A major objective of the Mars 2020 mission is to sample rocks in Jezero crater that may preserve organic matter for later return to Earth. Using an ultraviolet Raman and luminescence spectrometer, the Perseverance rover detected luminescence signals with maximal intensities at 330 to 350 nanometers and 270 to 290 nanometers that were initially reported as consistent with organics. Here, we test the alternative hypothesis that the 330- to 350-nanometer and 270- to 290-nanometer luminescence signals trace Ce in phosphate and silicate defects, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are linked to issues like high nonadherence rates and sexual dysfunction, particularly among young adult men, but the exact relationship is not well understood.
  • A study surveyed 505 young men about their willingness to adhere to antidepressant treatment, revealing they preferred alternatives that spare sexual function, such as bupropion and mirtazapine, over SSRIs.
  • Findings suggest that sexual side effects significantly influence the likelihood of young men not sticking to their antidepressant regimen, highlighting the need for better treatment strategies that include options to minimize these side effects.

Background: Urinary drainage for posterior urethral valves can be achieved with valve ablation (VA) or diversion by vesicostomy (VES) or cutaneous ureterostomy (CU). The effect of these interventions on long-term bladder function remains debated, and voiding symptomatology after VES or CU reversal has been poorly characterized.

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence and scope of physician treatment patterns as a surrogate for retention or incontinence symptomatology among PUV patients undergoing primary VA or diversion by VES/CU and determine rates of progression to augmentation.

Objective: The purposes of this pilot study were to compare short-term outcomes of the Perception-Action Approach (P-AA) and standard care based on 5 components of first-choice interventions listed in the congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) clinical practice guideline. Changes in postural alignment, symmetrical use of both sides of the body during movement and play, gross motor development, and behavior observed during therapy were considered.

Methods: Thirty-two participants were enrolled in a 2-group (P-AA and standard care) randomized, single-blind trial with pre-posttest measures.
