Factors Associated with Mental Health Care among Adolescents in Southern California.

Background: Mental health care is critical to improving mental health but factors associated with student utilization are poorly understood.

Methods: Data were from high school students (N = 2933; mean age = 15.7 ± .

Lactate as a Predictor of 30-Day Mortality in Cardiogenic Shock.

This study sought to evaluate the efficacy of various lactate measurements within the first 24 h post-intensive care unit (ICU) admission for predicting 30-day mortality in cardiogenic shock patients. It compared initial lactate levels, 24 h levels, peak levels, and 24 h clearance, alongside the Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS3) score, to enhance early treatment decision-making. A retrospective analysis of 64 patients assessed the prognostic performance of lactate levels and SAPS3 scores using logistic regression and AUROC calculations.

Translating Multisectoral Nutrition Policy into Community Practice: Participation of Nutrition Officers in Tanzania Fosters Effective Collaborative Strategies to Improve Child Nutrition.

Background: Globally, multisectoral coordination for nutrition is needed to tackle multiple determinants of undernutrition and address unacceptably high rates of stunting in young children. Tanzania has strong national policies and implementation plans to strengthen multisectoral nutrition (MSN) governance, yet local actors must transcend sector silos to fully implement MSN actions in communities.

Objectives: We engaged with Nutrition Officers in Regional Secretariats and District Councils to explore strategies, barriers, and facilitators for creating novel "MSN action teams.

Integrating Calcium Into Antenatal Iron-Folic Acid Supplementation in Ethiopia: Women's Experiences, Perceptions of Acceptability, and Strategies to Support Calcium Supplement Adherence.

Recommendations for antenatal calcium supplementation to prevent preeclampsia could substantially reduce maternal mortality, but adherence to multiple daily doses may constrain effectiveness. World Health Organization guidelines recommend 3 daily calcium supplements (1.5-2 g/d), taken separately from 1 iron-folic acid (IFA) supplement; however, limited data suggest lower calcium doses may also be effective.

A perimidine-derived non-Kekulé triplet diradical.

6,9-Di(tert-butyl)-1-methyltetrazolo[1,5-a]perimidine (1) has been synthesized from naphthalene in seven steps. The EPR spectra, recorded after irradiation of 1 in a butyronitrile matrix at 77 K (lambda = 351 nm) and in Ar and Xe matrixes at 4.6 K (lambda > or = 345 nm), showed a six-line, high-field signal (Delta m(S) = +/- 1), centered at 3350 G in butyronitrile, along with a half-field signal (Delta m(S) = +/- 2), which is characteristic for triplets.
