Background: In 2020, loosened federal regulations allowed for buprenorphine for opioid use disorder to be initiated via telemedicine. In response to these regulatory changes and growing racial inequities in overdose in St. Louis, MO, a local, peer-led outreach program incorporated a new rapid access (RA) to buprenorphine program.

Article Synopsis
  • Increased mortality rates among older Black adults in rural southern areas are linked to chronic conditions and limited healthcare access due to social and structural issues.
  • The study examined the impacts of health perceptions, social functioning, and mental health on older Black adults in four rural Alabama towns, using surveys and linear regression analysis.
  • Results indicated that better social functioning and less depressive symptoms significantly improved general health scores, highlighting the necessity for tailored health resources and stronger social networks in these communities.

Hydrosilanes and Lewis bases are known to promote various reductive defunctionalizations, rearrangements, and silylation reactions, facilitated by enigmatic silicon/Lewis base-derived reactive intermediates. Despite the wide variety of transformations enabled by this reagent combination, no examples of intermolecular C(sp)-C(sp) forming reactions have been reported. In this work, we've identified 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDSO) and KOBu as a unique reagent combination capable of generating benzylic nucleophiles in situ from styrene derivatives, which can subsequently react with alkyl halides to give a new C(sp)-C(sp) linkage via formal hydroalkylation.

Objective: Following very preterm birth, some children require ongoing intensive care after the neonatal period and transition directly from neonatal units (NNUs) to paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) around term-corrected age.We aimed to understand, at a national level, characteristics and outcomes of children born very preterm who transitioned directly from NNUs to PICUs.

Design: Retrospective cohort study, using data linkage of National Neonatal Research Database, Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network and Office for National Statistics datasets.
