The nitrosamine adsorbed on close-ended and open-ended pristine and Stone-Wales defective (5,5) armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was studied using the B3LYP/6-31G(d) method. Structure optimization of all possible adsorption configurations based on the combination of two nitrosamine (amino- and imino-) isomers and four types of nanotubes was carried out. The most stable configuration for the nitrosamine adsorbed on the (5,5) armchair SWCNTs was found to be dissociative chemisorption. The adsorption energies of the most stable structures of the adsorption complexes of close-ended and open-ended pristine SWCNTs with the imino isomer of nitrosamine were -127.15 and -137.14 kcal mol(-1), respectively.

Background Self-medication is commonly practiced, especially among medical students, administrative staff, and faculty from preclinical and paraclinical departments, driven by accessibility, familiarity with medications, and perceived convenience. This study explored the incidence, patterns, and factors influencing self-medication within the Xavier University School of Medicine, Aruba, with a primary focus on medical students and administrative staff. The faculty included in the study were from preclinical and paraclinical departments such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, forensic medicine, microbiology, and community medicine.

Intimate relationships frequently come to an end, and in the current research, we have endeavored to examine how individuals would potentially react in the scenario where their intimate partner decides to terminate a relationship they wish to continue. More specifically, employing open-ended questionnaires on a sample of 219 Greek-speaking participants, we identified 79 possible reactions. Subsequently, using close-ended questionnaires on a sample of 442 Greek-speaking participants, we categorized these reactions into 13 broad factors.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly influential in ophthalmology, particularly through advancements in machine learning, deep learning, robotics, neural networks, and natural language processing (NLP). Among these, NLP-based chatbots are the most readily accessible and are driven by AI-based large language models (LLMs). These chatbots have facilitated new research avenues and have gained traction in both clinical and surgical applications in ophthalmology.

Article Synopsis
- Vaccinations are vital for pediatric care, especially for children with cancer, as they help prevent infections and improve survival rates, yet the situation in Latin America and the Caribbean is under-researched.
- A survey of healthcare providers caring for children with cancer across 20 countries revealed that a significant majority recommend vaccinations, but many struggle with consistent guideline adherence.
- While providers generally support vaccinating these children, particularly against influenza, variability in their recommendations points to the need for improved strategies and support at institutional and governmental levels to enhance vaccination coverage.

The connection between bullying others and depression is clear. Less clear are the communicative paths through which being a bully leads to depression. Cyberbullying consists of communicative episodes that transcend modes of communication, contexts, and relationships wherein a social network of communicators pursues a subordinate goal of harming other(s) mentally, emotionally, and/or physically to achieve a hierarchically represented set of superordinate goals.
