Prediction of fish (Coilia nasus) catch using spatiotemporal environmental variables and random forest model in a highly turbid macrotidal estuary by Vishal Singh Rawat, Gubash Azhikodan, Katsuhide Yokoyama

“…The results revealed that model M19, which incorporated salinity, SSC, and discharge, achieved the highest predictive accuracy (R2 = 0.89) and closely matched actual field conditions. Further, the results agree with previous research, as spatial distribution plots showed a preference for mature C. nasus habitats 15–16 km upstream from the river mouth. …”

Combination of reverse shock index and simplified motor score as a strong discriminator of trauma outcomes by Meng-Yu Wu, Giou-Teng Yiang, Ding-Kuo Chien, Sy-Jou Chen, Chi-Ming Chu, Jui-Yuan Chung, Hon-Ping Ma, Mau-Roung Lin

“…The optimal cutoff value of rSI-sMS had a discriminant ability of 85.0, 78.6, 75.2, and 81.0% for in-hospital mortality, ICU admissions, ICU stay ≥14 days, and hospital stays of ≥30 days, respectively.Conclusions Compared with the shock index, modified shock index, and rSI-GCSM, rSI-sMS is a more accurate field triage scoring system for discriminating in-hospital mortality, ICU admissions, prolonged ICU stay, and prolonged hospital stays in patients with trauma.…”

Costs of community-wide mass drug administration and school-based deworming for soil-transmitted helminths: evidence from a randomised controlled trial in Benin, India and Malawi by Judd Walson, ROBIN BAILEY, Katya Galactionova, Maitreyi Sahu, Samuel Paul Gideon, Saravanakumar Puthupalayam Kaliappan, Chloe Morozoff, Sitara Swarna Rao Ajjampur, Khumbo Kalua, Euripide Avokpaho, Moudachirou Ibikounle, Arianna Rubin Means, James Simwanza, Wongani Lungu, Parfait Houngbegnon, Adrian J F Luty, Rachel Pullan

“…We compared the costs of cMDA to SBD to inform decision-making about future updates to STH policy.Design We conducted activity-based microcosting of cMDA and SBD for 2 years in Benin, India and Malawi within an ongoing cMDA trial.Setting Field sites and collaborating research institutions.Primary and secondary outcomes We calculated total financial and opportunity costs and costs per treatment administered (unit costs in 2019 USD ($)) from the service provider perspective, including costs related to community drug distributors and other volunteers.Results On average, cMDA unit costs were more expensive than SBD in India ($1.17 vs $0.72) and Malawi ($2.26 vs $1.69), and comparable in Benin ($2.45 vs $2.47). cMDA was more expensive than SBD in part because most costs (~60%) were ‘supportive costs’ needed to deliver treatment with high coverage, such as additional supervision and electronic data capture. …”
