    Abstract This study examines whether scrambling the order of events in a tonal chord sequence inhibits the speed and accuracy of processing in two behavioral harmonic priming experiments. Sixteen 9-chord sequences were adapted from Bach's chorales that either remained unchanged (thereby reflecting high temporal coherence) or were scrambled to produce increasingly incoherent sequences (i.e., medium or low). To produce the scrambled conditions, a finite-context (or

    Abstract The effect of realistic atmospheric conditions on mid-IR (λ = 3.9 µm) and long-wave-IR (λ = 10 µm) laser-induced avalanche breakdown for the remote detection of radioactive material is examined experimentally and with propagation simulations. Our short-range in-lab mid-IR laser experiments show a correlation between increasing turbulence level and a reduced number of breakdown sites associated with a reduction in the portion of the focal volume above the breakdown threshold. Simulations of propagation through turbulence are in excellent agreement with these measurements and provide code validation. We then simulate propagation through realistic atmospheric turbulence over a long range (0.1-1 km) in the long-wave-IR regime (λ = 10 µm). The avalanche threshold focal volume is found to be robust even in the presence of strong turbulence, only dropping by ∼50% over a propagation length of ∼0.6 km. We also experimentally assess the impact of aerosols on avalanche-based detection, finding that, while background counts increase, a useful signal is extractable even at aerosol concentrations 10

    Abstract Objective: This cluster randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of participation in the Body Project-a cognitive-dissonance-based preventive intervention that reduces self-reported body dissatisfaction-for reducing body-dissatisfaction-related attentional biases. We hypothesized that women in a Body Project condition would show a greater reduction in attentional biases to weight-related images and words at postintervention than women in a wait-list control condition.
    Method: Body-dissatisfied university women (
    Results: Self-reported outcomes from previous literature were replicated. Compared to wait-list, Body Project participation reduced attention to images of thin models (
    Conclusions: This study, which replicates previous self-report findings, is the first to find that two preventive interventions reduced an objective outcome (attentional bias to weight-related images) in body-dissatisfied women. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

    Abstract Objective:  This study aimed to examine the relationship between virtual technology system utilization and insurance status or type of visitation restrictions in a single-center neonatal intensive care unit.
    Study design:  Prospective cohort study with separate analyses performed based on insurance status (public vs. nonpublic) and "in effect" unit visitation restrictions. The three study epochs based on patient visitation restrictions were Epoch 1 (July to October 2019) with standard visitation restrictions, Epoch 2 (November 2019 to February 2020) with respiratory syncytial virus/influenza visitation restrictions, and Epoch 3 (March to June 2020) with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) visitation restrictions, respectively.
    Results:  Families of 357 infants used web-based cameras through most of the infant's hospitalization (median: 86.05%, Q3: 97.9%) with 165,795 total camera logins, indicating consistent utilization. There was a trend for fewer logins per infant and significantly longer time to consent (
    Conclusion:  Virtual visitation technology is well embraced by neonatal instensive care unit families; however, gaps in access and use among subgroups signals a form of social inequality that needs to be explored further.
    Key points: · Virtual visitation technology can bridge the distance gap for families of hospitalized infants.. · Utilization of virtual technology is affected by socioeconomic factors and seasonal unit visitation restrictions.. · Factors influencing disparities in access and utilization of virtual technology need to be investigated further..

    Abstract The 2020 pediatric Surviving Sepsis Campaign (pSSC) recommends measuring lactate during the first hour of resuscitation for severe sepsis/shock. We aimed to improve compliance with this recommendation for patients who develop severe sepsis/shock while admitted to the PICU.
    Design: Structured, quality improvement initiative.
    Setting: Single-center, 26-bed, quaternary-care PICU.
    Patients: All patients with PICU-onset severe sepsis/shock from December 2018 to December 2021.
    Interventions: Creation of a multidisciplinary local sepsis improvement team, education program targeting frontline providers (nurse practitioners, resident physicians), and peer-to-peer nursing education program with feedback to key stakeholders.
    Measurements and main results: The primary outcome measure was compliance with obtaining a lactate measurement within 60 minutes of the onset of severe sepsis/shock originating in our PICU using a local Improving Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes database and definitions. The process measure was time to first lactate measurement. Secondary outcomes included number of IV antibiotic days, number of vasoactive days, number of ICU days, and number of ventilator days. A total of 166 unique PICU-onset severe sepsis/shock events and 156 unique patients were included. One year after implementation of our first interventions with subsequent Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles, overall compliance increased from 38% to 47% (24% improvement) and time to first lactate decreased from 175 to 94 minutes (46% improvement). Using a statistical process control I chart, the preshift mean for time to first lactate measurement was noted to be 179 minutes and the postshift mean was noted to be 81 minutes demonstrating a 55% improvement.
    Conclusions: This multidisciplinary approach led to improvement in time to first lactate measurement, an important step toward attaining our target of lactate measurement within 60 minutes of septic shock identification. Improving compliance is necessary for understanding implications of the 2020 pSSC guidelines on sepsis morbidity and mortality.
