Article Synopsis
- Biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) is crucial for understanding atmospheric chemistry and climate change, but its behavior under evaporation conditions is not well studied.
- This research examined the evaporation effects on BBOA proxies created from wood pyrolysis emissions, analyzing changes in volatility and viscosity.
- Results indicated that evaporation increases particle viscosity, which slows down diffusion and alters particle formation, emphasizing the need for these factors in atmospheric models to predict BBOA's environmental effects.
Article Synopsis
- Ketamine is increasingly used in the U.S. for mental health treatment but its nonmedical use and resulting disorder (KUD) are not well-studied domestically, despite rising prevalence.
- A case study of a 32-year-old man with KUD showed that after traditional treatment, he experienced severe cravings and was treated with lamotrigine and naltrexone, which reduced his cravings and altered his ketamine experience.
- The treatment highlights a potential strategy for KUD, combining pharmacotherapy and therapeutic support, but further research is necessary to understand its effectiveness.
Objective: Although veterans living with HIV infection are burdened with smoking-related morbidities, few studies have explored theory-informed, evidence-based smoking cessation interventions in the Veterans Affairs (VA) Health System.
Method: In this concurrent mixed-method study, we sought to better understand factors influencing the adoption of existing evidence-based smoking cessation interventions (reminders, telephone quit lines, pharmacological) for veterans in VA HIV clinics. We explored the alignment of the revised Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services Framework (i-PARIHS) with study results.

Substance use problems were defined by meeting criteria for DSM-IV substance abuse or dependence, hazardous drinking by AUDIT-C, or treatment in a SUD program within the prior 6 months.
