"The Pause" was first practiced by a nurse at a Level 1 trauma center to honor the death of a deceased patient. This practice has spread internationally and is used in emergency departments, intensive care, transplant, and oncology units, in addition to pre-hospital settings. There is a paucity of research published on the effects of The Pause for health care workers. We used a three-staged Delphi methodology to understand the barriers, benefits, and language used in The Pause. Analyses of email communication and interview transcripts suggest that The Pause poses minimal risk and has considerable benefits. Benefits include increased perceived team cohesion, a moment for reflection, and a method by which to honor a deceased patient. The Pause allows nurses to feel more present to meet the needs of the next patient they care for during a shift. Further research is merited.

Right Inferior Frontal Cortex and preSMA in Response Inhibition: An Investigation Based on PTC Model.

Response inhibition is an essential component of cognitive function. A large body of literature has used neuroimaging data to uncover the neural architecture that regulates inhibitory control in general and movement cancelation. The presupplementary motor area (preSMA) and the right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) are the key nodes in the inhibitory control network.

In psychotherapy, verbal communication is central to the therapeutic process. However, when patients remain silent, it can serve various functions, such as reflecting more deeply or hesitating to elaborate on a topic. This article uses conversation analysis to examine a specific context in which silence occurs: After a patient has concluded his/her narrative, both the therapist and the patient resist the turn allocation by the respective other, resulting in mutual silence.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares egg production in two turkey lines: the high egg-producing Ohio State University E line and a lower producing random-bred control (RBC1) line, highlighting the importance of understanding these differences for improving flock profitability.
- E line hens outperformed RBC1 hens by producing 20% more eggs, with their egg production advantage linked to longer clutch lengths rather than an increase in the number of preovulatory follicles.
- Gene expression analysis showed that E line hens had alterations in the expression of key reproductive genes, suggesting that differences in hormone synthesis may allow their follicles to develop more efficiently, ultimately enhancing egg production without increasing follicle numbers.

Processing of prosodic cues of uncertainty in autistic and non-autistic adults: a study based on articulatory speech synthesis.

Introduction: We investigated the prosodic perception of uncertainty cues in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) compared to neurotypical adults (NTC).
Method: We used articulatory synthetic speech to express uncertainty in a human-machine scenario by varying the three acoustic cues , , and . Twenty-eight adults with ASD and 28 NTC adults rated each answer for uncertainty, naturalness, and comprehensibility.
