We examined beliefs and practices regarding firearm assessment and lethal means safety counseling (LMSC) among U.S. Air Force (USAF) mental health providers (MHPs) and behavioral health technicians (BHTs).

- Even though the military stopped the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rule, there are still rules that make it hard to study the needs of military couples with different sexual identities.
- Research is important because LGB+ service members often face mental health issues and lack proper support.
- The paper reviews what we know about LGB+ military couples and suggests changes to help improve their situation through teamwork between military branches, leaders, and researchers.
Article Synopsis
- High ionic conductivity solid-state electrolytes, like LiYBr and LiLaBr, are crucial for efficient solid-state lithium-ion batteries.
- Using simulations, researchers discovered optimal crystal structures and uniform lithium ion distributions in these materials, with notable electrochemical stability windows (2.64 V for LiYBr and 2.57 V for LiLaBr).
- The study indicated that LiYBr and LiLaBr possess significant room temperature conductivity (3.9 mS/cm and higher), with low activation energies (0.26 eV and 0.24 eV respectively), suggesting their potential in enhancing solid-state battery performance.
Introduction: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) administers low-intensity direct current electrical stimulation to brain regions via electrodes arranged on the surface of the scalp. The core promise of tDCS is its ability to modulate brain activity and affect performance on diverse cognitive functions (affording inferences regarding regional brain activity and behavior), but the optimal methodological parameters for maximizing behavioral effects remain to be elucidated. Here we sought to examine the effects of 10 stimulation and experimental design factors across a series of five cognitive domains: motor performance, visual search, working memory, vigilance, and response inhibition.

We retrospectively studied the presence of CI and HRR1 attained on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and those with interstitial lung disease with pulmonary hypertension (ILD-PHTN). Methods A total of 32 patients (21 had ILD alone; 11 had ILD-PHTN) underwent CPET performed per American Thoracic Society protocol on a manually-braked bicycle.
