Introduction: The cover letter is a critical component of medical journal submissions, often influencing acceptance decisions. However, authors frequently underestimate its importance. This narrative review aimed to provide guidance for authors on writing effective and succinct cover letters.
Methods: We conducted a narrative review of literature on the recommended structure and content for drafting a cover letter.
Results: An effective and succinct cover letter should include the names of the editor in chief and journal, submission details, ethical statements, authors' agreement, and contact information. Additional elements such as declarations of conflicts of interest, funding sources, and permissions may also be necessary. The cover letter should emphasize the manuscript's uniqueness without merely duplicating the abstract.
Conclusion: Cover letters remain pivotal for manuscript acceptance and must adhere to specific guidelines.

Fano Resonance in Epsilon-Near-Zero Media.
Phys Rev Lett
December 2024
Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China.
Fano resonance is achieved by tuning two coupled oscillators and has exceptional potential for modulating light dispersion. Here, distinct from the classical Fano resonances achieved through photonics methodologies, we introduce the Fano resonance in epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) media with novel electromagnetic properties. By adjusting the background permeability of the ENZ host, the transmission spectrum exhibits various dispersive line shapes and covers the full range of Fano parameter q morphologies, from negative to positive infinity.

Context: Dopamine -monooxygenase (D M) is an essential enzyme in the organism that regioselectively converts dopamine into R-norepinephrine, the key step of the reaction, studied in this paper, is a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from dopamine to a superoxo complex on D M, forming a hydroperoxo intermediate and dopamine radical. It was found that the formation of a hydrogen bond between dopamine and the D M catalyst strengthens the substrate-enzyme interaction and facilitates the HAT which takes place selectively to give the desired enantiomeric form of the product. Six reactions leading to the hydroperoxo intermediate were analyzed in detail using theoretical and computational tools in order to identify the most probable reaction mechanism.

Background: Improved medication adherence, represented as an increase in the proportion of days covered (PDC), to chronic medications is associated with better patient outcomes, yet effective strategies to improve adherence are often resource intensive. To quantify the impact of a pharmacist-supported electronic outreach initiative on medication adherence measures and to qualitatively evaluate patient engagement with and response to electronic messaging.
Methods: This retrospective cohort evaluation used mixed methods to assess the impact of a population health quality improvement program to address medication adherence for Medicare Advantage enrollees.
