    Abstract Biological systems have evolved a number of different strategies to communicate information on the molecular scale. Among these, the propagation of conformational change is among the most important, being the means by which G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) use extracellular signals to modulate intracellular processes, and the way that opsin proteins translate light signals into nerve impulses. The developing field of foldamer chemistry has allowed chemists to employ conformationally well-defined synthetic structures likewise to mediate information transfer, making use of mechanisms that are not found in biological contexts. In this review, we discuss the use of switchable screw-sense preference as a communication mechanism. We discuss the requirements for functional communication devices, and show how dynamic helical foldamers derived from the achiral monomers such as α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) and

    Abstract Epilepsy is increasingly recognised as a brain network disorder and many studies have investigated functional connectivity (FC) in children with epilepsy using functional MRI (fMRI). This systematic review of fMRI studies, published up to November 2023, investigated profiles of FC changes and their clinical relevance in children with focal epilepsy compared to healthy controls. A literature search in PubMed and Web of Science yielded 62 articles. We categorised the results into three groups: 1) differences in correlation-based FC between patients and controls; 2) differences in other FC measures between patients and controls; and 3) associations between FC and disease variables (for example, age of onset), cognitive and seizure outcomes. Studies revealed either increased or decreased FC across multiple brain regions in children with focal epilepsy. However, findings lacked consistency: conflicting FC alterations (decreased and increased FC) co-existed within or between brain regions across all focal epilepsy groups. The studies demonstrated overall that 1) interhemispheric connections often displayed abnormal connectivity and 2) connectivity within and between canonical functional networks was decreased, particularly for the default mode network. Focal epilepsy disrupted FC in children both locally (e.g., seizure-onset zones, or within-brain subnetworks) and globally (e.g., whole-brain network architecture). The wide variety of FC study methodologies limits clinical application of the results. Future research should employ longitudinal designs to understand the evolution of brain networks during the disease course and explore the potential of FC biomarkers for predicting cognitive and postsurgical seizure outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Emergency Departments around the world are under increasing pressure due to rising demand. In the United Kingdom ambulatory emergency care has been demonstrated to deliver safe and effective care for emergency patients and has now become an accepted treatment modality.
    Methods: This paper outlines a quality improvement project undertaken to evaluate an ambulatory emergency care centre implemented at a tertiary hospital in Perth, Western Australia, from February to August 2021.
    Results: The findings demonstrated a 4% improvement in the Western Australian Emergency Access Target for a four week period, a 6.3% reduction in the number of patients admitted with a length of stay less than 24 h and that patient's attending the Ambulatory Emergency Care Centre were managed as safely as if they were seen in the Emergency Department.

    Abstract We report a catalytic foldamer in which a fumaramide chromophore links a Ser residue to a helical domain that contains within its sequence the residues His and Asp. Photoisomerization of the fumaramide chromophore (with E geometry) to the corresponding maleamide (with Z geometry) brings together a 'catalytic triad' of Ser, His, and Asp, triggering esterase activity that is absent in the fumaramide isomer. The fumaramide/maleamide linker thus acts as a light-sensitive switchable cofactor for activation of catalytic activity in short foldamers.

    Abstract Introduction: Many studies argue that exposure to, and use of, multiple languages in childhood has beneficial effects beyond the linguistic domain, including on executive functions (EFs), although recent evidence remains controversial. EFs encompass abilities necessary for regulating goal-directed behaviours in everyday life and, in children, EFs strongly predict later academic achievement and wellbeing. One theoretical framework distinguishes "hot" EFs, which have a reward or affective component, from "cool" EFs that do not. How exposure to more than one language in early childhood modulates hot and cool EFs in later childhood, alongside other environmental and cognitive factors, remains poorly understood.
    Methods: We analysed data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study, a large-scale, nationally representative longitudinal cohort study, which provides information on perinatal and environmental factors (e.g., languages spoken in the home, maternal education) alongside cognitive measures assessed in English. At 3 years, we examined the effect of multiple language exposure on the Bracken school readiness assessment (knowledge of shapes, letters, etc.), and on naming vocabulary. At age 11, we examined the predictors of cool EF, measured with a spatial working memory task; hot EF, measured using a gambling task; and vocabulary, measured using a verbal reasoning task.
    Results: Data from 16,134 children were analysed. At age 3, a negative effect of multiple language exposure on school readiness and vocabulary was observed, but the difference was smaller with higher maternal education. At age 11, there was also a negative effect on vocabulary, but smaller than that observed at age 3. There were no direct effects of language exposure on either spatial working memory or gambling scores. For hot EF, the multiple language exposure effects were indirect, mediated by early cognition, and the most significant predictor of gambling strategy was sex. For cool EF, school readiness and vocabulary at age 3 were the strongest predictors.
    Discussion: Our findings, based on a UK population sample, highlight the importance of considering socioeconomic status and early-life abilities when interpreting the effects of language environments on hot and cool EFs.
