The precedence effect for transient sounds has been proposed to be based primarily on monaural processes, manifested by asymmetric temporal masking. This study explored the potential for monaural explanations with longer ("ongoing") sounds exhibiting the precedence effect. Transient stimuli were single lead-lag noise burst pairs; ongoing stimuli were trains of 63 burst pairs. Unlike with transients, monaural masking data for ongoing sounds showed no advantage for the lead, and are inconsistent with asymmetric audibility as an explanation for ongoing precedence. This result, along with supplementary measurements of interaural time discrimination, suggests different explanations for transient and ongoing precedence.

Characterisation of patients who develop atrial fibrillation-induced cardiomyopathy.
Open Heart

William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK
Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC) is characterized by a drop in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) due to AF, but the reasons why some patients develop AIC are still unclear.* -
- The study hypothesizes that subtle heart muscle issues exist before LVEF decreases; therefore, a detailed examination of heart function following successful catheter ablation is essential to identify these features.* -
- Results show that out of 41 participants, 82.9% recovered LVEF post-ablation, yet many still had signs of heart dysfunction, with significant portions exhibiting elevated NT-proBNP levels, ongoing heart failure symptoms, and impaired heart performance despite normalization of LVEF.*
Canada needs a national COVID-19 inquiry now.

Article Synopsis
- * Despite previously better handling of the pandemic, Canada is still in a health crisis, necessitating an inquiry to review past policies and improve future responses, such as robust public education and consistent guidelines.
- * To rebuild trust in public health, Canada must enhance data collection, improve indoor air quality standards, and address the decline in vaccination rates with a thorough evaluation of its strategies.
Bayesian inference of coupled groundwater flow and radiogenic helium-4 production and transport at the catchment scale.

Hydrogeological numerical models are essential for assessing radioactive waste disposal by understanding groundwater flow systems. These models typically rely on hydraulic head data, with other state variables often underutilized in model inversions. In Flanders' Neogene aquifer, where safety studies for Boom Clay are ongoing, existing models face uncertainties due to dependence on hydraulic heads alone.

In response to escalating global wastewater issues, particularly from dye contaminants, many studies have begun using hydrochar to adsorb dye from wastewater. However, the relationship between the preparation conditions of hydrochar, the properties of hydrochar, experimental conditions, types of dyes, and equilibrium adsorption capacity (Q) has not yet been fully explored. This study conducted a comprehensive assessment using twelve distinct ML models.

The American Transplant Congress (ATC) is the largest national transplant meeting in the United States jointly sponsored by the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons. The 2024 ATC was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during which a number of peer-reviewed scientific abstracts were censored from the program by the Health Resources and Services Administration. These abstract presentations were redacted from the program for perceived conflict with current government policy effectively restricting dissemination of highly rated findings and discussion in a scientific forum.
