A County-Level Collaboration to Reduce Infant Mortality: Cradle Cincinnati

OBJECTIVE: We sought to implement and determine the efficacy of Cradle Cincinnati-a county-level collective impact collaborative established to reduce the infant mortality rate (IMR) of Hamilton County, Ohio. We hypothesized that the reduction in the IMR of Hamilton County was at...

Distinct tubulin C-terminal tails control the efficiency of a microtubule severing machine

Microtubule severing enzymes of the AAA+ family are essential regulators of cytoskeletal remodeling, extracting subunits from microtubules through Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-driven conformational changes. Among them, katanin assembles into hexameric structures and binds the neg...

Herbert Gans, a self-described social planner, sociologist, and author of The Urban Villagers (1962, The Free Press) and The Levittowners (2017, Columbia University Press), among many others, was o...

An integrated sedimentological, PXRD, and PXRF approach to resolve facies ambiguity in peritidal carbonates: a case study from the Upper Ordovician Saluda Formation

ABSTRACT The inherent subjectivity and limited reproducibility of facies descriptions are widely recognized. These challenges are exemplified in variably dolomitized, peritidal mixed carbonate–siliciclastic deposits where traditional sedimentological facies analyses rely heavily...

Regioselective N ‐Benzotriazole Substitution Under Mechanochemical Conditions

Here, we present a simple and efficient method for synthesizing substituted benzotriazoles under mechanochemical conditions. Under optimal conditions, the coupling between 1,2,3‐benzotriazole and benzyl bromide occurs with 99% conversion and 17:1 regioselectivity within 30 min of...

Empowering leaders, empowering teams: fostering wellness through leadership

Pediatric radiology is deeply meaningful work, yet increasing workplace stress and burnout threaten workforce engagement, retention, and the delivery of high-quality patient care. Historically, many wellness initiatives have focused on individual-level interventions, such as resi...

Delusional infestation in Parkinson disease: a case report of medication-induced psychosis

Delusional infestation (DI) is an uncommon manifestation of psychosis in Parkinson disease (PD), and is often associated with dopaminergic therapy. We describe a 66-year-old woman with PD who developed visual and tactile delusions of a parasitic infestation while receiving dopami...

Structured Reflection and Peer Dialogue in Construction Education: A Case Study of Experiential Learning Integration

Abstract This case study examines the integration of structured reflection and peer dialogue into construction education to support experiential learning in courses with cooperative education (co-op) components. The instructional intervention was implemented in two course section...

Cop Watching as Social Control: Extending Donald Black’s Theory of Self-Help to Race and Police Videotaping

Using survey-experimental data, we examine how race affects Americans’ willingness to videotape police detaining a teenage suspect. Donald Black’s theory of social control, with its focus on self-help, provides a theoretical context for expecting Black Americans to be more likely...

It’s Still About Race: Assessing Sources of Public Opinion on Immigration and Its Ties to Crime, Gangs, Drugs, and Border Control

There is a divide between political rhetoric and academic research on the topic of immigration and crime. Political rhetoric often claims that immigrants are dangerous and deportation is necessary to decrease crime. In contrast, empirical research demonstrates lower criminality a...

A rare and underrecognized complication of sickle cell disease in a pediatric patient: acute soft head syndrome

Acute soft head syndrome (ASHS) is an extremely rare and underrecognized complication of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), and limited awareness can lead to misdiagnosis as infection or trauma. We report the case of a 16-year-old male with hemoglobin SS (HbSS) SCD who presented to the e...

Effect of Perioperative Tranexamic Acid on Blood Loss in Posterior Acetabular Fracture Fixation

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of perioperative intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) on total blood loss (TBL) and transfusion requirements in patients who underwent acetabular fracture fixation (AO/OTA 62) via a posterior surgical approach. The authors hypothesized that pat...

Adapting computerised language sample analysis for Jamaican Creole-Jamaican English-speaking preschoolers: A pilot study

This pilot study examines the feasibility of adapting the Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (SALT) for Jamaican Creole-Jamaican English-speaking preschoolers. Standard SALT protocols, designed for monolingual English speakers, risk misrepresenting bilingual children's l...

Early development of anoxia prior to the main euxinic phase of the Jenkyns Event on the margin of the Western Tethys (Sachrang Basin, Eastern Alps)

ABSTRACT Although the global expansion of oxygen‐depleted marine environments during the Early Toarcian Jenkyns Event (or Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event) is primarily inferred from successions in the NW European epicontinental basins, the timing of the expansion of anoxia in Tethy...

Evaluation of a novel flexible, lightweight blanket-like torso coil in pediatric MRI at 1.5-T – initial experience

Abstract Background Conventional phased-array torso coils used for abdominal MRI are relatively heavy and inflexible, potentially affecting patient comfort and technologist workflow. Objective To compare image quality, patient experience, and technologist experience using a recen...

Social media use and depression across 11 years of U.S. adult data

Controversy surrounds the relationship between social media use and depression. Prior research has relied on single datasets, narrower age groups or broad measures of screen time, leaving uncertainty about whether associations of social media use and depression were stable across...

Fitting Accumulated Stock Returns with Tempered Skew t-Distribution

We analyze the distributions of historic S&P500 multi-day returns for the number of days of accumulation from 20 to 120. With the increase in the number of days of accumulation, we observe clear tempering of power-law tails toward a seemingly finite value. To explain this phenome...
