    Abstract Undetected sexual offending creates challenges for risk assessment since estimated sexual recidivism rates are based on documented charges or convictions. Courts and other stakeholders may be primarily interested in the true risk for sexual reoffense and not simply risk for detected sexual offenses. Attempts to study and quantify the rate of undetected sexual offending have resulted in a wide variety of estimates. In this study, we explore whether sanctions imposed for detected sexual offenses increase the detection rate of subsequent offenses, and thereby suppress undetected sexual offending in an exceptionally high-risk sample who were ultimately committed as Sexually Violent Persons. Results indicate the detection rate of sexual offenses increased following an initial sanction, subsequently decreasing the proportion of undetected to detected offending. This effect only occurred after the first sanction. Overall, the sample had a high detection rate and spent little time in the community before subsequent arrests. These results differ from other reports that high rates of sexual offenses go undetected.

    Abstract Objective:  To compare early-onset sepsis (EOS) risk estimation and recommendations for infectious evaluation and/or empiric antibiotics using a categorical risk assessment versus the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator in a low-risk population.
    Study design:  Retrospective chart review of late preterm (≥35
    Results:  We identified 1,187 infants who met inclusion criteria. A blood culture was obtained within 72 hours after birth from 234 (19.7%) infants and 170 (14.3%) received antibiotics per routine clinical practice, using categorical risk assessment. Respiratory distress was the most common indication for evaluation, occurring in 173 (14.6%) of patients. After applying the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator to this population, the recommendation was to obtain a blood culture on 166 (14%), to start or strongly consider starting empiric antibiotics on 164 (13.8%), and no culture or antibiotics on 1,021 (86%). Utilizing calculator recommendations would have led to a reduction in frequency of blood culture (19.7 vs. 14%,
    Conclusion:  This population is low risk for development of EOS; however, 19.7% received an evaluation for infection and 14.3% received antibiotics. Utilization of the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Risk Calculator would have led to a significant reduction in the evaluation for EOS but no reduction in antibiotic exposure. Consideration of delivery mode and indication for delivery may be beneficial to include in risk assessments for EOS.
    Key points: · Cesarean section with rupture of membranes at delivery confers low risk for EOS.. · Respiratory distress often triggers an EOS evaluation.. · Delivery mode should be considered in EOS risk..

    Abstract Background: Cardiovascular health (CVH) in young adulthood (YA) has been associated with cardiovascular outcomes in older age. However, little is known about the relationship between YA CVH and mid-life BP trajectories.
    Methods: Baseline CVH (defined by 7 of AHA's Life's Essential 8 [LE8] metrics, excluding BP) was measured in YA with individual metrics scored and averaged as a composite LE8 score. Categorical CVH status was defined as high, moderate, and low. Latent class analysis was used to identify trajectories of mid-BP (mean of SBP and DBP) from average ages 35 to 55 years. Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate the association of YA CVH status (continuously and categorically) with mid-life BP trajectory group membership.
    Results: There were 3,688 participants from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study in YA with follow-up data for mid-life BP trajectories. We observed 3 BP trajectory groups, labeled as Persistently-Low, Middle, and High-Increasing. On average, each 10-points higher baseline LE8 score (mean [SD] of 73.5 [13.1]) in YA was associated with adjusted odds ratios of 0.78 (95% CI, 0.72-0.84) for membership in the Middle and 0.65 (0.57-0.73) for membership in the High-Increasing trajectory groups. Compared with categorical low CVH status at baseline, those with high CVH were significantly less likely to be in the Middle and High-Increasing BP trajectory groups.
    Conclusions: Moderate or low CVH status in YA is associated with elevated mid-life BP trajectory. These data suggest that young adult CVH promotion may be important for primordial prevention of hypertension.

    Abstract Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that enters homes through cracks in the foundation where accumulated levels can cause lung cancer. Within the United States (U.S.), state level radon reduction strategies rely on education and outreach to motivate people to test and mitigate their home. Only about 5% of the housing units in Colorado, U.S. have been tested for radon. This study looks at the 2012 Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS) in Colorado to identify distinct groups of people using Latent Class Analysis, and compares radon awareness, testing, and mitigation to understand underlying differences of radon reduction behaviors using path models. Five classes were identified: 1) Wealthy Young Families, 2) Older Singles, 3) Empty Nesters, 4) Smokers, and 5) Struggling Young Families. Significant differences in responses to radon survey questions existed across groups in which Struggling Young Families were the least likely to be aware of radon, have tested their home for radon, and have their home mitigated. Average radon awareness, testing, and mitigation appeared to be influenced by financial stress. Results from this study can be used to tailor future radon interventions and policy initiatives to enhance equity of radon reduction behaviors including legal framework to ensure radon mitigation takes place in rental properties.

    Abstract Substantial progress has been made in the past 15 years regarding how prey use a variety of visual camouflage types to exploit both predator visual processing and cognition, including background matching, disruptive coloration, countershading and masquerade. By contrast, much less attention has been paid to how predators might overcome these defences. Such strategies include the evolution of more acute senses, the co-opting of other senses not targeted by camouflage, changes in cognition such as forming search images, and using behaviours that change the relationship between the cryptic individual and the environment or disturb prey and cause movement. Here, we evaluate the methods through which visual camouflage prevents detection and recognition, and discuss if and how predators might evolve, develop or learn counter-adaptations to overcome these. This article is part of the theme issue 'Signal detection theory in recognition systems: from evolving models to experimental tests'.

    Abstract Objective: To compare early-onset sepsis (EOS) risk estimation and recommendations for infectious evaluation and/or empiric antibiotics using a categorical risk assessment versus the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator in a low-risk population.
    Study Design: Retrospective chart review of late preterm (≥35 0/7 –36 6/7 weeks' gestational age) and term infants born at the Brooke Army Medical Center between January 1, 2012 and August 29, 2019. We evaluated those born via cesarean section with rupture of membranes (ROM) < 10 minutes. Statistical analysis was performed to compare recommendations from a categorical risk assessment versus the calculator.
    Results: We identified 1,187 infants who met inclusion criteria. A blood culture was obtained within 72 hours after birth from 234 (19.7%) infants and 170 (14.3%) received antibiotics per routine clinical practice, using categorical risk assessment. Respiratory distress was the most common indication for evaluation, occurring in 173 (14.6%) of patients. After applying the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Calculator to this population, the recommendation was to obtain a blood culture on 166 (14%), to start or strongly consider starting empiric antibiotics on 164 (13.8%), and no culture or antibiotics on 1,021 (86%). Utilizing calculator recommendations would have led to a reduction in frequency of blood culture (19.7 vs. 14%, p  < 0.0001) but no reduction in empiric antibiotics (14.3 vs. 13.8%, p  = 0.53). There were no cases of culture-proven EOS.
    Conclusion: This population is low risk for development of EOS; however, 19.7% received an evaluation for infection and 14.3% received antibiotics. Utilization of the Neonatal Early-Onset Sepsis Risk Calculator would have led to a significant reduction in the evaluation for EOS but no reduction in antibiotic exposure. Consideration of delivery mode and indication for delivery may be beneficial to include in risk assessments for EOS.
    Key Points: Cesarean section with rupture of membranes at delivery confers low risk for EOS. Respiratory distress often triggers an EOS evaluation. Delivery mode should be considered in EOS risk.
