    Abstract Introduction: The Military Match is the residency matching system for medical students attending the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, and the students were funded by the Health Professions Scholarship Program through the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Navy. To evaluate and compare military residency programs, students use residency program websites. Often, the residency program's website serves as a key source, or the only point of reference, when considering residency options, especially during times when face-to-face interactions are limited.This report aims to provide a systematic evaluation of military residency programs and their websites.
    Materials and methods: Utilizing a previously published website usability scoring system, military residency programs were categorized to objectively and quantitatively analyze their websites. Usability was divided into four categories for quantifiable analysis: accessibility, marketing, content quality, and technology. The methodology for this analysis was replicated from published reports that have examined healthcare website usability. Each website was analyzed and scored in four categories: accessibility, content quality, marketing, and technology. A "General Usability" score was calculated for each website using a composite of the key factors within the four categories. An overall score was generated utilizing the weighted percentage across all four categories. To address deficiencies of the original methodology, a secondary analysis was performed on the listed websites utilizing an automated methodology for website usability.
    Results: A comprehensive list of 125 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education U.S. Military residency program websites was compiled. Of these, 96 programs and 106 websites were evaluated. The primary analysis employing usability methodology identified technology as the highest ranked category with a score of 0.749 (SD ± 0.039) (SE 0.005) (P < .05). Marketing and content quality were the lowest scoring categories with mean scores of 0.414 (SD ± 0.054) (SE 0.006) and 0.428 (SD ± 0.229) (SE 0.027), respectively (P < .05). There was no significant difference in overall usability rankings or scores among the 96 residency program websites across the three branches (P < .05).Secondary analysis with the new usability methodology demonstrated military residency websites to exhibit more external backlinking compared to internal backlinking (P < 0.05) and no social media backlinking to any of the 106 analyzed websites. When comparing the three services, the Army had significantly lower external backlinking ranking 43.4 (P < .05) and overall backlinking ranking 56.4 (P < 0.05) when compared to the Navy (mean 48.8 and 71.7, and 43.4). There were no other differences in backlinking rankings across the three branches.
    Conclusions: Residency websites have become a primary way to communicate information to applicants. By assessing the overall usability of the various military residency websites, we determined the effectiveness of these websites to relay information to prospective students interested in applying for military residency. We predict that by improving website accessibility, residency programs increase their effectiveness at communicating information to potential applicants and increase interest in military residency programs.

    Abstract We explore a new perspective on adapting the learning rate (LR) schedule to improve the performance of the ReLU-based network as it is iteratively pruned. Our work and contribution consist of four parts: (i) We find that, as the ReLU-based network is iteratively pruned, the distribution of weight gradients tends to become narrower. This leads to the finding that as the network becomes more sparse, a larger value of LR should be used to train the pruned network. (ii) Motivated by this finding, we propose a novel LR schedule, called S-Cyclical (S-Cyc) which adapts the conventional cyclical LR schedule by gradually increasing the LR upper bound (max_lr) in an S-shape as the network is iteratively pruned.We highlight that S-Cyc is a method agnostic LR schedule that applies to many iterative pruning methods. (iii) We evaluate the performance of the proposed S-Cyc and compare it to four LR schedule benchmarks. Our experimental results on three state-of-the-art networks (e.g., VGG-19, ResNet-20, ResNet-50) and two popular datasets (e.g., CIFAR-10, ImageNet-200) demonstrate that S-Cyc consistently outperforms the best performing benchmark with an improvement of 2.1% - 3.4%, without substantial increase in complexity. (iv) We evaluate S-Cyc against an oracle and show that S-Cyc achieves comparable performance to the oracle, which carefully tunes max_lr via grid search.

    Abstract Aggregated diagnostic data collected over time from swine production systems is an important data source to investigate swine productivity and health, especially when combined with records concerning the pre-weaning and post-weaning phases of production. The combination of multiple data streams collected over the lifetime of the pigs is the essence of the whole-herd epidemiological investigation. This approach is particularly valuable for investigating the multifaceted and ever-changing factors contributing to wean-to-finish (W2F) swine mortality. The objective of this study was to use a retrospective dataset ("master table") containing information on 1,742 groups of pigs marketed over time to identify the major risk factors associated with W2F mortality. The master table was built by combining historical breed-to-market performance and health data with disease diagnostic records (Dx Codes) from marketed groups of growing pigs. After building the master table, univariate analyses were conducted to screen for risk factors to be included in the initial multivariable model. After a stepwise backward model selection approach, 5 variables and 2 interactions remained in the final model. Notably, the diagnosis variable significantly associated with W2F mortality was porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Closeouts with clinical signs suggestive of

    Abstract Monitoring SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels can provide insights into a person's immunity to COVID-19 and inform decisions about vaccination and public health measures. Anti-S may be useful as an indicator of an effective immune response. Thus, we conducted this study that aimed to determine the immune response of anti-S antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 for all the vaccine types over time among adult recipients in Malaysia and to determine the associated factors. This study was a cohort that recruited 2513 respondents aged 18 years and above from June to December 2021. Each participant was followed-up for 1-year period from the initial vaccine dose (baseline). We found that the anti-S antibody generally increased for all vaccine types and peaked at two weeks after the second dose vaccination, with Pfizer recipients having the highest median of 100 (100.00-100.00). During the third-month follow-up, the seropositivity of anti-S antibody and the median level decreased for all vaccines. We found that type of vaccines, comorbid status, infection, and booster status were significantly associated with the anti-S antibody level after one year.

    Abstract Accelerating sulfur conversion catalysis to alleviate the shuttle effect has become a novel paradigm for effective Li-S batteries. Although nitrogen-coordinated metal single-atom (M-N4) catalysts have been investigated, further optimizing its utilization rate and catalytic activities is urgently needed for practical applications. Inspired by the natural alveoli tissue with interconnected structure and well-distributed enzyme catalytic sites on the wall for the simultaneously fast diffusion and in-situ catalytic conversion of substrates, here, we proposed the controllable synthesis of bioinspired carbon cathode with interconnected porous structure and asymmetric coordinated V-S1N3 sites for efficient and stable Li-S batteries. The enzyme-mimetic V-S1N3 shows asymmetric electronic distribution and high tunability, therefore enhancing in-situ polysulfide conversion activities. Experimental and theoretical results reveal that the high charge asymmetry degree and large atom radius of S in V-S1N3 result in sloping adsorption for polysulfide, thereby exhibiting low thermodynamic energy barriers and long-range stability (0.076% decay over 600 cycles).

    Abstract: ... PREconception Study of long-Term maternal and child Outcomes (S-PRESTO) cohort study.: Results: Plasma ...

    Abstract Context: Due to the essential role of carnitine as an intermediary in amino acid, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, a detailed characterization of circulating and urinary carnitine concentrations will aid in elucidating the molecular basis of impaired maternal metabolic flexibility and facilitating timely intervention for expectant mothers.
    Objective: To investigate the association of maternal plasma and urinary free carnitine and acylcarnitines with cardiometabolic risk factors.
    Methods: LC-MS/MS-based quantification of free carnitine and acylcarnitines (C2-C18) was performed on 765 plasma and 702 urine samples collected at preconception, 26-28 weeks' pregnancy, and three months postpartum in the Singapore PREconception Study of long-Term maternal and child Outcomes (S-PRESTO) cohort study.
    Results: Plasma concentrations of free carnitine and acylcarnitines decreased coupled with increased renal clearance in pregnancy compared to preconception and postpartum. Renal clearance of carnitine increased with an increase in pre-pregnancy body mass index (ppBMI) and gestational weight gain. Plasma short-chain acylcarnitines were positively associated with ppBMI, irrespective of the physiological state, while medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines were negatively associated with ppBMI at preconception and postpartum but showed a positive association in pregnancy. Similarly, plasma short-chain acylcarnitines were positively associated with HOMA-IR whereas medium- and long-chain acylcarnitines were negatively associated with HOMA-IR at preconception and in pregnancy. Mothers who developed gestational diabetes mellitus during pregnancy had ∼10% higher plasma propionylcarnitine concentration and ∼18% higher urine tiglylcarnitine concentration compared to mothers with normal glucose metabolism at preconception.
    Conclusions: This study provides the metabolic and physiological basis of maternal carnitine homeostasis, which can be used in assessment of maternal cardiometabolic health at preconception to improve pregnancy outcomes.

    Abstract Previous studies provide evidence for an association between modifications of the gut microbiota in early life and the development of food allergies. We studied the faecal microbiota composition (16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing) and faecal microbiome functionality (metaproteomics) in a cohort of 40 infants diagnosed with cow’s milk allergy (CMA) when entering the study. Some of the infants showed outgrowth of CMA after 12 months, while others did not. Faecal microbiota composition of infants was analysed directly after CMA diagnosis (baseline) as well as 6 and 12 months after entering the study. The aim was to gain insight on gut microbiome parameters in relation to outgrowth of CMA. The results of this study show that microbiome differences related to outgrowth of CMA can be mainly identified at the taxonomic level of the 16S rRNA gene, and to a lesser extent at the protein-based microbial taxonomy and functional protein level. At the 16S rRNA gene level outgrowth of CMA is characterized by lower relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae at baseline and lower Bacteroidaceae at visit 12 months.
