Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning falters, thoughts and behavior can go astray. In psychiatric disorders ranging from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder to schizophrenia, the brain may misjudge how much evidence to gather before acting—or fail to adjust when the rules of the world change based on new information.

For many years, the Indian Health Service (IHS) has been underfunded, leading to health and life expectancy disparities among Indigenous people, according to University of Oklahoma researchers.

New study findings show the vast majority of small-scale quality improvement (QI) projects in surgery suffer from poor planning that can doom the effort from the start. To address this challenge, researchers have developed and tested a new tool, the Early Planning of Small-Scale Surgical Improvement (EPoSSI) framework, to guide surgeons and their teams through a comprehensive planning process.

Approximately 20% of American adolescents experience a mental health disorder each year, a number that has been on the rise. Genetics and life events contribute, but because so many factors are involved, and because their influence can be subtle, it's been difficult for researchers to generate effective models for predicting who is most at risk for mental health problems.

While our immune systems typically do a great job containing pathogens and clearing infections, they can occasionally overreact. When the immune response to infection becomes excessive, it causes rapid, widespread organ damage in a life-threatening condition called sepsis. Worldwide, sepsis imposes significant social, economic, and health costs. Estimates put global cases of sepsis at 50 million per year, resulting in over 11 million deaths annually.
