Although research has quantitatively evaluated the impacts of stigma on working women with disabilities (WWD), nuanced, qualitative accounts voiced by these women are rare. To address this literature gap, we conducted seven focus groups with forty-two WWD. We asked: "What are women's experiences of disability disclosure and accommodation in the workplace?" Findings reveal that WWD face intentional and unintentional structural discrimination and must weigh the pros and cons of disclosure and navigate devaluation threats in pursuing workplace accommodations. "Going the extra mile" emerged as a stigma management technique that was prevalent among women of higher social capital.

Background: As part of the Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative in South Africa, the Bukhali health promotion intervention is being implemented by community health workers (CHW's) with young women in urban Soweto. The perspectives of these CHW's have not been fully explored.
Methods: A qualitative study was conducted to describe CHW's perspectives and experiences of delivering the Bukhali intervention.
Long-term evaluation of Elmelegy's technique of local muscle transposition for the functional restoration of large upper or lower lip defects.
Maxillofac Plast Reconstr Surg

Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.
Background: Although more than 200 techniques have been reported for the reconstruction of the upper and lower lip defects since 1000 BC, none of them is ideal. Local flaps may result in extra skin incisions and in some cases, the surgeon may be confronted with the lack of sufficient tissues for the reconstruction of large defects. Several techniques have been described for near-total lip reconstruction.

Nano Lett

School of Materials Science and Engineering, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China.
Going beyond the conventional design paradigm with atoms as building blocks, we propose the concept of cluster-assembled thermal rectifiers comprising metal chalcogenide supertetrahedral clusters. Different from the experimentally reported T and T, for the first time we assemble T-SnInSe clusters into a stable T framework without needing extra ions, based on which the thermal rectification (TR) effect is explored using machine-learning molecular dynamics and the mode-resolved phonon Boltzmann transport equation. The tetrahedron-shaped cluster assembly serves as a novel TR switch, where the open state shows an outstanding TR efficiency (∼40%) arising from the asymmetric lateral confinement due to not only the phonon particle behavior but also the phonon wave nature.
