Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major cause of mortality worldwide, with a high incidence and low survival rate. Prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use are major contributors in the "chain of survival" for OHCA. the response of a community plays a key role in determining the outcomes in OHCA. The outcomes of OHCA are affected by health inequalities in bystander CPR and AED use, due to factors such as differences in sex, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status amongst others...

The alchemical concepts of chemical symbolism, nomenclature, and affinity underwent fundamental changes between the 1770s and the 1820s, roughly simultaneously with the Chemical Revolution (ca. 1772-89), i. e. the replacement of the phlogiston theory with Lavoisier's New Chemistry. Using the old, alchemical symbols, Bergman devised a system of formulas to describe virtually all known inorganic chemistry, and he influenced Guiton de Morveau's Mémoire sur les Dénominations Chimiques, and the subsequent Méthode de nomenclature...

SUMMARY: We found LLM, traditional machine learning, and deep learning had diverse error profiles on cognitive decline identification from clinical notes, and the ensemble of LLM, machine learning, and deep learning achieved state of the art performance. BACKGROUND: Early detection of cognitive decline in elderly individuals facilitates clinical trial enrollment and timely medical interventions. This study aims to apply, evaluate, and compare advanced natural language processing techniques for identifying signs of cognitive decline in clinical notes...

Although research into multimodal stance-taking has gained momentum over the past years, the multimodal construction of so-called stacked stances has not yet received systematic attention in the literature. Mocking enactments are a prime example of such complex social actions as they are layered both interactionally and stance-related, and they rely significantly on the use of bodily visual resources, depicting rather than describing events and stances. Using Du Bois' Stance Triangle as a framework, this study investigates mocking enactments as a case study to unravel the multimodal aspects of layered stance expressions...

This review is based on a conference presented in June 2023. Its main objective is to explain the cognitive differences between humans and non-human primates (NHPs) focusing on characteristics of their brains. It is based on the opinion of a clinical neurologist and does not intend to go beyond an overview of this complex topic. As language is the main characteristic differentiating humans from NHPs, this review is targeted at their brain networks related to language. NHPs have rudimentary forms of language, including primitive lexical/semantic signs...

BACKGROUND: Despite young children's widespread use of mobile devices, little research exists on this use and its association with children's language development. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between mobile device screen time and language comprehension and expressive language skills. An additional aim was to examine whether three factors related to the domestic learning environment modify the associations. METHODS: The study uses data from the Danish large-scale survey TRACES among two- and three-year-old children (n = 31,125)...

OBJECTIVE: Hepatic infarction is a rare complication of pregnancy most often associated with hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome. The objective of this review is to identify risk factors, presenting signs and symptoms, methods of diagnosis, and best management practices based on published case reviews. DATA SOURCES: PUBMED and MEDLINE: OVID databases were searched for citations regarding hepatic infarction in pregnancy or the postpartum period since database inception until the study date of December 18, 2023...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Although autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has not traditionally been associated with morphosyntactic impairments, some children with ASD manifest significant difficulties in this domain. Sentence Repetition (SRep) tasks are highly reliable tools for detecting morphosyntactic impairment in different languages and across various populations, including children with ASD. This study is among the first to evaluate morphosyntactic abilities of Palestinian-Arabic (PA) speaking children using a PA SRep task...

Sign languages (SLs) are expressed through different bodily actions, ranging from re-enactment of physical events (constructed action, CA) to sequences of lexical signs with internal structure (plain telling, PT). Despite the prevalence of CA in signed interactions and its significance for SL comprehension, its neural dynamics remain unexplored. We examined the processing of different types of CA (subtle, reduced, and overt) and PT in 35 adult deaf or hearing native signers. The electroencephalographic-based processing of signed sentences with incongruent targets was recorded...

This study intends to find what are the experiences of international students semiotically adapting to unfamiliar signs in the United Kingdom before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six international university students to learn about their experiences of adapting to a new country. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Two themes were classified as dialogical self in interpersonal adaptation and linguistic elements of semiotic adaptation, each with two subthemes...

BACKGROUND: Delay time to hospital arrival may be influenced by lack of recognition of stroke signs and the necessity to seek emergency medical, which in turn is influenced by language barriers to, a modifiable risk factor, stroke awareness education.
