There were 900 encounters at which patients were referred to A&E over the 5 year period. There was no difference between male and female referral rates (0.2 per 100 encounters). Children aged < 15 years were referred at the higher rate of 0.3 per 100 encounters; the lowest rate was among patients aged 65-74 years (0.1 per 100). Patients of non-English speaking backgrounds were seen at average rates at these encounters, but Commonwealth concession card holders were seen significantly more often (48.2 per 100 A&E referred encounters compared with an average of 41.9). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients were over represented at 3.3 per 100 compared with the BEACH average of 1.1. Patients new to the practice were seen at A&E encounters at twice the average rate (20.5 per 100 compared with 9.0 in total BEACH).

Thermoresponsive shape memory polymer (SMP) adhesives have demonstrated a high adhesion strength and large switching ratios on different substrates. However, a long response time to switch adhesion on or off is generally encountered. This study provides a fast adhesion switching method based on the temperature and rate dependence of adhesion within the glass-transition zone of an epoxy polymer.

Objectives: Describing cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) burden over time can inform clinical management and resource allocation. Using health care claims data, this observational study examined recent trends in the prevalence of cirrhosis and HE and associated health care resource utilization among commercially and Medicare-insured adults in the United States (US).
Methods: Data from the MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database and 100% Medicare Research Identifiable Files were analyzed (2007-2020).
Abasic sites are one of the most frequent forms of DNA damage that interfere with DNA replication. However, abasic sites exhibit complex effects because they can be processed into other types of DNA damage. Thus, it remains poorly understood how abasic sites affect replisome progression, which replication-coupled repair pathways they elicit, and whether this is affected by the template strand that is damaged.

A Gemini cationic surfactant was synthesized through an aldehyde-amine condensation reaction to address challenges related to bacterial corrosion and foaming during shale gas extraction. This treatment agent exhibits sterilization, corrosion mitigation, and foaming properties. The mechanism of action was characterized through tests measuring surface tension, particle size, sterilization efficacy, corrosion mitigation efficiency, and foaming behavior.
