A major uncertainty in predicting the behaviour of marine-terminating glaciers is ice dynamics driven by non-linear calving front retreat, which is poorly understood and modelled. Using 124919 calving front positions for 149 marine-terminating glaciers in Svalbard from 1985 to 2023, generated with deep learning, we identify pervasive calving front retreats for non-surging glaciers over the past 38 years. We observe widespread seasonal cycles in calving front position for over half of the...
CONCLUSIONS: A high rate of standardized depression screening for youth with cSLE was achieved and maintained via integration and automation within our EHR. Establishing a highly reliable screening system is a critical first step in improving mental health care for this vulnerable population of youth.
Burn injuries represent a significant global challenge due to their multifaceted nature, characterized by a complex cascade of metabolic and immune dysfunction that can result in severe complications. If not identified and managed promptly, these complications can escalate, often leading to fatal outcomes. This underscores the critical importance of timely and precise diagnosis. Fortunately, biomarkers for burn-induced pathologies and outcomes have emerged as powerful diagnostic and prognostic...
The frequent poor functional outcomes after delayed surgical repair of injured human peripheral nerves results in progressive downregulation of growth-associated genes in parallel with reduced neuronal regenerative capacity under each of the experimental conditions of chronic axotomy of neurones that remain without target contact, chronic distal nerve stump denervation, and chronic muscle denervation. Brief (1 h) low-frequency (20 Hz) electrical stimulation (ES) accelerates the outgrowth of...
CONCLUSIONS: ChatGPT-4 had significantly greater diagnostic accuracy within our sample (P < .05) and generated higher quality differential diagnoses than Isabel. Isabel produced several inappropriate and imprecise differential diagnoses.
CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of their living and health situation, during the pandemic, loneliness increased in all groups of care partners. These should be taken in consideration when planning public health approaches for crises such as pandemics or other large-scale disruptive events.
INTRODUCTION: Interventions to treat speech-language difficulties in primary progressive aphasia (PPA) often use word accuracy as a highly comparable outcome. However, there are more constructs of importance to people with PPA that have received less attention.
