Non-linear enhancement of ultrafast X-ray diffraction through transient resonances.

Diffraction-before-destruction imaging with ultrashort X-ray pulses can visualize non-equilibrium processes, such as chemical reactions, with sub-femtosecond precision in the native environment. Here, a nanospecimen diffracts a single X-ray flash before it disintegrates. The sample structure can be reconstructed from the coherent diffraction image (CDI).

Anxiety-Like Behaviors in Mice Unmasked: Revealing Sex Differences in Anxiety Using a Novel Light-Heat Conflict Test.

Anxiety and chronic pain afflict hundreds of millions worldwide. Anxiety and pain are more prevalent in females compared to males. Unfortunately, robust sex differences in human anxiety are not recapitulated in rodent tests, and results from rodent pain studies frequently fail to translate clinically.

Evolution of Medical and Community Resource Services Within a Student-Run Clinic Following COVID-19 Pandemic.

Introduction/objectives: With redistribution of resources and time during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thrive Bridge Clinic altered its focus, alongside the changes in the healthcare system and needs of the population. This paper describes how the Thrive clinic services have been altered between 2019 and 2022 as a result of COVID-19.

Methods: Data was collected via retrospective chart review of patient encounters.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)-Associated Jaccoud's Arthropathy.

Jaccoud's arthropathy (JA) is a chronic deforming arthropathy, initially linked to rheumatic fever, now more commonly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report a case of a 27-year-old male presenting with a four-month history of joint pain in the bilateral hands and feet, accompanied by stiffness but no swelling, erythema, or fever. Physical examination revealed flexion deformities, ulnar deviation at the metacarpophalangeal joints, and hyperextension at the proximal interphalangeal joints, without tenderness.
