The purpose of this analysis was to assess whether effects of 1-grade mathematics intervention apply across the range of at-risk learners' initial skill levels. Students were randomly assigned to control (=213) and 2 variants of intervention (n=385) designed to improve arithmetic. Of each 30-minute intervention session (48 over 16 weeks), 25 minutes were identical in the 2 variants, focused on number knowledge that provides the conceptual bases for arithmetic. The other 5 minutes provided non-speeded conceptual practice (=196) or speeded strategic practice (=199). Contrasts tested effects of intervention (combined across variants) versus control and effects between the variants. Moderation analysis indicated no significant interactions between at-risk children's pre-intervention mathematics skill and either contrast on any outcome. Across pre-intervention math skill, effects favored intervention over control on arithmetic and transfer to double-digit calculations and number knowledge and favored speeded over non-speeded practice on arithmetic.

Centre for Appearance Research, School of Social Sciences, University of the West of England, Coldharbour Lane, Bristol BS16 1QY, UK.
This study presents a fully powered RCT testing the effectiveness and acceptability of two positive body image online media-based micro-interventions designed for young children. A total of 439 children aged 4-6 years were randomised into one of four conditions: i) episode intervention, ii) episode control, iii) music video intervention, or iv) music video control. Children and their accompanying parent attended two data collection sessions, approximately a week apart.

Article Synopsis
- Despite previous trials, it's still unclear how to effectively resuscitate patients with septic shock, prompting a deeper look into individual differences in treatment responses.
- The study utilized machine learning to predict individual patient risk differences and evaluate how their characteristics affected treatment effectiveness across two large cohorts.
- Results indicated significant variability in treatment responses; patients predicted to have the highest risks improved with early goal-directed therapy (EGDT), while those at lower risk potentially faced harm from the same treatment.
Reducing door-to-wire time for ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention by multidisciplinary collaboration: An observational study.

Internal Medicine-Cardiovascular Department, Foshan Sanshui District People's Hospital, Foshan, Guangdong, China.
The aim of this study is to reduce door-to-wire time for ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention through multidisciplinary collaboration. Patients over the age of 18who visited the Foshan Sanshui District People's Hospital between 2018 and 2019 and were diagnosed with STEMI were included in this study. Analyses were performed with patients segregated into a pre-intervention interim period (2018) and a post-intervention period (2019) based on the date of admission.

Background: To investigate the effectiveness of the intervention with critical value management and push short messaging service (SMS), and to determine improvement in the referral rate of patients with positive hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV).
Methods: No intervention was done for patients with positive anti-HCV screening results from 1 January 2015 to 31 October 2021. Patients with positive anti-HCV results at our hospital from 1 November 2021 to 31 July 2022 were informed vide critical value management and push SMS.
Maternal dietary intervention during lactation impacts the maternal faecal and human milk microbiota.

Division of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, School of Medicine, The University of Western Australia, Subiaco, WA 6008, Australia.
Aims: To determine the effect of a two-week reduced fat and sugar and increased fibre maternal dietary intervention on the maternal faecal and human milk (HM) microbiomes.
Methods And Results: Faecal swabs and HM samples were collected from mothers (n = 11) immediately pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 4 and 8 weeks post-intervention, and were analysed using full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Maternal macronutrient intake was assessed at baseline and during the intervention.
