Background And Objectives: The utilization of telemedicine has increased dramatically since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this review, we examined studies published within the past five years that investigated the impact of telemedicine on patient satisfaction.
Methods: Four investigators utilized PubMed and Google Scholar to find studies published within the past five years that assessed patient satisfaction with telemedicine in the field of adult primary care, using either the Press Ganey or CAHPS surveys.
Objectives: To provide a comprehensive summary of the published data on cause of death in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Data Sources: PubMed (January 2015 to April 2024), bibliographies of relevant articles, and ARDS Network and Prevention & Early Treatment of Acute Lung Injury (PETAL) network websites.
Study Selection: Observational studies and clinical trials that reported on cause of death in greater than or equal to 30 patients with ARDS, not obtained from death certificates.
Ab initio atomistic thermodynamics (AIAT) has become an indispensable tool to estimate Gibbs free energy changes for solid surfaces interacting with gaseous species relative to pressure () and temperature (). For such systems, AIAT assumes that solid vibrational contributions to Gibbs free energy differences cancel out. However, the validity of this assumption is unclear for nanoscale systems.

Product mass distributions indicate cluster size-dependent dissociative water adsorption. To probe the structure and vibrational spectra of the resulting Si O H ( = 2-4) clusters, we employed infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations.
