A method combinating piezoelectric-biochip technique with cell culture technique in vitro has been developed. Piezoelectric cell-based chip (PCC) can continously monitor the behaviors of living cells attached to or spreaded on surfaces. The method measures the resonant frequency (f), the dissipation energy (D) and impedance (Z), in real time. These multi parameters can inflect information of cells qualitively and quantitively. This paper covers principle, materials and methods, results and discussion of the new technique, simultaniously indicates its application and trends.

Background: Problem gambling and gambling disorder cause severe social, psychiatric, and financial consequences, and voluntary self-exclusion is a common harm reduction tool used by individuals with gambling problems.
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore users' experience of a novel nationwide, multioperator gambling self-exclusion service, "Spelpaus," in Sweden and to inform stakeholders and policy makers in order to improve harm reduction tools against gambling problems.
Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 15 individuals who reported self-perceived gambling problems and who had experience of having used the self-exclusion service Spelpaus in Sweden.

The present evaluation aimed to begin development of a survey tool for measuring workplace stressors specific to behavioral health providers in clinical settings for autism and related developmental disabilities: the Burnout Assessment for Developmental Disability Settings (BADDS). BADDS development was guided by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS; Cella et al., (Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 63(11), 1179-1194, 2010) procedures.

Iron-sulfur proteins perform a wide variety of reactions central to the metabolisms of all living organisms. Foundational to their reaction chemistry are the rich electronic structures of their constituent Fe-S clusters, which differ in important ways from the active sites of mononuclear Fe enzymes. In this perspective, we summarize the essential electronic structure features that make Fe-S clusters unique, and point to the need for studies aimed at understanding the electronic basis for their reactivity under physiological conditions.

Background: Young adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities lack access to mental health supports. Peer-delivered services may fill this gap. We adapted a theory-driven and evidence-based peer mentoring intervention for virtual-delivery and investigated its acceptability and participants' preliminary response.

Proximity to oil and gas (OG) wells is associated with health risks. Evidence on the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and OG well proximity is mixed. To investigate this question in Colorado, we combined OG location data with data on birthing people's race-ethnicity and Medicaid eligibility from the state's birth registry.
