As partisanship strengthens in the United States, unaffiliated voter registration is also increasing. We conducted an original survey experiment to understand voter registration choices among registered voters in Florida and North Carolina, two states with substantial shares of unaffiliated registrants and persistent partisan polarization, but with differing primary participation rules. Institutionally, Florida holds closed primaries where only those registered with a political party may...

Childhood dyslipidemia is predictive of future cardiometabolic disease. We determined the impact of obesity (Ob) and an exercise program on lipids in American Indian adolescents. This is a secondary analysis from a previously reported trial designed to determine the impact of financial incentives on exercise behavior in American Indian adolescents who were tested in Southeast Oklahoma between June 2013 and January 2017. We performed a cross-sectional comparison of fasting lipids in participants...

Herein, we report the discovery, structural and photophysical characterization of a new zero-dimensional (0D) lead-free all-inorganic halide, Rb(4)CuSb(2)Cl(11), which adopts a new structure type. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) shows that the structure consists of isolated, distorted seesaw [SbCl(4)]^(-) and trigonal planar [CuCl(3)]^(2-) units, separated by Rb^(+) cations that provide charge balance. Optoelectronic measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate...

OBJECTIVE: Succimer (meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid, DMSA) commercial manufacturing was discontinued for 5.5 years from 2016 to 2022. This radiopharmaceutical is used in our academic health center as standard of care for diagnosing and staging renal scarring. Our objective was to validate a method to verify the content of DMSA in a cold reaction vial, referred to hereafter as a kit, after compounding in a nuclear pharmacy.

CONCLUSION: This study initially demonstrates the feasibility of parameter efficient training with a foundation model for chemotherapy response prediction, highlighting its potential to support clinical decision making.
