We describe a three-wave mixing experiment using time-separated microwave pulses to detect the enantiomer-specific emission signal of the chiral molecule using Fourier transform microwave (FTMW) spectroscopy. A chirped-pulse FTMW spectrometer operating in the 2-8 GHz frequency range is used to determine the heavy-atom substitution structure of solketal (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl-methanol) through analysis of the singly substituted (13)C and (18)O isotopologue rotational spectra in natural abundance. A second set of microwave horn antennas is added to the instrument design to permit three-wave mixing experiments where an enantiomer-specific phase of the signal is observed. Using samples of R-, S-, and racemic solketal, the properties of the three-wave mixing experiment are presented, including the measurement of the corresponding nutation curves to demonstrate the optimal pulse sequence.

Nonlinear, four-wave mixing vibrational spectroscopies are commonly used to probe electron-vibration coupling in isotropic media. Most of these methods rely on infrared and/or Raman transitions, but methods involving hyper-Raman transitions are also possible. Hyper difference frequency generation (HDFG) spectroscopy is an underdeveloped four-wave mixing vibrational spectroscopy based upon both infrared absorption and hyper-Raman scattering transitions.

Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that certain psychological factors, such as anticipatory pleasure and cognitive control, significantly impact the severity of Prescription Opioid-Use Disorder (POUD) in chronic pain patients on long-term opioid therapy.
- A study involving 67 patients revealed that the inability to experience pleasure, poor emotional regulation, and sleep quality were strong predictors of increased POUD severity over time.
- The findings suggest that targeting these psychological factors could help in identifying patients at risk and improving treatment strategies for those dealing with chronic pain and opioid use.
We report on the experimental observation of non-resonant, second-order optical sum-frequency generation (SFG) in five different atomic and molecular gases. The measured signal is attributed to a SFG process by characterizing its intensity scaling and its polarization behavior. We show that the electric quadrupole mechanism cannot explain the observed trends and suggest a mechanism based on symmetry breaking along the incident beam path arising from laser-induced species ground state number density gradients.

Background: Improving older people's health-promoting lifestyle (HPL) may slow the progression of health conditions and improve quality of life. Electronic health (eHealth) literacy is increasingly important for individuals managing health in the digital age. Previous cross-sectional studies have shown a positive association between eHealth literacy and HPL among older adults.

The DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for Prescription Opioid-Use Disorder (POUD) have undergone significant changes when using opioids medically supervised. However, there is a lack of research supporting these changes. This prospective study aimed to analyze the influence of tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and craving on the severity of POUD in chronic pain population on long-term opioid therapy.
