Background And Objectives: Information and communication technology (ICT) use has been associated with well-being among older adults. This link is often attributed to the fact that ICT use facilitates connecting with others. The purpose of this study is to assess how contact frequency and social tie strength impact the relationship between ICT use and depressive symptoms among older adults.

Background And Objectives: The heterogeneity of population-based trajectories of care recipients' (CRs) cognitive functioning and how they are associated with their caregivers' mental health is less studied in the United States. Informed by the stress process model, this study examines the relationship between care recipients' cognitive trajectories and caregivers' depressive symptoms, and the mediating role of caregiving burden.
Research Design And Methods: Data were from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (2011-2020) for 1,086 care recipients and their 1,675 caregivers from the 2021 National Study of Caregiving.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical global health threat, necessitating the optimal use of existing antibiotics. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) principles provide a scientific framework for optimizing antimicrobial therapy, particularly to respond to evolving resistance patterns. This review examines PK/PD strategies for antimicrobial dosing optimization, focusing on three key aspects.

In this Viewpoint, we discuss the challenges facing perinatal clinical researchers, many of which are unique to this field, and how traditional two-arm randomised trials using frequentist analysis might no longer be fit for purpose for perinatology. We propose a solution: the adoption of adaptive platform trials (APTs) with Bayesian methodology to address perinatal research questions to improve outcomes of preterm birth. APTs use a master protocol as a foundation to efficiently assess multiple interventions simultaneously for a particular disease.

Introduction: To interact with the environment, it is crucial to distinguish between sensory information that is externally generated and inputs that are self-generated. The sensory consequences of one's own movements tend to induce attenuated behavioral- and neural responses compared to externally generated inputs. We propose a computational model of sensory attenuation (SA) based on Bayesian Causal Inference, where SA occurs when an internal cause for sensory information is inferred.
