Summary: DC is effective in relieving intracranial hypertension, but controversy exists regarding patient selection, intracranial pressure threshold, timing, and long-term functional outcomes. Recommendations based on DECRA and RESCUEicp trials have updated guidelines, but personalized decision-making requires consideration of individual patient preferences through shared decision-making.

Summary: Although neonatal care largely follows clinical guidelines, there is still wide variation in practice, possibly due to the lack of family input in guideline development and differences in values and preferences among caregivers and families. Acknowledging and incorporating this variability in patient and family values in guidelines is important for promoting shared decision-making and reducing unwarranted practice variation in family-centered evidence-based medicine.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel POI recommendation framework named U-CF-Memory-Stickiness, which emphasizes the importance of personal psychological effects and memory-based preference evolution in human mobility patterns, as well as the consideration of POI stickiness based on visiting frequency to identify important POIs reflecting stable interests. By incorporating memory-based preferences and POI stickiness into a user-based collaborative filtering framework, the proposed method outperforms existing methods in POI recommendations, as demonstrated in experiments on a real LBSN dataset.

Summary: 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa currently lack access to electricity, highlighting the need for equitable electricity systems. This study finds that higher preferences for equality result in increased deployment of solar diesel mini-grids, driving up the carbon emissions intensity of the electricity system.

Summary: The study found that patients are more likely to delegate the responsibility of problem-solving tasks to surgeons but desire an equal share of responsibility in decision-making tasks. These findings support the current shift away from the paternalistic model of surgical decision-making and provide an effective strategy to align shared decision-making with patient preferences.
