skills needed to manage paediatric patients in emergency and critical care settings.
Comparing Single-Hospital and National Models to Predict 30-Day Inpatient Mortality.

VA Palo Alto Cooperative Studies Program Coordinating Center, Palo Alto, CA, USA.
Background: Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning have facilitated the creation of mortality prediction models which are increasingly used to assess quality of care and inform clinical practice. One open question is whether a hospital should utilize a mortality model trained from a diverse nationwide dataset or use a model developed primarily from their local hospital data.
Objective: To compare performance of a single-hospital, 30-day all-cause mortality model against an established national benchmark on the task of mortality prediction.
