Article Abstract
Introduction: Congestion in emergency departments [ED] is a significant challenge worldwide. Any delay in the timely and immediate medical care provided in the ED can affect patient morbidity and mortality. Our research analyzed the use of an innovative platform to improve patient navigation in the ED, as well as provide updated information about their care. Our hope is that this can improve ED efficiency and improve overall patient care.
Objective: The primary objective of our study was to determine whether the use of an automatic push notification system can shorten 'length of stay' (LOS) in the ED, improve patient flow, and decrease ED patient load.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study utilizing data extrapolated from the electronic medical records of 2972 patients who visited the walk-in ED of a large-scale central hospital in Israel from January 17, 2021 to March 15, 2021. During this period, the automatic push text notification system was activated on a week-on week-off basis. We compared data from our experimental group with the control group.
Results: The results of this study indicate that the use of an automatic push notification system had a minimal impact on specific parameters of ED patient flow. Apart from a few significant reductions of specific timed-intervals during patients' ED visit, the majority of results were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: This study concluded that the anticipated benefits of a push text notification system in the ED do not, at this stage, justify the system's additional cost. We recommend a follow-up study to further investigate other possible benefits.

Despite their wide use and far-reaching implications, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations suffer from a lack of both traceability and reproducibility. We introduce Martignac: computational workflows for the coarse-grained (CG) Martini force field. Martignac describes Martini CG MD simulations as an acyclic directed graph, providing the entire history of a simulation─from system preparation to property calculations.

Article Synopsis
- Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) is being researched for its benefits in energy efficiency and non-volatility, but designing effective systems is complex and time-consuming for material and device scientists.
- There's a need for a user-friendly modeling framework that helps researchers evaluate device performance early in the design process, focusing on speed, accuracy, and adaptability.
- This paper presents a digital twin (DT)-like framework that generates RRAM device models from measurement data, includes peripheral circuits for better evaluations, and demonstrates its effectiveness in applications like neural network processing of ECG data and Fault Aware Training.

Segmentation of the fetal and maternal structures, particularly intrapartum ultrasound imaging as advocated by the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) for monitoring labor progression, is a crucial first step for quantitative diagnosis and clinical decision-making. This requires specialized analysis by obstetrics professionals, in a task that i) is highly time- and cost-consuming and ii) often yields inconsistent results. The utility of automatic segmentation algorithms for biometry has been proven, though existing results remain suboptimal.
