Charge and Spin Dynamics and Destabilization of Shallow Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers under UV and Blue Excitation.

Shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond offer opportunities to study photochemical reactions, including photogeneration of radical pairs, at the single-molecule regime. A prerequisite is a detailed understanding of charge and spin dynamics of NVs exposed to the short-wavelength light required to excite chemical species. Here, we investigate the charge and spin dynamics of shallow NVs under 445 and 375 nm illumination.

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) Bleeding Risk: Considerations for the Consult-Liaison Psychiatrist.

Purpose Of Review: To present a clinically oriented review of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)-related bleeding issues commonly addressed by consult-liaison psychiatrists.

Recent Findings: Concomitant medical, surgical, or hospital-based conditions exacerbate the risk of SSRI-related bleeding even though a review of the literature suggests it is only marginally elevated. Psychiatrists and other clinicians need to consider these conditions along with antidepressant benefits when answering the question: to start, hold, continue, or change the antidepressant? Where an evidence base is limited, mechanistic understanding may help consult-liaison psychiatrists navigate this terrain and collaborate with other medical specialties on responsible antidepressant management.

Motor vehicle crashes on tribal reservations: mapping and statistics.

Background: Motor vehicle crashes (MVC's) in the American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities account for 43% of unintentional injury deaths. This article introduces MVC data and geographic information system (GIS) mapping for tribal reservations.

Methods: Utilizing a sample of Montana Department of Transportation (DOT) data for the Flathead reservations to calculate frequencies and proportions of crash types (i.

Understanding the health risks in basic science medical students: a cross sectional survey.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Background Medical students are usually subjected to a high workload environment and stress is one of the most important health risks that medical students encounter.

A functional ATG16L1 (T300A) variant is associated with necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants.

Background: The genetic basis of dysfunctional immune responses in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains unknown. We hypothesized that variants in nucleotide binding and oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) and autophagy (ATG) genes modulate vulnerability to NEC.

Methods: We genotyped a multi-center cohort of premature infants with and without NEC for NOD1, NOD2, ATG16L1, CARD8, and NLRP3 variants.
