The spin population difference between m(s) = 1/2 and - 1/2, (malpha - mbeta)(t) of the hydrogen atoms dissociated from the mercury hydride molecules is calculated as a function of time for the reaction of Hg* + H2 in a magnetic field. Starting from zero value, the population difference increases to a certain limit that is equal to the room temperature population difference. The H/D electron spin resonance (ESR) signal ratio obtained from the isotopic experiment, Hg* + H2/D2, is also explained by comparing the ratio of (malpha - mbeta)H(t) and (malpha - mbeta)D(t). The isotopic effect is interpreted to originate mostly from spin-rotation constant energies of mercury hydride molecules.

Effectiveness of Synchronous Postdischarge Contacts on Health Care Use and Patient Satisfaction : A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Ann Intern Med

January 2025

Center of Innovation to Accelerate Discovery and Practice Transformation, Durham Veterans Affairs Health Care System; Department of Population Health Sciences, Duke University School of Medicine; and Durham Evidence Synthesis Program, Durham Veterans Affairs Health Care System, Durham, North Carolina (J.M.G.).

Background: Postdischarge contacts (PDCs) after hospitalization are common practice, but their effectiveness in reducing use of acute care after discharge remains unclear.

Purpose: To assess the effects of PDC on 30-day emergency department (ED) visits, 30-day hospital readmissions, and patient satisfaction.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL searched from 2012 to 25 May 2023.

Background: The idea of making science more accessible to nonscientists has prompted health researchers to involve patients and the public more actively in their research. This sometimes involves writing a plain language summary (PLS), a short summary intended to make research findings accessible to nonspecialists. However, whether PLSs satisfy the basic requirements of accessible language is unclear.

Morbidities and comorbidities associated with optic nerve hypoplasia and septo-optic-pituitary dysplasia.

Dev Med Child Neurol

January 2025

Department of Community Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Aim: To quantify optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) and septo-optic-pituitary dysplasia (SOD) morbidities and comorbidities.

Method: A retrospective population-based study with a case-control design was undertaken using administrative health data from Manitoba, Canada. Cases were 124 patients with ONH or SOD (70 males, 54 females; age range 6 months-36 years 8 months [mean 13 years, SD 7 years 2 months]) diagnosed from 1990 to 2019, matched to 620 unrelated population-based controls (350 males, 270 females; age range 0-36 years 8 months [mean 12 years 5 months, SD 7 years 2 months]) on birth year, sex, and area of residence.

Introduction: Evidence-based practices (EBPs) use evidence (external and internal), clinician expertise, and client/caregiver perspectives to deliver effective, individualized care. Each component of EBP is highly relevant and most effective when implemented together. Families with cultural or linguistic backgrounds different from the mainstream experience inequitable treatment across all disciplines.

Epidemiological methods in transition: Minimizing biases in classical and digital approaches.

PLOS Digit Health

January 2025

Social Physics and Complexity (SPAC) Lab, LIP-Laboratory for Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics, Lisboa, Portugal.

Epidemiology and Public Health have increasingly relied on structured and unstructured data, collected inside and outside of typical health systems, to study, identify, and mitigate diseases at the population level. Focusing on infectious diseases, we review the state of Digital Epidemiology at the beginning of 2020 and how it changed after the COVID-19 pandemic, in both nature and breadth. We argue that Epidemiology's progressive use of data generated outside of clinical and public health systems creates several technical challenges, particularly in carrying specific biases that are almost impossible to correct for a priori.
