Predictors of Opioid Prescription Refill After Lung Cancer Resection.

Introduction: Thoracic surgery patients are among the least likely to be on opioids before surgery but have the highest rate of new persistent opioid use after surgery compared to other surgical cohorts. Nearly 27% of opioid-naïve lung cancer resection patients become new persistent opioid users. We aimed to identify risk factors for postdischarge opioid prescription refill within 90 ds of surgery for lung cancer resection patients.

Islet Autoantibody Screening Throughout Australia Using In-Home Blood Spot Sampling: 2-Year Outcomes of Type1Screen.

Objective: Type1Screen offers islet autoantibody testing to Australians with a family history of type 1 diabetes (T1D) with the dual aims of preventing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and enabling use of disease-modifying therapy. We describe screening and monitoring outcomes 2 years after implementing in-home capillary blood spot sampling.

Research Design And Methods: Data from 2,064 participants who registered between July 2022 and June 2024 were analyzed: 1,507 and 557 chose blood spot and venipuncture screening respectively.

Skin cancer knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and prevention practices among beachgoers: a narrative review.

People who spend time at the beach at increased risk for ultraviolet light (UV) exposure. This review assessed skin cancer-related knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and prevention practices among beachgoers and sunbathers at the beach. Relevant articles were search in the following electronic databases: PubMed (Medline), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), ERIC, and PsycINFO.

Hierarchical Porous Aggregate-Enabled Chromatography-Inspired Single-Sensor E-Nose for Volatile Monitoring.

Monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is crucial for ensuring safety and health. In this study, we introduce a strategy to engineer a chromatography-inspired single-sensor (CISS) e-nose tailored for VOC monitoring. This approach overcomes the limitations of traditional methodologies and conventional e-noses.

Micelle-enabled bromination of α-oxo ketene dithioacetals: mild and scalable approach enzymatic catalysis.

The bromination of α-oxo ketene dithioacetals using KBr/HO, catalyzed by vanadium chloroperoxidase (VCPO), has been successfully demonstrated. A comparative study of enzymatic processes "on water" "in water", using 2 wt% of the surfactant TPGS-750-M revealed that the in-water protocol not only provides higher yields but also accommodates a broader substrate scope. This bromination method in an aqueous micellar medium enabled the preparation of brominated α-oxo ketene dithioacetals in fair to excellent yields (23 examples).
