Background: Caregivers face challenges (including competing desires to prevent injury, respect autonomy, and avoid conflict) when addressing firearm access by community-dwelling persons with Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD).
Objective: To test the effect of the online Safety in Dementia (SiD) decision aid on caregivers' decision making about firearm access for people with ADRD.
Design: Prospective 2-group randomized trial with longitudinal follow-up.
Background: Most people with dementia (PWD) in the United States live in community settings supported by family and/or unpaid care partners. Firearms access is one of many decisions care partners navigate alongside PWD in efforts to prevent injuries and deaths. Conversations about firearms access are socially challenging, although specific challenges to be overcome have not been described.

- Two-photon microscopy (2PM) is a key technique in biology for examining intact tissues, but imaging depth is usually restricted to 600-800 μm due to scattering in adult mammalian tissues like mouse brains.
- * Researchers aimed to enhance imaging depth by utilizing shortwave near-infrared (SWIR) light, which has faced challenges due to the lack of suitable detectors and probes.
- * This study introduces a new array of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) that, combined with specific fluorescent dyes, enables imaging depths greater than 1.1 mm in mouse brains, representing a significant advancement in deep tissue imaging technology.
Clinical and pathological factors are insufficient to accurately identify patients at risk of early recurrence after curative-intent treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). This study aimed to identify candidate prognostic proteogenomic biomarkers for early intrahepatic recurrence after curative-intent resection of CRLM. Patients diagnosed with intrahepatic recurrence within 6 months of liver resection were categorized as the "early recurrence" group, while those who achieved a recurrence-free status for 10 years were designated as "durable remission".

The overall objective of this study was to assess the quality of WH curricula at primary care residency programs in the United States (US), with a focus on topics in obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN).
