Molecular vibrations are generally responsible for chemical energy transport and dissipation in molecular systems. This transport is fast and efficient if energy is transferred by optical phonons in periodic oligomers, but its efficiency is limited by decoherence emerging due to anharmonic interactions with acoustic phonons. Using a general theoretical model, we show that in the most common case of the optical phonon band being narrower than the acoustic bands, decoherence takes place in two stages.

Compounds of the N-(CH)-COOMe type (denoted as azME) were synthesized with = 5, 10, 15, 19, 28, 37 and studied using relaxation-assisted two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. The speed of the ballistic transport, initiated by the N tag excitation, increased ca.

- Indonesia and French Guiana face similar challenges in emergency medical care access, particularly in the prehospital phase.
- Unlike in France, where emergency medicine is a fully developed specialty, Indonesia is still developing this field.
- A partnership was initiated between Jakarta University and French Guiana University, leading to the launch of a joint program in emergency medicine that started in August 2022, graduating its first class of 50 Indonesian doctors in August 2023.
Background: Acute poisonings (AP) are a significant public health problem, accounting for a high number of emergency department visits and thousands of deaths worldwide. This study aimed to assess the epidemiology of AP in an adult population admitted to Cayenne Hospital (French Guiana) and to investigate the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics.
Methods: We conducted a monocentric retrospective study from January 2010 to December 2022, including patients over eighteen years of age who had been admitted to the emergency department of Cayenne Hospital for acute poisoning.
Introduction: Stress exposure is a significant concern in the healthcare sector. This animal model study aims to reproduce caregivers' working conditions and determine their impact on the brain.
Method: Twenty-four healthy male rats of the Wistar strain were divided into four groups.
