Direct Measurement of Charge Transfer Probability during Photodissociation of Few-keV OD Beam.

We have measured the photodissociation of few-keV OD molecular ions into either D + O or O + D final products. The three-dimensional momentum imaging measurements of the light and massive fragments in coincidence were enabled by using an upgraded two-detector setup. In this work, we show that absorption of a single 790 or 395 nm photon excites the OD from its electronic ground state to the B state, which dissociates to the O(S) + D dissociation limit.

Initial-site characterization of hydrogen migration following strong-field double-ionization of ethanol.

An essential problem in photochemistry is understanding the coupling of electronic and nuclear dynamics in molecules, which manifests in processes such as hydrogen migration. Measurements of hydrogen migration in molecules that have more than two equivalent hydrogen sites, however, produce data that is difficult to compare with calculations because the initial hydrogen site is unknown. We demonstrate that coincidence ion-imaging measurements of a few deuterium-tagged isotopologues of ethanol can determine the contribution of each initial-site composition to hydrogen-rich fragments following strong-field double ionization.

Relationship Between Patient-Centered Primary Care Provider Communication and Emergency Room Visits in the Medicaid Population in North Carolina, United States.

Introduction: Medicaid, a joint federal-state program, finances health care for eligible low-income individuals and families in the United States. Medicaid patients use disproportionately more emergency room (ER) services than other patients in the United States. Inadequate provider communication during primary care visits might be one reason for this well-documented phenomenon.

Implementation and Assessment of No Opioid Prescription Strategy at Discharge After Major Urologic Cancer Surgery.

Importance: Postoperative opioid prescriptions are associated with delayed recovery, perioperative complications, opioid use disorder, and diversion of overprescribed opioids, which places the community at risk of opioid misuse or addiction.

Objective: To assess a protocol for eliminating postdischarge opioid prescriptions after major urologic cancer surgery.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study of the no opioid prescriptions at discharge after surgery (NOPIOIDS) protocol was conducted between May 2017 and June 2021 at a tertiary referral center.
