Development and validation of the infant nursing assessment scale: Results from exploratory factor analysis and Rasch modeling.

Purpose: The primary challenge in infant care is developing a comprehensive, rapid, and reliable assessment tool that is minimally dependent on subjective evaluations and applicable in various inpatient settings. This study aims to develop and assess the structural validity of the Infant Nursing Assessment Scale (INA), enabling a comprehensive evaluation of hospitalized newborns and infants.

Design And Methods: A development and validation study based on cross-sectional design was undertaken.

Long-term efficacy and reduced side-effects of buprenorphine in patients with moderate and severe chronic pain.

Background: Chronic pain significantly impacts quality of life and poses substantial public health challenges. Buprenorphine, a synthetic analog of thebaine, is recognized for its potential in managing moderate to severe chronic pain with fewer side effects and a lower incidence of tolerance compared to traditional opioids.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of buprenorphine transdermal patches in patients with moderate and severe chronic pain, with a focus on pain relief sustainability and tolerance development.

Nonsolvating Fluoroaromatic Cosolvent Enabled Long-Term Cycling of High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Batteries with Organosulfur Electrolytes.

The structure-activity relationships of nonsolvating cosolvents for organosulfur-based electrolyte systems were revealed. The performance of nonsolvating dilutant fluorobenzene (FB) was compared to various fluorinated ether dilutants in high-voltage electrolytes containing a concentration of 1.2 M LiPF dissolved in fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), ethyl methyl sulfone (EMS), and the dilutant.

Cycling of block copolymer composites with lithium-conducting ceramic nanoparticles.

Solid polymer and perovskite-type ceramic electrolytes have both shown promise in advancing solid-state lithium metal batteries. Despite their favorable interfacial stability against lithium metal, polymer electrolytes face issues due to their low ionic conductivity and poor mechanical strength. Highly conductive and mechanically robust ceramics, on the other hand, cannot physically remain in contact with redox-active particles that expand and contract during charge-discharge cycles unless excessive pressures are used.
