Anions for Near-Infrared Selective Organic Salt Photovoltaics.

Organic molecular salts are an emerging and highly tunable class of materials for organic and transparent photovoltaics. In this work, we demonstrate novel phenyl borate and carborane-based anions paired with a near-infrared (NIR)-selective heptamethine cation. We further explore the effects of anion structures and functional groups on both device performance and physical properties.

Depression in the medical setting: biopsychological interactions and treatment considerations.

This article examines depression in 6 medical conditions: coronary artery disease (CAD), cancer, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, Parkinson's disease, pain, and the sex hormone changes of aging. Research is beginning to define specific biological and psychological mechanisms underlying the adverse interactions between depression and these medical conditions. Antidepressant medications, psychosocial therapies, and hormonal manipulations are effective in reducing depressive symptoms.

A comparison of two approaches to the assessment of binge eating in obesity.

Objective: To compare two different methods of assessing binge eating in a sample of 128 obese women enrolled in a weight loss protocol.

Method: Prior to treatment, participants completed the Binge Eating Scale (BES) and the Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns (QEWP), as well as measures of other relevant constructs. They were then classified as bingers and nonbingers by each method and chance-corrected agreement was calculated.

Anxiety and depression in advanced lung disease.

Anxiety, panic, and depression commonly complicate chronic airflow obstruction, and probably other forms of advanced lung disease as well. Despite the recent development of many new therapeutic options, these conditions remain under-recognized and under-treated in this patient population. Under-diagnosis may result in part from the challenge of distinguishing between the somatic manifestations of psychiatric disease and the physical symptoms of severe respiratory dysfunction.
