Background: The Veterans Health Administration (VA) has prioritized addressing opioid use disorder (OUD) due to rising opioid overdose rates among Veterans, aiming to expand evidence-based OUD treatment in primary care. The purpose of this project was to (1) examine VA provider perspectives regarding OUD treatment in primary care, and (2) explore provider perceptions about stigma related to OUD.
Methods: From September 2021 to June 2022, we held 6 semi-structured focus groups with multidisciplinary VA primary care providers (n = 91 participants) via Microsoft Teams and in person.
Aims: Caregiver diabetes distress (DD) consists of negative emotions about a child's T1D diagnosis and has been associated with increased child haemoglobin A1c and family conflict. The primary aim was to identify the feasibility and acceptability of a multidisciplinary pilot intervention for caregiver DD in a diverse academic pediatric diabetes centre. Another primary aim was to determine the percentage of local caregivers with DD.

Nevertheless, there is still no unified view of what is happening to a quantum system inside an interferometer. Strong measurements of path operators destroy the interference effect.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS), a leading-edge technology, represents a new paradigm for adaptive control of electromagnetic waves between a source and a user. While RIS technology has proven effective in manipulating radio frequency waves using passive elements such as diodes and MEMS, its application in the optical domain is challenging. The main difficulty lies in meeting key performance indicators, with the most critical being accurate and self-adjusting positioning.

- Researchers achieved the first-ever electric field periodic poling of single crystal barium titanate (BTO) thin films, paving the way for better optical performance through quasi-phase-matching (QPM).
- The BTO thin films were grown on dysprosium scandate substrates using pulsed laser deposition, and their quality was confirmed through advanced microscopy techniques.
- The study demonstrated high-quality, uniform poling with a 50% duty cycle and periods of 2 to 10 µm, opening new possibilities for efficient nonlinear optical processes in BTO photonic devices.
