    Abstract The United States persists in combatting the opioid epidemic. Collectively, researchers should be in search of evidence-based solutions. One such could be an appropriate screening tool to determine a patient's risk of opioid misuse. The screening tool should be transparent, provide high specificity, be validated across a variety of healthcare settings, and be a guided clinical decision-making tool to avoid weaponizing an opioid risk score. We should shift our focus from the number of opioid prescriptions dispensed to appropriateness of each prescription. We should be aware of utilizing non-opioid therapy options. In addition, healthcare providers should be knowledgeable of opioid misuse resources in their area to avoid practicing defensively, while instead concentrating their efforts on patients' best interests. The patients' dignity should be upheld through empathetic care from healthcare providers. We need to reduce the stigma surrounding opioid use, and ensure patient safety with one, cohesive, validated, opioid risk assessment tool.

    Abstract Purpose: Our goal is to describe the contrast and blur sensitivity of multiple horizontal disparity subsystems and to relate them to the contrast and spatial sensitivities of their monocular inputs.
    Methods: Steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) amplitudes were recorded in response to dynamic random dot stereograms (DRDSs) alternating at 2 Hz between zero disparity and varying magnitudes of crossed disparity for disparity plane and disparity grating stimuli. Half-image contrasts ranged between 2.5% and 80% and over a range of Gaussian blurs from 1.4 to 12 arcmin. Separate experiments measured contrast and blur sensitivity for the monocular half-images.
    Results: The first and second harmonics disparity responses were maximal for disparity gratings and for the disparity plane condition, respectively. The first harmonic of the disparity grating response was more affected by both contrast and blur than was the second harmonic of the disparity plane response, which had higher contrast sensitivity than the first harmonic.
    Conclusions: The corrugation frequency, contrast, and blur tuning of the first harmonic suggest that it reflects activity of neurons tuned to higher luminance spatial frequencies that are selective for relative disparity, whereas the second harmonic reflects the activity of neurons sensitive to absolute disparity that are driven by low monocular spatial frequencies.
    Translational relevance: SSVEPs to DRDSs provide two objective neural measures of disparity processing, the first harmonic-whose stimulus preferences are similar to those of behavioral stereoacuity-and the second harmonic that represents an independent disparity-specific but not necessarily stereoscopic mechanism.

    Abstract Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic challenged nurse educators to develop and implement effective learning environments at a distance and refine distance education instructional strategies that were used in the past. A quality improvement project implemented in a graduate-level nursing course incorporated audiovisual discussions as an innovative pedagogy. Students chose whether to participate in class discussions by either a narrative discussion board or an audiovisual discussion method with faculty feedback in the same format. Students who chose the audiovisual discussion board found the ability to see and hear others to be helpful, suggesting audiovisual methods may improve student satisfaction and learning outcomes.

    Abstract A brief review is given of why twistor geometry has taken a central place in the theory of scattering amplitudes for fundamental particles. The emphasis is on the twistor diagram formalism as originally proposed by Penrose, the development of which has now led to the definition by Arkani-Hamed et al. of the 'amplituhedron'.

    Abstract Background: A new era in surgical robotics has centered on alternative access to anatomic targets and next generation designs include flexible, single-port systems which follow circuitous rather than straight pathways. Such systems maintain a small footprint and could be utilized for specialized operations based on direct organ target natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), of which transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is an important derivative.
    Methods: During two sessions, four direct target NOTES operations were conducted on a cadaveric model using a flexible robotic system to demonstrate proof-of-concept of the application of a next generation robotic system to specific types of NOTES operations, all of which required removal of a direct target organ through natural orifice access. These four operations were (a) robotic taTME, (b) robotic transvaginal hysterectomy in conjunction with (c) robotic transvaginal salpingo-oophorectomy, and in an ex vivo model, (d) trans-cecal appendectomy.
    Results: Feasibility was demonstrated in all cases using the Flex
    Conclusions: A flexible robotic system has the potential to access anatomy along circuitous paths, making it a suitable platform for direct target NOTES. The conceptual operations posed could be considered suitable for next generation robotics once the technology is optimized, and after further preclinical validation.

    Abstract In 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its Adult Immunization Schedule Recommendations for Ages 19 Years or Older to provide the most current evidence-based recommendations following comprehensive reviews of data related to vaccines. In its report, the CDC highlighted the importance of health care professionals staying up to date on the latest evidence. During the novel coronavirus pandemic, the ability to provide routine vaccinations to the adult population was limited and even halted at times. As in-person health care visits continue to resume, it is imperative for nurses to refocus on and be familiar with the most up-to-date vaccine recommendations. Here, we summarize information on vaccine guidelines, safety, and special considerations for women, and we highlight changes to the 2022 adult immunization schedule. Keeping individuals free of vaccine-preventable diseases is one of the most effective and important public health interventions in health care.
