Mentoring for the Diverse Range of Family Physicians' Engagement in Research.

Primary care researchers are increasingly at the forefront of developing innovations and new research methods to address complex issues in health care, including multi-morbidity, social determinants of health, health equity, managing population health in clinical practice, patient satisfaction, and provider burnout. Research demonstrates that "primary care is the only health care component where an increased supply is associated with better population health and more equitable outcomes." As a primary care specialty, family medicine has evolved beyond its initial focus on clinical practice and education to realizing the imperative for the discipline to robustly engage in research and embrace the responsibility to generate the evidence that drives changes in primary care practice and policy.

Should gynecologists approach obesity? A survey analysis.

This study evaluated the prevalence of women attending gynecological consultations who wish to discuss weight issues, barriers preventing physicians from addressing obesity, and differences in perceptions between patients and physicians. A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2021 to June 2022 at the , including 404 female patients (median age: 47.5 years) and 140 gynecologists.

GaAs Solar Cells Grown Directly on V-Groove Si Substrates.

The direct epitaxial growth of high-quality III-V semiconductors on Si is a challenging materials science problem with a number of applications in optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and on-chip lasers. We report the reduction of dislocation density in GaAs solar cells grown directly on nanopatterned V-groove Si substrates by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. Starting from a template of GaP on V-groove Si, we achieved a low threading dislocation density (TDD) of 3 × 10 cm in the GaAs by performing thermal cycle annealing of the GaAs followed by growth of InGaAs dislocation filter layers.

Study design and the sampling of deleterious rare variants in biobank-scale datasets.

One key component of study design in population genetics is the "geographic breadth" of a sample (i.e., how broad a region across which individuals are sampled).
