While enhanced decision-making in larger groups, known as the wisdom of crowds, has been demonstrated in controlled experimental conditions, the intractability of observing large-scale wild groups has limited the availability of evidence from natural systems. Addressing this challenge, we analyze migratory trajectories of flocks of thousands of wild songbirds extracted from 23 years of weather radar data across the Great Lakes of North America. We show that the wisdom of crowds emerged: Larger...

Human liver transplantation is constrained by a critical shortage of viable donor livers. In response to this shortage, marginal livers from extended criteria donors are increasingly used to expand the donor pool. Donor liver viability assessment remains limited by invasive, biopsy-based pathological sampling, and there is a need for more comprehensive and noninvasive evaluation techniques to meet the increasing demand for liver transplants. In this study, we propose the use of...

CONCLUSION: Disparities in multiple NDDs prevalence were observed across US states. These state-level estimates can help decision-makers target programs and allocate resources to address community needs.

We propose the Health Information Exchange Research Network (HIERN) to advance population health research by leveraging state and regional HIEs and their representative real-world data. HIERN builds on existing governance and infrastructure to create centralized or distributed data repositories for longitudinal, multisource data integration. It helps study important clinical and epidemiological topics, such as Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias, one of the fastest-growing chronic...

CONCLUSIONS: Clinically significant residual heparinization was rare in the early postoperative period among cardiac surgical patients with suspected coagulopathy based on sonorheometry CTR. In addition, heparin rebound was observed in only 1 patient with a bolus PHR > 0.8 and in no patients with a cumulative PHR > 0.6.
