The purpose of this study was to assess messages posted by mothers of children with type 1 diabetes in the Italian Facebook group "Mamme e diabete" using computerized text analysis. The data suggest that these mothers use online discussion boards as a place to seek and provide information to better manage the disease's daily demands-especially those tasks linked to insulin correction and administration, control of food intake, and bureaucratic duties, as well as to seek and give encouragement and to share experiences regarding diabetes and related impact on their life. The implications of these findings for the management of diabetes are discussed.

Background: Medication errors (MEs) pose risks to patient safety, resulting in substantial economic costs. To enhance patient safety and learning from incidents, health care and pharmacovigilance organizations systematically collect ME data through reporting systems. Despite the growing literature on MEs in reporting systems, an overview of methods used to analyze them is lacking.

Background: Paranoia, the belief that you are at risk of significant physical or emotional harm from others, is a common difficulty, which causes significant distress and impairment to daily functioning, including in psychosis-spectrum disorders. According to cognitive models of psychosis, paranoia may be partly maintained by cognitive processes, including interpretation biases. Cognitive bias modification for paranoia (CBM-pa) is an intervention targeting the bias towards interpreting ambiguous social scenarios in a way that is personally threatening.

Background: Psychoeducation is a recommended first-line intervention for transition-aged autistic youth, but it has not been previously evaluated in an internet-delivered format. SCOPE (Spectrum Computerized Psychoeducation) is an 8-week individual, internet-delivered, therapist-supported psychoeducative intervention.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of SCOPE through a 3-armed randomized controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
- Semi-automated surveillance systems effectively reduce time spent on monitoring non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (nvHAP) by using computer algorithms to identify at-risk patients for further manual review.
- * The study evaluated multiple nvHAP indicators and algorithms on a large cohort, examining their sensitivity, workload reduction, and efficiency in detecting cases based on a reference standard.
- * Results showed that complex algorithms significantly lowered the number of patients needing manual review by up to 96.2% while maintaining a high sensitivity of 92%, suggesting a promising method for improving patient surveillance in hospitals.

Infectious intestinal disease (IID) is a syndrome consisting of diarrhoea and vomiting symptoms linked to a causative pathogen. The Third Study of IID (IID3) will report its incidence in the community within the UK and assess how it has changed since the second IID study (IID2) in 2012. We implemented an automated, online patient recruitment process within a national sentinel surveillance network and compared its performance versus IID2 in terms of: Patient recruitment rates and demographic characteristics of recruited participants.
