Virtual discharge counseling: An assessment of scalability of a novel patient educational process across a multi-site urban emergency department.

Background: Inadequate counseling at patient discharge from the emergency department can lead to adverse patient outcomes. Virtual discharge counseling can address gaps in discharge counseling and improve patients' understanding of instructions.

Methods: A previously established virtual discharge counseling program was scaled across three emergency departments and expanded to 13 diagnoses.

Electrification and specialist training associated with decreased neonatal mortality and increased admissions in Sierra Leone.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the evolution of a regional neonatal service in Sierra Leone and changes in mortality and service use as it transitioned from a non-specialist service to a dedicated special care baby unit (SCBU).

Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. Anonymised data were taken from the ward admissions books at Bo Government Hospital, and trends in admissions and mortality within the neonatal service were examined for each stage of the department's evolution.

High-Temperature Raman Spectroscopy of UCl: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study.

Uranium trichloride (UCl) has received growing interest for its use in uranium-fueled molten salt reactors and in the pyrochemical processing of used fuel. In this paper, we report for the first time the experimentally determined Raman spectra of UCl, at both ambient condition and high temperatures up to 871 K. The frequencies of five of the Raman-active vibrational modes () of UCl exhibit a negative temperature derivative ((∂ν/∂)) with increasing temperature.
