Targeted Assessment and Context-Tailored Implementation of Change Strategies (TACTICS) to increase evidence based psychotherapy in military behavioral health clinics: Design of a cluster-randomized stepped-wedge implementation study.

Background: Despite efforts by the U.S. Department of Defense to train behavioral health (BH) providers in evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), numerous barriers limit EBP implementation.

Synthesis and characterization of thiol-acrylate hydrogels using a base-catalyzed Michael addition for 3D cell culture applications.

There is significant interest in developing new approaches for culturing mammalian cells in a three-dimensional (3D) environment due to the fact that it better recapitulates the in vivo environment. The goal of this work was to develop thiol-acrylate, biodegradable hydrogels that possess highly tunable properties to support in vitro 3D culture. Six different hydrogel formulations were synthesized using two readily available monomers, a trithiol (ETTMP 1300 [ethoxylated trimethylolpropane tri(3-mercaptopropionate) 1300]) and a diacrylate (PEGDA 700 [polyethylene glycol diacrylate 700]), polymerized by a base-catalyzed Michael addition reaction.

PTSD Symptoms Experienced and Coping Tactics Used by Crime Scene Investigators in the United States.

Few investigations have assessed the prevalence of posttraumatic stress experiences among Crime Scene Investigators (CSIs). We recruited a nationwide sample of 225 CSIs to complete online questionnaires assessing PTSD symptoms, use of specific coping tactics, perceived social support, trait resilience, and demographics. Seven symptoms had been experienced by at least 50% of participants during the previous month, and 9.

Hemodynamic findings of spontaneously recanalized coronary thrombus.

This case presented is a patient with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction with angiographic non-flow limiting linear opacity in coronary artery with fractional flow reserve in ischemic range secondary to recanalized organized thrombus.

Prevalence, prognosis, and therapeutic implications of unrecognized left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with anemia and chronic kidney disease.

The prevalence and outcomes of unrecognized left ventricular dysfunction (ULVSD) in patients with anemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not known. The authors determined whether anemia (hemoglobin <13 g/L) and CKD (glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min) are risk factors for ULVSD (ejection fraction <35%, no known heart failure [HF]) and to determine its impact on clinical outcomes. A total of 1358 patients without history of HF undergoing gated myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography for evaluation of suspected coronary artery disease were followed for a mean of 2.

Imaging diagnosis--nasal septal and laryngeal cyst-like malformationsin a Thoroughbred weanling colt diagnosed using ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging.

A foal was examined for abnormal upper airway noise. Endoscopically, there were narrowed nasal passages and an extralumenal mass of the cranial trachea. Using ultrasonography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the larynx and cranial cervical trachea, irregular margins of the laryngeal cartilages and first tracheal ring containing areas consistent with fluid were identified.

Scintillation proximity assay for DNA binding by human p53.

Many DNA binding proteins are known to regulate gene expression. When that binding is altered, a disease state can result. A common method for measuring DNA binding, namely electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) is often used but it is not amenable to rapid screening of many samples.
