Collective emotion is often inferred from the tone of mass media, but such emotion is not directly observed. One approximation is to extract sentiment from text and use sentiment indexes as proxies to study the temporal organization of news sentiment. Using a daily index of U.S. economic news sentiment from 24 newspapers (1980–2025), we examine whether the response time of this sentiment process has changed. Although the average balance of positive and negative coverage has remained broadly stable, the persistence of news sentiment states has increased substantially.

Background Antenatal and postnatal Group Care, based on the Centering Healthcare model, relies on three corecomponents: health assessment, interactive learning and community building. The health assessment consists of selfassessments conducted by the participants and one-to-one medical check-ups conducted by the healthcare provider. Research shows that this component can be challenging within existing health care systems.

Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) have largely replaced the tuberculin skin test (TST) for diagnosing TB infection (TBI) in low-TB-burden countries, except in young children. This review assesses the diagnostic accuracy of IGRAs in children under 5 years old, using TST as a reference, for detecting TBI.

A traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is caused by an acute insult to the spinal cord that inflicts severe damage to the nerve tissue and leads to impaired motor, sensory, and autonomic functions. After the initial injury, a secondary injury phase occurs, which is characterized by an excessive inflammatory response mediated by resident and infiltrating peripheral immune cells that accumulate within the spinal cord lesion. Increasing evidence supports the involvement of B cells in this secondary injury phase post-SCI.

Introduction Patients often seek after-hours medical care due to urgent concerns, convenience or limited access to their regular providers. In Belgium, such care is primarily delivered through general practitioner cooperatives (GPCs), where regional general practitioners collaborate and rotate shifts. Patients may present at GPCs either directly or after calling the national helpline (1733). While doctor–patient communication has been widely studied, interactions between patients and reception staff have received little attention.

Background Persons with disabilities generally have poorer oral health than persons without disabilities, which negatively affects their quality of life. As caregivers play an important role, this study investigated how oral health care is organised and performed by care staff in residential care settings, and examined the barriers and enablers they experience.
