A Systematic Review of Indocyanine Green Lymphography (ICGL) Imaging for the Diagnosis of Primary Lymphoedema.

Objectives: This systematic review aims to evaluate the use of Indocyanine Green Lymphography (ICGL) for the investigation of the lymphatics in the lower limbs of primary lymphoedema patients.

Methods: MEDLINE and EMBASE articles from 01/01/2000 to 01/09/2023 were searched for. A total of 11 studies were included in the review after a two-stage screening process.

LGBTQ+ status and sex of record in Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder: demographics, comorbidities, and outpatient encounters.

Objectives: This study aims to analyze differences between lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) and non-LGBTQ+ Veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in terms of demographics, comorbidities, and medical care usage, including differences by sex of record, including separate analyses for transgender and non-transgender Veterans.

Methods: Chi-square, -test, ANOVA Welch one-way testing, and absolute standardized difference analyses were conducted on a cohort of 277,539 Veterans diagnosed with PTSD.

Results: The study found significant differences, particularly concerning positive LGBTQ+ status and sex of record.

Impact of the Acceptor Group on the Properties of Triphenylamine-Donor-Acceptor Dyes: An Experimental and Computational Study.

Three triphenylamine-Indane donor-acceptor dyes with different functional groups on the acceptor were studied to investigate how substitution would affect the optical properties. The dyes studied were IndCN, containing two malononitrile groups; InO, with two ketone groups; and InOCN, which features mixed functional groups. A combination of Raman spectroscopy, UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed for characterization.

Colorado Immersion Training in Community Engagement: Ten years of learning and doing.

The Colorado Immersion Training in Community Engagement (CIT) program supports a change in the research trajectory of junior faculty, early career researchers, and doctoral students toward Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR). CIT is within the Community Engagement and Health Equity Core (CEHE) at the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CCTSI), an NIH-funded Clinical and Translational Science award. This Translational Science Case Study reports on CIT's impacts from 2010 to 2019.

Resolving Artifacts and Improving the Detection Limit in Circular Differential Scattering Measurement of Chiral and Achiral Gold Nanorods.

Circular differential scattering (CDS) spectroscopy has been developed as a powerful method for the characterization of the optical activity of individual plasmonic nanostructures and their complexes with chiral molecules. However, standard measurement setups often result in artifacts that have long raised concerns on the interpretation of spectral data. In fact, the detection limit of CDS setups is constrained by the high level of artifacts, to ±10%.
