ImportanceSafety-net hospitals (SNHs) are ideal sites to deliver addiction treatment to patients with substance use disorders (SUDs), but the availability of these services within SNHs nationwide remains unknown.ObjectiveTo examine differences in the delivery of different SUD programs in SNHs vs non-SNHs across the US and to determine whether these differences are increased in certain types of SNHs depending on ownership.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional analysis used data from the 2021 American Hospital Association Annual Survey of Hospitals to examine the associations of safety-net status and ownership with the availability of SUD services at acute care hospitals in the US. Data analysis was performed from January to March 2022.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThis study used 2 survey questions from the American Hospital Association survey to determine the delivery of 5 hospital-based SUD services: screening, consultation, inpatient treatment services, outpatient treatment services, and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD).ResultsA total of 2846 hospitals were included: 409 were SNHs and 2437 were non-SNHs. The lowest proportion of hospitals reported offering inpatient treatment services (791 hospitals [27%]), followed by MOUD (1055 hospitals [37%]), and outpatient treatment services (1087 hospitals [38%]). The majority of hospitals reported offering consultation (1704 hospitals [60%]) and screening (2240 hospitals [79%]). In multivariable models, SNHs were significantly less likely to offer SUD services across all 5 categories of services (screening odds ratio [OR], 0.62 [95% CI, 0.48-0.76]; consultation OR, 0.62 [95% CI, 0.47-0.83]; inpatient services OR, 0.73 [95% CI, 0.55-0.97]; outpatient services OR, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.59-0.99]; MOUD OR, 0.6 [95% CI, 0.46-0.78]). With the exception of MOUD, public or for-profit SNHs did not differ significantly from their non-SNH counterparts. However, nonprofit SNHs were significantly less likely to offer all 5 SUD services compared with their non-SNH counterparts (screening OR, 0.52 [95% CI, 0.41-0.66]; consultation OR, 0.56 [95% CI, 0.44-0.73]; inpatient services OR, 0.45 [95% CI, 0.33-0.61]; outpatient services OR, 0.58 [95% CI, 0.44-0.76]; MOUD OR, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.46-0.79]).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cross-sectional study of SNHs and non-SNHs, SNHs had significantly lower odds of offering the full range of SUD services. These findings add to a growing body of research suggesting that SNHs may face additional barriers to offering SUD programs. Further research is needed to understand these barriers and to identify strategies that support the adoption of evidence-based SUD programs in SNH settings.

Bayesian Synthetic Likelihood

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Bayesian statistics is concerned with conducting posterior inference for the unknown quantities in a given statistical model. Conventional Bayesian inference requires the specification of a probabilistic model for the observed data, and the construction of the resulting likelihood function. However, sometimes the model is so complicated that evaluation of the likelihood is infeasible, which renders exact Bayesian inference impossible. Bayesian synthetic likelihood (BSL) is a posterior approximation procedure that can be used to conduct inference in situations where the likelihood is intractable, but where simulation from the model is straightforward. In this article, we give a high‐level presentation of BSL, and its extensions aimed at delivering scalable and robust posterior inferences.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe large‐scale preparation of sustainable room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials, particularly those with stimulus‐response properties, is attractive but remains challenging. This study develops a facile heterogeneous B─O covalent bonding strategy to anchor arylboronic acid chromophores to cellulose chains using pure water as a solvent, resulting in multicolor RTP cellulose. The rigid environment provided by the B─O covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds promotes the triplet population and suppresses quenching, leading to an excellent lifetime of 1.42 s for the target RTP cellulose. By increasing the degree of chromophore conjugation, the afterglow colors can be tuned from blue to green and then to red. Motivated by this finding, a papermaking production line is built to convert paper pulp reacted with an arylboronic acid additive into multicolor RTP paper on a large scale. Furthermore, the RTP paper is sensitive to water because of the destruction of hydrogen bonds, and the stimuli‐response can be repeated in response to water/heat stimuli. The RTP paper can be folded into 3D afterglow origami handicrafts and anti‐counterfeiting packing boxes or used for stimulus‐responsive information encryption. This success paves the way for the development of large‐scale, eco‐friendly, and practical stimuli‐responsive RTP materials.

AbstractThe endometrial lining of the uterus is essential for women's reproductive health and consists of several different types of epithelial and stromal cells. Although models such as gland‐like structures (GLSs) and endometrial assembloids (EnAos) are successfully established, they lack an intact luminal epithelium, which makes it difficult to recapitulate endometrial receptivity. Here, a novel EnAo model (ALI‐EnAo) is developed by combining endometrial epithelial cells (EnECs) and stromal cells (EnSCs) and using an improved matrix and air–liquid interface (ALI) culture method. ALI‐EnAos exhibit intact EnSCs and glandular and luminal epithelia, which recapitulates human endometrium anatomy, cell composition, hormone‐induced menstrual cycle changes, gene expression profiles, and dynamic ciliogenesis. The model suggests that EnSCs, together with the extracellular matrix and ALI culture conditions, contribute to EnAo phenotypes and characteristics reflective of the endometrial menstrual cycle. This enables to transcriptionally define endometrial cell subpopulations. It anticipates that ALI‐EnAos will facilitate studies on embryo implantation, and endometrial growth, differentiation, and disease.

Published: August 2023

AbstractLimited by preparation time and ligand solubility, synthetic protocols for cyclodextrin‐based metal‐organic framework (CD‐MOF), as well as subsequent derived materials with improved stability and properties, still remains a challenge. Herein, an ultrafast, environmentally friendly, and cost‐effective microwave method is proposed, which is induced by graphene oxide (GO) to design CD‐MOF/GOs. This applicable technique can control the crystal size of CD‐MOFs from macro‐ to nanocrystals. CD‐MOF/GOs are investigated as a new type of supramolecular adsorbent. It can selectively adsorb the dye molecule methylene green (MG) owing to the synergistic effect between the hydrophobic nanocavity of CDs, and the abundant O‐containing functional groups of GO in the composites. Following high temperature calcination, the resulting N, S co‐doped porous carbons derived from CD‐MOF/GOs exhibit a high capacitance of 501 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1, as well as stable cycling stability with 90.1% capacity retention after 5000 cycles. The porous carbon exhibits good electrochemical performance due to its porous surface containing numerous electrochemically active sites after dye adsorption and carbonization. The design strategy by supramolecular incorporating a variety of active molecules into CD‐MOFs optimizes the properties of their derived materials, furthering development toward the fabrication of zeitgeisty and high‐performance energy storage devices.
Consumer preferences for worker and supply chain risk mitigation in the beef supply chain in response to COVID‐19 pandemic

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic strained the beef supply chain through plant closures and labor shortages. The pandemic highlighted worker safety inadequacies as well as system vulnerabilities to supply chain disruptions. One result has been political and media scrutinization of beef processing concentration as a culprit for these disruptions. Breaking plants up into smaller, more geographically dispersed processing could help mitigate risk from large plant closures but would likely result in higher retail prices because of lost scale economies. Additionally, improving worker safety likely means slower processing even in larger plants, again likely raising retail prices. We use a choice‐based conjoint analysis to examine to whether and to what extent consumers would be willing to pay higher prices to support smaller plant sizes and improved worker safety, among other beef characteristics. Findings of the study suggest that consumers do not care, at least directly, about plant size but are willing to pay to reduce food miles for processed beef (indirectly implying more geographic dispersion). Consumers are also WTP to improve worker safety. Results also show positive willingness to pay for characteristics such as “grass‐fed” which is consistent with other studies.

Authors: Kwon Suyoung , Lee Soo Jeong 
Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundIdentifying and addressing work‐related health problems early is crucial, but workers often perceive barriers in reporting these to management. This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with nurses' reporting of work‐related low back pain to their managers and explored the reasons why nurses with patient handling injuries did not report them.MethodsThis study is a concurrent mixed‐method analysis of data from two statewide cross‐sectional surveys of California registered nurses conducted in 2013 and 2016. The reporting of work‐related low back pain to management (n = 288) was examined for associations with individual, occupational, and organizational factors. For qualitative analysis, the reasons for not reporting patient handling injuries were explored using open‐ended responses (n = 42).ResultsReporting was associated with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) men (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07−1.59) compared to non‐Hispanic White women; being a non‐US educated nurse (AOR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.80−1.01); experiencing greater low back pain (AOR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.02−1.12); missing work (AOR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.21−2.62); perceiving high physical workload (AOR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.81−0.98); perceiving high people‐oriented culture (AOR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.04−1.25); and perceiving high ergonomic practices (AOR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.81−0.98). Identified themes on the reasons for not reporting injuries included organizational‐culture attitudes toward work‐related injuries and injury characteristics of musculoskeletal disorders.ConclusionsThe findings indicate a need for management to remove structural barriers and improve organizational practices, and for a culture that promotes trust and open communication between workers and management.

ObjectiveThis study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that early vigabatrin treatment in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) infants improves neurocognitive outcome at 24 months of age.MethodsA phase IIb multicenter randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled trial was conducted of vigabatrin at first epileptiform electroencephalogram (EEG) versus vigabatrin at seizure onset in infants with TSC. Primary outcome was Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley‐III) cognitive assessment score at 24 months. Secondary outcomes were prevalence of drug‐resistant epilepsy, additional developmental outcomes, and safety of vigabatrin.ResultsOf 84 infants enrolled, 12 were screen failures, 4 went straight to open label vigabatrin, and 12 were not randomized (normal EEG throughout). Fifty‐six were randomized to early vigabatrin (n = 29) or placebo (n = 27). Nineteen of 27 in the placebo arm transitioned to open label vigabatrin, with a median delay of 44 days after randomization. Bayley‐III cognitive composite scores at 24 months were similar for participants randomized to vigabatrin or placebo. Additionally, no significant differences were found between groups in overall epilepsy incidence and drug‐resistant epilepsy at 24 months, time to first seizure after randomization, and secondary developmental outcomes. Incidence of infantile spasms was lower and time to spasms after randomization was later in the vigabatrin group. Adverse events were similar across groups.InterpretationPreventative treatment with vigabatrin based on EEG epileptiform activity prior to seizure onset does not improve neurocognitive outcome at 24 months in TSC children, nor does it delay onset or lower the incidence of focal seizures and drug‐resistant epilepsy at 24 months. Preventative vigabatrin was associated with later time to onset and lower incidence of infantile spasms. ANN NEUROL 2024;95:15–26

AbstractCuBi2O4 has recently emerged as a promising photocathode for photo‐electrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, its fast degradation under operation currently poses a limit to its application. Here, we report a novel method to study operando the semiconductor‐electrolyte interface during PEC operation by surface‐sensitive high‐energy X‐ray scattering. We find that a fast decrease in the generated photocurrents correlates directly with the formation of a metallic Bi phase. We further show that the slower formation of metallic Cu, as well as the dissolution of the electrode in contact with the electrolyte, further affect the CuBi2O4 activity and morphology. Our study provides a comprehensive picture of the degradation mechanisms affecting CuBi2O4 electrodes under operation and poses the methodological basis to investigate the photocorrosion processes affecting a wide range of PEC materials.

AbstractRealizing high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) in the near‐infrared (NIR) region is challenging and valuable for luminescent material, especially for thermally activated delay fluorescence (TADF) material. In this work, we report two achiral cyclic trinuclear Au(I) complexes, Au3(4‐Clpyrazolate)3 and Au3(4‐Brpyrazolate)3 (denoted as Cl−Au and Br−Au), obtained through the reaction of 4‐chloro‐1H‐pyrazole and 4‐bromo‐1H‐pyrazole with Au(I) salts, respectively. Both Cl−Au and Br−Au exhibit TADF with high PLQY (>70 %) in the NIR I (700–900 nm) (λmax = 720 nm) region, exceeding other NIR−TADF emitters in the solid state. Photophysical experiments and theoretical calculations confirmed the efficient NIR−TADF properties of Cl−Au and Br−Au were attributed to the small energy gapΔE(S1‐T2) (S = singlet, T = triplet) and the large spin‐orbital coupling induced by ligand‐to‐metal‐metal charge transfer of molecular aggregations. In addition, both complexes crystallize in the achiral Pna21 space group (mm2 point group) and are circularly polarized light (CPL) active with maxima luminescent dissymmetry factor |glum| of 3.4 × 10−3 (Cl−Au) and 2.7 × 10−3 (Br−Au) for their crystalline powder samples, respectively. By using Cl−Au as the emitting ink, 3D‐printed luminescent logos are fabricated, which own anti‐counterfeiting functions due to its CPL behavior dependent on the crystallinity.

Published: August 2023

AbstractIatrogenic nerve injury is an important cause of surgical complications. We focused on improving intraoperative visualization of nerves through highly fluorescent polymer dots (Pdots) and in vivo optical imaging instrumentation. The prepared Pdots have good biocompatibility, fluorescence stability, and simple preparation. Peripheral nerves can be imaged quickly with Pdots through a simple direct administration method and process, low non‐specific absorption in the surrounding tissues. Moreover, the Pdots does not invade nerve cells but binds stably in the neural membrane structure. This study verifies that fluorescent Pdots have excellent neuroimaging capabilities and can be used for intraoperative visualization of peripheral nerves.

AbstractThe environmentally‐friendly preparation of compatibilizers, especially copolymers with reactive monomers, is essential for developing new polymer blends. In this study, molten ε‐caprolactam was used as a green solvent to copolymerize styrene with three types of reactive monomers, namely maleic anhydride (MAH), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and 3‐isopropenyl‐α,α‐dimethylbenzyl isocyanate (TMI). The pure PS and the corresponding copolymers (PSM, PSG, and PST) had relatively high yields of 97.8%, 73.7%, 93.3%, and 96.3%, respectively. Moreover, these synthesized polymers were used as compatibilizers to modify the immiscible PA10T/PPO blends. PSM and PSG showed a positive effect in improving the compatibility of PA10T/PPO blends, reducing the size of PPO domains, and improving the mechanical properties. The long‐term thermal stability of unmodified PA10T and PA10T/PPO blends was investigated. The color changes (∆E) of PA10T, PA10T/PPO blends with the addition of pure PS, PSM, PSG, and PST changed to 46.9, 44.0, 45.2, 44.2, and 45.0 after 5 days of aging. The tensile strength retentions were 24.1%, 54.7%, 63.4%, 67.6%, and 60.0%, respectively. These results suggested that the synthesized PSG and its corresponding PA10T/PPO blend had excellent properties and great potential for the development of high‐performance plastics.
Investigation of relationship between microcapsule shell structure, dispersion state and coating performance

Published: August 2023

AbstractMicrocapsules encapsulating functional components have been widely applied in smart coating, but there was little literature about the relationship between the dispersion of embedded microcapsules and the coating performances. In this work, a series of microcapsules with different shell chemical structures were prepared via photo‐polymerization, and the relationship between the microcapsule shell component, the dispersion state in coating system and the coating properties were systematically investigated. The dispersion of microcapsule was investigated by measuring rheological behavior and SEM images. The dispersion of the microcapsules was closely correlated with the similarity between the chemical structure of the microcapsule shell and the coating matrix, and higher structural similarity facilitated a more uniform dispersion state of microcapsules in the coating matrix. The dispersion state of the microcapsules directly affected the physical properties and anticorrosion performance of the coating. The uniform dispersion of microcapsules could minimize the negative impact on the composite coating performance, whereas the agglomerated microcapsules destroyed the compactness of the composite coating, thus heavily impairing the basic properties and anti‐corrosion performance.
