Data were drawn from the 2017 National Study of Caregiving and the National Health and Aging Trends Study. Participants included Black American caregivers of Medicare enrollees aged 65 and older (N = 699). Role overload was positively associated with sleep disturbance and i…
Active vs. sham pulsed electromagnetic field therapy added to standardized conservative care for partial-thickness supraspinatus tears
Background Partial-thickness supraspinatus tears commonly cause shoulder pain and functional limitation. Although conservative treatment can improve symptoms, whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy provides additional clinically meaningful benefit remains uncertain. Existing PEMF evidence is mainly derived from rotator cuff tendinopathy or subacromial impingement populations, whereas sham-controlled evidence in MRI-confirmed partial-…
Simulation Intervention for Cross-Sectional Network Models
Traditional cross-sectional network-centrality metrics fail to distinguish causal directions between symptoms, leading to biases in selecting potential intervention targets. The nodeIdentifyR algorithm (NIRA) addresses this issue by using simulation-based interventions to identify projected optimal intervention target in cross-sectional networks. However, existing applications of NIRA typically overlook several recommended validation steps, which…
Multidrug-resistant organisms on in-use medical textiles in a Shanghai tertiary hospital

Mock-jurors are insensitive to accuracy differences between showups and lineups
Lineup identification procedures result in more accurate decisions relative to showups. This superior performance is seen even in situations where showups have a memorial advantage (i.e. administered immediately after a crime). Nonetheless, showups remain the most used identification procedure due to their ability to exculpate innocent individuals and allow pursuit of other leads. While researchers and legal officials recognise the suggestibility…
Unmet need for home care during the great recession
Home care can be costly and time consuming to provide, and there is often limited public financing available to those with care needs. As a result, many adults experience unmet need and/or gaps in home-care support. This is particularly acute during times of austerity when budget constraints further limit public spending. This study examines determinants of unmet need for home-care support among adults over 50 in England and Ireland during the Gr…
Modeling Long-Term Emotional Support Through Causal World Modeling With Imitation Learning
Emotional support conversation systems have emerged as a promising complement to traditional mental health consultations, offering context-aware dialogue to support seekers’ emotional well-being. Despite their potential, two fundamental challenges remain unresolved: 1) modeling long-term emotional trajectory beyond short-term relief; and 2) adapting support strategies to context in a psychologically coherent manner. To address these challenges, w…

Coupled Optical and Molecular Insights Into Dissolved Organic Matter Dynamics in Runoff From Patchy Slopes Co‐Covered by Vegetation and Biocrusts During Rainfall in Arid and Semiarid Regions
Arid landscapes are shifting from biocrusts‐ or vascular plant‐dominated systems to mosaics where both coexist under climate change; yet, dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics in these transitional habitats remain poorly understood. Therefore, three types of runoff plots were set on slopes with biocrusts (BC), Bothriochloa ischaemum (L.) + biocrusts (BI BC ), and Artemisia sacrorum Ledeb. + biocrusts (AS BC ) in a typical semiarid region. The d…

Population Genetics and Forensic Efficiency of 30 InDel Markers in Four Chinese Ethnic Groups Residing in Sichuan
Sichuan Province is located at the transitional junction regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the low-altitude plains. It also serves as the corridor of Sino-Tibetan-speaking population migration and expansion since neolithic expansion of Proto-Tibeto-Burman populations from Middle/Upper Yellow River during Majiayao period (3300-2000 BC). However, the population structure and the corresponding genetic diversity of forensic-related markers in …

Late Quaternary downcutting rates of the Qianyou river from U/Th speleothem Dates, Qinling mountains, China
Dating deposits in caves formed by rivers may yield insight into rates and processes of bedrock incision. Three cave passages at different levels have developed in the walls of the Qianyou River valley in the Qinling mountains, south of the city of Xian, China. Twelve speleothem samples near the position of palaeowater tables in three cave passages are dated by the 230 Th dating method. The results show that the river cut down at the rate of 0.23…
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Diabetes Care for Older Veterans
BACKGROUND: Veterans Health Administration (VHA) databases are used extensively to study racial/ethnic disparities; however, these databases may not capture all care received by VHA patients. OBJECTIVES: We examined the extent to which accounting for non-VHA care changed conclusions about racial/ethnic disparities for VHA patients with diabetes. METHODS: Using a cross-sectional observational study, we analyzed a national sample of noninstitutiona…

China’s life satisfaction, 1990–2010
Despite its unprecedented growth in output per capita in the last two decades, China has essentially followed the life satisfaction trajectory of the central and eastern European transition countries—a U-shaped swing and a nil or declining trend. There is no evidence of an increase in life satisfaction of the magnitude that might have been expected to result from the fourfold improvement in the level of per capita consumption that has occurred. A…

Diversity of wetland plants used traditionally in China
BACKGROUND: In comparison with terrestrial plants, those growing in wetlands have been rarely studied ethnobotanically, including in China, yet people living in or near wetlands can accumulate much knowledge of the uses of local wetland plants. A characteristic of wetlands, cutting across climatic zones, is that many species are widely distributed, providing opportunities for studying general patterns of knowledge of the uses of plants across ext…
