The cyano-cyclopentadiene molecule (CN-CH) has attracted significant interest since its detection in the interstellar medium, but the radical (CN-CH) and anionic (CN-CH) forms of cyano-cyclopentadiene have not been studied. The cyano-cyclopentadienyl radical (CN-Cp) has a strong dipole moment, rendering it an ideal system for vibrational and rotational spectroscopy. We report an investigation of the cryogenically cooled cyano-cyclopentadienide anion (CN-Cp) using high-resolution photoelectron imaging, photodetachment spectroscopy, and resonant photoelectron imaging.

- The systematic review highlights the lack of research on bipolar disorder (BD) in older adults, focusing specifically on how mania and depression are measured in this population.
- Out of 15 studies with 1,041 participants aged 50-98, the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) was most frequently used for mania, while the CES-D and HAM-D were common for depression, revealing comparable mania scores between older and younger age groups but variability in depression scores.
- The review emphasizes the need for more research in older adults with BD to create tailored measures and interventions, noting limitations such as unknown mood states in some studies that could affect results.
We describe a multimodal dataset of paired head and eye movements acquired in controlled virtual reality environments. Our dataset includes head and eye movement for n = 25 participants who interacted with four different virtual reality environments that required coordinated head and eye behaviors. Our data collection involved two visual tracking tasks and two visual searching tasks.

Methods: Four fresh-frozen matched pair cadavers (8 knees) were used to biomechanically compare the native MPFL to augmented MPFLr (n = 4) and semi-T MPFLR (n = 4). The native MPFL (n = 8) was isolated, preserving the femoral and patellar attachments, and pulled to failure.
Objectives: Evaluate system-wide antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) update impact on intravenous (IV)-to-oral (PO) antimicrobial conversion in select community hospitals through pre- and postimplementation trend analysis.
Methods: Retrospective study across seven hospitals: region one (four hospitals, 827 beds) with tele-ASP managed by infectious diseases (ID)-trained pharmacists and region two (three hospitals, 498 beds) without. Data were collected pre- (April 2022-September 2022) and postimplementation (April 2023-September 2023) on nine antimicrobials for the IV to PO days of therapy (DOTs).
