"Who Has the Relationship?": Caring for a Shared Population of Children with Medical Complexity.

Many academic pediatric centers care for children with medical complexity (CMC) through established complex care and palliative care programs. There are little prior data investigating best practices for collaboration between these two subspecialties in caring for CMC. The aim of this study is to explore the distinct and overlapping roles and responsibilities of pediatric complex care and palliative care teams as identified by providers when caring for a shared population of CMC and their families.

Characterizing the Relationships Amongst Psychological Safety, the Learning Environment, and Well-Being in Surgical Faculty and Trainees.

Objective: Learning environments affect the well-being of surgical faculty and trainees. Psychological safety (PS) has been linked with learning behaviors and aspects of well-being within medicine; however, given the unique challenges inherent to the surgical learning environment, there is a need to more closely examine these concepts for surgical faculty and trainees. The objective of this study is to examine the relationships between learning environment and PS, as well as PS and well-being with surgery.

Parallelization of particle-based reaction-diffusion simulations using MPI.

Particle-based reaction-diffusion models offer a high-resolution alternative to the continuum reaction-diffusion approach, capturing the discrete and volume-excluding nature of molecules undergoing stochastic dynamics. These methods are thus uniquely capable of simulating explicit self-assembly of particles into higher-order structures like filaments, spherical cages, or heterogeneous macromolecular complexes, which are ubiquitous across living systems and in materials design. The disadvantage of these high-resolution methods is their increased computational cost.

Lead (Pb) tolerance in the ectomycorrhizal fungi Suillus brevipes and S. tomentosus.

Lead (Pb) is a highly toxic metal and a contaminant of many soils across the world. Some fungi are known to be Pb tolerant, persisting in environments with high Pb levels. Here we investigate Pb tolerance in Suillus brevipes and S.

Understanding the financial barriers to treatment among individuals with opioid use disorder: a focus group study.

Introduction: Despite the established effectiveness and relatively widespread availability of Medications for Opioid Use Disorder, individuals seeking treatment frequently encounter various structural and social barriers, including costs of treatment. This study aimed to understand the financial barriers that affect treatment continuation in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD).

Methods: In this qualitative study, seven semi-structured in-depth focus group interviews were conducted among 28 participants in treatment for OUD.
