Article Synopsis
  • Low-dimensional quantum systems can support unique particles called anyons that behave differently from traditional particles like bosons and fermions, particularly in one dimension.
  • This study successfully creates Abelian anyons using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice and investigates their behavior, including quantum walks and a specific interference effect known as the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect.
  • When interactions among the anyons are introduced, they exhibit different transport dynamics compared to bosons and fermions, paving the way for future research into complex behaviors of one-dimensional anyons.

Objective: To evaluate the published literature on the efficacy of amniotic membrane grafting (AMG) in the management of acute chemical and thermal ocular surface burns with respect to the rate of corneal re-epithelialization and improvement of visual acuity or corneal clarity.

Methods: Literature searches were conducted in the PubMed database in May 2023 and updated in January 2024 and were limited to the English language without date restrictions. The searches yielded 474 citations; 58 were reviewed in full text, and 9 met the inclusion criteria.

Article Synopsis
  • Children in foster care face increased behavior problems due to trauma and social changes, which can lead to placement disruptions if not addressed properly.
  • This study tests the effectiveness of the Chicago Parent Program adapted for foster caregivers (CPP-FC), aimed at improving caregiver stress, parenting skills, child behaviors, and placement stability.
  • 300 caregivers will be involved, with half receiving the CPP-FC intervention and the other half receiving usual care, and various assessments will be conducted to measure the program's impact on behaviors and placements over time.*

Children in foster care have complexity around medical decision-making because of their unique custody status. When medical decision-making is necessary for a child in foster care, what perspectives are important? What if opinions are not aligned? Who makes the final decision for consent? This Ethics Rounds focuses on a young child in foster care who has had repeated ear infections. Foster caregivers and family of origin are not in agreement on the treatment plan.
