In this study, the authors measured and described the costs of coordinated specialty care (CSC) for first-episode psychosis in Ohio. A microcosting tool was used to estimate personnel and nonpersonnel costs of service delivery at seven CSC programs. Average annual cost per participant (N=511 participants) was estimated as $17,810 (95% CI=$9,141-$26,479). On average, 61% (95% CI=53%-69%) of annual program costs were nonbillable. Key cost drivers included facility costs, administrative tasks, and social services. Novel financing models may redress reimbursement gaps incurred by CSC programs.

Fluorine-rich poly(arylene amine) membranes for the separation of liquid aliphatic compounds.

Science

State Key Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry, MOE Key Laboratory of High-Performance Polymer Materials & Technology, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China.

We explored the potential for membrane materials to reduce energy and carbon requirements for the separation of aliphatic hydrocarbon feedstocks and products. We developed a series of fluorine-rich poly(arylene amine) polymer membranes that feature rigid polymer backbones with segregated perfluoroalkyl side chains. This combination imbues the polymers with resistance to dilation induced by hydrocarbon immersion without the loss of solution-based membrane fabrication techniques.

Background: The burden of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias is growing fast in Africa. The Recruitment and Retention for Alzheimer's Disease Diversity Genetic Cohorts in the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (READD-ADSP) has commenced recruitment of 5000 African participants (AD and cognitively unimpaired individuals) to generate genomic and biomarker data to better characterize AD genetic architecture in Africa. Participating countries, part of the African Dementia Consortium (AfDC) include Nigeria, Ghana, Benin, Cameroon, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Mozambique.

Older adults use the emergency department (ED) as an important source of acute medical care, making 20+ million visits annually. Persons living with dementia are twice as likely to use the ED and 1.5 times more likely to have an avoidable visit.

Background: This presentation maps the journey of an evidence-based dementia care program from effectiveness trial design to adoption by policymakers as an ongoing program available to eligible older adults living at home with dementia and their care partners. Care of People with Dementia in their Environments (COPE) is a non-pharmacologic program that seeks to maximize physical function and quality of life in people with dementia and build dementia management skills in care partners. Efficacy trial results showed that, compared to controls, people with dementia receiving COPE had greater functional independence in activities of daily living and care partners receiving COPE reported improved well-being and increased confidence using dementia management skills.

Buchwald-Hartwig (BH) aminations are crucial for synthesizing arylamine motifs in numerous bioactive molecules and fine chemicals. While homogeneous palladium complexes can be effective catalysts, their high costs and environmental impact motivate the search for alternative approaches. Heterogeneous palladium single-atom catalysts (SAC) offer promising recoverable alternatives in C-C cross-couplings.
