Cooling down hotspots of retail tobacco products: addressing disparities in the built environment through policy.

Multiple disparities exist in the built environment for retail tobacco. Disproportionate concentrations of retail outlets result in variation in the availability of tobacco products, consumer access, and exposure to tobacco marketing. Neighborhoods with higher tobacco retail density have higher tobacco use than neighborhoods with lower density.

Structure Determination from Single-Molecule X-ray Scattering Images Using Stochastic Gradient Ascent.

Scattering experiments using ultrashort X-ray free electron laser pulses have opened a new path for structure determination of a wide variety of specimens, including nanocrystals and entire viruses, approaching atomistic spatial and femtoseconds time resolution. However, random and unknown sample orientations as well as low signal-to-noise ratios have so far prevented a successful application to smaller specimens like single biomolecules. We here present resolution-annealed stochastic gradient ascent (RASTA), a new approach for direct atomistic electron density determination, which utilizes our recently developed rigorous Bayesian treatment of single-particle X-ray scattering.

Clinician perspectives on the multilevel impacts of Pediatric early warning systems (PEWS) in resource-variable hospitals.

Background: Pediatric Early Warning Systems (PEWS) are evidence-based interventions that monitor hospitalized pediatric patients to improve outcomes and prevent complications, particularly in children with cancer. However, there is limited data on how clinicians perceive the impact of PEWS on patient care across healthcare centers in resource-variable settings. Understanding clinicians' perceptions of PEWS is crucial, as their recognition of its benefits can enhance adoption and sustainability across various healthcare settings.

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy With an Unusually High Troponin Level Post-laparotomy for Small Bowel Obstruction Secondary to Adhesions in a Patient Presenting With Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) triggering adhesion-related small bowel obstruction (SBO) is rare. The occurrence of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) with an unusually high level of troponin I in the clinical course presents a unique diagnostic challenge. We report the case of a female patient in her 40s who had repeatedly presented to the hospital with abdominal pain and initially showed signs of PID, which later developed to SBO due to adhesions requiring laparotomy.

On-field Head Acceleration Exposure Measurement Using Instrumented Mouthguards: Missing Data Imputation for Complete Exposure Analysis.

Purpose: Accurate quantification of head acceleration event (HAE) exposure is critical for investigating brain injury risk in contact sports athletes. However, missing HAEs may be unavoidable in real-world data collection. This study introduces missing data imputation methods to estimate complete video- and sensor-based HAE exposure.
