Use of congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium as a clinical sign of familial adenomatous polyposis.

Purpose: To evaluate the presence of congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium in a large family affected by familial adenomatous polyposis and identify the causative mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli gene. Thus, we aimed to determine the significance of congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium as a phenotypic marker of the disease.

Methods: A family consisting of 95 individuals was evaluated.

Considerations for emergency department virtual triage.

Health leaders are increasingly interested in harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to remotely conduct virtual triage for Emergency Department (ED) patients. This study explores equity considerations and patient attitudes to virtual triage in a Canadian ED. A cross-sectional study surveyed 150 ED patients, with 32 additional patients interviewed in-depth.

Solution Processed Bilayer Metal Halide White Light Emitting Diodes.

Metal halide perovskites and perovskite-related organic metal halide hybrids (OMHHs) have recently emerged as a new class of luminescent materials for light emitting diodes (LEDs), owing to their unique and remarkable properties, including near-unity photoluminescence quantum efficiencies, highly tunable emission colors, and low temperature solution processing. While substantial progress has been made in developing monochromatic LEDs with electroluminescence across blue, green, red, and near-infrared regions, achieving highly efficient and stable white electroluminescence from a single LED remains a challenging and under-explored area. Here, a facile approach to generating white electroluminescence is reported by combining narrow sky-blue emission from metal halide perovskites and broadband orange/red emission from zero-dimensional (0D) OMHHs.

Healing the Whole: An International Review of the Collaborative Care Model between Primary Care and Psychiatry.

The collaborative care model (CCM) was created to improve the delivery of mental health care and is reported to improve access, enhance treatment outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs. To understand the impacts of the CCM on symptom management, diverse populations, and sustainability in healthcare systems, a systematic review was conducted. Several databases were searched for articles assessing the CCM.

Does prophylactic decompression of distal nerves following nerve repair improve functional recovery? A systematic review.

Background: Peripheral nerve injuries are burdensome on healthcare systems, individuals and society as a whole. The current standard of treatment for neurotmesis is primary neurorrhaphy or nerve grafting. However, several patients do not recover their full function.
