A quasi-classical study in a quantum spirit of mode specificity of the H + HOD abstraction reaction.

Quantum benchmark calculations of the H + HOD abstraction reaction [B. Zhao , , 2018, , 17029-17037] provide an opportunity to test approximate methods, such as quasi-classical trajectories (QCTs) with Gaussian binning. However, the large mode-specific enhancements of this reaction lead to special challenges and unphysical QCT cross-section artifacts.

Rabies post-exposure prophylaxis in the emergency department: A monocentric retrospective observational study.

Background: Emergency departments (ED) are frequently visited after suspected rabies exposure (SRE) and the potential need for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (R-PEP). However, data on the number of visits, patients' demographics, travel history and the medical treatment is still rare. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the number of R-PEP and the appropriateness of medical management including wound treatment, vaccination regime and immunoglobulin application following SRE in a university hospital ED.

A summary of the main themes and findings presented at the ASM Intermountain Branch meeting (2024).

The annual meeting for the Intermountain Branch was held in April 2024 on the campus of Brigham Young University. There were 127 branch members from Utah, Idaho, and Nevada who attended the meeting and were composed of undergraduate students, graduate or medical students, and faculty. This report highlights the diversity of, and the emerging trends in, the research conducted by American Society for Microbiology members in the Intermountain Branch.
