Inpatient detoxification for alcohol and other drug use: qualitative study of patients’ accounts of their relationships with staff by Joanne Neale, Beth Cairns, Kevin Gardiner, Wulf Livingston, Trevor McCarthy, Andrew Perkins

“…Abstract Background The therapeutic alliance is an important predictor of treatment outcomes but people who use alcohol and other drugs report mixed views of treatment providers. We analysed patients’ accounts of inpatient detoxification staff to ascertain whether, and if so how, relationships with them, and thus the therapeutic alliance, might be improved. …”

Changes in urinary concentrations of contemporary and emerging chemicals in commerce during the COVID-19 pandemic: Insights from the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcom... by Megan E Romano, Jessie P Buckley, Xiuhong Li, Julie B Herbstman, Kurunthachalam Kannan, Sunmi Lee, Susan L Schantz, Leo Trasande, Margaret R Karagas, Frederica Perera, ECHO Cohort Consortium

“…We measured urinary concentrations of analytes across several chemical groups, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalates/alternative plasticizers, synthetic phenols (parabens, bisphenols, triclosan, benzophenones), organophosphate esters (OPEs), insecticides and fungicides. Multivariable linear mixed models accounting for key covariates and clustering within cohort and across repeated samples were used to estimate the change in urinary analyte concentrations across time points. …”

Effect of Acid on the Formation and Properties of Silane Membrane by YIN Xiao-tong, LIU Chun-hua, HE Fa-qi, FENG Li-ming

“…At present, the effect of various acids on the hydrolysis and film-formation properties of silane has been less studied.In this paper, the influence of hydrochloric acid and acetic acid on the hydrolysis and polymerization process of KH560 and KH792 single silane and silane after their combination was studied by conductivity measurement.Moreover, the organic silane film was prepared by impregnating Q235 low carbon steel sheet and glass slide in the silane solution mixed with different acids.The resistance of corrosiveness and hardness for the organic silane film were evaluated by pencil hardness and Tafel polarization curve test.Results showed that acetic acid and hydrochloric acid could promote the hydrolysis of silane KH792, delay the polymerization of silanol after hydrolysis, and improve the stability of KH792 collosol.Due to too many cross-linking points, esterification, amidation and self-condensation of polyacids coincided such as oxalic acid and phosphoric acid, KH792 collosol was rapidly gelled into polymer.In addition, hydrolysis and copolymerization of KH560 and KH792 under the catalysis of acetic acid and hydrochloric acid could shorten the curing time of the coating at room temperature, improve the crosslinking density, enhance the density of the coating and significantly improve the corrosion resistance and pencil hardness of the coating.The surface dry time decreased from 96 h to 4 h, and the hardness of the composite film reached 3H.Besides, the self-corrosion current density of films in 3.5% NaCl solution decreased from 2.364 8×10-5A/cm2 to 4.967 0×10-6A/cm2.…”
