The bust card: policing, race, welfare, drugs, and the counterculture in 1960s Britain.

Bust cards first emerged in the late 1960s as a way of obtaining help following arrest, giving the user the number of a 24-h telephone line to call on arrival at the police station. In the 2020s, such cards were used by direct action groups involved in civil disobedience campaigns, but tracing bust cards back reveals that their original purpose was different. The bust card was a novel way of enabling an individual to push back against the immediate experience of hostile policing, while enabling organizers to collate information on what was happening.

Do electronic health records used by primary care practices support recommended alcohol-related care?

Objective: The quality of alcohol-related prevention and treatment in US primary care is poor. The purpose of this study was to describe the extent to which Electronic Health Records (EHRs) used by 167 primary care practices across 7 states currently include the necessary prompts, clinical support, and performance reporting essential for improving alcohol-related prevention and treatment in primary care.

Materials And Methods: Experts from five regional quality improvement programs identified basic EHR features needed to support evidence-based alcohol-related prevention (ie, screening and brief intervention) and treatment of alcohol use disorders (AUD).

Joining Natural and Synthetic DNA Using Biversal Nucleotides: Efficient Sequencing of Six-Nucleotide DNA.

By rearranging hydrogen bond donor and acceptor groups within a standard Watson-Crick geometry, DNA can add eight independently replicable nucleotides forming four additional not found in standard Terran DNA. For many applications, the orthogonal pairing of standard and nonstandard pairs offers a key advantage. However, other applications require standard and nonstandard nucleotides to communicate with each other.

Nurse Care Management of Opioid Use Disorder Treatment After 3 Years: A Secondary Analysis of the PROUD Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: The Primary Care Opioid Use Disorders (PROUD) treatment trial was a 2-year implementation trial that demonstrated the Massachusetts office-based addiction treatment (OBAT) model of nurse care management for opioid use disorder (OUD) increased OUD treatment in the 2 years after implementation began (8.2 more patient-years of OUD treatment per 10 000 primary care patients). The intervention was continued for a third year, permitting evaluation of 3-year outcomes.
