Environments are dynamic and complex. Some children experience more predictable early life environments than others. Here, we consider how moment-by-moment complexity and predictability in our early environments influence development.

Article Synopsis
  • In recent rural U.S. studies, individuals who use drugs (PWUD) are increasingly combining opioids with stimulants like methamphetamine and cocaine.
  • Among 2,705 PWUD surveyed, 74% reported using both opioids and stimulants, with 76% having undergone hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing.
  • Those who used opioids alone had lower rates of HCV testing, and those using both opioids and stimulants were less likely to have received anti-HCV medication compared to those using other drugs.

Background: Collaboration strategies refer to policies and practices used to align operations and services across organizations or systems. These strategies can influence implementation of cross-system interventions focused on improving integration of care, but remain under-specified and under-examined. This study identifies collaboration strategies and the conditions under which they affected implementation of Sobriety Treatment and Recovery Teams (START), an evidence-based intervention focused on integrating child welfare and behavioral health services for families involved with both systems.

Carbon monoxide inhibited forms of nitrogenases have carbonyl (CO) and carbide (C) bridges, which are common in synthetic iron complexes with strong-field ligand environments but rare in iron sites with weak-field ligand environments analogous to the enzyme. Here, we explore the fundamental bonding description of bridging CO in high-spin iron systems. We describe the isolation of several diiron carbonyls and related species, and elucidate their electronic structures, magnetic coupling, and characteristic structural and vibrational parameters.

Article Synopsis
  • More people living with HIV (PWH) are getting older because of better treatments, but mental health and substance use problems are common among them.
  • A study looked at over 2800 older PWH from various countries to check how many have issues like unhealthy drinking, drug use, depression, anxiety, or PTSD.
  • Results showed that 11% of those studied had symptoms of multiple mental health issues, with unhealthy alcohol use affecting 21% and depression affecting 14%.
