A spreadsheet-based model for supporting equitable mental health resource distribution in Australia was developed, based on the Australian Health Survey (AHS) psychological distress findings associated with area socio-economic disadvantage (SED). An illustrative application is presented.
Stratum-specific psychological-distress rates for area SED quintiles are applied to local government areas, catchment areas and local health networks (LHNs). A case study applies the model to Victoria, including examining recommendations in the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health Services (RCVMHS) 2019 interim report for increases to bed stock in two LHNs.
Need-adjusted demand estimates considered as a ratio of raw population proportions for catchments range between 0.6 to 1.4 in Victoria. Applying the formula to the Royal Commission recommendations suggests the proposed distribution of beds is a reasonable correction for these two LHNs and indicates next expansion priorities for more equitable distribution to other LHNs.
The spreadsheet, adaptable for other states and territories, could complement National Mental Health Services Planning Framework outputs and assist in evaluation, for instance, determining potential supply shortages in the tele-mental-health response to COVID-19. We outline research directions including consideration of the moral bases of value judgements and identification of other variables including their use in parameterisation and calibration.

We found that the collective dynamics relaxation time at the structure factor peak obtained using heavy water solutions shows a distinctively different behavior in the kosmotrope as opposed to the chaotrope solutions, increasing with the salt concentration in the former and decreasing in the latter. In both cases the trends are proportional to the concentration dependence of the relative viscosity of the solutions. These results indicate that kosmotropes and chaotropes influence the solution's viscosity by impacting in opposite ways the hydrogen bond network of water, strengthening it in one case and softening it in the other.It is shown that a molecule can dissociate by the energy transferred from a remote neighbor. This neighbor can be an excited neutral or ionic atom or molecule. If it is an atom, then the transferred energy is, of course, electronic, and in the case of molecules, it can also be vibrational. Explicit examples are given which demonstrate that the transfer can be highly efficient at distances where there is no bonding between the transmitter and the dissociating molecule.We provide spectroscopic and computational evidence for a substantial change in structure and gas phase reactivity of Al3O4+ upon Fe-substitution, which is correctly predicted by multireference (MR) wave function calculations. Al3O4+ exhibits a cone-like structure with a central trivalent O atom (C3v symmetry). The replacement of the Al- by an Fe atom leads to a planar bicyclic frame with a terminal Al-O•- radical site, accompanied by a change from the Fe+III/O-II to the Fe+II/O-I valence state. BMS-536924 concentration The gas phase vibrational spectrum of Al2FeO4+ is exclusively reproduced by the latter structure, which MR wave function calculations correctly identify as the most stable isomer. This isomer of Al2FeO4+ is predicted to be highly reactive with respect to C-H bond activation, very similar to Al8O12+ which also features the terminal Al-O•- radical site. Density functional theory, in contrast, predicts a less reactive Al3O4+-like "isomorphous substitution" structure of Al2FeO4+ to be the most stable one, except for functionals with very high admixture of Fock exchange (50%, BHLYP).We examined spatiotemporal trends of diet compositions and their relationship with pollutant accumulation levels in 46 weaning Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (n = 46) from 2004 to 2017 in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) based on blubber fatty acid signatures using quantitative fatty acid signature analysis in R (QFASAR). Fifty-one potential prey species were tested, among which 13 had a mean relative proportion greater than 1% in dolphin diets. Bombay duck was the predominant prey species, followed by Dussumier's thryssa and mullet, whereas other prey species were present at considerably reduced proportions in diets. The proportion of larger fishes (Bombay duck and mullet) in the diet has exhibited a significant decreasing trend in recent years, whereas the smaller fish (Dussumier's thryssa) steadily increased over the whole period, possibly due to the severe impacts of climate change and other human stressors on large fishes in estuarine waters. The proportions of Bombay duck in the diet were significantly and positively correlated with hepatic Cr levels in dolphins, whereas the temporal change in Bombay duck consumption mirrored that in the hepatic levels of several per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, because Bombay duck was the most contaminated species among all the prey fishes.Multiple case reports have signaled a rise in buprenorphine abuse in the US, particularly among inmates. We present the case of limb ischemia secondary to accidental intra-arterial buprenorphine/naloxone film injection successfully treated with sublingual nitroglycerin. A 39-year-old man with history of intravenous drug use presented sudden severe left hand pain since three days prior to evaluation. Pain was preceded by self-injection of dissolved buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual film onto the affected arm. An arteriogram suggested severe vasoconstriction in the absence of frank thrombosis. Patient was initially treated with continuous heparin infusion and nifedipine. Forty-eight hours later, due to poor response, sublingual nitroglycerin was added to therapy. Digits regained color, sensation, and pain resolved within 15 minutes of administration of sublingual nitroglycerin. The presence of acute limb ischemia caused by prolonged vasospasm is a very rare complication. A normal angiogram should raise suspicion regarding vasospasm as the mechanism of ischemia, and prompt nitroglycerin therapy.
