The Care and Management of Neonates Experiencing Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and the Role of the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse.

This article aims to provide a comprehensive description of the postnatal effects of drug exposure on neonates, including neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), and the neonatal advanced practice registered nurse (APRN)'s role in working with this vulnerable and marginalized population. Maternal substance use disorders (SUDs) are a significant epidemic in the United States and are a leading cause of infant admission to the NICU. Substance use disorders carry stigmas for individuals experiencing them.

Diffusion of HDO in pure and acid-doped ice films.

In these experiments, a few bilayers of D(2)O were vapor-deposited on a pure crystalline H(2)O ice film or an ice film doped with a small amount of HCl. Upon deposition, H/D isotopic exchange quickly converted the D(2)O layer into an HDO-rich mixture layer. Infrared absorption spectroscopy followed the changes of the HDO from the initial HDO mixture layer to HDO isolated in the H(2)O ice film.
