A benchmark model that combines an embedded-cluster approach for ionic surfaces with wavefunction-based methods to predict the vibrational frequencies of molecules adsorbed on surfaces is presented. As a representative case, the adsorption of CO on the lowest index non-polar and most stable facet of CeO2, that is, (111) was studied. The CO harmonic vibrational frequencies were not scaled semiempirically but explicitly corrected for anharmonic effects, which amount to about 25 cm-1 with all tested methods.

Introduction: Transition of care from hospital to primary care has been recognised globally as a high-risk scenario for older patients' safety by the WHO. Indeed, sub-optimal care transitions are associated with increased mortality, morbidity and adverse events.Improving communication through timely and accurate clinical information transfer has been identified as a key component of optimal care transitions.

Context: Reiki is a biofield therapy from Japan currently used in many US hospitals. Evidence supports Reiki's effectiveness for addressing cancer and treatment-related symptoms such as pain and anxiety. However, no study to date has assessed changes in nausea following Reiki received during infusion treatments or assessed patients from multiple healthcare locations.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study found that iPSC-derived midbrain neurons from patients with Jordan syndrome exhibited notable differences in dopamine-related pathways and neuronal structure.
  • * Researchers tested a CRISPR-based method to correct genetic mutations in neural stem cells, discovering that factors like sgRNA length and cell type affect the efficiency of RNA editing, suggesting a promising avenue for treating NDDs.
