Objective: This study reports the extent to which states have adopted the national culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) standards.

Methods: Officials from public mental health agencies in the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico were contacted between January and June 2016 to obtain information about adoption of CLAS standards in current policies. Each policy was coded through thematic analysis to determine its correspondence with any of the 14 national CLAS standards, which are grouped into three domains.

Results: Officials from 47 states and territories (90%) responded. Eight states (17%) reported adopting all national CLAS standards. Ten (23%) had adopted no CLAS policies, five (12%) had adopted policies under one domain, three (7%) under two domains, and 25 (58%) under all three domains.

Conclusions: Most states do not have policies that meet all CLAS standards, raising questions about how CLAS standards should be adopted.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders are early-onset mental disorders characterized by selective attention and strong emotional reactions. Attentional bias has been proposed to play a role in the development, onset, and maintenance of the disorders, but few studies have included youth with mental disorders, and no study has included more than one clinical group, making it unclear whether biased attention is disorder-specific or transdiagnostic in nature. In the present study, 65 youths with OCD (M = 13.

Background: Increasing prioritization of quality primary health care (PHC) includes community engagement as a key element to improve PHC performance. We assessed the correlation of good regional management practices with PHC performance in Peru in community-comanaged PHC that is designed with multiple accountability mechanisms.

Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of a survey of Dirección Regional de Salud (regional health directorates, DIRESAs) regarding their management of public PHC services with collaborative community involvement by a Comunidad Local de Administración de Salud (Local Community for Health Administration, CLAS).

Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) is known as the cancer of citrus, where Liberibacter asiaticus (Las) is the most prevalent strain causing HLB. In this study, we report a novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for the highly sensitive detection of the Las outer membrane protein (Omp) gene by coupling rolling circle amplification (RCA) with a CRISPR/Cas12a-responsive smart DNA hydrogel. In the presence of the target, a large number of amplicons are generated through RCA.

Article Synopsis
  • The 5th edition of the WHO classification of thyroid tumors reflects significant updates, particularly in molecular biology, influencing how traditional conditions are categorized and named.
  • Terms have been modernized, such as referring to Hürthle cells as oncocytes, and new subtypes for follicular adenoma and non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like features (NIFTP) have emerged.
  • A multidisciplinary treatment approach has led to the introduction of grading systems for various thyroid carcinomas, along with new classifications for rare tumors, including salivary gland-type carcinomas.
