Vinylsulfur pentafluoride (VSPF), a molecule with a four-fold internal rotor, -SF, has been studied with high resolution Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. We believe that this is the first report of resolved four-fold internal rotation. As such, we have presented the tools needed to understand and analyze such a problem. These include debugging the ERHAM computer program necessary to fit the spectra and the free rotor to high barrier correlation diagram necessary to understand the torsional states of the four-fold rotor. The , , and torsional state rotational transitions are well resolved and assigned. Spectroscopic transitions of four isotopologues of VSPF, HC=CH-SF, the normal isotopologue, and the singly substituted S and C isotopologues were measured and assigned. Contrary to expectation, the torsional state could not be fit with only a semi-rigid Hamiltonian. The barrier to internal rotation, , is found to be 227 cm. calculations at the MP2 aug-cc-pVQZ level of theory and basis set were performed and the results of this calculation are compared to our experimental results.

His wrist could move passively with 50° flexion, 0° extension, and 70° radial deviation. The other 4 fingers were intact, 4-5 metatarsal bones were in synostosis, and the fifth finger was clinodactyly.

"The Environment Fostered True Growth": Harnessing Coaching on an Innovative Medicine Sub-internship.

J Gen Intern Med

January 2025

Department of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine, Section of Hospital Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, New York, NY, USA.

Background: Medicine sub-internships aim to prepare students for residency. However, the traditional sub-internship structure, with multiple learners at varied levels, poses obstacles to providing the clinical exposure, learning environment, and direct observation and feedback necessary to develop essential skills.

Aim: Investigate the educational experience of learners on a coaching-centered sub-internship (CCSI) on a resident uncovered ward service.

Background: In 2018, a nationwide survey carried out in 387 acute care hospitals from 16 out of 21 Italian regions, allowed defining an extended checklist for the participatory evaluation of person-centredness in hospital care. We aimed to validate a reduced set of core items for continuous use across the country.

Methods: Factor analysis was used to validate the construct of the checklist.

Background: Among rugby players, anterior shoulder dislocation is challenging to treat during the in-season period. It often leads to recurrent shoulder instability and requires prolonged rest post-surgery. No studies have determined the effectiveness of immobilization, early muscle strength training, or both in preventing reinjury in this population.

Objective: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive technique used for lung imaging. A significant challenge in EIT is reconstructing images of deeper thoracic regions due to the low sensitivity of boundary voltages to internal conductivity variations. The current injection pattern is decisive as it influences the current path, boundary voltages, and their sensitivity to tissue changes.
