Postselecting output states can effectively amplify weak signals in measurements. However, the postselection (PS) effect may also introduce unintended biases in precision measurements. Here, we investigate the influence of PS in the precision spectroscopy of the 2 - 2 transition of helium (He) using an atomic beam. We directly observe that PS based on atomic positions causes a shift in the measured transition frequency, amounting to approximately -55 kHz. After accounting for this PS shift, we obtain a corrected frequency of 276,764,094,712.45 ± 0.86 kHz for the 2 - 2 transition. Combining this result with existing data for He, we derive a value for the difference in squared nuclear charge radii, which shows a σ deviation from measurements of muonic helium ions, potentially pointing to new physics that challenges lepton universality in quantum electrodynamics.

The aim of this study is to investigate the rate, risk factors, causative microorganism distribution, and treatment outcomes of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) in chronic hemodialysis patients undergoing treatment with a tunneled hemodialysis catheter. Data for all patients who underwent hemodialysis treatment with tunneled catheters at our center between January 2014 and January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 171 patients were included in the study.

Objectives: We examine the mental health trajectories of people who start providing personal care and compare their trajectories with matched controls who remain non-carers. We also investigate whether trajectories vary by gender, financial resources, and supportive long-term care policies.
Methods: Using nine waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, collected in 28 European countries from 2004 to 2022, we analyse longitudinal data from 68,075 men and women aged 50 or older.

Background: The transition from pre-clinical to clinical teaching is often a time of heightened anxiety for students. With the shift to bi-modal teaching during the pandemic there was an opportunity to explore the use of 360-degree videos and virtual reality (VR) simulation teaching to enhance educational experience and smooth the transition from pre-clinical to clinical teaching. The aims of this study were to understand students' perceptions of face-to-face and virtual simulation teaching during the recovery phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Utilizing influenza case report data from Fuzhou spanning 2013 to 2022, we applied descriptive epidemiological methods to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and distribution patterns of reported influenza cases across various time periods, populations, and regions. Furthermore, we employed trend-surface analysis, kernel density estimation, and space-time scanning statistics to investigate the evolution of spatial trends, changes in spatial structure, and the spatiotemporal aggregation characteristics of the reported influenza incidence rate at the county level.
