Exfoliation of non-layered (structurally) bulk materials at the nanoscale is challenging because of the strong chemical bonds in the lattice, as opposed to the weak van der Waals (vdW) interactions in layered materials. We propose a top-down method to exfoliate ϵ-MnO2 nanosheets in a family of charge-ordered La1-x AEx MnO3 (AE=Ca, Sr, Ba) perovskites, taking advantage of the Jahn-Teller disproportionation effect of Mn3+ and bond-strength differences. ϵ-MnO2 crystallized into a nickel arsenide (NiAs) structure, with a thickness of 0.91 nm, displays thermal metastability and superior water oxidation activity compared to other manganese oxides. The exfoliation mechanism involves a synergistic proton-induced Mn3+ disproportionation and structural reconstruction. The synthetic method could also be potentially extended to the exfoliation of other two-dimensional nanosheet materials with non-layered structures.

P2Y

inhibitor therapy is recommended for 12 months in patients hospitalised for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) unless bleeding risk is high.

To describe real-world use of P2Y

inhibitor therapy following AMI hospitalisation.

We used population-level linked hospital data to identify all patients discharged from a public hospital with a primary diagnosis of AMI between July 2011-June 2013 in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. We used dispensing claims to examine dispensing of a P2Y

inhibitor (clopidogrel, prasugrel or ticagrelor) within 30 days of discharge, and multilevel models to identify predictors of post-discharge dispensing and persistence of therapy to one year.

We identified 31 848 patients hospitalised for AMI, of whom 56.8% were dispensed a P2Y

inhibitor within 30 days of discharge. The proportion of patients with a post-discharge dispensing varied between hospitals (interquartile range 25.0%-56.5%), and significant between-hospital variation remained after adjusting for patie(hospital and physician) and patient factors are needed to close this evidence-practice gap.

During the Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak, an urgent need existed for strong partnerships to disseminate Zika-related information to pregnant women and women of child-bearing age.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) partnered with MotherToBaby, a national organization experienced in providing information about exposures during pregnancy to healthcare providers and the public, to disseminate accurate information about ZIKV infection during pregnancy. Partnership activities included regular information sharing, cross-linking information for the public, and promoting common messaging. Following the ZIKV outbreak, we reviewed common inquiries received as well as key strategies and lessons learned from the partnership.

Between June 2016 and June 2019, MotherToBaby received 5,387 Zika-related inquiries from the public and health care providers. The majority (90%) of inquires came from preconception, pregnant, and breastfeeding women. Concerns about travel, pregnancy, sexual transmission, and preconception guidelines comprised the top information requests. Live chat was the preferred method of communication for Zika-related inquiries. Key strategies and lessons learned from this partnership included capitalizing on existing nationwide infrastructure and expertise, prominently referring to partners as a resource, promoting shared messaging using online resources and social media, holding regular calls to share information, and collecting data to identify common questions and revise messaging.

This examination of strategies, lessons learned, and metrics from MotherToBaby and CDC's partnership during the ZIKV outbreak can be applied to future partnerships to address emerging public health threats.

This study examined the psychosocial burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in young people aged 15-25 years attending a tertiary specialist health centre for adolescents and young adults in Brisbane.

Young people with IBD provided demographic information and psychosocial data via a cross-sectional self-report survey. Psychosocial data included the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief IPQ), World Health Organisation Wellbeing Index (WHO-5), Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), Short Quality of Life Questionnaire for IBD (SIBDQ), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Connor Davidson Resilience Scale 2 (CD-RISC2), and the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC).

Surveys were collected from 51 young people with IBD and compared with surveys from 210 young people with juvenile rheumatic disease (n=31), phenylketonuria (n=21), cystic fibrosis (n=33), renal transplants (n=14)lbeing. ReACp53 purchase Interventions aimed at enhancing self-efficacy and increasing public awareness are also likely to be helpful. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

To assess the extent to which spiritual well-being moderates the relationship between anxiety and physical well-being in a diverse, community-based cohort of newly diagnosed cancer survivors.

Data originated from the Measuring Your Health (MY-Health) study cohort (n = 5506), comprising people assessed within 6-13 months of cancer diagnosis. Life meaning/peace was assessed using the 8-item subscale of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-Sp-12). Anxiety was measured with an 11-item PROMIS Anxiety short form, and physical well-being was assessed using the 7-item FACT-G subscale. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess relationships among variables.

Life meaning and peace was negatively associated with anxiety, b = -0.56 (P < .001) and positively associated with physical well-being, b = 0.43 (P = <.001) after adjusting for race, education, income, and age. A significant interaction between life meaning/peace and anxiety emerged (P < .001) indicating that spiritual well-being moderates the relationship between anxiety and physical well-being.
