The current study is the first to describe the application of SPR among survivors of recent sexual assault.

Its reaction with tertiary isothiocyanates results in the abstraction of the sulfur atom to yield a germanium(IV) dimer [((SiMe)N)GeS] in high yield. The reaction with -butylisoselenocyanate produced the related dimer [((SiMe)N)GeSe] within 5 minutes as shown using Se NMR spectroscopy.

Article Synopsis
- Problematic alcohol use (PAU) is common among bereaved adults, with nearly one-third of participants in the study screening positive for PAU, which is higher than the general population.

- Despite the high rates of PAU, only about half of those diagnosed received mental health services, indicating a gap in support for bereaved individuals.
Article Synopsis
- Acute and chronic pain caused by sickle cell disease (SCD) significantly impacts patients' quality of life and often requires ongoing medication for management.* -

- Preliminary results indicated that participants found the mindfulness intervention helpful, reporting increased mindfulness and interest in tailored, non-pharmacological approaches to manage their pain and psychological stress.*
Importance: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue, with a 25% lifetime prevalence. Screening for IPV in primary care is a recommended practice whose effectiveness is debated.
Objective: To assess the effect of an electronic health record (EHR)-based multifactorial intervention screening on the detection of IPV risk in primary care practice.
