Synergistic Electrode and Electrolyte Polarities Lead to Outstanding Organic Potassium-based Batteries.

Organic materials are promising as battery electrodes due to their flexible design, low cost, and sustainability. Although high electrolyte concentrations are known to suppress organic cathode dissolution, the organic cathode solubility depends on the interplay between the electrode and electrolyte polarities, which remains unexplored. Here, we elucidate the delicate interplay of electrode and electrolyte polarities to achieve stable cycling of organic cathode.

The role of statins in breast cancer survivors.

Purpose: As breast cancer survival rates improve, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become a critical concern among survivors due to co-morbidities and the cardiotoxic effects of cancer treatments. The risk of developing CVD in this population may surpass the risk of cancer recurrence. This review aims to analyze existing research on the use of statins in breast cancer survivors, focusing on their potential role in mitigating cardiovascular risk and cancer recurrence.

Looking back into the Hepatitis C Virus epidemic dynamics from Unnao, India through phylogenetic approach.

Viral hepatitis is a major public health challenge. Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection causes the progressive liver damage. A surprisingly high number of individuals tested positive for HCV infection during the Unnao Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) outbreak investigation in 2017-2018 (more than 90% of the people living with HIV were from the Premganj township and Chakmeerapur village of the district in the northern State of Uttar Pradesh).

Suspected Mpox Symptoms and Testing in Men Who Have Sex With Men in the United States: Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: The 2022 mpox outbreak in the United States disproportionately affected gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Uptake of mpox testing may be related to symptomology, sociodemographic characteristics, and behavioral characteristics.

Objective: This study aimed to describe suspected mpox symptoms and testing uptake among a sample of GBMSM recruited via the internet in the United States in August 2022.

Association between homelessness and PrEP uptake among men who have sex with men: Results from the American Men's Internet Survey, 2017-2021.

Background: Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) are disproportionately affected by housing insecurity across the US. This study examined the association between homelessness and uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention among GBMSM in the United States and investigated the modifying effect of injection drug use.

Methods: 47,750 cisgender GBMSM who participated in the American Men's Internet Survey from 2017 to 2021 and who self-reported not living with HIV were included in this secondary, cross-sectional analysis.
