Going Paperless: Using Electronic Questionnaires to Improve the Quality of Well-Child Checkups.

Objective: At our large, university-affiliated primary care clinic, we aimed to enhance the quality of well-child checkups (WCCs) to align with Bright Futures/American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations. Our primary goal was to increase the rate of complete WCCs from 45.6% to 80% by April 2024.

Comparison of Different Pulse Modulation Modes for Holmium:Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet Laser Lithotripsy Ablation in a Benchtop Model.

Manipulation of Holmium:Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet laser parameters such as pulse energy (PE), frequency, and duration can impact laser lithotripsy ablation efficiency. In 2017, Lumenis introduced Moses™ Technology, which uses pulse modulation to enhance the delivery of energy from fiber to stone as well as to minimize stone retropulsion. Since the introduction of Moses Technology, other companies have brought additional pulse modulation concepts to market.

Phenotypic divergence among threespine stickleback that differ in nuptial coloration.

By studying systems in their earliest stages of differentiation, we can learn about the evolutionary forces acting within and among populations and how those forces could contribute to reproductive isolation. Such an understanding would help us to better discern and predict how selection leads to the maintenance of multiple morphs within a species, rather than speciation. The postglacial adaptive radiation of the threespine stickleback () is one of the best-studied cases of evolutionary diversification and rapid, repeated speciation.
