评论了 Hallucinogen use predicts reduced recidivism among substance-involved offenders under community corrections supervision
Very nice literature review, but I had to chuckle when I read this sentence: ". . . met with enthusiasm from the scientific community, including calls for further investigation," because the author cites himself as one of the people calling for it.

评论了 Hallucinogen use predicts reduced recidivism among substance-involved offenders under community corrections supervision
Trying not to cherry-pick the evidence, but I find the emergence of this treatment to be just fascinating. Another article suggests reduced occurrence of domestic violence incidents: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0269881113513851

An animal model, but provides additional support for the budding field of psychedelic therapy for treating drug addiction.

评论了 A Narrative Review of the Epidemiology of Congenital Syphilis in the United States from 1980-2019
I'm curious as to why the authors selected a narrative approach rather than taking on a systematic review.

评论了 Using Surveillance Data to Respond to an Outbreak of Congenital Syphilis in Arizona Through Third-Trimester Screening Policies, 2017-2018
This study makes an important point, but I would like to have seen the concept of "estimated net cost" in the abstract be more explicit; that is, cost to whom? The same policies could easily affect redistribute costs among public payers, private payers, social services--I'm assuming they mean overall societal cost but in that case it would still need to be defined.

评论了 Radiotracking refines the role of food supplementation on overwinter survival of the Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis)

评论了 Hypertension Medication Access and Self-Management Among the Elderly by Education: Insights from the 2013 USA Medicare Current Beneficiary’s Survey
This very brief report does not address whether income was included in the multivariable models that determined that "having less than a high school education was negatively associated with satisfaction in: the amount paid for medication." The MCBS does have a very detailed income and assets section, but I can't tell if it was used. If not, then educational attainment is probably a proxy for income in this instance.

评论了 Nurses' perceptions of rooming-in for caregivers of infants with CCHD
This is odd. As far as I can tell, there is no presentation of results, nor is this article a study design proposal. It just says they did focus groups to find out about the issue described in the title. I'm puzzled.

评论了 Epidemiological characteristics, safety and efficacy of medical cannabis in the elderly
"After six months, 18.1% stopped using opioid analgesics or reduced their dose." That is truly remarkable.
