Worcester Refugee Assistance Project: An Example of Strengths-Based, Community-Based, Culturally Sensitive Care.

Refugee populations are diverse and can present with a variety of unique and complex circumstances. The purpose of this article is to examine an organization that provides care to refugee youth, the ways in which this is accomplished, and a few of the challenges that have been faced. Specifically, the work of this organization will be examined using a Systems of Care philosophy to demonstrate how using these concepts can assist in providing sensitive, high-quality care.

Structural and Adsorption Properties of ZIF-8-7 Hybrid Materials Synthesized by Acid Gas-Assisted and Routes.

The tuning of micropore environments in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) by mixed-linker synthesis has the potential for enabling new molecular separation properties. However, synthesis of mixed-linker (hybrid) ZIFs is often challenging due to the disparate chemical properties of the different linkers. Here, we elucidate the structure and properties of an unconventional ZIF-8-7 hybrid material synthesized via a controlled-acid-gas-assisted degradation and reconstruction (solvent-assisted crystal redemption, SACRed) strategy.

[Opportunity to develop pharmaceutical care for female infertility in community pharmacy: Results from a survey on patients' perceptions and expectations].

Unlabelled: Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant after one year or longer of unprotected sex. The infertility rate is increasing in France and pharmaceutical care should adapt to this issue. The objective of this study was to assess how women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) perceived ART-related pharmaceutical care in community pharmacies and to suggest ways of improving the service.

Pleural and mediastinal effusions after the extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection: Risk factors and impact on outcome.

Background: This study investigated the volume and duration of pleural and mediastinal effusions following extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection, as well as preoperative risk factors and their impact on outcome.

Materials And Methods: A total of 210 patients who underwent extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection at our center between 2012 and 2020 were included in this study. Postoperative daily amount of pleural and mediastinal drainage were collected and factors influencing duration and amount of effusions were analyzed.
