Longitudinal determinants of thriving in Puerto Rican climate crisis migrants on the U.S. mainland: A structural equation model.

Climate-related disasters pose significant risks to mental health and well-being globally. Individuals from disaster-prone regions, such as Puerto Rico, are at even greater risk. The devastating effects of recurrent hurricanes, compounded with pre-existing structural disparities (e.

New Label-Free DNA Nanosensor Based on Top-Gated Metal-Ferroelectric-Metal Graphene Nanoribbon on Insulator Field-Effect Transistor: A Quantum Simulation Study.

In this paper, a new label-free DNA nanosensor based on a top-gated (TG) metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistor (TG-MFM GNRFET) is proposed through a simulation approach. The DNA sensing principle is founded on the dielectric modulation concept. The computational method employed to evaluate the proposed nanobiosensor relies on the coupled solutions of a rigorous quantum simulation with the Landau-Khalatnikov equation, considering ballistic transport conditions.

Heterogeneous integration of GaInAsSb-GaSb photodiodes on SOI photonic integrated circuits for SWIR applications.

We demonstrate the heterogeneous integration of GaInAsSb-GaSb photodiodes on 220 nm SOI photonic integrated circuits (PICs) using the micro-transfer-printing (μTP) technology, for operation in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength region. Utilizing an evanescent coupling scheme between a silicon waveguide and a III-V structure, the device exhibits a room temperature responsivity of 1.23 and 1.

Deep Septal Pacing for Pacemaker-Induced Cardiomyopathy.

Introduction: Right ventricular (RV) pacing can impair left ventricular function and cause heart failure, known as pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM). Upgrade to cardiac resynchronization (CRT) is its usual treatment; recently left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has emerged as a potential alternative. Deep septal pacing (DSP), a simplified alternative to LBBAP, is still able to achieve narrower paced QRS than during conventional RV pacing.

Anterior Gastropexy for Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Paraesophageal hernias can cause severe limitations in quality of life and life-threatening complications. Even though minimally invasive paraesophageal hernia repair (MIS-PEHR) is safe and effective, anatomic recurrence rates remain notoriously high. Retrospective data suggest that suturing the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall after repair-an anterior gastropexy-may reduce recurrence, but this adjunct is currently not the standard of care.
