Perovskites at the crossover between ferroelectric and relaxor are often used to realize dielectric capacitors with high energy and power density and simultaneously good efficiency. Lead-free BiNaTiO is gaining importance in showing an alternative to lead-based devices. Here we show that ()BiNaTiO - BaZr Ti O (best: 0.

Background: Our primary objective evaluated the perception of emergency medical service (EMS) providers' review of automated hospital outcome data. Secondarily, we assessed participation in outcome review as a means of microlearning to obtain continuing education (CE).

Methods: From October-December 2023, three high-volume EMS systems participated in a three-part intervention with results evaluated using a mixed-methods approach.

Article Synopsis
  • Migrants and refugees often struggle with mental health issues but have limited access to proper services, prompting this study to explore ways to deliver psychological support in Colombia using a group intervention called gPM+.
  • The study compared two training methods for nonspecialists delivering gPM+: one receiving support from a psychologist and the other from a trained nonspecialist, enrolling 128 distressed adult women in the process.
  • Results showed higher attendance in the psychologist-supported group, but the trained nonspecialist group was more cost-effective and maintained fidelity in delivering the program, highlighting the potential for using community-based methods for mental health interventions.

Background: Clinical outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) treated with catheter ablation (CA) vs antiarrhythmic therapy (AAT) are not well known.

Objective: This study compared morbidity and mortality of patients with AF and HFpEF treated with CA vs AAT.

Methods: AF and HFpEF patients from January 2017 to June 2023 were identified in TriNetX, a large global population-based database.

DNA origami nanostructures (DOs) are promising tools for applications including drug delivery, biosensing, detecting biomolecules, and probing chromatin substructures. Targeting these nanodevices to mammalian cell nuclei could provide impactful approaches for probing, visualizing, and controlling biomolecular processes within live cells. We present an approach to deliver DOs into live-cell nuclei.
