Diagnostic Performance of Comprehensive Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound for Pediatric Tuberculosis in Spain: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
In children with presumptive tuberculosis, comprehensive point‐of‐care (cPOCUS) identified key thoracic abnormalities with high specificity and excellent inter‐reader reliability. Although diagnostic sensitivity was modest and examinations often incomplete, cPOCUS shows promise as a complementary, radiation‐free imaging tool.

Understanding bidirectional and transactional relations in parent and offspring mental health: Using COVID‐19 pandemic data to gain insights

open access: yesJCPP Advances, EarlyView.
This study found that parent internalising symptoms predicted internalising symptoms in younger children, with no evidence of child‐driven effects. Among adolescents, mental health symptoms showed bidirectional associations with parent internalising symptoms, particularly for externalising symptoms.

Toward Faster Recalls of Dangerous Medical Devices: Does Ownership by Large Institutional Investors Matter?

open access: yesJournal of Operations Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recall delays expose consumers to prolonged risk and undermine a firm's long‐term performance and reputation. Building on agency theory's conceptualization of principal‐agent relationships, we theorize that large institutional investors play an important monitoring role wherein their ownership encourages faster recalls. We then build on agency

Poly(O‐Propargyl‐N‐Amino Carbamate), a Reactive Polymer to Underpin Biomedical Applications of Poly(acetylene)s

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We report here a new methodology to prepare functional poly(acetylene)s under aqueous conditions. This methodology is underpinned by poly(O‐propargyl‐N‐amino carbamate) (P1), a reactive poly(acetylene) carrying acyl hydrazines. Thus, P1 reacts with aldehydes to give functional poly(acetylene)s, including cationic, hydrophobic, and sugar‐loaded poly ...
