Replacing Registered Nurses in High Stakes Hospital Care is Dangerous to Patients
University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing

A new study published in Medical Care today showed that substituting registered nurses (RN) with lower-wage staff (e.g. licensed practical nurses, unlicensed assistive personnel) in hospital care is linked with more deaths, readmissions, longer hospital stays, poorer patient satisfaction, and higher costs of care.

Department of Energy, Office of Science

Building large-scale quantum computers will require the ability to create and control qubits made of industrially relevant materials. Researchers have used atomic-level simulations to understand how the vacancies in silicon carbide that translate into spin-based qubits form and behave. This is an important step toward the future of quantum computing as well as quantum sensing.

Advanced AI-Based Techniques Scale-up Solving Complex Combinatorial Optimization Problems
University of California San Diego

A framework based on advanced AI techniques can solve complex, computationally intensive problems faster and in a more more scalable way than state-of-the-art methods, according to a study led by engineers at the University of California San Diego. In the paper, which was published May 30 in Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers present HypOp, a framework that uses unsupervised learning and hypergraph neural networks.

Engaging With Patients for Better Treatments and Outcomes for Smell and Taste Disorders
Monell Chemical Senses Center

in 2022 collaborators - patient groups, basic researchers, and clinicians - conducted a survey and listening sessions with patients, caregivers, and family members affected by impaired smell or taste. They asked about their individual perceptions of the effectiveness of treatments, among other topics. Using an online questionnaire, over 5,800 people in the U.S. - from all 50 states and the District of Columbia - answered the team’s call to action. The findings underscore the importance of conducting more large-scale, randomized clinical trials that include older participant, as well as how enthusiastic and involve patients would like to be
